Addendum to Memorandum of Agreement Between Drug Enforcement Administration and Bright Green Corporation Regarding Mother Plants and Progenies
This addendum to a Memorandum of Agreement is between the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Bright Green Corporation. It allows Bright Green to maintain and use cannabis "Mother Plants" to produce new plants, or "Progenies," within a controlled facility. The agreement specifies that any harvested material classified as a Schedule I controlled substance will be regulated under the agreement, while non-controlled substances, such as hemp, are excluded from its terms. The agreement is signed by representatives of both parties and is effective as of April 27, 2023.
Exhibit 10.2
ADDENDUM
The Drug Enforcement Administration and Bright Green Corporation (herein referred to as “Parties”) agree, within the terms set forth within this Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that Bright Green Corporation will maintain plants of known cannabinoid content, or “Mother Plants”, in a segregated area within the controlled premise. Viable portions of the Mother Plant will be utilized to produce new plants, or “Progenies”, which will be harvested at certain stages of the Progenies’ lifecycle. Parties agree that portions of these Progenies harvested may be schedule I controlled substances or may be non-controlled substances (i.e. meeting the statutory definition of hemp, see 7 U.S.C. § 1639o; 21 C.F.R. § 1308.11(d)(31)(ii)). While all harvested material that is classified as a schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act will be subject to the terms of this MOA, non-controlled substances derived from these plants will not be subject to the terms of this MOA.
