Introductory Note

On October 11, 2018 (the “ Closing Date ”), Envision Healthcare Corporation (the “ Company ”) completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), dated as of June 10, 2018, by and among Enterprise Parent Holdings Inc. (“ Parent ”), Enterprise Merger Sub Inc. (“ Merger Sub ”) and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is controlled by investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“ KKR ”). The terms “Borrower” and “Issuer” refer to Merger Sub prior to the Merger and the Company after the Merger.

 

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

First Lien Credit Facilities

In connection with the Merger, Merger Sub entered into the First Lien Credit Facilities (as defined below) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and other agents and lenders party thereto, consisting of:

 

  •  

a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “ New Revolving Credit Facility ”); and

 

  •  

a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5,450.0 million (the “ New Term Loan Facility ” and together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the “ First Lien Credit Facilities ”).

The First Lien Credit Facilities also provide for incremental term loan or revolving credit facilities.

The loans under the First Lien Credit Facilities bear interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Borrower’s option, either (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% or (b) a LIBOR rate that is subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor. The Borrower will pay commitment fees on the unutilized commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

The New Term Loan Facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date and the New Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

Outstanding term loans under the New Term Loan Facility are subject to mandatory prepayments with specified excess cash flows and the net cash proceeds of specified asset sales and other dispositions of property and of specified incurrence of debt.

The New Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loans under the New Term Loan Facility, commencing one full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date.

The obligations of the borrower under the First Lien Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and by each of the Borrower’s direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. Such obligations and the related guarantees will be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets and capital stock owned by us or by any guarantor, in each case subject to permitted liens and certain customary exceptions; provided, that certain portions of the collateral (the “ New ABL Priority Collateral ”) will secure the obligations under the First Lien Credit Facilities on a second priority basis.

The First Lien Credit Facilities contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities. The New Revolving Credit Facility also contains a springing financial covenant requiring net first lien secured leverage ratio not to exceed a specified level over the life of the New Revolving Credit Facility, which will be tested only if the outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility exceed a specified threshold.

New ABL Facility

In connection with the Merger, Merger Sub entered into a five year asset-based revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $550.0 million (the “ New ABL Facility ” and together with the First Lien Credit Facilities, the “ New Credit Facilities ”), subject to borrowing base availability, and includes letter of credit and swingline sub-facilities. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Borrower is entitled to request additional revolving credit commitments under the New ABL Facility, which share in the borrowing base, up to an amount such that the aggregate amount of New ABL Facility commitments does not exceed $1.0 billion.

The loans under the New ABL Facility bear interest a rate equal to an applicable margin (which shall be determined based on the average historical excess availability (as defined in the credit agreement governing the New ABL Facility)) plus, at the Borrower’s option, either (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate that is subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR that is subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor plus 1.0% or (b) a LIBOR rate that is subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor. The Borrower will pay commitment fees on the unutilized commitments under the New ABL Facility.

The Borrower will be required to make mandatory prepayments if the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit exceed the maximum permitted amount under the New ABL Facility.

The New ABL Facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The New ABL Facility will be subject to the same guarantees and security as the First Lien Credit Facilities, except that the obligations under the New ABL Facility will be secured on a first priority basis with respect to the New ABL Priority Collateral and on a second lien basis with respect to all other collateral securing the First Lien Credit Facilities.

The New ABL Facility contains negative and affirmative covenants and events of default customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities. The New ABL Facility also contains a springing financial covenant requiring the fixed charge coverage ratio not to exceed 1.0 to 1.0, which will be tested only if excess availability (to be defined in the credit agreement governing the New ABL Facility) under the New ABL Facility is less than a specified threshold for a specified period of time.

Private Placement Notes due 2026

On the Closing Date, Merger Sub issued $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of privately placed senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “ Private Placement Notes ”) to a third-party purchaser.

The Private Placement Notes will mature on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Private Placement Notes bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Issuer’s option, either (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% or (b) a LIBOR rate that is subject to a 0.0% interest rate floor.

The Private Placement Notes are subject to mandatory redemptions with the net cash proceeds of specified asset sales and other dispositions of property and of specified incurrence of debt. The Issuer may voluntarily redeem the Private Placement Notes at any time at the redemption prices specified in the document governing the Private Placement Notes.

The Private Placement Notes contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default, substantially similar to the New Term Loan Facility.

8.75% Senior Notes due 2026

On the Closing Date, Merger Sub issued $1,225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior notes due 2026 (the “ Senior Notes ”), which mature on October 15, 2026.

The Senior Notes are and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Issuer’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees the New Credit Facilities or certain capital markets indebtedness of the Issuer or any other guarantor.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contain customary negative covenants, event of default, optional redemption and repurchase provisions.

Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company repaid in full all amounts outstanding under (1) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “ Existing Term Credit Agreement ”), among the Company, the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other parties from time to time party thereto and (2) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “ Existing ABL Credit Agreement ” and, together with the Existing Term Credit Agreement, the “ Existing Credit Agreements ”), among the Company, the lenders named therein, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other parties from time to time party thereto and, in each case, terminated such Existing Credit Agreements in accordance with their terms.
