Tuesday, April 1, 2025Company Profile | Follow Company
Vancouver, BC, April 1, 2025--(T-Net)--WELL Health Technologies (TSX: WELL), a digital healthcare company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology, announced today that it intends to amend and exercise its call right and acquire a majority controlling interest in HEALWELL AI Inc.
HEALWELL is a healthcare artificial intelligence company focused on preventative care. Well Health said in a release that its action will be concurrent with the anticipated additional closing of HEALWELL's proposed acquisition of Auckland, New Zealand-based Orion Health Holdings Limited on April 1, 2025.
Orion Health is a subscription license and services revenue business serving marquee public sector clients globally with data interoperability and healthcare navigation products and services.
Following the exercise of the Call Right and acquisition of majority control of HEALWELL, WELL will begin to consolidate the financial results of HEALWELL under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as a subsidiary of the Company from April 1, 2025 forward.
WELL anticipates HEALWELL to contribute approximately $160 million in revenue with positive Adjusted EBITDA¹ to WELL's consolidated financial statements over the next 12 months.²

Hamed Shahbazi, Founder and CEO of WELL, commented, "The exercise of the call right represents a key milestone for WELL's strategic investment in HEALWELL since WELL first acquired an interest in HEALWELL in 2023. By combining our scale and national footprint with HEALWELL's expertise in AI and Orion's experience in implementing global health information systems, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver cutting-edge AI-enabled solutions that will enhance patient care and drive innovation."
Summary of HEALWELL's Proposed Acquisition of Orion Health
On December 16, 2024, HEALWELL and Orion Health entered into a share purchase agreement, pursuant to which HEALWELL agreed to acquire 100% of the shares of Orion Health for total consideration of approximately $175 million, subject to certain adjustments.
Orion Health² has close to 400 employees with offices in 11 countries globally. Its software solutions currently support over 70 public and private sector customers representing a population of 150 million lives world-wide. Orion Health² is expected to generate over $100 million in revenues mostly from subscription licenses and services with strong double digit Adjusted EBITDA¹ margins.
HEALWELL's acquisition of Orion Health will provide opportunities for global health systems to access HEALWELL's best-in-class AI technology to deliver actionable insights and drive better healthcare outcomes, and significantly scales HEALWELL's platform by deepening its penetration into the public sector, supported by Orion Health's long-standing government relationships and broader customer base.
Moreover, it will help unlock substantial revenue synergy potential, as well as improved operational efficiencies and cost savings, through shared services with WELL. Collectively, these advantages will strengthen WELL's financial profile, creating a larger, scalable business with substantial growth and value creation potential.
On HEALWELL's acquisition of Orion Health, WELL says it further intends to exercise its director nomination rights under its previously disclosed investor rights agreement between WELL and HEALWELL dated October 1, 2023, which permits WELL to nominate a majority of the board of directors of HEALWELL.
Consequently, WELL plans to nominate two additional independent directors to the board of directors of HEALWELL. WELL anticipates that Hamed Shahbazi will remain as a director and Chair of the board of directors of HEALWELL, and Erik Danudjaja, currently the Senior Associate of Corporate Development and Strategy of WELL, will remain as a director of HEALWELL.
