Mednow Digital Pharmacy Integrates Pharmacist House Calls Into Medvisit, Its Doctor Home Visit Company, and Announces Amended Terms and Upsize of Senior Secured Convertible Debenture Financing

• Medvisit is Canada’s oldest doctor home visit company and the largest in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It was acquired by Mednow in August 2021
• Mednow Pharmacists will perform an in-home medication review and medication cabinet clean up for eligible housebound patients under the Ontario Drug benefits program
• The Medication reconciliation will attempt to flag any potential medication issues for the physician in an easy-to-use report
• Medvisit service has been provided to over 400,000 patients in the GTA, serviced by over 100 Doctors
• Mednow Pharmacy continues it’s push for more clinical services for patients, provided conveniently at their homes

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mednow Inc (TSXV:MNOW) (OTCQX:MDNWF), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy has expanded its suite of services to its at-home Medvisit and other patients.

Medvisit’s expanded suite of services includes an at-home medication review program for patients who are not physically able to attend a community pharmacy. The addition of the at-home medication review program, conducted by our team of licensed traveling pharmacists, allows the physician who will see the patient afterwards to focus on treating the patient and not on performing a medication history. Pharmacists are experts in drug therapy and can help as part of the medical team to make processes more efficient. The service is covered for eligible and consenting patients by the Ontario Drug Benefits Program. It is an example of non-dispensing related revenue available to pharmacies in Canada’s largest province.

“By offering this service to patients who are unable to physically visit a pharmacy, we believe we are able to improve medication management and adherence, leading to better health outcomes for our patients. The key is collaborating with the physicians who appreciate a pharmacist doing the medication reconciliation. We all know a senior who could use help cleaning out their medication cabinet, doing a run through of all their medications with a pharmacist, and ensuring that a pharmacist-doctor team can help where needed. We are confident that this program will be well-received by both our existing Medvisit patients and new users and look forward to its contribution to our overall growth and success. Most importantly it is in line with our promise to bring the power of the pharmacy and pharmacist conveniently to where people live,” says CEO and Co-Founder, Ali Reyhany.

Medvisit is Canada’s largest and longest standing doctor house call service, having been in operation for over 30 years. Medvisit conducts approximately 30,000 patient home visits per year and has served over 400,000 patients since inception. Patients that are unable to leave their home rely on over 100 doctors in the Medvisit network for the treatment of acute and episodic illness and injury.

The combination of pharmacy and doctor home visits through the Mednow platform has created synergies that greatly benefit patients. By offering a comprehensive review of their medications and treatment plan prior to our in-home medication visits, Mednow and Medvisit are able to provide the highest level of care at the forefront of chronic disease management.

“Medvisit is a very attractive platform for Mednow as we strive to become a household name in Canadian healthcare. Combined with our virtual care business, we can now send a physician to a patient’s home when a virtual visit is not adequate to meet the patients needs in the GTA. Our fully digital pharmacy, unique medication adherence solutions and telemedicine offering are ideal compliments for Medvisit’s client base that have limitations on mobility. The market for pharmacy and healthcare services in Canada is large and remains ripe for positive disruption. Mednow aims to continue adding services to its platform that change the way healthcare is delivered to patients,” said Ali Reyhany, CEO and Co-Founder of Mednow.

Through the Medvisit patient network, Mednow is well positioned to offer a full platform of services to a large subset of patients that can benefit greatly from a full suite of digital healthcare and delivery services.

Mednow is focused on improving delivery of pharmacy services in Canada through digitization to provide better patient access to pharmacists, doctors and other healthcare professionals. Mednow offers instant access to pharmacists in the Mednow app (Apple | Android | web browser) or on the phone (1-855-MEDNOW-1) and offers fast, free delivery of prescription medication to patients across Canada.

Mednow is also pleased to announce that further to its news release dated November 7, 2022, the Company has amended the terms and increased the size of its private placement offering of secured convertible debentures (each, a “Convertible Debenture”) to up to $4,000,000 (the “Offering”). In addition, the Company has elected to carry out the Offering on a non-brokered basis as opposed to a "commercially reasonable efforts" agency offering basis as previously contemplated. In connection with the revised terms of the Offering, the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) has approved an extension for completion of the Offering to February 9, 2023.

The Company has amended certain terms applicable to the Convertible Debentures previously announced on November 7, 2022. Each Convertible Debenture will bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum and mature eighteen (18) months following the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture (the “Principal Amount”) will be convertible into 5,555 units (each a “Unit”) based on a conversion price of $0.18 per Unit (the “Conversion Price”). Each Convertible Debenture will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time during the period beginning on the later of: (i) the four month anniversary of the date of issuance of the Convertible Debenture; and (ii) the date on which the Company completes an equity financing with aggregate proceeds to the Company of at least $4,000,000 (other than pursuant to the Offering), and ending on the Maturity Date.

Each Unit will consist of one Class A common share in the capital of Mednow (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.25 per Common Share for a period of 48 months from the date of issuance thereof, subject to applicable policies of the TSXV.

The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering are intended to be used for strategic acquisition opportunities, working capital and for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance.

The Offering remains subject to receipt of TSXV approval and all other necessary regulatory approvals.
