GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN–(Marketwired – Aug. 2, 2017) –
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Agility Health Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AHI) (“Agility Health” or, the “Company“), a leading provider of rehabilitation services, orthotics and software services, today announced that the Company intends to complete a private placement offering (the “Private Placement“) of up to 36,000,000 units (the “Units“) at a purchase price of CAD$0.10 per Unit for total gross proceeds of CAD$3,600,000. Each Unit is comprised of one voting common share and one-half of one voting common share purchase warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants“). Each whole Private Placement Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one voting common share at a price of CAD$0.14 for a one-year period from the date of the closing of the Private Placement. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for working capital purposes, including the ongoing development of additional clinics. The voting common shares issuable pursuant to the Private Placement and upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after closing. The Private Placement is subject to stock exchange approval. The Private Placement is being pursued in conjunction with discussions the Company is having with certain potential investors and lenders in the United States who may provide a combination of debt and equity financing of approximately USD$40,000,000 to restructure the Company’s balance sheet.
CJC Holdings Inc., an insider of the Company, intends to sell up to 8,000,000 voting common shares of Agility in the market and to subscribe for up to $800,000 of Units. CJC Holdings Inc. is a related party of Agility under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). Agility is exempt from the formal valuation requirement and shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101, as described in more detail in the material change report to be filed in connection with this Private Placement. Having regard to these exemptions and the Company’s desire to close the Private Placement as soon as possible, the Company believes that it is reasonable to close the Private Placement less than 21 days after the date of this news release.
The Company also announces that, in accordance with the financial advisory agreement between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim“) announced on January 31, 2017, Agility Health issued a total of 113,411 voting common shares to an affiliate of Maxim in consideration for services rendered by Maxim to the Company during the period from July 1, 2017 to July 31, 2017. The shares were issued at CAD$0.09 per share, the closing price of the voting common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on July 31, 2017, and are subject to a four-month hold period.
