The $70 million facility provided by Penfund is the fifth in a series of financings provided and arranged by Penfund, aggregating $310 million in total. This patient, long term and flexible capital has allowed us to accelerate our growth and to pursue our purpose of giving every Canadian the opportunity to live a fit and healthy good life.”
