ST. PETERSBURG, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2016 / Sylios Corp (OTC Pink: UNGS), a holding company with operations engaged in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, site specific real estate development, holdings in equities, corporate debt and alternative investments is pleased to announce that the Company will spin-off its wholly owned subsidiary, The Greater Cannabis Company, LLC to shareholders.

On December 16, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a corporate action to file a Notice of Conversion with the State of Florida for its subsidiary, The Greater Cannabis Company, LLC, which will convert the subsidiary from a limited liability company to a for profit corporation. The Subsidiary's name will change to The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. ("GCC"). In the newly filed Articles of Incorporation for the Subsidiary, it will designate 500 million shares for Common stock and 10 million shares for Preferred stock.

Shareholders of Sylios Corp, as of the close of business on January 20, 2017 (the "Record Date"), will receive 1 share of GCC common stock for every 500 shares of Sylios Corp common stock owned. The transaction will be treated as a stock dividend. The Company currently anticipates an Ex-Dividend Date (Ex-Date) of February 10, 2017. Both dates are subject to change. The Company will release information the first week of January 2017 with definitive dates and further information.

After the spin-off, the Company will retain a 19.99% interest in GCC, with 80.01% of the common shares of GCC distributed to Sylios common shareholders. The total number of common shares of GCC post spin-off will be approximately 27.5 million. The Company will release additional instructions prior to the Record Date.

GCC will undergo a two-year audit during the month of January and then file its initial registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be a fully reporting company. The Company plans on listing GCC on the OTCMarkets OTCQB market place. The Company anticipates shares of GCC to begin trading as a standalone entity during the 1st Quarter of 2017. A new corporate website for GCC will go "live" prior to the Record Date.

Post-split, GCC intends on filing a Registration Rights offering for its existing shareholders. The offering will give each shareholder the right to purchase additional units in GCC for a defined period of time. Shareholders will have the right to purchase additional units of GCC at a fixed price of $.25/unit for a total equity raise of $500,000.00. In the event the Rights Offering is fully subscribed, GCC will have 29.5 million common shares outstanding with a market capitalization of $7.4 million. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the rights offering to provide equity capital to support the continuing execution of the Company's growth strategy plans, acquisitions and general business development.
