Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 16, 2021, MultiPlan Corporation (“MultiPlan” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, MPH Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Issuer”), intends to offer up to $775.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”), subject to market and other conditions. The Notes are expected to be guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by each of the Issuer’s wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that will guarantee the Issuer’s new senior secured credit facilities, and the Notes and such guarantees will be secured on an equal and ratable basis by the collateral that will secure such new senior secured credit facilities.

The Issuer will use the net proceeds from the offered Notes and borrowings under its new senior secured term loan facility, together with cash on hand, (i) to repay all of its indebtedness under its existing senior term loan facility and (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.

A copy of this press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. 

The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

Neither this Report nor the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described above, and neither this Report nor the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
