Affinor Growers Amends License Agreement and Issues Option Grant

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 31, 2016) - Affinor Growers (CSE:AFI)(CSE:AFI.CN)(OTCQB:RSSFF)(FRANKFURT:1AF) ("Affinor" or the "Corporation), a diversified agriculture and biotechnology company with proprietary vertical farming systems, has signed several license agreements with companies to use Affinor's technology over the last year. Each license agreement has the potential to generate significant equipment sales, long term royalties, ownership options and joint venture partnerships if the partner is successful in financing and building the vertical farms as planned.

The private non-exclusive license issued in British Columbia Canada, as announced April 27, 2016, has recently received a permit to build a vertical farm from the City of Abbotsford and are expecting to break ground in November. This license agreement has also been amended so that Affinor gets 10% ownership of the licensee company for the $100,000 license fee. This allows the partner to move ahead with construction faster and gives Affinor a share of the profits from this farm that is close to Affinor's Vancouver base.

Affinor is also pleased to announce that the holder of the non-exclusive license issued in Tennessee, as announced May 25, 2016, has recently received a letter from the City of Portland's Mayor supporting a new facility with Affinor Growers vertical farming technology. They plan to start construction in early 2017.

Affinor's board of directors has also approved the grant of 700,000 stock options exercisable at $0.17 per share and expiring October 25, 2019.
