General Information Regarding the Transaction

The Transaction is expected to be structured as a reverse takeover (“RTO”) under the rules and policies of the TSXV.  Upon completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will continue to carry on the business of TCN.

The purchase price for the acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of Pathway will be satisfied through the issuance of common shares of Colson to the shareholders of Pathway, to ultimately form the Resulting Issuer.

The transaction terms outlined in the LOI are non-binding, and the Transaction is subject to the parties successfully entering into a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) in respect of the Transaction by January 15, 2021, or such other date as Colson and TCN’s parent holding corporation may mutually agree. The LOI also contemplates other material conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), including the completion by Pathway of a concurrent financing of subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt, to raise minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (the “Offering”), Pathway owning or holding all intellectual property assets necessary for the operation of the business of TCN as it is currently conducted and contemplated, customary due diligence, compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and receipt of all necessary regulatory, corporate, third-party, board and shareholder approvals being obtained.

Summary of the Offering

In connection with the Transaction, Colson, TCN and TCN’s parent holding corporation have entered into an engagement letter with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”), as agent, in connection with the Offering.  Under the terms of the Offering, the Agent has been granted an over-allotment option to place up to an additional 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts issuable under the Offering for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.

On closing of the Offering, the proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement. Proceeds of the Offering will be used to expand the Resulting Issuer’s portfolio of clinics across Canada, expand its distribution channels and add interdisciplinary pain services to its clinics.

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one unit of Pathway (each, a “Unit”), on the date that: (i) all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction have been satisfied to the satisfaction of the parties but for payment of the cash portion of the purchase price to be paid by Pathway for the operating assets of TCN; (ii) the Agent has received an officers’ certificate from the officers of each of Colson and Pathway that each party has instructed its counsel to issue the underlying securities upon the release of funds; and (iii) a joint notice from Colson and Pathway to the Agent stating that the Transaction has been completed and all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been satisfied or waived (the “Escrow Release Date”). Each Unit shall consist of one common share of Pathway and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common share of Pathway for a period of 24 months from the Escrow Release Date at an exercise price of $0.75 per common share.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to, completion of the Offering, the satisfaction of Colson and TCN’s parent holding corporation in respect of the due diligence investigations to be undertaken by each party, the completion of a Definitive Agreement in respect of the Transaction, closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Transaction, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction, TSXV acceptance of the Transaction as the Qualifying Transaction of Colson and, if required by the TSXV policies, majority of the minority shareholder approval.
