VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 28, 2022 /CNW/ - CareSpan Health, Inc. (TSXV: CSPN) ("Company" or "CareSpan"), is pleased to announce that it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") from 10,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") to 11,000,000 Units, and that it has closed the Private Placement for gross proceeds of $1,100,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, the Company issued 11,000,000 Shares and 5,500,000 Warrants.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid an eligible arm's length party (the "Finder"): (i) a cash fee of 7% of the aggregate value of Units sold pursuant Private Placement in respect of subscriptions referred to the Company or directly sourced by the Finder and issued on the closing of the Private Placement; and (ii) a number of common share purchase warrants (each a "Finder Warrant") equal to 7% of the Units sold that were referred to or directly sourced by the Finder to the Company. The Company paid the Finder a cash fees in the aggregate amount of $9,100 and issued a total of 91,000 Finder Warrants. The Finder Warrants will be issued on the same terms as the Warrants.

The securities issued under the Private Placement were offered by way of private placement in Canada, to certain subscribers in the United States, and outside the United States, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period which will expire on April 23, 2023.

Related Party	Subscription Amount (Units)	Subscription Amount ($)
Rembert de Villa (Chief Executive Officer)	684,350 Units	$68,435.00
