Dr. Phone Fix Canada Corporation has entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all business assets of Geebo Device Repair Inc., a leading mobile-device repair chain operating multiple retail service locations in Nova Scotia.
“This transaction marks Dr. Phone Fix’s strategic entry into Atlantic Canada, advancing our national expansion strategy and strengthening our position as a Canadian leader in consumer electronics device care and resale,” says Piyush Sawhney, Founder and CEO of Dr. Phone Fix.
Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Phone Fix will acquire substantially all the assets of Geebo, which span across six operating stores and include leases that provide options for future expansion, for a base purchase price of $1,350,000, subject to customary adjustments, plus an amount equal to the value of saleable inventory at closing.
The purchase price will be satisfied through a combination of $600,000 in cash, a vendor take–back promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, and common shares of the company issued to the seller. The Company will issue Consideration Shares having an aggregate value of $500,000 and additional Consideration Shares equal to the closing value of purchased saleable inventory net of the cash attributed to such inventory.
The number of Consideration Shares issuable will be determined using the greater of the 21–day volume–weighted average trading price of the company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange as of the last trading day prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreement, and the minimum price permitted under TSXV policies. All Consideration Shares will be held in escrow and released in accordance with the terms of a customary escrow agreement.
“This acquisition marks a significant milestone in Dr. Phone Fix’s ongoing expansion and strengthens our position as a coast-to-coast service provider,” adds Sawhney. “Establishing a strong East Coast platform immediately extends our geographic reach, creates operational synergies, and connects us with a loyal regional customer base. It also enhances our OEM-certified repair capabilities, deepens insurance-partner relationships, and reinforces our commitment to sustainable device-care practices. With this transaction, we are building the foundation for scalable national growth and moving closer to our goal of expanding from approximately 35 corporate locations to more than 70 stores nationwide within the next 12 to 18 months.”
Following closing of the Transaction, Geebo’s team and management are expected to remain in place to ensure operational continuity and maintain the level of service customers have come to expect.
Dr. Phone Fix remains focused on expanding its network of corporate-owned stores across major provinces while pursuing further partnerships and acquisitions.
The transaction, which is an arm’s length transaction, will be subject to customary adjustments and closing conditions, including the approval of the TSXV. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed, or at all.
A copy of the Definitive Agreement will be filed under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
