MSP Recovery, which powers LifeWallet, announced
today that it has entered into a licensing agreement with a new
client for a $7.5 million one-time fee, as well as expected
prospective fees of $1 million per year. The licensing agreement
provides the Company’s client with a license to utilize its
proprietary LifeWallet platform. LifeWallet launched its
state-of-the-art technology in January 2022. LifeWallet provides
real-time analytics at the point of care, helping identify the
primary insurer, assisting providers in receiving reasonable and
customary rates for accident-related treatment, shortening the
company’s collection time frame, and increasing revenue visibility
and predictability. The platform will also avoid the improper
documenting of medical claims that leads to improper billing,
thereby preventing fraud, waste, and abuse. The LifeWallet platform
also provides an Application Programming Interface (“API”) that
allows patients to gain immediate access to all of their medical
records when seeking medical treatments.
The LifeWallet licensing agreement provides the Company’s client
with various software capabilities, including but not limited
to:
- a provider portal, which is a web-based dashboard that allows
the client to manage their patient population;
- bi-directional integration into
Electronic Health Records (“EHR”);
- universal patient intake forms to
be received prior to appointments;
- biometric check-in capabilities,
including a facial recognition check-in system and verification
backed by government-issued Real ID codes (See prior, August
4, 2022 press release titled “MSP Recovery Announces
LifeWallet Implementation Program at Cano Health Medical
Centers”);
- enhanced scheduling
capabilities;
- intelligent infrastructure,
including on-site data and navigation, and complete Internet of
Things (“IOT”) connectivity and asset tracking tools; and
- cutting-edge blockchain technology,
which allows for the creation of an expansive ledger for all
historical and real-time medical claims transactions in the MSP
Recovery and LifeWallet ecosystems. (See prior, May 20, 2022
press release titled “Polygon Partners with Tokenology and MSP
Recovery to Tokenize Healthcare Claims On-Chain”).
“We are pleased, but not surprised, that the
healthcare industry has taken a substantial liking to LifeWallet
and that our team’s hard work has started to generate fees from
LifeWallet,” said MSP Recovery Founder and CEO, John H. Ruiz.
“LifeWallet is revolutionary and one of its kind, the result of
many minds coming together to provide cutting-edge technology that
will save lives, reduce labor costs and increase revenues. It
provides patients, providers, and payers with a very unique
ecosystem that was carefully designed to effectively eliminate the
majority of the flaws that currently exist as it relates to health
data and payer systems, including the processing of registration
forms, data intake, data processing, data normalization, and claims
adjudication, in addition to the quality of a patient’s interaction
with their provider. LifeWallet creates one unified ecosystem
allowing us to achieve monetization from claims ingestion through
adjudication. We are confident that, as we continue expanding, many
of our more than 160 clients will want to implement these
technologies in the future. And as LifeWallet expands its scope of
services, the licensing fees allow users to gain access to the
system, while yearly fees will also be generated for the continued
use of the technology.”
MSP Recovery also announced today that it has
entered into new agreements with one of its original sources of
funding in 2015 that will immediately result in existing debt
forgiveness of $63 million, and discontinue the accrual of
approximately $40 million per year in interest.
Specifically, the Company announced that it has
finalized an Amendment to the Claim Proceeds Investment Agreement
(the “Amendment”) and a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”)
with Brickell Key Investments LP (the “Holder”), pursuant to which
the parties have agreed to amend the original Claims Proceeds
Investment Agreement ("CPIA") and required payment terms.
Pursuant to the agreements, the Company has
granted the Holder the right to purchase Class A common shares in
the Company (the "Class A Shares") in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement. The maximum amount of Class A Shares
that the Holder may purchase from the Company is 66,666,666 (the
“Amount”) for a purchase price equal to $6,666.67 ($0.0001 per
Class A Share) (the “Exercise Price”), and is payable in cash. This
Warrant (the “Warrant”) will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on
September 30, 2027, and may be exercised in whole or in part by
Holder at any time prior to such date. The Holder can only sell a
maximum of 15% per month of the Class A Shares obtained through the
Warrant.
In exchange for the Company issuing the Warrant,
the amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to CPIA are reduced from
approximately $143 million to equal $80 million (the "Reduced
Obligation"), and no further interest will accrue. The Holder has
the right to receive the $80 million owed through (1) proceeds as
outlined in the CPIA, (2) cash paid by the Company or (3)
monetization of the Warrant (through the sale of the Warrant or
sale of the underlying Class A Shares). If the Holder monetizes the
Warrant, the amount owed will be reduced at a measure of $1.20 per
Class A Share (5 day volume weighted average price as of September
30, 2022).
In connection with the Amendment and Warrant
Agreement, the Holder also executed a Stock Pledge Agreement (the
"Pledge Agreement") with MSP Founders, John H. Ruiz and Frank
Quesada (the "Founders"), whereby Up-C Units were pledged as
collateral to further secure the Reduced Obligation. The Pledge
Agreement also provides the option to the Founders to repurchase
the Warrant from the Holder on or before June 30, 2023 for $80
million, and the Founders and the Company have agreed that such
option will only be exercised at the direction of, and will
ultimately be repurchased by, the Company.
“Brickell Key Investments was our first investor
that believed in our vision and in MSP Recovery,” said MSP Recovery
Founder and CEO, John H. Ruiz. “I am honored and at the same time
pleased that after 7 years of hard work we have proven ourselves to
Brickell Key Investments to the point that they exchanged debt into
an equity position. Brickell Key Investments is now an owner of MSP
Recovery. At the same time, through negotiations, they determined
that exchanging their debt for equity provided them with a better
position for them as well as for MSP Recovery. In my opinion, this
is a testament to a strong belief in our team."
