Yooma Wellness Announces Pursuit of Dual-Listing on AQSE Growth Market in the UK and Concurrent Financing to Fund Three Accretive Acquisitions
Completion of reverse takeover transaction and acquisitions in Europe and the United States in the first quarter of 2021 set the stage for future growth, as Yooma announces it is pursuing a dual-listing on the AQSE Growth Market (UK), with a concurrent financing of up to £10,000,000 to fund three accretive acquisitionsTORONTO, May 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yooma Wellness Inc. ("Yooma") (CSE: YOOM), a Toronto-based vertically-integrated global wellness platform that develops and markets a portfolio of wellness brands, today announced that it is pursuing a dual-listing of its common shares on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market ("AQSE Growth Market") in London and, in connection with the dual-listing, intends to complete a concurrent financing of up to £10,000,000 to help fund three accretive acquisitions also announced today. “We believe that access to the London capital markets will significantly accelerate the growth of Yooma, and the company’s plan to build a global wellness platform,” commented Lorne Abony, Chairman of Yooma. “We have signed letters of intent with three strategic targets. In addition to strong revenue contribution, we have identified meaningful efficiency opportunities through vertical integration, and sales opportunities across the company’s various platforms.” Dual-Listing, Concurrent Financing and Acquisition Pipeline The AQSE Growth Market is a London-based multilateral trading facility for entrepreneurial companies seeking visibility and access to growth capital in Europe. Yooma has applied for the listing of a portion of its common shares on the AQSE Growth Market such that, on successful completion of the application process, its common shares will be dual-listed on both the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and the AQSE Growth Market. As the first significant step in its application process, Yooma has entered into a corporate adviser agreement with Peterhouse Capital Limited (“Peterhouse”), appointing Peterhouse to be the company’s corporate adviser in connection with the listing on the AQSE Growth Market in consideration for the payment of certain fees and expenses. Concurrently with the listing, Yooma intends to complete an equity financing of up to £10,000,000 (the “Financing”) at a price to be determined in the context of the market. Yooma has engaged Crystal Capital Partners LLP to provide corporate finance and investor introduction services on behalf of the company. The use of proceeds for the Financing will be to fund the cash portion of the proposed acquisitions in the wellness space. The total purchase price for the three acquisition targets is approximately US$30 million, payable in a combination of US$14.5 million cash on closing, deferred cash consideration, share consideration and the assumption of debt. The letters of intent for the three acquisitions are non-binding and the acquisitions will be subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the satisfaction of conditions precedent. There can be no assurance at this time that the acquisitions will be completed, or that they will be completed on the terms outlined above. As such, trading in Yooma securities in anticipation of these acquisitions should be considered highly speculative. Interim Financial Statements Yooma also announced today that it has filed its interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 (the "Reporting Period").
