Hudson's Bay Announces Agreement to Sell its Intellectual Property and Brand Assets
TORONTO, May 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hudson's Bay Company ULC ("Hudson's Bay" or the "Company"), as part of its ongoing restructuring under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its intellectual property portfolio, including the HBC Stripes and other brand assets, to Canadian Tire Corporation.
"We are grateful that the HBC brand has found a home with another heritage retailer that encapsulates the uniquely authentic Canadian experience," said Liz Rodbell, President and CEO, Hudson's Bay. "I have no doubt they will be strong stewards of the more than 350-year HBC legacy as they move our iconic brands forward."
The agreement is the result of the previously announced sale and investment solicitation process approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court"), whereby the Company sought sale proposals and investment proposals from qualified bidders in respect of the Company's property and business. Following careful evaluation of final qualified bids, the board of directors of the Company, in consultation with Reflect Advisors, LLC, in its capacity as the Company's financial advisor, certain of the Company's senior lenders and the Court-appointed monitor (the "Monitor") of the Company, have determined that entering into the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.
The agreement is subject to Court-approval and other customary terms and conditions, and is expected to close in the summer of 2025. The purchase price for the intellectual property portfolio is $30,001,670, and the sale excludes the Company's art and artifacts which will be subject to a separate Court-approved process. The sale and investment solicitation process and lease monetization process remain ongoing and updates will be provided as appropriate.

Prime Drink Group Provides an Update on Its Bottling Subsidiary Receivership
MONTREAL, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prime Drink Group Corp. (CSE: PRME) ('Prime' or the 'Company') announces that its bottling subsidiary, formerly known as Triani Canada Inc. ('Triani'), has been placed into receivership and has ceased operations. Triani's receivership was ordered on June 10, 2025, by the Superior Court, District of Montreal, at the request of Triani's principal creditors pursuant to Section 243 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), as disclosed in the Company's press release dated April 7, 2025. The Company wishes to clarify that the parent company, Prime Drink Group Corp., and all of its other subsidiaries are not subject to this receivership. Ownership of the freshwater rights is segregated from Triani, and operations are continuing. Consistent with its objective of resuming growth of its business and brands, Prime is currently evaluating several options, including its intention to submit an offer to the principal creditors to acquire certain strategic assets of Triani. In addition, the Company is considering other avenues of recourse with respect to Triani and the various stakeholders. 'The receivership of Triani a few months after its acquisition puts us in a challenging situation but our resolve and vision remain unwavering. It is our intention to fight to recover what is owed to Prime and to continue developing our valuable strategic water and beverage assets. We are fortunate to have an experienced team in innovation, brand strategy and marketing that will be able to leverage Prime's assets for the benefit of our shareholders and come out stronger,' said Olivier Primeau, VP Marketing, Strategic Vision and Acquisitions at Prime. The Company reaffirms its commitment to the responsible development of its water resources in Québec. Discussions with government authorities are progressing well. Prime also wishes to announce the appointment of Jean Gosselin as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Jean has over 40 years of experience in finance and operations and previously served as Vice President of Finance and Corporate Secretary of Prime.
