Shanghai, China and MINNEAPOLIS – June 28, 2017 – Sage Convalescence Gaiety ("SCG") a, Shanghai, China healthcare firm and OrangeHook, Inc. (OTCQB:  ORHK) ("OrangeHook"), announced today that they have reached an agreement on material terms and executed a non-binding term sheet to form a joint venture based in Shanghai for the delivery of healthcare infrastructure solutions in the China healthcare market. The joint venture's intended product offerings will be based on each of the parties' proprietary technologies, and will include an SCG integrated "continuum of care" platform powered by OrangeHook's patient identification and payments technologies.  The to-be-named JV intends to offer bundled healthcare technology services to Chinese healthcare providers consisting of point of sale hardware solutions, state of the art smart cards, and mobile SIM card applications.

 

 

"We expect China's healthcare providers and consumers will significantly benefit from OrangeHook's solution offerings," said Xian Feng, Chairman & CEO of SCG.  "These high-performance systems are intended to reduce patient identification errors and related fraud issues, which has the potential to vastly reduce liabilities for Chinese healthcare providers and significantly improve patient care. These applications identify the patient with high reliability, creating interoperability efficiencies for China's healthcare system and the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens who attend China's healthcare facilities on average 5.5 times per year." 

 

 

"Our intended partnership and joint solution is truly driven by customer demand in the China market," James L. Mandel, CEO of OrangeHook, Inc. stated. "Healthcare providers desire flexibility and performance quality, which are offered by the OrangeHook applications, as well as the superior data efficiency, mobility, and built-in data protection that is compliant with all healthcare standards, which we believe only OrangeHook solutions deliver. OrangeHook is excited about this planned relationship with SCG and the proven experience and background of the SCG management team." 

 

 

 A key component of the term sheet calls for SCG to purchase between 500,000 and 2 million shares of OrangeHook's common stock and/or payment of royalties depending on the timing and amount of the stock purchase. All equity purchases are to be based upon a valuation of a minimum of $20 per share.  Closing of the transaction is subject to conditions including, among other things, completion of definitive agreements, board approvals, and possible regulatory approvals by both the United States and Chinese governments. Additional details of the transaction will be disclosed once a definitive agreement is executed.
