“It is always good to have the perspective of a full year of operations,” said David Costine, Chairman of Convalo. “We operate this business day-to-day, focused on revenue and profit growth and it is gratifying to review the year and see the growth we have created. Revenue increased more than 1,000% year-over-year with healthy gross margins. The operational executive team has done a good job in the last year of launching and ramping new facilities quickly. Stampp Corbin has also worked hard to improve the regulatory regime of the addiction rehabilitation market with respect to the insurers especially.”

“The majority of revenue generated was weighted toward the second half of the year, where through acquisition and launches, Convalo had just four facilities in operation,” continued Mr. Costine. “In the first fiscal quarter of this year, Convalo launched five additional facilities, taking our total centers to nine. I look forward to the financial results in the quarters to come as we see the impact of the investments we’ve made in doubling both our outpatient and detox capacity compared to the capacity at the reported fiscal year-end.”

Convalo’s 2016 audited year-end financial statements and accompanying Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) are available at www.sedar.com. All amounts are in Canadian dollars and are based on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying MD&A for the fiscal year (fifteen months) ending February 29, 2016 and related notes prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), unless otherwise noted.

Convalo also announced it has finalized the acquisition of the company that led to the launch of the West Los Angeles outpatient center announced March 30, 2015. Under the terms of the final agreement, the sellers have agreed to forego any cash consideration in exchange for shares. Convalo will issue a total of 4,350,000 shares to the sellers, subject to TSXV approval. The West Los Angeles outpatient center generated more than $3,275,000 in revenues since the executed purchase agreement, representing 15% of total sales for the audited year.

In order to catalyze its nationwide growth strategy and secure premier properties without impacting the balance sheet, Convalo has executed a master lease agreement with a real estate fund which compels the fund to acquire up to 16 residential properties at the sole direction of the Convalo board of directors. The total investment of the fund would be $9,600,000, but could exceed that amount with the consent of the fund if Convalo chooses more expensive properties. As part of this agreement, subject to TSXV approval, Convalo would issue an average of about 544,000 shares per property, or a total of 8,700,000 shares (even if the final purchase price exceeds $9,600,000). This compares to a prior transaction where 2,000,000 shares were issued in connection with a 5 year lease of a single commercial property involving a different real estate investment fund.

“This multi-year, nationwide real estate agreement assures Convalo can enter multiple new lucrative markets, while not tying up its own cash to acquire real estate assets that can be expected to provide a modest return on equity,” said Mr. Costine.

Update on Warrant Meeting Results

Convalo announced today that at a June 24, 2016 meeting of warrantholders, holders representing 40.77% of all warrants voted in person or by proxy voted in favour of the proposed amendment described in Convalo’s news release dated May 26, 2016 and meeting materials delivered to warrantholders. Accordingly, the original warrants will be automatically amended resulting in the warrants being exercisable for 21,562,500 common shares, half at $0.30 with a six month term and half at $0.38 with a nine month term. No action is required by warrantholders as their positions will be automatically adjusted by the warrant agent and CDS.

Convalo announced today that its shareholders approved a new 20% fixed number stock option plan (the “2016 Option Plan”) at Convalo’s Annual & Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 24, 2016 (the “2016 AGM”).

Convalo currently has 28,106,666 stock options outstanding (including 5,576,666 approved by shareholders at the 2016 AGM under the 2016 Option Plan).
