Adjusted EBITDA Growth Guidance
Modivcare Inc. (the “Company” or “Modivcare”) (Nasdaq: MODV), a
technology-enabled healthcare services company providing a platform
of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving health
outcomes, today announced key initiatives to support future growth.
The Company has secured $75 million in incremental financing,
backed by stakeholders across the capital structure, and appointed
Chad Shandler as its Chief Transformation Officer. An existing
investor, Coliseum Capital Management, has also committed $30
million to purchase new second lien senior notes due 2029, subject
to a stockholder vote. As part of the financing agreement,
revolving lenders have agreed to amend the Company’s existing
credit agreement in order to, among other things, provide covenant
relief. The Company will also bolster its board of directors (the
“Board”) with the addition of three new independent directors to be
appointed in the coming months. These initiatives, along with a
strategic review of its assets that the Company is pursuing with
its advisors, are intended to strengthen the Company’s financial
foundation, enhance operational performance and best position
Modivcare for a future of sustainable growth.
“This financing highlights broad-based support from stakeholders
across the capital structure and provides the Company with
additional resources to focus on long-term strategic priorities,”
said Heath Sampson, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Modivcare. “As we turn to the future, we are also excited to
welcome Chad Shandler as Chief Transformation Officer. He brings a
wealth of experience supporting large-scale transformations across
the healthcare industry. I’m looking forward to working with him,
the Board and our financial partners to advance Modivcare’s
strategic goals.”
“The steps Modivcare is taking now to transform its business
will ensure the Company is well positioned to connect people with
the care they need, now and in the future,” said Leslie Norwalk,
Interim Chair of the Board. “We and the leadership team have worked
diligently to strengthen the Company’s financial foundation and
remain focused on improving the Company’s operational performance
with a view toward long-term growth.”
“We are pleased to be able to provide this incremental financing
to Modivcare, which will bolster its balance sheet and position the
Company to achieve its long-term strategic priorities and deliver
value to its stakeholders,” said a representative of the supporting
lenders. “Modivcare plays a critical role in the country’s
healthcare network with an important mission to connect people to
care, wherever they are. As we continue to work with Modivcare’s
leadership team and the Board, our goals are aligned in ensuring
the Company is well positioned to continue to support its members
nationwide.”
Transaction Details
Modivcare has raised $105 million in additional financing from
stakeholders across its capital structure as a $75 million
incremental term loan under its existing credit agreement and,
subject to a stockholder vote, $30 million of new Second Lien
Senior Secured PIK Toggle Notes due 2029 (the “Second Lien Notes”).
The financing will provide Modivcare with additional liquidity to
support its strategic initiatives. It will bolster the Company’s
financial position, allowing the Company to continue operating to
its same high level of service for members, while positioning the
Company to meet its long-term strategic goals and maximize
shareholder value.
The incremental term loan was priced at SOFR + 750 bps, with
1.00% SOFR Floor (no CSA) with a maturity of January 10, 2026 (the
“Maturity Date”) and OID of 2 points. The Company has the option to
prepay the incremental term loan, in whole or in part, at any time
prior to its maturity, subject to a prepayment fee equal to the
present value of all scheduled interest payments on the fully
committed amount that would accrue through the Maturity Date
calculated based on a discount rate equal to the treasury rate plus
50 basis points. The Company’s existing credit agreement was also
amended in connection with such financing with consenting lenders
receiving a customary consent fee, payable-in-kind.
The Company's existing credit agreement was amended to, among
other things, replace the pricing grid in respect of revolving
loans with pricing set at SOFR + 425 bps, with a 1.00% SOFR Floor,
change the 2% default rate so that it applies on all obligations
upon an event of default, amend the term loan maturity date to
spring to July 2, 2029 if the Second Lien Notes remain outstanding
as of such date, include enhanced reporting requirements and
eliminate or reduce certain baskets for a period of time, including
eliminating reinvestment rights with respect to certain asset sales
and reduction of the de minimis exception for certain asset sale
prepayments to $5,000,000.
The Company’s existing lenders have agreed to provide financial
covenant relief in the form of (i) a covenant holiday with respect
to the maximum net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio from
Q4 2024 through and including Q2 2025, (ii) resetting the maximum
total net leverage ratio covenant to 6.75:1.00 for the third fiscal
quarter of 2025 and the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 and (iii)
resetting the minimum interest coverage ratio to 1.65:1.00 for the
third fiscal quarter of 2025 and the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025.
The Company’s lenders have also agreed to reduce the minimum
liquidity covenant from $75 million to $25 million, which will be
tested each week through the week ending April 11, 2025, each month
through the month ending June 30, 2025 and, thereafter, each fiscal
quarter. In addition, the Company will be subject to a cash
variance compliance test with respect to aggregate disbursements
and aggregate receipts, subject to customary cures.
Pursuant to the amended credit agreement, upon the receipt of
requisite consents to make certain amendments to the indenture
governing the Company’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior
Notes”), the Company will exchange $251 million in aggregate
principal amount of Senior Notes held by certain lenders party to
the Company’s amended credit agreement for $251 million in
aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes, pursuant to the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an exchange
agreement, entered into between the Company and participating
lenders. Interest on the Second Lien Notes will be, at the
Company’s option, 5% per annum if paid in cash and 10% per annum if
paid-in-kind, provided if the Company’s liquidity is greater than a
to-be-determined threshold, the Company will be required to pay
interest in cash.
In addition, the Company entered into a purchase and exchange
agreement with clients of Coliseum Capital Management pursuant to
which Coliseum has agreed to purchase $30 million in aggregate
principal amount of Second Lien Notes at a purchase price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereto from, and including, October 1, 2024 to, but
excluding, the date of issuance of such Second Lien Notes and to
exchange approximately $20 million in aggregate principal amount of
Senior Notes for a like amount of Second Lien Notes. The
transaction with Coliseum is subject to approval of 66-2/3% of the
Company’s stockholders other than Coliseum under Delaware General
Corporation Law Section 203 because Coliseum owns more than 15% of
the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to seek such
stockholder approval at a special stockholder meeting to be held in
the first quarter of 2025.
Modivcare was advised in the transaction by Kirkland & Ellis
LLP, Moelis & Company, and FTI Consulting.
Transformation
As part of Modivcare’s efforts to drive strategic and
operational excellence, Chad Shandler, Senior Managing Director and
Co-Leader of the Corporate Finance Healthcare practice at FTI
Consulting, has been appointed as Chief Transformation Officer.
This newly created role will focus on strengthening Modivcare in
the near and long term and supporting the transformation of the
Company via strategic divestitures or other potential initiatives.
Mr. Shandler has more than 30 years of experience in executing on
strategic and financial plans and has previously served in
executive and advisory roles on behalf of a number of companies
across the healthcare space. He will focus on advancing key
strategic priorities and enhancing operational efficiencies for
Modivcare.
Modivcare has also engaged advisors to conduct a strategic
review of its assets to maximize shareholder value, which may
include the potential sale of assets of the Company. There is no
assurance that this review will result in a transaction, nor can
the Company provide certainty on timing or outcomes.
Guidance
The Company has withdrawn its previously stated revenue and
adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal year 2024 and adjusted EBITDA
growth for fiscal year 2025 and related forward-looking statements
due to changes in the business and overall environment.
