CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 29, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN UNITED STATES

Chelsea Acquisitions Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CAV.P) ("Chelsea") is pleased to announce that Pediapharm Inc. ("Pediapharm") has closed its previously announced brokered private placement (the "Pediapharm Offering") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") and as such has met one of the principal conditions to the completion of the business combination of Chelsea and Pediapharm (the "Business Combination). Pursuant to the Pediapharm Offering, Pediapharm issued 21,254,968 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.30 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $6,376,490.40 (the "Subscription Proceeds").

Richardson GMP Limited and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents") acted as agents of Pediapharm pursuant to the Pediapharm Offering. The Agents are entitled to a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised directly by the Agents and 3% of the gross proceeds raised by Pediapharm, for aggregate commissions of $410,119.23 (the "Agent's Commissions"). The Agent's Commissions are payable to the Agents' at the time of closing of the Business Combination. In addition, the Agents were paid a corporate finance fee by Pediapharm of $30,000 and granted agent's options ("Agent's Options") to purchase 1,700,396 common shares ("Amalco Share") of the new corporation ("Amalco") formed pursuant to the amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") of Chelsea and Pediapharm at a price of $0.30 per Amalco Share for a period of 24 months from the date the Amalco Shares are listed on the TSX Venture.

Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to receive one Amalco Share without additional consideration or further action, for each Subscription Receipt held, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of the Business Combination (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions").

The Subscription Proceeds will be held by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), and invested in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada or invested on deposit in a trust account of the Subscription Receipt Agent pending satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

In the event that: (i) the Amalgamation is not completed within 90 days from the closing date of the Pediapharm Offering; or (ii) the amalgamation agreement entered into between Chelsea and Pediapharm in connection with the Amalgamation is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (iii) Pediapharm has advised the Agents or disclosed to the public that it and/or Chelsea do not intend to proceed with the Amalgamation, then the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to each holder of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to $0.30 in respect of each Subscription Receipt held, together with such holder's pro rata entitlement to the earned interest, and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and be void and of no value or effect.

Assuming completion of the Amalgamation, it is intended that the net proceeds from the Pediapharm Offering will be used by Amalco to: launch new products; acquire commercial product rights; pay expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination and Pediapharm Offering; and for general working capital requirements.

Pediapharm, through Amalco, is also negotiating an additional private placement (the "QSSP Offering") of Amalco Shares with Quebec Stock Savings Plan Funds of up to $1,623,509. In the event that the Business Combination and QSSP Offering are completed, the total gross proceeds of the Pediapharm Offering will be $8,000,000.

The Business Combination is subject to the approval of TSX Venture, shareholder approval, and all other necessary regulatory approvals.

Pediapharm Business Development Up-Date

Chelsea wishes to provide a business development update to Pediapharm's prospective investors in light of on-going business activities that have recently occurred with respect to Pediapharm.

On November 21, 2013, Pediapharm received a first office action from Health Canada regarding one of its product filings. In the correspondence, Health Canada highlighted certain deficiencies in the filed submission.

After discussions with its regulatory consultants, Pediapharm is confident that it has the necessary data available to respond to Health Canada and meet its requests, although Pediapharm expects this will delay the launch of the product. This delay is expected to reduce Pediapharm's expenses in 2014, as well as reduce the amount of forecasted revenues that would have been associated with the sale of the product. Pediapharm estimates the impact of the delay to be minimal on its long-term financial projections.

Pediapharm is also pleased to announce that there have been significant advancements in the negotiation of several transactions in the past weeks. In the event these negotiations are successful, Pediapharm hopes to be in a position to announce completed transactions in the first quarter of 2014.
