Blackhawk Resource Corp. has entered into a letter of intent, effective Jan. 30, 2020, pursuant to which the corporation proposes to acquire a 51-per-cent equity interest in NuWave Foods Inc., a privately held arm’s-length party. Blackhawk views an investment in NuWave as an opportunity for its shareholders to further expand into non-cannabis markets.
It is presently contemplated that the corporation would issue 12 million common shares, at a deemed price of five cents per share, to acquire a 51-per-cent interest in NuWave. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to completion of due diligence and the negotiation of definitive documentation. The company will provide a further update regarding the acquisition once definitive document has been finalized.
“NuWave has a large-scale commercial kitchen, shared with one of the largest donut factories in North America, Special D Baking. Special D has successfully been distributing baked goods on a huge scale to grocery store chains across Canada and the USA, and we look forward to developing a closer relationship with the company in the future. NuWave expects to have a shelf-stable product with no preservatives, solving a long-time issue and expanding on a product that can now be enjoyed by everyone and anyone. I look forward to innovating with the team at NuWave and sharing more information with our shareholders once we complete our definitive agreement,” commented Frederick Pels, chief executive officer of the corporation.
“We are excited about working with Blackhawk,” says Scott Manley, chief executive officer of NuWave Foods. “We now have the ability to make a product that is shelf stable without compromising on our quality. We work directly with some of the largest grocery chains in North America and represent a brand that has been around for 41 years in Special D Baking. Special D prides itself on having the highest-quality baked goods on the market and has a long-standing market reputation. I look forward to now being able to improve on that with the help of Blackhawk.”
The interest in NuWave will form part of Blackhawk’s existing portfolio of investments. NuWave’s existing management will retain responsibility for overseeing and applying Blackhawk’s intellectual property to day-to-day operations, with Blackhawk assuming overall control of the business. NuWave will leverage contacts previously established by its management team to improve and expand its product in Canada and the United States. Currently, Blackhawk holds interests in Noble Line Inc., a U.S. based on-line cannabidiol retailer, and a number of Canadian based retail cannabis licence applicants.
