ORIGINAL: PharmaCorp Closes Previously Announced Western Canada Pharmacy Acquisition and Announces Two Additional Definitive Agreements

2026-08-18 08:01 ET - News Release

  • Purchase price of approximately $2.47 million
  • Acquisition increases PharmaCorp's operating network to 16 pharmacies
  • New definitive share purchase agreement executed for a PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy in Western Canada at a purchase price of approximately $1.3 million
  • New definitive asset purchase agreement executed for the prescription files of an I.D.A.-bannered pharmacy in Western Canada

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2026) - PHARMACORP RX INC. (TSXV: PCRX) ("PharmaCorp" or the "Corporation"), a Canadian pharmacy acquisition and ownership platform, announced today that, further to its June 29, 2026, news release, it has completed the acquisition of a 100 per cent interest in a PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy located in Western Canada (the "Acquisition").

The Acquisition increases PharmaCorp's overall store count to 16 pharmacies.

The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was approximately $2.47 million and was funded using the Corporation's existing cash resources. The pharmacy was acquired from an arm's length vendor group, and no finder's fees were payable in connection with the Acquisition.

"This closing, together with the signing of two new additional definitive agreements for the purchase of a pharmacy and the purchase of prescription files, reflects the continued momentum of our acquisition pipeline at a pace we expect to build on," said Alan Simpson, Executive Chairman of PharmaCorp. "The prescription file purchase is expected to add patients and prescription volume to a pharmacy we already own and is the type of transaction we expect to continue pursuing where it makes sense geographically and complements our existing pharmacy network."

More on The New Definitive Agreements

The Corporation announced today that it has converted two previously disclosed non-binding letters of intent into definitive agreements:

The Corporation entered into a definitive share purchase agreement dated August 10, 2026 (the "Share Purchase Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of an entity that owns and operates a PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy. The pharmacy is located in Western Canada, and is pursuant to the previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent dated February 27, 2026, as replaced by a further non-binding letter of intent dated June 19, 2026. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $1.3 million, subject to customary adjustments, and is expected to be funded using the Corporation's existing cash resources. The pharmacy will continue to be operated by its existing managing pharmacist during the transition period, supporting continuity and integration into the PharmaCorp platform. The acquisition is expected to close on or about September 30, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals. On completion, the acquisition would increase PharmaCorp's overall store count to 17 pharmacies.

The Corporation also entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement dated August 7, 2026 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") to acquire the prescription files, patient records and related operational data of an I.D.A.-bannered pharmacy located in Western Canada, pursuant to the previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent dated June 29, 2026. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $475,000, subject to customary adjustments, and is expected to be funded using the Corporation's existing cash resources. The acquired files are expected to be transferred to and serviced by an existing PharmaCorp PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy located nearby, consolidating patient volume into a location the Corporation already operates. The transaction is an asset purchase and does not add a location to the Corporation's operating network. It is expected to close on or about September 7, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

No finder's fees are payable in respect of either transaction. Both transactions are being acquired from arm's length vendors.
