TORONTO, March 14,
2024 /CNW/ - LifeSpeak Inc. (TSX: LSPK)
("LifeSpeak" or the "Company"), a leading provider of mental,
physical, and family wellbeing solutions for employers, health
plans, and other organizations, announced today that it has issued
8,096,588 common shares ("Common Shares") to subscribers of its
previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private
Placement") at a price of $0.60791
per Common Share (the "Subscription Price"). The Company expects to
issue an additional 128,308 Common Shares at the Subscription Price
in the coming days as the remaining de minimus amounts from
confirmed subscribers are received. Aggregate gross proceeds from
the Private Placement are approximately $5.0
million.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to repay the
Company's outstanding senior indebtedness such that its resulting
senior indebtedness will be $66,412,500. The Company anticipates that the
amortization of the senior indebtedness will be approximately
$1.8 million per quarter for
2024.
"The participation from senior management and members of our
board of directors in this Private Placement demonstrates our
conviction and confidence in LifeSpeak's business moving forward,"
said Michael Held, CEO and Founder
of LifeSpeak. "It also represents a positive step towards
de-levering the Company while we maintain our focus on growing the
business."
Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, the Common
Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day
following the closing date.
