Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 10, 2021) – Stormcrow Capital Inc. (TSXV: CROW.P) (“Stormcrow” or the “Company“) is providing an update on the arm’s length transaction with Highmark Interactive (“Highmark“), a company existing under the laws of Ontario, previously announced in a news release dated December 11, 2020, by which the parties intend to effect a reverse takeover of Stormcrow by Highmark, which transaction will constitute Stormcrow’s qualifying transaction under TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) Policy 2.4 (the “Proposed Transaction“). Trading in the common shares of Stormcrow (“Stormcrow Shares“) has been halted in accordance with TSXV policies since the date of the initial announcement, and will remain halted until such time as all required documentation has been filed with and accepted by the TSXV in connection with the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurances that the Proposed Transaction will be completed on the terms set out below or at all.

The Proposed Transaction

Prior to completion of the Concurrent Financing and the Acquisitions (each as described and defined below) Highmark currently has the following securities issued and outstanding: (i) 15,327,438 common shares (the “Highmark Shares“); (ii) 1,557,500 options; (iii) 1,677,495 warrants; and (iv) secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $231,400 (the “Highmark Notes“). Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction: (i) $81,400 in principal amount of the Highmark Notes (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) will be converted into Highmark Shares and warrants to purchase Highmark Shares on the same terms as the Warrant in the Concurrent Financing (each as defined below); (ii) holders of issued and outstanding Highmark Shares will receive Stormcrow Shares (post-consolidation) at a deemed issuance price of $0.60 per Stormcrow Share for each Highmark Share at a ratio to be determined after completion of the Concurrent Financing the (“Exchange Ratio“); and (iii) all options, warrants or other securities convertible into Highmark Shares shall be exchanged, based on the Exchange Ratio, for similar securities to purchase Stormcrow Shares on substantially similar terms and conditions. It is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Proposed Transaction, including the Concurrent Financing (as described below) and the Acquisitions, existing Highmark shareholders will hold approximately 91% of the Resulting Issuer Shares (on a non-diluted basis) with the existing shareholders of Stormcrow holding approximately 9%. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that Stormcrow will issue an aggregate of 35,674,503 post-Consolidation Stormcrow Shares to the shareholders of Highmark, on a pro-rata basis, on closing of the Proposed Transaction in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding securities of Highmark. The number of post-Consolidation Stormcrow Shares to be issued may be adjusted depending on the final Exchange Ratio determined by the parties to be appropriate in connection with the Proposed Transaction, which will depend on the number of securities issued by Highmark at a discount to $0.893 per share prior to the closing date of the Proposed Transaction, including securities issued in the Concurrent Financing.

It is intended that the Proposed Transaction will constitute Stormcrow’s “Qualifying Transaction” as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV. Stormcrow currently has 26,100,000 common shares outstanding (each, a “Stormcrow Common Share“), 2,610,000 outstanding stock options to acquire Stormcrow Shares at a price of $0.10 per Stormcrow Share expiring September 23, 2025 (the “Stormcrow Stock Options“) and 2,000,000 outstanding share purchase warrants to acquire Stormcrow Shares at a price of $0.10 per share expiring September 23, 2022 (the “Agent’s Warrants“).

As a result of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that Highmark will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stormcrow (the “Resulting Issuer” following completion of the Proposed Transaction) or otherwise combine its corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stormcrow. While the final structure of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to the receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice for both Stormcrow and Highmark, it is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the laws of Ontario (the “Amalgamation“), whereby Highmark will combine with a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of Stormcrow (“Stormcrow Subco“) in accordance with the terms of an amalgamation agreement to be entered into by Highmark, Stormcrow and Stormcrow Subco (the “Amalgamation Agreement“).

The Company and Highmark anticipate that upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will meet TSXV initial listing requirements for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Technology issuer.

Immediately prior to and as a condition to closing of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that Stormcrow will effect a name change to “Highmark Interactive Inc.” or such other name as is acceptable to Highmark and subject to regulatory approval (the “Name Change“), and shall complete the Consolidation. Stormcrow will seek the approval of its shareholders for the Name Change and Consolidation at a meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting“) to be held prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction. Notice of the Meeting will be posted on www.SEDAR.com under the Company’s profile.

At this time, the parties to the Proposed Transaction do not believe that approval of the Stormcrow shareholders for the Proposed Transaction is required under applicable TSXV policies due, in part, to the fact that the transaction is arms-length.

About Highmark Interactive

Highmark Innovations Inc., doing business as Highmark Interactive, is a private company incorporated under the laws of Ontario on July 17, 2014 under the name “Global Health Concierge Inc.”. Pursuant to articles of amendment dated February 14, 2017, Highmark changed its name to “Highmark Innovations Inc.” Highmark’s mission is to develop innovative software as a medical device focused on human neurological and psychological function, based on the following fundamental principles:

• Measurement of neurological and psychological function over time in a dynamic fashion as compared to traditional standards of static assessment;
• Presentation of data to clinicians in an intuitive format to facilitate better clinical decision making;
• Utilization of mobile devices as a primary means of software interaction;
• Gamification as a means of encouraging utilization; and
• Utilization of predictive analytics and machine learning to facilitate clinician’s interpretation of data.

Highmark reports its financial results on a combined basis with Highmark Health Corporation, (“Highmark Health“), as they are associated entities under common management, ownership and control. Highmark Health was founded in 2016 as a community-based multidisciplinary healthcare clinic focused on providing integrated specialty care to patients with a variety of injuries, but with a focus on patients who had suffered traumatic brain injury. The clinic’s mission was to use both established and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patient care, with a significant emphasis on the use of medical device technology. Highmark Health’s founders organically developed a strategy of creating their own medical device technology to service their patient population rather than rely on medical devices that were not, in the founders’ minds, as effective as they could be, resulting in the founding of Highmark. Highmark and Highmark Health are referred to as the “Highmark Group”.

The Highmark Group’s business strategy is to capitalize on the factors described above to create a new paradigm for significant growth and development based on identifying and acquiring clinical services businesses that have established competency and credibility in neurological and general rehabilitation that are suitable as a channel for technology sales and implementing Highmark’s medical device technology in the standard operating procedures of such clinical service businesses; leveraging efforts to offer “software as a service” to capture business to business customers in differentiated market verticals; providing virtual or in-person clinical services to patients utilizing Highmark’s technology solutions; identifying and acquiring synergistic medical device technology development organizations; and continued research and development of digital medicine technology using insights from an expanded clinical services organization’s day to day observations of the neurological, physical and psychological impacts of injury on patient populations.

The Resulting Issuer’s business upon completion of the Amalgamation will be the Highmark Group’s current high-growth, acquisitive hybrid clinical and digital healthcare business focused on brain and mental health.

In furtherance of its acquisitive growth strategy, Highmark has entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Highmark Health, as well as agreements to acquire each of BrainFx Inc. (“BrainFx“) and Complex Injury Rehab Inc. (“CIR“), both corporations existing under the OBCA that Highmark views as synergistic and complementary businesses.

BrainFx designs and develops mobile and virtual neurological performance testing software applications. BrainFx collects normative neurofunctional data focused on supporting a health provider’s ability to diagnose (if within their scope of practice), treat and augment. For some customers, BrainFx provides them with (off-the-shelf) hardware to access the hosted software. CIR was founded as a community-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic focused on providing integrated specialty care to patients with a variety of injuries, but with a specific focus on neurological or complex injuries, with a significant emphasis on functional cognitive and psychological performance technology for assessment and therapy. CIR has a reputation as a high quality effective rehabilitation service provider, and is a preferred referral source for complex cases from Personal Injury law firms, other health providers, patients and insurers. CIR’s founders also expanded their clinical service strategy to creating their own medical device technology to service their patient population rather than rely on medical devices that were not, in the founders’ minds, as effective as they could be, resulting in the founding of BrainFx and the creation of the BrainFx medical device software platform.

The acquisition of BrainFx will be completed prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, while the acquisitions of Highmark Health and CIR will be completed concurrently with the completion of the Proposed Transaction. The Acquisitions of BrainFx, Highmark Health, and CIR are referred to herein as the “Acquisitions“.

The significant shareholders of Highmark include the Sanjeev Sharma Family Trust, the Sunil Sharma Family Trust, and the Mazza Long Family Trust, each of which hold 3,100,000 Highmark Shares, or approximately 20.2% of the outstanding Highmark Shares. Each of the trusts described above are estate and tax planning vehicles governed by the laws of Ontario, and are respectively controlled by Sanjeev Sharma, Sunil Sharma, and Chris Mazza, as trustees.

Selected Financial Information

The following table sets out selected financial information with respect to Highmark as at the dates noted. The selected financial information is derived from Highmark’s unaudited financial statements for the periods described, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and denominated in Canadian dollars.

The Concurrent Financing

In conjunction with the Proposed Transaction, Highmark is expected to complete a brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing“) of subscription receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $7,500,000. The Concurrent Financing will be conducted by a syndicate of agents led by Beacon Securities Limited (“Beacon“), as lead agent, and which syndicate includes PI Financial Corp. and Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. (collectively with Beacon, the “Agents“). The Concurrent Financing will consist of the sale of (i) up to 6,578,947 unit subscription receipts of the Company (the “Unit Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $0.76 per Unit Subscription Receipt (the “Unit Offering Price“), and (ii) up to 2,500 unsecured subordinate convertible debenture subscription receipts (the “Debenture Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000 under the Concurrent Financing. The Agents have the option (the “Option“), which Option may be exercised in whole or in part, at the Agents’ sole discretion and without obligation, to sell up to an additional 1,315,789 Unit Subscription Receipts at the Unit Offering Price for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. The Option is exercisable by the Agents at any time until 48 hours prior to the closing, after which time the Option shall be void and of no further force and effect.

The gross proceeds raised in connection with the Concurrent Financing, less 50% of the Agents’ commission (the “Escrowed Funds“), will be delivered to and held in escrow on behalf of the subscribers by TSX Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent“) and invested in an interest-bearing account, or short-term obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the Government of Canada or any other investments that may be approved by Highmark, pending the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of certain escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions“) on or before the 120^th day after the closing of the Concurrent Financing (the “Termination Date“), in accordance with the provisions of an Agency Agreement to be entered into between Highmark, Stormcrow and the Agents, and a subscription receipt agreement to be respectively entered into with the Escrow Agent for each of the Unit Subscription Receipts and the Debenture Subscription Receipts.

As consideration for the Agents’ service in connection with the Concurrent Financing, Highmark will pay the Agents (i) a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Unit Subscription Receipts, including any proceeds in connection with the exercise of the Option (other than in respect of certain sales of Unit Subscription Receipts to investors identified on a “President’s List” by Highmark, for which Highmark shall pay the Agents a reduced cash commission equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of Unit Subscription Receipts to such purchasers), and (ii) a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering of the Debenture Subscription Receipts.

As additional consideration for their services in the Concurrent Financing, the Company will issue the Agents compensation options (“Compensation Options“) exercisable in whole or in part to acquire that number of Highmark Shares as is equal to 7.0% of (i) the total number of Unit Subscription Receipts issued and sold in the Concurrent Financing (other than in respect of Unit Subscription Receipts sold to persons on the President’s List, for which the number of Compensation Options shall be equal to 3.0% of the total number of Subscription Receipts issued and sold to persons on such list), where each Compensation Option issued in connection with the issuance and sale of the Unit Subscription Receipts will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Highmark Share at a price of $0.76 per Highmark Share at any time on or before the date which is 24 months following the Escrow Release Date; and (ii) the gross proceeds from the sale of the Debenture Subscription Receipts issued and sold pursuant to the Concurrent Financing divided by $0.95, where each Compensation Option issued in connection with the issuance and sale of the Debenture Subscription Receipts will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Highmark Share at a price of $0.95 at any time on or before the date which is 24 months following the Escrow Release Date.

Each Unit Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon automatic exchange in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement to be entered into with respect to such Unit Subscription Receipts, without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, one Highmark Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Highmark (each whole such warrant, a “Warrant“) upon the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of the Escrow Release Conditions on or before the Termination Date. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Highmark Share (or Resulting Issuer Share, as the case may be) at an exercise price of $1.15 per share for a period of two years from the Escrow Release Date. The Company will be entitled to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants upon notice to holders of Warrants should the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP“) of the Resulting Issuer Shares on the TSXV be greater than $1.75 for twenty consecutive trading days.

Pursuant to and in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement for the Debenture Subscription Receipts, and provided that the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied or waived prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, the Debenture Subscription Receipts shall each be automatically converted into, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances and without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action by the holder thereof, unsecured subordinate convertible debentures of Highmark in the principal amount of $1,000 (a “Convertible Debenture“). The Convertible Debentures shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the holders, into Highmark Shares at a price of $0.95 per Highmark Share and, following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Convertible Debentures shall be exchanged for convertible debentures of the Resulting Issuer, on economic and other terms which are substantially identical to the Convertible Debentures, subject to certain adjustment provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the date which is 12 months following the closing date of the Concurrent Financing, if the VWAP of the Resulting Issuer Shares on TSXV for any 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $1.90, the Resulting Issuer may notify the holders of the Resulting Issuer Debentures that the Resulting Issuer Debentures will be automatically converted into Resulting Issuer Shares at the Conversion Price 30 days following such notice.

The Resulting Issuer Debentures will bear interest from the closing date of the Concurrent Financing at an annual rate of 7.5%, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to TSXV approval, the Resulting Issuer, in its sole discretion, will be entitled to elect to pay accrued interest in Resulting Issuer Shares at an annual rate of 8.0% based on a price per share equal to the 5-day VWAP of the Resulting Issuer Shares on TSXV, provided that such price shall not be less than the minimum price mandated by TSXV pursuant to its policies. The Resulting Issuer Debentures will mature on the date which is 36 months following the closing date of the Concurrent Financing.

The Escrow Release Conditions comprise:

1. written confirmation from each of Highmark and Stormcrow that all conditions to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, including for certainty, the completion of the Acquisitions, have been satisfied or waived, other than the release of the Escrowed Funds (including the escrowed portions of the Agents’ commission) and the closing of the Proposed Transaction, including the closing of the Acquisitions, each of which will be completed forthwith upon release of the Escrowed Funds;

2. the receipt of all shareholder and regulatory approvals required for the Proposed Transaction;

3. the Definitive Agreement having been executed by Highmark and Stormcrow on terms not inconsistent with the letter of intent between Highmark and Stormcrow dated December 11, 2020;

5. the Resulting Issuer Shares being approved for listing on the TSX-V and the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to such listing, other than the release of the Escrowed Funds;

6. a warrant indenture for the Warrants, substantially in the form agreed to between Highmark and Beacon at closing of the Concurrent Financing, having been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto;

7. a debenture indenture for the debentures, substantially in the form agreed to between Highmark and Beacon at closing of the Concurrent Financing, having been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto;

8. such other customary escrow release conditions requested by Beacon, acting reasonably; and

9. the Company and Beacon, on behalf of the other Agents, having delivered a release notice to the Escrow Agent confirming that items (a) through (h), inclusive, have been satisfied (the “Release Notice“).

In the event that: (i) the Escrow Agent does not receive the Release Notice at or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Termination Date, or (ii) if prior to the Termination Date, the Company advises the subscribers or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, the Unit Subscription Receipts and the Debenture Subscription Receipts will be null and void and of no further effect, and the Escrow Agent will return to each holders of Unit Subscription Receipts and Debenture Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price of the subscription receipts held by such holder plus a pro rata portion of any interest and other income earned on the Escrowed Funds, less applicable withholding taxes, if any. Highmark will be responsible and liable to the holders of subscription receipts for any shortfall between the aggregate subscription price paid and the Escrowed Funds.

In the event the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, and the Proposed Transaction is completed, the Escrowed Funds will be released to Highmark. The Company intends to use the Escrowed Funds to fund the cash portion of the remaining purchase price of the Acquisitions, repay bridging finance for the acquisition of BrainFx, and to fund the working capital requirements of the company.
