VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 8, 2020 /CNW/ - HealthSpace Data Systems Ltd. (the "Company" or "HealthSpace") (CSE: HS) (Frankfurt: 38H) (OTCQB: HDSLF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its oversubscribed placement (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$6.5 million, as previously announced on November 19, 2020. Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Cormark Securities Inc. (the "Agents") acted as co-lead Agents and bookrunners for the Offering.
The Offering consisted of both brokered and non-brokered components, and resulted in the issuance of 8,124,250 units of the Company (each, a "Unit" and collectively the "Units") at a price of C$0.80 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share" and collectively the "Common Shares") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$1.20 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.
The Company paid a cash commission to the Agents and members of the Agents' selling group equal to $502,152 plus expenses and legal fees, and issued 627,690 compensation warrants entitling the holders to acquire one Common Share for each compensation warrant exercisable at $0.80.

Proceeds from the Offering are anticipated to be used for general working capital purposes, including research and development in respect of HealthSpace's software, sales and marketing, and the expansion of the Company's workforce.
Two related parties of the Company participated in the Offering. Such participation constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance to the related parties is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101in respect of related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to applicable securities laws.
HealthSpace CEO, Silas Garrison commented "We are very pleased with both the investor feedback and support we received through this placement. As we have already laid a lot of ground work for growth in 2021, these funds will help us execute more effectively while enabling us to increase our growth into other areas of the government market. The past two years have been a transformative time for the company and we are now perfectly positioned to disrupt the entire marketplace with one of the first no-code platforms for government. Not only does this disrupt the status-quo of many competitors in the space, it creates a new paradigm for what it means to adopt technology for government."
