/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

VANCOUVER, May 22, 2020 /CNW/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) ("WELL" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated May 5, 2020, the Company has completed its previously announced bought deal public offering of 6,534,300 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share"), including 852,300 Shares issued pursuant to the over-allotment option which was exercised in full, at a price of $2.20 per Share for gross proceeds of $14,375,460 (the "Offering").

Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of WELL, commented, "We are pleased to have completed this offering and obtained the resources that will allow us to continue our digital health focused and disciplined capital allocation program. We wish to thank our shareholders and agents for their support."

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for mergers and acquisitions and general working capital purposes including cash for operations and interest payments.

Eight Capital and Stifel GMP acted as co-lead underwriters of the Offering with a syndicate that also included PI Financial Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Haywood Securities Inc. and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. The Company paid the underwriters a cash commission equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the Offering.

The Offering included participation from certain management (including the Company's CEO, CFO and COO) in the aggregate of 118,500 Shares.  Accordingly, the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), which requires that the Company, in the absence of exemptions, obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the related party transaction. The Offering will be exempt from the valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, as the fair market value of the consideration for the Shares issued to "related parties" is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.  This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
