Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq: DRAD; DRADP) (the “Company”), a
diversified holding company with three divisions: Healthcare,
Building & Construction, and Real Estate & Investments,
announced today that it has changed its corporate name to Star
Equity Holdings, Inc. (“Star Equity Holdings”) with an effective
date of January 1, 2021 (“Effective Date”). The website for Star
Equity Holdings will be www.starequity.com. In connection with the
corporate name change, the Company’s Common Stock will begin
trading under the new ticker symbol “STRR” and have a CUSIP of
85513Q103, and the Company’s Series A Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock will begin trading under the new ticker symbol
“STRRP” and have a CUSIP of 85513Q202 at the opening of trading on
January 4, 2021. On the Effective Date the Company’s outstanding
warrants expiring on May 28, 2025 will have a CUSIP of 85513Q111.
The corporate name change does not affect the rights of the
Company’s stockholders.
Names of the Company’s customer-facing
businesses will not change. The Company’s Healthcare division, for
example, will continue to operate under the brand names “Digirad”
and “Digirad Health”, thus there will be no noticeable change for
clients or employees of Digirad. The website for Digirad, the
healthcare division, will continue to be www.digirad.com. The
Company’s Building & Construction division, which is operated
under the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ATRM Holdings, Inc.
(“ATRM”), will now be doing business as “Star Building &
Construction.”
Furthermore, on the Effective Date, Matt
Molchan, the Company’s current CEO, will become CEO of Digirad
Health, Inc. David Noble will remain the Company’s COO and CFO.
Jeff Eberwein, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, will move into
the role of Executive Chairman. Mitch Quain, a director of the
Company since January 2019, will become the Lead Independent
Director for Star Equity Holdings. Also on the
Effective Date, the Company’s headquarters will change to Old
Greenwich, CT, but no employees will move locations as a result of
this change. Digirad’s headquarters will remain Suwanee, GA with
substantial operations in Poway, CA.
Mr. Eberwein noted, “The new name reflects our
business strategy and vision for continued growth. In 2020, we made
tremendous progress on our growth and value maximization strategy
by improving operating and financial results at our Building &
Construction division and by entering into an agreement to sell DMS
Health, the Company’s Mobile Healthcare Business, for $18.75
million. Proceeds from this sale will substantially improve our
balance sheet and better position us to fund high-return organic
growth investments and pursue acquisitions. Potential acquisitions
could be bolt-ons for our existing businesses or an entry into an
entirely new business sector.”
