Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – October 27, 2020) – Greenstone Capital Corp. (TSXV: GSGS.P) (the “Company” or “Greenstone“), a capital pool company (“CPC“), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated October 23, 2020 (the “LOI“) to enter into an arm’s length business combination transaction (the “Proposed Transaction“) with Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. (“CHS“).
CHS is a vertically integrated software and services (SaaS) company focused on digitizing healthcare with Telehealth and Healthcare Benefits Administration solutions. Its state of the art NPS Novus Healthcare Welfare and Benefits Administration (HWBA) SaaS platform is used by clients for all aspects of healthcare benefit administration, providing reliable and high-volume transaction capable systems.
CHS upcoming “Telehealth” user-facing app available on the web, iOS and Android will be fully integrated with the HPS NOVUS Platform. 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
The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to (i) execution of a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) on or prior to November 30, 2020; (ii) the completion of the Concurrent Financings; (iii) the approval by the directors and shareholders (if required) of Greenstone and CHS, (iv) receipt of all requisite regulatory, stock exchange, or governmental authorizations (if any) and third party consents, including the Exchange; and (v) the completion of satisfactory due diligence by each of the parties. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all.
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, CHS and Greenstone have agreed not to solicit or negotiate with any other entities in regard to a transaction similar to the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the LOI contemplates that the directors and officers of Greenstone and the directors, officers and material shareholders of CHS would enter into support agreements whereby they will agree to vote their Greenstone Shares or CHS Shares, as applicable, in favour of the Proposed Transaction and matters ancillary thereto at any meeting of shareholders called for such purpose.
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
At the Company’s request, trading in Greenstone’s Shares has been halted by the Exchange. Trading is expected to remain halted until, at the earliest, the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
General
Other than adjustments required to reflect the Proposed Transaction exchange ratios, none of the terms of any outstanding securities of Greenstone would be amended and the Resulting Issuer will honour all of Greenstone’s existing obligations to issue securities, including, without limitation, the share purchase warrants issued in connection with Greenstone’s initial public offering and all outstanding stock options. Each of Greenstone and CHS will bear their own costs in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
Additional disclosure concerning CHS as required pursuant to Policy 2.4 (inclusive of the requisite financial statement disclosure with respect to CHS), the Resulting Issuer and the Concurrent Financings will be included in a subsequent news release and also included in the disclosure document prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction.
