LEESBURG, Va., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Secure Point Technologies Inc. (OTC: IMSCQ) (the "Company") executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") to acquire Vivos BioTechnologies, Inc. ("Vivos") in a reverse merger as part of the Company's plan to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the "Transaction"). Under the terms of the LOI, the Company's pre-Transaction shareholders will own 33% of the combined company, subject to reduction to 22.5% if certain performance thresholds are met by 2019 or 2020, as set forth in the LOI. Pursuant to the LOI, the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Company having $7,000,000 of cash on hand, confirmation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization, the vote of shareholders in favor of the Plan Reinvestment Option pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the approval of the Transaction by the Company's stockholders upon emergence from Chapter 11 and the conversion of the Company to a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the LOI, the merged company intends to seek to uplist back to the NASDAQ Exchange when the company is eligible, and in furtherance of that goal, the LOI provides for, but does not require, a reverse stock split after the merger to facilitate a NASDAQ listing. Company management believes the merger with Vivos consistent with the terms of the LOI will significantly benefit the Company's shareholders, as compared to a simple liquidation of the Company, because, among other things, it allows the Company's shareholders to benefit from the value of Vivos' potential for growth.
Vivos owns a proprietary, patented technology for non-surgical enhancement of a person's upper airway to resolve the serious medical condition known as sleep apnea. The Vivos DNA Appliance System has been effective in the resolution of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep and breathing disorders in both children and adults. Sleep Apnea, is typically treated with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device or CPAP, which is thought to be the most effective treatment, though it is not a cure. However, patients frequently stop using the CPAP device after a short period of time, thus leaving themselves vulnerable to the medical complications from Sleep Apnea. Patients who successfully complete the 12-24 month Vivos treatment may no longer require (CPAP) or Mandibular Advancement (oral devices worn while sleeping over a lifetime). The FDA cleared Vivos oral appliance treatment is an all-natural, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical solution effective in addressing some of the underlying causes of OSA. Researchers have published about 80 clinical studies showing clear and compelling evidence of changes in the overall size and position of the upper airway and surrounding facial structures. Many of these articles can be found on the Vivoslife.com website.
Statistics regarding the prevalence of sleep disorders in the US vary from study to study, but according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website, an estimated 50-70 million American adults suffer with some form of this condition. In addition, the NIH website further states that a comparable percentage (25-30%) of children and adolescents also suffer from sleep disorders. In the 2011 NIH Sleep Disorders Research Plan the NIH stated that "An estimated 25-30% of the general adult population, and a comparable percentage of children and adolescents, is affected by decrements in sleep health that are proven contributors to disability, morbidity and mortality."Vivos has trained and certified well over 600 dentists throughout the Unites States and internationally. These professionals have treated approximately 7,000 patients, many of whom report resolution of their OSA symptoms and health improvements. The procedure is reimbursed by virtually all medical insurance companies, including Medicare. Vivos is currently expanding into major metropolitan markets by opening branded clinics focused solely on treating sleep and breathing disorders, and craniofacial pain, featuring the unique clinical advantages of the Vivos DNA Appliance System. Vivos projects 50-75 centers will open by the end of 2020.
Michael Turmelle, the Company's Chairman, stated, "We are excited to have identified Vivos to potentially merge with after a substantial search and due diligence process. Given the resources and assets Secure Point expects to have upon emerging from Bankruptcy, we believe that owning up to 33% of a company with a technology that may be more revolutionary than Align Technology's Invisalign product will provide our shareholders with an attractive investment opportunity."
