Nova Leap Health Corp. Closes First Tranche of Brokered and Non-Brokered Private Placements for a Total of $1,587,570

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Sept. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NOVA LEAP HEALTH CORP. (TSXV: NLH) (“Nova Leap” or “the Company”), a company focused on the home health care industry, closed the first tranche of its previously announced brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $468,550 by the sale of 1,338,715 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.35 per Common Share (the “Brokered Offering”).  The Brokered Offering was brokered on a “best efforts” basis by a syndicate of agents co-led by Haywood Securities Inc. and Gravitas Securities Inc. (“Agents”).  In addition, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $1,119,020 by the sale of 3,197,200 Common Shares on the same terms as the Brokered Offering (together with the Brokered Offering, the “Offering”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,587,570 raised in the first tranche.

The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a 4 month hold period.  Certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 125,000 Common Shares. The Company’s material change report in relation to the insider participation in the Offering will not have been filed at least 21 days before the closing of the first tranche of the Offering as their participation was not known at that time.

The Company paid the Agents: 1) a cash commission of $37,484 which was equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the first tranche of the Brokered Offering; and 2) 107,097 agents’ warrants equal to 8.0% of the Common Shares sold to purchasers in the Brokered Offering. Each agents’ warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.35 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the first tranche of the Brokered Offering.

The Company expects to complete a second and final tranche of the Offering on or before October 14, 2018. The proceeds from the first and second tranches of the Offering will be used for the acquisition of a Massachusetts home care services business as announced on August 20, 2018 and for working capital and general corporate purposes. 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

About Nova Leap

The Home Care Providers industry is becoming one of the fastest growing healthcare industries in Canada and the United States. Home care saves patients billions of dollars every year by treating them in their own homes instead of in hospitals. An aging population, the prevalence of chronic disease, growing physician acceptance of home care, medical advancements and a movement toward cost-efficient treatment options from public and private payers have all fostered industry growth.  Nova Leap is focused on a highly fragmented market of small privately-held companies providing patients one on one care in their homes.  Nova Leap's post-acquisition organic growth strategy is to increase annual revenue per location through a combination of increased employee investment, including training, focused sales and marketing efforts, billing rate increases, expansion of geographical coverage, and improved referral sources.
