HealthLynked Achieves Key Milestone with Final $300,000 Payment from Sale of ACO Health Partners

Receives Full Achievement of Cash Targets to Date and Secures Six-Month Extension for Future Equity Benefits

NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthLynked Corp. (HLYK), a leader in the global healthcare network industry, is pleased to announce the successful completion of cash targets to date related to its January 2023 sale of ACO Health Partners ("AHP"). The company received a $300,000 payment, marking a 100% success rate in enrolling existing and new physician practices into Palm Beach Accountable Care Organization ("PBACO"), managed by PBACO Holding, LLC ("PBA").

Since the sale of AHP, HealthLynked has received a total of $3.25 million, comprised of an initial $750,000 from the sale and an additional $2.5 million in participation-based consideration. The payments represent the maximum amount of cash consideration to date that HealthLynked was eligible to receive under the sale agreement. The company is also expecting a further $500,000 in future savings in October 2024.

In line with the sale agreement, HealthLynked is set to receive net proceeds, including allocation of expenses, from Medicare Shared Savings attributed to AHP's performance in 2022. Current projections estimate these proceeds will exceed $1.0 million, with payments anticipated in early October 2023.

Furthermore, HealthLynked has secured a six-month extension from PBA for the possibility of earning equity in the event of PBA's future initial public offering ("IPO"). Initially slated to be completed by August 1, 2024, the deadline has been extended until February 1, 2025. Should PBA go public, HealthLynked will receive shares corresponding to AHP's 2021 earnings, times the EBITDA multiple used to value PBA's IPO shares.

George O'Leary, HealthLynked's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our collaboration with Palm Beach ACO has been outstanding, and we are excited about the prospects of continuing this successful partnership for years to come."
