I own shares in both and building shares in KGKG on weakness.
Dont like the share set up in KGKG, but it has a product and committed real mgt and undervalued.
I bought it on its own terms - any VATE shares would be gravy.
I am not counting on a huge VATE payday from KGKG, each stands on its own. PLAD bought VATE for 200k for shares and cash. hard to say what this means in terms of shares - but we will see soon in coming filings.
Possible other cross ownership of restricted but still unclear.
In the short of it , both good co's with big prospects
