November 2014
Disclaimer
This Confidential Presentation (the “Document”) on the proposed financing (“the Transaction”) by Mettrum Ltd. (“Mettrum” or the “Company”) has been compiled by management of the Company solely for information
purposes. The Document has been prepared and dated as of October 3 , 2014 and the information contained herein is current as of such date only. The Document is for the confidential use by the recipient in order
to assist such recipient in deciding whether to proceed with an in-depth investigation of the Transaction contemplated herein. The Document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed to be, an offering of
securities. Neither this Document, nor its delivery to the recipient shall constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy the assets described herein. It is provided solely for use by prospective investors in
considering their interest.
The information contained herein has been prepared to assist interested parties in making their own evaluation of the Company and its business and does not purport to contain all the information that prospective
investors may require. Prospective investors should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the Company and its business and the information contained in this Document as well as any additional information
provided by the Company.
This Document includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including the “safe harbour” provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and other provincial securities law in Canada.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to our objectives, goals and strategies to achieve those objectives and goals, as well as statements with respect to our beliefs, plans,
objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. The words “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “suspect”, “outlook”, “believe”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “forecast”,
“objective” and “continue” (or the negative thereof), and words and expressions of similar import, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking
statements will not be achieved. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.
The Company strongly cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as a number of important factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ
materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: general economic
conditions; pending and proposed legislative or regulatory developments in Canada including the impact of changes in laws, regulations and the enforcement thereof; reliance on funding models in Canada;
operational and infrastructure risks including possible equipment failure and performance of information technology systems; intensifying competition resulting from established competitors and new entrants in the
businesses in which the Company operates; insurance coverage of sufficient scope to satisfy any liability claims; fluctuations in total patients and customers; technological change and obsolescence; loss of services
of key senior management personnel; privacy laws; structural subordination of common shares; leverage and restrictive covenants; fluctuations in cash timing and amount of capital expenditures; tax-related risks;
unpredictability and volatility of the price of the Company’s securities; dilution; and future sales of the Company’s securities.
The foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When reviewing the Company’s forward-looking statements, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors
and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by Canadian securities law, the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made
from time to time by the Company or on the Company’s behalf. Such statements speak only as of the date made.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Document should not be relied upon as representing the view of the Company or its management as of any date subsequent to the date of this Document. Neither the
Company nor its management is under any obligation, and neither undertakes, to update any of this information at any particular time. Neither the Company nor its management assumes any obligation to update or
revise forward-looking statements should circumstances or estimates or opinions changes.
None of the Company or its affiliated or related partnerships and corporations or their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, agents or representatives makes any representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or completeness of the Document or any statements, estimates or projections, and none will assume any liability for any representations (express or implied) contained in, or for any omissions from, the
Document, or for any other written or oral communications transmitted to prospective investors in the course of their evaluation of the Company and its business. An investor will only be entitled to rely on those
representations and warranties contained in the definitive agreement or agreements which constitute the financing.
Use of this Document is restricted to parties to whom the Company delivers the Document and the recipient and its representatives shall keep confidential all information contained herein or otherwise provided in
connection with the proposed financing which is not already public or which is not subsequently made public, and will use the Document only for the purpose set forth above. In addition, each recipient will not copy,
reproduce or distribute the Document in whole or in part to others, at any time, without the prior express written consent of the Company.
NON-IFRS MEASURES
There are a number of non-IFRS measures used in this Document, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). For the purposes of this Document, EBITDA is calculated as
revenue less cost of sales and operating expenses. The Company believes that these non-IFRS measures are appropriate measures of the operating performance of the Company. The Company’s calculation of
these measures may differ from the methodology used by other issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other issuers. The Company believes that these measures are appropriate measures of the
Company’s operating performance because they facilitate an understanding of operating performance without giving effect to certain non-cash and overhead expenses. None of these measures are equivalent to net
income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS
