Highlights of Transaction:

The acquisition of Imagine Health solidifies Datametrex's focus and strategy in the healthcare industry. The healthcare strategy provides significant growth potential in a non-volatile industry for the Company and its shareholders. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the total gross clinical payments to physicians reached $29.4 billion in 2019-2020, a 4.3% increase over the previous year.

According to IBIS World, the market size of the Pharmacies & Drug Stores industry in Canada is $50.4bn in 2022. (Source: https://www.ibisworld.com/canada/market-size/pharmacies-drug-stores/)

The size and scope of both industries represent a significant opportunity for the Company. Imagine Health Centres developed proprietary processes that maximize patient experiences while improving health outcomes. The Company is excited about growing Imagine Health Centres and duplicating these processes and procedures across Canada.

Imagine Health Centres have been operating for over five years in Calgary and Edmonton. The centres had a strong client base with gross revenue from operations last year of approximately $5 million. The gross profit margins have been strong, ranging from 40-45% over the past three years. The location in downtown Calgary is strategically located at Bow Valley College Campus, which has been experiencing growth in the number of patients.

This acquisition provides Datametrex with a turnkey opportunity for a fully operational health clinic business, which integrates with the Company's other medical initiatives in telehealth, Medi-Call Inc. The Company has plans to expand additional Imagine Health Centres across Canada with an immediate focus on B.C. and Ontario. Each centre is a fully equipped medical clinic with a volume of patients and is fully staffed with a diverse team of physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, chiropractors, pharmacists, massage therapists and other allied health team members. Imagine Health is multidisciplinary and incorporates a wide range of medical services under one clinic.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid a cash consulting fee of $104,000 to 1912166 Alberta Ltd., an arm's length party. Issuance of the Consideration Shares and payment of consulting fee are subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

The acquisition of Imagine Health does not constitute a fundamental change or result in a change of business for the Company, nor is it expected to result in a change of control of the Company within the meaning of applicable securities laws and defined in the policies of the TSXV.
