Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 29, 2009, Prospect
Medical Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), closed the
offering of $160 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.75% senior secured
notes due 2014 (the Notes). The Notes
were issued to certain initial purchasers that are represented by RBC Capital
Markets Corporation and Jefferies & Company, Inc. pursuant to a
Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2009, among the Company, certain
of its subsidiaries and affiliates (as guarantors) and the initial
purchasers. The sale was executed in
accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933
and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, in connection with the issuance of the
Notes, the Company entered into a three-year $15 million revolving senior
secured credit facility which was undrawn at the closing. Royal Bank of Canada will serve as
administrative agent for the revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit
facility will be at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 7.00% with a
floor of 2.00%.
The Company used the net proceeds
from the sale of the Notes to terminate and repay in full (a) the First
Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2007 and amended thereafter,
among the Company, Bank of America, N.A. (as administrative agent) and certain
lenders parties thereto and (b) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as
of August 8, 2007 and amended thereafter, among the Company, SP CA Finance
LLC (as administrative agent) and certain lenders parties thereto. The Company paid a prepayment premium of
approximately $2.6 million under the terminated second lien credit facility. Prior to their termination, on July 23,
2009, the Company entered into fifth amendments to each of the credit
agreements which provided that the Company could terminate its interest rate
swap arrangements under the ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of May 16,
2007 and amended thereafter, by and between Bank of America, N.A. and the
Company. Subsequent to entering into the
amendments, on July 23, 2009, the Company terminated the master swap
agreement and the swap arrangements thereunder.
On July 29, 2009, the Company paid Bank of America, N.A. $11.7
million in final settlement of all amounts owed under the swap arrangements.
The terms of the Notes are governed
by an indenture, dated as of July 29, 2009, among the Company, certain of
its subsidiaries and affiliates (as guarantors) and U.S. Bank National
Association (as trustee) (the Indenture).
Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15,
commencing on January 15, 2010. The
terms of the revolving senior secured credit facility are governed by the
Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2009, among the Company, Royal Bank
of Canada (as administrative agent), Jefferies Finance LLC (as syndication
agent) and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement).
The Notes and the revolving senior
secured credit facility are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior
secured basis by all of the Companys restricted subsidiaries (as such term is
defined in the Indenture) other than Brotman Medical Center, Inc., Nuestra
Familia Medical Group, Inc. and certain immaterial subsidiaries. The Notes are secured pari passu with the new
revolving credit facility on a first priority basis by liens on substantially
all of the Companys assets and the assets of the subsidiary guarantors (other
than accounts receivable and proceeds therefrom) including all the mortgages on
the Company and its subsidiary guarantors hospital properties (but excluding a
pledge of, or mortgage on, the stock, properties or other assets of Brotman Medical
Center, Inc., AMVI/Prospect Health Network and certain immaterial
subsidiaries). The lenders under the
revolving credit facility have a first priority lien on certain of the accounts
receivable of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors and proceeds therefrom
while the holders of the Notes have a second priority lien on such collateral.
The Indenture requires the Company
to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of their principal amount in
the event of a change of control of the Company and at 100% of the principal
amount thereof with certain proceeds of sales of assets. The Indenture also contains certain covenants
that,
1
among other things, limit the
Companys ability, and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: pay
dividends or distributions on capital stock or equity interests, prepay
subordinated indebtedness or make other restricted payments; incur additional
debt; make investments; create liens on assets; enter into transactions with
affiliates; engage in other businesses; sell or issue capital stock of
restricted subsidiaries; merge or consolidate with another company; transfer
and sell assets; create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting
subsidiaries; and designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a number of
customary covenants as well as covenants requiring the Company to maintain a
maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a
maximum consolidated total leverage ratio.
In connection with the issuance of
the Notes, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the Registration
Rights Agreement) that requires the Company to: (a) use its reasonable
best efforts to consummate an exchange offer within 270 days after the issuance
of the Notes, whereby the Company will file a registration statement with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and offer to exchange the Notes and the
related guarantees for publicly tradable notes and guarantees having
substantially identical terms; and (b) file a shelf registration statement
for the resale of the Notes and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
shelf registration statement to be declared effective if the Company cannot
effect an exchange offer within such 270 day period and in certain other
circumstances. If the Company does not
comply with its obligations under the registration rights agreement, the
interest rate on the Notes will increase by 0.25% per annum for the following
90 day period and an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent
90 day period, up to a maximum increase of 1.00% per annum. However, the interest rate will return to
12.75% as soon as the Company complies with the registration requirements.
The Notes will mature on July 15,
2014. Prior to July 15, 2012, the
Company may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes at a
redemption price equal to 112.75% of the principal amount of the Notes
redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, with the proceeds of certain
equity offerings. From July 15,
2012 until July 15, 2013, the Company may redeem all, or any portion, of
the Notes
at a redemption price equal to
106.375% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest. After July 15,
2013, but before the maturity date of July 15, 2014, the Company may
redeem all, or any portion, of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest.
