Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Intermountain, to which the Company sold to Intermountain, in private placements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), (i)4,665,594 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $4.2867 per share (representing the per share average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the period from January 1, 2018 to January 12, 2018), and (ii) a warrant to acquire up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant”), for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for so long as Intermountain’s “Ownership Threshold” (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) is met, Intermountain shall be entitled to nominate one individual (the “Intermountain Designee”) to the Company’s board of directors (“Board”). Additionally, subject to applicable law and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or other United States national securities exchange that the Common Stock is listed upon, if any), the Company will offer the Intermountain Designee an opportunity to, at Intermountain’s option, either sit on each regular committee of the Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. If the Intermountain Designee fails to satisfy the applicable qualifications under law or stock exchange listing standard to sit on any committee of the Board, then the Board shall offer the Intermountain Designee the opportunity to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to increase the size of the Board and appoint the Intermountain Designee as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than April 30, 2018.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Intermountain must cause all of its Common Stock entitled to vote at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be present at such meeting and to vote all such shares in favor of any nominee or director nominated by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and against the removal of any director nominated by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Intermountain will be subject to certain transfer restrictions to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Prior to January 23, 2021, neither Intermountain nor any Affiliate (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) may directly or indirectly transfer the Common Stock, the Warrant, or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant to any person without the prior written consent of the Company other than any “Permitted Transfer” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided that if TCP-ASC ACHI Series LLLP (“TCP-ASC”) (or any affiliate of TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. or Ascension Health who directly or indirectly received equity securities of the Company from TCP-ASC) effects a sale of equity securities of the Company in a “Sale Transaction” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) after January 23, 2019, Intermountain will be released from such transfer restriction on a pro rata basis; and provided further that if one or more Sale Transactions occur prior to January 23, 2019, Intermountain will be released from such transfer restriction on a pro rata basis effective as of January 24, 2019. Intermountain and its affiliates are also prohibited from transferring to any competitor of the Company.
Intermountain is subject to customary standstill provisions, untilsuch time as Intermountain owns less than 2% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis and calculated assuming full exercise of the Warrant.
The Purchase Agreement also provides that Intermountain will have a co-investment right in certain future issuances of equity and/or debt securities of the Company, subject to the Ownership Threshold being met, with respect to a “Subsequent TCP-ASC Investment” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), equal to ten percent (10%) of the Subsequent
