(“Wesana”) (CSE: WESA) announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Psychedelitech Inc., also known as PsyTech Inc., for a price of approximately $21 million CAD in Wesana Health stock (the “Transaction”), as further described below.

According to a press release issued by Wesana Health Holdings, Inc., Tovana Clinics, rebranding as Wesana Clinics, is a chain of psychiatrist-led integrated mental health clinics focused on profitably delivering quality psychiatric care, inclusive of ketamine therapy, while also preparing for the delivery of other psychedelic therapies as they become available.

The number of clinics will ramp up post-acquisition to an estimated 12 clinics within the next 12 months.
PsyTech Connect is the largest psychedelic therapy community with over 8,000 actively engaged professionals and has become a respected resource for complete, current and peer-accepted psychedelic therapy protocols and clinical best practices.

Transaction Details
The Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation between PsyTech, Wesana and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wesana. The Transaction will involve the issuance of approximately 7.4 million subordinate voting shares of Wesana as the acquisition consideration (the “Consideration Shares”).
The Transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of Wesana and the board of directors of PsyTech. The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature including, among other things, PsyTech obtaining the requisite shareholder approval at a special meeting of PsyTech shareholders to be called to consider the Transaction (the “PsyTech Meeting”). The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2021.
The Transaction will require approval by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by PsyTech shareholders at the PsyTech Meeting. PsyTech shareholders holding at least 67% of the shares of PsyTech, on a fully diluted basis, have entered into support agreements with Wesana (the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote all of the shares held by them in favor of the Transaction at the PsyTech Meeting, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Support Agreements.
Additionally, it is a condition to closing of the Transaction that PsyTech shareholders holding approximately 77% of the shares of PsyTech, on a fully diluted basis, shall have entered into lock-up agreements with Wesana pursuant to which: (a) 20% of the Consideration Shares received by each such locked-up shareholder will be exempt from any contractual transfer restrictions imposed by Wesana; and (b) 80% of the Consideration Shares received by each such locked-up shareholder will be subject to contractual transfer restrictions, with such Consideration Shares to be released from such transfer restrictions monthly over a one-year period from the date of closing the Transaction (i.e. in 6.66% monthly increments commencing on the date that is one month from the date of closing the Transaction).
It is anticipated that certain U.S. shareholders of PsyTech will elect and agree to receive multiple voting shares of Wesana in lieu of subordinate voting shares of Wesana (on the basis of one multiple voting share for every 50 subordinate voting shares) that they would have otherwise received as Consideration Shares.
Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP and Dorsey & Whitney LLP are acting for Wesana in connection with the Transaction and Garfinkle Biderman LLP and McDonald Hopkins are acting for PsyTech in connection with the Transaction.
