Marpai executes amendment with AXA delaying
payment obligations and secures $1.7
million in revenue-based financing from Libertas Funding,
LLC.
NEW
YORK, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Marpai, Inc. ("Marpai" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:
MRAI), an independent national Third-Party Administration
company transforming the $22 billion
TPA market supporting self-funded employer health plans with
affordable, intelligent, healthcare, today announced two key
financing agreements.
The Company executed an amendment to the Maestro Purchase
Agreement with AXA S.A. ("AXA"). The amendment provides an
overall extension to the payment terms, significantly reduces the
remaining payment in 2024 to $473,688
and delays any further payments to 2025. In addition, AXA has
agreed to certain "Reduction Criteria" that would potentially
reduce the overall payment obligation by $3
million once certain criteria are met, including the Company
maintaining its Nasdaq (or other national securities exchange)
listing. As a part of that criteria, Mr. Lamendola, as the
Company's largest shareholder, has committed to investing at least
$3 million in equity during 2024.
Damien Lamendola, Chief Executive
Officer, commented, "We are very pleased to have the support of the
team at AXA and this potentially removes a significant overhang for
our business and allows the Company to push forward aggressively on
our growth actions while demonstrating my continued commitment to
the business."
Separately, Marpai received $1.7
million in revenue-based financing from Libertas Funding,
LLC ("Libertas"). Libertas has provided access to over $2.6 billion in funding for small and
medium-sized businesses since its inception in 2016. Libertas
empowers businesses to grow with high-tech, high-touch access to
funding that pairs best-in-class client service with top-of-line
technology to ensure businesses have the capital to thrive. The
Company expects to use the funds for short-term working capital
needs.
"Libertas has provided Marpai with flexible capital that allows
us to continue to execute our operating plan without diluting
shareholders," said Steve Johnson,
Chief Financial Officer.
