Other Events.
|
On November 16, 2012 (the “Closing”), Emeritus Corporation and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary EmeriCare NOC LLC (together, “Emeritus”) completed its acquisition of the majority of the outstanding interests in Home Health Care Holdings, LLC (“HHCH”), the parent entity of Nurse On Call, Inc. (“Nurse On Call”), pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) effective November 1, 2012 by and among HHCH, Emeritus, the members of HHCH and Kinderhook Industries, LLC as Seller Representative. Emeritus paid approximately $102.5 million in cash for approximately 91.0% of the common equity units of HHCH (the “Common Units”). The remaining 9.0% of the equity in HHCH was retained by senior management of Nurse On Call (collectively, the “Rollover Members”). The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.95.01 and incorporated herein by reference. Nurse On Call is the largest Medicare-licensed home health care provider in Florida and one of the largest providers in the United States.
Effective on the Closing, Emeritus entered into a Put/Call Agreement with the Rollover Members, pursuant to which each Rollover Member has the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms and conditions of the Put/Call Agreement, to require Emeritus to purchase certain of the Common Units held by the Rollover Members. Additionally, Emeritus has the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms and conditions of the Put/Call Agreement, to require any of the Rollover Members to sell certain Common Units held by the Rollover Members. The purchase price for the foregoing rights is designated as 6.0 times trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined in the Put/Call Agreement.
Emeritus financed the acquisition using cash on hand.
There was no material relationship between Emeritus (or any officer, director or affiliate of either Emeritus, or any associate of any such officer or director) and HHCH and any of the members or subsidiaries of HHCH.
