GALLAGHER SECURITY CORP. ENTERS INTO BINDING LETTER OF INTENT WITH MYCELIUM WAREHOUSE LTD.
Kelowna, British Columbia, February 23, 2021 – Gallagher Security Corp. (CSE: GLL) (“ GLL ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the “ LOI ”) with MyCelium Warehouse Ltd. (“ MyCelium ”) regarding a proposed transaction to acquire up to all of the issued and outstanding securities of MyCelium (the “ Transaction ”). The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction and will, if completed, constitute a “Fundamental Change” pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “ Exchange ”). The Company will have until May 31, 2021 to conduct due diligence on MyCelium, with a view to negotiating the terms of a definitive agreement (the “ Definitive Agreement ”) in order to complete the Transaction.
About MyCelium
MyCelium is positioned to be a leading supplier of the total infrastructure requirements and services to individuals and companies looking for the ‘Home Depot’ of the thriving Medical and Recreational Mushroom sector. MyCelium has created a series of patentable products and processes that offer an extensive array of turnkey engineered solutions for mushroom cultivation and harvest, from sterilizers, grains, and soil, to laboratory equipment and storage, and can provide advisory services from an accomplished Mycologist.
MyCelium intends to develop its first retail location and warehouse in the second quarter of 2021. By late March 2021, the company’s commercial website will be launched. The warehouse facility will showcase a first of its kind engineered turnkey solution for growing mushrooms on a commercial scale. MyCelium has end-to-end solutions for mushroom enthusiasts and those commercial operators looking to produce at scale. The ability of MyCelium to provide turnkey solutions for all things mushroom from the ingredients, equipment to the hygienic environment at all different scales allows it to provide cost effective solutions while maintaining healthy margins. The ability of MyCelium to provide turnkey solutions for all things mushroom from the ingredients and infrastructure, to the equipment required to maintain a hygienic environment at all different scales allows it to provide cost effective solutions while maintaining healthy margins.
The legislation today for the agricultural mushroom sector is similar to when the first cannabis License was approved for medical use in California in 1996. It must be noted that several successful ventures in cannabis have been the infrastructure, services and consumables providers. Successful companies in this space have been able to generate significant revenue and cash flow as commercial cannabis production capacity has been developed. But, importantly, mushroom cultivation involves more precise technology than the Cannabis sector as mushroom cultivation requires virtually perfect conditions to germinate. As such, the need for engineered solutions is far greater and more profitable, particulary at the commercial scale.
