VANCOUVER, BC / August 17, 2020 / Thoughtful Brands Inc. (CSE:TBI)(FWB:1WZ1:GR)(OTCQB:PEMTF) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into letters of intent (collectively, the “Letters of Intent“), each dated August 17, 2020, with Golden Path LLC (“Golden Path“) and Wild Mariposa LLC (“Wild Mariposa“), pursuant to which it proposes to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests in both companies. Golden Path and Wild Mariposa are arms-length privately held companies involved in the online marketing and distribution of consumer health products.
Golden Path and Wild Mariposa are direct-to-consumer eCommerce brands selling a range of natural health products, including nutraceutical and hemp-based CBD products within the United States. Each product is carefully crafted based on market demand and product quality. Every product manufactured is third-party tested for purity and manufactured in the United States in GMP certified facilities. Both brands are current clients of Unified Funding, LLC which is contracted to perform a number of eCommerce business operations.
“We are excited to look at the acquisition of these two established natural health brands as a further step in our eCommerce expansion in North America. Both brands possess product lines that are complimentary to Nature’s Exclusive and bring a large existing customer base along with nutraceutical product formulations and manufacturing relationships. Our timing is very strategic to acquire these brands as we near the closing of the Unified Funding asset acquisition, which will manage all go forward eCommerce operations for Thoughtful Brands”, stated Ryan Hoggan, CEO of the Company.
The Letters of Intent contemplate that the Company would acquire Golden Path, and Wild Mariposa, in consideration for the issuance of 11,544,400 common shares and 15,055,600 common shares (collectively, the “Consideration Shares“), respectively. The Consideration Shares will be issued to the existing members of Golden Path, and Wild Mariposa, at a deemed price of Cdn$0.195 per share.
The Company is at arms-length from each of Golden Path, Wild Mariposa and their respective members. The transactions contemplated by the Letters of Intent do not constitute a fundamental change for the company, nor are they expected to result in a change of control of the Company, within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The transactions are contingent upon each other, and the Company does not intend to proceed with the transactions unless both can be completed concurrently. Upon completion of the transactions, an administrative fee of 266,000 common shares of the Company will be owing to a consultant who assisted with the transactions.
The transactions remain subject to a number of conditions, including completion of due diligence, receipt of any required regulatory approval and the negotiation of definitive documentation, which is expected to include warranties, representations, covenants, terms and conditions which are customary and consistent with industry standards for transactions of this nature. The transactions cannot be completed until these conditions have been satisfied.
