Premier Diversified Holdings Inc. Enters Into Loan Agreement

Not for dissemination in the United States of America.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Loan Agreement

Premier Diversified Holdings Inc. ("Premier" or the "Company") (TSXV: PDH) announces that it has entered into a loan agreement with MPIC Fund I, LP ("MPIC") for a secured loan in the principal amount of up to USD$80,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan matures on July 22, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Loan is secured with all of the present and after-acquired property of the Company and ranks equally in priority with all of the loans previously made to the Company by MPIC. The Loan will be used for working capital and may be used to acquire an additional interest in MyCare MedTech Inc., a telehealth company.

The Company is not issuing any securities, or paying any bonus, commission or finder's fees on the Loan. The Loan is repayable at any time without penalty. The Company expects to partially repay the financing upon receiving funds from some of its Arcola investment, which is expected to partially distribute funds to investors in the first half of August 2021.

Related party transaction disclosure

As MPIC is a control person of Premier, the Loan constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Loan has been determined to be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval based on sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101.

Premier does not have securities listed or quoted on any of the specified markets listed in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101. Premier is relying on the exemption from minority shareholder approval in 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101 as the loan was obtained by Premier from MPIC on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to Premier than if the loan had been obtained from a person dealing at arm’s length with Premier. Further, the loan is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into equity or voting securities of Premier or a subsidiary entity of the issuer, or otherwise participating in nature, or repayable as to principal or interest, directly or indirectly, in equity or voting securities of Premier or a subsidiary entity of the issuer.

The Loan is subject to review and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Amended Loan Agreements with MPIC Fund I, LP.

Premier entered into a loan agreement with MPIC on July 28, 2020 with a principal amount of US$150,000. This loan was supposed to mature on July 28, 2021. MPIC and Premier agreed to extend the maturity date to July 28, 2022.

New Articles of the Company

On June 30, 2021, shareholders of Premier approved the adoption of new Articles of the Company, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSXV granted final approval to the new Articles on July 21, 2021. The Board has determined to proceed with implementation of the new Articles, which are filed on SEDAR. Details of the proposed amendments were included in the management information circular dated June 1, 2021 which is also available on SEDAR.
