Final Bell Holdings International Completes Divestiture of Canadian Operations

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 8, 2024 / Final Bell Holdings International Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced Share Exchange Agreement ("SEA") with BZAM Ltd. ("BZAM"), resulting in the sale of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Final Bell Canada Inc. ("FBC"), and the divestiture of its Canadian operations.

The divestiture of FBC is expected to result in immediate cost savings and operational improvements for the Company, thereby enhancing shareholder value and improving financial performance. Additionally, the sale better positions the Company to focus on its core business strategies that include a global hardware and packaging business, cannabis manufacturing centered in California, and aggressive expansion of its recently launched MaaS (manufacturing as a service) business.

On closing, the Company received 90,000,000 common shares of BZAM at a deemed price of $0.15 per share, representing approximately one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of BZAM, and an unsecured promissory note in the amount of Cdn$8,000,000 maturing on June 15, 2027, payable in monthly installments. FBC will be renamed by BZAM.

With the sale of FBC, Greg Boone has joined BZAM as President and resigned from the board of directors of the Company.
