AgriFORCE Completes Acquisition of Radical Clean Solutions

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Mergers And Acquisitions.

Strategic acquisition strengthens IP portfolio with the addition of patent-pending technology proven to eliminate pathogens in food production and storage facilities and indoor farms, commercial and industrial applications, hospitals, schools, residential applications and more

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property (“IP”) focused technology company, announces the closing of the acquisition of the assets of Radical Clean Solutions Limited (“RCS”) for which the Company has held worldwide rights in the agriculture space.

The RCS Hydroxyl Technology generates and distributes hydroxyl radicals, highly reactive molecules that target and break down pathogens, virus, mold, volatile organic compounds, and other contaminants at an atomic level. Hydroxyl radicals, often referred to as “nature’s detergent,” exist naturally in the outdoor environment and are a key part of the natural cleaning process of the atmosphere. RCS has harnessed the power of hydroxyl radicals in a controlled indoor environment, allowing for the broad-spectrum disinfection and decontamination without the use of toxic chemicals. This technology is environmentally friendly and compatible with people, pets and plants. AgriFORCE previously acquired the worldwide rights to exclusively commercialize and distribute the RCS technology in controlled environment agriculture and food manufacturing and transport and subsequently invested a 14% stake in RCS in 2023.

Company CEO, Jolie Kahn, stated, “As food safety concerns continue to impact manufacturing and produce packing facilities worldwide, this acquisition strengthens our IP portfolio with a patent-pending technology proven to eliminate pathogens without the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, the worldwide market for the RCS technology applies to hospitals, homes, schools, offices, people transport, and multiple other commercial and industrial applications. This transaction represents our go-forward strategy, allowing us to expand our reach beyond the agriculture sector into a wider sustainable technology development strategy that we believe will drive revenue progression and long-term shareholder value.”

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has also entered into a two-year consulting agreement with RCS Chief Executive Officer Roger Slotkin, who will be heading the development and manufacturing of the product line and servicing as President of RCS, commented, “We believe the tailwind created by AgriFORCE’s agricultural and CEA domain expertise, along with new access to capital and distribution initiatives RCS has already taken worldwide, will accelerate the commercialization of our technology across food production, healthcare, and both commercial and consumer markets. I look forward to working closely with management to implement a global distribution strategy.”
