TORONTO, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lineage Grow Company Ltd. (the "Company" or "Lineage") (CSE:BUDD) today announced that the Company has submitted applications to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (the “OLCC”) to secure Marijuana Retailer Licenses (the “Licenses”) in connection with the previously announced acquisition of Rosebuds Bakery, LLC d/b/a Terpene Station and Brooklyn Holding Co. d/b/a Terpene Station Portland (the “Terpene Station Acquisition”).

Lineage is engaged in the process of acquiring two retail dispensary locations in Portland and Eugene, Oregon with a view towards establishing vertically-integrated cannabis operations focused on serving the premium quality segment of the Oregon craft cannabis market.

Completion of the Terpene Station Acquisition will be subject to satisfactory final completion of due diligence, execution of a definitive agreement, and the approval of the license applications by the OLCC.
