MONTREAL, Oct. 1, 2020 /CNW/ - Carebook Technologies Inc. ("Carebook" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian digital health company, announced today that it has completed its previously announced business combination with Pike Mountain Minerals Inc. ("Pike") involving a three-cornered amalgamation of Carebook, Pike and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pike ("Pike Subco").

The business combination resulted in, among other things, (i) the reverse takeover of Pike by the former securityholders of Carebook, (ii) Pike changing its name to "Carebook Technologies Inc." (the "Resulting Issuer") and (iii) the anticipated listing of the Resulting Issuer's common shares (the "Resulting Issuer Common Shares") on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") (the "Transaction").

In connection with the Transaction, and as previously announced, Carebook had raised private placement financings in the aggregate amount of C$21,000,000 (the "Private Placements") led by Canaccord Genuity.

As previously disclosed, Carebook received conditional approval from the TSX-V on September 25, 2020 for the listing of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares on the TSX-V.

Subject to the Resulting Issuer fulfilling the customary listing conditions imposed by the TSX-V, and following the issuance by the TSX-V of its final bulletin in respect of the Transaction, trading in the Resulting Issuer Common Shares is expected to commence on the TSX-V under the symbol "CRBK" on or about October 6, 2020.

"The Carebook team has worked diligently over the past several months on closing the reverse takeover in anticipation of an upcoming listing on the TSX-V," said Pascale Audette, Chief Executive Officer of Carebook. "Our mandate to transform the global health industry with our powerful digital platform is strengthened with this additional capital generated by the private placement. With these new resources behind us, we will continue to lead the way to provide accessible, connected health for companies and individuals."

Under the Transaction, Carebook and Pike Subco amalgamated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and the amalgamated entity continued as wholly-owned subsidiary of Pike.

In addition, Pike consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares ("Pike Common Shares") on the basis of one new Pike Common Share for every 13.187 existing Pike Common Shares.

For additional information about the Transaction, please refer to Pike's press releases dated June 26, 2020, August 7, 2020 and September 28, 2020, as well as its management information circular dated August 7, 2020 and the listing application on Form 2B dated September 28, 2020 submitted by Carebook (the "Listing Application"), each of which is available under the Resulting Issuer's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

There are numerous other factors, many of which are out of Pike's and Carebook's control, that could cause Pike's and Carebook's actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements and information. Such factors include, among others, currency fluctuations; limited business history of the parties; disruptions or changes in the credit or security markets or the economy generally; results of operation activities and development of projects; unanticipated costs and expenses; and general market and industry conditions. These factors and fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the Resulting Issuer's securities, regardless of its operating performance.
