Terms of the Transaction:
SILO shall hold an annual and general special shareholders meeting to obtain approval for the acquisition of NUGL/Kaya, to elect a new board that would result in a change of control of the resulting issuer, and for a potential share consolidation and potential name change.
SILO will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NUGL in exchange for 2,010,000,000 shares from treasury (all shares herein are pre-consolidation), for a purchase price of CAD $40,200,000.00.
NUGL stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities will be adjusted to receive SILO Common Shares on an economically equivalent basis.
Silo Wellness will issue common shares in a best-efforts private placement financing to raise gross proceeds of CAD $250,000.00 to $2M at 2 cents per share to validate the purchase price and cover costs to close the transaction, as well as provide additional capital for strategic growth post-merger.
Finder's fee of 3% of the transaction shall be paid to NUGL board member Benjamin Kaplan and 3% to Silo CEO Mike Arnold for a total of 64,934,437 shares issued each.
The final structure of the Transaction is subject to receipt of final tax, corporate, and securities law advice and securities regulatory and CSE approval for both SILO and NUGL.
The combined market cap of the two companies at the CAD $0.02/share valuation would be CAD $43,289,624.60. NUGL shares are valued at CAD $0.0461 (USD $0.0344). Silo shares are valued at CAD $0.02. The effective time of the transaction will result in the listing of the shares of the combined company on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The CSE is likely to keep the stock halted until such shareholder decision due to the size of the transaction, the change of control, and the definition of fundamental change under the rules.
Audited financial information about NUGL Inc. will be provided to shareholders prior to the special shareholders meeting to vote on this acquisition. This information will also be included in the press release announcing the signing of the definitive agreement.

Silo Wellness Inc. (CSE: SILO) (OTCQB: SILFF) (FSE: 3K7A) ("Silo" or "the Company"), a pioneer in the psychedelic and wellness space, and NUGL Inc. (OTC Pink: NUGL), a multifaceted Jamaican cannabis and psychedelics lifestyle company, are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership through Kaya Group to bring a comprehensive range of psychedelic wellness experiences and retreats in Jamaica. This partnership, executed August 2, 2023, entails a significant transaction that underscores the strategic value of this collaboration.
Key Highlights of the Transaction
Under the terms of the agreement, Silo Wellness acquired 25,081,369 shares of NUGL in exchange for the issuance of 15,293,640 shares of Class A common stock in Silo in this arms-length transaction. In accordance with the agreement, both Silo Wellness and NUGL are bound by conditions that prohibit the transfer or sale of purchased shares for a minimum period of 12 months, unless the shares have been properly registered under the Securities Act or are exempt from registration. Pursuant to CSE Policy 6.2(5), the shares will be issued after five business days (see the Form 9 filed on the CSE website) with price protection at the 20-day VWAP of CAD$0.012. There is no finder's fee, and shareholder approval is not required due to the size of the transaction.
Enhanced Retreat Experiences and Market Presence
Silo Wellness intends to incorporate Kaya's psilocybin offerings to provide holistic and diversified experiences at their wellness retreats, enabling participants to explore alternative healing and mental health treatments that harness the potential synergies between cannabis and psilocybin.
In light of the recent financial successes of NUGL/Kaya, with top-line revenue hitting $2.2M USD in 2022 ($1.5M gross profit; $2.7M net loss), an increase in revenue from $1.8M USD in 2021, Silo Wellness' partnership with NUGL/Kaya Group brings even more opportunity for expansion and solidifies the company's presence in Jamaica, a region championing the burgeoning psychedelics industry. With the market projected to be worth $5.7 billion globally by 2027 (per the "Psychedelic Drugs: Global Market Outlook"), Silo Wellness attempts to strategically place itself for substantial growth.
Mike Arnold, founder and CEO of Silo Wellness and an Oregon attorney, asserts, "Our collaboration with Kaya is a monumental stride in realizing our vision to offer holistic treatments and broaden our international footprint. We're committed to providing transformative plant medicine wellness experiences."
Echoing this sentiment, Bali Vaswani, CEO of NUGL and Founder of Kaya, adds, "Jamaica is a perfect market for psilocybin offerings, and together with Silo Wellness, we will contribute to the evolving conversation around the potential benefits of these natural compounds."
Other Corporate Updates
The Company is excited to announce the appointment of Michael Hartman as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr. Hartman developed the intellectual property portfolio that helped launch Silo in 2018 and is a major shareholder and current board member.
In other corporate developments, Silo Wellness has terminated the previously announced transaction with BitGift (OTC Pink: MONI) due to a lack of responses to repeated attempts to engage and conduct due diligence.

Via NewMediaWire Moon Equity Holdings Corp. ("MONI" or "the Company") (OTC: MONI) has signed a binding letter of intent ("LOI") to divest its BitGift asset to Silo Wellness Inc. (CSE: SILO) (OTCQB: SILFF) (FSE: 3K7A), an Oregon-based psychedelics company, for a sum up to CAD$500,000. At closing, MONI plans to allocate the Silo shares as a dividend to MONI existing shareholders, based on a record date to be determined by FINRA.
Moon Equity Holdings CEO, Frank Ottaviani, stated, "We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with Silo Wellness, and we are looking forward to integrating the BitGift platform into Oregon's psilocybin market and beyond. This technology will provide significant value to Silo and its clients. This transaction is timely for MONI as we've been working to finalize our previously announced acquisition of MONI by an aviation company."
BitGift®, recently signed a Partnership Agreement with MoonPay. BitGift's platform is designed to make the crypto experience more accessible and provide users with greater flexibility. Catering to both beginners and experienced users, the platform enables users to be able to provide its customers the use of Visa Debit Cards, as well as Onramp and Offramp services. Existing BitGift® users have already been able to open a cryptocurrency wallet to buy, store, send, or receive a crypto gift; now, with the help of MoonPay, BitGift® users will be able to sell their crypto, convert their crypto into cash, and send/transfer funds to a bank account of their choice.
This new partnership with MoonPay comes with great quality and magnitude. In November 2021, MoonPay completed a round of Series A funding in the amount of $555 million. This brought the valuation of MoonPay to $3.4 billion, which in turn placed MoonPay as the largest and highest-valued Series A for any bootstrapped crypto company having over five million customers. MoonPay ensures that compliance with their over 5 million customers will never be an issue as it provides top notch KYC and onboarding services.
https://www.moonpay.com/about-us
When this transaction is completed, Silo Wellness will utilize the platform as a solution for addressing the challenges faced by licensed psilocybin operators in Oregon when complying with banking and anti-money laundering regulations. To ensure adherence to these laws, Silo Wellness and BitGift plan to collaborate with other providers and industry experts to establish and implement strong Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures, encompassing identity verification, transaction monitoring, risk assessment, and regulatory reporting.
According to the terms, MONI would transfer the BitGift asset to Silo Wellness in exchange for 5,050,505 Common Shares of Silo (currently valued at CAD$100,000 as per the 20-day VWAP). Additional consideration of up to CAD$400,000 would be payable upon reaching specific revenue milestones. The shares would be subject to a 6-month contractual hold. We plan on executing a definitive agreement within the next 30 days.
When this transaction is completed, MONI will distribute the Silo shares as a dividend to its shareholders, introducing approximately 2,000 new US-based shareholders to the Oregon psilocybin market.
Mike Arnold, CEO of Silo Wellness, commented, "We see BitGift as a catalyst to swiftly move Oregon psilocybin away from a cash-only system. We're enthusiastic about further exploring this opportunity and collaborating with MONI to finalize the transaction terms. As per the agreement, MONI would distribute the Silo shares as a dividend to its shareholders. We will be welcoming up to 2,000 new US-based shareholders into the Silo family and sharing our revenue strategy for psilocybin programming in Oregon and Jamaica. We encourage all our new shareholders to contact us through social media and investor relations to inquire about shareholder discounts for Oregon and Jamaica psilocybin retreats.
About Moon Equity Holdings Corp.
MONI was created with a focus on acquiring companies in Fintech. MONI recently acquired the BitGift platform, which is focused on Crypto, Blockchain Technology, and DeFi (Decentralized Finance). Its goal is to offer services and products globally to capture total market share and increase company stock value for its shareholders.

Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEEL ) ("Seelos" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders and rare diseases, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 1-for-16 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, to be effective as of 12: 01 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday September 27, 2024.
The Company's common stock, par value $0.001 , will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on Friday, September 27, 2024. Following the reverse stock split, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SEEL" with the new CUSIP number, 81577F 406. The reverse stock split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and was effectuated by the filing of a Certificate of Change with office of the Nevada Secretary of State.
At the effective time of the reverse split, every sixteen (16) issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be combined automatically into one (1) share of the Company's common stock without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 3,125,000 shares and the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged other than as a result of the rounding of fractional shares. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants and stock options, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices thereof and under the Company's equity incentive plans, as applicable.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 9.2 million to approximately 581 thousand.
