MMRGlobal Discusses M&A Strategy in Conference Call With Shareholders


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 5, 2011) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) ("MMR"), in a conference call with shareholders last week, discussed its strategy to identify transactions with large privately held companies in healthcare, health IT and revenue cycle management that have expressed interest in becoming publicly traded. MMR previously reported the existence of a non-binding term sheet with a company in which negotiations are taking place. MMR is also pursuing other existing opportunities at the same time to ensure that any transaction will be the best one available for its shareholders. Valuations for publicly traded companies in the healthcare space are at an all time high, ranging from multiples of more than five times revenue to more than 20 times EBITDA. Growth in valuations is attributed to guidelines, requirements and regulations of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) creating significant business opportunities for companies in healthcare IT. Completion of a transaction could result in significantly increased valuations to shareholders of MMR and the opportunity for the Company to secure listing on a national exchange.

"This strategy is similar to one I used in the past when I was CEO of a prepaid calling card company. I founded that company with $5,000 and through a series of mergers and acquisitions with larger revenue companies, it grew into a billion dollar NASDAQ market cap company," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal. "A lot of larger private companies in health IT and revenue cycle management want to be able to take advantage of the value in their equity by being in the public market, however, they cannot because of the difficulty to bring a public offering in the current financial climate. Existing MMR shareholders would get the benefit of significant revenue multiples while the Company could get the benefit of qualifying for listing on a national market exchange."
