Colson Capital Corp. and The Clinic Network Canada Inc. Announce Proposed Qualifying Transaction

Not for distribution in the U.S. or to U.S. newswire services.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Colson Capital Corp. (TSXV: COLSP) (“Colson” or the “Corporation“) and The Clinic Network Canada Inc. (“TCNC”), through its parent holding corporation, are pleased to announce that they have entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) dated September 12, 2020 with respect to a proposed reverse takeover whereby Colson will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of a newly incorporated federal corporation, Pathway Health Corp. (“SpinCo”), following the acquisition by SpinCo of all of the business and assets of TCNC in consideration for the issuance of common shares of the Corporation (the “Transaction”).

Colson intends that the Transaction will constitute its Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined in the Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (the “CPC Policy”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The deemed price of the Qualifying Transaction is $1.428 million. The Corporation, upon completion of the Transaction, expects to change its name to “Pathway Health Corp.” or such other name as may be approved by TCNC’s parent holding corporation (the “Name Change”), such entity to be referred to herein as the “Resulting Issuer”. The Transaction does not constitute a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, as such term is described in the CPC Policy of the TSXV.

The Resulting Issuer will own and operate medical clinics across Canada that offer multidisciplinary therapies for patients that suffer from chronic pain and certain other disease states. TCNC was founded in 2017 and operates virtual and bricks-and-mortar medical clinics across Canada that offer multidisciplinary therapies for patients. TCNC is incorporated pursuant to the federal laws of Canada. The price paid for the TCNC assets by SpinCo shall be satisfied by the payment of between $3 – $5 million in cash with the remainder to be paid by such number of shares of SpinCo equal to the balance of the purchase price owed to TCNC divided by the final purchase price of a Subscription Receipt (as described below) under the Offering (as described below).


General Information Regarding the Transaction

The Transaction is expected to be structured as a reverse takeover (“RTO”) under the rules and policies of the TSXV. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will continue to carry on the business of TCNC.

The purchase price for the acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of SpinCo will be satisfied through the issuance of common shares of the Corporation to the shareholders of SpinCo, to ultimately form the Resulting Issuer.

The transaction terms outlined in the LOI are non-binding, and the Transaction is subject to the parties successfully entering into a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) in respect of the Transaction by January 15, 2021, or such other date as Colson and TCNC’s parent holding corporation may mutually agree. The LOI also contemplates other material conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), including the completion by SpinCo of a concurrent financing of subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt, to raise minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (the “Offering”), SpinCo owning or holding all intellectual property assets necessary for the operation of the business of TCNC as it is currently conducted and contemplated, customary due diligence, compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and receipt of all necessary regulatory, corporate, third-party, board and shareholder approvals being obtained.


Summary of th


e Offering

In connection with the Transaction, Colson, TCNC and TCNC’s parent holding corporation have entered into an engagement letter with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”), as agent, in connection with the Offering. Under the terms of the Offering, the Agent has been granted an over-allotment option to place up to an additional 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts issuable under the Offering for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.

On closing of the Offering, the proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement. Proceeds of the Offering will be used to expand the Resulting Issuer’s portfolio of clinics across Canada, expand its distribution channels and add interdisciplinary pain services to its clinics.

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one unit of SpinCo (each, a “Unit”), on the date that: (i) all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction have been satisfied to the satisfaction of the parties but for payment of the cash portion of the purchase price to be paid by SpinCo for the operating assets of TCNC; (ii) the Agent has received an officers’ certificate from the officers of each of Colson and SpinCo that each party has instructed its counsel to issue the underlying securities upon the release of funds; and (iii) a joint notice from Colson and SpinCo to the Agent stating that the Transaction has been completed and all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been satisfied or waived (the “Escrow Release Date”). Each Unit shall consist of one common share of SpinCo and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common share of SpinCo for a period of 24 months from the Escrow Release Date at an exercise price of $0.75 per common share.


Finder’s Fee

In connection with the proposed Transaction, Colson entered into a finder’s fee agreement dated as of September 10, 2020 with Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. (the “Finder”), as finder. As compensation for the Finder’s introduction of Colson and the TCNC group of companies, should the Transaction be completed, the Resulting Issuer will pay to the Finder an amount equal to 5.0% of the deemed value of Colson as constituted immediately prior to Closing. The Finder is not a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) of the Corporation. The finder’s fee is expected to be paid in cash, and shall be subject to approval of the TSXV.


Additional Information

If and when a Definitive Agreement between the Corporation and SpinCo is executed, the Corporation will issue a subsequent press release in accordance with the policies of the TSXV containing the details of the Definitive Agreement and additional terms of the Transaction including information relating to sponsorship, summary financial information in respect of TCNC and SpinCo, and additional information with respect to the Offering and the proposed directors, officers, and insiders of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to, completion of the Offering, the satisfaction of the Corporation and TCNC’s parent holding corporation in respect of the due diligence investigations to be undertaken by each party, the completion of a Definitive Agreement in respect of the Transaction, closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Transaction, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction, TSXV acceptance of the Transaction as the Qualifying Transaction of Colson and, if required by the TSXV policies, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approvals are obtained and there can be no assurance that the Transaction or the Offering will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

Garrett Motion Supplies Custom Turbos for Global Manufacturer’s Launch of New Off-Highway Commercial Vehicle Lineup

Garrett Motion Supplies Custom Turbos for Global Manufacturer’s Launch of New Off-Highway Commercial Vehicle Lineup

  • Advanced single- and two-stage turbos enable reliable performance while improving fuel economy and reducing emissions
  • Innovative turbo design allows for broader application range to reduce portfolio complexity and increase productivity

ROLLE, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Garrett Motion Inc., a leading differentiated technology provider for the automotive industry, today announced its advanced turbocharging technologies have been deployed in support of a recent launch by a global manufacturer of harvesters, combines, excavators and other agricultural equipment.

“Our custom single- and two-stage turbo applications successfully address three critical pain points for this global customer,” said Garrett Vice President and General Manager of Commercial Vehicles Aileen McDowall. “First, we helped to increase total vehicle fuel efficiency by 20% in an important use case where our new bosting architecture gave the vehicle enough autonomy to eliminate unnecessary refueling journeys. Second, we enabled the customer to achieve greater productivity by creating a two-stage setup for multiple off-highway applications. And finally, the unmatched durability of our products provides a versatile solution capable of delivering high performance in diverse duty cycles ranging between 8,000 and 12,000 hours in duration, while reducing maintenance costs and increasing vehicle uptime.”

Garrett’s innovative technology and packaging designs allowed the manufacturer to replace 15 part numbers from its previous turbo supplier with just three from Garrett while still supporting a host of diverse commercial vehicle applications, including sugarcane harvesters, cotton pickers and dump trucks. Garrett’s design not only helped reduce portfolio complexity by eliminating a dozen part numbers, but also led to a smaller packaging requirement, leading to a slimmer hood line.

In this instance, Garrett developed an advanced aerodynamic package for the compressor stage of the turbocharger, which will be matched to a 13.6L engine. In certain applications, the manufacturer stated a combine harvester with this updated engine can now run for up to 14 hours without refueling, resulting in a total reduction of fuel consumed of up to 20% while enabling vehicles to meet stringent emissions standards.

“Garrett has been synonymous with off-highway commercial vehicle innovation since our inception more than 65 years ago,” added McDowall. “We are proud to support one of the world’s most renowned manufacturing companies develop the necessary tools for providing global communities with their most essential goods – from farm-fresh produce and materials for textiles to rare earth metals and everything in between.”

About Garrett Motion Inc.

Garrett Motion is a differentiated technology leader, serving customers worldwide for more than 65 years with passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, aftermarket replacement and performance enhancement solutions. Garrett’s cutting-edge technology enables vehicles to become safer, more connected, efficient and environmentally friendly.

While the pandemic has made it difficult to volunteer in person, this initiative will empower every associate to donate financial resources to the cause most important to them this Giving Tuesday and holiday season.”

The CarMax Foundation is dedicated to supporting the causes our associates care about, contributing almost $9M in Matching Gifts to nearly 3,000 nonprofit organizations to date. Each ”Care Card” will be valid for donation through January 31, 2021.
