TORONTO, June 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Centric Health Corporation ("Centric Health" or the "Company") (TSX: CHH) announced today that it has closed its previously announced bought deal private placement (the "Offering").

Each Special Warrant will entitle its holder to receive, for no additional consideration, one (1) common share of the Company (an "Underlying Share") and may be exercised by the holder thereof at any time after the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date"), with all unexercised Special Warrants being deemed exercised, without required action on the part of the holders, on the date (the "Deemed Exercise Date") that is the earlier of:

The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt for the Final Prospectus (the "Qualifying Condition") on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 70 days following the Closing Date (the "Qualification Deadline"). If the Qualifying Condition is not met before the Qualification Deadline, each Special Warrant shall thereafter entitle the holder to receive upon exercise, for no additional consideration, 1.1 Underlying Shares per Special Warrant.

The Corporation plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering was completed through a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") led by Beacon Securities Limited and including Cormark Securities Inc. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. In connection with their role as underwriters of the Offering, the Underwriters received customary underwriting fees, including 3,450,000 special warrants (the "Underwriters' Special Warrants"), with each Underwriters' Special Warrant entitling the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, an "Underwriters' Warrant") on the Deemed Exercise Date.
