Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE) (“Prenetics” or the “Company”), a leading health sciences company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Europa Sports Partners (“Europa”) and subsidiary, Hubmatrix, a global ecommerce and retail logistics provider. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in Prenetics' expansion into the $187 billion United States consumer health and wellness industry, and reinforces Prenetics’ recent entry into this sector with IM8, a new health and wellness brand with a focus on cutting-edge consumer health products. The acquisition and the continued operations of Europa have been funded with cash available on the Company’s balance sheet.

Additionally, the Europa business establishes the U.S. headquarters of Prenetics in Charlotte, NC, and solidifies its business commitment to the US market. The acquisition of Europa and subsidiary Hubmatrix will drive Prenetics’ distribution network and streamline the predominantly brick and mortar distribution business model to include a direct digital distribution platform.

Danny Yeung, CEO of Prenetics, said: “Prenetics’ acquisition of Europa and Hubmatrix is a strategic move that establishes our foothold in the U.S. market. Coupled with our partnership with David Beckham and the upcoming launch of IM8, we are positioned to become a leader in the health and wellness industry. This move demonstrates our commitment to significant growth and innovation in the rapidly expanding consumer market, with expectations to surpass $100 million in consumer segment revenue by the end of 2025.”

Justin Weeks, CEO of Europa Sports Partners, added: “Joining forces with Prenetics opens up new opportunities for Europa to leverage our advanced technologies and digital strategies.
