The Debentures and any common shares issuable upon the due conversion thereof will be subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day following the closing date.

"We are excited to include participation from Mr. Li Ka-shing in this financing," said Hamed Shahbazi, CEO and Chairman of WELL.
