$SRNA Announces Retirement of Shares, Settlement of Debt

In an agreement on August 6, 2015, Bollich agreed to discharge Surna’s debt of $192,034 and he agreed to continue to abide by trading restrictions imposed on Company insiders despite no longer serving as a director or manager of the Company. The retirement of his common shares was not pursuant to any agreement with the Company.

“I returned these shares and settled this debt because I continue to believe in this company; its future is bright,” stated Bollich. “Although I am no longer its CEO, I still support Surna and expect it to succeed brilliantly, so I have kept some of my original shares. I have the Company’s best interest in mind, and the retirement of a majority of my equity shows my continued support. Furthermore, I worked closely with long-term investors to dispense a minority of my shares in a private sale that I believe will bolster Surna’s shareholder base.”

The retired shares represent about 17% of Surna’s issued and outstanding shares as of June 30, 2015.

“We appreciate Tom’s demonstration of his confidence in the company. We are thankful for his previous service to Surna and look forward to continuing our growth and success in expanding our operational capabilities,” said Tae Darnell, Surna’s President and interim Principal Executive Officer.

Our actual results, such as the Company’s ability to finance, complete and consolidate acquisition of IP, assets and operating companies, could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors not within the control of the company such as a result of various factors, including future economic, competitive, regulatory, and market conditions.

Statement About Cannabis Markets

The use, possession, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis is prohibited by federal law.  This includes medical and recreational marijuana.  Although certain states have legalized medical and recreational cannabis, companies and individuals involved in the sector are still at risk of being prosecuted by federal authorities. Further, the landscape in the cannabis industry changes rapidly.  What was the law last week is not the law today and what is the law today may not be the law next week.  This means that at any time the city, county, or state where cannabis is permitted can change the current laws and/or the federal government can supersede those laws and take prosecutorial action. Given the uncertain legal nature of the cannabis industry, it is imperative that investors understand that the cannabis industry is a high-risk investment. A change in the current laws or enforcement policy can negatively affect the status and operation of our business, require additional fees, stricter operational guidelines and unanticipated shutdowns.
