MCI ONEHEALTH SEEKING APPROVAL FOR DEBT FINANCING OF UP TO $1.5M

MCI Onehealth Technologies Inc. is seeking the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange for an additional $1.5-million debt financing facility from The First Canadian Wellness Co. Inc., a related party to the company, to finance its continuing operations and for general and administrative expenses while it continues to work toward longer-term growth and stability.

"We are thrilled to have the continued support of our major shareholders and other key stakeholders," said Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of the Company. "This new financing facility, once approved, will help alleviate some of the immediate pressure on the Company's cash flow needs and will allow us to focus our efforts on identifying longer term solutions to the Company's current financial and operational challenges."

The Proposed Facility

The proposed new financing would be made available to the Company under a second amended and restated loan agreement (the "2nd A&R Agreement"), which amends and restates the current agreement between the Company and the Lender in respect of their existing $7,000,000 debt facility (the "Existing Facility").

Under the terms of the 2nd A&R Agreement, the Lender would make an additional $1,500,000 facility available to the Company (the "New Facility"). The New Facility may be drawn down in increments of $750,000, subject to the Lender's approval in its sole and absolute discretion, and is repayable on the earlier of (a) April 30, 2024, (b) the date that there is a change of control of the Company, or (c) the date of any refinancing of the Company. Subject to the consent of the Company's senior lenders, the Company may prepay the New Facility at any time without penalty, and the Company has agreed that it will apply the net proceeds from the sale of certain of its non-core assets to prepay amounts outstanding under the New Facility. The New Facility would be secured by the same security and guarantees applicable to the existing loan, which grant the Lender security over substantially all of the property and undertaking of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In addition to the provision of the New Facility, the 2nd A&R Agreement extends the term of the Existing Facility until April 30, 2024.

The New Facility would not bear interest, but would require the Company to pay a $75,000 set-up fee as well as a monthly fee equal to 1.67% of the principal amount outstanding under the New Facility on the first of each month, pro-rated for the first month the New Facility is in place. These fees would be payable to the Lender on demand, on 10 business days prior written notice, in either cash or Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company ("Shares") at the election of the Lender. If the Lender elects to be paid all or a portion of the fees in Shares, the Shares will be valued at their fifteen-day VWAP on the date a demand for payment is made, or, subject to the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, at such other price as the Company and the Lender may agree. All payments in Shares are subject to the future approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange and, in the absence of such approval, will be paid in cash. No demand for payment of fees may be made before July 1, 2023, unless an acceleration event has occurred under the loan and security agreements.

Related Party Approval Requirements

Dr. George Christodoulou and Dr. Sven Grail, directors, co-Chairs and control persons of the Company, control the Lender, and Mr. Kingsley Ward and Mr. Anthony Lacavera, directors of the Company, each have a 1/6th financial interest in the New Facility (such persons collectively, the "Interested Parties"). Accordingly, the 2nd A&R Agreement constitutes a related party transaction under the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual (the "Company Manual") and under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

Pursuant to the Company Manual, the 2nd A&R Agreement has been approved by those directors of the Company who do not have an interest in the 2nd A&R Agreement, with interested directors abstaining from voting and deliberations on the approval. Because the total consideration paid and payable to insiders over the term of the Existing Facility and the New Facility, if implemented, would exceed 10% of the market capitalization of the Company, the New Facility is also subject to a majority-of-the-minority shareholder approval requirement under the Company Manual. The Company has obtained the written consent of the holders of securities of the Company entitled to more than 50% of the votes attributable to all issued and outstanding shares, excluding those held or controlled by the Interested Parties, and is seeking the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange to waive the requirement for a formal shareholder meeting on that basis. The Company expects to receive the decision of the Toronto Stock Exchange on or before May 4, 2023 and, if approval is obtained, expects to close on the New Facility on the following business day.

The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the New Facility does not exceed more than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company as of the date of the 2nd A&R Agreement. The Company is also exempt from the minority approval requirement under MI 61-101 on the foregoing basis. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days in advance of implementing the New Facility due to the Company's financial condition and need for short-term working capital as soon as possible.

The total consideration paid and payable to the Lender in connection with the Existing Facility and the New Facility, if implemented, using today's prime rate of interest and assuming the Existing Facility and the New Facility are both fully drawn down and will remain outstanding until their maturity date on April 30, 2024 would be approximately: $1,932,896, of which approximately $62,600 is attributable to Mr. Kingsley Ward and $62,600 to Mr. Anthony Lacavera. The number of Shares that may be issued to the Lender under the New Facility is dependent on, among other things, the timing of the demand(s) for payment of the fees due on the New Facility, the amount of fees that have accrued, the fifteen-day VWAP of the Shares on the date of demand, and the availability of future TSX approval for the issuance of the Shares.

The extension of the New Facility to the Company is conditional on the Company obtaining the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
