NEW YORK, Oct. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hispanica International, Inc. (OTCQB: HISP) a brand accelerator company focused on proprietary brands in the beverage and snack industry, today announced that it has signed agreements with Shircoo Inc. and JH Brech, LLC, two existing shareholders, to provide debt financing to finance the company’s proposed acquisition of New York-based Giant Beverage Company, Inc., and provide additional working capital.
Hispanica intends to invest the new capital to further expand its portfolio of brands with continued sales and distribution as well as through strategic acquisitions of key assets to align with boosting proprietary distribution channels, as well as to retire certain convertible debt. In particular, the additional funds will enable Hispanica to close the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Giant Beverage.
The acquisition is expected to close within the current quarter following customary closing conditions.
“The influx of capital has come from existing shareholders who are intimate with both our vision and financial standing, and represents their bullish optimism regarding the company’s future. This investment enables us to move forward without having to further dilute our existing shareholders,” stated Hispanica Chairman and CEO Fernando Oswaldo Leonzo. “The working capital provides us with the resources to swiftly execute on our plans, including our ability to improve our balance sheet and increase revenues organically and through acquisitions.”
Hispanica continues its explosive retail growth, expecting immediate access to over 500 additional retailers in New York City alone, through the Giant Beverage acquisition. In addition, Hispanica expects to see a 100% increase in net revenue for fiscal 2018 to over $7M. The company’s network of retailers and distributors has grown more than 100% year over year, now topping over 2,000 locations throughout the United States. The goal is to have a direct and indirect reach of 10,000 retailers by the end of 2018.
“The acquisition of Giant Beverage is an example of the type of asset we can acquire that will increase our direct footprint in perhaps one of the most competitive but lucrative markets in the U.S,” explained John Romagosa, President of Hispanica. “We’re excited about the present and future; more announcements will be forthcoming.”
The global beverage industry is expected to reach an estimated $1.9 trillion by 2021 and Hispanica anticipates a robust strategy to leverage the major drivers (growing urbanization and disposable income) for growth within this market segment. With the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% through 2021, Hispanica is in position to take advantage of this dramatic market shift.
