HealthWarehouse.com To Hire Investment Banker To Maximize Shareholder Value
Company Looks To Take Advantage of Current Healthcare Consolidation Trends

(CINCINNATI, OH, August 8, 2016) -- -HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (OTCQB: HEWA), the only VIPPS & Vet--VIPPS accredited online pharmacy licensed in all 50 states, today announced that it intends to hire an investment banking firm to explore all strategic options to maximize shareholder value, including a strategic partnership with a larger, well-capitalized entity or sale of the Company. Multiple parties have expressed interest in merging with or acquiring the Company, and the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of all shareholders to hire an investment banker to evaluate the board's options to maximize shareholder value.
The Company has made significant progress in improving its balance sheet, increasing gross profit margins and growing sales, and the Company is now operating at breakeven quarterly cash flow. This progress along with positive national media coverage has created further interest in the Company from consumers and outside parties alike as HealthWarehouse.com remains the only VIPPS & Vet--VIPPS accredited online pharmacy licensed in all 50 states, focused on the $80 billion cash prescription market.
"To capitalize on current interest in the Company and consolidation trends in the healthcare industry, the Board of Directors remains committed to objectively considering all avenues that may enhance our ability to maximize shareholder value. Our decision to begin this process is consistent with our commitment to our shareholders and will allow interested parties to fully understand the significant value of HealthWarehouse.com and the enormous potential of the Company," said Lalit Dhadphale, Chairman, co-founder, President and CEO of HealthWarehouse.com.
