/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION
IN THE UNITED STATES./
- Clinic 360 works with more than a dozen specialists and surgeons, maintaining two highly equipped operating rooms with capacity to contribute to addressing provincial elective surgery backlog
- Clinic 360 will become consumer of all Think Research digital health SaaS products, showcasing clinical best practices for clinicians, enabling instant feedback to refine Think Research's software and bringing new products to market faster
- A meaningful and immediate contributor of revenue and accretive profit. As of December 31, 2020, Clinic 360 generated trailing twelve-month revenue of approximately $3.9 million (unaudited) and EBITDA of approximately $0.8mm (unaudited).
TORONTO, Jan. 29, 2021 /CNW/ - Think Research Corporation (TSXV: THNK) or (the "Company" or "Think Research"), a company focused on transforming healthcare through integrated digital health solutions, today announced that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Clinic 360 Inc. ("Clinic 360"), an innovator and leader in elective and cosmetic surgery, in exchange for cash and shares of TRC (the "Transaction").
Sachin Aggarwal, CEO of Think Research, said, "We are making significant changes to how patients and clinicians experience the continuum of care and being at the core of where we want the change to happen is key. Working closely with Clinic 360, we will be able to refine and add to our library of knowledge-based surgical decision support tools with instant and direct feedback from the surgeons using it. Clinic 360 will also leverage our telemedicine platform to provide virtual consults and become part of the Think Research-led Ontario e-referrals network. It's an opportunity that makes sense financially, but also, importantly, provides us with hands-on access to the frontline where our products are being used."
This acquisition builds on the previously announced acquisition by Think Research of Healthcare Plus, a network of seven digital-first primary, specialty and allied care clinics.
Dr. Magdi Gaid, lead physician at Clinic 360, said, "We are excited to become part of the Think Research network and to use these transformative solutions to change the way we care for our patients and improve how we connect to the broader healthcare system. The existing elective surgery backlog in Ontario is more than two years long, according to some published reports, and this shift to evidence-based digital care delivery will also help position us to play a role in addressing that issue."
Details of the Transaction
- Consideration for the Transaction consisted of: (a) a cash payment of $250,000; and (b) the issuance of a total of 1,127,732 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares"), in each case, pro rata to the vendors of Clinic 360.
- On closing, a finder's fee was paid to Baker Tilly Vaughan Valuations Inc. via the issuance of 55,285 Common Shares.
- All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars.
