CareView Communications Sells 2.5 Million Shares in Private Placement; Approves Proposal For Debt Restructure

LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, today announced the closing of a private placement for 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.10.  All shares were purchased by members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

In addition, with the Company’s financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022 indicating a stockholders’ deficit of over $117 million, the Board believes this deficit is a significant negative factor for the Company to secure sales of the Company’s products to new and existing customers, which thereby threatens the ongoing operations of the Company.

The Board determined, in order to mitigate this negative perception of the Company, that it was in the best interest of the Company to propose a conversion of debt (the “Debt”) with certain lenders (the “Lenders”), so that the Company can remove the competitive financial disadvantage it is now experiencing in the marketplace, and to win more business. The Board further authorized the Company to retain Value Incorporated to provide a fairness opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) that the price of $0.10 per share is a conversion price that is fair to all of the Company’s shareholders.

Subject to a Fairness Opinion, the Board approved a proposal for a Debt restructure, which the Company is presenting to its debtholders. The proposal includes (i) the conversion of approximately $40 million in long-term debt into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.10, (ii) the cancelation by the Company and the forfeiture by the debtholders of the additional accrued interest of approximately $48.5 million, and (iii) the cancelation by the Company and the forfeiture by the debtholders of warrants for the purchase of approximately 15.5 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

Steven G. Johnson, CareView’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are grateful that our Board is so supportive of our Company and for their recent efforts to make further investments. We have several substantial new contracts that we anticipate closing in Q4 2022 and Q1 2023.”
