LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Aug 29, 2017) - Freedom Leaf Inc.™ (OTCQB: FRLF) The Marijuana Legalization Company™ is pleased to report significant developments in its Spanish acquisition, Green Market Europe, in conjunction with University Miguel Hernández in Elche, Spain.

As previously announced, Freedom Leaf and Green Market Europe have signed a letter of intent for Freedom Leaf to acquire 100% of GME's IP, projects and assets. Freedom Leaf has paid the cash stipulated in the contract as a deposit of the full transaction, and the acquisition is expected to close as soon as the legal and accounting review is completed within the next 30 days. Freedom Leaf has agreed to expand two additional growing operations internationally before the end of 2019 to maximize skills and potential of staff.

"This operation will make an interesting change of our business model, through the Intellectual Property generated, as well as products and services offered to our wide network of clients," noted Clifford J Perry, Co-founder and CEO of Freedom Leaf Inc.

Luis Miguel Santos, Founder of GME comments, "We are thrilled to be a part of the Freedom Leaf group and expect to benefit from our mutual collaboration in the near term and into the future. We are confident Green Market Europe is already the most technically advanced hemp producer in Spain, but being a part of Freedom Leaf will help us become a company with global reach, expand operations overseas and maximize our know how and expertise required in such a versatile plant."

GME facilities include a 21,000-sq. ft. light deprivation greenhouse that allows increasing the number of crops per year, a 43,000-sq. ft. greenhouse and indoor growing facility for Genetic research.

GME is strategically located in Elche, Alicante, an important Spanish business hub, with great year-round weather conditions for agricultural growing and it is also a traditional Hemp growing region.

GME has a current collaboration agreement with local University of Miguel Hernandez to grow and develop an EU certified Hemp strain with high cannabidiol (CBD) content that can easily grow in the local climate, and for researching better methods for growing hemp.

The company has also applied to become a licensed Cannabis producer in Spain under the supervision of Spanish authorities and compliant with International Narcotic laws, and is collaborating with two privately owned European companies for product development and global marketing to provide a variety of Freedom Leaf branded products with Rare Cannabinoids, CBG, (Cannabigerol) in addition to its popular CBD, Cannabidiol.

The company is in negotiations to acquire participations in local $2M Food grade ethanol extraction plant that can extract up to 400 pounds of hemp fiber per batch, as well as from fruit and vegetable sources.

Consequently, the company also is also finalizing studies to produce either Freedom Leaf affiliated brands and/or white label CBD infused functional beverages such as water, beer, wine or pomegranate juice made in Europe or licensed product development in North America.
