Medical Care Technologies Inc. Announces Financing Approval For
Medical Equipment
BEIJING, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Care
Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MDCE), a growing American medical
company providing information technology systems, family and
children's healthcare services and Western healthcare products for
distribution in China, is
pleased to announce that it has received approval from a major
Australian financing firm who will underwrite a minimum of US
$500,000 in equipment financing to
fund the Company's acquisition of medical equipment for its
Shenzhen health clinic.
The financing will be guaranteed by a principal of the Company's
Chinese joint venture partner and secured by the medical equipment
purchased. Thus far, MDCE has identified and sourced pricing
of US $365,000 in medical equipment
and clinical tools for its Shenzhen clinic. Terms of the financing are
expected to be in the range of 36-60 months, with an effective
interest rate of between 6-8% and can be repaid without penalty at
any time. Title to the medical equipment will transfer to the
Shenzhen clinic operations at the
completion of the term. The financing proposal is subject to
customary closing conditions.
Medical Care Technologies Inc. announced last fall, the signing
of an MOU with Dragon Link Group Ltd. of Hong Kong, for an infrastructure financing of
approximately US $1.5M. With a
minimum US $500,000 approval from the
Australian underwriter, Dragon Link's infrastructure financing will
reduce to US $1M. This arrangement
between Dragon Link and MDCE, which encompasses the Shenzhen clinic, a Dongguan location, and future operations
across Guangdong Province, is
still very much in play. Dragon Link's extensive due
diligence of MDCE's proposed clinic operations is nearing
completion and expects to close definitive documents in due
time.
"Securing this important element of our equipment financing is
essential to us meeting our healthcare services objectives,"
commented Luis Kuo, President. "The
financial support of this major underwriter further validates our
belief that the Shenzhen clinic is
an excellent opportunity with significant potential."
"Our unwavering goal is to lay an unshakeable foundation for our
Western-style healthcare initiatives across China, initiatives that will prosper for
decades and will become cornerstones of China's future healthcare system", said CEO
Ning Wu. "We are taking the time to
ensure that every step we take in these crucial days of our
clinic's development stage is measured and sure-footed," she
added.
