LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA--(Marketwired - April 19, 2016) - Patient Home Monitoring Corp. ("PHM") (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a healthcare service company in the US and Canada, announced today that it has promoted Greg Crawford to the position of Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Crawford joined PHM through PHM's purchase of Patient-Aids, Inc. last year.

During the period of his ownership, Patient-Aids grew at an annual rate of approximately 25% and from 2013 through 2015 more than doubled its revenue and quadrupled its earnings as it acquired and successfully integrated 5 home medical equipment ("HME") businesses.

In finalizing the post-closing payments for the previously announced acquisition of Patient-Aids, PHM and Mr. Crawford have agreed to amend the original purchase agreement which required PHM to pay approximately $11.4 million to Mr. Crawford in a combination of cash and shares over two payments in April and October 2016.

Under the amending agreement, Mr. Crawford has elected to receive all of the remaining consideration due under the original purchase agreement for 33,758,952 shares in addition to stepping into his new role as Chief Operating Officer. As a result, total insider ownership will exceed 20%. In addition, PHM will issue to an arms-length party 285,000 shares associated with the closing of the amendment. The foregoing transactions are subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

"Greg will make an excellent addition to the executive management team with his background, expertise, and based on his execution over the last six months," said Casey Hoyt, CEO of PHM. "Greg brings substantial operating and M&A experience to his role as PHM's Chief Operating Officer. A hands-on, problem solver, Greg has demonstrated significant skill at growing HME businesses both organically and by acquisition."

"I am extremely excited about joining the senior leadership team of PHM and continuing to build upon our prior growth successes through bolt-on acquisitions, organic growth and operating efficiencies," said Greg Crawford, COO of PHM. "There is significant value in the PHM shares and our leadership team has a significant stake in the ongoing Company where we intend to create value for all shareholders."
