Sire Bioscience Inc. announced today that it has signed an LOI to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fusion Nutrition Incorporated.

Sire Bioscience Inc. (CSE:SIRE, OTC:BLLXF, FSE:BR1B) (“SIRE” or the “Company”), a Health Canada hemp license holder, announced today that it has signed an LOI to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fusion Nutrition Incorporated (“FUSION”).

FUSION’S network of 800 points of distribution include Sport Chek, Popeye’s Supplements, GNC Canada, and Supplement King. The $50.84B ** USD sports nutrition industry continues to grow with an expected CAGR of 9.7% to 2025*. This growth is primarily driven by the expansion from traditional core consumers (bodybuilders and elite athletes) to mainstream consumers (recreational athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and overall health and wellness seekers).

Pursuant to the LOI, SIRE will acquire 100% of FUSION in consideration for the issuance of common shares of SIRE at a price per share price equal to the closing price of SIRE’s shares on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, but in any event no less than $0.05 per share, for an aggregate transaction value of between $400,000 to $700,000.

With FUSION’s experience in the category, SIRE believes that it will be uniquely positioned to launch more relevant and highly customized products at a faster pace.

According to FUSION President, Ryan Herniman, the union of the CBD and sports nutrition industries is a natural fit. CBD, the non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, may have benefits in the reduction of pain and inflammation post-exercise, which may in turn aid in recovery and results.

“We’ve been studying the applications of cannabinoids for human performance for years and have always felt CBD would be a perfect pairing with our products,” explains Herniman. “With the advent of new regulations, this acquisition makes sense for both parties. SIRE has a team of experts in place to execute at a high level and we are thrilled to be a part of the vision.”
