CloudMD Announces Update on VisionPros
VANCOUVER, BC January 24, 2022 — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQX: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (“CloudMD” or the “Company”), a healthcare technology company transforming the delivery of care, is providing an update on its subsidiary, VisionPros, which was acquired on June 23, 2021. The Company has been advised of claims from certain suppliers to VisionPros for the repayment of rebates and reassessments for approximately $3.73 million (the “Claims”). The Claims arise from violations of existing distribution agreements VisionPros has with these suppliers and are in relation to the business conducted by VisionPros prior to its acquisition by CloudMD. The Company has strong relationships with these suppliers and is working cooperatively with them to assess the Claims and to negotiate the terms of new distribution agreements.
CloudMD’s Board of Directors has authorized the Audit Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Claims and the business of VisionPros. In connection with that review, the Audit Committee will consider, among other things, the amount of goodwill for this acquisition that will be reflected in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Audit Committee will also review and assess the avenues available to the Company for recovery against the former owners of VisionPros in connection with the Claims, which would be in addition to the indemnification holdback of 1,090,909 shares and $3 million of cash as provided in the definitive agreement for the acquisition.
The Audit Committee has commenced its review and the Company will make further announcements as appropriate.
