LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, announced that it recently entered into amendments on an aggregate of approximately $56.6 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes and accompanying transaction documents (collectively, the "Notes") issued to HealthCor Partners Management, L.P., HealthCor Management, L.P. and HealthCor Hybrid Offshore Master Fund, L.P. (together, "HealthCor"). HealthCor, a leading investment manager in the healthcare and life sciences sectors, has been a long-time investor in CareView and currently owns approximately 38% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on an as converted fully diluted basis.
The amendments to the Notes, among other things, include (i) removing the rights of HealthCor to convert certain notes into shares of common stock, (ii) suspending the accrual of interest on certain notes after June 30, 2018, (iii) providing for the potential earlier repayment of certain notes by the Company, and (iv) canceling Warrants previously issued to HealthCor for the purchase of 11,782,859 shares.
With the removal of the stock conversion provision from the Notes and the cancelation of the Warrants, HealthCor's as converted fully diluted equity position is reduced from its current ownership of approximately 38% (pre-amendment) to approximately 35% which will significantly diminish dilution to the Company's stockholders. Suspending the accrual of interest of the Notes after June 30, 2018 will save the Company approximately $5.9 million through June 30, 2019, which will provide the Company the opportunity to position itself for profitability and further reduce dilution for the benefit of the Company's common stockholders.
CareView's President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven G. Johnson, stated, "We have always benefitted from having HealthCor as our partner and investor who has believed in our story and the application of our technology portfolio to the healthcare market. We appreciate them for helping us achieve our vision and for providing us with the financial flexibility we need to do that."
