Investee Company Update: Little Green Pharma Ltd

SEED Innovations Ltd, the AIM-quoted investment company providing shareholders with exposure to early-stage health, wellness, and medical cannabis companies to which in normal circumstances they have limited access to, is pleased to note that its portfolio company, Little Green Pharma Ltd ('LGP'), has published its quarterly activities report and Appendix 4C for the period ending 31 December 2023 on the ASX.

The Company owns 7,324,796 ordinary shares in LGP representing 2.44% of LGP's issued share capital.

Commenting on the announcement, Ed McDermott, CEO of Seed said: "LGP's 25% surge in year-to-date revenue to A$18.1 million is an outstanding result, underscoring its commitment to driving sustainable growth and delivering value to its stakeholders. As well as strengthening its position in Australia where it is the second-largest flower portfolio holder having recorded a 75% rise in flower sales year-to-date, LGP is also making excellent inroads into the UK and European markets and is positioned to potentially benefit from any positive ripple effects from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' recommendation to reschedule cannabis. We look forward to receiving further updates as the year progresses."
