GrowLife, Inc. Announces Retirement of Over One-Half Billion Shares


KIRKLAND, Wash., Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GrowLife, Inc. (OTCQB:PHOT), one of the nation's most recognized indoor cultivation product and service providers, today announced that GrowLife and CANX USA, LLC, (“CANX”) have completed an agreement to terminate all past agreements between the parties including that which entitled CANX to receive up to 540,000,000 shares of GrowLife Common Stock priced at $0.033 related to the exercise of Warrants.  Effective immediately, all existing or further rights and obligations between the parties under, arising out of, or in any way related to each of the existing agreements and the Warrants have been terminated in exchange for a one-time lump sum issuance of $1,000,000 in PHOT common stock priced at the February 7, 2019 closing price of $0.008, or 125,000,000 restricted common stock shares issued directly to CANX. As a result there are no further rights, obligations, or relationship between the two companies.

“After years of extensive and cooperative negotiations I am pleased to report that GrowLife has taken a significant step towards strengthening our balance sheet with the cancellation of warrants to purchase of up to 540 million common shares,” said GrowLife CEO Marco Hegyi. “CANX provided necessary support in 2013 and 2014 that entitled CANX to 540,000,000 shares at $0.033, which was considered to be a suppressive ‘overhang’ to PHOT’s share price by many investors.  By issuing 125,000,000 restricted shares priced at $0.008, we have retired the entire CANX overhang.  I see this as a win-win to both PHOT shareholders and CANX investors.”
