TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NeuPath Health Inc. (TSXV:NPTH), (“NeuPath” or the “Company”), owner and operator of a network of clinics delivering category-leading chronic pain treatment, today provided an update on its ongoing focus on operational and balance sheet improvements.
The Company has accepted a binding offer to purchase its corporate-owned medical facility in London, Ontario, with a closing date of August 1, 2023. As a result of this sale, the Company will pay off the mortgage secured by the medical facility and expects to receive net proceeds over and above the mortgage obligation and any fees of more than $0.5 million. The net proceeds from this sale will be invested in the construction of, and move to, our new more modern location, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
“Simplifying our operations and improving our balance sheet has been a core focus for the organization, with the successful sale of our only corporate-owned medical facility as a key component of that strategy,” said Joe Walewicz, CEO. “Construction at the new location is nearly complete, and we look forward to welcoming our staff, patients and physician partners into this improved new facility.”
