Carebook Closes Convertible Debt Financing
MONTREAL, Sept. 30, 2022 /CNW/ - Carebook Technologies Inc. ("Carebook" or the "Company") (TSXV: CRBK) (OTCPK: CRBKF) (XETR: PMM1), a leading Canadian provider of innovative digital health solutions, is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced $1 million private placement of convertible debt (the "Transaction").
"We are very pleased with this Transaction and wish to thank our major shareholders for their continuing support and their reaffirmed endorsement of our strategy. As previously announced, we intend to pursue additional financing opportunities, continue to work closely with potential financing sources and intend to update the market in due course on our financing initiatives" stated Michael Peters, Carebook's Chief Executive Officer.
As previously announced, the Company entered on September 28, 2022 into amended and restated loan agreements ( the "Loan Agreements") with each of SAYKL Investments Ltd. and UIL Limited (each, a "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders") pursuant to which the Company agreed with the Lenders to amend the terms of the Loan Agreements in order to (i) provide an additional $1 million to the Company, bringing the aggregate principal amount outstanding to the Lenders to $2 million as at the date hereof, and (ii) add a conversion into common shares feature at a conversion price of $0.175 per common share.
The TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the Transaction and the listing of the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the loans.
Each of the Lenders is a "related party" of the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As a result, the Transaction is considered to be a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by MI 61-101, requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain minority shareholder approval of the "related party transaction". The Company has relied on an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement set out in MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to closing, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds of the Transaction in an expeditious manner. The Company intends to file a material change report within 10 days following closing, which will contain all prescribed disclosure relating to this related party transaction.
