Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 13, 2015, the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Performant Financial Corporation (“Performant”), Premier Healthcare Exchange, Inc. (“PHX”), and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which Performant was to acquire PHX, was terminated. The closing under the Merger Agreement, originally announced on January 28, 2015, was subject to conditions, including among other things, Performant’s completion of a financing in the amount of approximately $130 million. The required financing has not occurred. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, both Performant and PHX became entitled to unilaterally terminate the Merger Agreement if the closing had not occurred by February 12, 2015, and PHX has elected to exercise this right.
Amendments to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2012 (as amended), by and among Performant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Performant Business Services, as borrower, the financial institutions from time to time listed therein as lenders (“Lenders”) and Madison Capital Funding LLC, as agent for the Lenders, described in Performant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2015, became null and void when the financing and merger referred to above did not occur by February 12, 2015.
