Nightingale Announces Completion of Previously Announced Private Placement

MARKHAM, ON, Nov. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Nightingale Informatix Corporation (TSX-V: NGH) ("Nightingale" or the "Corporation") announced that it had completed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of one (1) unsecured convertible note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $2,500,000 to Brian Schachter, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Purchaser"), as described in its November 21, 2013 press release. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by the Corporation for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Private Placement, and as described in the November 21, 2013 press release, the Corporation will hold a special meeting of shareholders on December 31, 2013 (the "Meeting") to consider, and if deemed appropriate, pass a resolution approving the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") upon the Purchaser's exercise of the Note's conversion provisions. Such approval is required because the exercise of the Conversion Right would result in the Purchaser becoming a "control person", as that term is defined under the applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").

In connection with the Private Placement, certain insiders and shareholders holding 50.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (excluding those held by the Purchaser or his associates and affiliates) have entered into "lock-up agreements" with the Corporation, thereby agreeing to vote their Common Shares in favour of a resolution approving completion of the Private Placement at the meeting. Assuming shareholder approval is received and the Purchaser does not otherwise elect to convert the Note into Common Shares, the Corporation may elect to do so by providing notice to the Purchaser in advance of the note's maturity date.

"Once approved by the shareholders, this note will convert to equity which, coupled with the recently announced special conversion of the Series B debentures, will increase the Company's equity by as much as $5.0 million," said Sam Chebib, CEO of Nightingale. "This equity injection will strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to execute on our organic growth plan during the launch of Nexia and the related transition to a SaaS revenue model. We believe that we are well capitalized now to execute on our organic growth plan in this exciting market".

As the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction", in accordance with the requirements of the TSX-V, shareholder approval must be sought at the Meeting in accordance with the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, whereby the voting rights attached to the Common Shares beneficially owned or over which control is exercised by the Purchaser, as well as his associates and affiliates, will be excluded from determining whether or not the Private Placement has been approved.

The Private Placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX-V.
