Blackhawk Resource Corp. has entered into a letter of intent dated Jan. 3, 2020, to review a potential acquisition of all of the outstanding share capital of Spaced Food Inc., a privately held, arm’s-length party. Subject to completion of due diligence, Blackhawk expects to sign a definitive agreement to acquire Spaced Food in the next 30 days. 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.
“Spaced Food also has a unique and proprietary technology that solves the problems with current cannabis edibles. Spaced Food is shelf stable and requires no refrigeration. This intellectual property can be applied to almost anything. Current products range from cheesecake to ice cream and even cannabis-infused fruits and berries. The team at Spaced Food is well rooted in the cannabis industry and are dedicated to ensuring its rapid growth and success with Blackhawk. We look forward to positioning Spaced Food as a market leader in the ever-growing market in California and pushing east from there. As an investment issuer, Blackhawk is in a unique position to take advantage and make investments in numerous business that we feel will prove very profitable for shareholders, and we plan to take full advantage of it over the coming months,” commented Frederick Pels, chief executive officer of Blackhawk.
“Spaced Food’s mission is to become North America’s leader in high-quality, science- and technology-based cannabis edibles,” commented Mike Chilibeck, chief executive officer of Spaced Food. “We are excited to join the Blackhawk family, and we are looking forward to launching Spaced Food and shareholder value into orbit with a unique, out-of-this-world product.”
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 Spaced Food’s 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 United States. Currently, Blackhawk holds interests in Noble Line Inc., a United States-based on-line cannabidiol retailer, and a number of Canadian-based retail cannabis licence applicants.
In consideration for the acquisition of all of the outstanding share capital of Spaced Food, Blackhawk intends to issue common shares with a value of $500,000 to the existing shareholders of Spaced Food. The shares will be issuable to the shareholders of Spaced Food upon the first commercial sale of products manufactured at a facility being developed by Spaced Food in Shasta Lake, Calif. 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 immediately to such a commercial sale.
Readers are cautioned that completion of the acquisition of Spaced Foods remains subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to: satisfactory completion of due diligence; negotiation of definitive agreements in respect of the transaction; and receipt of any required regulatory approvals. The acquisition cannot be completed until these conditions are satisfied, and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed at all.
