Reduces Waystar’s cost of capital and enhances its ability to allocate free cash flow towards growth initiatives

LEHI, Utah and LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Waystar Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: WAY), a provider of leading healthcare payment software, today announced that it has entered into an amendment to its first lien credit agreement (the “amended credit agreement”) with its lenders to reprice term loans. Under the terms of the amended credit agreement, the term loan borrowings will now carry a reduced interest rate of adjusted SOFR +2.75%, compared to the previous interest rate of adjusted SOFR +4.00%. The amended credit agreement is expected to reduce Waystar’s cost of borrowing and allow for interest expense savings.

This action follows Waystar’s initial public offering on June 7, 2024, with the net proceeds used to reduce debt. Following the offering, Fitch Ratings upgraded Waystar’s long-term issuer default rating to ‘BB’ from ‘B’ with a positive outlook. Moody’s Ratings upgraded Waystar’s senior secured rating to ‘B1’ from ‘B3’ with a stable outlook, and S&P Global Ratings upgraded Waystar’s issuer credit rating to ‘B+’ from ‘B-‘ with a stable outlook. In announcing these upgrades, the rating agencies cited significant deleveraging, strong operating performance, continued growth momentum, and consistent free cash flow generation.

“We are pleased to be repricing at a more favorable rate, reflecting continued momentum following our initial public offering,” said Matt Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of Waystar. “We believe that the rating upgrades from Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P underscore our ongoing commitment to strengthening our balance sheet and our strong growth outlook. Looking ahead, we expect our durable recurring revenue model, attractive margin profile, and robust free cash flow generation will enable us to prioritize continued deleveraging while investing in our platform for growth.”

Additional information about the terms of the amended credit agreement is set forth in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Waystar with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2024, which is available on the investor relations page of Waystar’s website at investors.waystar.com.

Franchise Owner Matt Hess Debuts First of Five Greater Charlotte Locations as 24/7 Indoor Golf Concept Surpasses 75 Territories Sold

CINCINNATI, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Another Nine, the 24/7 self-service indoor golf concept powered by proprietary A9OS technology and Trackman gameplay, is celebrating the opening of its first franchise location in Cornelius, North Carolina, as the brand moves from a breakout first year of franchise sales into a new phase of unit growth.

Located in the Lake Norman area, the new Cornelius facility is owned and operated by Matt Hess, Another Nine’s first franchise owner. It is the first of five locations Hess will open across the greater Charlotte area. The brand has 12 locations planned throughout the Charlotte metro, making the market the first fully sold-out region in Another Nine’s franchise network.

First Franchise Opening Anchors Charlotte Expansion

The Cornelius opening marks Another Nine’s first franchise location and gives the brand an early foothold in one of North Carolina’s most active suburban markets. With Charlotte sold out, the brand has laid the foundation for a multi-unit growth strategy built around local operators, streamlined operations, and demand for flexible, private indoor golf access.

“Cornelius was the right place to begin because Lake Norman is home for me, and the community has been supportive from the start,” said Hess. “Another Nine makes it easy for people to play on their own schedule, whether they want to practice after the kids go to bed, get in a round before work, or step into a private suite between calls. The founders have built a smart model with strong technology and real support behind it. I am proud to open the first of my five locations here and help introduce Another Nine to the Charlotte market.”

A New Era of Growth for Another Nine

The first franchise opening follows a year of momentum for Another Nine, which has surpassed 75 franchise territories sold in its inaugural year of franchising. The company currently operates two corporate locations in Cincinnati, Columbia-Tusculum, and Montgomery, and is now focused on converting its early franchise traction into open facilities across targeted growth regions.

As Another Nine continues expansion, the brand is placing a particular priority on the Midwest and Northeast, where dense suburban markets, year-round golf demand, and access to multi-unit operators align with its membership-free, technology-driven model.

“The Cornelius opening is a defining moment for Another Nine because it shows what this model can become with the right franchise partner in the right market,” said Ethan Grob, Co-Founder of Another Nine. “Matt understands the guest experience, the Charlotte community and the growth opportunity ahead. As we enter this next stage, our priority is to support owners like Matt while expanding thoughtfully in markets where golfers are looking for premium, flexible access to the game.”

A 24/7 Indoor Golf Model Built for Guests and Operators

Each Another Nine facility features all-private Sim Suites available around the clock through the brand’s A9OS booking platform. Guests can reserve a suite by the hour, any time of day or night, and play Trackman-powered golf across more than 350 world-class courses without a membership requirement.

The model is also designed to give franchise owners a streamlined operating structure. Without a bar or restaurant component and with technology supporting booking, access, and guest support, Another Nine locations are built to operate with a leaner footprint than many entertainment concepts.

Guests can expect:

Private Sim Suites available 24/7Hourly reservations with no membership requiredTrackman gameplay across more than 350 coursesProprietary A9OS technology for booking, access and supportA flexible setting for practice, casual rounds, small groups and late-night play

QC Healthcare Launches as a Healthcare Innovation Holding Company Focused on Telehealth, Clinical Research, Pharmacy Services, Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare Analytics, and Population Health

New Organization Establishes a Strategic Platform for a Growing Portfolio of Healthcare 
Companies Designed to Improve Access, Outcomes, Innovation, and Healthcare Connectivity Across the United States and Globally

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and ATLANTA, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QC Healthcare today announced its official launch as a healthcare innovation holding company focused on building, funding, acquiring, and scaling digital health businesses that improve access to care, advance healthcare delivery, and create measurable improvements in patient outcomes.

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with executive leadership and operations spanning Atlanta, Georgia, QC Healthcare has been established as the parent organization for a growing portfolio of healthtech companies operating across telehealth, specialty care, clinical research, pharmacy services, healthcare technology, health AI, healthcare analytics, population health, and healthcare innovation.

The company is led by healthcare executive, entrepreneur, and commercialization leader Eric Doherty, who serves as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of QC Healthcare. Doherty is widely recognized for his work in healthcare commercialization, business transformation, healthcare access initiatives, artificial intelligence in healthcare, population health, specialty pharmacy, and digital health innovation.

“Healthcare is entering one of the most transformational periods in its history,” said Doherty. “The convergence of telehealth, artificial intelligence, clinical research, healthcare analytics, pharmacy services, remote diagnostics, and population health is creating opportunities to fundamentally improve how care is delivered. QC Healthcare was established to bring these capabilities together under one strategic platform capable of creating meaningful improvements in access, outcomes, efficiency, and innovation.”

Building an Integrated Healthcare Ecosystem

Unlike traditional healthcare organizations focused on a single service line, QC Healthcare is a diversified holding company designed to support multiple sectors across the healthcare ecosystem.
The organization’s first operating company is My Pediatric Doctor, a national pediatric telehealth company dedicated to providing families with convenient access to board-certified pediatric healthcare services.

Building on that foundation, QC Healthcare is developing a family of interconnected healthcare brands designed to address patient care needs across multiple populations and clinical specialties. Planned and future healthcare platforms include:

My Adult DoctorMy VA DoctorMy Vet DoctorMy Oncology DoctorAdditional specialty-focused healthcare brands

The company’s vision is to create a unified healthcare ecosystem where patients can access specialized clinical care through technology-enabled care delivery models while benefiting from shared infrastructure, care coordination, healthcare analytics, and AI-driven support tools.

Supporting Veterans and Military Families

Among QC Healthcare’s planned initiatives is a dedicated healthcare platform focused on serving veterans, military families, reservists, National Guard members, active-duty personnel, and retired service members.

The company recognizes the unique healthcare challenges faced by veterans and military families, including continuity of care, chronic disease management, behavioral health support, specialty care access, and healthcare navigation.

QC Healthcare also intends to explore opportunities to support retired military personnel and veterans living internationally. Many veterans choose to reside abroad following military service, often creating challenges related to healthcare access and care coordination. Through telehealth, digital health technologies, and strategic partnerships, the organization hopes to create solutions that improve healthcare accessibility regardless of where veterans and their families reside.

Expanding Specialty-Based Healthcare Access

Beyond primary care and pediatric services, QC Healthcare plans to develop specialty-focused healthcare platforms addressing areas such as oncology, cardiology, chronic disease management, preventive care, women’s health, men’s health, and other high-demand clinical specialties. Technology-enabled specialty care can help reduce barriers to healthcare access while improving patient engagement, continuity of care, and long-term outcomes.

Advancing Animal Health Innovation

QC Healthcare also sees significant opportunities within animal health. Planned initiatives will explore innovative approaches to veterinary telehealth, preventive care, wellness programs, specialist access, rural veterinary support, livestock health initiatives, and technology-enabled animal healthcare services — applying the same innovation principles transforming human healthcare to improve access, efficiency, and outcomes across animal health markets.

Clinical Research, Pharmacy, and Healthcare Innovation

QC Healthcare is evaluating opportunities to establish businesses focused on clinical research, decentralized clinical trials, patient recruitment, healthcare outcomes analysis, and real-world evidence generation. Technology-enabled research models can improve patient participation, accelerate innovation, and create more representative research populations.

QC Healthcare is also exploring future pharmacy ventures that may include specialty pharmacy services, medication adherence programs, patient support services, care coordination, and innovative medication management solutions designed to improve patient outcomes and treatment compliance. These initiatives complement the company’s broader mission of connecting care delivery, research, technology, and patient engagement across the healthcare continuum.

Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Population Health

A core pillar of QC Healthcare’s strategy involves leveraging health AI and healthcare data to improve decision-making and patient outcomes. Areas of strategic interest include:

Predictive healthcare analyticsPopulation health managementHealthcare intelligence platformsClinical decision supportRemote patient monitoringOutcomes measurementDisease management analyticsCare gap identificationAI-enabled workflow optimizationHealthcare interoperability solutions

“Artificial intelligence should empower healthcare professionals, not replace them,” Doherty said. “The goal is to provide better insights, improve clinical decision-making, strengthen patient engagement, and help health systems operate more effectively.”

Commitment to Rural Health and Underserved Communities

A cornerstone of QC Healthcare’s mission is improving healthcare access for underserved populations. The company intends to pursue partnerships and programs focused on supporting: 

Rural communitiesMedically underserved populationsNative American and Tribal communitiesVeterans and military familiesInternational populations with limited healthcare accessCommunities experiencing provider shortages

Potential initiatives may include telehealth expansion, remote diagnostics, healthcare workforce support, school-based healthcare programs, community partnerships, and advanced connectivity solutions designed to bring healthcare services to regions where access remains limited. QC Healthcare also recognizes the growing role of emerging technologies — including satellite-based connectivity and remote healthcare infrastructure — in addressing healthcare disparities in rural and underserved regions.

National and International Vision

While initially focused on the United States, QC Healthcare has been established with a global vision. The organization plans to explore international opportunities involving telehealth, healthcare technology deployment, clinical research collaborations, healthcare workforce development, healthcare analytics, population health programs, and innovative healthcare delivery models.

The company expects to collaborate with healthcare systems, hospitals, physician groups, employers, life sciences organizations, academic institutions, technology companies, and public-private partnerships that share a commitment to improving healthcare access and outcomes. QC Healthcare also plans to engage with stakeholders involved in healthcare modernization, workforce development, rural health initiatives, and public health efforts — including potential collaborations with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and strategic healthcare partners.

“Our vision is significantly larger than telehealth alone,” Doherty concluded. “We are building a healthcare platform that connects patients, providers, researchers, healthcare systems, employers, life sciences organizations, government stakeholders, and innovators through integrated healthcare solutions. Whether through virtual care, clinical research, pharmacy services, artificial intelligence, healthcare analytics, specialty care, population health, or future healthcare technologies, our mission is to improve lives and help shape the future of healthcare.”

As QC Healthcare expands its portfolio, the company expects to announce additional operating companies, strategic partnerships, healthcare technology initiatives, acquisitions, research collaborations, and growth investments throughout the coming year.
