UNITED SURGICAL PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES
REFINANCING AND SPIN-OUT OF ITS UNITED KINGDOM SUBSIDIARIES; INITIALLY
SETTLES TENDER OFFER AND DISCHARGES INDENTURE
Dallas, Texas (April 3, 2012) United Surgical Partners International, Inc. (USPI or the Company) today announced USPI Finance Corp. (USPI Finance), an affiliate of the Company, successfully completed the private placement of $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.000% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the New Notes). The New Notes were issued and sold in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) in connection with its previously announced tender offer and related consent solicitation for the Companys outstanding $437.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017 (the Existing Cash Notes) and 9 1/4%/10% senior subordinated toggle notes due 2017 (the Existing Toggle Notes and together with the Existing Cash Notes, the Existing Notes) and the refinancing of certain of its existing indebtedness (the Refinancing, which included the U.K. Spin-Out, as defined below).
The net proceeds from the New Notes, together with borrowings under an amendment to USPIs senior secured credit facility and cash on hand, will be used to refinance certain of USPIs existing indebtedness, to pay a dividend to its ultimate parents equity holders and to pay related fees and expenses.
Today USPI also accepted for purchase, and paid for, all Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 27, 2012 (the Consent Deadline) pursuant to the terms of a tender offer and consent solicitation for the Existing Notes, which commenced on March 14, 2012 and is described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 14, 2012 (the Offer to Purchase). Under the terms of the Offer to Purchase, holders of the Existing Notes who validly tendered their Existing Notes and delivered their consents prior to the Consent Deadline received consideration equal to (i) in the case of Existing Cash Notes validly tendered, $1,018.13 per $1,000 principal amount of such Existing Cash Notes and (ii) in the case of Existing Toggle Notes validly tendered, $1,020.00 per $1,000 principal amount of such Existing Toggle Notes (each, the Tender Offer Consideration), as well as a consent payment in the amount of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of such Existing Notes (the Consent Payment), for a total consideration of $1,048.13 per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Cash Notes and $1,050.00 per $1,000 premium amount of Existing Toggle Notes (the Total Consideration). Holders of the Existing Notes who validly tender their Existing Notes after the Consent Deadline, but prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 10, 2012 (the Expiration Time), will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer Consideration only on the final settlement date, which will be promptly after the Expiration Time. Both today and on the final settlement date, holders whose Existing Notes are purchased in the tender offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of their purchased Existing Notes up to, but not including the applicable settlement date.
In addition, USPI announced that it has deposited sufficient funds in trust with the trustee under the indenture governing the Existing Notes, dated as of April 19, 2007 (the Indenture), as supplemented by the supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture), dated as of March 28, 2012, and the trustee has acknowledged the satisfaction and discharge. USPI has instructed the trustee to redeem the remaining $44,800,000 aggregate principal amount of the Existing Cash Notes and $32,806,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Toggle Notes on May 1, 2012. In accordance with the terms of the Existing Notes and the Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, USPI will redeem such Existing Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.438% of the principal amount of the Existing Cash Notes and a redemption price equal to 104.625% principal amount of the Existing Toggle Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including May 1, 2012.
As part of the Refinancing, USPI distributed the stock of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom to its ultimate parents equity holders in order to separate its domestic and U.K. businesses (the U.K. Spin-Out). The U.K. business is now a stand alone company, and USPI has no further economic interest in the business in the U.K. other than certain amounts due to USPI pursuant to a services agreement. The New Notes were initially issued by USPI Finance, a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of USPI Group Holdings, Inc. Because the consummation of the U.K. Spin-Out occurred at or prior to the time of consummation of the offering of the New Notes, USPI Finance merged with and into USPI, with USPI being the surviving entity.
USPI, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has ownership interests in or operates 202 surgical facilities, following the U.K. Spin-Out. Of the Companys 202 facilities, 140 are jointly owned with not-for-profit healthcare systems.
The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
