Viemed Announces Further Details of Plan of Arrangement and Engagement of IR Firm

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA–(Marketwired – Jan. 9, 2018) – Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company” or “Viemed“) (TSX VENTURE:VMD) announces, further to the Company’s news release dated December 22, 2017 in respect of the Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement“) involving the Company, Patient Home Monitoring Corp. (“PHM“) and the securityholders of PHM, that the exercise prices of the Company’s outstanding stock options and common share purchase warrants have been determined in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement.

As a result of the Arrangement, among other things, shareholders of PHM (the “PHM Shareholders“), as of close of business on December 21, 2017, received one new PHM common share (a “New PHM Share“) and one-tenth (1/10) of one common share of Viemed (a “Viemed Share“) for each common share of PHM held by such PHM Shareholder immediately before the completion of the Arrangement. Also in connection with the Arrangement, (a) for each stock option of PHM held (an “Old PHM Option“), each option holder that remained employed or engaged by PHM was to receive one option to purchase from PHM one New PHM Share (a “New PHM Option“) and PHM option holders employed or engaged by Viemed were to receive one New PHM Option (which will expire three months following completion of the Arrangement) and one tenth (1/10) of one option to purchase from Viemed one Viemed Share (a “Viemed Option“), and (b) for each common share purchase warrant of PHM held (an “Old PHM Warrant“), each warrant holder was to receive one warrant to purchase from PHM one New PHM Share (a “New PHM Warrant“) and one tenth (1/10) of one warrant to purchase from Viemed one Viemed Share (a “Viemed Warrant“).

In accordance with the terms of the Arrangement, the exercise prices of the Viemed Options and Viemed Warrants have now been determined based on the respective trading prices of PHM and Viemed for the five trading days following completion of the Arrangement, such that the exercise price of each outstanding Viemed Option and Viemed Warrant will be equal to the exercise price of the Old PHM Warrants and Old PHM Options multiplied by 0.4222 multiplied by ten (to account for the one tenth consolidation) (the “Exchange Ratio“).

As a result of the foregoing adjustments, Viemed has 878,298 Viemed Options outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from .44 to .44 and expiry dates ranging from February 9, 2018 to July 28, 2025.

In addition, each Old PHM Warrant will be cancelled effective January 9, 2018 and deemed to be exchanged for one New PHM Warrant and one-tenth of a Viemed Warrant, such that Viemed will have the following Viemed Warrants outstanding:

• 178,800 Viemed Warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Viemed Share until August 27, 2019 (subject to acceleration in certain circumstances) with an exercise price of .60 (being {$content}.45 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio), representing Viemed Warrants issued in exchange for Old PHM Warrants issued under a Warrant Indenture dated August 27, 2014;
• 2,242,304 Viemed Warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Viemed Share until May 4, 2018 (subject to acceleration in certain circumstances) with an exercise price of .40 (being .80 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio), representing Viemed Warrants issued in exchange for Old PHM Warrants issued under a Warrant Indenture dated May 4, 2015; and
• 179,400 Viemed Warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Viemed Share until May 4, 2018 (subject to acceleration in certain circumstances) with an exercise price of .67 (being .50 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio), representing Viemed Warrants issued in exchange for Old PHM Warrants originally issued as broker warrants.

All awards vest one-third per year commencing on January 4, 2019 and those issued to officers and directors of Viemed will be subject to a TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) four month hold.
