Vinergy Capital Finalizes Investment in Privately-Backed Healthcare AI Platform Company Adding to its Healthcare AI Portfolio

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 17, 2023 / Vinergy Capital Inc. (the "Company" or "Vinergy") (CSE:VIN)(OTCQB:VNNYF)(FSE:1V7) today announced that further to its press release dated September 8, 2023, the Company has executed definitive agreements for a transaction with an FDA & HIPPA compliant Artificial Intelligence Platform "AIP" doing business as Limmi, a Delaware corporation named Mentorhead Incorporated ("Limmi")‎. The agreement includes an investment of up to 4% outstanding shares of Limmi.

The Limmi AI Platform is a cutting-edge data and analysis artificial intelligence platform for life sciences applications that is both FDA and HIPAA compliant. Through machine learning models, Limmi transforms life science data into actionable insights to transform drug discovery and early disease detection. Vinergy has invested in the Limmi AI Platform to power data analytics for healthcare that improves clinical efficiency and reduce physician burnout, such as smart scheduling tools and resource optimization.

"Vinergy continues to accumulate strategic assets in the bourgeoning US healthcare AI space," Michael Dalsin, Chair of the Investment Committee. "With over 140,000 healthcare facilities throughout the United States, we have identified that there are consistent operational inefficiencies that can be rapidly solved with artificial intelligence. As we execute on our pipeline, we can capture high margin revenue, with limited capital expenditure."

Details of the Investment

The parties entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company will acquire up to 4% of the equity stock of Limmi in consideration for up to US$862,500 in cash. This investment is designed to fund additional artificial intelligence platform tools specific to the healthcare services market. The first equity issuance is anticipated to close within a week of today's announcement, with Limmi issuing to the Company 1% of the equity stock of Limmi in consideration for US$200,000. The balance of the stock issuances will be based on Limmi achieving various developmental and commercial milestones. In addition, in the event that the Company completes an equity offering with a pre-‎money enterprise value of at least US$30,000,000 within 18 months of today's date, the Company will invest to Limmi the lesser of (i) US$400,000, and (ii) 50% of the gross proceeds of such offering.‎

In addition, the parties entered into an intellectual property license and option agreement pursuant to which, Limmi granted to a wholly owned US subsidiary of Vinergy certain rights to the Limmi AI Platform in exchange for common shares (each a, "VAC Share") described below. Vinergy has also been granted an option (the "Option") by Limmi to acquire the Limmi AI Platform for healthcare services exclusively at any time within the next 24 months.

A VAC Share will ‎be exchangeable into Vinergy Class A Shares (as defined below) on a one VAC Share for 100,000 Vinergy Class A Share basis, subject to the following conditions:

(1) 100 VAC Shares shall be exchangeable into Vinergy ‎Class A Shares upon Vinergy raising aggregate gross proceeds of $2,800,000 on a prorate basis;

(2) 50 VAC Shares shall be exchangeable into Vinergy ‎Class A Shares in the event the Company achieves gross profit of at least C$1,250,000 in any quarter;

(3) 200 VAC Shares shall be exchangeable into Vinergy ‎Class A Shares in the event that Vinergy exercises its option for exclusivity of the Limmi AI Platform for healthcare services.

In connection with the foregoing, Vinergy intends to create a new class of non-voting ‎common shares of the ‎Company (the "Vinergy ‎Class A Shares"). It is anticipated that the Vinergy Class ‎‎A Shares ‎‎shall have ‎the same ‎attributes as ‎‎the common shares of the Company, except ‎‎that the Vinergy Class A Shares will not be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, will not carry ‎the ‎‎right to ‎vote, and will be convertible into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions, ‎including a prohibition on the ‎holder of Vinergy Class A Shares from ‎converting ‎ such shares into ‎ Common Shares if it would ‎‎result in such holder ‎‎holding more ‎than 9.9% of the Common Shares.

Vinergy has called an annual and special meeting of its shareholder for December 1, 2023 wherein it intends to seek approval of shareholders by way of a special resolution authorizing an amendment of the Company's Notice of Articles under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) to create the Vinergy Class ‎‎A Shares.

In connection with the transactions noted above, Vinergy has agreed to pay an arm's length finder 1,000,000 Common Shares. The Common Shares to be issued in connection with the transactions are being issued at a deemed price of $0.18 per Common Share, being the discounted market price of the Common Shares on the date of execution of the letter of intent between Vinergy and Limmi.

This transaction will complement Vinergy's existing investment roadmap, focusing on the U.S. healthcare AI component. The Company's investment is made in compliance with the Company's investment policy, which focuses on investments in diversified and innovative sectors, including artificial intelligence technology and healthcare.
