Agrify Closes Sale of its Cultivation Business
06 January 2025 - 11:00PM
Agrify Corporation (Nasdaq: AGFY) (“Agrify” or the
“Company”), a leading provider of branded innovative solutions for
the cannabis and hemp industries, today announced the Company has
signed an agreement for and closed the sale of its cultivation
business to CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with
Raymond Chang, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer (the “Transaction”). The Transaction involves the sale of
the Agrify cultivation business and assets, the assumption of
liabilities related to the cultivation business by CP, and the
termination of two convertible notes held by CP totaling
approximately $7 million.
On December 31, 2024, Agrify signed an Asset
Purchase Agreement for the Transaction with CP and simultaneously
closed the Transaction. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, CP
agreed to acquire all assets related to the cultivation portions of
the Agrify business from the Company, including but not limited to,
the Company’s Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”), the related Agrify
total-turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify InsightsTM
software solutions (collectively the “Cultivation Business”).
“We are pleased to complete the sale of Agrify’s
cultivation business and to simplify our business. We believe focus
drives excellence and this move allows us to focus on more
attractive growth categories tied to THC demand. This
includes hemp-derived THC Delta 9 (HD9) beverages and our
amazing drinks like Señorita, the award-winning THC Margarita
available in 9 states and online direct to consumers,” said Agrify
Chairman and Interim CEO Ben Kovler. “Señorita, the country’s
leading THC Margarita is an all-natural, low calorie, great tasting
alcohol alternative that provides an elevated experience. In this
Dry January, Señorita feels like an obvious choice for America
(www.senoritadrinks.com). Selling the cultivation business allows
Agrify to focus on the future, which we believe includes Más
Señorita.”
“I am pleased to continue the cultivation
business, and the separation of business segments will allow each
party to better concentrate their efforts going forward,” said
Raymond Chang.
