ModivCare Announces Pricing of its $500 Million Private Offering of Senior Notes
ModivCare Inc. (Nasdaq: MODV) has priced a private placement offering, issuing $500 million in senior notes due October 1, 2029, at a 5.000% interest rate, up from an initial $400 million. The offering is set to close on August 24, 2021, pending market and closing conditions. Funds will be allocated to the acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings and related expenses, with leftover proceeds for corporate purposes, including repaying debts from the acquisition of Care Finders Total Care LLC. The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act.
- Upsizing the offering from $400 million to $500 million indicates strong demand.
- Funds will support the acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings, potentially enhancing ModivCare's service portfolio.
- Net proceeds can also be used to repay existing indebtedness, improving financial health.
- Issuance of new senior notes could lead to shareholder dilution.
- The notes are effectively junior to existing secured debts, posing risks in case of financial distress.
ModivCare Inc. (“ModivCare”) (Nasdaq: MODV), today announced the pricing of the previously announced private placement offering and has agreed to issue and sell
ModivCare intends to use the net proceeds from the notes to (i) pay the consideration in connection with the acquisition of VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC (the “VRI Acquisition”), and (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the VRI Acquisition, with the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, repayment of indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of Care Finders Total Care LLC.
The gross proceeds of the offering will be deposited into a segregated escrow account until the date that certain escrow release conditions are satisfied. The escrow conditions include the consummation of the VRI Acquisition and the merger of the Escrow Issuer into ModivCare, among other conditions precedent. Prior to the consummation of the VRI Acquisition and satisfaction of the escrow release conditions and pending the release of the escrowed property (if applicable), the notes will be secured by a first priority security interest in the escrow account and escrowed property. From and after the consummation of the VRI Acquisition and satisfaction of the escrow release conditions and following the release of the escrowed property (if applicable), the notes and the note guarantees will not be secured, and will be ModivCare’s and each of its then current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ (the “Guarantors”) senior obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with any of ModivCare’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under ModivCare’s credit facility.
The notes and the note guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to any of ModivCare’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness and obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated to the notes and the note guarantees. The notes and related note guarantees will be effectively junior to all of ModivCare’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The notes will also be structurally junior to all indebtedness of ModivCare’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.
The notes to be offered will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other state securities laws. As a result, they may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. A confidential offering memorandum for the notes will be made available to such eligible persons. The offering will be conducted in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such offering memorandum.
This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
