GrowLife’s CEO Marco Hegyi Receives Contract Extension

KIRKLAND, Wash.--()--GrowLife, Inc. (OTCBB:PHOT), one of the nation’s most recognized indoor cultivation service providers, today announced that the Board of Directors have agreed to extend Mr. Marco Hegyi’s employment contract for another two years after extensive discussions.

“Marco Hegyi has led PHOT back to active trading from the Gray Sheet market, effectively maintained positive and constructive relationships with shareholders, customers and suppliers, and enabled PHOT to continue operating through the Company’s most challenging times,” stated GrowLife Compensation Committee Chairman and Board Member Michael Fasci. “Therefore, with this employment agreement, GrowLife will maintain management continuity for the next two years under Marco’s leadership.”

Mr. Hegyi joined GrowLife, Inc. in December 2013 as the Company’s President. On April 10, 2014, shortly after his joining the Company, PHOT was temporarily suspended from public trading for 10 days by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission who stated the reason as “…because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace and potentially manipulative transactions in PHOT’s common stock.” Later that year the Commission arrested and prosecuted four outside individuals for manipulation of PHOT stock. No charges by the Commission were ever filed against PHOT. As the chief executive of the Company, Mr. Hegyi secured the necessary financing to maintain operations, worked through the Commission process and completed a 22-month journey to resume active trading.

“GrowLife is a great company, from its employees to its customers and shareholders, with an exciting future that deserves to benefit from the growing demand for indoor cultivation. The upcoming election is just one factor that can substantially increase GrowLife’s market capacity and product demand,” said Mr. Hegyi. “There are many expansion opportunities for GrowLife, from serving our large commercial cultivation customers and caregivers to the emerging home indoor growers, all who need the equipment, supplies and expertise that GrowLife provides. Also, strong and reliable financing partners, acquisitions, up-listing to OTCQB, service programs and increased partnerships, can provide even greater growth. We are far from finishing what was started. Therefore, I am proud to continue the work and I cannot imagine a better company than GrowLife to capitalize on the industry’s direction.”
