Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. Announces Purchase of Controlling Interests in Sun Clinical Laboratories

ALHAMBRA, Calif., June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. ("ApolloMed," and together with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMEH), a leading physician-centric, technology-powered healthcare company focused on value-based care, today announced that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Sun Clinical Laboratories ("Sun Labs"), under which ApolloMed will purchase controlling interests in Sun Labs for $4.0 million.

Kenneth Sim, M.D., Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of ApolloMed, stated, "We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with Sun Labs, whereby ApolloMed will serve as the exclusive administrator of all daily business functions of Sun Labs. We look forward to further integrating Sun Labs into our comprehensive care delivery platform, providing a seamless, best-in-class experience for our affiliated physicians and members. As ApolloMed expands its geographic footprint, we see Sun Labs as a core partner in this expansion, growing the business and bringing high-quality lab services to more patients across the nation. We are also incredibly excited about Sun Labs' cutting-edge work in genomic testing, which will add greatly to ApolloMed's commitment to remaining at the forefront of medicine by supporting more personalized cancer care among the communities in which it operates."

Frances Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Sun Labs, stated, "We believe we have found the ideal partner in ApolloMed, which has significant expertise in alleviating the administrative burden of operating various healthcare practices and businesses through its MSOs. For over 40 years, we have provided valuable diagnostic services to the people of the San Gabriel Valley, and we look forward to working closely with the ApolloMed team in improving and growing our business in the months and years to come."
