ITEM 5.02 Departure of Officer and Director.
Effective May 8, 2017, Mr. Craig Ellins retired from the Company and in connection therewith, resigned his positions of Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors and his position of Chief Innovation Officer for the Company. John Poss, who replaced Mr. Ellins last year as CEO, will now also serve as Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Ellins was the visionary behind the Company's focus on pharmaceutical grade, consistent and efficacious medicines as well as much of its proprietary technology designed to produce and enhance those medicines. Principal among these is the groundbreaking GB tissue propagation technique that allows for identical plants to be cultivated, as opposed to the traditional methods of generational growing where one plant is descended from its progenitor. The Company wishes Mr. Ellins all the best in his retirement.
