Key Acquisition and Credit Facility highlights:
- Adding Significant Operating Scale, Top-Line Growth and Expected to Accelerate the Path to Profitability
- The Company believes the Acquisition of Success TMS’ 47 TMS centers in the states of Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Nevada and Wisconsin is highly complementary to Greenbrook’s existing management regions.
- The Company expects that the Acquisition has the potential to add more than US$30 million in consolidated revenues to the combined company on a full-year basis, representing significant growth over Greenbrook’s current fiscal 2021 revenues of approximately US$52 million.
- The Company anticipates that near term post-Acquisition synergies may be able to produce EBITDA positive operations for the combined company and accelerate the Company’s timeline to profitability.
- The Company believes it has the ability to layer on its existing Spravato® program across the Success TMS footprint to drive further growth.
- Recapitalization of the combined business through the Credit Facility
- The Credit Facility provides Greenbrook with immediate access of up to US$55 million in term loans and the potential to access up to an additional US$20 million in loans exclusively for expansion purposes.
- The Company believes the Credit Facility sufficiently capitalizes the business to serve its general working capital needs and to execute on its growth strategy.
- The Company believes the Credit Facility represents a significant vote of confidence by a leading healthcare investor.
- Well-Established Payor Contracting and Access to Robust Physician Networks

- Provides Proven Regional Management Team and Potential Synergies
- Success TMS has an experienced management and operations team.
- Success TMS’ Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Klein, has joined the Company as Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Company’s board of directors, deepening Greenbrook’s managerial expertise, and combining best practices of Greenbrook and Success TMS.
- All Equity Transaction to Build Value Together
- Purchase price consideration for the Acquisition payable entirely in common shares of Greenbrook which is intended to align the interests of the Success TMS team with those of Greenbrook and promote the shared goal of building value together under the Greenbrook brand.

Success TMS Acquisition
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Greenbrook, through its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, TMS NeuroHealth Centers Inc., has acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Success TMS from its parent company, Success Behavioral Holdings, LLC. As consideration for the purchase of Success TMS, its direct and indirect owners (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) have received, in the aggregate, 8,725,995 common shares of Greenbrook (the “Consideration Shares”), and an additional 2,908,665 Consideration Shares have been held back and deposited with an escrow agent, to be released to Benjamin Klein or Greenbrook, as applicable, upon satisfaction of customary working capital and certain other adjustments, including to satisfy any indemnity claims against the Seller Parties.
The purchase price consideration was determined based on the pro forma revenue contribution of the two companies and was fixed at an amount equal to approximately 40% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Greenbrook (the “Common Shares”) on a post-Acquisition basis and subject to adjustments, as described above.
The Seller Parties are subject to a 12-month lock-up period in respect of the Common Shares issued or issuable to them in connection with the Acquisition. The Seller Parties have also received certain customary registration rights in connection with the resale of the Common Shares acquired by them in the Acquisition, once the lock-up restrictions have expired.
Success TMS is one of the largest providers of TMS therapy in the United States. Since founding its first TMS center in Florida in 2018, Success TMS has grown to 47 active locations throughout Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Nevada and Wisconsin. The Acquisition has added 47 active TMS centers to Greenbrook’s existing service delivery platform, bringing its total to 193 active TMS centers across the United States. The Acquisition has also provided Greenbrook with a new presence in additional states, including new management regions in Illinois, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
As previously disclosed, the purchase agreement for the Acquisition provides Benjamin Klein with a right to nominate a single representative to the board of directors of Greenbrook for so long as the Seller Parties own at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, subject to certain conditions, including applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements. Benjamin Klein has been appointed to the board of directors as the board nominee, effective immediately.
Debt Financing
The Credit Facility provides Greenbrook with a US$55 million term loan, which was funded on closing. In addition, the Credit Facility permits Greenbrook to incur up to an additional US$20 million in a single draw at any time on or prior to December 31, 2024 for purposes of funding future M&A activity. All amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 9.0%, subject to a minimum three-month LIBOR floor of 1.5%. The Credit Facility matures over 63 months and provides for four years of interest-only payments.
The Credit Facility also provides Madryn with the option to convert up to US$5 million of the outstanding principal amount of the loan into Common Shares at a price per share equal to a 15% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares as of the closing date of the transaction, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) prior to each such issuance.
