VANCOUVER - Beyond Oil Ltd. (CSE: BOIL) ('Beyond Oil'), a food-tech innovation company extending the life of frying oil, reducing costs and waste and Coho Collective Kitchens Inc. (TSXV: COHO) ('Coho' and, together with Beyond Oil, the 'Companies'), creator of Canada's premier commissary kitchens and food production spaces, are pleased to announce they have executed a non-binding letter of intent (the 'LOI').
The LOI outlines Beyond Oil's anticipated collaboration with Coho, introducing Beyond Oil's fry oil product to its kitchens' frying systems to improve fry oil life and reduce oil waste. Upon completion of the tests, Beyond Oil and Coho may negotiate the terms of a definitive agreement, which will be led by Beyond Oil's distributor, TEJA Food Group ('TEJA'). 'Coho was founded based on our passion for food. We are always exploring collaboration with outstanding food start-ups and restaurants that want to change the food industry,' said Andrew Barnes, CEO of Coho Collective. 'We aim to solve many of the problems facing small and mediumsized food companies and found Beyond Oil's solution to be compelling. Our hope is that this solution will bring leverage and added value for Coho's members, while helping them provide their customers with healthier and tastier food.'
Beyond Oil and Coho expect to undertake the oil enhancement testing process at one of Coho's ghost kitchen facilities in late August. TEJA will lead the testing process and perform the filtration daily using the Beyond Oil powder. If the testing process is successful, Coho may elect to execute a definitive agreement with the parties. 'As Beyond Oil approaches commercialization, we are pleased to be working with Coho Collective Kitchens as Beyond Oil and Coho are two innovative companies that are not afraid to challenge conventions,' said Dr. Tamir Gedo, CEO of Beyond Oil. 'Coho is at the forefront of the rapidly growing ghost kitchen market, and we look forward to working with the Coho team. This collaboration is an additional strategic step for Beyond Oil and accelerates our commercialization and expansion into new markets, while continuing to change the face of the restaurant industry toward a more sustainable future.' 'Coho is excited to introduce Beyond Oil's product into our kitchen network,' added Barnes. 'With operating costs impacted by inflation, we are looking for innovative ways to lower food costs for our community.
