Zinzino Acquires Assets in Xeliss in Southern Europe and in the Microalgae Spirulina
ZINZINO AB (PUBL): Zinzino acquires assets in Xeliss - strategic reinforcement in southern Europe and in the microalgae spirulina
Overview
Zinzino, the global health and wellness brand from Scandinavia, has acquired, through a business asset acquisition, the rights to the distributor database and associated customer register, inventory, and intellectual property of the Luxembourg-based direct sales company Xellis. This is a further strategically important step in Zinzino's growth plans, focusing on improving personal health and well-being on a global level with innovative biotechnology and a groundbreaking product portfolio marketed through direct sales.
Xelliss
Xelliss is a global direct sales company based in Luxembourg.
Its brand portfolio offers a range of natural and innovative products in wellness, nutrition, and cosmetics, based on the microalgae spirulina produced in-house.
Zinzino Vision
A visionary mindset, a tech-first approach, test-based nutrition at the cellular level, and a strong position to take advantage of current trends will shape the foundation of the partnership with Xellis.
Since the acquisition of VMA Life in 2020, Enhanzz in 2022, and the strategic cooperation with ACN at the start of 2024, Zinzino has been looking for additional powerful investments to maintain its sustainable, profitable growth, strengthen its distribution power, expand into new markets, and utilize its product portfolio in new consumer areas.
Words from CEO: Xellis
Individual advising and customized solutions are the future, not only in health and wellness, says Dag Bergheim Pettersen, CEO of Zinzino, and Jean-Michel Larré, CEO and founder of Xellis. Together, we have many years of combined industry experience and everything required to drive the modern, personal shopping experience through direct sales.
The Acquisition
Zinzino acquires Xelliss's distributor organization as well as inventory and IP rights to the product lines.
The operation, which had a turnover of approximately 8 million EUR last year, is expected to generate strong growth through the synergies created in the joint networks.
The operation's gross margins are good, and profitability will therefore be able to develop very well by utilizing Zinzino's existing technical platform and organization.
Zinzino Post Acquisition
At the time of entry, Zinzino will pay a fixed purchase price of 2 million EUR, divided into 50% cash and 50% newly issued Zinzino shares.
In addition, conditional additional purchase prices based on sales development generated by the acquired distributor organization during the period 2024–2029 will apply.
The total additional purchase prices are estimated to amount to 4.0 million EUR but could reach up to 8.0 million EUR at maximum outcome and will be regulated entirely with newly issued Zinzino shares.
The cash portion of the purchase price is financed with own cash.
