TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2021 / Cannabis Growth Opportunity Corporation ("CGOC", or the "Company") (CSE:CGOC), a cannabis focused investment corporation with both public and private cannabis holdings, is pleased to announce that the Company has amended its articles in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act and has changed its name to "Plant-Based Investment Corp.", effective January 15, 2021. The Company's new stock symbol on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") will be "PBIC", and its common shares are expected to commence trading on the CSE under the new name and symbol at market open on January 19, 2021. At the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 30, 2020, the shareholders of the Company authorized CGOC's board of directors (the "Board") to change the name of the Company to such name as the Board determined in their sole discretion in connection with a repositioning of CGOC.

Paul Crath, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In connection with a repositioning of CGOC's public and private investment platform and to reflect certain market opportunities identified by management, the board of directors determined to proceed with a name change to "Plant-Based Investment Corp." to better reflect management's focus on investments that relate to the broader cannabis plant family, including hemp plants and cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG and CBN, along with other terpenes and flavonoids found in cannabis and other plants. Furthermore, there are new opportunities with combinatorial products and their related intellectual property resulting from combining cannabis plant compounds with other functional plant- and fungi-based ingredients."

No action will be required by existing shareholders with respect to the name change. Certificates representing common shares of the Company will not be affected by the name change and will not need to be exchanged. The Company encourages any shareholder with any questions or concerns to contact the Company or to discuss any of the foregoing with their broker or agent.
