Green Growth Brands

Green Growth Brands Inc. (OTCQB: GGBXF) had earlier this week announced that it had defaulted on its debentures due this month, now it is headed to the Canadian equivalent of bankruptcy. Green Growth said that has filed for insolvency protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) and obtained an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granting the Applicants protection under the CCAA. Ernst & Young Inc. has consented to act as the Court-appointed monitor.

Green Growth said that the Court has granted CCAA protection for an initial 10 day period, subject to extension thereafter as the Court deems appropriate, which expires on May 29, 2020. While under CCAA protection, creditors and others are stayed from enforcing any rights against Green Growth.

Green Growth said it had to file for insolvency due to maturing debt and the effects of COVID-19 on its one dispensary The+Source which is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lack of tourists has caused a severe drop in sales in many of the companies located there.
