VITALHUB CORP. (TSX: VHI) (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) is pleased
to announce today that it has acquired (the “Acquisition”)
Beautiful Information Limited (“Beautiful Information” or “BI”), a
company incorporated and registered in England and Wales.
VitalHub has acquired Beautiful Information, via
a share acquisition by its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Oakgroup
(UK) Limited, for a total purchase price of
£1,550,000, subject to any post-closing working capital
adjustments. The purchase price was satisfied by payment of
£1,386,059 in cash and the issuance of 90,266 shares of VitalHub to
the shareholders of Beautiful Information (the “Share
Consideration”). The Share Consideration was calculated at a price
of $3.026 per VitalHub share and represents total value to the
vendors of £163,941.
For the 12-month period ending December 31,
2021, Beautiful Information has estimated revenue of approximately
£1,000,000, of which the Company anticipates £600,000 to be
recurring in nature.
Beautiful Information was founded as the first
NHS/private partnership of its kind, supported in its development
by Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network, East Kent
Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust and Ashford St Peters NHS
Foundation Trust. BI offers unique real-time information to NHS
trusts to help them plan and resource clinical services to meet
hourly fluctuations in patient flow, and provides their solutions
across a range of UK NHS organizations.
BI solutions will be added to an existing
portfolio of VitalHub patient flow product offerings, creating a
more robust suite of operational visibility and efficiency
products.
Dan Matlow, VitalHub CEO, commented on the
Acquisition stating “adding Beautiful Information’s solutions to
our existing suite of Patient Flow and operational visibility
products will serve to increase our customer base, while expanding
our technology and advisory capabilities. The BI team brings
extensive healthcare data expertise across the NHS and when
combined with our existing Alamac and Transforming Systems
products, creates strong synergies that position VitalHub as the
leader in the UK for these types of solutions. We look forward to
continuing to sell this integrated product suite across this NHS,
while simultaneously leveraging these tools across our commercial
footprint.”
Dr. Marc Farr, Founder of Beautiful Information
adds that “combining Beautiful Information, Transforming Systems
and Alamac creates, for the first time, an organization that can
track in real-time the clinical journey of the patient at the
individual level and aggregate it to provide a regional and
national view of flow and system pressure. We believe that putting
this information in the hands of operational managers will create a
new opportunity to alert more quickly on how resources can be
flexed at any time to reduce system inefficiencies before they
occur.”
