Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2021) - Puget Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink: PUGE) ("Puget"), a publicly held Nevada corporation subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, announces today that it has entered into two additional letters of intent to acquire companies in the healthcare industry.
- The first, Florida Behavioral Center, Inc. (dba "Florida Healthcare System" and referred to as "FHS"), organized in 2015 and based in Doral, Florida, is a healthcare organization that provides mental health services through an experienced team of psychiatrists, mental health counselors, case managers, and administrative staff. Common mental health concerns treated include anxiety, substance abuse, depression, suicide risk, trauma, bipolar disorder, and attention deficit disorder; and targeted case management services are offered for mental illness in patients of all ages.
- The second, Glades Medical Centers of Florida LLC ("GMC of Florida"), a Florida limited liability company, is the successor in interest to Glades Medical Centers LLC, a Florida limited liability company organized on May 28, 2014 after its entry into a joint venture with Primary Medical Physicians, LLC, also a Florida limited liability company (all collectively referred to as "GMC of Florida"). Its services focus on preventive primary care as well as diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and minor injuries. Additional services include an in-house lab along with specialists including podiatry, allergy, and gynecology.
In each case, the companies have granted Puget a 90-day exclusive right to negotiate specific terms after it conducts required due diligence and the parties determine the most appropriate valuations and form of acquisition. In both cases, the acquired companies would become consolidated subsidiaries of Puget and would be incorporated into Puget's healthcare division, along with Behavioral Centers of South Florida, LLC and D & D Rehab Center Inc., in order to generate synergies and attain significant operational savings. FHS's total revenues for the calendar years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 were approximately $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and revenues for GMC of Florida for the calendar years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 were $700,000 and $500,000, respectively. While it is anticipated that the FHS transaction will involve a traditional acquisition, GMC of Florida is expected to become part of Puget's incubator program for companies that are interested in potential future spinouts as independent public companies. In both cases, Puget intends to conclude related negotiations on or before November 30, 2021, with closings occurring by December 31, 2021.
Karen Fordham, President and CEO of Puget, explains, "The addition of Florida Healthcare System and GMC of Florida to our healthcare portfolio will enable us to expand our behavioral health and primary care capabilities, thus advancing our aspirations of creating a holistic healthcare service delivery system." Ms. Fordham elaborates, "With the ability to offer a broader array of services to their patients under the same roof, both Florida Healthcare Systems and GMC of Florida have the potential for significant revenue growth. We look forward to working with both executive teams to deliver high quality patient service in Florida and beyond."
