Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 5, 2020) – Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL) (OTCQX: CLABF) (FSE: LD61) (WKN: A14XHT) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent“), dated June 4, 2020, with Rejuva Alternative Medicine Research Centre Inc. (“Rejuva“) and Shahcor Health Services Inc. (“Shahcor“), pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Rejuva and one-quarter of the outstanding share capital of Shahcor (the “Transaction“).
Rejuva and Shahcor are privately-held companies which operate walk-in medical clinics located in Vancouver and West Vancouver, British Columbia, and maintain a database of over 200,000 patients. The Company intends to further develop its product offerings through research and development in these clinics. The clinics have a large patient base which can be accessed to conduct the research required to further develop the proprietary delivery methods used by the Company. Bioavailability of cannabis constituents in the Company’s CannaStripsTM infused strip allow for more efficient absorption of the active ingredients, reducing the amount of product a patient would need to take. Medical patients who want to receive alternative health treatments can use this less invasive way of treatment to help alleviate their symptoms and complications.
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including the satisfactory completion of due diligence, receipt of any required regulatory approvals, the negotiation of definitive documentation, and the Company completing a two-for-one consolidation of its common shares (the “Consolidation“). The Transaction cannot be completed until these conditions have been satisfied.
Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, in consideration for all of the outstanding share capital of Rejuva, the Company is expected to issue 23,000,000 post-Consolidation common shares to the existing shareholders of Rejuva. In consideration for one-quarter of the outstanding share capital of Shahcor, the Company is expected to make a one-time cash payment of $400,000 and to issue 5,555,556 post-Consolidation common shares to the existing shareholders of Shahcor.
The existing shareholders of Shahcor will also be eligible to receive a one-time bonus payment of $1,000,000 (the “Bonus Payment“) in the event Shahcor achieves monthly recurring revenue of at least $30,000 in the three months following completion of the Transaction. At the election of the Company, the Bonus Payment will be payable in cash, or post-consolidation common shares of the Company, based upon the volume-weighted average closing price of the common shares of the Company on the Canadian Securities Exchange in the ten trading days prior to the issuance of the shares.
The Company is at arms-length from each of Rejuva, Shahcor, and each of their respective shareholders. The Transaction is not expected to constitute a fundamental change for the Company, nor is it expected to result in a change of control of the Company, within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The Company also announces that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement (the “Financing“) of up to 42,105,263 pre-Consolidation units (each, a “Financing Unit“) at a price of $0.095 per Financing Unit for gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000. Each Financing Unit will consist of one pre-Consolidation common share of the Company, and one-half-of-one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional pre-Consolidation share at a price of $0.35 for a period of twenty-four months.
The Company anticipates utilizing the proceeds of the Financing for the evaluation of the Transaction, and other potential strategic acquisitions, and for general working capital purposes.
In connection with completion of the Financing, the Company may pay finders’ fees to eligible parties who have assisted in introducing subscribers to the Company. All securities to be issued in connection with the Financing will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Completion of the Financing is not contingent on completion of the Transaction.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities in the United States. The securities being offered in connection with the Financing have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws, and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons unless except pursuant to an effective registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
