Ontrak, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTRK) (“Ontrak” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered and telehealth enabled, virtualized outpatient healthcare treatment company, today announced that it has closed its previously announced underwritten public offering of 1,700,000 shares of its 9.50% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock“) at $25.00 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $42.5 million. The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 255,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock initially sold to the public. The Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “OTRKP.” After deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, the net proceeds to the Company were approximately $39.3 million prior to any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

Mr. Terren Peizer, Chairman and CEO of Ontrak, stated: “We are pleased to see how well this financing was received by the capital markets. It is highly unusual to have grown so rapidly over the last 3 ½ years without issuing any common equity to fund our growth. This financing strategy has greatly enhanced shareholder value. We are now well capitalized to execute on the strategic initiatives that we believe will further accelerate our growth trajectory and commercial expansion.”

B. Riley FBR, Ladenburg Thalmann and William Blair acted as book-running managers for the offering. ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. acted as Lead Manager. Incapital, The Benchmark Company, Boenning & Scattergood, Colliers Securities and Kingswood Capital Markets, a Division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. acted as co-managers.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to fund a segregated dividend account for the payments of the first eight quarterly dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock and to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, M&A, and investments in technology.

The offering of the Series A Preferred Stock was made under the Company’s existing effective shelf registration statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
