ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

As previously announced, on February 6, 2021, CRH Medical Corporation ("CRH" or the "Company") entered into a definitive Arrangement Agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with WELL Health Technologies Corp. ("WELL"), WELL Health Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of WELL (the "Purchaser"), and 1286392 B.C. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of WELL ("Finco," and together with the Purchaser and WELL, the "WELL Parties") with respect to the proposed acquisition by WELL (through its subsidiaries) of all the issued and outstanding shares of CRH at a price of US$4.00 per share, by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA," and such transaction, the "Arrangement"). The Plan of Arrangement provides that, immediately prior to the transfer of CRH shares, Finco and the Purchaser will be amalgamated and continued as one corporation under the BCBCA. The entity formed upon such amalgamation is referred to herein as "Amalco."

On March 18, 2021, CRH and the WELL Parties entered into Amending Agreement (the "Amending Agreement"), which amended the Arrangement Agreement to, among other things, (i) permit WELL to designate an alternative entity (in lieu of the Purchaser/Amalco) to be the acquiror of CRH, provided such entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of WELL (directly or indirectly), that the substitution of such alternate party does not, in the opinion of CRH acting reasonably, result in adverse consequences to CRH or any CRH securityholder, and that such alternate party is legally formed and CRH is notified of WELL's intentions prior to the meeting of CRH securityholders being held to consider and vote on the Arrangement, (ii) change the order of certain steps in the Arrangement, and (iii) implement certain other tax-structuring related changes to the Plan of Arrangement, which do not impact the effect or tax consequences of the Arrangement for CRH securityholders. The Amending Agreement also amended the Arrangement Agreement to clarify that the requisite CRH securityholder approval for the Arrangement will include the "minority approval" required under Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, as required under the interim order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia with respect to the Arrangement, dated as of March 10, 2021.

The foregoing description of the Amending Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amending Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
