SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PHARMACORP RX INC. (“PharmaCorp” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: PCRX) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated April 3, 2025, it has completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of a pre-1954 charter company (the “Charter Company”) in Ontario, Canada (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition of the Charter Company is an arm’s length transaction and no finder’s fees were paid in respect of the Acquisition.
The Acquisition of the Charter Company represents a major milestone for PharmaCorp. As previously disclosed, due to ownership restrictions under the Drug and Pharmacies Regulations Act (Ontario), a corporation that is not owned by pharmacists – including a public company – may not own or operate a pharmacy in Ontario unless it operates through a company that was operating as a pharmacy on May 14, 1954 (a “Pre-1954 Charter”) and has maintained its status as a Pre-1954 Charter company. The Acquisition enables PharmaCorp to acquire, own and operate pharmacies across Ontario through the acquired Charter Company.
About PharmaCorp Rx Inc.
PharmaCorp currently operates three PharmaChoice bannered pharmacies in Canada and will continue to acquire PharmaChoice Canada branded pharmacies as they come to market in conjunction with its strategic alliance agreement with PharmaChoice Canada. The Corporation will also acquire independently owned non-PharmaChoice Canada bannered pharmacies in Canada, and thereafter, continue to operate such acquired pharmacies under a PharmaChoice Canada banner. PharmaCorp shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol: PCRX.
