SMITHTOWN, N.Y. & ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–iGambit, Inc. (OTC: IGMB), a fully reporting publicly-held company that wholly owns HealthDatix, a healthcare technology company with a platform for optimizing annual wellness visits/health risk assessments and chronic care management as well as the BioDatix wearable device for remote patient monitoring, and Clinigence Holdings, Inc., a pioneer in clinical quality reporting and population health analytics, today announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the companies will combine in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. The transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of both companies.

The combined organization, which will continue under the name Clinigence Holdings, Inc., will be a leading publicly-traded healthcare information technology company, which will be well positioned for the ongoing transition of U.S. healthcare from fee-for-service payments to value-based reimbursements. Our industry-leading cloud-based platforms allow our clients to leverage data from multiple sources to operate efficiently and to deliver the best possible outcomes for their patients.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, iGambit shall issue newly-issued shares of common stock, on a fully-diluted pro rata basis, to the equity holders of Clinigence by means of a reverse triangular merger in which a wholly owned subsidiary of iGambit shall merge with and into Clinigence, with Clinigence continuing as the surviving corporation. If the closing of the Merger occurs, the former Clinigence equityholders shall own 85% of iGambit’s issued and outstanding common stock and the former iGambit equityholders shall own 15% of iGambit’s issued and outstanding common stock, in each case on a fully-diluted, as converted basis as of immediately prior to the Closing (including options, warrants and other rights to acquire equity securities of iGambit).

Upon closing of the transaction, Jacob “Kobi” Margolin, current Chief Executive Officer and President of Clinigence Holdings, will continue as Chief Executive Officer and President of the combined company. Warren Hosseinion, M.D., will continue as Chairman of the combined company. Elisa Luqman, J.D., MBA, current Chief Financial Officer of iGambit, Inc., will continue as Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel of the combined company, Lawrence Schimmel, M.D., will continue as Chief Medical Officer and Charles Kandzierski will be appointed Chief Operating and Information Officer.

The Board of Directors will consist of nine directors, seven appointees (including five independent directors) from Clinigence Holdings and two appointees (including one independent director) from iGambit. The Clinigence appointees are Jacob “Kobi” Margolin, Lawrence Schimmel, M.D., Mark Fawcett, Mitch Creem, Martin Breslin, David Meiri, Ph.D. and Warren Hosseinion, M.D. The iGambit appointees are John Waters and Elisa Luqman. John Salerno, iGambit’s President, will resign as an officer and director of the Company, and shall be an observer on the Board.

“Our two organizations complement each other and will allow us to advance our technology platform,” stated John Salerno, Chief Executive Officer of iGambit. “We look forward to the opportunity to combine the resources of both HealthDatix and Clinigence, and are really excited about the future.”

“We are excited to announce this strategic transaction with iGambit to create a leading publicly-traded population health technology company,” stated Jacob “Kobi” Margolin, Chief Executive Officer of Clinigence Holdings. “The merger will create a platform with a comprehensive suite of solutions for health plans, independent physician associations/medical groups, management services organizations, accountable care organizations, hospitals and individual physicians. We see tremendous growth opportunities ahead.”

“This merger is a transformative step in our growth strategy and for generating shareholder value,” stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., Chairman of Clinigence Holdings. “Our primary goal after the merger, if and when it occurs, will be to seek to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.”
