DRDR MCI Onehealth Technologies Inc

MCI Onehealth Technologies Inc. ("MCI" or the “Company”) (TSX: DRDR), a clinician-led healthcare technology company focused on increasing access to and quality of healthcare, has entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to borrow up to $5,000,000 by way of a secured loan (the “Loan”) from The First Canadian Wellness Co. Inc. (the “Lender”).

Amounts may be advanced during the term of the Loan in such amounts and at such times as agreed to by the Lender and the Company, up to the maximum amount of the Loan. The Company may pay the Lender a commitment fee of up to $100,000 in respect of the Loan. 

MCI intends to use the proceeds of the Loan to fund its ongoing operations and for general and administrative expenses, subject to any specific use of proceeds agreed with the Lender in respect of each advance.

The Loan bears interest at a rate of prime plus 9% per annum. The Loan is repayable on the earlier of December 31, 2023, the date that there is a change of control of the Company or any refinancing by the Company. The Company may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. Each of the Company’s material subsidiaries has provided a guarantee in favour of the Lender with respect to amounts advanced under the Loan. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company and its material subsidiaries have entered into a general security agreement in favour of the Lender and amounts advanced under the Loan are secured against substantially all of the property and undertaking of the Company and such subsidiaries.

Dr. George Christodoulou and Dr. Sven Grail, directors, co-chairs and control persons of MCI, control the Lender. Accordingly, the Loan constitutes a related party transaction under the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual (the “Company Manual”) and under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Pursuant to the Company Manual, the Loan was unanimously approved by the Board with Dr. Christodoulou and Dr. Grail abstaining from voting to approve the Loan in their capacities as directors of MCI. MCI is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the consideration for the Loan does not exceed more than 25% of the market capitalization of MCI as of the date of the Loan Agreement. MCI is also exempt from the minority approval requirement under MI 61-101 on the forgoing basis and because the Loan is not convertible into or repayable in securities of MCI and has been obtained on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to MCI than if the Loan were obtained from an arm’s length party.

MCI did not file a material change report more than twenty-one (21) days before the expected closing date of the Loan, as the details of the Loan and Loan Agreement were not finalized until immediately prior to the closing and MCI wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable so that MCI could begin using and benefiting from the Loan as soon as possible.
