TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Mimi's Rock Corp. ("Mimi's Rock" or "the Company") (TSXV: MIMI), an online dietary supplement and wellness business, is pleased to announce it has entered into binding agreements to acquire two additional businesses, namely All Natural Advice Ltd. ("All Natural") and Maritime Naturals Ltd. ("Maritime Naturals").  All Natural is the #1 Skin Care Seller on Amazon Canada for the past 4 years. Mimi's Rock will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of each of All Natural and Maritime Naturals for an aggregate purchase price of $9,636,000. The acquisition of these accretive businesses will fold in the #1 seller of skincare products on Amazon Canada, adding approximately $5.5 million of revenue and $1.6 million of EBITDA. Combined, these two companies delivered a 54% compound annual growth rate over the last five years, with no debt.

"We are very excited to add the All Natural and Maritime Naturals brands to our portfolio. These companies have a history of strong financial performance and will immediately open additional markets for us. The brand exposure and potential for cross-selling to existing customers will be a great benefit," says Mimi's Rock CEO, David Kohler. "Access to the premium organic and all-natural beauty segment is a great fit for our company and aligns with our wellness-seeking clientele."

The purchase price will be satisfied by (i) the payment, in aggregate, of approximately $5.5 million in cash, (ii) the issuance of common shares in the capital of Mimi's Rock valued at approximately $2.1 million, and (iii) the assumption of a $2 million vendor loan to be repaid within 12 months of closing. The cash portion of the purchase price is expected to be paid from a combination of cash on hand and additional borrowings under a modification of the Company's long term debt facilities.  Further details will be provided in a subsequent news release once determined. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the execution of definitive agreements and receipt of approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, the acquisitions are expected to close on or about October 15, 2019.
