SOMERSET, N.J, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MTBC (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared monthly cash dividends for its 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for June, July and August 2018. This represents 33 consecutive months of dividends declared since the Series A Preferred Stock was initially sold in November 2015.
“Yesterday we announced our signing of an acquisition agreement that, subject to closing, could increase our revenues by at least 50%,” said Bill Korn, Chief Financial Officer. “The capital we’ve raised through prior offerings of our non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock has enabled us to negotiate favorable deal terms and move quickly on attractive opportunities, such as the one we recently announced. We welcome the accelerating trend of consolidation in our industry and believe that we are well positioned to pursue compelling opportunities as they continue to emerge.”
Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 11% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.75 per annum per share). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable monthly on the 15th day of each month; provided that if any dividend payment date is not a business day, then the dividend may be paid on the next succeeding business day. Dividends are payable to holders of record on the applicable record date, which shall be the last day of the calendar month, whether or not a business day.
