Pervasip Announces Restructuring and Spin-Out

SEATTLE, WA, Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pervasip Corp. (OTCPK: PVSP) (“Pervasip” or the “Company”), a developer of companies and technologies in high value emerging markets, is pleased to announce the restructuring of its cannabis operations to convert about $15,000,000 in debt into 15% of a newly formed subsidiary. The restructuring is a prelude to the Company’s previously announced plan to spin that new subsidiary out into a standalone public entity on the OTCQB market.

The Company has completed its final audited financials, which have been instrumental in guiding this decision. A key aspect of this restructuring involves converting over 80% of the company's debt into equity in the new cannabis-focused entity. This move is designed to streamline operations and strengthen Pervasip's financial footing.

It's important to note that the impact of the subsidiary debt-equity conversion and the corresponding dilution at the subsidiary level will not impact the subsidiary common shares reserved for current Pervasip common shareholders in the subsidiary spin out. Thus, the subsidiary spin-out will still involve the 15,000,000 subsidiary common shares reserved for the Pervasip common shareholders as announced in 2023, 15,000,000 subsidiary common shares reserved for the newly restructured subsidiary debt, and the remaining 70,000,000 subsidiary common shares for holders of Pervasip’s Series K Preferred Stock. In addition to this restructuring, Pervasip is embarking on a strategic transition away from non-productive assets, focusing exclusively on higher-margin branded product sales in all of its operating markets. This shift is expected to enhance profitability and efficiency, aligning with the Company’s long-term growth objectives.

The goal through these changes is to position Pervasip in a way that allows the market to assess the Company’s performance based on profitability. We aim to establish benchmarks for stock performance valuations using metrics such as EV/Sales and EV/EBIDTA. Furthermore, this restructuring is anticipated to significantly reduce the company's debt-to-equity ratios, thereby strengthening our balance sheet and overall financial health.

"We are excited about this new phase in Pervasip's journey. Restructuring our operations and focusing on high-margin, branded product sales will not only streamline our business but also enhance shareholder value," said German Burtscher, CEO/President of Pervasip. "The long-announced spin-out of our cannabis assets marks a pivotal step in our strategy to become a more focused, profitable company. We believe these changes will positively reflect in our stock performance and overall market valuation."

This strategic restructuring represents a new chapter for Pervasip, positioning it for sustainable growth and profitability. The company is committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates as we progress through this transformative phase.
