The deal is contingent on Empower completing a debt or equity financing to raise minimum gross proceeds of C$750,000. The company has entered into an agreement with Mackie Research Capital Corporation for a private placement of up to C$1,100,000. The private placement is scheduled to close on or about the week of November 2, 2020, and the acquisition is expected to occur on or about November 10, 2020.

“The acquisition of Momentum Health is expected to advance the direction and growth prospects for Empower overall,” said Steven McAuley, Empowers Chairman & CEO. “As we continue to position Empower as an integrated healthcare company, bringing alternative care together with primary care facilities enables us to deploy a better healthcare model, based on progressive technology and in-person care. Having Dr. Rabinowitz and Dr. Tsimerman join me in leadership to rapidly expand Empowers clinic footprint across Canada is another important step toward our growth objectives.”

Empower is a vertically integrated health and wellness company serving a database of 165,000 patients through clinics in the southwest United States, a telemedicine platform and a world-class medical diagnostics laboratory. Momentum Health operates a network of medical clinics with a comprehensive team of physicians and therapists who apply a holistic and hands-on approach working with patients to unlock potential well-being.

Moreover, the proposed acquisition includes incentives for the two Co-Founders of Momentum Health to open an additional 30 clinics across Canada.
