Item 7.01. Regulation
FD Disclosure.
In
connection with the notes offering by Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (the Company)
pursuant to the Offering Memorandum described below, certain information
contained in the Offering Memorandum is hereby provided pursuant to Item 7.01
of this Form 8-K and is attached and incorporated herein by reference as
Exhibit 99.5.
The
information in this Item 7.01 and the document attached as Exhibit 99.5 are
being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In a press release issued
on July 8, 2009, the Company
has announced its plans to offer senior
secured notes to qualified institutional investors in an offering exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation
S, promulgated under the Securities Act.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The notes will not be registered under the
Securities Act. Therefore, unless they
are subsequently registered, they may not be offered or sold in the United
States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. Neither this Form 8-K
nor the press release will constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy, nor will there be any sale of the notes in any state in which
an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
The notes offering will
be reflected in
an offering memorandum (the Offering
Memorandum) prepared by the Company.
The principal intended use
of
the proceeds of the debt
issuance will be the repayment of the Companys current credit facilities
represented by a First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of August 8, 2007, as
amended, a Second Lien Credit Agreement dated as of August 8, 2007, as amended,
and certain related agreements (collectively, the Existing Loan Agreements),
all of which were entered into by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A.,
as initial administrative agent, and certain lenders parties thereto.
The Company filed its fiscal year 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K
(the 2008 10-K) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission)
on December 29, 2008. Included
within the 2008 10-K are the consolidated financial statements of the Company
as of and for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (the Audited
Financials) as audited by the independent registered public accounting firms
of BDO Seidman, LLP and Ernst & Young LLP (together, the Auditors),
respectively, each of which had served as the independent registered public
accounting firm for the Company during a portion of the preceding two
years. Also included within the 2008
10-K are the Auditors reports on the Companys consolidated financial
statements (the Auditor Opinions).
The Company has requested that the Auditors consent to the
Companys inclusion and/or through incorporation by reference, in the Offering
Memorandum of the Audited Financials and Auditor Opinions. However, due to events that have occurred
subsequent to the filing of the 2008 10-K that significantly affect the Companys
working capital, as discussed below, the Audited Financials and Auditor Opinion
for the year ended September 30, 2008 will only be included and/or
incorporated into the Offering Memorandum after they have been updated as
described in this Form 8-K.
Therefore, in the Offering Memorandum, the Company will include, or
incorporate by reference, this Form 8-K and the updates set forth herein
whenever the Company includes, or incorporates by reference, the Audited
Financials or the Auditor Opinions.
Subsequent to the filing of the 2008 10-K, the Company
received certain notices of alleged non-monetary defaults under the Existing
Loan Agreements. Such notices, which
were received after the filing of the 2008 10-K, are described in the Companys
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 25,
2009, the amendments of that report pursuant to the Form 8-K/A filed with
the Commission on April 3, 2009 and the Form 8-K/A filed with the
Commission on June 12, 2009, and the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Commission on April 23, 2009. While the Company continued to strongly
dispute its lenders characterization of the alleged non-monetary defaults, the
parties engaged in discussions that led to the temporary resolution reflected
in the Fourth Amendment and Waiver to the First Lien Credit Agreement and the
Fourth Amendment and Waiver to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, each dated as
of June 30, 2009. In the
amendments, which are further described in a separate Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Commission on June 30, 2009, the lenders under the Existing
Loan Agreements waived all of the alleged events of default. However, the amendments also require the
Company to repay the existing credit facilities in full by October 31,
2009. Failure to do so will constitute
an event of default, which could negatively impact the Companys liquidity and
ability to operate, and raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to
continue as a going concern.
The remainder of this Form 8-K sets forth the above
mentioned updates. Solely for the
purpose of its incorporation into the Offering Memorandum (as well as any
registration statement or other document that specifically includes, or
incorporates by reference, this Form 8-K and the updates set forth herein), the
following Risk Factor is added to Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the
2008 10-K:
Our consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis.
Our consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and settlement of obligations in the normal course of
business. As of March 31, 2009, we
have a working capital deficit of
1
$126.2 million. On March 19,
2009, we received notices from our lenders asserting that we were in default of
a requirement to sell certain assets by a specified date. Additionally, on April 17, 2009, we
received notices from our lenders asserting that our April 14, 2009
increase in ownership of Brotman Medical Center, Inc. violated certain
provisions of our amended credit agreements.
Based on such notices of default, we have classified all amounts due
under the credit agreements as current, due on demand at March 31,
2009. Also, due to cross default
provisions, the swap liability under our interest rate swap agreements was
classified as current at March 31, 2009.
Our lenders began assessing default interest (additional 2% per annum)
effective with the first asserted event of default as of March 19,
2009. We contested the asserted events
of default and engaged in discussions that led to the amendments to the credit
agreements. On June 30, 2009, we entered
into the Fourth Amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Fourth
Amendment to the Second Lien Credit
Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the lenders agreed to waive certain
alleged events of default, including the alleged events of default specified
above and agreed that all borrowings under the credit agreements would accrue
interest specified above and agreed that all borrowings under the credit
agreements would accrue interest at the base rate set forth in the credit
agreements instead of at the default rates.
In connection with these amendments, we also entered into an amendment
and waiver related to our swap agreements which provide that the alleged events
of default under the credit agreements will not trigger an event of default
under the swap agreements. The
amendments provide that we must refinance the existing credit facilities no
later than October 31, 2009. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our obligations under the
existing credit facilities prior to October 31, 2009. If we are unable to
obtain new financing prior to October 31, 2009, our lenders could require full
repayment of the loans and settlement of the swap liability, which would
negatively impact our liquidity, our ability to operate and raises substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In Part II, Item 7 (Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of the 2008 10-K,
solely for the purpose of its incorporation into the Offering Memorandum (as
well as any registration statement or other document that specifically
includes, or incorporates by reference, this Form 8-K and the updates set forth
herein), the following language is added to the section entitled Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Overview:
Our consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and settlement of obligations in the normal course of
business. As of March 31, 2009, we
had a working capital deficit of $126.2 million. On March 19, 2009, we received notices
from our lenders asserting that we were in default of a requirement to sell
certain assets by a specified date.
Additionally, on April 17, 2009, we received notices from our
lenders asserting that our April 14, 2009 increase in ownership of Brotman
Medical Center, Inc. violated certain provisions of our amended credit
agreements. Based on such notices of
default, we classified all amounts due under the credit agreements as current,
due on demand at March 31, 2009.
Also, due to cross default provisions, the swap liability under our
interest rate swap agreements was classified as current at March 31,
2009. Our lenders began assessing
default interest (additional 2% per annum) effective with the first asserted
event of default on March 19, 2009.
We contested the asserted events of default and engaged in discussions
that led to the amendments to the credit agreements. On June 30, 2009, we entered into the Fourth
Amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Fourth Amendment to the
Second Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the lenders
agreed to waive certain alleged events of default, including the alleged events
of default specified above and agreed that all borrowings under the existing
credit facilities have ceased incurring interest at default rates and are now
accruing interest at the base rate set forth in the amended credit agreements. In connection with these amendments, we also
entered into an amendment and waiver related to our swap agreements which
provide that the alleged events of default under the credit agreements will not
trigger an event of default under the swap agreements. The amendments provide that we must refinance
the existing credit facilities no later than October 31, 2009.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to
refinance our obligations under the existing credit facilities prior to October
31, 2009. If we are unable to obtain new financing prior to October 31, 2009,
our lenders could require full repayment of the loans and settlement of the
swap liability, which would negatively
impact our
liquidity, our ability to operate and raises substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.

In Note 1 (Business) within the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of the 2008 10-K, solely for the purpose of its
incorporation into the Offering Memorandum (as well as any registration
statement or other document that specifically includes, or incorporates by
reference, this Form 8-K and the updates set forth herein), the following
language replaces all of the language following the first paragraph of the
section entitled Liquidity and Recent Operating Results:
Management has implemented a plan to improve the operating
results of the legacy IPA Management operation, including measures to retain
enrollment, increase health plan reimbursement and reduce medical and operating
costs. However, there can be no
assurance that the Companys operational improvement efforts will have a
successful outcome.
As discussed in Note 9, the Company is subject to certain
financial and administrative covenants, cross default provisions and other
conditions required by the credit agreements with its lenders, including a
maximum senior debt/EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and,
effective May 15, 2008, a minimum EBITDA level. While the Company has met all debt service
requirements timely, it did not comply with certain financial and
administrative covenants as of September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007
and March 31, 2008. The Company and
its lenders entered into a series of forbearance agreements and on May 15,
2008, the credit agreements were formally modified to waive past defaults,
amend certain covenant provisions prospectively and make changes to the
interest rates and payment terms. These
changes resulted in a substantial modification to the credit facilities, which
was accounted for as an extinguishment of the existing debt during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, with the modified debt recorded as new debt.
The Company has met all of the May 15, 2008 amended
financial covenant provisions for all subsequent reporting periods and
continues to meet all debt service requirements on a timely basis. However, on March 19, 2009, the Company
received notices from its lenders asserting that the Company was in default of
a requirement to sell certain assets by a specified date. Additionally, on April 17, 2009, the
Company received notices from its lenders asserting that the Companys April 14,
2009 increase in ownership of Brotman Medical Center, Inc. (Brotman) violated certain provisions of
the amended credit agreements. On April 14,
2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court had confirmed and declared the Second Amended
Chapter Plan of Reorganization of Brotman effective. Effective on such date, the Company acquired
an additional 38.86% ownership interest in Brotman, which brought its total
ownership to 71.96%, in exchange for an additional investment of $1.8 million
plus a commitment to invest an additional $0.7 million within six months
thereafter.
Based on such notices of default, the Company has
classified all amounts due under the credit agreements as current, due on
demand at March 31, 2009. Also, due
to cross default provisions, the Companys liability under its interest rate
swap facility was also classified as current at March 31, 2009. The lenders also began assessing default
interest (additional 2% per annum) effective with the first asserted event of
default on March 19, 2009. While
the Company continued to strongly dispute the lenders characterization of the
alleged non-monetary defaults, the Company engaged in discussions that led to
the temporary resolution reflected in the Fourth Amendment to First Lien Credit
Agreement and the Fourth Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement, each dated
as June 30, 2009. In the
amendments, the lenders waived all of the alleged events of default. However, the amendments also require that the
Company repay the existing credit facilities in full by October 31,
2009.
Accordingly, as of September 30, 2008 the debt
amounts due beyond one year and the interest rate swap facility continue to be
classified as noncurrent.
While the Company is currently in negotiations
with certain parties regarding a senior secured debt offering that would
fulfill that requirement, no assurances can be made that the offering will be
successful or that an alternative credit facility will be arranged in time to
meet the repayment deadline. If the
Company fails to
3
meet the deadline, it will be in
default under the credit facilities, which could have a significant negative
impact its liquidity and its ability to operate, and which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Solely for the purpose of its incorporation into the
Offering Memorandum (as well as any registration statement or other document
that specifically includes, or incorporates by reference, this Form 8-K and the
updates set forth herein), the 2008 10-K is further updated by replacing the
Auditor report by BDO Seidman, LLP and each of the consents of the Auditors
that was attached to the 2008 10-K with the audit report by BDO Seidman, LLP
and the Auditors consents that are included within the exhibits to this Form 8-K. Such updated Auditors consents are attached
separately as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto.
Additionally, the entire Financial Statements pages of the 2008
10-K, including such updated Auditor report and the update to Note 1
(Business) immediately above, are attached as a Exhibit 99.4 to this Form 8-K.
