Aureus Eliminates $3mm in Debt and Closes Yuenglings Ice Cream Acquisition

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / June 20, 2019 / Aureus, Inc. (OTC PINK: ARSN), www.AureusNOW.com, a food brand development company that exclusively operates the online sales of Yuengling's Ice Cream brand, as well as select Yuengling retail distribution, is thrilled to announce it has completed the acquisition of Yuengling's Ice Cream ("Yuengling's"). As indicted in an earlier press release, the Company executed a revised LOI to acquire 100% of the assets of Yuengling's, instead of a stock purchase.

The asset purchase is structured as an Article 9 asset sale between Aureus and Yuengling's senior lender, Mid Penn Bank. A direct result of this structure is the elimination of approximately $3 million in Yuengling's liabilities, greatly improving the balance sheet of the combined Company.

"By reducing our liabilities and having access to capital through the public markets, the closing of the deal with Aureus provides a great platform to move Yuengling's Ice Cream forward", said Rob Bohorad, Yuengling's CFO.

"Now that the acquisition is complete, we can really focus our efforts on new product development and new business development", commented Everett Dickson, Aureus' President.

David Yuengling, Yuengling's President, added, "the acquisition does not really change anything on a daily basis, though. We will still focus on making the highest quality products and providing the best experience for our customers. Now, we simply have more resources to do better things with the company."
