The Credit Facility closed on July 16,
2024 (the "Closing Date"), and Health Catalyst borrowed
$125,000,000 of the Initial Facility
(constituting the entire amount thereof) on the Closing Date. The
Delayed Draw Facility remained undrawn as of the Closing Date.
Health Catalyst has the option to draw (x) up to $40,000,000 under the Delayed Draw Facility at
any time on or prior to the date that is six months after the
Closing Date, and (y) up to an additional $60,000,000 under the Delayed Draw Facility at
any time on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the
Closing Date, in each case subject to certain terms and
conditions.
The net proceeds of the Initial Facility, together with cash on
hand, will be used (x) to refinance Health Catalyst's existing
convertible notes, which mature in 2025, at any time at or prior to
maturity, and (y) for working capital and general corporate
purposes. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Facility may be used to
fund Health Catalyst's inorganic growth strategy.
"This financing is an important milestone for Health Catalyst
and its shareholders. The Credit Facility not only assists with
refinancing our existing convertible notes, but also provides
flexibility and additional non-dilutive capital for us to continue
to proactively pursue meaningful organic and inorganic growth
opportunities, and to continue to act as a consolidation platform
for our clients, integrating compelling technologies within our
five areas of focus, which we believe positions us well to create
client and shareholder value. We are pleased to have Silver Point
as a long-term strategic financing partner as we continue our
mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed
healthcare improvement," said Dan
Burton, Health Catalyst's Chief Executive Officer.
Jason Alger, Health Catalyst's
Chief Financial Officer, shared, "This financing represents a
dynamic, flexible solution that allows Health Catalyst to refinance
existing debt and fund growth initiatives in a non-dilutive way.
Additionally, we believe that the structure of the financing, in
particular the delayed draw feature, allows us to continue to
pursue and finance our acquisition strategy as we continue to work
on improving EBITDA and increasing our cashflow. This flexible
structure, which we believe enables us to address our near-term
convertible notes maturity in a non-dilutive fashion, allows us to
focus on creating value for our shareholders, while maintaining a
strong, flexible balance sheet."
"We are pleased to partner with Health Catalyst and work closely
with their team to develop a flexible financing solution that
supports the Company's growth initiatives and enables the Company
to refinance their existing convertible notes. The Company is at an
exciting inflection point and we believe our capital allows Dan,
Jason and the entire team the time, flexibility and dry powder to
execute their plan," said Anthony
DiNello, Head of Silver Point Finance.
Lazard acted as sole placement agent and financial advisor to
the Company in connection with the Credit Facility and Latham &
Watkins LLP acted as legal advisor to the Company.
