Los Angeles/Desert Hot Springs, CA, Dec. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“GBI”) a Los Angeles based California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) (OTCQB: IGNG) (collectively “Grapefruit” or the “Company”) is announcing that on Monday, December 16, 2019 the Company filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change the Company’s Corporate Name to Grapefruit USA, Inc., and Stock Ticker symbol to “GUSA”, “GPRE”, “GPFT” or such other Ticker symbol as FINRA and Grapefruit may agree.
With respect to the Company’s application to change its corporate name and stock ticker symbol, Grapefruit CEO, Bradley J. Yourist stated, “Now that Grapefruit’s audit is complete and IGNG’s Super 8K has been filed, we are pleased to take this final step to formalize our transition from a development stage medical device company to a fully compliant, California licensed revenue producing cannabis company. Our new corporate name reinforces our strong brand and the new ticker symbol emphasizes our departure from the Company’s past. These changes cement our new corporate identity and unite it with our strong brand. The Grapefruit team embraces this departure from the past and transition to an unlimited dynamic growth future for the Company and its shareholders.”
Mr. Yourist continued: “We anticipate the name and ticker change to be completed by year-end. Our progress has been steady in this quarter as we have completed the audit and Super 8-K, revenues have restarted and we will file Amendment number 1 to Grapefruit’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 in December.
Finally, and perhaps most significantly, after the Holidays, Grapefruit will launch its unique, patented, potentially disruptive THC infused time-release patch-less patch designed for both the both the medical and recreational cannabis markets in California and beyond. Based on our research, we believe there currently is no competition for this product. In 2020, we will be focused on growing Grapefruit’s market capitalization through well-vetted and efficient new product launches and existing product expansions, increasing our extraction laboratory volume and efficiencies, increased distribution volumes and strategic acquisitions. We look forward to 2020 with continued resolve to achieve our long stated commitment to make Grapefruit a leading vertically integrated, ethical and compliant cannabis product company”.
