Lumiera Announces Completion of the Sales of Its Non-Core Asset Celext07
MONTREAL, Jan. 29, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Lumiera Health Inc. (TSXV: NHP) (the "Company" or "Lumiera "), is pleased to announce that effective on January 1st, 2020, it has completed its previously announced sale of its non-core asset Celext07 to BioSun Products Inc. ("Biosun") for a cash consideration of $350,000 received at closing yesterday (the "Transaction"). As part of the Transaction, Lumiera also secured a right of first consideration on any products that could be commercialized, on a worldwide basis, as a natural health product.
The Governance Committee of the Board of Lumiera, which is composed exclusively of the three independent directors, has approved the Transaction unanimously. In addition, and as part of the Governance Committee's deliberations with respect to the Transaction, the committee consulted with its independent legal and financial advisors, including Blain, Joyal, Charbonneau, S.E.N.C.R.L. ("BJC"). BJC assisted in, among other things, preparing a valuation range for the Celext07 assets forming part of the Transaction.
"We are pleased to have this transaction completed and closed, as it enables Lumiera to focus all efforts on our consumer business in the natural health industry while improving our balance sheet by monetizing this asset. Celext07 was a non-core asset for Lumiera as it is primarily an agriculture-based product," commented Kevin Roland, Chief Executive Officer of Lumiera.
Biosun is a company controlled by Messrs. Robert Brouillette and André Rancourt, who are shareholders of Lumiera, each holding, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the common shares of Lumiera. As such, the Proposed Transaction may be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61–101 –Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61–101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61–101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61–101 as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Proposed Transaction, insofar as it involves the related parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
