VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Mednow Inc. (TSXV: MNOW) (OTCQX: MDNWF) ("Mednow" or the "Company"), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy, is pleased to announce that further to its news releases dated November 7, 2022 and January 12, 2023, the Company has closed the first tranche of its private placement offering of secured convertible debentures (each, a “Convertible Debenture”) of up to $4,000,000 (the “Offering”). The Company closed on gross proceeds of $1,800,000 at price of $1,000 per Convertible Debenture as part of the first tranche of the Offering.

Ali Reyhany, CEO and Co-Founder, invested $1,800,000 as part of the Offering. This investment, when combined with previous investments he has made directly or indirectly in Mednow’s stock, cumulatively represents over $2,245,000 since the company’s initial public offering in March 2021.

For additional details regarding the terms of the Offering please refer to the Company’s news releases dated November 7, 2022 and January 12, 2023.

The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering are intended to be used for strategic acquisition opportunities, working capital and for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance.

The Convertible Debentures issued under the first tranche of the Offering were issued to an insider of the Company and such participation is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101”). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected completion of the first tranche of the Offering, as the details and amounts of the insider participation were not finalized until closer to the closing and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.

The Offering remains subject to receipt of TSXV approval and all other necessary regulatory approvals.
