CARESPAN HEALTH, INC. ANNOUNCES SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH GOLDEN CARE SOLUTIONS, A NATIONAL MEDICAL PRACTICE
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 30, 2023 /CNW/ – CareSpan Health, Inc. (TSXV: CSPN) (the “Company” or “CareSpan“), a company addressing the shortage in primary care and mental health through its provider networks, American-APN and American-Med Psych, and its leading “Clinic-in-the-Cloud” integrated digital care platform, is pleased to announce a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) agreement for the use of its digital care platform.
Golden Care Solutions (“GCS“) is a national medical practice that collaborates with other practices and providers nationwide to provide comprehensive preventive services built on Annual Wellness Visits, Remote Patient Monitoring, and Chronic Care Management.
Damon Kenton, GCS CEO comments, “We help improve outcomes for patients nationwide by identifying and addressing gaps in care. GCS clinicians improve patient outcomes and increase engagement while helping families reduce their cost of care. We selected CareSpan because it is easy to learn and utilize while meeting all our requirements, it accepts standardized datasets from our clients’ existing EHRs, and it will reduce our internal development expenditure.”
Carespan’s platform will be used to support GCS’s clinicians as they launch services with client practices in the next month.
According to Darrell Messersmith, CareSpan Chief Operating Officer, “As we collaborate with Golden Care Solutions, our team at CareSpan is eager to be able to work with GCS to implement our digital care platform with their providers. We firmly believe in our platform’s capability to reshape healthcare delivery, and this partnership is another testament to that vision. The SaaS nature of the agreement also allows us to diversify and expand revenue sources that support margin growth.”
Further to its news release dated February 22, 2023, the Company has reduced the exercise price of certain common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants“) issued on September 14, 2022 pursuant to the closing of a non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (for further details on such private placement see the Company’s news release dated on September 14, 2022). The exercise price of the Warrants from $0.40 to $0.17 per common share (the “Warrant Repricing“), in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).
Certain individuals who were/are each considered a “related party” (as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“)) hold the class of Warrants which were subject to the Warrant Repricing:
Related Party |
Warrants Held |
Rembert de Villa (Chief Executive Officer) |
260,700 |
William Bradford White |
1,200,000 |
ICME International AG* |
263,157 |
James Becker |
208,560 |
* ICME International AG is a healthcare consulting organization based in Germany and Switzerland, |
.
The Warrant Repricing constitutes a related party transaction as defined under MI 61-101. Such transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Warrants held by the interested party, nor the consideration for the Warrants paid by such interested party, exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
Pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, because Rembert de Villa, Holger Micheel-Sprenger, and James Becker beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the Warrants subject to the Warrant Repricing, the aggregate number of their Warrants that could be repriced was limited to 10% of the total number of repriced Warrants.
