FOXO TECHNOLOGIES INC. CEO SEAMUS LAGAN PROVIDES YEAR-END REVIEW TO SHAREHOLDERS
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, December 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOXO Technologies Inc. (OTC: FOXO) (the “Company”), announces Chief Executive Officer Seamus Lagan has provided the following Year-End Review to shareholders:
FOXO Shareholders:
As we rapidly approach year-end, I wanted to reach out to our shareholders to review key milestones of 2025 and preview our go-forward operating and growth strategy. Much of the foundation of the “new” FOXO was created in mid-2024 when the Company acquired both Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. and Rennova Community Health, Inc. (including its principal subsidiary, Scott County Community Hospital, Inc.). More recently, we expanded our portfolio of healthcare-related businesses through the acquisition of Vector BioSource, Inc.
Myrtle Recovery Centers
Since opening its doors in August 2023, Myrtle’s first location in Oneida, Tennessee has positioned itself as a leading provider of residential and medically supervised withdrawal treatment services for substance use disorders in greater Tennessee. Key aspects of the business include:
| ● | Has served patients from 63 of 95 counties in Tennessee since opening | |
| ● | Current average daily census of 28 (93% occupancy) compared to average daily census of 7.4 for 2024 (25% occupancy) | |
| ● | Patient treatment mix is approximately 85% residential treatment services and 15% medically supervised withdrawal services | |
| ● | Projected patient admissions of 550 for 2025 compared to 195 patient admissions in 2024 | |
| ● | Received numerous local and statewide accolades and has received awards for its community outreach and care model | |
| ● | Been awarded funding through the State of Tennessee Opioid Abatement Fund for treatment of uninsured patients in Scott County, Tennessee | |
| ● | Working with software developers on a mobile application called “Evana” that seeks to connect Myrtle’s post-discharge patient population with Myrtle care professionals with the goal of monitoring and meeting patient after-care needs. Myrtle expects the application will provide improved patient care and satisfaction after discharge, aid in development of a strong alumni support system as well as increase the overall awareness of Myrtle capabilities in the communities it serves. |
With its Oneida facility consistently at capacity and having excess referrals, Myrtle is actively considering other locations to replicate its operating model.
Rennova Community Health (including Scott County Community Hospital)
Scott County Community Hospital, known as Big South Fork Medical Center, is FOXO’s flagship acute care hospital (designated as a Critical Access Hospital) serving Scott County, Tennessee and surrounding communities. The facility offers inpatient (including swing bed) services and outpatient and emergency room services alongside a range of ancillary services such as lab, radiology, pharmacy and respiratory services. Hospital profile:
| ● | Projected to see over 7,000 ER patients in 2025 in addition to over 3,500 outpatient visits and 300 inpatient stays | |
| ● | Recently added swing bed (inpatient) and wound care (inpatient and outpatient) services | |
| ● | In-network with all major payors (including Medicare Advantage plans and Tennessee Medicaid managed care plans) |
Vector BioSource
We believe our most recent acquisition of Vector BioSource, Inc. (“Vector”) establishes FOXO as a growing player in the pharmaceutical services sector. Vector sources biospecimens (blood, urine) and sells such biospecimens to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical research sectors both in the US and abroad. We expect Vector to generate approximately $1 million of net revenues for 2025 and expect significant growth of the business as we invest capital to build infrastructure, expand markets and secure propriety sources of supply. Moreover, we see significant additional acquisition opportunities in this sector.
Corporate and Growth Outlook
From a corporate perspective, we had an active year where several legacy liabilities were settled for cash or more often with FOXO preferred stock. In addition, we both strengthened and streamlined our corporate management team. Our financials demonstrate:
| ● | Reported net revenues of approximately $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and expect to exceed $15 million in net revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2025 | |
| ● | Strengthened equity—equity increased from $5.3 million at December 31, 2024 to $20.2 million at September 30, 2025 | |
| ● | Reduced debt from $10.2 million at December 31, 2024, to $7.1 million at September 30, 2025 | |
| ● | Settled in full the $2.3 million legacy liability to Smithline | |
| ● | Restructured approximately $3.5 million of legacy PIK note debt to preferred stock |
We remain optimistic in our operating subsidiaries and are looking intently at augmenting organic growth with acquisitions. In connection with the Company’s acquisition strategy, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, FOXO Acquisition Corporation (“FAC”), that intends to serve as vehicle to make acquisitions and created a new series of preferred stock designated as Series E Cumulative Redeemable Secured Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”). The Series E Preferred Stock is not convertible to common stock, is secured by the equity of FAC, has a 2.5% per annum cash dividend and a 5% per annum common stock dividend. Our most recent acquisition, Vector BioSource, Inc., was acquired using the FAC subsidiary and a portion of the acquisition consideration was in the form of Series E Preferred Stock. We intend to list our Series E Preferred Stock with its own trading symbol; however, an eventual listing is not a certainty.
After losing the NYSE American listing of our common stock in the third quarter of 2025 because our minimum share price did not meet the continued listing requirements for NYSE American, we continue to consider options to uplist our common stock to NYSE American or another recognized stock exchange; however, there is no certainty of an eventual uplist. We hope this can be achieved in 2026.
Sincerely,
Seamus Lagan
Chief Executive Officer
