GBI Commences Extraction in Their State-of-the-Art Facilities
Burbank, CA, April 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imaging3, Inc. (OTCQB:IGNG), (“Imaging3” or the “Company”), a development stage company focused on the introduction of disruptive technologies in the medical imaging industry, is updating its prior announcement regarding the execution of a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to be acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by a privately held Los Angeles based cannabis company.
On Thursday, March 28, 2019, GBI commenced operation of its ethanol-based extraction laboratory at GBI’s facilities and commenced processing and manufacturing of cannabis distillate or ‘honey oil.’ This cannabis distillate or ‘honey oil’ is used in a wide variety of cannabis and hemp products, including, but not limited to, e-cigarettes or ‘vapor’ cartridges, cannabis pre-rolls and cannabis infused edibles. GBI’s Chief Executive Officer, Bradley J. Yourist, stated “GBI has achieved a significant milestone on its path to becoming a fully integrated seed to sale cannabis company. Our state-of-the-art, fully-licensed extraction laboratory is in actual operation. We are converting top quality biomass to highest quality distillate in our licensed facility. We will distribute this cannabis distillate under our California state license into the California cannabis product market. Now that we have the proven ability to legally manufacture and distribute this high quality distillate, it only remains to add additional lab units and source additional biomass to grow our revenues. We believe that our reverse acquisition of IGNG will significantly facilitate our ability to quickly obtain the financing necessary to win the race to become the preeminent fully integrated cannabis product company in California, the USA and eventually the world. Such belief is supported by the term sheets we have received from qualified investors and other inquiries we have entertained. We are very pleased that our many months of hard work and careful planning to get our laboratory approved and operational have paid-off remarkably well.”
John Hollister, IGNG’s current CEO stated, “The launch of GBI’s sophisticated state-of-the-art extraction laboratory is irrefutable evidence of their commitment to and ability to execute their plan. It confirms that current IGNG management’s decision to enter into the GBI transaction and thereby afford current IGNG shareholders with the best available opportunity to have their IGNG holdings enhanced while, at the same time, limiting their risks, was a proper one. We look forward to expeditiously moving ahead with the GBI reverse acquisition and in connection with that finalizing drafting of our definitive share exchange agreement.”
Potential investors in IGNG’s common shares are cautioned that there can be no assurances that the reverse acquisition of IGNG by GBI will ever be closed and that even if it is, there can be no assurance that the Company will thereafter be able to obtain the financing necessary to achieve its articulated goals and further that even if such financing is obtained that it will be sufficient for the Company to achieve its ultimate goals.
About Imaging3, Inc.
Imaging3, Inc., founded in 1993, has developed a patented medical imaging technology, called the Dominion SmartScan™, that produces 3D X-ray images, effectively in real time. The SmartScan technology has the potential to allow healthcare professionals to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures more quickly and accurately, which may result in higher throughput for the clinicians and fewer safety risks for patients. Imaging3’s technology exposes patients to less harmful radiation than current equivalent imaging technologies such as CT scans. The company believes this will allow scans to be used in many settings where scanning is currently limited by concerns about radiation exposure. The technology also notably allows for reasonably convenient portability, easier installation and use-readiness, and a significantly reduced cost burden suitable for novel settings and for healthcare systems across varied global settings. Imaging3 plans to submit a 510(k) application to FDA during 2019 and or 2020 to gain marketing authorization for initial applications for the SmartScan technology.
