Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

 

On February 14, 2017, GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“GreeneStone” or the “Company”), completed a series of transactions (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring Transactions”) described in the Company’s February 14, 2017 Form 8-K. The Restructuring Transactions resulted in, among other transactions, the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Issuance”) to Leon Developments Ltd. (“Leon Developments”) in partial consideration for the sale by Leon Developments of all of the stock of Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. (“CCH”), which in turn owns the Canadian Rehab Clinic real estate. On or about February 23, 2017, following the Stock Issuance, Shawn Leon (President, CEO and CFO of GreeneStone) together with Leon Developments, which is wholly owned and controlled by Shawn Leon, filed a Schedule 13D disclosing that Shawn Leon owns and controls directly 2,260,350 shares of the Company’s common stock, and owns and controls indirectly the 60,000,000 shares held by Leon Developments and 2,687,300 shares held by Greenestone Clinic Inc., which is also wholly owned by Shawn Leon. The Share Issuance resulted in Shawn Leon owning and controlling, directly and indirectly, 59.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.

 

The Restructuring Transactions also resulted in, among other transactions described in the Company’s February 14, 2017 Form 8-K, the sale of the assets of its Canadian Rehab Clinic pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”). Under the APA, GreeneStone agreed to the post-closing requirement that it cease using the name “GreeneStone” within sixty (60) days of the closing of the transaction.

 

In order to comply with the post-closing requirement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) amended the Company’s Bylaws to permit the Board to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation without the consent of the shareholders, except where prohibited by Colorado law. The First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The Board further unanimously consented to change the name of the Company to “Ethema Health Corporation.” Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is the Consent in Lieu of a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors (“Consent Resolution”) dated April 4, 2017, whereby the Board approved the bylaws amendment and the name change. In accordance with the Consent Resolution, Shawn Leon, as CEO of the Company, filed, or caused to be filed, the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, attached here as Exhibit 3 (“Articles of Amendment”), with the Colorado Secretary of State. Pursuant to the filed Articles of Amendment, the Company’s new name is Ethema Health Corporation effective as of April 4, 2017.
