Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

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.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Certain statements and information in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the Company’s objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.

Any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future


performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments, and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, as well the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include the effects of economic conditions on the Company’s business; the effects of the Affordable Care Act and potential changes thereto or a repeal thereof; the Company’s relationships with government-sponsored or funded healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and with managed care organizations and commercial health insurance payors; the Company’s ability to consummate the Transaction; the performance of MedData subsequent to the closing of the Transaction; the timing and contribution of future acquisitions; the effects of share repurchases; and the effects of the Company’s shared services and operational initiatives.
