Company Provides Business Update
Nightingale CEO Acquires 5.7 Million Shares
MARKHAM, ON, Jan. 18, 2016 /CNW/ - Nightingale Informatix Corporation (TSX-V: NGH) ("Nightingale" or the "Company"), a cloud-based provider of electronic health record (EHR) software and related services, today provided a business update.
The Company announced that it has released a limited commercial version of its next generation product V10 to be deployed at specific pilot sites in Canada. It is expected that V10 will go live in the coming few weeks with general commercial release in the Spring of 2016.
The Company is also pleased to report that since the divestiture of its US practice management business in October 2015, the Company has used some of the proceeds to retire approximately $4.0 million of its secured debt and paid down other liabilities by approximately $2.5 million.
"We have experienced significant growth from our flagship product, Nightingale on Demand, with 20% CAGR over the past five years. Our recurring revenue from the Canadian operations has recently reached an annual run rate of over $7 million. We are optimistic that once our next generation product is made available to the broader Canadian market at the end of March, our recurring revenue growth will be accelerated", said Sam Chebib, President & CEO of Nightingale. "Our new cost structure after the sale of our US practice management business in October and the current recurring revenue base provides us with clear operating leverage as the recurring revenue continues to grow".
The Company also announced on behalf of its President and CEO, Sam Chebib, that Mr. Chebib has acquired 5,700,000 common shares of Nightingale in an off market transaction from Emancipation Capital. Charles Frumberg, a Director of Nightingale, is a Managing Member of Emancipation Capital. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Chebib now owns or controls 18,297,422 shares, representing approximately 19.3% of Nightingale's issued and outstanding shares, and Emancipation Capital will hold 6,229,000 shares representing approximately 6.6% of Nightingale's issued and outstanding shares. In a subsequent separate transaction Emancipation Capital acquired $200,000 of the Company's Convertible Debenture Series "C" from Mr. Chebib.
