ProPhase Labs Provides Update on Convertible Debt Conversions, Capital Structure, and Underlying Asset Value

01/05/2026 05:00 AM • ProPhase Labs reported that over $3.3 million of its $3.8 million convertible debt has been converted into equity, reducing liabilities and strengthening the balance sheet.

Management believes current market capitalization undervalues core assets including Crown Medical receivables recovery, BE-Smart Esophageal Cancer diagnostic test, and Nebula Genomics/DNA Complete.
