PHARMACORP RX INC. (TSXV: PCRX) ("PharmaCorp" or the "Corporation"), a Canadian pharmacy acquisition and ownership platform, announced today that, further to its May 25, 2026 news release, it has completed the acquisition of a 100 per cent interest in a PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy located in Ontario (the "Acquisition").
The Acquisition represents the tenth pharmacy added to the Corporation's operating network through acquisitions completed since August 2025 and increases PharmaCorp's overall store count to 15 pharmacies.
The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was approximately $8.1 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.
Since that announcement, the Corporation has entered into definitive share purchase agreements in respect of two of the four letters of intent, one of which relates to the Acquisition announced today and one of which relates to a PharmaChoice Canada-bannered pharmacy located in Western Canada (collectively, the "Definitive Agreements").
The Acquisition announced today is the first of the Definitive Agreements to close.
The Corporation has received preliminary approval from the applicable provincial college of pharmacy in respect of the second Definitive Agreement and anticipates closing on or about August 17, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
If completed, that acquisition would increase PharmaCorp's overall store count to 16 pharmacies.
Following the conversion of two of the four previously announced letters of intent into the Definitive Agreements, the two remaining previously announced non-binding letters of intent are progressing toward definitive purchase agreements.
In addition, the Corporation has executed a further non-binding letter of intent, dated July 23, 2026, relating to the proposed acquisition of a pharmacy located in Western Canada.
Together with the previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent dated June 23, 2026, PharmaCorp currently has four active non-binding letters of intent in process.
The proposed acquisitions contemplated by the active letters of intent remain subject to completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive purchase agreements.
