NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MultiPlan Corporation (NYSE:MPLN) (“MultiPlan” or the “Company”) today announced that it anticipates that the resale registration statement on Form S-3, previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 4, 2021 (the “resale registration statement”), will be declared effective by the Commission on or about December 10, 2021.

As previously indicated in our press release issued November 8, 2021, the resale registration statement will register shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of its previously issued $1,300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% / 7.00% Convertible Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were originally issued by the Company in a private placement completed on October 8, 2020. At the same time, a registration rights agreement was entered into between the Company and the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes, which required the filing of the resale registration statement and the issuance of this press release.

The Convertible Notes are currently convertible at the option of the holders, at the initial conversion rate of 76.9231 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.00 per share of Company Class A common stock). If all of the $1,300 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes were to convert into shares of common stock, the holders would receive shares that would have been worth an aggregate of approximately $426 million at the closing stock price on November 17, 2021.

In order for a beneficial owner of the Convertible Notes to be named as a selling security holder and to have the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of its Convertible Notes included in the resale registration statement at the time of effectiveness, the beneficial owner must complete and deliver a selling security holder notice and questionnaire on or before November 30, 2021, to:

MultiPlan Corporation
16 Crosby Drive
Bedford, MA 01730
E-Mail: msaconvertiblenotes@multiplan.com

The selling securityholder notice and questionnaire, and further information, may be obtained from MultiPlan as specified above.
