TAAT ™ GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES INC. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP) (the “Company” or “TAAT ™ ”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement dated Friday, February 25, 2022 to acquire HLND Holdings, Inc. (“HLND”), the parent entity of a convenience and tobacco wholesaler based in Ohio. HLND presently maintains a network of more than 5,000 convenience stores through its direct and indirect relationships with independent and corporate retailers as well as a network of regional sub-distributors. From 2019 to 2021 HLND realized at least 10% growth of its net revenues each year, with net revenues for calendar 2021 amounting to CAD $87,181,400.32 (approximate conversion from USD as at February 23, 2022), and continues to be profitable. The Company anticipates that by acquiring HLND it could fortify its existing revenue sources as well as its portfolio of assets as TAAT™ continues to expand both in the United States and internationally.
With its agreement to acquire HLND, the Company is embarking on a journey in which it plans to convert certain aspects of its supply chain into wholly-owned internal business units, which aligns with the practices of current leaders in the global tobacco industry. With HLND’s seasoned executive team and personnel in sales, logistics, and product development, the Company can leverage these invaluable skill sets as part of commercializing TAAT™ products on a larger scale.
