Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 16, 2023, UpHealth, Inc. (the “Company” or “UpHealth”) issued a press release announcing the execution of a membership interests purchase agreement, dated as of November 16, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Cloudbreak Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Cloudbreak”), and Forest Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and an affiliate of GTCR LLC, a leading private equity firm (“GTCR”), pursuant to which, at the closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from the Company, 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Cloudbreak. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding obtaining customary regulatory and stockholder approval, the closing, including its timing, of the sale of Cloudbreak, the use of proceeds of the sale, the projected operation and financial performance of UpHealth and its various subsidiaries, including following the sale of Cloudbreak, its product offerings and developments and reception of its product by customers, and UpHealth’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future revenue and the business plans of UpHealth’s management team. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management of UpHealth considering their respective experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments and their potential effects on UpHealth as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting UpHealth will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the closing conditions for the sale of Cloudbreak not being satisfied, the ability of the parties to close the sale on the expected closing date or at all, the ability of UpHealth to service or otherwise pay its debt obligations, including to holders of UpHealth’s convertible notes in the event the closing does not occur, the mix of services utilized by UpHealth’s customers and such customers’ needs for these services, market acceptance of new service offerings, the ability of UpHealth to expand what it does for existing customers as well as to add new customers, uncertainty with respect to how the ICA or the Indian courts shall decide various matters that are before them or that the Glocal Board will act in compliance with their fiduciary duties to their shareholders, that UpHealth will have sufficient capital to operate as anticipated, and the impact that the novel coronavirus and the illness, COVID-19, that it causes, as well as government responses to deal with the spread of this illness and the reopening of economies that have been closed as part of these responses, may have on UpHealth’s operations, the demand for UpHealth’s products, global supply chains and economic activity in general. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. UpHealth undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
