Hooper Holmes Requests Effective Date for Rights Offering

Hooper Holmes, Inc. (NYSE MKT: HH) announced today that it requested an effective date as of the end of business on Friday, December 18, 2015 for the S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to the company’s $4.0 million rights offering. Under the terms of the rights offering, the Company will distribute one non-transferable subscription right to purchase shares of its common stock, for each one share of its common stock held by a stockholder as of 5:00 pm CT, on the record date of December 24, 2015, as more fully described in the prospectus relating to the rights offering. Holders as of the record date will have until 5:00 pm CT on January 18, 2016 to exercise their basic subscription rights. The rights offering will also include an over-subscription privilege, which will entitle each rights holder that exercises its full basic subscription rights to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to certain limitations.

Hooper is planning to raise $4.0 million through the successful rights offering. As discussed in the prospectus related to the rights offering, all of the Company’s directors, executive officers, certain related parties to the directors and executive officers, and a few key shareholders have indicated that they intend to exercise all of the rights issued to them. If exercised, these non-binding commitments represent at least $1.8 million of the total amount to be raised.

"As mentioned in our S-1 filing, we have made substantial progress this past year in the restructuring of Hooper Holmes into a focused, growth-oriented health and wellness company. With the completion of the rights offering, and building upon our revenue base, the additional revenue of a full year of AHS operations and our progress in generating new sales of $5.0 million in 2015 and $11.0 million in 2016; we believe we are positioned well to achieve our plan of revenues in excess of $42.0 million and to be EBITDA and cash flow positive in 2016," said Henry Dubois, president and CEO.

Mr. Dubois added: “In addition to the sales we’ve discussed above, since our third quarter investor call, we have closed additional business estimated to bring in $1.0 million more of annual revenue starting in 2016. Our most recent business win is from a direct client in the healthcare industry with 3,000 employee lives that will be using our full suite of services.”
