NeueHealth Enters into Amendment to its Credit Facility

DORAL, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NeueHealth, Inc. (“NeueHealth” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NEUE), the value-driven healthcare company, today announced that it entered into an incremental amendment to its credit facility with New Enterprise Associates (“NEA”) that increases the term loan commitment by $30 million on April 8, 2024. The proceeds of the incremental commitment are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including to support the Company’s 2024 strategic priorities.

In connection with the incremental credit facility, NeueHealth also announced that it will issue penny warrants to purchase up to 1,113,563 shares of the Company’s common stock to the lenders under such incremental credit facility. The warrant issuance would typically require approval of shareholders, however NeueHealth’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors determined that delaying the debt financing transaction (which includes the issuance of warrants) until shareholder approval would jeopardize the financial viability of the Company. Therefore, the Audit Committee approved the Company’s omission to receive shareholder approval. NeueHealth expects to formally notify stockholders as soon as practicable after the date hereof that it intends to issue penny warrants in connection with the funding of loans under the incremental credit facility without seeking their approval. The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) has approved the Company’s reliance on the exception provided under Section 312.05 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.
