Irwin Naturals' Buys Holistic Clinic In Vermont, Expanding Ketamine Emergency Treatments To Northeast Area

Irwin Naturals Inc. (OTC:IWINF), a nutraceutical company developing hemp-based CBD products, is growing its national chain of psychedelic mental health emergency clinics, Irwin Naturals Emergence, including ketamine-assisted treatments. 

The company recently signed a binding agreement to acquire the assets of Hobie Fuerstman D O PLC, a primary care clinic provider based in Colchester, Vermont dedicated to preventive medicine. This marks Irwin’s first emergence in Vermont.

The deal is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The transaction’s total amount will be paid in a combination of cash and stock, with the maximum payable contingent to achievements regarding profitability and operational goals. 

This agreement is the latest on the list of company actions taken in 2022 so far. Earlier this year, its proprietary THC formulas were sold to the California-based laboratory The Hive, Colorado cannabis manufacturer Larsen Group II LLC and Ohio producer BeneLeaves Ltd.    

"Our roll-up is gathering momentum. This is the eighth ketamine clinic we are adding to our growing portfolio, which now covers four states, made up of acquired clinics and clinics under definitive agreements,” said CEO Klee Irwin. “As we focus on acquiring profitable operations, we continue to add to our bottom line through these highly accretive transactions”

Owner and director of Preventive Hobie Fuerstman added, “There's a lot of good that can come from merging with a nationally recognized and well-respected brand. This collaboration will allow us to amplify the reach of our integrative healthcare clinic, which means we can help more people without compromising our values.”
