Repurchase Program

From January 1, 2020 to March 10, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $3.42 per share for a total of $12.9 million and repurchased $3.2 million in aggregate principal amount of December 2021 Convertible Notes and $10.5 million in aggregate principal amount of December 2024 Convertible Notes.

Amendment to CareView Modification Agreement

As further discussed in Note 7, Notes and Other Long-Term Receivables, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in January 2020 we entered into an amendment of the February 2018 Modification Agreement with CareView that deferred principal repayment and interest payments until April 30, 2020, conditioned upon CareView raising additional financing from third parties.

Plan of Liquidation

In December 2019, the Company announced that it had completed a strategic review process and decided to halt the execution of its growth strategy, cease additional strategic transactions and investments and pursue a formal process to unlock value by monetizing its assets and returning net proceeds to stockholders. Over the subsequent months, the Company’s board of directors and management analyzed, together with outside financial and legal advisors, how to best capture value pursuant to its monetization strategy and return the significant intrinsic value of the high-quality assets in its portfolio to its stockholders. On February 7, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan of complete liquidation for the Company’s assets and a resolution to seek stockholder approval to dissolve the Company at its next annual meeting of the stockholders.

Pursuant to the board’s decisions of February 7, 2020, noted above, the change in control clause in the Amended 2005 Equity Incentive Plan was triggered, accelerating the vesting of a significant portion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $16.3 million to be recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
