From the total consideration amount, the buyer of ARCpoint’s interest in Achieve will deduct US$120,000 in recognition of net amounts owing between the two parties and make a total cash payment of US$360,000 to ARCpoint. Achieve is a South Carolina company that operates under the brand name Vertical Treatment Centers and provides drug and alcohol addiction treatment services.

ARCpoint President and CEO John Constantine, commented, “The sale of this non-core asset further streamlines our operations and will provide us with working capital funds to advance technology platform integration work so that we may begin on-boarding the CRESSO Brands franchisee locations not currently on our MyARCpointLabs technology platform.”

On Aug. 20, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a transaction with Any Lab Test Now (“ALTN”) to bring together the franchise operations of both ALTN and ARCpoint into a new joint venture company, CRESSO Brands LLC. ALTN, based in Atlanta, Ga., was founded in 1992 and at the time of the Aug. 20, 2024 transaction, had more than 235 United States franchise locations providing direct access to clinical, DNA, and drug and alcohol lab testing services, as well as phlebotomy and other specimen collection services, through its retail storefront business model. When combined with the more than 135 ARCpoint franchise group locations, also at the time of the transaction, CRESSO became the largest franchise network of its kind in the United States. At the time of the CRESSO transaction, ALTN and ARCpoint also agreed to make ARCpoint's MyARCpointLabs technology platform the systems choice for CRESSO brand franchisees.

The Transaction is a Non-Arm's Length Transaction in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Transaction also constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
