GRANTS, N.M., July 1, 2022 - Bright Green Corporation (Nasdaq: BGXX) (“Bright Green” or “the Company”), one of the very few companies selected by the U.S. government to grow, manufacture, and sell, legally under federal and state laws, cannabis and cannabis-related products for research, pharmaceutical applications and affiliated export, today announced that Ed Robinson is stepping down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and as a member of the Board of Directors (Board), to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Robinson will remain with the Company as a Capital Markets Advisor through 2023.

The Board has initiated a comprehensive search to identify a permanent CEO. Until a successor is named, the Board has appointed Chairman of the Board, Terry Rafih, as Interim CEO.

“We thank Ed for his dedication and work to guide Bright Green through an important period of growth.
