Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 9, 2020) - Greenstone Capital Corp. (TSXV: GSGS.P) (the "Company" or "Greenstone"), a capital pool company ("CPC") pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding merger agreement and plan of reorganization dated December 7, 2020 (the "Merger Agreement") with Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. ("CHS") and Greenstone Capital USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in respect of a statutory merger under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute the Company's "Qualifying Transaction" (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange) and would result in a reverse takeover of the Company by CHS.
As the Proposed Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange) the approval of the shareholders of the Company is not required for the Proposed Transaction; however, certain ancillary matters described below will require the approval of shareholders of the Company, including the amendment to the Company's articles to amend the rights and restrictions applicable to the Greenstone Shares (as defined herein) and to create a new class of restricted voting securities required to be created in connection with Proposed Transaction (the "Share Amendment"). A notice of meeting and information circular pertaining to such matters will be provided to holders of Greenstone Shares (the "Greenstone Shareholders") in due course. It is currently anticipated that the meeting of Greenstone Shareholders will be held in the first quarter of 2021.
Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is the intention of the parties that the Company (the Company after the Proposed Transaction being referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer") will continue to carry on the business of CHS, being that of a healthcare services company, and will be listed as a Tier 2 issuer on the Exchange.
Private Placement Offerings
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, CHS anticipates completing a brokered private placement offering (the "Brokered Concurrent Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of not less than CDN$2,000,000 (the "Minimum Brokered Concurrent Offering"). It is anticipated that the Brokered Concurrent Offering will be undertaken as a "commercially reasonable best efforts" private placement of not less than 6,666,667 subscription receipts of CHS (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of CDN$0.30 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price"). Each Subscription Receipt would pursuant to its terms (without any action required from the holder thereof) be deemed exercised for units of CHS (the "CHS Subscription Receipt Units") on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction (the "Subscription Receipt Conversion"). Each CHS Subscription Receipt Unit shall be comprised of one share in the common stock of CHS (a "CHS Share") and one-half of one CHS Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "CHS SR Warrant"). Each CHS SR Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one CHS Share at a price of CDN$0.40. Subscription funds received in connection with the Brokered Concurrent Offering would be held in escrow pending closing of the Proposed Transaction and subject to the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, which shall include Exchange approval of the Proposed Transaction. If the Proposed Transaction does not close, such subscription funds would be returned to subscribers with pro rata interest in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts.
In addition, CHS anticipates completing a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Convertible Debenture Offering" and together with the Brokered Concurrent Offering, the "Offerings") of convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CDN$2,000,000 (together with the Minimum Brokered Concurrent Offering, the "Minimum Offerings"). The Convertible Debentures will be issued on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the parties, but shall be convertible into units of CHS (each, a "CHS Convertible Debenture Unit") comprised of one CHS Share and one-half of one CHS Share purchase warrant (each whole CHS Share purchase warrant, a "CHS CD Warrant") at a conversion price equal to the Offering Price less a discount of 20%. Each CHS CD Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one CHS Share at a price of CDN$0.40 for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. The Convertible Debentures shall provide for the forced conversion of the Convertible Debentures into CHS Convertible Debenture Units immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction (the "Convertible Debenture Conversion").
It is intended that the net proceeds of the Convertible Debenture Offering will be used for general and working capital requirements of CHS and the net proceeds of the Brokered Concurrent Offering will be used for general and working capital requirements of the Resulting Issuer.
Summary of the Qualifying Transaction
On or immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, and subject to the applicable approvals: (i) the Company will change its name to "Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc." or such other name as acceptable to CHS (the "Name Change") and (ii) the Company will consolidate its common shares (each, a "Greenstone Share") on the basis of one (1) post consolidation Greenstone Share for every 2.3548 pre-consolidation Greenstone Shares (the "Consolidation").

Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the current securityholders of CHS would own a majority of the issued and outstanding post-Consolidation common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") and CHS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer.
Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction (assuming completion of the Minimum Offerings), existing holders of Greenstone Shares are anticipated to hold, in the aggregate, 3,100,000 Resulting Issuer Shares representing approximately 3.87% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (3.28% on a fully diluted basis). Former security holders of CHS (excluding holders of Convertible Debentures are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 62,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 77.40% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (65.58% on a fully diluted basis) at a deemed price per share of CDN$0.30 (an aggregate deemed value of CHS of CDN$18.6 million). Investors under the Brokered Concurrent Offering will hold, in the aggregate, 6,666,667 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 8.32% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (7.05% on a fully diluted basis). Investors under the Convertible Debenture Offering will hold, in the aggregate, 8,333,333 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 10.40% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (8.81% on a fully diluted basis).

Each of Greenstone and CHS will bear their own costs in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
