Subject: RadNet/DeepHealth announce intent to acquire iCAD to accelerate AI-powered early detection and diagnosis of Breast cancer
Dear [Name],
RadNet (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in diagnostic imaging services and digital health solutions has announced the intent to acquire Nasdaq-listed, AI-powered breast health solutions company – iCAD – to become part of DeepHealth, a global leader in AI-powered health informatics. Under the terms of the merger agreement, iCAD stockholders will receive 0.0677 shares of RadNet common stock for each share of iCAD common stock they hold at the closing of the merger. Based upon RadNet’s closing price on Monday, April 14, 2025, this represents a transaction value of approximately $103 million, or approximately $3.61 per share of iCAD common stock on a fully diluted basis, or an approximately 98% premium to iCAD stockholders based on iCAD’s closing stock price on Monday, April 14, 2025. Please see the full press release below.
Every 14 seconds, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide. This acquisition will unite complementary leading AI-powered cancer detection and workflow solutions focused on improving the accuracy and early detection of breast cancer.
The transaction would enable DeepHealth to expand access to 10 million mammograms annually (up from 1.9 million) and over an additional 1,500 healthcare provider locations across 50 countries leveraging iCAD’s AI solutions. With a seasoned commercial and engineering team expected to join RadNet’s wholly owned subsidiary DeepHealth, the combination is expected to accelerate DeepHealth’s growth and global leadership in breast cancer screening.
Both Dr. Howard Berger (CEO of RadNet) and Kees Wesdorp (CEO of DeepHealth) are available to speak with you.
Patient case studies and spokespeople are also available.

Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of RadNet’s and iCAD’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of RadNet’s and iCAD’s control. RadNet’s, iCAD’s and RadNet’s actual results and financial condition following the proposed transaction may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. None of RadNet, iCAD or any of their respective directors, executive officers, or advisors, provide any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements will actually occur, or if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on the business, results of operations or financial condition of RadNet or iCAD. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on RadNet’s and iCAD’s businesses, the proposed transaction and the ability to successfully complete the proposed transaction and realize its expected benefits. Risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ from expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the termination of or occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement or the inability to complete the proposed transaction on the anticipated terms and timetable, (2) the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of iCAD or to satisfy any other condition to closing in a timely manner or at all, or the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed transaction is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated, (3) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, the ability of RadNet or iCAD to maintain relationships with its customers, patients, payers, physicians, and providers and retain its management and key employees, (4) the ability of RadNet following the proposed transaction to achieve the synergies contemplated by the proposed transaction or such synergies taking longer to realize than expected, (5) costs related to the proposed transaction, (6) the ability of RadNet following the proposed transaction to execute successfully its strategic plans, (7) the ability of RadNet following the proposed transaction to promptly and effectively integrate iCAD into its business, (8) the risk of litigation related to the proposed transaction, (9) the diversion of management’s time and attention from ordinary course business operations to completion of the proposed transaction and integration matters, (10) the risk of legislative, regulatory, economic, competitive, and technological changes, (11) risks relating to the value of RadNet’s securities to be issued in the proposed merger, and (12) the effect of the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed transactions on the market price of the common stock of each of RadNet and iCAD.
