The Healing Company (OTCQB: HLCO), today announced that it has successfully uplisted from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) and will continue trading under the symbol “HLCO”. Additionally, The Healing Company announced it had secured up to $7 million in new investment from strategic partners including the investment office of the Burman family, majority shareholders of one of the largest Indian consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and the largest Ayurvedic company worldwide with a $12 billion market capitalization, as well as the esteemed German family office of Stephan and Ingvild Goetz (Munich). Including previously announced financing, this brings total raised and committed equity funding to up to $17 million, alongside the $150 million credit facility supporting future acquisitions.

The investment is intended to support the Company’s strategy of building a community of powerful healing brands through the acquisition of companies in the wellness, supplement, and nutraceutical spaces. Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market provides The Healing Company’s current and future investors with greater access to data, home country disclosure, ease of trading, and transparency. With the new funding and successful uplisting, The Healing Company is aiming for a NASDAQ listing within the next 12 months. 

“The announcement of the uplisting, alongside the funding from long-term strategic investors experienced in the wellness, supplement, and nutraceutical sectors, is further validation of our business model and will support an acceleration of our accretive buy-and-build strategy. Moreover, we are confident the uplist will allow us to reach a broader investor base, and is an important stepping stone towards our goal of listing on a national exchange in the near-term. These are all exciting milestones for The Healing Company as we continue to acquire and scale health and wellbeing businesses to further our mission of bringing integrated healing to the world,” 

Simon Belsham, CEO and Co-Founder of The Healing Company.

Mr. Belsham further noted, “This announcement comes on the heels of record financial performance during the fiscal third quarter, in which we achieved sequential revenue of $3.2 million, a 34% increase over the second quarter, resulting from our successful track record of acquiring and integrating complementary businesses. Your Super, our first acquisition, demonstrated profitable growth this quarter for the first time in its history. Building on this success, in March we completed the acquisition of the Chopra Global wellbeing experiences businesses which include Chopra’s physical product line, the Chopra meditation & wellbeing app, as well as licensed experiences including the award-winning Chopra Health Retreat at CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa and the Chopra Mind-Body Zone and Spa at the Lake Nona Performance Club. Importantly, we are already seeing strong performance from the Chopra businesses. Looking ahead, we have a robust pipeline of additional acquisition targets that we believe would be both synergistic and accretive.”
