(“LifeSpeak” or the “Company”) (TSX: LSPK), the leading mental health and total wellbeing platform for employers, health plans, and insurance companies, announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire US-based Wellbeats Inc. (“Wellbeats”) for up to US$92.5 million. Wellbeats, a Minnesota-based market-leading provider of an on-demand, software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) physical wellbeing platform, serves a diverse client base of 400+ US and international enterprise clients.
