Investee Company Update: Yooma Wellness Inc.

SEED Innovations Ltd, the AIM-quoted company investing in fast-growing and industry-leading businesses with a focus on the medical cannabis, health, and wellness space, notes the suspension of trading of its portfolio company, Yooma Wellness Inc.'s ("Yooma"), common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange and on Aquis.

Yooma anticipates that it will complete the Annual Filings on or before 15 July 2023, and that revocation of the Cease Trade Order and the lifting of the share suspension is expected to occur within a few days after the Annual Filings are made. SEED currently carries its investment in Yooma at £43,000 and expects to write this down to £nil on publication of the annual accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Ed McDermott, SEED's CEO, commented: "It is disappointing to see Yooma's shares suspended from trading on the CSE and Aquis today. Whilst Yooma expects to make its Annual Filings as described above, this follows the widely reported very poor operational performance in recent months. For SEED, over time, Yooma has become an immaterial holding and was already written down as at our last published NAV to £43,000. I'm pleased to say we have since had a number of NAV increasing announcements with other portfolio assets including Northern Leaf and South West Brands. Looking ahead, Yooma will be carried at £nil for the year ended 31 March 2023."

The full announcement is set out without material changes or adjustments.
