VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Levitee Labs Inc. (CSE: LVT) (OTC: LVTTF) (FSE: 7H7) (the “Company” or “Levitee”), an integrative wellness company with a diversified portfolio of healthcare and wellness assets, has signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in a company owning and operating a chain of specialty addiction pharmacies located throughout the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada.

The chain of pharmacies presently operates in 3 locations throughout the lower mainland, which will be brought under the Levitee Pharmacies umbrella subsequent to the closing of the acquisition.

The acquisition price of $4.0 million is based upon approximately 4.7x trailing 6 months annualized EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). Levitee Labs will pay $2.0 million in cash and $1.2 million in shares of Levitee Labs stock at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”). The shares have selling restrictions with 25% being released at 4, 6, 8, and 10 months following closing. The remaining $0.8 million will be paid 12 months after the Closing and is structured to incentivize a smooth transition in ownership. This LOI is non-binding and remains subject to the drafting of definitive agreements, approval from Levitee Labs’ board, and regulatory body approvals, and confirmatory due diligence.

“This acquisition is our first move into our home province of British Columbia, a province where the opioid epidemic and addiction has been a major visible problem for decades,” said Ken Osborne, Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at Levitee Labs. “Our team is excited to make a positive impact by combating this problem so close to home.”

“We have grown tremendously since closing multiple acquisitions in July that positioned us with a formidable footprint of clinics and pharmacies in Alberta,” said Pouya Farmand, Chief Executive Officer at Levitee Labs. “This is our second largest acquisition to date and provides us a solid foundation to build upon in British Columbia, as we establish the Levitee Labs name as a dominant player in treating patients suffering from addiction and substance use disorder throughout Western Canada. Our M&A team remains active in identifying other opportunities as we continue building momentum and value into the new year.”

Levitee expects to fund this acquisition using current cash reserves.
