Solis Tek has acquired all of the outstanding interest in YLK Partners NV, LLC and plans to develop the 70,000 square foot Arizona Facility into one of the most technologically advanced cultivation and processing facilities in Arizona. Solis Tek has issued 500,000 warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share to Future Farm as consideration for the interest.
