Lifeist Wellness Inc. (“Lifeist” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
LFST) (FRANKFURT: M5B) (OTCMKTS: LFSWF), a health-tech
company that leverages advancements in science and technology to
build breakthrough ventures that transform human wellness, is
pleased to announce that each of the Company and CannMart Inc.
(“CannMart”), the Company’s wholly owned Ontario subsidiary, has
entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) and a
share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) each dated June 25, 2024 with
Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH, hereinafter
“SSC”), an arm’s length party, for SSC to provide operational
support services to CannMart pending SSC’s acquisition of CannMart
pursuant to the SPA. CannMart operates a B2B wholesale distribution
business facilitating recreational cannabis sales to Canadian
provincial government control boards.
SSC is a leading Canadian cannabis company which
has successfully implemented innovative systems and operational
methodologies resulting in six straight quarters of positive EBITDA
and positive net income in Q1 2024. Lifeist shareholders are set to
immediately benefit by having SSC support the operations of
CannMart, deploying SSC's expertise from its existing operations,
while enjoying a fee structure which ensures a minimum net revenue
amount to be retained by CannMart each month. This arrangement will
allow Lifeist to immediately enjoy positive cash flow from the
CannMart asset while SSC supports CannMart in its day-to-day
operations. Lifeist will continue to enjoy these benefits
throughout the period until which the sale of the shares of
CannMart contemplated by the SPA is completed (the “Share Sale
Transaction”).
“We have been deeply impressed by Simply
Solventless’ ability to operate profitably in an otherwise
extremely challenging commercial landscape, leveraging
sophisticated cost control and sales management systems across
their business units,” said Meni Morim, CEO of Lifeist. “This
agreement secures that same industry leading expertise to support
CannMart, while achieving further economies of scale and improved
reach that will make the resulting enterprise greater than the sum
of its parts. We are pleased to join forces with one of the only
Canadian public cannabis companies that has proven capable of
operating profitably. These agreements represent the best path
forward for Lifeist shareholders, with new operational expertise
for CannMart and exposure to Simply Solventless through units at a
favorable valuation, providing upside as the combined entity
continues to grow.”
Effective immediately and throughout the term of
the Services Agreement:
1. SSC will provide support services to CannMart
and will be responsible to fund all expenses of said operations.2.
Lifeist will pay to SSC a monthly services fee which is the lesser
of: (i) 90% of CannMart’s net revenue; and (ii) CannMart’s net
revenue less C$100,000.
Simultaneously with the execution of the
Services Agreement, Lifeist entered into the SPA with SSC to sell
all the issued and outstanding shares of CannMart to SSC on the
following terms, subject to, among other things, shareholder and
TSXV approval and subject to certain adjustments to the total
purchase price as set forth in the SPA:
1. C$500,000 payable upon the closing date.2.
C$1,500,000 plus applicable interest in a VTB loan, subject to
adjustments as set forth in the share purchase agreement.3.
C$500,000 satisfied by the issuance of units, comprised of one
common share and one-half purchase warrant to purchase one common
share of SSC. 4. SSC shall pay Lifeist 100% of the net revenue
generated by the sale of 50% of existing inventory (presently
estimated at C$1,000,000 value), separate and in addition to any
other fees.5. An earnout bonus of 20% of any revenue above
C$3,000,000 per quarter over the first 12 months.
For the purposes of section 301 of the Business
Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”) the Share Sale
Transaction constitutes the sale of the majority of the Company’s
undertaking and accordingly requires the approval of 2/3 of the
shareholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon in order to
complete such sale. In addition to obtaining shareholder approval,
the closing of the Share Sale Transaction is subject to, among
other things, the satisfaction of all regulatory requirements and
the fulfilment of certain other conditions, including the approval
of the Share Sale Transaction by the TSXV. The Company intends to
call the requisite meeting of shareholders as soon as practicable
to obtain the required shareholder approval (the “Meeting”) and
will be filing and posting its management information circular (the
“Circular”) for the Meeting on SEDAR+ and its website in due course
which will further describe the Share Sale Transaction,
Shareholders are urged to review the Circular, once available, for
additional details of the SPA and the Share Sale Transaction.

principal terms of the Share Sale Transaction and the SPA, as well
