Bright Green Corporation (Nasdaq: BGXX)
Dear BGXX Shareholders,
I’m writing to you today to share an update on
several developments for Bright Green Corporation (“Bright Green”
or the “Company”) over the past few months. We’ve experienced
massive shifts within the industry since the start of 2024 — shifts
that have presented exciting growth opportunities for Bright
Green.
I’ll begin with an update on the state of our
groundbreaking EB-5 investment program in partnership with Asia
Capital Pioneers Group (“ACPG”). I’m thrilled to share with you
that we have confirmed our first three applications through this
partnership and have been informed that more than a dozen
additional investors have taken steps to begin the program
investment.
To capitalize on this momentum, the team at ACPG
just completed the first successful event on the 26th of May. This
kicks off a series of events hosted by ACPG and featuring the
Company, and the Company’s EB-5 program. With more than 100
potential investors in attendance at the first event, we are
optimistic about the immense interest we’re experiencing,
particularly as we look forward to future events in Dubai,
Singapore and Malaysia. We will be sharing developments from these
events on our Regional Center Website.
With our EB-5 program gaining traction, we are
moving full steam ahead with our prominent initiative to accelerate
our commercialization of Schedule I and Schedule II controlled
substances in the U.S., once all necessary approvals are obtained.
We have submitted our DEA 2025 quota request for Schedule I and
Schedule II substances, meaning that as of today, Bright Green has
applied to produce 22 Schedule I and Schedule II controlled
substances in total.
Schedule I |
Schedule II |
Ibogaine |
Oxycodone |
Marijuana Extract |
Morphine |
Marijuana |
Morphine Methylbromide |
Tetrahydrocannabinols |
Morphine Methylsulfonate |
Mescaline |
Morphine N Oxide |
Peyote |
Thebaine |
Psilocybin |
Opium, Raw |
Psilocyn |
Opium Extracts |
|
Opium Fluid Extracts |
|
Opium (Tincture) |
|
Opium (Powder) |
|
Opium, Granulated |
|
Opium Poppy, Poppy Straw |
|
Poppy Straw Concentrate |
If these quotas and our registration application
are approved, we aim to handle 70% of all Marijuana, Marijuana
extract, and Tetrahydrocannabinols production within the DEA’s
program. We also aim to handle 70% of Mescaline (psychedelic
plants) production and 50% of Psilocybin and Psilocyn production
taking place within the DEA’s program.
To support this planned growth, we are working
closely with the team at CEADL (Controlled Environment Agricultural
Design) to establish all of the necessary upgrades for our existing
facility, permits, and engineering for our Phase II facility in
Grants, New Mexico, and help oversee logistical operations of our
planned Schedule I and Schedule II commercialization, and ensure
legal compliance and optimal progress. With the support of CEADL,
I’m ecstatic to announce we are in the final stages of preparation
to begin production at the existing facility. With the current EB-5
push, we aim to deliver initial production by end of the first
quarter of 2025. This is very positive news. The plan is to start
with the cannabis offerings and trials for our opium plants if we
receive all necessary approvals in time.
As things have progressed quickly in our
collaboration with CEADL, I want to share an exciting internal
pivot that Bright Green has recently undergone. After exploring
several potential opportunities for acquisition and partnership,
we’ve decided the best path for Bright Green is the establishment
of our own in-house API and Plant Genetics Research and Medical
team. We feel strongly that this approach will allow us to
fully leverage our explorations with Smart Farming and Artificial
Intelligence Technology that will better position Bright Green to
meet the rapidly-growing demand for Schedule I and Schedule II
controlled substances. In addition, bringing our research and
development in-house will provide us with more agility as we
continue our march through unprecedented territory.
While our Schedule I and Schedule II
applications and commercialization remain a focal point, I would
like to comment on the recent announcement by the DEA of their
initiative to reclassify Cannabis as a Schedule III substance.
There have been misconceptions surrounding this rescheduling, so I
want to be very clear that we see this as a beneficial opportunity
for Bright Green, the cannabis industry, and the world as a whole.
We are optimistic that this reclassification will support reducing
stigmas and encouraging healthy business flow in the cannabis
industry.
As far as what the rescheduling of cannabis
means for Bright Green’s business and operations, we expect an
increased demand in cannabis as an active ingredient. We believe
this will make us the go-to resource best equipped to meet that
demand. We anticipate that by 2025 Bright Green will carry 70% of
the DEA’s cannabis quota here in the United States—establishing us
as the largest producer of DEA cannabis in the country; if our
fundraising, construction and approvals go as planned.
In addition, the continued upside for operators
will go well beyond the tax benefits. This reclassification serves
as an acknowledgement of state-based medical programs, and we
continue to be an advocate for their growth.
Overall, I hope your takeaway from this letter
matches my continuous optimism for Bright Green’s forward progress.
We are working tirelessly behind the scenes to continue the
realization of our established goal: pioneering the “Drugs Made in
America” movement to create a reliable domestic API supply chain,
and reducing our dependence on foreign drug imports for the
betterment of the United States and anyone who calls it home.
We look forward to the future together. With utmost respect,
Gurvinder Singh
CEO,
