Corp. ("Correvio" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CORV) (TSX: CORV), a specialty pharmaceutical company
focused on commercializing hospital drugs, today announced that it has obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British
Columbia approving the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with ADVANZ PHARMA Corp. Limited
("ADVANZ PHARMA") pursuant to which ADVANZ PHARMA, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mercury Pharma Group Limited
("Mercury"), has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Correvio for a total purchase price
of approximately US$76 million, which includes the repayment of certain Correvio indebtedness, as described in Correvio's information
circular dated April 16, 2020.
The Arrangement was previously approved by
Correvio securityholders at the annual general and special meeting of securityholders held on May 15, 2020.

Correvio's Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer
Certain statements in this news release contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or "forward-looking
information" under applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements").
Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future
revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that may not be based on historical fact. Forward-looking
statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as "believe", "may", "plan", "will",
"estimate", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect", "look forward
to" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions made by us based
on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors
we believe are appropriate.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, achievements,
events or developments to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements, events or developments expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the timing for completion
of the Arrangement, the consideration to be received by securityholders of Correvio, the satisfaction of certain closing conditions
contained in the arrangement agreement and the timing of the delisting of Correvio's common shares from NASDAQ Capital Market and
the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In respect of the forward-looking statements
and information concerning the anticipated completion of the Arrangement and the anticipated timing for completion of the Arrangement,
Correvio has provided them in reliance on certain assumptions and believes that they are reasonable at this time, including the
assumption as to the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the conditions to the closing of the Arrangement. These
dates may change for a number of reasons, including the need for additional time to satisfy the conditions to the completion of
the Arrangement. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in
this new release concerning these times.
These statements reflect Correvio's current
views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by Correvio, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties
and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements
or information and Correvio has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include,
without limitation: risks associated with the arrangement and acquisitions generally, such as the failure to satisfy
the closing conditions contained in the arrangement agreement, the occurrence of a material adverse effect or other events which
may give the parties a basis on which to terminate the arrangement agreement and the risks and uncertainties facing Correvio as
discussed in the annual report and detailed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") available at www.sec.gov and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com. In particular,
we direct your attention to Correvio's Annual Information Form filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR
on March 30, 2020 and Correvio's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on April 29,
2020. All of the risks and certainties disclosed in those filings are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety into this
news release.
While Correvio makes these forward-looking
statements in good faith, given these risks, uncertainties and factors, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements made in this press release. All forward-looking statements made herein are made as of the date hereof based on our current
expectations and we undertake no obligation to revise or update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, information
or circumstances, except as required by law. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and accordingly investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to their inherent
uncertainty.
