22 August 2022

Bright Green Corporation (Nasdaq: BGXX) (“Bright Green” or “the Company”), one of few companies selected by the U.S. government to grow, manufacture, and sell, legally under federal and state laws, cannabis and cannabis-related products for research, pharmaceutical applications and affiliated export, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“This quarter has shown that Bright Green is uniquely positioned to capitalize on a growing market opportunity and deliver on our near and long-term goals as we scale our business,” said Terry Rafih, Bright Green’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "In May, we completed a direct listing of our common stock on Nasdaq – a milestone that has provided us access to the public capital markets and strengthened our profile as a player in the cannabis industry.”

Mr. Rafih continued, “Since our direct listing, we have made significant progress developing our world-class agricultural facility in Grants, New Mexico. These advancements, as well as relationships with key strategic partners like Techson IP, will help us meet growing demand from potential pharmaceutical and research partners. We look forward to sharing additional updates on our progress over the coming months.”

Strategic Highlights for Second Quarter 2022

  • Continued progress on renovation of existing 22-acre greenhouse facility to grow, manufacture and market federally-compliant cannabis, pending DEA registration and quota approvals:
    • Completed installation of medical-grade panels throughout the greenhouse facility; ongoing installation of high-tech security solution to ensure compliance with standard operating procedures and federal security requirements.
    • Renovation of the greenhouse facility is anticipated for completion in the second half of 2022.
