InPost CEO Rafał Brzoska has made a preliminary offer to buy Medicalgorithmics’ shares in the increased share capital. The company has decided to negotiate a non-binding offer, which concerns the transaction of new shares entitling Rafał Brzoska or an entity indicated by him to 50% of votes at the company’s general meeting.
The offer proposed by Rafał Brzoska includes the granting of a secured loan, which would amount up to USD 20 million and would be paid in tranches as part of the company’s share conversion. The shares would entitle to 50% of votes at the company’s general meeting, and the loan would be secured by shares in Medi-Lynx Cardiac Monitoring, LLC and intellectual property rights, including industrial property rights, of the company’s capital group. For the transaction to proceed, conditions such as satisfactory due diligence results and approval from the company’s corporate bodies and the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection must be met. Due diligence is expected to take between 4 and 6 weeks.
As stated by Medicalgorithmics management, the valuation that was indicated in the non-binding offer is the investor’s valuation and may be subject to change after verification and analysis, which will be conducted at a later stage of the process. Corrected valuation will appear in the binding offer. At the same time, the management board emphasised that the commenced negotiations are part of the company’s assumptions concerning the review of strategic options and do not affect the resignation from the plan of raising capital from the emission of H-series shares. The company also continues to search for investors who could acquire its bonds. The management explained that the decision regarding the sources of financing will be made in accordance with the best interests of the company and will depend on the results of the negotiations and the cost of available financing.
