VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (BABY) (BABYF) (0YL.F) (“Else” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that its innovative Ready-To-Drink (RTD) Kids’ Nutritional Shakes are expected on the shelves of a leading retail pharmacy chain with locations across Western Canada during the first quarter of 2024. This early and note-worthy listing expands Else’s penetration within the Canadian market and demonstrates the brand’s growing appeal among consumers.
This regional retail leader, known for its extensive reach in British Columbia and Alberta, already carries a vast range of Else Nutrition products and now offers an ideal platform for Else’s nutritious RTD products. The listing accentuates the shared objective of both Else and the retailer in delivering quality, wholesome products to Canadian families. With 79 locations across Western Canada, this retail partner’s strategic reach makes Else’s RTD Kids’ Nutritional Shakes in Chocolate and Vanilla immediately accessible in a core region and marks a key milestone in making plant-based nutrition more accessible to Canadian households.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with a powerhouse retail chain that aligns with our vision of providing families with high-quality, nutritious, and sustainable options. This collaboration significantly propels our mission of making plant-based nutrition readily available to a broader Canadian audience,” said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO and Co-Founder of Else Nutrition.
The Company also announces that it has agreed to amend the exercise price and expiry date of an aggregate of 2,857,142 common share purchase warrants of the Company. The warrants were originally issued on June 29, 2022, pursuant to an offering of units of the Company. Each warrant may be exercised to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $1.25 per share until June 29, 2027. Pursuant to the amendment, the warrants may be exercised at $0.485 per share until November 21, 2028.
