Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 23, 2022, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2022 and amended on September 23, 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (the "Company"), the Company's direct subsidiary Inspira Financial Company, its indirect subsidiary Damar Acquisition Company ("Purchaser"), DaMar Plastics Manufacturing, Inc., a California corporation ("DaMar Plastics"), and its shareholders ("Sellers"), the Company consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of DaMar Plastics (the "Stock Purchase").  The consideration for the Stock Purchase was $3,182,193 in cash and 1,576,609 shares of Purchaser common stock ("Purchaser Stock").  In addition, Sellers are entitled to receive an earnout payment consisting of (i) cash equal to the EBITDA of DaMar Plastics for the one-year period ending on February 29, 2024 (the "Earnout Period") up to maximum of $5.5 million; and (ii) that number of shares of Purchaser Stock equal to 75% of EBITDA of DaMar Plastics for the Earnout Period, up to a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of Purchaser Stock (collectively, the "Earnout Consideration").  The equity portion of the Earnout Consideration may be satisfied by the issuance of the Company's Class "A" non-voting common shares (the "Class A Shares") to the Sellers based on the 90-day VWAP of the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") as of the last day of the Earnout Period. 

Pursuant to the terms of a Contribution and Exchange Agreement between the Sellers and the Company executed at the closing of the Stock Purchase, the Purchaser Stock is exchangeable immediately into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis.  The Class A Shares ‎‎have ‎the same attributes as the Common Shares, except that the Class A Shares are not listed on the TSX Venture ‎Exchange, do not carry the ‎right to ‎vote, and are convertible into ‎Common Shares on a one-for-one ‎basis, subject to certain terms and conditions, including a ‎provision ‎prohibiting a ‎holder from converting ‎Class A Shares if it would ‎result in such holder ‎‎holding more than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Shares and/or such holder owning more than 500,000 of Common Shares.

This summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which was included as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 19, 2022, is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company, and should not be relied upon as disclosure about the Company without consideration of the periodic and current reports and statements that the Company files with the SEC.  The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the agreements entered in connection therewith govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, among the parties in relation to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.  In particular, the representations and warranties made by the parties to each other in the Purchase Agreement reflect negotiations between, and are solely for the benefit of, the parties thereto and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Purchase Agreement.  Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact.  The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K not misleading.

On September 26, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other matters, the consummation of the acquisition of DaMar Plastics Manufacturing, Inc.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
