Planet 13 Receives OMMU Approval for Florida BHO Extraction Facility

LAS VEGAS, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis company, today announced that its Florida operations have received approval from the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use for its BHO extraction facility. The approval completes the final major infrastructure investment in Planet 13 Florida's operational buildout and enables the Company to serve Florida's full concentrate category for the first time.

"Receiving OMMU approval and bringing this facility online is a significant milestone in our Florida repositioning and allows us to compete in these important product categories," said Robert Groesbeck, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of Planet 13 Holdings. "We've invested meaningfully in cultivation quality, post-harvest processing, and now extraction infrastructure. With this facility operational, we're positioned to serve the full Florida concentrate category for the first time. This is the kind of structural improvement that drives margin expansion and gives our patients a complete product selection."

The approximately 3,465-square-foot purpose-built laboratory supports production of six BHO concentrate formats: Badder, Shatter, Crumble, Sugar, Sauce, and Diamonds, as well as Live Resin Disposable and C-Cell vaporizer cartridges. Products will be available at Planet 13 Florida dispensary locations in the coming months as products are approved. According to Headset market data, Florida's concentrate segment generated approximately $125 million in retail sales¹, a category in which Planet 13 Florida's participation was previously limited.
