Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 3, 2016, MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MAC”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (“MTBC”), acquired substantially all the medical billing business and assets of MediGain, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“MediGain”), and its affiliate Millennium Practice Management Associates, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Millennium”). The assets were acquired through a strict foreclosure process whereby MAC acquired senior secured notes secured by the assets of MediGain and Millennium, and immediately thereafter foreclosed on the assets in satisfaction of the senior secured notes. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $7,000,000 and will be funded by MTBC.

 

The senior secured notes were purchased from Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company pursuant to an assignment agreement dated October 3, 2016. MTBC paid $2,000,000 of the purchase price at closing and is obligated to pay the remaining $5,000,000 within 90 days thereafter.

 

In conjunction with the purchase of the senior secured notes, MAC entered into a strict foreclosure agreement with MediGain and Millennium whereby the parties agreed that substantially all the assets securing the senior secured notes would be transferred to MAC in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the senior secured notes. As part of the agreement, MAC acquired the assets free and clear of liabilities, except for certain liabilities expressly assumed by MAC, including up to $650,000 of payables, up to $500,000 of payroll and benefits obligations, and pre-closing obligations accrued on the contracts assumed by MAC. Cash and certain causes of action relating to pre-closing matters were excluded from the acquired assets and retained by MediGain and Millennium.

 

Pursuant to a transition services agreement, MediGain and Millennium agreed to provide MAC usage of their office space and equipment at any of their six locations for up to 90 days after closing. MAC may choose what if any of these locations it wishes to utilize, provided that it reimburse MediGain and Millennium for such usage at-cost.

 

The foregoing description of the assignment agreement, strict foreclosure agreement and transition services agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the complete text of such documents, copies of which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

(“ MTBC ” and, collectively with the Debtors, the “ Parties ”).

 

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2014, MediGain entered into a Note Purchase and Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ Credit Agreement ”) and related documents (collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “ Loan Documents ”) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “ Senior Secured Noteholders ”) in the approximate amount of $9.875 million (the “ Senior Secured Indebtedness ” and “ Senior Secured Notes ”) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of MediGain, including 100% of the stock of RCM-MediGain India Private Limited (“ RCM-MediGain India ”). MediGain currently owes approximately $13 million of Senior Secured Indebtedness.

 

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2014, MediGain also entered into a Note Agreement with the below listed subordinated noteholders (the “ Subordinated Noteholders ”) in which MediGain agreed to issue, and the Subordinated Noteholders agreed to purchase, $14.1 million of subordinated notes due October 3, 2020 (the “ Subordinated Notes ”). In addition, MediGain issued Class W Units to the Subordinated Noteholders in exchange for $4 million, along with a Put Agreement in which MediGain agreed to repurchase the Class W Units upon the exercise of a put option provided to the Subordinated Noteholders. The Subordinated Noteholders are:

 

  a. Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P.,
     
  b. Prudential Capital Partners (Parallel Fund) IV, L.P.,
     
  c. Prudential Capital Partners Management Fund IV, L.P., and
     
  d. PCP Healthcare Revenue Cycle Holding, L.P.

 

MediGain currently owes approximately $20.8 million to the Subordinated Noteholders (the “ Subordinated Indebtedness ”). The Subordinated Indebtedness is unsecured.

 

Millennium Acquisition in 2014

 

WHEREAS, approximately $13.4 million of the proceeds of the Senior Secured and Subordinated Notes were used by MediGain for the acquisition of Millennium, now a wholly owned subsidiary of MediGain.

 

WHEREAS, Millennium is headquartered in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Millennium provides services similar to those provided by MediGain, including outsourced medical billing and collection services to medical professionals in office-based settings, including cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology, and internal medicine specialties.

 

WHEREAS, Millennium guaranteed MediGain’s Senior Secured Indebtedness and Subordinated Indebtedness. Millennium has pledged substantially all of its assets to secure its guaranty obligations to the Senior Secured Noteholders (the “ Millennium Guaranty ”). Its guaranty obligation to the Subordinated Noteholders is unsecured.

 

 
 

 

WHEREAS, the organizational chart for MediGain is currently as follows:

 

 

Defaults/Forbearance Agreements

On April 15, 2015, June 9, 2015, October 2, 2015, January 14, 2016 and February 2, 2016, MediGain and/or Millennium entered into Forbearance Agreements with the Senior Secured Noteholders.

WHEREAS, in February 2016, faced with decreasing revenues and severe financial distress, including approximately $13 million of defaulted Senior Secured Indebtedness, and approximately $20.8 million of defaulted Subordinated Indebtedness, MediGain and Millennium retained TKO Miller, LLC to provide it with investment banking services to market for sale substantially all of the assets of MediGain and Millennium.

WHEREAS, on and effective as of the Effective Date, the Senior Secured Noteholders have transferred and assigned all of their right, title and interests in and to the Senior Secured Indebtedness, under the Loan Documents and in the Millennium Guaranty, to MTBC.

WHEREAS, based on the results of the sales process conducted by TKO Miller, LLC and the historical and projected earnings of MediGain, the Debtors’ Boards of Managers acknowledge that the MediGain and Millennium assets are worth less than the Senior Secured Indebtedness, and certainly less than the combined Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness. Accordingly, the Debtors’ Boards of Managers now acknowledge that there is not enough value to repay the Senior Secured Indebtedness in full, and insufficient asset value for any recovery for the Subordinated Noteholders, the other unsecured creditors and the equity owners of MediGain. After consulting with counsel and MediGain’s management, and in light of the estimated MediGain asset values and the historical and projected EBITDA of MediGain, the Boards of Mangers now acknowledge that:

 

  a. The Debtors cannot continue to operate in the normal course of business with their current capital structure and near-term prospects;
     
  b. The Debtors can only service a fraction of the existing Senior Secured Indebtedness, and certainly none of the Subordinated Indebtedness;
     
  c. Any restructuring of the Debtors’ current capital structure would require forgiveness of all of the Subordinated Indebtedness, as well as the conversion of a significant portion of the Senior Secured Indebtedness to equity (which would, of course, require the extinguishment of all existing equity);
     
  d. A sale of the Debtors’ assets would provide no value or recovery for the Subordinated Noteholders, the other unsecured creditors and the equity owners; and
     
  e. The Debtors do not have sufficient funds to finance a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and, even if the Debtors could finance a bankruptcy proceeding, the main benefit of such a proceeding would be to provide the Debtors with time to either formulate and propose a plan of reorganization or to conduct a “§363 sale” of their assets. The Board of Managers believes that Chapter 11 proceedings would result in the loss of significant clients and revenues, and therefore would significantly reduce the Debtors’ asset values and projected earnings. Accordingly, the Board of Managers has determined that bankruptcy filings would pose a real and imminent threat to their business operations and reduce the value of their assets.

 

Proposed Strict Foreclosure Agreement

 

WHEREAS , since the Debtors have not been able to formulate a viable restructure plan, MTBC, the current owner and holder of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, has proposed that the Debtors transfer the foreclosed collateral securing the Senior Secured Indebtedness other than the Retained Assets (defined below), which are more fully described on Exhibit A (the “ Foreclosed Collateral ”), to MTBC in full satisfaction of the Senior Secured Indebtedness pursuant to Article 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code (i.e., a “strict foreclosure”) (the “ Proposal ”). With no viable alternatives available, the Debtors elected to negotiate this strict foreclosure agreement with MTBC in which the Debtors will provide their consent to the Proposal in exchange for MTBC’s agreement:

 

3
 

 

  a. to allow the Debtors to retain their cash to pay orderly wind down expenses of the Debtors (including preparation and filing of final tax returns);
     
  b. to assume certain of the Debtors’ executory contracts;
     
  c. to assume and pay certain of the Debtors’ outstanding non-insider and undisputed trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, in an aggregate amount of not more than $650,000 (which may include amounts due under executory contracts referenced in b hereof); and
     
  d. to offer employment at will to certain of the Debtors’ employees and to assume substantially all accrued but unpaid wages, vacation and other employee benefits due employees, in an aggregate amount of not more than $500,000.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.        Recitals Incorporated . The recitals and prefatory phrases and paragraphs set forth above are hereby incorporated in full and made a part of this Agreement.

 

2.        Transfer of Foreclosed Collateral to MTBC in Satisfaction of Senior Secured Indebtedness . Pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, by the execution of this Agreement, the Debtors hereby voluntarily transfer, convey and assign to MTBC all of the Debtors’ legal, equitable and beneficial right, title and interest in and to the Foreclosed Collateral, and the Debtors consent, without any objection of any kind or nature, to the acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral, and MTBC agrees by the execution of this Agreement that such transfer is in full satisfaction, payment and release of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty. (All references to the Uniform Commercial Code are deemed to be references to the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Texas as of the date of this Agreement (the “ UCC ”) unless otherwise specifically indicated.) The Debtors further agree that they shall execute or deliver to MTBC such further instruments or documents, or take such further action, as is necessary or desirable to MTBC to accomplish the transfer of the Foreclosed Collateral contemplated hereby. MTBC agrees that it shall execute and deliver to the Debtors such further instruments or documents, or take such action, as is necessary or desirable to evidence the full satisfaction and payment of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty as provided herein. Without limiting the foregoing, upon execution of this Agreement, the Debtors shall deliver to MTBC all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing the equity interest in the Debtors’ subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, Foreclosed Collateral shall include all funds received by the Debtors on or after October 1, 2016 through the Effective Date.

 

3.        Acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Senior Secured Indebtedness . MTBC hereby accepts the transfer of all of the Debtors’ rights, title and interests in and to the Foreclosed Collateral in payment, satisfaction and release of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC and other applicable laws.

 

4
 

 

4.        Retained Assets .

(c)        all claims, liabilities and obligations due and owing as of the Effective Date under each of the executory contracts (including Medical Billing Agreements) listed on Exhibit C (collectively, the “ Assumed Contracts ”);

(e)        all transfer taxes, if any, arising from this transaction.

 

6.        Excluded Liabilities .

13.        Acknowledgement of Obligations .

 

(a)        Each Debtor hereby acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that based on existing defaults and events of default, it is unconditionally liable to MTBC for the full and immediate payment of all of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, plus all interest, charges, fees, costs, and expenses that may arise under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, plus all attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and costs of collection incurred in connection with such Senior Secured Indebtedness, and that the Debtors have no defenses, counterclaims, or set-offs with respect to the full and immediate payment and performance of any or all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(b)        Each Debtor hereby further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that (i) there have been and currently exist multiple defaults and events of default under the Loan Documents, which constitute material defaults under the Loan Documents, (ii) any notice that might be given and any grace period or cure period that must expire, prior to the secured parties’ exercising any of their respective rights or remedies in connection with the Loan Documents, have been given, complied with, and expired and, in any event, are hereby waived and relinquished by such Debtor, and (iii) as a consequence, MTBC is now entitled immediately to exercise all of its respective rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents, at law, and in equity.

15.        The Debtors’ Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Acceptance of the Proposal .

 

(a)        Pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC, effective immediately upon MTBC’s receipt of each Debtor’s countersignature hereto (which shall constitute each Debtor’s consent to strict foreclosure and acceptance of MTBC’s Proposal, on the terms and conditions hereof), MTBC shall accept the Foreclosed Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, MTBC’s Proposal does not apply to any personal property in the possession of the Debtors that is not Foreclosed Collateral. Such acceptance by MTBC and delivery thereof by the Debtors (on the terms set forth herein), shall constitute partial satisfaction of the obligations owed to MTBC under the Senior Secured Notes and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Each Debtor hereby irrevocably covenants not to raise any objection, opposition, or challenge in connection with MTBC’s Proposal, the acceptance thereof by such Debtor, or otherwise with respect to the Foreclosed Collateral.

 

9
 

 

(c)        Each Debtor hereby further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that it shall cooperate fully with MTBC and its agents, successors, assigns, and designees in connection with the MTBC’s Proposal and this Agreement, and shall take such actions, and sign and deliver such documents, as requested by MTBC in order to effectuate the same, including but not limited to the transfer to, and registration in the name of MTBC of the stock of RCM-MediGain India and delivery of possession and title of the Foreclosed Collateral to MTBC.

 

(d)        Pursuant to authority provided to the Senior Secured Lender under the Loan Documents, MTBC agrees to vote and execute documents evidencing its vote of the pledged membership interests in MediGain, to approve MediGain’s consent to the MTBC Proposal.

 

16.        Bankruptcy Matters .

 

(a)        Factual Background . Each Debtor stipulates, acknowledges, and agrees that:

 

(i)        If the Debtors fail to perform their obligations under this Agreement and file, or have filed against them, a case under title 11 of the United States Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), such a filing could delay MTBC’s disposition of the Foreclosed Collateral. In that event, each Debtor stipulates and agrees that cause exists for relief from the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of law, including any right to seek relief under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(ii)        The Foreclosed Collateral is not necessary to an effective reorganization of the Debtor because an effective reorganization is not possible.

 

(iii)        The Debtors cannot provide “adequate protection” (as defined in section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code) of MTBC’s security interest in the Foreclosed Collateral to the extent necessary to satisfy sections 361 and 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)        Each Debtor makes the foregoing acknowledgments with the understanding and desire that they be treated as admissions in connection with any proceeding for relief from the automatic stay or any similar legal process by which MTBC may seek leave to foreclose or to exercise any other remedy against the Foreclosed Collateral in any subsequent bankruptcy or other proceeding that involves any Debtor.

 

(c)        Relief from Automatic Stay . Based on the foregoing factual background, each Debtor agrees that, in the event that it shall (i) seek in any case filed under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any Debtor any relief that has the effect of modifying or limiting MTBC’s rights hereunder in any bankruptcy court or other court of competent jurisdiction or, (ii) seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator, or (iii) be the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed by or against it for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief for the Debtor, then MTBC shall thereupon be entitled to relief from:

 

(i)        Any automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, on or against the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender, and

 

10
 

 

(ii)        Any other similar provision of law that has the effect of modifying or limiting MTBC’s right to exercise its rights and remedies under this agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Debtor hereby further agrees (i) to take or consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate such relief from the automatic stay or other provision of law, and (ii) that it waives its rights to seek any injunctive relief under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, any other rights, or the filing of a subsequent proceeding by any Debtor with respect to any acts by Lender to enforce rights in the Foreclosed Collateral.

 

(d)        Provided each Debtor is vigorously opposing the relief sought, the foregoing consent and waiver shall not apply to an involuntary petition filed against any Debtor until and unless a final order for relief is entered; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall prevent MTBC from seeking relief from the automatic stay or any other relief.

 

17.        Representations and Warranties .

 

(a)        MTBC hereby represents and warrants to the Debtors that (i) it has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the documents related hereto, and (ii) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and such documents has been duly authorized and approved and does not require any further authorization or consent of MTBC.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and have each been represented by respective legal counsel of their choice. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or not favoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(ii)        Board Resolutions . The Board of Managers for each Debtor has executed resolutions adopted by duly authorized, valid, unanimous written consent on September 28, 2016, relating to, among other things, the acceptance, authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of the Proposal and this Agreement and all other agreements and documents to be executed in connection therewith. All such resolutions are in full force and effect on the date hereof in the form in which adopted without amendment, modification, or revocation, and no other or further resolution or action by the board of managers of each Debtor or any committee thereof has been adopted relating to the acceptance, authorization, execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and herein.

 

(iii)        Audit. The Debtors acknowledge that MTBC will be required to file a Form 8-K within 74 days of this Agreement, containing the results of a completed audit of the Debtors’ consolidated financial statements for 2014 and 2015 in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the controlling requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Debtors shall, at MTBC’s cost and expense, support MTBC in obtaining an audit that satisfies the requirements of GAAP and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MTBC Announces the Closing of its Largest Acquisition to Date

 

SOMERSET, N.J., October 5, 2016 (Marketwired) – MTBC (NASDAQ: MTBC), a leading provider of proprietary, web-based electronic health records, practice management and mHealth solutions, today announced the closing of its largest acquisition of revenue cycle management customer accounts and other assets since its IPO.

 

“We are pleased to acquire substantially all of the assets of MediGain, LLC, a Texas-based medical billing company, and its affiliate, Millennium Practice Management, LLC, a New Jersey-based medical billing company (together, “MediGain”), through our wholly owned subsidiary, said Mahmud Haq, MTBC’s CEO. He continued, “This acquisition has allowed us to expand our client base and will allow us to show significant revenue growth in 2017.”

 

“We are excited by the opportunity presented by this acquisition and privileged to be able to support the team members formerly with MediGain as they continue to provide world class practice management support to healthcare providers throughout the United States,” said Stephen Snyder, MTBC’s President. He continued, “We look forward to leveraging our combined team of professionals and proprietary technology to help healthcare providers further increase revenues and reduce operating costs.”

 

In commenting on the transaction, Bill Korn, MTBC’s CFO, said, “We are very pleased to have acquired MediGain’s assets at a compelling valuation that represents a significant discount as compared to the industry norm of at least one times annualized revenues for a company of MediGain’s size.” He continued, “Moreover, we believe that our newly acquired business will contribute to our positive Adjusted EBITDA by the end Q1 2017.”

 

Substantially all of MediGain’s assets, including customer accounts, intellectual property, and offshore operations in India and Sri Lanka, were acquired by MTBC’s wholly owned subsidiary, MTBC Acquisition, Corp., on October 3, 2016. MTBC’s subsidiary acquired these assets through the closing of a Strict Foreclosure Agreement with MediGain, which occurred immediately after MTBC’s acquisition of 100% of MediGain’s senior debt from Prudential Insurance Company, which was collateralized by substantially all of MediGain’s assets.
