The combined company will be an integrated global platform serving four of the fastest growing digital health markets: Integrated Care Management, Global Telehealth, Digital Pharmacy, and Tech-enabled Behavioral Health. Furthermore, we view the limited redemptions after the announced combination, and the significant trading volume for our shares, units, warrants and rights, as validation of our strategy to create to a powerful digital healthcare pioneer poised for substantial growth on a global scale. We remain confident the combination will be completed within the revised and shareholder approved closing date, subject to customary closing conditions.”
