Myrtle Recovery Centers and Scott County Community Hospital are established businesses with opportunities for continued growth. Moreover, these transactions bring meaningful cash flow to FOXO. Our plan is to considerably grow these revenues over the next couple of years, including from the rights we secured to expand these businesses into another East Tennessee property owned by Rennova. Furthermore, Rennova’s history in diagnostic testing, coupled with its expertise in healthcare IT and software, creates additional opportunities for FOXO to expand and deliver our current technologies to the marketplace. We believe these transactions represent a key inflection point for FOXO by combining our innovative epigenetic and AI-based epigenetic solutions, such as the VITHAR AI Health Coach, with their robust healthcare services to bring an unprecedented level of care to patients.
