CareRx Corporation (“
CareRx” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: CRRX), Canada’s leading provider
of specialty pharmacy services to seniors, is pleased to announce
that it has entered into an amended agreement pursuant to which
Eight Capital and Cormark Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriters
and joint bookrunners, together with a syndicate of underwriters
(collectively, the “
Underwriters”), have now
agreed to purchase on a “bought deal” basis 3,059,000 common shares
of the Company (the “
Shares”) at a price of $4.25
per Share (the “
Issue Price") for aggregate gross
proceeds to CareRx of $13,000,750 (the
“
Offering”).
The Company has granted the Underwriters an
option, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time not later
than 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up
to an additional 15% of the Shares at the Issue Price for market
stabilization purposes and to cover over-allotments, if any (the
“Over-Allotment Option”). If the Over-Allotment
Option is exercised in full, the total gross proceeds of the
Offering will be approximately $14,950,000.
The Shares will be offered by way of (i) a
prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus
Supplement”) to CareRx’s short form base shelf prospectus
dated September 17, 2020, which Prospectus Supplement will be filed
with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory
authorities in each of the provinces of Canada; (ii) in the United
States by way of private placement pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided for under Rule 144A of the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (iii) in jurisdictions
outside of Canada and the United States as are agreed to by the
Company and the Underwriters on a private placement or equivalent
basis.
Concurrent with the closing of the Offering, the
Company expects to complete a non-brokered private placement of
1,176,470 common shares, at the Issue Price, for aggregate gross
proceeds of $5,000,000, to Yorkville Asset Management Inc. for and
on behalf of certain managed funds and Dr. Jack Shevel, each of
whom are existing major shareholders of the Company.
The net proceeds of the Offering and the
Concurrent Private Placement are expected to be used to satisfy the
$4 million cash component of the purchase price payable at closing
in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of SmartMeds
Pharmacy Inc., and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
Each of the Offering and the Concurrent Private
Placement is expected to close on or about February 3, 2021 and is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the
receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the
Toronto Stock Exchange.
The securities being offered have not been, nor
will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any
sale of the securities in any State in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
