ACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000-- e-MedSoft.com (OTC:MDTK) today announced that it has received approval from the American Stock Exchange(R) (AMEX) for listing of the company's common stock on the AMEX.
The AMEX approval will result in the company changing its stock symbol from MDTK to MED when it begins trading on the AMEX, early next week.
Commenting on this important development, John F. Andrews, the company's president and chief executive officer, stated: "We are proud to have achieved this AMEX listing.
"In the middle of this market, where investors must be ever more discerning, we stand secure as a company that has conservatively and methodically built itself up by its own 'bootstraps' to become the leader in the industry. I believe very strongly that this is the year of e-MedSoft.com."
The American Stock Exchange(R) is part of the Nasdaq-Amex Market Group(SM), which operates the Nasdaq Stock Market(R) and is a subsidiary of the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc., the largest securities-industry, self-regulatory organization in the United States.
The American Stock Exchange(R) is the second-largest in exchange-listed equity options, has the most technologically advanced floor-based exchange, and has significant presence in common stocks, index shares and equity derivatives. The American Stock Exchange(R) is also a leader in developing innovative products to meet the increasingly complex needs of market participants.
The American Stock Exchange(R) is home to a growing list of actively traded-index-linked securities, such as DIAMONDS(R), SPDRS(R) and WEBS(R), and its auction market structure has attracted listings of companies from a wide range of industries.
Separately, the company has sold out and closed a private financing of about $7 million, which was initiated early in the fourth calendar quarter of 1999. The financing, which was arranged through one of the company's investment bankers, Sutro & Co., was placed with several institutional investors as well as certain accredited investors.
The financing consisted of a unit offering comprising one share of restricted common stock and one warrant to purchase a restricted share at an exercise price of $4 per share. The common-stock portion of the unit (at $2) is subject to contractual provisions, including a delayed registration.
The proceeds will be used for continued business expansion and development, fulfillment of certain customer contracts and working capital and other corporate purposes.
