AquaBounty Technologies Engages MZ Group to Lead Investor Relations and Shareholder Communication Program

MAYNARD, Mass., May 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQB) (“AquaBounty” or the “Company”), a land-based aquaculture company utilizing technology to enhance productivity and sustainability, has engaged investor relations specialists MZ Group (MZ) to expand its comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program.

MZ Group will work closely with the management of AquaBounty to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company’s visibility throughout the investment community. AquaBounty’s investor relations campaign will highlight its disruptive and proprietary technology in the farmed salmon industry, as well the Company’s imminent commercial harvests of both conventional Atlantic salmon in June 2020 and AquAdvantage salmon (AAS) in the fourth quarter of 2020.

MZ Group has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts and private investors. The firm maintains offices worldwide, including New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego, Aliso Viejo, Austin, Taipei and São Paulo. Additionally, MZ Group was recently ranked the No. 1 consultancy in Latin America and No. 7 in the world in business communication.

Greg Falesnik, Managing Director of MZ North America, will advise AquaBounty in all facets of corporate financial communications, including the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences in key cities worldwide and building brand awareness across all financial and media outlets.

Mr. Falesnik commented: “As the company with the first and only genetically engineered animal protein approved for human consumption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada, AquaBounty is moving forward in its mission to help feed the world using a more sustainable and efficient approach to high-quality, land based salmon farming. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits that AquAdvantage salmon provide, there are also significant economic benefits due to the salmon consuming less feed and growing faster, resulting in a 70% increase in throughput compared to farming conventional Atlantic salmon. We look forward to introducing AquaBounty’s disruptive story to the investment community, especially as they prepare for some major milestones on the horizon, including the first harvest of conventional Atlantic salmon beginning in June 2020 and the first harvest of AAS beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020.”
