Kaya
Holdings, Inc. Completes Sale of Cannabis Facility for $1.325 MM, Generating Cash Influx of Approximately $0.09 per share for KAYS Operations
and International Expansion
Ft.
Lauderdale, Fl., October 26, 2021 - Kaya Holdings, Inc., ("KAYS" or the "Company") (OTCQB.KAYS), the first U.S.
publicly traded company to engage in touch-the-plant cannabis activities, announced today that it has completed the sale of its Eugene,
Oregon cannabis facility for gross proceeds of $1,325,000.00. Funds have cleared escrow and the Company has allocated the capital infusion
to repay certain debt and strengthen our balance sheet, as well as provide the initial stage capital for some of the Company's
U.S. and global expansion activities, including its planned cultivation sites in Greece and Israel.
The
Kaya Kannabis Greece Facility (designer rendering), together with Kaya Farms Israel are configured to produce approximately 600,000
pounds of GMP Certified, Premium, Medical-Grade Cannabis annually for potential export to the European Union and elsewhere (after obtaining
successful financing, completing construction and obtaining final requisite licensing).
"The
funds we have received from the warehouse sale are being prioritized to advance the generation of revenues, including brand/product launches
and on-the-ground progress in our licensed Greek and Israeli projects, as well as to complete initial construction and licensing at our
26-acre cannabis production facility in Lebanon, Oregon", stated KAYS CEO and Chairman Craig Frank.
"Our
plan has always been focused on honing the skills we need to master the six core competencies we have identified as key to building tomorrow's
cannabis sector leader - cultivation, processing, retail, brands, distribution and technology", continued Frank. "We
have become highly efficient in each of these skills, by expanding our knowledge based internationally to include highly motivated, experienced
experts from Israel, the EU, and Latin America. We will continue to build tomorrow's industry leader, keeping to the long-term
business plan we have diligently been executing, out of the limelight and without the costly mega-deals being done solely to satisfy
short term investor demands. One day", concluded Frank, "the market will awaken to the reality that KAYS has quietly amassed
the know-how, assets and opportunities necessary to secure its place as a long-term, competitive and worthy player in the global cannabis
industry".
"The
closing of the sale this past week for $1.325 million yielded a gross cash influx of approximately $.09 per share." noted W. David
Jones, Senior Advisor to the Company. "There were no new shares issued to accomplish this and, as part of our recently announced
settlement with Sunstone Farms, 1,006,671 shares of KAYS stock were cancelled, decreasing issued and outstanding shares by approximately
6.5% to 14.7 million shares. As we deploy capital to move the Company forward we have also allocated funds to raise the profile of KAYS
with investors as we believe we have a very interesting story to tell that will ultimately lead to the creation of improved stockholder
value."
About
Kaya Holdings, Inc.
Kaya
(OTCQB:KAYS)
is a veteran U.S cannabis company with the historical distinction of being the first U.S. publicly traded company to hold and operate
state issued, "touch-the-plant" licenses for the retail, cultivation and processing of cannabis.
Our
operating philosophy is simple:
consistently provide high quality cannabis products at fair prices in a friendly and convenient
environment to a diverse group of customers.
Our
strategic philosophy is patience:
as Steven Wright so accurately pointed out, "the early bird may get the worm, but the
second mouse gets the cheese". We started in 2014 as the industry's public pioneer and are pleased to have that distinction. Relying
on our tendency toward patience, we elected to take the time we needed to successfully navigate a transitioning, highly regulated, massively
hyped, growing and complex global industry, working toward establishing the fundamentals to support a global cannabis enterprise at a
reasonable and sustainable cost.
Our patience is paying off and we have launched our global effort, with initial projects in
Greece and Israel.
Our
business philosophy is proactive:
while cultivating the right global opportunities built and mastered the essential cannabis
fundamentals including commercial scale cultivation and extraction/infusion, strong brands, exciting retail, distribution channels, and
access to technology.
Now that the time to grow has arrived, we are rapidly acting to secure strategic global positions, measured
capacity, penetrating distribution and qualitative/quantitative technology-driven competitive advantages.
