Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 23, 2024) - Rumbu Holdings Ltd. (TSXV: RMB) ("Rumbu" or the "Company"), announces that it has completed a transaction to acquire RD Family Memorial Chapel Ltd. ("RD Funeral Chapel") also known as RD Family Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, located in Weyburn, Saskatchewan (the "Transaction"). In the Transaction, Rumbu purchased all of the issued shares of RD Funeral Chapel held by the Vendors utilizing funds from the previously announced lending facility of the Company with the Bank of Montreal and through the issuance of Promissory Notes to the Vendors in the aggregate amount of $450,000 CDN. The Promissory Notes are repayable in five (5) years from the Closing Date of the Transaction. Rumbu has retained most of the current staff of RD Funeral Chapel and will continue to operate the funeral home and business acquired. The acquisition supports Rumbu's commitment to acquiring, partnering, managing and operating funeral homes, crematoriums and aquation facilities in Western Canada. With the aging ownership in the funeral service business, Rumbu plans to lead the way in assisting funeral home owners to transition their businesses to current employees or aspiring funeral directors who are looking to operate in rural or mid market communities. This will allow Rumbu to maintain continuity and continue to provide quality funeral services in these communities.
