BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, Nov. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verde AgriTech Plc (TSX: “NPK”) (OTCQB: “AMHPF”) ("Verde” or the “Company”) announces that it has voluntarily filed amended and restated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Interim Filings”). The Amended and Restated Interim Filings can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR, accessible at www.sedar.com.

The Amended and Restated Interim Filings reflect two corrections made to the previous filings:

• A share-based payment charge was included in Q2 2021 for options issued to the Chief Executive Officer. The vesting period was interpreted incorrectly and a charge of $194,000 should have been included in the Q1 2021 income statement with a consequential reduction in Q2 2021 charge. Overall, the cumulative figures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were correctly stated.
• Share-based bonus payments made in Q1 2021 to key management were originally not recorded in the quarter since the shares were placed into escrow, with release contingent on: 50% to be released when the shares of the Company trade above $6.45 for 10 consecutive days; 50% to be released when the Company’s sales grow approximately 10 times the 2020 total, reaching R$300,000,000 with a minimum annual audited EBITDA of R$50,000,000 (see Press Release dated March 15, 2021). Following talks with the Company's auditors, it was determined that the payments should be recognized in Q1 2021 irrespective of the achievement of future milestones necessary for the bonus payout.

The corrections are reflected in the following table:
