TACOMA, WA / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2021 / IONIC BRANDS CORP. (CSE:IONC)(OTC PINK:IONKF)(FRA:1B3) (“IONIC BRANDS” or the “Company”), a regional manufacturer of innovative cannabis edibles and concentrate extract products, is pleased to announce that it has executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire assets of Peace, Love and Elixirs, LLC. dba The Extraction Artists (“EXA”), which includes three key licenses – manufacturing, edible license designation and a hemp processing license. EXA crafts high quality concentrates and isolates using pharmaceutical grade best practices to provide the cleanest, purist experience for the consumer. EXA has spent most of its operational history in servicing the retail market directly by providing white labelling services to some of the biggest retail chains in the Oregon market.
The Company entered into an LOI to acquire EXA on December 18, 2020. Under the terms of the LOI, the companies will immediately move to a Definitive Agreement and have targeted a closing date of mid-February 2021.
Under the terms of the LOI, the Company will pay USD $600,000 to EXA at closing. Additional payment of cash and stock will be determined based on definitive documentation and payable at closing of the transaction.
Ionic Brands Chairman and CEO John P. Gorst commented, “The purchase of EXA is a pivotal and exciting step for Ionic Brands, as we will now be able to control our destiny in the still emerging market of Oregon. Additionally, owning multiple licenses and operating out of the EXA facility will allow Ionic Brands to add our popular and premium consumables brand ZOOTS to the existing portfolio of products currently offered in Oregon.”
Frank Gill, CEO of EXA was quoted; “Ionic Brands has been a pleasure to work with. We built this business with blood, sweat and tears and look forward to working with them to close a mutually beneficial transaction that will allow Ionic Brands to continue and prosper in the Oregon Market. I will do everything I can do to make this transition smooth and successful.” EXA is confident in Ionic Brands and believes they will continue where EXA leaves off.
