Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Chrysalis Capital IX Corporation (“Chrysalis IX” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Inspira Financial Inc. (“Inspira”), which sets forth the general terms and conditions pursuant to which Chrysalis IX will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Inspira.
About Inspira
Inspira is a private Canadian corporation focused on marketing a full range of alternative financial services to healthcare providers and their patients across the United States. Inspira currently offers revolving lines of credit to healthcare providers ranging from US$500,000 to US$5 Million via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Healthcare Receivable Lenders, Inc. (www.healthcarerl.com).
Despite the growth opportunities found in a rapidly aging population and rebounding economy, smaller healthcare providers, those with less than $50 Million in annual revenues, face a challenging finance market - traditional banks continue to reduce their risk profiles, term lenders require personal guarantees and first security over all assets, factoring lenders charge 25%+ annual interest and equipment providers have all but eliminated financing programs. By targeting this large and relatively untapped market, Inspira believes it can generate double-digit returns on government (Medicare/Medicaid) and large healthcare insurance receivables.
From a patient’s perspective, recent changes to the U.S. healthcare system, including the Affordable Care Act, has resulted in a more than quadrupling of the out of pocket deductible portion of medical procedures and services due from the patient, putting enormous pressure on the patient’s ability to pay. Inspira believes its existing relationships with healthcare providers will give it a distinct advantage to market alternative financial services directly to theses patients on a very targeted basis, dramatically reducing acquisition costs.
The Proposed Transaction
It is currently anticipated that Chrysalis IX will acquire Inspira, which will result in the Inspira shareholders holding the majority of the outstanding shares of the resulting issuer (the “Proposed Transaction”).
The Proposed Transaction is a non-arm’s length transaction as Messrs. Robert Munro and Michael Dalsin are principal shareholders, directors and officers of Chrysalis IX and principal shareholders of Inspira Financial.
Additionally, the Proposed Transaction will constitute a “related party transaction”, as that term is defined pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and will be subject to the requirements of same. Accordingly, the Proposed Transaction is subject to the approval of the majority of the minority of Chrysalis IX’s shareholders. The Proposed Transaction has been approved by Chrysalis IX’s independent board members.

- each party being satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of the other;
