PUR Life is a franchise business and has over 60 different areas franchises and individual spas, which together provide a revolutionary approach to alternative medicine, pain management and longevity-based solutions. The PUR Life concept includes ground-breaking technologies from around the world combined with unique protocols and treatments to offer an integrated and synergistic approach to health and healing. Panacea further plans to offer its products within the PUR Life treatment centers. The complete list of Assets to be transferred from PUR Life to the Company at Closing are as follows:

 

All Area Representative, all Single Unit Franchise Agreements currently in effect and all currently proposed franchise agreements. Any deposits in process will be transferred to the Buyer.

All agreements with vendors, team members or suppliers with the intent that those agreements may be renegotiated within a reasonable time.
All manuals, software and operating systems.
All forms and materials for franchisee support.
All equipment.
All accounts receivable.
Employees of PUR Life

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the APA, a newly formed subsidiary of Panacea would merge with and into PUR Life (the “Merger”) and PUR Life would become our new subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). Mr. Dan Olsen (“Mr. Olsen”), who founded the PUR Life franchise and owned 58.5% of PUR Life, will own 7% of the Subsidiary, while Panacea holds 93% ownership. Mr. Olsen will work closely with the management team of the Subsidiary for a reasonable time to offer his expertise in consulting and franchising to the Company for furthering the expansion of PUR Life nationwide.

 

Under the APA, Panacea would pay $180,000 to PUR Life on October 2, 2023 to be held in escrow until the PCOB audit requirements have been completed; and further $820,000 will be paid to PUR Life by November 10, 2023. Up to another $1.6 million would be due to be paid over the next four years, contingent upon successful collection of franchise fees and royalties. If the audited revenues are less that 10% of what was stated, the $1.6 million balance payment will be reduced to $800,000. Panacea plans to obtain both debt and equity financing for payment on the closing date.

 

The APA includes covenants of the parties customary for transactions similar to those contemplated by the APA, including, among others, that PUR Life shall conduct and operate its franchise business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice until the closing of the transaction and not engage in certain kinds of activities or transactions during this period. PUR Life has also agreed that, any franchise fees and investment received beginning on September 26, 2023 will be transferred to the Company. PUR Life has also agreed that, for the period commencing on the closing date of the transaction (September 26, 2023) until the second anniversary thereof, neither it nor any of its affiliates will provide, design, develop, market, engage in, produce or sell any products, services, or businesses which are the same or similar to those produced, marketed, invested in or sold by PUR Life, or engage in any aspect of the PUR Life business or activities competitive with the PUR Life business.

In addition, certain representations and warranties set forth in the APA may have been used for purposes of risk-allocation between the Company and PUR Life rather than establishing matters of fact.

Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. Continues Growth Trajectory with Acquisition of the PÜR LIFE Medical Franchise

 

The company expands upon its vertical integration vision within the alternative remedies and therapies space.

 

Golden, Colorado, October 2 2023 /Globe Newswire/ — Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:PLSH) (“Panacea”, “PLSH” or the “Company”), today announced it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the PÜR LIFE Medical Franchise, an innovative franchise company providing cutting-edge pain and prevention solutions as an integrative and synergistic approach to health and healing. The acquisition of PÜR LIFE adds to Panacea’s unique, vertical integration strategy in the natural health and wellness space as we now control manufacturing, production, and distribution of products and services into the $3 trillion U.S. healthcare market.

 

Founded by one of the experts in the franchise industry, Mr. Dan Olsen, PÜR LIFE Medical provides a revolutionary approach to health and wellness by providing alternative cutting-edge medical solutions to traditional medicine. PÜR LIFE clinics provide state-of-the-art equipment and solutions to assist customers with natural, noninvasive procedures for anti-aging, pain management, weight loss, sleep issues, emotional health, and overall health to help people live longer, healthier lives. Dan Olsen was instrumental in the growth and success of the Fantastic Sam’s and Massage Envy franchises, and he believes the PÜR LIFE franchise business could be a similar business. “By combining Panacea’s incredible products with the power of franchising with PÜR LIFE Medical, the synergistic effect is exponential growth in company value. But more importantly, more people’s lives will change for the better with improved health and longevity,” stated Dan Olsen. “The purchase of these assets and franchises will provide tremendous value to Panacea shareholders and the lives its serves.”

 

In 2022, Panacea pivoted its business model from a primary focus on hemp-derived CBD products into the nutraceutical markets by expanding its manufacturing operations and adding new brands to the marketplace. “We have been working very hard to execute our vision as a leading vertically integrated, alternative remedy health and wellness provider,” states Nick Cavarra, President of Panacea. “Bringing PÜR LIFE and its franchise model into the fold allows us to offer the highest quality services and natural products to this explosive market. Consumers are leery of synthetic medicines and invasive treatments and actively seeking alternative remedies and therapies that provide health, pain management and longevity to their lives.”

 

The purchase price for the PÜR LIFE Medical franchise is $1 million in cash plus an additional $1.6 million payable based upon future metrics and achieving franchise sales goals. The cash is due in two tranches, $180,000 upon receipt of auditable financials and back-up and $820,000 on November 10, 2023. This will be financed via debt and equity. In addition, Mr. Olsen retains 7% of the PÜR LIFE subsidiary in exchange for his continued services to the PLSH management team.
