GrowLab™ Pharmaceuticals Secures $210 Million Capital Commitment from Global Emerging Markets (GEM)

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, December 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GrowLab™ PLC (GrowLab Pharmaceuticals; GrowLab) has obtained a $210 million capital commitment from Gem Global Yield LLC SCS (GGY), part of GEM. This investment will allow GrowLab to fast track its growth plans.

GEM will provide GrowLab Pharmaceuticals with a Share Subscription Facility of up to $210 million for a 36-month term following an equity exchange listing, which will allow GrowLab to drawdown funds by issuing equity shares to GGY. GrowLab will control the timing of such drawdowns and has no minimum drawdown obligation.

Proceeds from the capital commitment will be used for general corporate purposes as well as construction and development of three biopharmaceutical campuses on three continents, each with commercial production capacity of approximately twenty-five million units per year of GrowLab’s proprietary DNA-specific phytocannabinoid derived therapies, Comacadine^® and Grolatine^®. The therapies have been scientifically curated and synthesized, and have gone through clinical trials over the past six years for treatment of diabetes, prostate cancer, sickle cell disease, glaucoma, and arthritis.

The CEO of GrowLab Pharmaceuticals, Tshepo Kgadima commented, “The GEM commitment is key to GrowLab’s long term strategy to become a publicly-listed and fully-funded biopharmaceutical multinational champion. It is also a validation of our robust business model and equity valuation fundamentals underpinned by proprietorship of genetics, certainty of revenue generation, control of costs of production and positive cash flow targets in the first year of commercial operations. The year 2023 marks a significant milestone for GrowLab as it celebrates its 40th anniversary with a proud history characterized by unending quest for excellence in research and development of clinically efficacious and safe biopharmaceutical therapies.”
