VANCOUVER, May 20, 2020 /CNW/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (the "Company" or "WELL"), a company focused on consolidating and modernizing clinical and digital assets within the healthcare sector, is pleased to announce the Company has entered into an arm's length share purchase agreement dated May 19, 2020, with the shareholders of Indivica Inc. ("Indivica"), whereby the Company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Indivica (the "Transaction").
"We are very pleased to enter into an agreement to acquire Indivica. Indivica is a proven and well-respected OntarioMD certified EMR vendor with a deep and trusted history of serving Ontario clinics and doctors since 2008," said Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of WELL. "While the user experience that underpins Indivica's product is based on OSCAR, 100% of Indivica's user base is cloud hosted and leverages extensive IP that secures and protects patient data."
The total consideration payable by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Indivica is approximately $6,200,000, subject to certain adjustments, and consisting of the following: (i)$3,410,000 paid in cash upon closing of the Transaction; (ii) $1,550,000 paid in common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of approximately $3.10 per share, being equal to the five day volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares, subject to the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"); and (iii) a time-based cash earn-out of $1,240,000 paid within 120 days of the close of the transaction. The Transaction will be financed with cash on hand.
"Indivica is a pioneering OSCAR Service Provider who made the decision to follow its own strategic path, which lead to Indivica developing unique security and other innovations not seen in other OSCAR providers," said Arjun Kumar, WELL's CIO and business unit leader for the WELL EMR Group. "We look forward to working with the talented team at Indivica."
Indivica, founded in 2008, is a provider of fully hosted EMR software and services and is based out of Toronto, Ontario. Indivica has been a true innovator developing extensive intellectual property as it relates to innovative technological solutions related to appointment notification, patient communication, patient data federation amongst disparate clinics, automated submission and retrieval of Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) billings and reports, and real-time health card and fee service code reports. In the past twelve months, Indivica generated approximately $1.8M in total revenue, the vast majority of which is recurring Software as a Service (SaaS) and support revenues. It is expected that Indivica will generate, at minimum, double digit percentage EBITDA margin(2) with non-speculative post-acquisition synergies. Indivica's CEO, Neil Baimel, will assist WELL with the transition of operations for a period of time following closing of the transaction.
"We are delighted to be joining forces with the WELL EMR Group, who is increasingly becoming the EMR vendor of choice in Canada," said Neil Baimel, CEO of Indivica. "We are confident that WELL will continue to service our customers in a professional and efficient manner while continuing to innovate."
The Transaction is subject a number of closing conditions, including certain corporate and regulatory approvals, such as approval from the TSX. All shares issued by the Company under the Transaction will be issued pursuant to an exemption from applicable securities laws. There are no finder's fees payable in connection with the Transaction.
1. | OSCAR, an acronym for "Open Source Clinical Application Resource", is an open-source EMR or "Electronic Medical Records" system developed by McMaster University's Department of Family Medicine to inspire collaboration between the wide spectrum of health professionals with the goal to drive downstream benefits to patient care. |
2. | Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin is a non-GAAP measure. It should not be construed as an alternative to net income/loss as a percentage of revenue determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA margin does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that EBITDA margin is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations as a percentage of total revenue. |
