BLENDER BITES SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE ADVANCED SPORTS NUTRITION INC.

Blender Bites Ltd. has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) dated Oct. 19, 2023, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Advanced Sports Nutrition Inc. (ASN).

ASN is involved with medical research financed by the National Football League (NFL) at the University of Regina related to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of concussions and for pain management. While Blender Bites currently includes functional ingredients in its products, such as adaptogenic mushrooms and collagen, the company believes that access to proprietary research data on CBD would allow it to formulate new functional products backed by scientifically established CBD protocols.

"Our letter of intent to acquire Advanced Sports Nutrition reflects our commitment to the development of innovative functional beverages. We're very interested in the adaptogenic properties of CBD, and with access to ASN's research results on CBD protocols, we can expand our offerings and create products supported by scientific research," stated Chelsie Hodge, Blender Bites chief executive officer.

Terms of the LOI

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, ASN has agreed to refrain from entering any transaction contrary to the proposed transaction during Blender Bites' due diligence review of ASN. A valuation of ASN is currently being conducted by a third party evaluator, and a purchase price for ASN has not been determined. Once a valuation has been determined, the LOI contemplates that the acquisition of ASN will proceed via share exchange, with the current shareholders of ASN receiving shares of the company in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding share capital of ASN.

Completion of the proposed acquisition of ASN remains subject to a number of conditions, including the satisfactory completion of due diligence, receipt of any required regulatory approvals and the negotiation of definitive documentation. The acquisition cannot be completed until these conditions have been satisfied.

The company is at arm's length from ASN and each of its shareholders. The acquisition of ASN is not expected to constitute a fundamental change for the company, nor is it expected to result in a change of control of the company, within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. No finders fees or commissions are payable in connection with the acquisition of ASN.

Corporate update

The company also announces that Nicole Lacson has resigned from her role as corporate secretary of Blender Bites. Geoff Balderson, the company's chief financial officer, has been appointed as corporate secretary in her place. The company thanks Ms. Lacson for her outstanding work in the role during her tenure.
