(“Streamline,” “Streamline Health,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STRM), a leading provider of solutions that enable healthcare providers to proactively address revenue leakage and improve financial performance, today announced a strategic alignment of its business and the closing of its previously announced registered direct offering of common stock.
Strategic Alignment
The Company has consolidated its eValuator and Avelead businesses into one organization. The Company believes the alignment will accelerate progress within its innovation and service functions.

Ben Stilwill has most recently served as CEO, eValuator Solutions and, prior to that, as Streamline’s Senior Vice President of Customer Success.

“I am thrilled to continue to lead and evolve the culture of excellence we have developed at Streamline. Our team is focused on helping our country’s health systems get paid for the care they provide by optimizing revenue integrity prior to billing. These moves help us further pursue that mission.” stated Ben Stilwill, President, Streamline Health.
Jawad Shaikh was previously CEO, Avelead Solutions, which he cofounded in 2014. Jawad was also the founder and senior partner of Accision Health, a Health IT service and consulting firm, from 2000-2010 prior to its merger with Parallon Technology Solutions. Jawad’s vision for delivering solutions in the form of healthcare technology-specific services and customized healthcare software offerings has delivered results for clients nationally.
“I am excited to have the opportunity to work with the entire Streamline Health team to help our health system clients put an end to lost revenue.” Said Jawad Shaikh, Chief Strategy Officer, Streamline Health.

Prior to joining nThrive, Ms. Sebero spent 10 years as a CPA in healthcare auditing and consulting at Ernst & Young. Ms. Sebero holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of North Florida.
“My career has been dedicated to improving the financial well-being of healthcare organizations, allowing them to better serve their patients and communities. I believe the solutions we offer at Streamline have significant value for any health system and I am thrilled to lead our combined growth function.” Said Amy Sebero, Chief Growth Officer, Streamline Health.
“I am thrilled to work with Ben to lead our organization in providing world class solutions to our clients.” Commented Tee Green, Chief Executive Officer, Streamline Health Solutions. “Thanks to the execution of this strategic alignment, we continue to expect to achieve cash generation during the second half of fiscal 2023, while continuing to make strides within each of innovation, service and growth.”
As a result of the consolidation of the eValuator and Avelead businesses, the Company expects to realize approximately $1.5 million of annualized cost savings as of November 1, 2022; with an additional $1.5 million of annualized cost savings to be realized through future actions executed throughout fiscal 2023. More than 10% of these cost savings are expected to be attributable to salary reductions from the Company’s executive management. Streamline maintained its previous expectation to exit fiscal 2022 with $17.0 million of Booked SaaS ACV and announced that it expects to exit fiscal 2023 with $30.0 million of Booked SaaS ACV.

The Company also announced that it had closed its previously announced registered direct offering to sell a total of 6,299,989 shares of common stock to certain investors at a purchase price of $1.32 per share, which represents the closing price on The NASDAQ Capital Market on October 24, 2022.
