Premier Diversified Holdings Inc. ("
Premier" or
the "
Company") (TSXV: PDH) announces that it has
entered into certain agreements, as set out below, and also
includes an update on its partially-held subsidiary, ZED
Therapeutics Inc.
Loan Agreement
Premier entered into a loan agreement
(“Loan Agreement”) dated September 7, 2022 with
MPIC Fund I, LP ("MPIC") for a secured loan in the
principal amount of up to USD$100,000 (the
"Loan"). The Loan matures on September 7, 2023 and
bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Loan is secured with
all of the present and after-acquired property of the Company and
ranks equally in priority with all of the loans previously made to
the Company by MPIC. The Loan will be used for working capital
(including for Premier’s partially owned subsidiaries, Purposely
Platform Inc. and MyCare MedTech Inc.) and may be used to acquire
an additional interest in MyCare MedTech Inc., a telehealth
company.
The Company is not issuing any securities, or
paying any bonus, commission or finder's fees on the Loan. The Loan
is repayable at any time without penalty. Purposely Platform Inc.
and MyCare MedTech Inc. are generating revenue, and the Company
expects to shortly receive re-payment of funds from such entities,
allowing it to partially repay some of the funds owed to MPIC. The
Loan Agreement is subject to review and acceptance by the TSX
Venture Exchange.

agreement dated July 15, 2020, as amended July 15, 2021, for a loan

Related party transaction disclosure
As MPIC is a control person of Premier, the Loan
Agreement and the amended loan agreements described above each
constitute "related party transactions" within the meaning of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security
holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
These agreements have been determined to be exempt from the
requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder
approval based on sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101.
Premier does not have securities listed or
quoted on any of the specified markets listed in section 5.5(b) of
MI 61-101. Premier is relying on the exemption from minority
shareholder approval in 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101 as the loans were
obtained by Premier from MPIC on reasonable commercial terms that
are not less advantageous to Premier than if the loans had been
obtained from a person dealing at arm’s length with Premier.
Further, the loans are not convertible, directly or indirectly,
into equity or voting securities of Premier or a subsidiary entity
of the issuer, or otherwise participating in nature, or repayable
as to principal or interest, directly or indirectly, in equity or
voting securities of Premier or a subsidiary entity of the
issuer.
Amended Loan Agreements with MyCare
MedTech Inc.
Premier previously entered into a certain sixth
amended and restated secured loan agreement dated September 30,
2021, for a loan from Premier to MyCare MedTech Inc.
(“MyCare”). The parties agreed to extend the
maturity date of the loan from September 30, 2022, to September 29,
2023. The date of the seventh amended and restated secured loan
agreement is August 29, 2022.
Premier previously entered into a certain
secured loan agreement with MyCare dated September 28, 2021, for a
loan from Premier to MyCare. The parties agreed to increase the
principal amount of the loan and to extend the maturity date of the
loan from September 30, 2022, to September 29, 2023. The date of
the amending loan agreement is July 11, 2022.
Related Party Transaction disclosure
Premier is a control person of MyCare, and the
amendments to the MyCare Loans constitute "related party
transactions" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101.
These amendments have been determined to be exempt from the
requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder
approval on the basis of being a "downstream" transaction.
ZED Therapeutics Inc.
In July 2022, the management of ZED Therapeutics
Inc. (“ZED”) informed the Company of its decision
to voluntarily dissolve ZED and its subsidiaries. Certain of ZED’s
assets located in Oregon were sold for net proceeds of
approximately USD$885,000. Premier holds 5,144,000 common shares of
ZED. ZED’s management advised that it does not expect to have any
funds available for distribution to ZED shareholders once certain
payments are made including closing costs and severance payments to
employees. Premier is currently in the process of obtaining further
information from ZED regarding the asset sale.
