TORONTO, ON, April 21, 2021 – Pathway Health Corp. (TSXV: PHC) (Frankfurt: KL1) (formerly Colson Capital Corp.) (“Pathway” or the “Company”), an integrated healthcare company that provides products and services to patients suffering from chronic pain and related conditions, is pleased to announce that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Wellbeing Digital Sciences Inc. (“Wellbeing”) pursuant to which Pathway would acquire certain Canadian assets of Wellbeing. The contemplated transaction is expected to be completed in two stages, all concluding on or before June 30, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MOU, Pathway would acquire a license for the pain management program of Wellbeing’s wholly owned subsidiary, IRP Health Ltd. (“IRP”), and the intellectual property (“IP”) associated with the provision of intravenous ketamine services (“IVK”) to treat mental health conditions, among other assets. The MOU also outlines a fractional franchise model for IRP and related fee structure. The first closing is contemplated to include IRP and IVK on or before April 30, 2022, while the second closing is contemplated to include the remaining assets documented in the MOU on or before June 30, 2022. The consideration for the assets is under final negotiation.

Wellbeing is an evidence-based mental healthcare company focused on the development and implementation of innovative clinical solutions, such as psychedelic medicine and digital therapeutics supported by clinical research. IRP, its wholly owned subsidiary, provides multi-disciplinary rehabilitation services to military veterans, RCMP and first responders. Under the contemplated transaction, IRP would provide IP and support services related to staff training, branding, licensing, and program development including verification of Pathway clinic locations with Veterans Affairs Canada to serve more patients. The completion of the completed transaction is subject to terms and conditions which include but are not limited to the execution of a set of definitive agreements, completion of satisfactory due diligence, the delivery and satisfactory review of the financial statements and the approval of the transaction by the boards of directors of all applicable entities.

“We’re very pleased to be entering into this agreement with Wellbeing and IRP as we expand our pain and mental health services to our miliary veterans, RCMP and other first responders,” said Ken Yoon, CEO at Pathway Health. According to a 2021 research paper published by the Journal of Military, Veteran, and Family Health1, veterans appear to be particularly vulnerable to experiencing chronic pain, with rates that are two to three times higher than in the general population.

We feel very honoured to be taking on this role.”

We look forward to solidifying this agreement,” added Steven Inglefield, Chief Operating Officer of Wellbeing and Chief Executive Officer of IRP.
