PLANTATION, Fla,
Feb. 8, 2021 /CNW/ - Akumin Inc.
(NASDAQ: AKU) (TSX: AKU) (the "Issuer"), which in November of 2020
issued and sold $400 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior secured notes due 2025,
announced today that it plans to offer, subject to market and other
conditions, additional senior secured notes in a private offering
(the "Private Offering") that is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). The additional senior secured notes are being
offered as additional notes under the same indenture as the
previously issued $400 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior secured notes due 2025
and will be treated as a single series with such previously issued
senior secured notes.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for
future acquisitions, with any unused proceeds to be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may
include reducing debt.
The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly
and severally, on a senior secured basis by each wholly owned
restricted subsidiary of the Issuer, including professional service
affiliates of the Issuer and the guarantors.
The notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule
144A under the Securities Act and in offshore transactions in
reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and
related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, the guarantees or any
other securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or
sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
is unlawful.
This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
