CareView Communications Converts Secured Debt for Projected Growth

CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, proudly announces the successful completion of a transformative series of transactions. In this milestone achievement, the Company’s secured debt totaling approximately $94 million (the “Secured Notes”) was canceled or converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. This strategic move signifies a crucial advancement in the Company’s growth trajectory.

Under the guidance of CareView’s management team, negotiations were initiated with noteholders to structure these transactions to reduce the Company’s debt burden while capitalizing on current and projected business expansion opportunities. The culmination of this endeavor resulted in a significant decrease in debt reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

This combination of debt-to-equity conversion, warrant elimination, and interest forgiveness resulted in a total transaction equating to an approximate value of $0.21 per share. This calculation further solidifies the favorable nature of this strategic plan.

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with all secured noteholders to cancel warrants for 14,454,807 underlying shares issued in connection with the debt, to cancel approximately $50 million in accrued interest, and to exchange existing Secured Notes for replacement notes bearing no interest in the aggregate of $44.2 million (the “Replacement Notes”). During the first and second quarter of 2023, all Replacement Notes were converted at the option of the noteholders into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. The transaction resulted in two entities, HealthCor Partners Fund, L.P. and HealthCor Hybrid Offshore Master Fund, L.P., owning approximately 62% of the Company’s shares of outstanding common stock.

In May 2023, PDL Investment Holdings, LLC, extended the maturity date of its loan in the approximate amount of $34 million to December 31, 2024.

CareView’s President and CEO, Steven G. Johnson, emphasized the significance of the debt restructure, stating, “This decisive measure, jointly undertaken by the Company’s board of directors and secured noteholders, reinforces our commitment to strengthening CareView’s balance sheet and optimizing our cash flow position. With this restructured foundation, we are poised to seize exciting growth opportunities, particularly through key collaborations with major hospital groups. Ultimately, this advancement will deliver enhanced value to our Company’s shareholders.”
