Progressive Care Inc. announce that it has entered into an agreement for a recapitalization of its current debt and a strategic investment by NextPlat Corp. NextPlat's management team and select members of its Board of Directors will provide Progressive Care with their market-proven experience in healthcare and digital technology including the development of new healthcare and lifestyle products to be sold via NextPlat's global e-commerce marketplaces. As part of this transaction, Mr. Fernandez will be appointed as Chairman of Progressive Care's Board of Directors (the “Board”) replacing Alan Jay Weisberg who will step down from this position to assume the new role of Vice Chairman, remaining on the Board, while also continuing to serve as Progressive Care's CEO.

Mr. Barreto will also be joining the Board as Vice Chairman. Dawson James Securities Inc. (“Dawson”) served as the placement agent for this transaction. Progressive Care intends to utilize a portion of the growth capital to further fund the deployment of its digital platforms and the development and sale of new health, fitness, and beauty products.

Over the past 30 years, Mr. Fernandez has successfully identified profitable start-up and dislocation opportunities, and built significant shareholder value, executing both private and public exits. Mr. Fernandez's expertise in technology and healthcare includes co-founding Lakeview Health Systems (acquired by a private equity firm for approximately $70 million) and Continucare Corporation (acquired by Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. for approximately $400 million) where he served as chairman, president and CEO. He also served as an investor, director, and Chairman of the Audit Committee of IVAX Corporation for nearly a decade prior to its purchase by Teva Pharmaceuticals for $8.7 billion.
