CBP China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2014) - The Board of Directors of Certive Solutions Inc. (the "Company or Certive") (CSE:CBP) is pleased to announce the signing of a letter of intent to acquire substantially all of the assets of Titan Health Management Solutions Inc. ("Titan") of Tucson, Arizona.

Titan specializes in partnering with hospitals to enhance their revenue cycle management. Titan provides a wide range of services, including zero balance audit and recovery, denial management, early out / insurance accounts receivable collections, third party liability collections, and billing and collection support services. Titan has developed expertise and unique processes that enhance revenue and assist hospital financial services staff, recovering over USD$10,000,000 annually for its hospital partners. Titan has established credibility as a valuable resource to hospitals and works diligently to identify and recover previously unidentified sources of revenue without impacting the hospital's already overburdened administrative staff. With over 40 employees engaged in the revenue cycle process at Titan's Arizona offices, and over 25 hospitals currently under contract, Titan is a valuable resource to its hospital partners. Titan was proud to celebrate its 12th year of operations in February.

On March 11, 2014 Certive announced a strategic relationship with Titan and on March 20, 2014, Certive and Titan jointly announced the launch of a claims recovery collaboration for a group of medical practitioners located in Phoenix, Arizona. During this period of time, it became apparent that Titan and Certive could mutually benefit by combining technology, business development, financing, and domain expertise.

The combination brings to Certive a legacy business with quantified revenue and customers, established credibility in the U.S. hospital revenue lifecycle recovery market, as well as deep connectivity with senior executives and decision makers presently employed by U.S. hospitals. Titan presently generates approximately USD$2,000,000 in gross revenues annually and is on track to achieve an annualized revenue run rate of approximately USD$6,000,000 by December 31, 2014.

For Titan, the combination represents access to technologies that will provide immediate and long-term scale to its business and the capital necessary to effectively expand sales and marketing efforts that drive significant growth.

Certive and Titan will enter into a definitive acquisition agreement whereby the consideration for the acquisition of the operating assets and intellectual properties of Titan (Titan Assets) will be paid for by cash, a convertible note, common shares by way of a bonus and preferred shares that are convertible into common shares on the occurrence of certain stated events. The consideration contemplated in the definitive acquisition agreement will include a convertible promissory note setting out the terms upon which conversion into common shares of Certive may occur and the deemed exercise timing and price. The definitive acquisition agreement will also include the timing for payment of the cash portion and other consideration for the transaction. The note will define default provisions with respect to payment terms.
