Skylight Health Suspends Series A Preferred Stock Cash Dividend
March 16 2023 - 7:00AM
Skylight Health Group Inc. (TSXV:SLHG; OTCQX:SLHGF) (“Skylight
Health” or the “Company”); a healthcare platform combining
technology, and analytics focused on transitioning patients into
value-based care to drive better health outcomes and experiences in
the United States, today announced that its Board of Directors has
suspended the payment of dividends on the Company’s 9.25% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series A
Preferred Shares”) until further notice. The Series A Preferred
Shares trade under the “SLHGP” stock ticker symbol.
The Company has decided to cancel the monthly dividend scheduled
for payment on March 20, 2023, as previously announced
on February 9, 2023. The Company believes cancelling the
dividend is in the best interests of the Company and its
stakeholders as a capital preservations strategy while maintaining
flexibility during a critical phase as the global capital markets
have significantly pulled back in recent months.
In accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock,
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue until such
dividends are authorized or declared. The Board intends to revisit
the resumption of its monthly dividend in the future when
appropriate.
About Skylight Health Group
Skylight Health Group (TSXV:SLHG: OTCQX:SLHGF) is a healthcare
services and technology company, working to positively impact
patient health outcomes. The Company operates a US multi-state
primary care health network comprised of physical practices
providing a range of services from primary care, sub-specialty,
allied health, and laboratory/diagnostic testing. The Company is
focused on helping small and independent practices shift from a
traditional fee-for-service (FFS) model to value-based care (VBC)
through tools including proprietary technology, data analytics and
infrastructure. In an FFS model, payors (commercial and government
insurers) reimburse on an encounter-based approach. This puts a
focus on volume of patients per day. In a VBC model, the providers
offer care that is aimed at keeping patients healthy and minimize
unnecessary health expenditures that are not proven to maintain the
patient’s well-being. This places an emphasis on quality over
volume. VBC will lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced cost of
delivery and drive stronger financial performance from existing
practices.
