CareCloud secures $50M credit facility and redeems Series B preferred stock

CareCloud, a healthcare technology and revenue cycle management provider, has secured a $50 million credit facility with Citizens Bank and Provident Bank. Citizens acted as lead arranger and administrative agent on the facility, which closed on 13 April. The company will redeem 100% of its outstanding 8.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock on 15 May, following a 30-day notice period. The redemption eliminates approximately $3.2 million in annual dividend obligations and replaces higher-cost preferred equity with lower-cost institutional debt. CareCloud generates approximately $30 million in annualised adjusted EBITDA. The transaction simplifies its capital structure and provides non-dilutive capital whilst lowering the cost of capital. All 1,511,372 outstanding preferred shares will be redeemed at the stated redemption price plus accumulated unpaid dividends.
