HealthLynked Completes Acquisition of MedOfficeDirect, LLC, Adding Discounted Medical Supplies for Patient Members

NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthLynked Corp (OTC: HLYK),  a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients and medical data, today announced that it has acquired MedOfficeDirect, LLC ("MOD"), a Naples, FL based virtual distributor of discounted medical supplies selling to both consumers and medical practices.

The acquisition includes aggregate consideration valued at up to $6.0 million, including (i) $2.7 million of HealthLynked common stock issued at closing, (ii) $0.7 million cash, and (iii) up to $2.6 million of additional HealthLynked common stock based on MOD achieving specified annual revenue milestones for the next four years.

MOD's debtholders agreed to accept membership interests in MOD in exchange for satisfaction of 40% of their outstanding debt, with the remaining 60% satisfied by the $0.7 million cash paid at closing. They also agreed to waive and forgive all accrued interest payments totaling $0.6 million.

"The acquisition of MedOfficeDirect, LLC allows us to better serve our patient members and healthcare providers. MedOfficeDirect has demonstrated the demand for a low cost direct-to-consumer medical supplier with significant year-over-year revenue growth. As the HealthLynked Network has grown, through our recent ACO acquisition, new patient members, and healthcare providers, we see significant opportunity to increase our value in healthcare and drive even more adoption across all these areas," said HealthLynked Chairman and CEO Michael Dent M.D.

Medical supply sales in the US exceed $155 billion annually. Launched in 2014, MOD serves both consumers and healthcare providers with more than 13,000 name brand medical supplies in more than 150 different categories. MOD has users in every state and provides some of the lowest prices on name brand medical products online, shipped direct to the customer within 3 to 5 days by leveraging volume buying. Providing an easy way for patient members and healthcare providers to purchase medical supplies at a low cost will help drive increased adoption of the HealthLynked Network while increasing the Company's consolidated revenue and profit. HealthLynked Members Personal Health Records (PHRs) detail a patient's specific medical needs; in combination with MedOfficeDirect, this will provide a convenient way for patients to purchase the medical supplies and products they need online and at significant savings.

Key benefits of the acquisition include:

• Increased revenue with significant projected growth. The acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $1.5 million of revenue in year one, increasing HealthLynked's consolidated revenues by some 25%. The earnout is tied to four years of 25% annual growth, resulting in a year 4 revenue earnout target of $2.9 million by 2024.        
• Company and customer synergies. HealthLynked continues to expand the number of patient and physician members in both the HealthLynked Network and in its ACO network and plans to offer MOD's discounted medical supplies to this user base. 
• Expansion into discounted medical supplies. Expansion into this multi-billion-dollar industry and access to MOD's existing customer base is expected to further increase the number of patient members and healthcare providers using the HealthLynked Network.

George O'Leary, Chief Financial Officer of HealthLynked stated, "This is the third of what we expect to be numerous acquisitions for HealthLynked, focused on complementary businesses that enhance the HealthLynked Network, for which we have set a goal of adding tens of millions of patients and hundreds of thousands of physicians over the next five years." He continued, "This acquisition is unique in that it is focused on purchasing a high growth business that distinctively complements the anticipated growth in our digital healthcare business. We are paying only 12% in cash, with 45% in stock and up to 43% in a four-year stock-based earnout that requires 141% growth during this period for the earnout to be fully realized."
