Centric Health Finalizes LifeMark Earn Out And Adjusts Shares To Be Issued To Vendors

"With the base business being financially sound, the cancellation of shares should enhance future earnings per share and importantly removes any uncertainty from the market arising from the complexity of this transaction," said Peter Walkey, Chief Financial Officer of Centric Health.

"Although the outcome fell short of our original expectations as a result mainly of the regulatory impact on the assessment business, we believe strongly in the exciting vision and growth of Centric Health," said Craig Gattinger, CEO of LifeMark.
