Item 1.01. Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
(a) On May 15, 2008, we entered into
credit agreement amendments with the participating lenders in our $155 million
senior secured credit facility, which was agented for us by Bank of America,
N.A. and put in place on August 8, 2007 in connection with our acquisition
of Alta Healthcare System, Inc. (Alta). A summary of the terms of the
amendments is set forth in Item 2.04(a) of this report and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 2.04
Triggering Events That Accelerate or
Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement
(a) On May 15, 2008, we and our
lenders signed amendments to the credit agreements for our $155 million senior
secured credit facility. The amendments include waivers of existing events of default
under the credit agreements and revisions of certain financial covenants and
other provisions of the credit agreements.
Waivers of Events of Default
The amendments provided
for waivers of the following existing events of default:
·
Our failure to deliver to the lenders and
their administrative agent certain financial statements, reports, information,
accountants certificates and compliance certificates by the January 28,
2008 and February 14, 2008 deadlines under the credit agreements.
·
Our failure to comply with a financial
covenant not to exceed a maximum senior debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.75 to 1.00
(first lien debt) and 4.00 to 1.00 (second lien debt) for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007 and for each of the quarters ended December 31,
2007 and March 31, 2008. The actual senior debt/EBITDA ratio at each of
those dates will be finalized and disclosed when we file our Form 10-K and
10-Q reports for those periods, but our preliminary calculation of the ratio at
each of those dates is 4.46 to 1.00, 6.38 to 1.00, and 5.39 to 1.00.
·
Our failure to comply with a financial
covenant to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to
1.00 (first lien debt) as of the four quarters ended December 31, 2007 and
March 31, 2008, and 1.10 to 1.00 (second lien debt) as of the four
quarters ended December 31, 2007. The actual fixed charge coverage ratio
for each of those periods will be finalized and disclosed in our Form 10-Q
reports for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008,
but our preliminary calculation of the ratio for each of those periods is 0.97
to 1.00 and 1.13 to 1.00.
·
A cross default under the first lien
credit agreement with respect to the swap contract hedging interest rate
exposure for our term loans.
·
Our failure to satisfy certain
affirmative covenants regarding delivery of certain required materials to the
lenders, including our annual proxy statement, summary of insurance coverage,
quarterly reports on capitated contracts, monthly claims lag analysis,
actuarial reports and disclosure of debt ratings change or possible change.
·
Our failure to maintain the good standing
of some of our corporate entities. All such entities had renewed their good
standing as of the date of the amendment.
2
Revisions to No-Call Provisions
The
amendments included adjustments to the no-call provisions in the second lien
credit agreement, including a reset of the beginning of the no-call period from
August 8, 2007 to December 8, 2007.
Revision to Financial Covenant Requiring Maximum
Senior Debt/EBITDA Ratio
The covenants setting a
maximum consolidated senior debt/EBITDA ratio were revised, as shown in the
tables below, to increase the permitted ratios in the first lien and second
lien credit agreement amendments. The permitted ratio as of any period end may
not be greater than the ratio set forth below opposite such period.

Changes to Revolving Credit Facility
The maximum amount
available to us under the revolving credit facility of the first lien credit
agreement was reduced by amendment from $10 million to $7.25 million. In addition,
following the effective date of the amendment to the first lien credit
agreement, we are entitled to make only one request for a revolving credit loan
unless the lenders, in their sole discretion, consent in writing to provide
further revolving credit loans.
Fees Paid at Signing of the Amendments
In addition to any
amounts previously paid or owing to the lenders, we were required to pay to the
lenders an amendment fee in cash in the amount of $756,805.56 at the signing of
the amendments. We were also required to pay an additional $190,480.93 in legal
fees and consulting costs of the lenders in connection with the amendments.
Additionally, the
amendments required that a 1% PIK fee be added to the outstanding principal of
the revolving credit loans and term loans, as applicable, on the effective date
of the amendment. This PIK amount totaled $1,513,611.10.
We paid Administrative
Agency annual fees to Bank of America in the prorated amount of $11,749 for the
period from May 15, 2008 to August 8, 2008, reflecting a temporary
increase in the annual fee from $75,000 to $125,000. The Administrative Agency
annual fee will revert back to $75,000 on August 8, 2009. We also paid
costs of $5,071.28 to Banc of America Securities.
Provisions Regarding Deleveraging
The
amendments require us to take steps to reduce the amount of our outstanding
indebtedness, and in that regard, as previously disclosed in a Form 8-K
filed on April 30, 2008, we have signed an agreement to sell all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Sierra Medical Management, Inc. to Greater
Midwest, a Nevada corporation, and of Sierra Primary Care Medical Group, A
Medical Corporation, Antelope Valley Medical Associates, Inc. and Pegasus
Medical Group, Inc. to Sierra Medical Group Holding Company, Inc., a
California professional corporation. The lenders have consented to such sale,
subject to our meeting certain conditions, including the requirement that the
net cash proceeds from the sale be in an amount equal to at least $7 million
and that 100% of the net cash proceeds be applied toward the prepayment of the
term loans under our first lien credit agreement.

Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or
Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of
Listing
(a) On May 16, 2008 we received a
letter from the American Stock Exchange because we did not file our Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 by the May 15, 2008 deadline.
The letter noted that the timely filing of such reports is a condition for our
continued listing on the Exchange, as required by Sections 134 and 1101 of the
Amex Company Guide. The letter stated that our failure to file the report on
time is a material violation of our listing agreement with the Exchange. As a
result, we remain subject to the continued listing procedures and requirements
in Section 1009 of the Company Guide, and trading in our common stock will
remain halted until all of our SEC filings are up-to-date.
We
have previously submitted a plan to the Exchange setting forth our expected
timetable for filing our fiscal 2007 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended December 31, 2007, and our Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008. The Exchanges May 16 letter did not require us
to submit an additional plan of compliance in relation to our March 31,
2008 Form 10-Q. As previously disclosed, we continue to expect to file our
fiscal 2007 Form 10-K by the end of May 2008, and our first and
second quarter 2008 Form 10-Q filings shortly thereafter, with full
completion of all filings expected on or before June 16, 2008.
The
Exchanges letter reiterated that if we are not in compliance with the Exchanges
continued listing standards by July 28, 2008, or do not make progress
consistent with our plan to regain compliance during the plan period, the staff
of the Exchange may initiate delisting proceedings.
