The Company has also agreed to invest US$1,000,000 for expansion capital into Telehospital within 60 days of Telehospital developing a new expansion plan following the acquisition closing.
Key personnel of Telehospital will be required to enter into exclusive three-year employment agreements to remain and build the telehealth business.
Closing is targeted for the end of January 2022. Closing will be subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to, required regulatory approvals including the TSX Venture Exchange, satisfactory due diligence and obtaining financing to fund the cash balance of the purchase price.
Through its patented technology and telehealth services, Telehospital and its affiliate telehealth provider have grown their client base to over 20 facilities and physician practices with annual revenues for 2021 approaching US$6 million and EBITDA of almost $1 million. 2020 revenues were US$4,716,416 with a net income of US$711,042. Telehospital and its affiliate telehealth provider have US$2,130,940 in assets and US$1,485,860 in liabilities as at December 31, 2020.
Telehospital is located in the U.S. mid-west and has been in operation for seven years. Telehospital and its affiliate telehealth provider are focused on remote medical care, particularly for rural and underserviced communities. The hospitals and patients in these rural communities often are left without access to specialists and in some cases do not have access to 24-hour emergency care.
Telehospital has created its own examination cart and peripherals that can be easily utilized by onsite staff to provide real time data to remote hospitalists and subspecialists for ER or hospital patients. In many cases, a general GP, ER doctor, or nurse will utilize the company's affiliated medical specialists while treating the patient.
In addition to continued growth in its home state, Leveljump believes it can expand Telehospital services to nearby states. There is also a need for teleradiology amongst Telehospital and its telehealth affiliates' clients that can be met by Leveljump's CTS subsidiary allowing for immediate synergies and revenue growth once the acquisition is closed.
"This acquisition will assist Leveljump Healthcare grow its core business of providing a complete array of telehealth solutions, with a focus on underserviced communities," said Mitch Geisler, CEO. "Expansion into the U.S., along with the patent technology, is part of our strategic growth strategy and belief in the resources we have to grow Telehospital into a leading national brand."
Any securities issued in connection with this transaction will be subject to regulatory hold periods of not less than four months and one day from the date of issue.
