SOMERSET, N.J., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CareCloud, Inc. (the “Company” or “CareCloud”) (Nasdaq: CCLD CCLDO, CCLDP), a leader in healthcare information technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced the solicitation of proxies from its common stock (the “Common Stock”) shareholders to approve an increase in its authorized shares. This increase is designed to support the Company’s growth initiatives and corporate objectives.
Focus on Growth
Mahmud Haq, Founder and Executive Chairman of CareCloud’s Board of Directors stated, “As CareCloud’s largest common stockholder, Founder and Executive Chairman, I enthusiastically support this proposal. Our board and executive team collectively own more than 38% of the Common Stock and we firmly believe that increasing the number of authorized shares is essential to driving our revenue and profits – empowering us to deliver sustained, double-digit growth with a simultaneous, laser-like focus on profitability.”
CareCloud, a leading developer and provider of healthcare information technology and AI solutions, has achieved a 23% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) over the past decade through its focus on acquisitive and organic growth. During the first three quarters of 2024, the Company generated over $10 million in free cash flow and achieved a 50% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA.
The Proposal
The board-supported proposal seeks to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 35 million to 85 million. This increase is intended to provide the flexibility needed for strategic growth initiatives, including future acquisitions, and to enable the potential conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock. Additionally, it supports investments in organic growth and other corporate priorities.
The Special Meeting of Common Stock Shareholders, which is scheduled for January 27, 2025, will enable holders of the Common Stock as of December 3, 2024 to vote on increasing the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock.
