ST. LOUIS - EyeCare Partners (ECP), a provider of clinically integrated eyecare, has announced the appointment of Michael Nordlund, MD, PhD, as chief medical officer (CMO) and Joseph Gira, MD, as chief physician relations officer (CPRO), effective immediately.

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EyeCare Partners LLC ("EyeCare Partners", or the "Company"), the nation’s leading provider of clinically integrated eye care, announced today it has closed a follow-on debt exchange with holders of its existing term loans following an initial debt exchange closed in April. The combined exchanges represent participation of more than 98% of the Company's first lien term loan holders, more than 91% of its second lien term loan holders and 100% of its Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") commitments. The follow-on exchange further strengthens the Company’s balance sheet by capturing additional debt discount and cash-to-paid-in-kind interest flexibility, in addition to that achieved in the initial exchange. The closing of the initial exchange, follow-on exchange and $275 million new money superpriority term loan provides significant liquidity benefit and addresses a majority of the Company’s debt maturities through 2027. “We are strongly encouraged by the high participation level across our debt exchanges and the financial support for EyeCare Partners to execute on our long-term strategic initiatives,” said Chris Throckmorton, EyeCare Partners Chief Executive Officer
