The Parent Company Announces Effectiveness of Form 10 Registration Statement

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – TPCO Holding Corp. (“The Parent Company” or the “Company”) (NEO: GRAM.U) (OTCQX: GRAMF), today announced that its amended registration statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 9, 2021 became effective on October 8, 2021.
