TORONTO, March 14, 2024 /CNW/ - LifeSpeak Inc. (TSX: LSPK) ("LifeSpeak" or the "Company"), a leading provider of mental, physical, and family wellbeing solutions for employers, health plans, and other organizations, announced today that it has issued 8,096,588 common shares ("Common Shares") to subscribers of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") at a price of $0.60791 per Common Share (the "Subscription Price"). The Company expects to issue an additional 128,308 Common Shares at the Subscription Price in the coming days as the remaining de minimus amounts from confirmed subscribers are received. Aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement are approximately $5.0 million.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to repay the Company's outstanding senior indebtedness such that its resulting senior indebtedness will be $66,412,500. The Company anticipates that the amortization of the senior indebtedness will be approximately $1.8 million per quarter for 2024.

"The participation from senior management and members of our board of directors in this Private Placement demonstrates our conviction and confidence in LifeSpeak's business moving forward," said Michael Held, CEO and Founder of LifeSpeak. "It also represents a positive step towards de-levering the Company while we maintain our focus on growing the business."

Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, the Common Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day following the closing date.
