LL Capital Corp. Provides Further Details on the Acquisition of Syncordia Technologies and Healthcare Solutions, Inc.


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 12, 2015) - LL Capital Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:LLA.P) is pleased to provide further details on the proposed qualifying transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") with Syncordia Technologies and Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("Syncordia"), as previously announced on April 13, 2015.

BACKGROUND

On April 8, 2015, the Corporation entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") with Syncordia pursuant to which the Corporation has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Syncordia Common Shares"), class A preferred shares (the "Syncordia Class A Preferred Shares") and class B preferred shares (the "Syncordia Class B Preferred Shares" and collectively with the Syncordia Common Shares and the Syncordia Class A Preferred Shares, the "Syncordia Shares") in the capital of Syncordia by way of a "three-cornered amalgamation" pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA").

Pursuant to an amalgamation agreement to be entered into between Syncordia, the Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation incorporated under the CBCA ("LL Capital Sub"), LL Capital Sub will amalgamate with Syncordia (the "Amalgamation") to form a new amalgamated corporation and the separate existence of Syncordia and LL Capital Sub will cease. The surviving amalgamated corporation will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

The Proposed Transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of the Corporation by Syncordia where the former shareholders of Syncordia will own, assuming completion of the Private Placement (as defined below), up to 97.7% of the outstanding common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") and all of the members of the board of directors will be designees of Syncordia.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, no persons will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, more than 10% of the Common Shares of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) following completion of the Amalgamation.

Upon completion, the Proposed Transaction will constitute the Corporation's "qualifying transaction" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

SYNCORDIA PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Syncordia intends to complete a bought deal private placement (the "Private Placement") with National Bank Financial Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation as joint-bookrunners and co-lead underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"). It is intended the Private Placement will be for an aggregate of 3,334,000 subscription receipts of Syncordia ("Syncordia Subscription Receipts"), comprised of the following: (i) 2,667,000 Syncordia Subscription Receipts at a price of CDN$3.00 per Syncordia Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of CDN$8,001,000; and (ii) an additional 667,000 Syncordia Subscription Receipts at the same price for gross proceeds of CDN$2,001,000, to be issued pursuant to the full exercise of an option granted to the Underwriters by Syncordia (the "Underwriters' Option"). Given the full exercise of the Underwriters' Option, the total gross proceeds to Syncordia from the Private Placement is expected to be CDN$10,002,000.

Each Syncordia Subscription Receipt will be comprised of one Syncordia Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Syncordia (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Syncordia Warrant"). Each whole Syncordia Warrant will be exercisable for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Private Placement (the "Closing") at an exercise price of CDN$3.30. If at any time following the four-month anniversary of the Closing and prior to the expiry date of the Syncordia Warrants, the volume-weighted average trading price of the consolidated Common Shares, as traded on the TSXV, is greater than CDN$4.00 for any 20 consecutive trading days, then the Resulting Issuer shall have the option to accelerate the expiry date of the Syncordia Warrants to the date that is 30 calendar days after notice of such event is publicly announced by the Resulting Issuer or mailed to the holders of Syncordia Warrants.

At the effective time of the completion of the acquisition: (i) the Syncordia Common Shares acquired upon conversion of the Syncordia Subscription Receipts will be exchanged for Common Shares (post-Consolidation (as defined below)) of the Resulting Issuer without payment of any additional consideration; and (ii) Syncordia Warrants acquired upon conversion of the Syncordia Subscription Receipts will be exchanged for warrants to purchase a Common Share (post-Consolidation) of the Resulting Issuer on equivalent terms, which in each case will be without payment of any additional consideration or any further action on the part of the holder thereof.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the sale of Syncordia Subscription Receipts. In addition, the Underwriters will be granted non-transferable options ("Syncordia Compensation Options") equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Syncordia Subscription Receipts issued, with each Syncordia Compensation Option being exercisable for one Syncordia Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at a price equal to CDN$3.00 per share.

Syncordia intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for future acquisitions and/or general corporate purposes.

THE QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

As consideration for the acquisition of all of the outstanding securities of Syncordia, the Corporation will issue one Common Share for each one Syncordia Share (the "Exchange Ratio") outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation. Currently, 2,910,000 Syncordia Common Shares, 3,500,000 Syncordia Class A Preferred Shares, 7,747,135 Syncordia Class B, series 1 Preferred Shares and 1,702,500 Syncordia Class B, series 2 Preferred Shares, are issued and outstanding. Assuming completion of the Private Placement, there will be 19,193,635 Syncordia Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation.

On or immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Corporation will consolidate its outstanding share capital at a ratio of 20:1, or such other ratio as may be accepted by the relevant regulatory authorities and approved by the directors of the Corporation (the "Consolidation"). The Common Shares to be issued to holders of Syncordia Common Shares shall be at a deemed price of CDN$0.15 per Common Share calculated on a pre-Consolidation basis.

As a result of the Amalgamation, the securities of Syncordia will become securities of the resulting issuer, being the Corporation following the completion of the Proposed Transaction and the issuance of the final exchange bulletin of the TSXV (the "Resulting Issuer"). In particular, (i) each Syncordia Common Share, Syncordia Class A Preferred Share and Syncordia Class B Preferred Share will be exchanged for one Common Share (post-Consolidation); (ii) each Syncordia Warrant will become a warrant to purchase one Common Share (post-Consolidation); and (iii) each option granted by Syncordia pursuant to its stock option plan (each, a "Syncordia Option") and each Syncordia Compensation Option will become an option to purchase one Common Share (post-Consolidation).

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Consolidation and the Private Placement (assuming the completion of the Private Placement), it is expected that an aggregate of 19,643,635 Common Shares will be issued and outstanding, and approximately 4,678,775 Common Shares will be reserved for issuance pursuant to convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is the intention of the parties that the Resulting Issuer will be renamed "Syncordia Technologies and Healthcare Solutions, Corp."

It is anticipated that upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will meet the Tier 1 listing requirements of the TSXV for a technology issuer.

INFORMATION ON SYNCORDIA

Syncordia was incorporated on January 14, 2014 pursuant to the filing of articles of incorporation under the CBCA. Syncordia's head office and registered office is located at 185 The West Mall, Suite #710, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M9C 5L5.

Syncordia is a revenue cycle management ("RCM") company providing software and solutions to the healthcare industry. Syncordia is looking to acquire medical billing companies with and without proprietary software and building a proprietary suite of RCM software solutions called the Syncordia Cloud, which includes patient scheduling, electronic health records, claims management, analytics and more.

On October 31, 2014, Syncordia completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Health Services Integration, Inc. ("HSI"). HSI is an emergency medical systems ("EMS") ground and air RCM company originally established in 1999 in the State of California. HSI services mainly air and ground ambulance service providers across 10 states. During its initial 15 years, HSI has developed and refined an RCM software solution that offers transparency to customer service providers and workflow optimization tools.

On April 24, 2015, Syncordia completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Paragon Billing, LLC ("Paragon"). The assets acquired are proprietary software and constitute the initial construction of the Syncordia Cloud. The strategic rationale for the Paragon acquisition was to own an RCM company with proprietary software in the behavioral health niche. Paragon will serve as a platform to acquire other companies in this niche and roll their operations onto the Paragon software to drive shareholder value and free cash flow.

There are currently over 130 shareholders of Syncordia. No person owns or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Syncordia assuming conversion of all outstanding Syncordia preferred shares.
