ENVISION HEALTHCARE CORPORATION (NYSE:EVHC) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 14, 2018, Envision Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the previously announced disposition of its medical transportation business to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Emergency Medical Services LP Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“EMSC”), AMR Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of EMSC (“AMR”), and Air Medical Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware company (“AMGH”), an entity controlled by funds affiliated with KKR Co. L.P. (“KKR”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Purchase Agreement Amendment (as defined below), AMGH acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock in AMR, the parent entity of the Company’s medical transportation business, from EMSC for approximately $2.44 billion in cash (the “Disposition”). The Company anticipates using the net proceeds of the Disposition to repay approximately $2.1 billion of the indebtedness owed under its Term Loan Facility.
In connection with the closing of the Disposition, on March 13, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to provide for a tax election to be made by the Company under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code and an increase in the purchase price in connection with such election, and to clarify certain definitions and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement.
The material terms of the Purchase Agreement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed on August 7, 2017. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 14, 2018 the Company completed the Disposition, and consequently disposed of its medical transportation business, to AMGH. The information under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 presents the operating results of its medical transportation business as discontinued operations for the three years ended December 31, 2017 and as assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The medical transportation business of legacy Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“EHH”) was contributed to the Company upon the merger of AmSurg Corp. (“AmSurg”) and EHH on December 1, 2016 (the “Merger”). AmSurg was the accounting acquirer in the Merger; therefore, AmSurg’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the Merger are considered to be the historical financial statements of the Company. As a result, the Company’s operating results for periods prior to December 31, 2016 exclude AMR’s results. Accordingly, the Company has determined that separate pro forma financial statements, giving effect to the Disposition are not required to be filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 1.01. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 14, 2018, effective as of the closing of the Disposition, Randel G. Owen, resigned from his position as the Executive Vice President and President-Ambulatory Services of the Company to accept an executive role with AMGH.
