American Green, Inc. (ERBB) and Delta International Oil and Gas (DLTZ) Finalize Nipton Deal

As a fully reporting public company, Delta can rapidly qualify for exchange listing, giving it access to far cheaper capital while vastly increasing shareholder value for American Green.

David Gwyther, American Green’s Chairman, stated, “Contrary to a few erroneous commentators, American Green did not dispose of Nipton. Rather, our company utilized the sale of Nipton in order to acquire Delta and grow shareholder value.”

Mr. Gwyther continued, “Now, with Delta operating as a subsidiary of American Green, both companies can work in tandem, growing and expanding not only our opportunities in Nipton, but will enable us to develop whatever new opportunities present themselves.”

“We plan for Delta to become one of, if not the largest cannabis-friendly real estate investment companies, but as such, it cannot yet have its hand directly in cannabis operations. American Green will operate where Delta cannot,” he concluded.

Scott Stoegbauer will continue to act as interim president until the board officially appoints him as its new CEO.
