VANCOUVER, June 13, 2019 /CNW/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: WELL)
("WELL" or the "Company") announced today that it has closed its previously announced
bought deal private placement offering, including the exercise in full of the underwriters'
over-allotment option. A total of $10,500,000 aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") of the Company were
sold at a price of $1,000 per Convertible Debenture (the "Offering"), with $9,500,000
aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures issued on the date hereof and
a further tranche of $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures
to be issued on or before June 20, 2019, subject to receipt of funds.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for future acquisitions,
including the potential acquisition of KAI Innovations announced on May 30, 2019,
organic growth investments, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Hamed Shahbazi, CEO and Chairman, stated "We are very pleased with the outcome
of the Offering and to be attracting a number of new institutional investors to the
opportunity across clinical and digital healthcare.".
The Convertible Debentures were sold on a bought deal private placement basis
pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and a syndicate of
underwriters led by GMP Securities L.P. and including Beacon Securities Limited, Eight
Capital Corp., Gravitas Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp.
Certain officers of the Company (including the CFO and CEO who subscribed for
amounts of $150,000 and $100,000 respectively) purchased or acquired direction and
control over $350,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures under the
Offering. Additionally, Mr. Li Ka-shing agrees to acquire $500,000 aggregate principal
amount of Convertible Debentures. The placement to those persons constitutes a
"related party transaction" within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9
and Multilateral Instrument - 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions ("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on exemptions
from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101
contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party
participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-
101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the
transaction, insofar as it involved related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's
market capitalization as determined under MI 61-101).
The Debentures and any common shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof,
as applicable, are subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day
following the closing date.
