Munich, November 30, 2021 - Synbiotic SE today concluded a contribution agreement for the acquisition of 50.1% of the shares of Hanf Farm GmbH, Hemp Factory GmbH, Hempro International GmbH and MH medical hemp GmbH. The shares will be contributed to the company as part of a capital increase in kind. Synbiotic SE will resolve a capital increase in kind of €450,900 by issuing 450,900 new shares. SynBiotic SE is also making a payment of €2 million into the companies' capital reserve. The combined contributed shares are valued at €11.27 million.

With the four companies Hanf Farm GmbH (largest organic hemp cultivation firm in Europe), Hempro International GmbH (largest hemp food distributor in Central Europe, with an international supplier and customer network, and profitable own brands), Hemp Factory GmbH (largest hemp food production in Central Europe) and MH medical hemp GmbH (CBD expert and wholesaler with THC BtM approval), SynBiotic SE's portfolio is being enriched by important infrastructures and profitable brands.
