MONTREAL, Nov. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GURU Organic Energy Corp. (TSX: GURU) (“GURU” or the “Company”), Canada’s leading organic energy drink brand, is pleased to announce the start of trading of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), under the symbol “GURU”.
Prior to the TSX stock listing, the Company closed its $34.5 million financing on September 30, 2020, and its reverse takeover transaction with Mira X Acquisition Corp. on October 29, 2020, allowing it to trade today on Canada’s premier stock exchange.
“We are excited to begin this new adventure as a Canadian public company with a strong financial position, a proven strategy and a passionate team to execute our plan to expand across Canada and in the U.S.,” said Carl Goyette, President and Chief Executive Officer of GURU.
“GURU has established a meaningful brand and fast-growing market position in our home market of Quebec, which we aim to grow further in the coming years. We have also successfully grown our market share in larger markets and multiple sales channels where there is a growing appetite for organic, plant-based alternatives. With a significant Canadian and U.S. market opportunity and a proven go-to-market strategy, the future bodes well for GURU as we replicate our Quebec success to other jurisdictions and aim to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
