VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire - November 26, 2019 - AREV BRANDS INTERNATIONAL LTD. (CNSX:AREV.CN) (OTC:AREVF) (“AREV Brands”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter Agreement with Absolem, the terms and conditions of a proposed business collaboration (the “Transaction”) between Absolem Health Corp (“Absolem”) and Arev Brands International Ltd. (“Arev”).

 

The Transaction involves two stages. During the first stage (“Stage 1”), Absolem will make the cash and share payments to Arev described below, and Arev will undertake the development work described below. In the second stage (“Stage 2”), informed in part by the results of the development work undertaken by Arev in Stage 1, Absolem and Arev will form a joint venture to develop, produce and sell mushroom extracts and mushroom-based products. Each of Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Transaction is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals. The Parties intend to replace the Letter Agreement with a definitive agreement (a “Definitive Agreement”).

 

Absolem will pay $100,000 to Arev, of which $20,000 will be paid in cash (the “Cash Payment”), and $80,000 will be paid by the issuance to Arev of common shares of Absolem at a price of $0.075 per share (the “Payment Shares”). Subject to AREV’s satisfaction of due diligence under subsection 1(a), Arev agrees forthwith to apply the Cash Payment to the purchase of specific additional extraction equipment, particulars of which have been provided to Absolem prior to the date of this Letter Agreement (the “New Equipment”). The estimated purchase price of the New Equipment is US $40,000. Arev will pay the difference between the Cash Payment and the purchase price of the New Equipment. The New Equipment will be owned by Arev. In consultation with Absolem, Arev will conduct research and will develop methods for deriving extracts from mushrooms utilizing the New Equipment and other extraction equipment which it owns (the “Extraction Methods Research”), which research shall not involve any prohibited activities unless official authorization in writing has been granted to Arev for such prohibited activities under Part J of the Canada Food and Drug Regulations. Arev shall not perform nor allow on its premises any illegal activities. Other than the supply of mushrooms, which will be provided by Absolem at Absolem’s expense, the cost of the Extraction Methods Research shall be borne by Arev, but shall not exceed $100,000. All intellectual property generated through the Extraction Methods Research which relates to mushroom extraction methods will vest in Absolem, and all other intellectual property shall vest in Arev, which intellectual property shall include any scientific information related to organic chemistry extraction technologies. The Parties will make their reasonable best efforts to do all things required from each of them to complete the Extraction Methods Research no later than April 30, 2020.

 

In (Stage 2), following completion of the Extraction Methods Research, (Stage1) at Absolem’s option, Absolem and Arev may form a joint venture for the production, development and sale of mushroom extracts and mushroom products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement, each of the Parties has agreed to negotiate with the other Party in good faith to conclude and execute the Definitive Agreement as soon as reasonably practical following the execution of this Letter Agreement.

  

Michael Withrow, CEO of AREV., commented: “We are honoured to have been selected to be the extraction company of choice by Absolem. The team at Absolem has identified the next big trend in natural medicines and we are delighted to be part of this innovation. This collaboration will lead to another line of branded ingredients and formulations produced by AREV and build on our revenue stream.”

Ken Kuiper, CEO of Absolem, commented: “We are excited about the global growing interest in functional mushrooms and intend to become leaders in commercial extraction. We believe with AREVs expertise in extractions we will be successfully in doing so.”

 

Further details regarding the Letter Agreement will be provided as soon as all terms of the Agreement have been finalized between AREV Brands and Absolem. This transaction is subject to the approval of the CSE.
