Thetford Mines, QC - TheNewswire - May 5, 2023 - KDA Group Inc. (TSXV:KDA) (“KDA” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the restructuring, as of May 4, 2023, of its total debt owed to Persistence Capital Partners II, L.P. and Persistence Capital Partners II (International), L.P., (collectively “PCP”).

Following the closing of the sale of the Corporation’s pharmacist and pharmacy technical assistant placement agency activities previously announced on May 4, 2023, KDA concluded, as of yesterday, a debt restructuring with PCP according to which:

• KDA executed a partial repayment of $3,000,000 of the accrued amounts owing to PCP 

• KDA and PCP entered into share exchange agreements according to which the 4,000,000 Series B-1 Preferred Shares and 2,886,819 Series B-2 Preferred Shares held by PCP (the “Exchanged Preferred Shares”) have been exchanged for 1,461,000 Series B-3 Preferred Shares (the “New Series B-3 Preferred Shares”). Among others, the New Series B-3 Preferred Shares held by PCP have similar rights to the Exchanged Preferred Shares regarding voting and dividends, include a “step-up” feature with respect to their liquidation entitlement and are not convertible into common shares of the Corporation. 

• KDA and PCP signed a payment agreement and related documents allowing the Corporation to extend the maturity date of the notes held by PCP and the New Series B-3 Preferred Shares until December 31, 2023. 

“KDA’s management is proud to have found common ground with PCP to conclude this restructuring of PCP’s total debt. This allows the Corporation to improve its current and future financial position, and I would like to thank PCP for their collaboration,” said Marc Lemieux, Chief Executive Officer of KDA.
