LAKE ELSINORE, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/24/14 — Aja Cannafacturing, Inc. (OTCQB: AJAC) announced today Mr. Kendall A. Smith is now a member of the Board of Directors and started his first day by participating in the Company–s Board meeting yesterday. During that meeting, the Company announced the Board adopted a plan that set a clear path for the Company–s future by designating a leader for each entity. Each leader will build their management team as quickly as possible and develop and execute a definitive plan that includes the raising of new capital.
The Company stated Mr. Smith, a recent addition to its Board of Directors, was selected to become the Chief Executive Officer and President tentatively effective October 1, 2014, with Mr. Plantinga continuing as its Chairman of the Board of Directors for only that period of time necessary to resolve any legacy issues outstanding. The Company will identify and review candidates to appoint to its Board of Directors to expand its base of support in its pursuit of new capital and other new resources. This change in leadership solidifies the Company–s commitment to its new business model and changes how the Company will operate. Mr. Smith is very familiar in the hemp and cannabis space and has the vision for the company to grow and exploit its recently adopted business model.
Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. (CES), its wholly-owned subsidiary, will retain Scott Plantinga as its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and seek new members to appoint to its Board of Directors. CES will be spun off in a deal that is currently being negotiated by its parent–s Board of Directors. This news follows the announcement on September 15, 2014 that Aja Cannafacturing, Inc. had approved divestiture of Charge!, pending regulatory approval. A highlight of the divestiture plan is that shareholders, as of a date soon to be announced, are scheduled to receive a share in both AJAC and CES on a 1 for 1 pro-rata basis, thus providing greater value and opportunity for shareholders.
In follow up to the previous announcement that Charge! Energy Storage will attend ESNA Expo 2014, Plantinga stated, “We are excited to continue our discussion and development of our strategic partnership with the executive management of FGY Energy Storage Research Institute (FGY Energy Storage Research Institute Co., Ltd. a Jiang Su, China) next week at the ESNA (Energy Storage North America) Expo and Conference in San Jose, California, September 30 – October 2, 2014. For those not familiar with the event, the Energy Storage North America is the largest grid energy storage event in North America and features critical insights into market developments and technology integration, and will have over 1,000 leading customers in attendance along with technology providers and partners that can participate in over 40 conference sessions, hands-on workshops and site tours in Silicon Valley.”
Mr. Plantinga added, “The Investor Deck for CES is complete and the 2-year detailed budget projections have been finalized so we are excited to continue our discussions with this strategic partner as well as other investor groups. Since we will also be attending the show together I look forward to making introductions and speaking with all my colleagues in the energy storage field, some of whom I haven–t seen since last year–s Energy Storage North American conference.”
