PDH Premier Diversified Holdings Inc

Premier Diversified Holdings Inc. ("Premier" or the "Company") (TSXV: PDH) announces that it has entered into certain loan agreements, as set out below.

Loan Agreements with MPIC Fund I

Premier entered into a loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) dated November 8, 2022 with MPIC Fund I, LP ("MPIC") for a secured loan in the principal amount of up to USD$130,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan matures on November 8, 2023 and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum.

Premier entered into a loan agreement (“2023 Loan Agreement”) dated January 9, 2023 with MPIC for a secured loan in the principal amount of up to USD$120,000 (the "2023 Loan"). The 2023 Loan matures on January 9, 2024 and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum.

Both the Loan and the 2023 Loan (together, the “MPIC Loans”) are secured with all of the present and after-acquired property of the Company and rank equally in priority with each other and with all of the loans previously made to the Company by MPIC. The MPIC Loans 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. (“MyCare”), a telehealth company.

The Company is not issuing any securities, or paying any bonus, commission or finder's fees on the MPIC Loans. The MPIC Loans are both repayable at any time without penalty. Purposely Platform Inc. and MyCare are generating revenue, and the Company expects to receive re-payment of funds from such entities, allowing it to partially repay some of the funds owed to MPIC. The MPIC Loans are subject to review and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Premier previously entered into a certain loan agreement dated November 20, 2020, as amended November 20, 2021, for a loan from MPIC. The parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan from November 22, 2022 to November 22, 2023. The date of the second amending agreement is November 8, 2022.

Related party transaction disclosure

As MPIC is a control person of Premier, the MPIC Loans and each of 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 Agreement with MyCare MedTech Inc.

Premier previously entered into a certain secured loan agreement with MyCare dated September 28, 2021, for a loan from Premier to MyCare, as amended July 11, 2022. Pursuant to a second amending agreement dated October 1, 2022, the parties agreed to increase the principal amount of the loan to $640,000 from $400,000.

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 MI 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.
