GNOW American CareSource Holdings Inc (CE)

American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNOW), an urgent and primary care company operating under the name GoNow Doctors (“GoNow”), announced today that it has entered into a development arrangement with Birmingham-based commercial real estate firm, Harbert Realty Services (“Harbert”), to build and develop up to 10 de novo GoNow Doctors locations throughout Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida over the next 12 months.

A letter agreement between GoNow and Harbert provides that Harbert, with limited exceptions, will be the exclusive real estate developer, broker and construction manager for up to 10 new GoNow locations over the upcoming 12 months. Harbert will, among other things, offer “build-to-suit” developments whereby Harbert will finance the upfront costs of acquiring land and constructing a new facility according to GoNow’s plans and specifications in exchange for GoNow’s entry into a long-term lease.  GoNow will be Harbert’s preferred urgent care and family medicine tenant, granting it preferential rights regarding new and existing retail developments.

Adam Winger, President and Chief Executive Officer of GoNow, commented, “Our relationship with Harbert Realty Services provides an exciting catalyst for the acceleration of our strategic growth in the urgent care market. With this partnership, we now have the ability to expand our urgent care footprint without incurring the upfront capital costs relating to the development of new centers.”  James Proctor, Vice President of Harbert, added, “GoNow Doctors’ community-based, walk-in medical centers are a natural fit for our development projects and we look forward to a long relationship with them.”

The letter agreement establishes a framework for collaboration between GoNow and Harbert. The letter of agreement is non-binding and only expresses the basic terms and conditions that the parties presently intend, subject to mutual agreement of the terms of each development. The letter agreement will expire on March 14, 2017.
