(OTC:MRMD), a multi-state cannabis operator which develops, owns and manages cannabis facilities and branded products lines, announced today that Navy Capital Green Fund, LP (“Navy Capital”), made a $14.725 million investment in MariMed in November 2018 (some of which was reported in MariMed’s last 8K SEC filing).

“Navy Capital is a valued partner whose ongoing funding is helping us execute our growth strategy,” stated Robert Fireman, MariMed CEO. “Part of this investment was used to fund our new partnership with GenCanna, a major producer of CBD derived from hemp. We intend to help GenCanna develop and distribute innovative brands of CBD-infused health and wellness products.”
Fireman concluded, “We’ve reported two years of uninterrupted year-over-year quarterly revenue growth. Navy Capital’s infusion of capital will help us maintain that revenue growth in 2019 and beyond.”
