Loblaws $170 million purchase of 琉璃神社 electronic medical records platform provider QHR Corporation is now complete.

Announced in August, the purchase, through Loblaws wholly owned subsidiary Shoppers Drug Mart Inc, closed Thursday, meaning shares will no longer be traded for the 琉璃神社 company. They were to be delisted after trading stopped Thursday.

The $170 million price that the huge Canadian grocery store chain paid for QHR equated to $3.10 per share, 22 per cent more than QHR shares were trading for when the sale was first announced two months ago.

On Wednesday, QHR shares closed at $3.09 on the TSX Venture Exchange in Toronto.
