SOMERSET, N.J., July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareCloud, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO, CCLDP), a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced the continuation of proxy solicitation from the holders (the “Series A Preferred Shareholders”) of its 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of its’ Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Proposal”). With approximately 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock having already returned their proxies, 82% of these shares (up from 72% last week) are in favor of the changes recommended in the Preferred Stock Proposal.
“There are only three weeks remaining for Series A Preferred Shareholders to return their proxies on this important vote,” said Stephen Snyder, President of CareCloud. “To become effective, the proposal must be approved by at least two-thirds of the shares of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock – or about 3 million of the outstanding 4.5 million shares. Those wishing to submit their voting instructions can do so now through August 21, 2024, by calling 844-874-6164, by visiting www.aalvote.com/ccld, or by mailing back the completed proxy card received from CareCloud. Anyone who would rather attend the Special Meeting in person can do so by following the instructions contained in the Definitive Proxy materials.”
If the Preferred Stock Proposal is ultimately approved, holders of Series A Preferred Stock would receive similar change of control protections to those afforded to holders of the Company’s Series B 8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Also, the dividend of Series A Preferred Stock would mirror that of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Company would, going forward, have the right to exchange the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for common stock at the liquidation preference value of the $25/share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Proxy solicitation is ongoing and the Company cannot predict future proxy or voting results, which could be more or less favorable than the trends seen to date. Any shares that are not voted will be deemed “no” votes, making it more difficult for the Company to achieve the minimum two-thirds vote in favor of the Preferred Stock Proposal.
The information contained in this press release is a summary of certain relevant portions of the Definitive Proxy Statement and other materials filed with the SEC. It is important that Series A Preferred Shareholders review the entirety of the filings, which are available on the SEC’s website and on https://ir.carecloud.com/series-a-special-proxy.
