Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
As previously announced, on March 6, 2018, Inovalon Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Butler Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Butler”), New Heights Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, providing for the acquisition of Butler and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, without limitation, ABILITY Network Inc., a Delaware corporation, by the Company for aggregate consideration of $1.2 billion (the “Purchase Price”) payable in cash and restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.000005 per share (“Company Common Stock”). On April 2, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Butler, with Butler surviving the merger and becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of common stock of Butler (“Butler Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any dissenting shares and shares of Butler Common Stock held as treasury stock), was converted into the right to receive cash and restricted shares of Company Common Stock; (ii) each stock option of Butler that was in-the-money (an “In-the-Money Option”), and outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically vested, to the extent not already vested, canceled and extinguished, and automatically converted into the right to receive cash, and in the case of certain employees who are “accredited investors” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), restricted shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of receiving a portion of cash otherwise payable to such employees under the Merger Agreement; and (iii) each stock option of Butler that was not an In-the-Money Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, was automatically canceled and extinguished, no longer outstanding and ceased to represent the right to acquire shares of Butler Common Stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Company was comprised of $1.1 billion in cash and $100.0 million in restricted shares of Company Common Stock (translating into 7.6 million shares, based on the 45-day trailing average stock price for the Company Common Stock as of March 5, 2018 of $13.16). The Company funded the cash portion of the Purchase Price through cash on hand and borrowings under the new Credit Facility (defined below).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2018, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Butler, ABILITY Network Inc., or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
Credit Facility
In connection with the Merger, on April 2, 2018, the Company entered into: (i) a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”), as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”); and (ii) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with MSSF, as Collateral Agent for the secured parties thereto, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as guarantors and grantors thereunder (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) (the “Collateral Agreement” together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Agreement provides for: (i) a senior secured term loan facility with the Company as borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $980.0 million (the “Term Facility”); (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with the Company as
borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”), which includes a sub-facility for the issuance of up to $25.0 million of letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility” together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”); and (iii) incremental term loans (“Additional Term Loans”) and incremental increases under the Revolving Facility (the “Incremental Revolving Facility” together with the Additional Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”) in amounts such that after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facilities, either (a) the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities does not exceed 150.0 million, plus all voluntary prepayments of the Term Facility and voluntary prepayments of the Revolving Facility to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the revolving commitments thereunder, plus an additional amount, so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the pro forma Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00. The Revolving Facility will terminate on April 2, 2023 and the Term Facility will mature on April 2, 2025. The Company borrowed the entire $980.0 million Term Facility on April 2, 2018 and used the proceeds to pay off all of the Company’s existing obligations under the 2014 Credit Facility (as defined below) and to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger. The Company has not drawn any monies under the Revolving Facility.
The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Facilities are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and secured, with certain exceptions, by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”), including but not limited to: (a) a perfected first-priority pledge of all the equity interests held by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, real property, cash, deposit and securities accounts, commercial tort claims, letter of credit rights, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing).
The loans outstanding under the Term Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at: (i) the Eurodollar Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 3.50% or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (“ABR”) plus 2.50%. Any loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at: (i) the Eurodollar Base Rate plus 3.50% (if the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than 4.00 to 1.00) or 3.25% (if the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00) or (ii) ABR plus 2.50% (if the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.00 to 1.00) or 2.25% (if the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00). The Company may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar Base Rate borrowings. As set forth in the Credit Agreement, the ABR is the higher of: (i) the rate that MSSF as Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime or base commercial lending rate, as in effect from time to time, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus ½ of 1.0% and (iii) one-month the Eurodollar Base Rate plus 1.0%.
The Credit Agreement provides for mandatory prepayments from (a) 50% of the Company’s annual Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (beginning with the first full fiscal year commencing after the Closing Date), with step downs to 25% and 0% of Excess Cash Flow as certain Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratios are achieved, (b) net cash proceeds from asset sales and dispositions and (c) net cash proceeds from certain debt issuances (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Facilities). The Company may voluntarily prepay any borrowings under the Facilities at any time in minimum amounts of $10.0 million and in integral multiples of $1.0 million in excess thereof.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the amounts outstanding may, at the option of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), accrue interest at an increased rate and payments of such outstanding amounts could be accelerated, or other remedies undertaken pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the Collateral Agreement, by the Required Lenders. In addition, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the Credit Agreement, and the Credit Agreement includes certain customary representations and warranties of the Company.
The Lenders or their affiliates have in the past engaged, and may in the future engage, in transactions with and perform services, including commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking services, for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On the Closing Date, the Company paid in full all amounts outstanding under that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2014, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, each lender party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “2014 Credit Facility”), and terminated all commitments to extend further credit thereunder.
The terms of the 2014 Credit Facility provided for credit facilities in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $400.0 million, consisting of a senior unsecured term loan facility in the original principal amount of $300.0 million (the “2014 Term Loan Facility”) and a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $100.0 million. The obligations under the 2014 Credit Facility were guaranteed by the Company’s domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 2014 Credit Facility contained customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on negative pledges and liens. In addition, under the 2014 Credit Facility, the Company was required to maintain certain minimum liquidity levels, ($50.0 million while the 2014 Term Loan Facility remained available, or, if the 2014 Term Loan Facility had been repaid, $20.0 million), measured at the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters. In addition, the Company’s ability to incur debt under the 2014 Credit Facility was subject to compliance with a 4.00 to 1.00 leverage ratio under certain circumstances. The 2014 Credit Facility also contained certain mandatory prepayment requirements in connection with certain asset sales and customary events of default, including as a result of certain specified change of control events. The 2014 Term Loan Facility had a five-year term and was an amortizing facility with quarterly principal payments and monthly interest payments. The interest rate for the 2014 Term Loan Facility was LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum or the base rate plus 0.25% per annum (at the Company’s election).
