Terra Tech Corp.: Discusses Merger & Acquisition Strategy, Corporate Objectives and Future Outlook.

IRVINE, Calif.-- Terra Tech Corp. (OTCBB: TRTC), a leader in sustainable agricultural products, releases shareholder update of their corporate objectives and details on their current M&A opportunities.

Terra Tech recently announced signing LOI’s to acquire two companies, GroRite Garden Centers and NB plants/ Edible Garden brand. Upon a successful merger these two acquisitions will push annual revenue for Terra Tech to over $10 million. Terra Tech has stated in the past that an aggressive M&A strategy is instrumental in accelerating growth for the company.

The company is currently working towards definitive documents to close the transaction and determined it was important to make investors aware of the progress and details. The Vande Vrede family, who has a rich history in Dutch farming techniques, owns both GroRite and NB Plants. Terra Tech has begun due diligence and can report that each company is both net income and cash flow positive.

Company CEO Derek Peterson stated, “Dealing with one family to close two large transactions for Terra Tech has made negotiations very easy. This is a significant step for our company as Terra Tech continues to mature. Our focus is to integrate companies that have positive earnings and that are symbiotic to our core business.”

The company is focused on closing these transactions quickly and launching their expansion plans for both entities. NB Plants is currently expanding their footprint into major retailers throughout the US by focusing on strategic relationships in Florida, a $1.7 billion market as well as the Midwest. In addition they intend on increasing the penetration they currently have with Shoprite, Food Emporium and the other 12,000 major grocery chains in the North East market. GroRite is currently looking at other locations throughout the US to expand its retail footprint.

Terra Tech recently placed a deposit on 5 acres of greenhouse structure to be erected at NB Plants in New Jersey. As phase one, NB Plants plans to construct 1.5 acres immediately to fulfill the demand of a new contract for close to $1 Million in additional product sales. The construction of the additional 3.5 acres is planned over the following 24 months. Each acre of greenhouse has the ability to produce close to $2 million of produce annually.

“Integrating with a public company is a powerful move for our business and our brands”, claims Ken Vande Vrede, CEO of GroRite Garden Centers. “We have an aggressive expansion plan and this is a platform for us to launch it from. We look forward to closing the deal as quickly as possible.”

Both acquisitions are anticipated to be all stock transactions and key executives have agreed to both expire and utilize their preferred shares to compensate the farm for consideration of the purchase. The transaction is not expected to increase the number of shares issued and outstanding making the acquisition accretive for their current shareholders. Management has decided to work on closing documents for both companies simultaneously with an anticipated signing date of February 25th. The company is also in the process of strengthening its board of directors and advisory board to help guide and shape the companies future. Terra Tech intends to keep shareholders informed of the progress as they continue to close this transaction.
