NaturalShrimp, Inc. (NSI), (OTCQB:SHMP), an aquaculture Company which has developed and patented the first commercially
operational Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for shrimp, announced today that it has formally closed the
acquisition for the assets of Alder Aqua, formerly known as VeroBlue Farms in Webster City, Iowa, including but not
limited to the real property, equipment, tanks, rolling stock, inventory, permits, customer lists, contracts and other
such assets used in the operation of the business.
Gerald Easterling, CEO of NaturalShrimp, commented, "This acquisition represents a watershed moment for both the Company
and its shareholders. The state-of-the-art facility, alongside our other expansion project in La Coste, Texas provides
NSI the resources and capacity to become the largest RAS shrimp producer in the country. This turnkey operation affords
us the benefit of not only creating a facility that will produce thousands of pounds of shrimp per week, but also the
opportunity to work with existing Barramundi distributors for an incremental revenue stream that could be effective in a
relatively short time."
Tom Untermeyer, Chief Technology Officer of NaturalShrimp, commented, "Closing on this facility provides us the ability
to integrate our already patented electrocoagulation system technology with a technologically advanced commercial
seafood operation. With 2,700,000 gallons of recirculating capacity and approximately 344,000 square feet, we are very
encouraged that we will have the capability to produce the most natural shrimp in the industry at a rate not seen by
other leading seafood producers."
William J. Delgado, CFO of NaturalShrimp, added, "We could not be more pleased that we have formally closed this
acquisition. The value proposition for this facility could not be understated. Not only do we have the benefit of adding
this significant asset to our company's valuation, more importantly, we firmly believe that this production facility
will generate substantial revenue for our company. As important to these physical assets, we will be adding skilled
personnel in all areas including production, operations and distribution."
