The Transaction consisted of a reverse take-over

Corporation changed its name from “Physinorth Acquisition
Corporation Inc.” to “Premier Health of America Inc.”.
As a result of the Transaction, the GPS Entities
are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation and the
Corporation will continue the business of the GPS Entities, which
consists in providing staffing services and focusing on providing
independent labour force to the healthcare sector, initially
providing services directly to hospitals and institutions. The GPS
Entities have developed a specialized healthcare services platform
that provides an effective and comprehensive range of staffing and
outsourced services solutions for healthcare needs to governments,
corporations, and individuals. Services are provided through GPS
