On October 10, 2019, MEDNAX, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), through MEDNAX Services, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MEDNAX Services”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with FH MD Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and affiliate of Frazier Healthcare Partners, pursuant to which Buyer and its parent company will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock (the “Transaction”) of MedData Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“MedData Holding”), and MedDirect Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“MedDirect Holding” and together with MedData Holdings, the “Purchased Companies”). The Purchased Companies constitute the Company’s management services service line, which operates as MedData.
In November 2018, the Company announced the initiation of a process to divest MedData to allow the Company to focus on its core physician services business. In connection with the divestment, the Company classified MedData as discontinued operations beginning in the first quarter of 2019.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Transaction, MEDNAX Services will receive a cash payment of $250 million, subject certain net working capital and similar adjustments, as well as contingent economic consideration in an indirect holding company of Buyer, the value of which is contingent on both short and long-term performance of MedData. The maximum amount payable in respect of such economic consideration is $50 million. In addition, the Company anticipates certain cash tax benefits from the Transaction in the coming quarters. The Company expects to use net proceeds from the Transaction for debt repayment, share repurchases and strategic acquisitions. The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2019.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, including restrictive covenants, and limited indemnifications provisions, including with respect certain ongoing litigation. The Company has agreed to provide certain transition services to MedData after the closing of the Transaction.
In connection with the Transaction, MEDNAX Services and Med-Data, Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MedData Holding, have entered into a long-term Master Services Agreement pursuant to which, effective as of the closing of the Transaction, MedData has agreed to continue to provide certain revenue cycle support services to MEDNAX Services and its subsidiaries and MEDNAX Services has agreed to provide certain minimum volume levels to MedData.
