In consideration for the Transaction, the Company will issue an aggregate of 1.5B restricted common shares of Caduceus (the "Consideration Shares") to McLovin's shareholders at a deemed price of $0.075 per Consideration Share in exchange of all of the issued and outstanding securities in the capital of McLovin's Pet Food, Inc. and a lump sum of USD 500,000.

Alex Chen, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Caduceus, stated: "We are excited about the opportunity to bring McLovin's under the Caduceus Corp umbrella. Consumer goods is an important and growing sector, especially given the current times."

The increase of pet humanization, wherein pets are treated with increased care and hygiene, is proving to be a major driver for the market and is leading to major changes in product packing and resourcing of ethically viable products. The pet food market has experienced positive effects during the pandemic outbreak. The Covid-19 lockdown restrictions resulted in heavy adoption and purchases among the consumers leading to an increase in demand. Over the years, pet adoption has increased due to varied reasons in North America. The increase in pet ownership among young adults is influenced by social media and millennial trends.

In 2019, pet adoption is a major category, with 45.0% of dogs and 60.0% of shelter cats being placed in new homes. Increase in awareness on animal welfare, has resulted in increase in adoption rate. Hence, due to the increased adoption of pets, pet food manufacturers are offering premium products targeted towards pet owners.

The global pet food market size was valued at USD 90.13 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 127.21 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
