3:18 AM ET, 06/09/2021 - MT Newswires

Good Morney Smart Money Followers,
Over the weekend, InvestorPlace.com published an article that raised the possibility that LifeMD (Nasdaq: LFMD) could become the next meme stock.
We like the sound of this at SmartMoney. You can read the full article here:
https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-best-meme-stocks-to-buy-now-before-theyre-trending-on-reddit/
The article did a great job at describing ‘meme stocks,’ and what they can mean for investors:
“Meme stocks are among the hottest equities on Wall Street. Shares of such firms typically see a surge in activity and price in a short period of time, helped by followers of social media platforms like Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets or Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). These traders’ collective purchases mean a massive short-squeeze in a matter of days. As a results, these stocks smash intraday records in price moves. Knowing which meme stocks to buy before they go big is powerful knowledge.”
As most of you know, Smart Money Markets introduced LFMD to our subscribers when the stock was trading at a $10 million market cap. Now trading at a $347 million market cap, it has been an amazing trade.
Despite the run, we still think LFMD could have massive upside. The telemedicine and online pharmacy market is estimated to be a nearly $1 trillion market, and we believe the best is yet to come for LFMD and other early movers in the space.
It’s also worth pointing out that LFMD appears to be significantly undervalued relative to its peers. Its closest publicly traded comp, HIMS, trades at ~10x projected 2021 sales. LFMD still trades at ~3-4x projected 2021 sales.
Thanks for following The Smart Money.

Run baby!! Back to 30$ please
Hmmm, Reddit ?? I hope there are better forums
Announcement today: Two plaintiff lawsuits vs LFMD have been dropped by the plaintiff law firms. This is clear evidence that the Culpeper report and the attendant law suits are baseless. LFMD and its management team are exonerated and our faith in the company is vindicated.
The announcement indicates the pleadings dropping the suits were filed around 5/20. Thus the second bogus Culpeper report is an attempt to shore up their failed effort as their assault on LFMD is destructing.
Post the links, would love to hear more views .... LFMD could use some new life
This LFMD community is dead. Reddit and Yahoo Finance have LFMD communities with almost 200 members each. Often very good info is posted.
Up more than 80% in 5 trading days. Still some shorting but seems to be much less and may be covering helping to fuel the rocket.
See beneficial ownership cvhanges above. Officers are buying!
Yesterday and so far today the short sellers seem ineffectual in holding the stock price down. Institutional ownership continues to rise. Now 60 institutions hold 34% of float and more than 20% of outstanding. This is part of the reason plus many more eyeballs on this fast grower.
LifeMD Stock Is Undervalued by Over 300%, Says Analyst

That the stock market is a forward-thinking beast is well known, but this fact has been particularly emphasized by investors during this earnings season. While many companies have delivered excellent reports, a big chunk stumbled when providing – or even deciding to not provide – the anticipated outlook. Investors have shown that what they really what to hear is not only “that was a great quarter,” but that the business has good days ahead.
As such, LifeMD (LFMD) gave investors what they wanted to hear. The telehealth provider raised full-year revenue guidance from the $85 million to $95 million range to between $90 and $100 million. The market, in return, gave a thumbs up and sent shares higher by 35% in the subsequent session.
While the outlook is rosy, the quarter’s financials were excellent too. Revenue increased by 323% year-over-year to a record $18.2 million. GAAP EPS of -$0.47 came ahead of the estimates by $0.21. Total gross margin increased by ~1,300 bps both year-over-year and sequentially to reach 82.1%, better than Wall Street’s 77% forecast, while telemedicine orders reached over 164,000, a 373% year-over-year uptick.
One disappointing metric stood out according to BTIG analyst David Larsen.
Due to higher G&A spend and operating costs, total adjusted EBITDA of ($8.9M) fell behind the Street’s ($8.3M) estimate. However, even here, Larsen finds a silver lining.
“While the higher G&A costs are disappointing, we like how sales and marketing costs in 1Q:21 increased just slightly relative to 4Q:20,” the analyst noted.
In fact, Larsen thinks there’s a lot to like about the company right now.
“We’re impressed that the annual revenue run-rate is trending at ~$73M, the subscription rate is trending at ~92%, customer retention rates are high, and we like how management is focused on growth,” Larsen said. “We like how LFMD continues to plan launches of new brands, NavaMD was launched at the end of the quarter, and the primary care platform is expected to “go-live” this coming summer. Our view is that demand for cash-pay primary care services is high, we like how LFMD might eventually accept insurance, and it seems like LFMD appreciates how important earnings are to investors.”
To this end, Larsen rates LFMD shares a Buy along with a $40 price target. Investors could be sitting on gains of 351%, should Larsen’s forecast play out as expected over the coming months. (To watch Larsen’s track record, click here)
Only one other analyst has recently chimed in with a LifeMD review, but his assessment is almost just as effusive. The additional Buy provides the stock with a Moderate Buy consensus rating, while the $37.50 average price target suggests 12-month upside of 323%. (See LFMD stock analysis on TipRanks)

LFMD signs 2 Star actresses, Kate del Castillo and Bellamy Young as Brand Ambassadors for Shapiro MD to expand women's hair loss market.
Star Actresses Kate del Castillo and Bellamy Young Partner With LifeMD as Brand Ambassadors For Shapiro MD
NEW YORK, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (“the Company”) (NASDAQ: LFMD), a leading direct-to-patient telehealth company, today announced partnerships with internationally acclaimed actresses Kate del Castillo and Bellamy Young. Through virtual visits with LifeMD medical professionals, they successfully treated their hair loss using Shapiro MD™ products. The partnerships announced today will include global online and offline advertising campaigns in which the stars will share their personal hair-restoration journeys and successes using Shapiro MD’s prescription and over the counter products for female hair loss.
“We are extremely pleased to have Kate and Bellamy join the LifeMD family. We are touched that they have partnered with us and agreed to share their personal experiences and successes using Shapiro MD’s telemedicine offering for hair loss,” said Dr. Anthony Puopolo, Chief Medical Officer of LifeMD. “These campaigns will spotlight the very real problem of female hair loss – which affects more than 50% of the population – to Kate and Bellamy’s large and global fan base.”
Added Kate del Castillo, “With such a busy production schedule, it’s not always possible for me to visit specialists while away on set and filming. Using Shapiro MD™ products has been incredibly convenient and effective – and has allowed me to get the care that I need.”
“Having a personal treatment plan created by a licensed medical provider has been reassuring. And the effective products that have been delivered to me by mail have really taken the complication out of seeking treatment for something so personal such as hair loss,” said Bellamy Young. “I believe a lot of people would benefit from knowing about Shapiro MD™ and its telemedicine offering for hair loss.”
thanks..i hate shorts
Not personal. Justin does not know of the Culpeper principal. They have done this to 25 other companies in the past few years. At least one other co. recently filed a lawsuit as LFMD has done. SEC is investigating.
Good news is that 23 of the 25 other victims are selling at higher price than before the short assault.
They have to cover and soon. This is naked shorting. The corrupt broker dealers will soon become uncomfortable abetting illegal trading, especially with the lawsuit recently filed and the SEC investigation vs. Culpeper and its principal.
it must be personal...they seem to want to destroy this company...but i like the numbers...but wow what a shellacking..i hate shorts
the shorts wont leave..maybe they dont have to cover...this one is real fusing
Welcome to the board. More insider buying now that the earnings announcement came out. The company is performing better than expected and best in industry. Shorts will have to cover. To the moon!
I also see this as a positive in he credibility front. And institutions are not waiting on the sidelines any more. Very strategically filed on the same day of the Q report for an extra bang.
Also, with all that after hour volume, the price never dropped below the closing price. The after hour trading remained bullish the whole time.
The volume last Friday almost doubled the record volume of 7.43M shares form a month ago on April 16. Hims is depressed and trading @ 11.4X ttm sales. The stock should recover a couple of P/S full points LFMD, when short hit-piece corrected, is also depressed and trading @ 4.4X ttm sales. HIMS has an estimated 2021 growth rate of 35-40%. LFMD has an estimated 2021 growth rate of 155%.
And further dilution should be minimum according to the Mgmt. plans.
I have been reading all weekend everything related to the company's financial performance and it's becoming more evident that the LFMD growth story is very real. I think that most people that did some research over the weekend will agree with me.
The daily volume will remain substantial once the volatility subsides. 0.75 to 1.0M shares minimum per day, my estimate.
Institutional investment into LFMD has increased by 400% (5X) at least in the past month.
Any financial facility planned should become a lot easier with the latest & great Q report/guidance.
Finally, the law suit against Culper should reduce the short trading action. The recent financial performance and projections are very strong and makes it very risky for the shorts anyways.
I believe that tomorrow will be another strong bullish day. And this is JMHO.
GLTA tomorrow and the rest of the week.
Do you know the outcome of the prior lawsuit or lawsuits against Culper?
Lawsuit filed by LFMD vs Culper and its principal. Classic "short and distort" scheme. Jury trial demanded. This is not the first lawsuit vs Culper. This may pressure the SEC into taking action and it confirms the LFMD response as credible.
Finished after hours trading at $9,10 on 250,000 volume (huge in post mkt.)
Good, maybe we can catch them short. Earning out, they did good.
Short activity increased substantially every day this week.
It's good advice. Let me just chip in here, the short interest was highest in mid April and has been falling ever since. Perhaps they are moving on.
I know it is an uncomfortable time. Short sellers are engaging in an illegal practice of selling 'naked shorts' with the assistance of certain corrupt B-D's. This is bound to change and probably soon. Bloomberg just reported that Institutions own more than 25% of float. Insiders own more than 35% o total shares and have bought a net of 335,000 shares in Q1 at prices from $17 to $22. I know my network and I and the former CEO still have almost 2 mm shares that are L-T. What this means is that legal shorts must be close to exhausted and the B-D's are bound to become uncomfortable with more 'naked shorting'. Back around 4 years ago when LFMD was still known as IMMD the stock price went from $.22 to $.94 in one dat during a short squeeze. This type of move could happen again and soon.
Despite the price decline, the company's fortunes are unchanged, if anything, enhanced. Several new add-on products and new line launches occurring now. PDF Simpli growing through the roof. Launch of Concierge Telemedicine platform next month. Rising subscriptions and falling sales and marketing costs. Currently 100 inbound telemarketing seats filled. The LFMD team has done it right and built a monster marketing enterprise with great and efficacious products.
Be savvy like the institutional investors. Add to positions and buckle up for the ride.
Youve been a substantial share holder?
What a joke. Ive sold MOST of my holdings and I have more shares than you
William Blair hosted LFMD at its virtual 'Innovators in Healthcare' conference today (4/29/21) -- (SEE BULLET POINT 2 IN "OTHER THINGS TO NOTE. "SAW MEANINGFUL REDUCTIONS IN COSTS TO ACQUIRE NEW CUSTOMERS IN Q1)
LFMD was the only public company invited
Overall not much was said that was new or that wasn't already said on the BTIG or B. Riley calls last week. But I did want to let everyone know this happened because it was sort of under the radar and not publicized. I do think it's a very positive sign to see management engaging in three different investor calls over the last couple weeks, plus William Blair has a very large and reputable sell-side research business so this is great exposure to more of the institutional side of the investment community.
Few highlights:
Q: Can you talk about the competitive landscape a bit? You certainly have a handful of others in the space that you're competing with, Hims & Hers as one example, what makes you unique?
A: (Justin, and this is paraphrased) Given the size of the TAM, you're obviously going to have a lot of competition, you have a lot of smaller companies just now starting to come in and then speculation as to what Amazon's offering is going to be. But the biggest differentiator for us is the direct response nature of our business. The way I like to put it for people is our business is 80% direct response marketing and 20% branding. A lot of our peers are 80% branding and 20% direct response marketing. We like to think we have a very special and unique skillset that enables us to acquire patients at a better cost than our peers. We also continue to focus on in-licensing patented products and will continue to do this with new products that have strong intellectual property around them. We also continue to think our concierge care platform is unique, a lot of our comps are not investing to build out a virtual primary/concierge care product quite like ours.
Q: You're seeing incredible growth in the business right now, what are the headwinds to the model that could slow down this growth?
A: (Justin, paraphrased) With this type of business acquisition costs and advertising costs are always top of mind. So it's really just the overall CAC that is the major headwind to maintaining our growth numbers. As an example, sometimes we have to slow down a little bit on marketing if ad costs rise significantly at any point, but we're really in control of our growth.
Q: Are there other areas you're planning on moving into, or other future offerings?
A: (Justin, paraphrased) We're going to add more OTC products as cross sells and up sells, not really primary product launches like Rex and Shapiro but we're looking at several other markets where it's similar to ED, for example, where there are big, other conditions where people really want treatment but don't really want to go see a doctor in person for it. We have two big priorities this year. First, fully launching our concierge/primary care offering, and second, continuing to diversify the portfolio. We want to demonstrate to the market that this is a platform, and it is relevant across the entire healthcare world. Once we've done what we're doing with Rex and Shapiro with a couple other indications, that's when I feel like more people are really going to take notice that we are a platform and as a company we are more than just one single product.
Q: Is there anything else that we haven't asked that you may want to highlight for investors?
A: (Justin, paraphrased) As I've mentioned, I just want to drive home that we are a platform. We have three brands right now, with most of the telemedicine revenue coming from two (Nava only just released), but we're likely to grow into a couple hundred million dollar business from our portfolio within the next couple years. We are going to continue adding more indications to our portfolio, and with our virtual primary/concierge care offering -- this whole business model is going to change the US healthcare system for the better. It's the reason you want to be long this group of companies that are early movers and that have platforms that can make healthcare more accessible to all Americans. So many people like to say 'they are an ED company,' or 'they are a hairloss company,' but that's not what excites us. Don't get me wrong we love everything about our current business, but what really excites us here is how we are positioned to disrupt healthcare beyond just the initial indications we have in the portfolio right now. So that's what I encourage investors to think about.
Other things to note:
They're building out a mobile platform for members to navigate the entire virtual primary/concierge care service (I didn't realize they were building out a whole mobile platform as well, but maybe some of you did know that already)
Quotes from Marc reaffirming some financials: "LTV to CAC is 2x within the first 12 months, we earn back initial marketing spend in first 3 months, projected LTV to CAC exceeds 3x over 3-year period." | "Saw meaningful reductions in cost to acquire new customers in Q1, more updates will come on the Q1 earnings call in May." | "Our outlook for 2021 remains strong, we are still guiding between $85-95 million in full year revenue, or 150% annual growth, which we view as conservative."
Institutional ownership of LFMD has skyrocketed:
LFMD - LifeMD Inc Shareholders - CNNMoney.comhttps://money.cnn.com › quote › shareholders › subView...
https://money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/shareholders.html?symb=LFMD&subView=institutional
In Q1 in addition to Millenium's huge purchase, Blackrock bought 355,000 shares, Magnus Financial 159,000 shares, Belvedere Trading 86,000 shares.
Also in Q1 insiders bought a net 335,000 shares at prices ranging from $17 to $26.
Institutional ownership has risen to more than 15%, while insiders own more than 35%
This spells danger for the short sellers, as there are a dwindling number of shares left to borrow and short. LFMD will soon surge.
8$ ... can it hold ??
Great Presentation !
The company has changed a lot in a very small period of time. Within 18 months, that's fast my friend. 7X stronger specially after we pull out from this BS SHORT attack. I am very enthusiastic about my holdings in LFMD.
To reach an annual revenue run rate of
$90M
we only need to make a sustainable $7.5M per month. We are currently making around $6.5 with a strong rev growth tailwind.
https://stocktwits.com/Alex1965/message/324266351
The stock is trading at less than 5 TTM P/S and less than 3 fwd P/S. Very cheap ! The 50DSMA is $16.03 as of yesterday.
I estimate the fair value of the stock @ P/S = 11 or $21.75. Industry peers P/S is 17. And remember that LFMD has a very good gross margin above 70%. If the company was fully developed the stock would be worth $31 to $33 right now. This kind of higher valuation will come over time.
Can anybody imagine Justin getting another $50 to $60 millions and developing another 2 to 3 brands at the same time to be launched within 4 to 6 months? Can anybody see the compounded growth here? And maybe a couple of joint ventures along the way, all happening within the next 12 to 18 months. The opportunities with the LFMD platform are endless !
The brands are all sticky and the stock will become very sticky too.
Very encouraging and impressive. Reddit also has a link to this. It is great that Reddit is making people aware of LFMF. Based on LFMD's growth, pending new releases, scalable platform and comparable multiples of revenues, it should be selling at $35 now.
The following slide deck was published by LifeMD, Inc. in conjunction with this event.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4423232-lifemd-lfmd-investor-presentation-slideshow
Two analysts reiterating buy recommendations with price targets of $35 and $40, plus a "Money Talks" endorsement with a $11 million buy in on 1.2 mm shares and 500,000 calls by Millenium Fund speaks volumes for the quality investment represented by LFMD. The short sellers are running out of shares to borrow. Its only a matter of a short time befor they see that they must cover.
$LFMD "opportunistic entry point."
B. Riley analyst Andrew D'Silva views the recent pullback in shares of LifeMD as an "opportunistic entry point." He reiterates a Buy rating on the shares with a $35 price target after hosting a chat with management. The stock is down 40% year-to-date as an "anonymous short report has led to the dislocation," D'Silva tells investors in a research note. He says his talk with management confirmed his thoughts, which is that points highlighted within the short report appear to "either provide inaccurate information, conflate opinions and facts, and/or were based on half-truths that left out material context around key points of contention."

Still struggling I see ...
Hoping we get back to 9$ here
Some research: Culper attacked 25 companies with their short play and bogus research. Today 23 of those companies are trading higher than before they were attacked.
Catch them in a short squeeze,... Buy several lots of 100 shares as much as you can each day. If enough of us do this, with the institutions moving in now we may be able to create a short squeeze which will amplify the upsurge.

Exceeds Initial Guidance Due to Stronger Than Expected March; 41% Growth Vs. Q4‘20
NEW YORK, April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (“the Company”) (NASDAQ: LFMD), a leading direct-to-patient telehealth company, today announced expected record revenue of $18.2M for Q1’21. The Company had previously guided towards revenue to be greater than $17 million (Link). However, a stronger than expected March resulted in performance exceeding that guidance. The expected quarterly revenue represents an increase of 323% year-over-year and a 41% increase compared to last quarter. Telehealth order volume grew by 373% versus the year-ago quarter, driven by both strong retention and new patient acquisition.
Justin Schreiber, CEO of LifeMD commented, “We are pleased to report another strong quarter, as revenue for Q1‘21 grew by 323% compared to revenue in Q1’20 and more than 40% quarter-over-quarter, driven by a rapidly growing recurring subscriber base and efficient acquisition spending. We onboarded a substantial number of new patients to our platform this quarter at an improved cost per acquisition (“CPA”) when compared to the prior quarter. We are excited to share more detailed metrics on our upcoming earnings call.”
Subscriptions generated 92% of revenue in Q1’21, compared to 75% in Q1’20. The increase in subscription revenue is largely due to increased sales of the company’s Shapiro MD™ hair products for men and women under a new subscription-based program, as well as continued increased subscription sales of the company’s telemedicine brand for men, Rex MD™.
LifeMD CFO, Marc Benathen, commented, “LifeMD continues to realize the significant benefits of our subscription-based business model underscored by strong patient retention and growing levels of patient acquisition. Our team has done a tremendous job of thoroughly monitoring expenses across the full brand portfolio to ensure efficient spending, while achieving a 41% increase in sequential revenue growth. As mentioned, March 2021 was a record month. We look forward to providing a complete financial and operational update on our upcoming earnings call.”
Mr. Schreiber added, “I am very proud of what our management team has accomplished in short order, and with their help, LifeMD is well-positioned to continue achieving revenue growth and further expand its footprint nationwide. In bridging the gap between technology and healthcare, we are also driving innovation, as evidenced by our patients actively choosing to enroll in our subscription-based offerings. We were also able to expand our portfolio of brand offerings at the end of the quarter when we successfully launched NavaMD™, the Company’s teledermatology brand. We are pleased by the early data we are seeing from this newly launched brand. We are also gearing up for the launch of LifeMD’s longitudinal telehealth service as part of a holistic patient-centered business model and comprehensive brand portfolio.”
Very nice ... low 10$ and high 50$ target LFMD
Thanks for posting. This is a very detailed and complete analysis. After reading it twice I concluded that yes, the company has been conservative in its revenue estimates and had given guidance based on existing lines, and BTIG has also been conservative (as one would expect of a credible firm). Growth from existing biz will be higher than viewed and we will know early this week. Based on the company's marketing success, new product and new line launches will add significantly to the growth rate over 2021 and beyond. The company is a quality operator and takes great pains to control its operations and deliver quality at every point of contact. Hence the LifeMD concierge program will have traction and will grow nicely as a result of patient satisfaction. A 20 or 30 something can buy a cheap catastrophic policy and supplement it with LifeMD for $1200 per year and have very reasonable health risk coverage for less than $3000 vs conventional coverage of $9000. Seems like a no brainer.
Another factor is Cost of new patients. Ad cost were exceptionally high in Q4 due to the presidential election. Costs will be in line now AND the exceptional level of subscription relationships will mean a decline in the average marketing cost per shipment. Hence when Q1 comes out, expenses will look much more moderate.
Predicting the stock price is difficult due to the short situation. Will they continue to try to suppress? Will they scramble to cover in the face of high investor demand for a cheap stock? Will more institutions buy a bargain? But the trend will be up. This week's revenue announcement could be pivotal. If revenue growth accelerated from Q4 we may be off to the races.

"Liquidity Evaluation
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $122.9 million and has experienced significant losses from its operations. Although the Company is showing significant positive revenue trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2022."
"Reverse Stock Split
On October 9, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Amendment”) in order to effectuate a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split” or “Split”). The Reverse Split was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and became effective in the market on October 14, 2020."
"On February 11, 2021, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement offering (the “February 2021 Offering”), whereby pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (the “February 2021 Purchase Agreement”) entered into by the Company and certain accredited investors on February 11, 2021 the Investors purchased 608,696 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.01 per share at a purchase price of $23.00per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was funded on the closing date and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.5 million after deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to fund growth initiatives, as well as for general corporate purposes.
On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a financial institution (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued: (i) a senior secured redeemable debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Aggregate Principal Amount”), and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share (the “Warrant”) of which 500,000 warrants were issued to the Purchaser upon closing with the remaining 1,000,000 warrants only issued to the Purchaser in increments of 500,000 if the Debenture remains outstanding for twelve and twenty four months, respectively, following the closing date of the Purchase Agreement. The Warrant has a term of three years, and the Debenture has a maturity date of three years. The Debenture may be paid fully or in part by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty to the Company. The Company received gross proceeds of $15.0 million and intends to use such proceeds for working capital, growth investment and general corporate purposes. In October 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the October 4, 2021 Preferred and Common Stock Offerings noted below to pay the $15.0 million outstanding on the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement.
On June 8, 2021, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, or “Securities Act”, which was declared effective on June 22, 2021 (the “2021 Shelf”). Under the 2021 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the Company had the ability to raise up to $150 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units. In conjunction with the 2021 Shelf, the Company also entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”, and collectively the “Agents”) relating to the sale of its common stock. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may, but is not obligated to, offer and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $60million, through or to the Agents, acting as agent or principal. Sales of common stock, if any, will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities for our operations and for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, general working capital and possible future acquisitions. There were 70,786 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Sales Agreement as of September 30, 2021 and net proceeds received were $493,481. The Company had approximately $59.5 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement and $90 million available under the 2021 Shelf as of September 30, 2021.
In September 2021, the Company entered into two underwriting agreements (the “Preferred Underwriting Agreement” and “the Common Underwriting Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B.Riley”). Pursuant to the Preferred Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 1,400,000 shares of its 8.875% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). In addition, the company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 210,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock within 30 days. Under the Common Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to B. Riley 3,833,334 shares of common stock (including 500,000 shares pursuant to B. Riley’s option) (the “Common Shares”), par value $0.01 per share, of the Company at a public offering price of $6.00 per share of common stock, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Common Stock Offering”). The Preferred Stock Offering and Common Stock Offering collectively referred to as the “Offerings”, closed on October 4, 2021. Net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, the structuring fee and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, but before repayment of debt, from the Offerings was approximately $55.3 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to pay the $15.0 million outstanding on the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to fund the segregated dividend account, for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, new patient customer acquisition expenses and capital expenditures.
The Company will pay cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock, from the date of original issuance, in the amount of $2.21875 per share each year, which is equivalent to 8.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly in arrears, on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. The first dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock sold in this offering will be paid on or about January 15, 2022."
