Sunniva Inc. Announces Amended Terms And Closing Of The Previously Announced Sale Of Natural Health Services Ltd.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 19, 2019 /CNW/ -- Sunniva Inc. ("Sunniva", "we", "our" or the "Company") (CSE:SNN, OTCQB:SNNVF) and Cura-Can Health Corp. ("Cura-Can") are pleased to announce the closing of the previously reported sale (the "Transaction") of Sunniva's wholly-owned subsidiary, Natural Health Services Ltd. ("NHS") on December 18, 2019. The original share purchase agreement (the "Original Agreement") dated September 10, 2019 was amended and restated (the "Amended and Restated Agreement") to set out a revised transaction structure under which Cura-Can, instead of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Clinic Network Canada Inc. ("TCNC"), acquired NHS. Pursuant to the Transaction, Cura-Can paid a purchase price of CA $9,000,000 comprised of CA $250,000 in cash and CA $8,750,000 of security consideration through the issuance of 7,000,000 Class A common shares (the "Cura Shares") of Cura-Can (the "Consideration"). Sunniva is entitled to certain conversion rights for the Cura Shares based on Cura-Can's ability to effect a liquidity event for TCNC. The Consideration replaces the prior consideration for NHS pursuant to the Original Agreement of CA $4,500,000 million in cash and CA $4,500,000 million of security consideration through the issuance of 4,500,000 preferred shares of TCNC.
Dr. Anthony Holler, Sunniva's Chairman and CEO stated "This sale has been part of our ongoing process to dispose of our Canadian assets. We are pleased to have finalized this transaction with Cura-Can as we believe that these assets fit very well into TCNC's platform for the delivery of chronic pain treatment."
"Over the past year we have been expanding our chronic pain clinic network across Canada," said Kim Wei, Chief Strategy Officer of The Clinic Network Canada Inc. "We are excited to have completed the purchase of Natural Health Services from Sunniva as the NHS clinics provide us the opportunity to not only expand our existing chronic pain services within both clinic networks but will also enable us to offer an expanded range of pain treatment services which will pave the way for The Clinic Network to become a significant player in the growing out-of-hospital pain treatment industry in Canada."
A finder's fee of 5% of the gross proceeds from the Transaction is payable to certain non-registered entities for introducing certain potential acquirors to the Company.
