For The Earth Announces Sharp Reduction in
Dilution Risk and Authorized Share Total
PHOENIX, AZ -- March 21, 2019
-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- For The Earth Corporation (the
“Company” or “FTEG”) (OTCMKTS:
FTEG), an emerging vertically integrated CBD producer and
retailer, is proud to announce that it will be cutting its total
Authorized Shares by 50% to 10 billion and reducing its forecast
for capital requirements in half due to recent improvements in
operational efficiency and projected growth in returns on invested
capital in coming quarters.
“As we navigate this
transition into a fully vertically integrated CBD producer and
retailer, we want our investors to know that we are committed to
avoiding dilution along the way,” noted FTEG CEO Nelson Grist. “We
have taken a number of steps to ramp up operational efficiencies,
including the establishment of a tailored product logistics
facility in Phoenix. We now believe the path to strong revenue
growth will be far less capital intensive than we have previously
assumed.”
Management notes that recent
increases in analyst expectations for growth in the CBD space (now
anticipating a twenty-fold ramp in total sales volume over the next
36 months to over $20 billion in North America, according to
several prominent forecasts) is also an important driver for the
Company’s reduction in capital needs and share authorization. The
Company now sees both a more efficient path to initial revenue
growth and a steeper growth curve beyond that
point.
In addition, management also
notes that the Company has no immediate plans for a reverse share
split. “Our assessment of our growth potential once CBD production
and distribution is underway at full scale suggests no need to
reverse split our shares any time on the foreseeable horizon,”
continued Mr. Grist. “That said, there are times when a reverse
split strategy can be in the long-term best interests of
shareholders. So, it’s something we would consider if we believe it
will augment our growth prospects. But, at present, we do not have
any plans for such a move given the organic growth potential we
believe we are tapping into as we ramp up our integrated CBD
operations.”
