3. ACQUISITIONS

2020 Acquisition

On June 16, 2020, MTBC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Meridian Billing Management Co., a Vermont corporation, Origin Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and GMM II Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), pursuant to which MTBC purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian from the Seller. Meridian is in the business of providing medical billing, revenue cycle management, electronic medical records, medical coding and related services. These revenues have been included in the Company’s Healthcare IT segment. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.

The total consideration paid at closing was $11.9 million, net of cash received, 200,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock plus warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price per share of $7.50 and a term of two years. The Company also assumed Meridian’s negative net working capital and certain long-term lease liabilities where the leased space is either not being utilized or will be vacated shortly, with an aggregate value of approximately $4.8 million.

A summary of the total consideration is as follows:

Meridian Purchase Price

Of the Preferred Stock consideration, 100,000 shares will be held in escrow for up to one month pending completion of technical migration and customer acceptance. Shares net of such losses will be released upon the joint instruction of the Company and the seller in accordance with the applicable escrow terms. Such shares are entitled to the monthly dividend, which will be paid when, and if, the shares are released. The Company accrues the dividend monthly on the Preferred Stock held in escrow. The shares held in escrow were released on August 3, 2020.

The Company’s Preferred Stock and warrants issued as part of the acquisition consideration were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the Preferred Stock and the securities underlying the warrants.

The Meridian acquisition added additional clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Meridian. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation by the end of the third quarter and is finalizing the projections and the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The preliminary purchase price allocation for Meridian is summarized as follows:

The acquired accounts receivable are recorded at fair value which represents amounts that have subsequently been paid or are expected to be paid by clients. The fair value of customer relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes and represents the Company’s ability to have an expanded local presence in additional markets and operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would not be available to other market participants.

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is approximately four years.

Revenue earned from the clients obtained from the Meridian acquisition was approximately $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

On January 8, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CareCloud Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CareCloud”), MTBC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc. (“Runway”), solely in its capacity as a seller representative, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into CareCloud (the “Merger”), with CareCloud surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger became effective simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.

The total consideration for the Merger included approximately $11.9 million paid in cash at closing, the assumption of a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.1 million and 760,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock. The Merger Agreement provides that if CareCloud’s 2020 revenues exceed $36 million, there will be an earn-out payment to the seller equal to such excess, up to $3 million. Additional consideration included warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 1,000,000 of which have an exercise price per share of $7.50 and a term of two years, and the other 1,000,000 warrants have an exercise price per share of $10.00 and a term of three years.

A summary of the total consideration is as follows:

CareCloud Purchase Price

Of the Preferred Stock consideration, 160,000 shares were placed in escrow for up to 24 months, and an additional 100,000 shares were placed in escrow for up to 18 months, in both cases, to satisfy indemnification obligations of the seller for losses arising from certain specified contingent liabilities. Shares net of such losses will be released upon the joint instruction of the Company and Runway in accordance with the applicable escrow terms. Such shares are entitled to the monthly dividend, which will be paid when, and if, the shares are released. The Company accrues the dividend monthly on the Preferred Stock held in escrow.

During July 2020, it was determined that 55,726 shares of the Preferred Stock would be released from escrow, returned to the Company and cancelled. Dividends previously accrued on these shares of $102,166 were reversed as of June 30, 2020, since the amounts will not need to be paid. The remaining shares continue to be held in escrow.

The Company’s Preferred Stock and warrants issued as part of the Merger consideration were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the Preferred Stock and the securities underlying the warrants.

The CareCloud acquisition added additional clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from CareCloud. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:

2019 Acquisition

On April 3, 2019, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) to acquire substantially all of the assets of Etransmedia. The purchase price was $1.6 million and the assumption of certain liabilities, excluding acquisition-related costs of approximately $125,000. Per the APA, the acquisition had an effective date of April 1, 2019. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.

The Etransmedia acquisition added additional clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

The purchase price allocation for Etransmedia was performed by the Company and is summarized as follows:

The acquired accounts receivable are recorded at fair value which represents amounts that have subsequently been paid or are expected to be paid by clients. The fair value of customer relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over fifteen years and represents the Company’s ability to have an expanded local presence in additional markets and operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would not be available to other market participants.

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years.

Revenue earned from the clients obtained from the Etransmedia acquisition was approximately $993,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and approximately $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
