By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 3, 2023) -  Lorne Park Capital Partners Inc. (TSXV: LPC) ("LPCP") is pleased to announce that it has, through a newly established, wholly-owned subsidiary, Bellwether Investment Management USA, Inc. ("Bellwether USA"), closed an acquisition of 80% of the membership interests of Promus Asset Management, LLC ("Promus"). Promus is a Texas limited liability company, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment advisor, and holds approximately U$430 million in assets under management. This transaction is at arm's length and no securities are being issued by LPCP.

The membership interest purchase agreement ("MIPA") provides that Bellwether USA will acquire 80% of the membership interests of Promus in exchange for consideration of U$4,489,382, to be paid by Bellwether USA as follows: U$3,120,000 on closing, and U$1,369,382 on the first anniversary of closing, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the MIPA. On closing, Promus will become a subsidiary of Bellwether USA and will continue to operate as a registered investment advisor.

Promus was founded in 2011 by Brandon Pope to provide investment management services to its clients, and was recognized in 2020, 2021 and 2022 as a top wealth management firm in Dallas-Fort Worth by D Magazine. "My vision has always been to engage, encourage and empower families to define, plan and create their family legacy, through planning, preparation and proper wealth management. We have been working with our clients to accomplish these goals through integrity, independence and objectivity," said Mr. Pope. He continued, "Lorne Park and Bellwether hold the same values and disciplined approach. This transaction will allow us access to a larger portfolio management team as well as additional resources and offerings to better serve our clients, and we are proud to be part of this growing Company."

"We are very excited to welcome the Promus team and we look forward to working together to continue to deliver outstanding client service and unique investment offerings that both Promus and our existing clients have enjoyed for many years," said Robert Sewell, President and CEO of LPCP.
