NAPLES, Fla., July 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:HLYK), announced today that it has closed a $2,000,000 private placement of common stock and warrants with an institutional investor. HealthLynked Corp. issued 3,900,000 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,100,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of common stock, plus additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock that may become exercisable following the registration of the securities issued in the private placement. The capital was raised for the purpose of technology enhancement, sales and marketing initiatives and for its planned acquisition strategy.

ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc., acted as sole placement agent for the offering.

George O’Leary, HealthLynked’s Chief Financial Officer, stated: “This private placement allows us to implement our acquisition strategy, which is to acquire health service businesses and offer physician owners cash, HLYK stock, and deferred compensation.  Currently we expect that acquisition targets have a practice size of at least $1 million in revenue and demonstrate at least three current consecutive years of strong profitability. We intend to focus our acquisition efforts in the state of Florida.”
