Upexi Agrees to Acquire Remaining 45% Interest in Cygnet Online One Year Ahead of Schedule

CLEARWATER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2023 / Upexi Inc. (NASDAQ:UPXI) (the "Company" or "Upexi"), a multi-faceted brand owner and innovator in aggregation, today announced that the Company has acquired the remaining 45% interest in Cygnet Online LLC ("Cygnet"), an Amazon and eCommerce seller, with 1,200 active SKUs of branded OTC products. The acquisition will result in the Company's full ownership of Cygnet's expanding business and secures the Amazon reseller business expansion strategy for the future.

Cygnet has been selling on Amazon for many years, with a focus on the OTC, supplements, and beauty markets. With sales over $29.5 million in calendar 2022, it is a well-established secondary market seller on Amazon with licenses to sell many branded OTC products. Cygnet has achieved substantial growth for the past two years and the synergies with Upexi are expected to increase both the number of products and total sales in the future. The deal closes the week of May 15th with structured cash payments equaling $1.95 million over the subsequent 12 months.

Upexi CEO, Allan Marshall, commented, "The deal solidifies our Upexi Amazon reseller strategy for the future and reduces the overall cost structure for the business. Closing the deal early offers significant G&A savings and the opportunity to purchase Cygnet at a substantial discount to next year's overall anticipated cost. Upexi's business remains strong, even in the current challenging economic environment, and we continue to focus on growth and the overall long-term success of the business."
