TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 4, 2016) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S. OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

Quinsam Opportunities I Inc. ("QOP" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:QOP.P), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") dated June 28, 2016 with Vitalhub Corp. ("Vitalhub") which outlines the general terms and conditions of a proposed transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") that will result in QOP acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vitalhub (the "Vitalhub Shares") and warrants (the "Vitalhub Warrants") in exchange for shares of QOP (each, a "QOP Share") and warrants (each, a "QOP Warrant").

The LOI is to be superseded by a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") between QOP and Vitalhub with such agreement to include representations, warranties, conditions and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature. The Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of the requisite shareholder approval of Vitalhub and QOP, final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and standard closing conditions, including the conditions described below. The parties have agreed that during the period from signing the LOI through to execution of the Definitive Agreement, each of QOP and Vitalhub will continue their respective operations in the ordinary course and will not solicit or accept alternative offers (subject to fiduciary duties). Subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, the parties expect to execute the Definitive Agreement on or before July 31, 2016 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing between QOP and Vitalhub) and have agreed to use their best efforts to complete the Proposed Transaction by September 30, 2016 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing between QOP and Vitalhub).

The Proposed Transaction will constitute the Company's qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") pursuant to Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies (the "Policy") of the Exchange.

The Proposed Transaction is not a Non Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Policy and, as such, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction. However, the Company intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders to approve certain matters ancillary to the Proposed Transaction, including a name change and change in the board of directors, effective upon closing of the Proposed Transaction ("Closing").

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, QOP will continue on with the business of Vitalhub (the Company after the Proposed Transaction being referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer").

The Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction will result in QOP acquiring all of the issued and outstanding Vitalhub Shares and Vitalhub Warrants such that each shareholder and warrantholder of Vitalhub (including those becoming shareholders and/or warrantholders as a result of the Concurrent Financing and the Vitalhub Financing, as defined below) (each, a "Vitalhub Shareholder" or "Vitalhub Warrantholder" as applicable) will receive one QOP Share issued at a deemed issue price of $0.11 for every 0.4738 Vitalhub Shares held by them (the "Issue Price") and/or one Vitalhub Warrant for every 0.4738 Vitalhub Warrants held by them, as applicable. The number of QOP Shares to be issued by QOP to acquire Vitalhub will be 13,400,016 shares in addition to the number of Vitalhub Shares issued in the Concurrent Financing and the Vitalhub Financing (as defined herein). Additionally, QOP will issue approximately 3,769,974 QOP Warrants in exchange for 1,786,214 Vitalhub Warrants.

As a result of the Proposed Transaction, QOP will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vitalhub and QOP will continue on with the business of Vitalhub. Upon Closing, the name of the Resulting Issuer will be changed to "Vitalhub Corporation" or such other name as may be acceptable to QOP, Vitalhub and the Exchange.

All QOP Shares issued pursuant to the Proposed Transaction will be freely tradable under applicable securities legislation but may be subject to an Exchange imposed restriction on resale.

Certain of the QOP Shares to be issued to the Vitalhub Shareholders pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, including up to 100% of the securities to be issued to "Principals" (as defined under applicable laws), may also be subject to escrow provisions imposed pursuant to the policies of the Exchange.

None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Transaction have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and any securities issued pursuant to the Proposed Transaction are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable exemptions under state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Proposed Brokered Equity Financing

QOP or Vitalhub will undertake a brokered equity financing (the "Concurrent Financing") for gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$500,000. The Concurrent Financing may be completed as a financing into Vitalhub or QOP, as the parties and the agents in the Concurrent Financing may determine acting reasonably. It is expected that the Concurrent Financing will be an issuance of units consisting of one equity share at a price of CAD$0.11 per share and one half warrant to acquire an additional equity share at a price of CAD$0.15 per share, where each warrant will expire on the two year anniversary of the closing date, subject to adjustment in the context of the market through discussion with the agents. In connection with the Concurrent Financing it is agreed that the parties will agree jointly to the appointment of an agent at customary remuneration and terms for a transaction of similar size and scope. Further details with respect to the Concurrent Financing will be provided by way of a subsequent news release.

Proposed Private Placement

Vitalhub may also undertake a private placement of up to $1,000,000 (the "Private Placement") prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction and the Concurrent Financing. Shares and warrants issued by Vitalhub pursuant to the Private Placement will be priced on the same basis as the Concurrent Financing after adjustment using the 0.4738 share exchange ratio. If the Private Placement is completed by Vitalhub, the number of QOP Shares and QOP Warrants issued to Vitalhub on the closing of the Qualifying Transaction will be increased by the number of Vitalhub Shares and Vitalhub Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement adjusted using the 0.4738 share exchange ratio. Further details with respect to the Private Placement will be provided by way of a subsequent news release.

Conditions to Proposed Transaction

Prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction (and as conditions of closing), among other things:

  • the Resulting Issuer shall meet the minimum listing requirements of a Tier 2 Exchange issuer pursuant to Policy 2.1 of the Exchange;
  • QOP will have taken all necessary steps to have its name changed from Quinsam Opportunities I Inc. to "Vitalhub Corporation" or such other name as the parties may determine and which is acceptable to the Exchange and applicable regulatory authorities;
  • except for one director, to be determined, the current directors and officers of QOP will have resigned and the incoming directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer shall have been appointed;
  • the Proposed Transaction shall have occurred no later than September 30, 2016 (the "Outside Date");
  • completion of the Concurrent Financing;
  • if required by the Exchange, receipt of a formal valuation of Vitalhub satisfactory to the TSXV; and
  • receipt of all required consents, waiver and approvals from the Exchange, any securities regulatory authority and any other third party having jurisdiction, including approval from the Exchange for the Proposed Transaction as its Qualifying Transaction and the listing of the Resulting Issuer shares on the Exchange.

Sponsorship of a qualifying transaction of a capital pool company is required by the Exchange unless exempt in accordance with Exchange policies. The parties will be seeking a waiver of any requirement for a Sponsor, but in the event a waiver is not available, will seek a sponsorship relationship for this transaction with an Exchange member firm, and will update the markets accordingly.
