Los Angeles, Nov. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Express (OTC Pink: PNPL), a publicly traded company that offers cannabis industry consulting, technology, investments, turn-key property rentals, and branding concepts to businesses in the legal cannabis industry, announced today that it has opened an investment round of $1M to accelerate its continued growth and expansion. The common stock investment round will be offered through the JOBS Act, Section 506(c), a law that allows issuers to advertise their offerings to the general public.
The minimum investment will be $20,000. Participation in the offering is only available to "accredited investors" who generally include persons with a net worth of at least $1 million (excluding residence), income of $200,000 per year (or $300,000 with spouse), officers and directors of the issuer, and institutions that have more than $5 million in assets.
Matthew Feinstein, chief executive officer and chairman, comments "Since our inception we have been offering long term strategies for entrepreneurs looking to establish new cannabis dispensaries and production facilities, and we have been helping existing operators "Pineapple-ize" their current operations with our distinctive brand. We expect the next six months to be a key period in our development, and this financing will enable us to accelerate our continued growth."
"We are pleased to use the new Rule 506(c) general solicitation structure for this offering," states Chris Plummer, chief compliance officer at Pineapple Express. "This structure allows us to reach a broader audience of investors and is faster and less expensive than a traditional public offering. We are committed to creating and maintaining lasting shareholder value, and this cost-effective offering is ideal for raising the capital in a transparent and efficient manner."
