(“CHS“).

Any user, including the 600,000+ members currently using Novus can interact with doctors, clinics, and hospitals in the CHS network. The app will allow its users to connect to most major electronic medical records databases, payment gateways and billing systems. All the records on the app will be encrypted giving full control to its users.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the combined entity (the “Resulting Issuer“) will be a healthcare services company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“).

Greenstone intends that the Proposed Transaction will constitute its “Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange and will be listed as a Tier 2 technology issuer on the Exchange. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company expects that the Resulting Issuer will be named “Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc.” or such other name as acceptable to CHS and will continue to carry on the business of CHS as currently constituted. The Proposed Transaction is not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4).

Summary of the Qualifying Transaction

The LOI contemplates Greenstone and CHS undertaking an arm’s length business combination transaction. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the current securityholders of CHS would own a majority of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer and CHS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, and assuming the Concurrent Financings (as defined below) are fully subscribed, existing holders of common shares in the capital of Greenstone (the “Greenstone Shares“) are anticipated to hold, in the aggregate, 3,000,000 common shares in the share capital of the Resulting Issuer (the “Resulting Issuer Shares“) representing approximately 3.82% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (3.27% on a fully diluted basis). Former security holders of CHS (including holders of Convertible Debentures (as defined below) are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 60,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 76.43% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (65.31% on a fully diluted basis) and a deemed price per share of $0.30 (an aggregate deemed value of CHS of $18 million). Investors under the Brokered Concurrent Financing (as defined below) will hold, in the aggregate, 6,666,667 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 8.49% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (7.26% on a fully diluted basis). Investors under the Non-Brokered Concurrent Financing (as defined below) will hold, in the aggregate, 8,333,333 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 10.62% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (9.07% on a fully diluted basis).

Concurrent Private Placement Financings

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, CHS anticipates completing a brokered private placement financing (the “Brokered Concurrent Financing“) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CDN$2,000,000. It is anticipated that the Brokered Concurrent Financing will be undertaken as a “commercially reasonable best efforts” private placement of up to 6,666,667 subscription receipts of CHS (the “Subscription Receipts“) at a price of CDN$0.30 per Subscription Receipt (the “Offering Price“). Concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Transaction, each Subscription Receipt would automatically pursuant to its terms (without any action required from the holder thereof) be deemed exercised for common stock in the capital of CHS (the “CHS Shares“) on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction and subsequently exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares. Subscription funds received in connection with the Brokered Concurrent Financing would be held in escrow pending closing of the Proposed Transaction and subject to the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, which shall include Exchange approval of the Proposed Transaction. If the Proposed Transaction does not close, such subscription funds would be returned to subscribers with pro rata interest in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts.

In addition, CHS anticipates completing a non-brokered private placement financing (the “Non-Brokered Concurrent Financing” and together with the Brokered Concurrent Financing, the “Concurrent Financings“) of convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures“) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CDN$2,000,000. The Convertible Debentures will be issued on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the parties, but shall be convertible into CHS Shares at 20% discount to the Offering Price. The Convertible Debentures shall have conditions, which shall provide for the forced conversion of the Convertible Debentures into CHS Shares immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction.

Conditions to Closing

There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all.

Sponsorship of the Qualifying Transaction

Sponsorship of a “Qualifying Transaction” of a CPC is required by the Exchange unless exempt therefrom in accordance with the Exchange’s policies. Given the size and nature of the Proposed Transaction, including the amount of the Concurrent Financings, Greenstone intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. If the exemption is not granted by the Exchange, then Greenstone would be required to engage a sponsor.

Trading Halt

As fintech continues to reshape the global financial landscape, today’s briefing highlights pivotal developments, strategic expansions, and innovative launches across the industry. This op-ed explores the latest advancements with commentary on their potential impacts and challenges.


Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security

Source: KrebsOnSecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.

Implications and Challenges

While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.

The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.

Future Considerations

This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.

Strategic Revival

This move reflects PayPal’s commitment to customer-centric innovation. By reinstating a feature beloved by its user base, the company seeks to reclaim market share lost to emerging competitors offering similar functionalities.

Broader Industry Impacts

Money pooling represents a broader trend in fintech—customized solutions that cater to niche needs. This reintroduction may inspire competitors like Venmo and CashApp to refine their collaborative payment offerings.
