VitalHub has acquired Hicom, via a share acquisition by its wholly-owned subsidiary, VitalHub UK Limited, for a purchase price of £8,700,000. The purchase price paid at closing was composed of a cash payment of £7,825,000 and the issuance of 475,104 shares of VitalHub to the shareholders of Hicom (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration was calculated at a price of $3.016 per VitalHub share and represents total value to the vendors of £875,000. Fifty percent (50%) of the Share Consideration shall be subject to contractual trading restrictions for a period of six (6) months. In addition, the Sellers could receive future contingent payments of up to £1,550,000 based on Hicom achieving certain post-closing milestones.

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2022, Hicom has estimated revenue of approximately £5.35M, of which Hicom has identified £4.2M to be recurring in nature with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately £1.05M.

Dan Matlow, VitalHub CEO, commented on the Acquisition stating, “We are extremely excited to welcome Hicom to the VitalHub family. With this acquisition, Hicom brings the expansion of VitalHub’s existing customer base with the addition of 200 customers on an international basis and introduces six new solutions with potential for cross selling into our existing base. Hicom’s market-leading diabetes management systems, Diamond and Twinkle, are currently used by greater than 100 customers worldwide. We believe these solutions can be offered to an international customer base. The long-established expertise of the HICOM team is truly amazing and we expect their impact will be extremely synergistic in short order.”

“We have been involved in Hicom since inception and over that time we have developed fantastic relationships with our colleagues and our clients, and delivered software that has made a real difference” said John Sanderson and Bruce Richards, the principals of Hicom. “The acquisition by VitalHub is a new and exciting chapter in Hicom’s story and provides a great opportunity for Hicom to accelerate its growth, while remaining true to our core values, brand and people. With a shared vision, both VitalHub and Hicom can maximise benefits from our products and market through a combination of talent, expertise and ambition, creating significant value for the investors, security and innovation for our clients, and career opportunities for our colleagues. We are both proud of what Hicom has achieved to date and we are looking forward to seeing the VitalHub group evolve and grow with the union of these two great organisations.”

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System

The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.

Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.

“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”

ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.

“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
