("TRC"), the parent company of Think Research Corporation, regarding a proposed transaction to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of TRC (the "Transaction"). Upon completion of the Transaction, the combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue the business of TRC.

The LOI provides that it will be superseded and replaced with a binding definitive agreement that will contain customary covenants, representations, warranties and other terms for agreements of a like nature (the "Agreement").

About AIM4

AIM4 was incorporated on November 29, 2018 under the OBCA and is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The Transaction is intended to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of the Company as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 - "Capital Pool Companies" (the "Policy") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") Corporate Finance Manual.

Terms of the Transaction

Subject to Exchange acceptance, the completion of the Concurrent Financing and the HCP Acquisition (each as defined below), and the satisfaction of other conditions to be contained in the Agreement, the Transaction will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement pursuant to the OBCA, the result of which will be that each common share of TRC (each, a "TRC Share") will be exchanged for common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") at a ratio to be determined by the parties (which is presently intended to be 1:1) (the "Exchange Ratio"). The issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares of TRC (the "Preferred Shares") will be acquired, redeemed or repurchased in connection with the Transaction in a manner determined by the parties hereto to be beneficial or advisable.

Immediately prior to the Transaction, each common share of AIM4 (each, an "AIM4 Share"), will be consolidated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the "Consolidation").

Prior to the completion of the proposed Transaction, each (a) option to acquire TRC Shares (each, a "TRC Option") will be exchanged at the Exchange Ratio (or such other ratio to be determined by the parties) for options to acquire Resulting Issuer Shares on substantially the same terms as such TRC Option; and (b) warrant to purchase TRC Shares (each, a "TRC Warrant") will be exchanged at the Exchange Ratio (or such other ratio to be determined by the parties) for warrants to acquire Resulting Issuer Shares on substantially the same terms as such TRC Warrant.

The proposed Transaction is not a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction pursuant to the Policy. As a result, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the proposed Transaction pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. However, AIM4 shall hold a shareholder meeting to approve, among other matters: (i) the Transaction; (ii) the Consolidation; (iii) if necessary, the adoption of a new general by-law; (iv) the election of the Board Nominees (as defined below) if determined necessary according to applicable law; (v) the Name Change (as defined below); and (vi) if necessary, the adoption of a new equity compensation plan. TRC shall hold a shareholder meeting to approve, among other matters, the Transaction.

Board of Directors and Management and Name Change

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and approval by the Exchange and the filing of all required materials, including personal information forms, the members of the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer will be determined at the sole discretion of TRC (the "Board Nominees"). Management of the Resulting Issuer will be determined at the sole discretion of TRC.

It is intended that the Resulting Issuer change its name to such name as determined by TRC, in its sole discretion (the "Name Change").

HCP Acquisition

Prior to closing of the Transaction ("Closing"), TRC, or a wholly owned subsidiary thereof, intends to acquire all the issued and outstanding securities of HealthCare Plus NewCo (the "HCP Acquisition").

Concurrent Financing

Concurrent with closing of the Transaction, it is proposed that TRC will complete an equity financing (the "Concurrent Financing") by way of a brokered private placement of securities for gross proceeds of not less than $25,000,000. It is intended that a portion of the proceeds of the Concurrent Financing will be used to fund the HCP Acquisition and the acquisition, redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Shares.

The structure of the Transaction and the Concurrent Financing will be determined by the parties on the basis of securities, tax and corporate law considerations, as well as the rules and policies of the Exchange. It is intended that the Concurrent Financing will be sold through Canaccord Genuity ("CGF") as the lead selling agent. If necessary, CGF will also serve as the sponsor of the Transaction in accordance with the rules and policies of the Exchange. As consideration for CGF serving as lead selling agent and, if applicable, as sponsor, TRC will pay to CGF fees in such amounts to be negotiated with CGF on terms consistent with transactions similar to the Concurrent Financing and the Transaction.

Conditions to Closing

The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:

  • the Company shall complete the Consolidation;

  • TRC shall have completed the Concurrent Financing and the HCP Acquisition;

  • the parties will have received all necessary regulatory and third-party consents, approvals and authorizations as may be required in respect of the Transaction, including, but without limitation, acceptance of the Exchange;

  • completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the parties;

  • approval of the board of directors of each party to final terms and conditions of the Transaction as set forth in the Agreement and all other necessary matters related thereto prior to the signing of the Agreement;

  • the signing of the Agreement;

  • completion of all matters, and the satisfaction of all conditions (unless waived in writing), under the Agreement required to be completed or satisfied on or before closing of the Transaction including but not limited to completion of the Concurrent Financing; and

  • the securityholders of each party will have approved the Transaction, if required, and matters ancillary thereto.

Additional Information

Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a capital pool company is required by the Exchange unless an exemption or waiver from the sponsorship requirement is available. The Company and TRC are currently reviewing the requirements for and may apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. The Company and TRC intend to include any additional information regarding sponsorship in a subsequent press release.

Trading in the AIM4 Shares is presently halted. It is uncertain whether the shares of the Company will resume trading until the Transaction is completed and approved by the Exchange.

The Company will issue additional press releases related to the final legal structure of the Transaction, financing terms, sponsorship, financial information regarding TRC, the names and background of insiders of the Resulting Issuer and other material information as it becomes available.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and, if applicable, pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange, shareholder approval. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement or information circular to be prepared in connection with the Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
