Blackhawk Resource Corp. has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement dated Jan. 23, 2020, to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Spaced Food Inc., a privately held arm’s-length party. Blackhawk views an investment in Spaced Food as an exceptional opportunity for its shareholders to further be a part of the fast-growing U.S. cannabis market and looks forward to updating its shareholders with the company’s growth plans over the coming months.

“Acquiring a unique, innovative product and great brand with Spaced Food is a game changer. The solutions that the intellectual property can bring are not only revolutionary for the cannabis space but will have a great impact on non-cannabis use as well. Utilizing the distributions channels we currently have, we expect to generate strong sales of Spaced Food products in the future. This is a big win for Blackhawk and I cannot wait to get to work with the amazing team at Spaced Food,” commented Frederick Pels, chief executive officer of the company.

“The team at Spaced Food is thrilled to join Blackhawk and bring our futuristic product to market in 2020. Both customers and shareholders alike will be blown away by the most delicious edible this planet (and any other) has ever seen!” noted Michael Chilibeck, founder of Spaced Food.

The purchase price for the outstanding share capital of Spaced Food will be equivalent to the revenue generated by Spaced Food in the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021, and will be payable to the existing shareholder of Spaced Food, Mr. Chilibeck, on or before May 31, 2021, in common shares of Blackhawk. The number of common shares issuable will be determined based upon the volume-weighted average closing price of the shares of Blackhawk on the Canadian Securities Exchange in the 20 trading days immediately prior to March 31, 2021, and will not exceed 10 million common shares.

Following completion of the acquisition, Spaced Food will form part of Blackhawk’s existing portfolio of investments in the cannabis sector. Spaced Food’s existing management will retain responsibility for overseeing and applying their intellectual property to day-to-day operations, with Blackhawk assuming overall control of the business. Blackhawk will leverage contacts previously established by its management team to improve and expand Spaced Food’s product and client base in the U.S.

Currently Blackhawk holds interests in Noble Line Inc., a U.S.-based on-line cannabidiol retailer, and a number of Canadian-based retail cannabis licence applicants.
