Item 2.04

 

Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

 

 

 

 

On June 22, 2011, the registered holders of the 10.375% Senior Discount Notes due 2016 (CUSIP No. 922036AD0 and CUSIP No. 922036AC2) (the “Notes”) issued by Vanguard Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) were notified of the Company’s partial redemption of the Notes as a result of, and conditioned upon, the Company’s anticipated receipt on June 27, 2011 of net proceeds of approximately $417.6 million in respect of the closing of its underwritten initial public offering of 25,000,000 shares of its common stock.  The redemption date for the Notes will be July 22, 2011 and the redemption price for the Notes will be 105.000% of the accreted value of the Notes as of the redemption date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This redemption of the Notes is mandatory upon the Company pursuant to Paragraph (6) of the Notes and Section 3.08 of the Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2011 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), under which the Notes were issued.  The Indenture requires the Company to redeem the Notes, at the redemption price set forth above for redemptions prior to February 1, 2013, with all of the net cash proceeds of the Company’s underwritten public offerings of its common stock where such proceeds are in excess of $25 million, other than any such public sale to an affiliate of the Company or registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8.  A copy of the Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company estimates that pursuant to this redemption it will redeem approximately $628.8 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes (or approximately 84.15% of the original issuance in January 2011 of $747,219,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes).  The redemption will result in approximately $74.9 million of remaining unredeemed accreted value of the Notes remaining outstanding on July 22, 2011 immediately after this redemption is completed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The selection of the actual Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot, pro rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to DTC’s procedures) to the extent practicable; provided, however, that no Notes of $2,000 principal amount at maturity or less shall be redeemed in part.

 

 

 

 

Item 8.01

   

Other Events.

 

 

 

 

 

On June 22, 2011, the Company also issued a press release in respect of the redemption of the Notes.  For information regarding this redemption, the Company hereby incorporates by reference in this Item 8.01 the information set forth in Item 2.04 above and in its Press Release dated June 22, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
