Exhibit 99.1
Bright Health Group Strengthens Capital Position with Amendment to its Credit Facility,
Impending Close of the Sale of its California Medicare Advantage Business
•Received all required regulatory approvals on the sale of the California Medicare Advantage Business; the transaction is expected to close on or about January 1, 2024
•Amended Company’s secured credit facility to reduce the final repayment resulting in approximately $30 million in savings
•Meaningfully improves capital position to support continuing business, NeueHealth, a value-driven consumer care delivery and provider enablement business
MINNEAPOLIS – December 29, 2023 – Bright Health Group, Inc. (“Bright Health” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BHG), the technology enabled, value-driven healthcare company, today announced that it entered into an amendment to its credit facility with J.P. Morgan that will reduce the final repayment amount by approximately $30 million to approximately $298 million. Upon payment of such amount, which is expected to be made concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Company’s California Medicare Advantage business (the “MA Sale”), the Company’s secured debt will be eliminated. The Company expects to use the remaining proceeds from the MA Sale to meaningfully improve the capital position of Bright Health’s continuing business. The Company expects the MA Sale to close on or about January 1, 2024, and has received all required regulatory approvals.
“I am really proud of all we have accomplished this year and look forward to further focusing on the long-term success of our NeueHealth business, which has proven to drive differentiated value for health consumers, providers, and payors across the healthcare ecosystem,” said Mike Mikan, President and CEO of Bright Health. “While we have been working on maturing as a company and improving our capital position, we have also continued to relentlessly focus on serving people every day who are in need of high-quality care. We are excited to continue to advance our value-driven, consumer-centric care model as we help align providers and payors to better serve consumers."
Upon closing of the MA Sale and the repayment of its secured debt, the Company expects to begin 2024 with approximately $90 million of unregulated cash. In addition, the Company expects to have approximately $155 million in excess cash surplus after reserving for expected medical costs and other anticipated wind-down expenses in its discontinued insurance business (other than the Company's risk adjustment obligations due under the repayment agreements with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the "CMS Repayment Agreements")).1 Additionally, subject to adjustments and the conditions in the MA Sale agreement, the Company expects to receive an additional $110 million from escrow. The Company intends to use such funds if and when received to offset liabilities in its discontinued ACA insurance business, such as the obligations under the CMS Repayment Agreements which come due on or before March 14, 2025.
In 2024, Bright Health will solely focus on its continuing business, NeueHealth, increasing access to high-quality healthcare through its differentiated, value-driven care model that serves all populations across the ACA Marketplace, Medicare, and Medicaid. The Company will share its outlook for 2024, which is expected to be positive on an EBITDA basis after adjusting for certain non-cash expenses, in its Fourth Quarter 2023 earnings release.
