Federal Street Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:FSACU, FSAC, FSACW)
(“FSAC”), a special-purpose acquisition company sponsored by an
affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”), and Agiliti
Holdco, Inc. (f/k/a UHS Holdco, Inc., “Agiliti Holdco”), the
holding company of Agiliti Health, Inc. (f/k/a Universal Hospital
Services, Inc.) (“Agiliti Health”), a leading, nationwide provider
of healthcare technology management and service solutions and a
portfolio company of Irving Place Capital Management, L.P.,
announced today that they have entered into an amended and restated
merger agreement, which amends the terms of the original merger
agreement that was entered into by the parties on August 13,
2018.
The purchase price for the acquisition represents an enterprise
value for the combined company of approximately $1.74 billion, or
11.6x Agiliti Health’s forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of
approximately $150 million and 10.2x Agiliti Health’s forecasted
2019 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $170 million. Under the terms
of the amended and restated merger agreement, the parties agreed to
reduce the aggregate consideration to be paid to the selling
equityholders of Agiliti Holdco from approximately $1.58 billion to
approximately $1.44 billion. Such aggregate consideration will now
be payable solely in cash, rather than a combination of cash and
common stock, other than the rollover by Agiliti Holdco
optionholders of a portion of their equity interests. The reduction
in consideration to shareholders effectively represents stock
consideration in Agiliti, Inc. that the selling equityholders were
willing to forgo to ensure that the transaction could proceed. The
amended and restated merger agreement provides, among other things,
that Agiliti Holdco will not, prior to January 9, 2019, exercise
its right to terminate the agreement as a result of the transaction
not having been consummated prior to the outside date, and certain
closing conditions have been removed or modified.
In connection with entering into the amended and restated merger
agreement, FSAC also entered into an amended and restated
subscription agreement with an affiliate of THL, which will provide
backstop financing for the revised transaction in the event of
redemptions by FSAC’s public stockholders. The subscription
agreement provides for the purchase of common stock of FSAC at a
per share price of $8.50 in an aggregate amount up to $750
million.
FSAC will reconvene the special meeting to approve the
transaction on January 3, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, at the
offices of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., 100 Federal Street, 35th
Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. As announced by FSAC on
December 17, 2018, the deadline for FSAC’s public stockholders to
elect to redeem their shares of class A common stock was extended
to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on December 31, 2018.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and BofA Merrill Lynch are serving
as financial advisors and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as
legal advisor to FSAC, and Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP is serving
as legal advisor to Agiliti Health, Inc. and Irving Place Capital
Management, L.P. in connection with the transaction.
For a full description of the amended and restated merger
agreement and the amended and restated subscription agreement with
the affiliate of THL, please see FSAC’s Current Report on Form 8-K
filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
