20.6.2024 15:04:24 CEST | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 20, 2024 / Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPXI) (the "Company" or "Upexi"), a multi-faceted Amazon and Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") brand owner and innovator in aggregation, today is providing shareholders with a update on its restructuring to reduce debt and increase working capital through the sale of assets.
As previously announced, the Upexi management team and the Board of Directors are exploring strategic alternatives for the Company to maximize current and future shareholder value. On June 13, 2024, the Company sold 100% of the outstanding stock of its wholly owned subsidiary VitaMedica, Inc. (‘VitaMedica'). The value received from this sale will eliminate some of the current debt and provide the necessary working capital for other business units to grow. Upexi Distribution will continue to provide services to the brand through the transition services agreement.
In addition, the Company has a contract to sell the warehouse located in Clearwater, Florida, which is expected to close in the middle of July and eliminate approximately $2.6 million in debt and provide approximately $1.4 million in cash for working capital.
The Company plans to continue to evaluate alternatives, which may include the sale of other business units to eliminate outstanding debt and free up cash to reinvest and grow the business.
Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi, commented, "Our current debt has inhibited our ability to operate the businesses and continue with our original strategy. The current market conditions make it impossible to raise growth capital or refinance debt in a way that the Company can grow and bring value to our current shareholders. The asset sales are the only path to eliminate debt, secure the balance sheet and provide the capital needed to grow for the future."
The Company's management expects to file its quarterly financial statements for the nine months ended, March 31, 2024 on June 24, 2024.

Study Finds Lower Rates of Overweight Among Vegan-Fed Cats23.10.2026 16:45:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / A large-scale survey published in Frontiers in Animal Science has found cats fed vegan diets had lower rates of obesity and related health problems, than those fed conventional meat-based diets. An online survey analysed carer-reported veterinary assessments of 1,305 cats fed either conventional meat-based (90%) or vegan (10%) diets for at least one year. After accounting for factors including age, sex, neuter status, activity and feeding practices, vegan-fed cats had 34% lower odds of being assessed as overweight. However, the difference was not statistically significant, in part reflecting the relatively small number of vegan-fed cats. For several body weight-related problems, no vegan-fed cats were affected. Nevertheless, researchers say the findings show an interesting trend that warrants further investigation. Overweight and obesity are common in domestic cats, with veterinary studies estimating that around 30-60% of cats are overw
