/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED

TORONTO, March 16, 2021 /CNW/ - Pathway Health, Corp.
("Pathway" or the "Company"), a subsidiary of The
Clinic Network Canada Inc., and Colson Capital Corp. (TSXV: COLSP)
("Colson"), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange (the "Exchange"), are pleased to announce that
Pathway has completed the previously announced private placement
(the "Private Placement") in connection with the previously
announced proposed reverse take-over of Colson by Pathway (the
"Qualifying Transaction").
The Private Placement was completed through a syndicate of
agents, led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., and included iA Private
Wealth Inc. and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (collectively, the
"Agents"). Pursuant to the Private Placement, Pathway issued
27,600,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription
Receipts") at a price of $0.50
per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of
$13,800,000. The gross proceeds from
the Private Placement, less a portion of the fees and expenses of
the Agents (the "Escrowed Funds"), have been delivered to
AST Trust Company (Canada)
("AST"), as the subscription receipt agent. The Escrowed
Funds shall be held by AST until the waiver and/or satisfaction of
certain escrow release conditions, including, but not limited to,
the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent
to the Qualifying Transaction (other than the release of the
Escrowed Funds), the receipt of all shareholder and regulatory
approvals required for the Qualifying Transaction and other
customary escrow conditions for a transaction of this nature as
described in the Company's press release dated February 2, 2021 (the "Escrow Release
Conditions").
The Private Placement was completed in connection with the
Qualifying Transaction between the Company and Colson, initially
announced on November 30, 2020 and
updated on February 2, 2021. Subject
to approval by the Exchange, the Qualifying Transaction will be
completed by way of a share exchange agreement dated January 29, 2021 between the Company,
Colson and each of its securityholders (the "Share Exchange
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement,
Colson shall purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares
of Pathway in exchange for the issuance of post-consolidation
common shares in the capital of Colson, resulting in the reverse
take-over of Colson by Pathway to form the resulting issuer (the
"Resulting Issuer"). Upon completion of the Qualifying
Transaction, it is the intention of the parties that the Resulting
Issuer will continue on the business of Pathway.
Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each
Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without
payment of any additional consideration, for units ("Units")
of Pathway, each Unit will be comprised of one Class A share of
Pathway (each a "Pathway Share") and one-half of a Pathway
Share purchase warrant (each whole Pathway Share purchase warrant,
a "Pathway Warrant"). Each Pathway Share and each Pathway
Warrant will, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement,
subsequently be exchanged for one common share of the Resulting
Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Shares") and one common share
purchase warrant of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer
Warrants"). In addition, the Agent's Warrants will also be
exchanged for equivalent instruments of the Resulting Issuer
exercisable for Resulting Issuer Shares.
Aside from: Wayne Cockburn, an
officer of Pathway; Ken Yoon, an
officer of Pathway; Aura Balboa, an
officer of Pathway; and Kim Wei, an
officer of Pathway, and his spouse, none of the Non-Arm's Length
Parties (such term as defined in the policies of the Exchange) to
the Company and Colson participated in the Private
Placement.
A portion of the net proceeds raised from the Private Placement
will be used by Pathway to pay a promissory note in relation to the
acquisition of assets from The Clinic Network Canada Inc. and the
remainder will be used for general working capital.
