TORONTO, Feb. 7, 2023
/CNW/ - Greenbrook TMS Inc. (TSX: GTMS) (NASDAQ: GBNH)
("Greenbrook" or the "Company"), announces today that
it has received an aggregate of US$2.75
million in debt financing from its existing lender, Madryn
Asset Management, LP ("Madryn"), alongside certain of the
Company's existing significant shareholders and management.
Madryn Debt Financing
The Company announces that it has entered into an amendment to
its previously-announced credit facility with Madryn (the
"Credit Facility"), whereby Madryn and its affiliated
entities have extended an additional tranche of debt financing
to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of
US$2.0 million, which was
fully-funded at closing (the "New Loan"). The terms and
conditions of the New Loan are consistent with the terms and
conditions of the Company's existing aggregate US$55.0 million loan under the Credit Facility
(the "Existing Loan") in all material respects.
The New Loan also provides Madryn with the option to convert up
to approximately US$182,000 of the
outstanding principal amount of the New Loan into common shares of
the Company at a conversion price per share equal to US$1.90 (the "Conversion Price"), subject
to customary anti-dilution adjustments and approval of the Toronto
Stock Exchange ("TSX"). This conversion feature corresponds
to the conversion provisions for its Existing Loan, which provide
Madryn with the option to convert the outstanding principal amount
of the Existing Loan into common shares of the Company at the
Conversion Price.
Shareholder Loans
The Company also announces that, alongside the New Loan, it has
entered into a note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase
Agreement") with certain significant shareholders and
management of the Company (the "Noteholders") whereby the
Company has issued US$750,000
aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the "Notes")
to the Noteholders. The Notes bear interest at a rate consistent
with the Credit Facility and mature on September 30, 2027.
Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company has
the option to issue and sell to the Noteholders during the next six
months up to an additional US$1.0
million aggregate principal amount of additional Notes on
the same terms, subject to the prior consent of the
Noteholders.
The proceeds of the New Loan and the Notes are expected to be
used by the Company for general corporate and working capital
purposes.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any
of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Notes have not
been and will not be registered under the U.S. 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, or for
account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation
S under the U.S. Securities Act) except pursuant to an
available exemption under the U.S. Securities Act and
compliance with, or exemption from, applicable U.S. state
securities laws.
