TORONTO, March 16, 2021 /CNW/ – Pathway Health, Corp. (“Pathway” or the “Company“), a subsidiary of The Clinic Network Canada Inc., and Colson Capital Corp. (TSXV: COLSP) (“Colson“), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“), are pleased to announce that Pathway has completed the previously announced private placement (the “Private Placement“) in connection with the previously announced proposed reverse take-over of Colson by Pathway (the “Qualifying Transaction“).

The Private Placement was completed through a syndicate of agents, led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., and included iA Private Wealth Inc. and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (collectively, the “Agents“). Pursuant to the Private Placement, Pathway issued 27,600,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $13,800,000. The gross proceeds from the Private Placement, less a portion of the fees and expenses of the Agents (the “Escrowed Funds”), have been delivered to AST Trust Company (Canada) (“AST“), as the subscription receipt agent. The Escrowed Funds shall be held by AST until the waiver and/or satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including, but not limited to, the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Qualifying Transaction (other than the release of the Escrowed Funds), the receipt of all shareholder and regulatory approvals required for the Qualifying Transaction and other customary escrow conditions for a transaction of this nature as described in the Company’s press release dated February 2, 2021 (the “Escrow Release Conditions“).

The Private Placement was completed in connection with the Qualifying Transaction between the Company and Colson, initially announced on November 30, 2020 and updated on February 2, 2021. Subject to approval by the Exchange, the Qualifying Transaction will be completed by way of a share exchange agreement dated January 29, 2021 between the Company, Colson and each of its securityholders (the “Share Exchange Agreement“). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Colson shall purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pathway in exchange for the issuance of post-consolidation common shares in the capital of Colson, resulting in the reverse take-over of Colson by Pathway to form the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer“). Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is the intention of the parties that the Resulting Issuer will continue on the business of Pathway.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration, for units (“Units“) of Pathway, each Unit will be comprised of one Class A share of Pathway (each a “Pathway Share“) and one-half of a Pathway Share purchase warrant (each whole Pathway Share purchase warrant, a “Pathway Warrant“). Each Pathway Share and each Pathway Warrant will, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement, subsequently be exchanged for one common share of the Resulting Issuer (“Resulting Issuer Shares“) and one common share purchase warrant of the Resulting Issuer (“Resulting Issuer Warrants“). In addition, the Agent’s Warrants will also be exchanged for equivalent instruments of the Resulting Issuer exercisable for Resulting Issuer Shares.

Aside from: Wayne Cockburn, an officer of Pathway; Ken Yoon, an officer of Pathway; Aura Balboa, an officer of Pathway; and Kim Wei, an officer of Pathway, and his spouse, none of the Non-Arm’s Length Parties (such term as defined in the policies of the Exchange) to the Company and Colson participated in the Private Placement.

A portion of the net proceeds raised from the Private Placement will be used by Pathway to pay a promissory note in relation to the acquisition of assets from The Clinic Network Canada Inc. and the remainder will be used for general working capital.
