Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 1, 2020, Change Healthcare Inc. (the Company) completed the sale of its Connected Analytics business (Connected Analytics) to Kaufman, Hall & Associates, LLC and certain affiliates thereof (the Buyer) for total consideration of $55.0 million (subject to a customary working capital adjustment), including a $25.0 million seller note issued by a subsidiary of the Company in favor of the Buyer. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2019, Connected Analytics generated revenue of $48.6 million and contributed less than 2.5% to the Companys adjusted EBITDA for such period.
In addition, on May 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of eRx Network Holdings, Inc. (eRx) at a purchase price of $212.9 million plus cash on the balance sheet. In connection with the March 2017 transactions that established the joint venture (the Joint Venture) between McKesson Corporation (McKesson) and the Company comprising the majority of McKessons technology solutions segment and substantially all of Change Healthcare Performance, Inc.s legacy business (Legacy CHC), the equity interests for entities comprising the eRx business were distributed to the stockholders of Legacy CHC, including affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P., affiliates of Hellman & Friedman LLC, Neil de Crescenzo, the Companys President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, Kriten Joshi, the Companys Executive Vice President, and President, Network Solutions, and Howard Lance and Philip Pead, each a member of the Companys board of directors (the Legacy CHC Stockholders), and the Legacy CHC Stockholders entered into an agreement providing an option to a subsidiary of the Company to acquire eRx (the Option Agreement) exercisable when McKesson owned less than 5% of the outstanding units of the Joint Venture. As a result of the completion of the previously announced disposition by McKesson of its ownership interest in Change Healthcare to its stockholders in an exchange offer transaction, the option became exercisable. The determination to exercise the option and related matters were approved in accordance with the Companys policy regarding transactions with related persons. The purchase price was calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in the Option Agreement of (i) $1.00 plus (ii) (a) the adjusted EBITDA of eRx (including synergies related to the Companys acquisition thereof) for the twelve-month period ended February 29, 2020 less $14.269 million multiplied by (b) twelve, subject to certain purchase adjustments.
