RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accendra Health, Inc. (NYSE: ACH) (the “Company”) today announced the early results of the previously announced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of the Company’s outstanding 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and 6.625% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes that participate in the New Money Notes Issuance (as defined below) will be able to exchange such 2029 Notes for newly issued 9.000% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2032 (the “First Lien Notes”) and newly issued 9.750% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2033 (the “Second Lien Notes” and, together with the First Lien Notes, the “New Notes”). Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes that do not participate in the New Money Notes Issuance and Eligible Holders of 2030 Notes will be able to exchange such notes for Second Lien Notes.
As of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 9, 2026 (the “Early Exchange Time”), the Company received from Eligible Holders valid and unwithdrawn tenders and related Consents (as defined below), as reported by Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC (the “Exchange Agent” and “Information Agent”), representing approximately $478.3 million and $547.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes and 2030 Notes, respectively, or approximately 99.9% and 99.2% of the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes and 2030 Notes outstanding, respectively.
In addition, as of the Early Exchange Time, the Company received the requisite consents (the “Consents”) in its concurrent consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”) from Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing each series of the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Indentures”) to eliminate substantially all of the affirmative and negative covenants, eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modify or eliminate certain other provisions contained in each of the Existing Notes Indentures, including provisions related to defeasance (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The Company has entered into supplemental indentures with the trustees for the Existing Notes and the guarantors party thereto to give effect to the Proposed Amendments, which will become operative as of the Early Settlement Date.
In connection with the Exchange Offer for the 2029 Notes, the Company also offered $326.25 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued First Lien Notes for cash (the “New Money Notes Issuance” and, together with the Exchange Offers, collectively, the “Offers”). The New Notes will be issued by the Company and guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (including each subsidiary guarantor of the Existing Notes). To be eligible to receive the New Money Participant Early Exchange Consideration, each Eligible Holder of 2029 Notes (other than the Backstop Parties (as defined below)) was required to tender all of its 2029 Notes at or prior to the Early Exchange Time and must deliver in cash their pro rata cash portion of $65.25 million in aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes to the Exchange Agent by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 10, 2026, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Funding Date”).
As previously announced, pursuant to a Commitment and Consent Letter (the “Commitment Agreement”), dated as of May 11, 2026, by and among the Company, certain holders of Existing Notes and certain of the Company’s existing lenders (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”), the Backstop Parties have agreed to purchase (i) their agreed percentage of an aggregate principal amount of $261.0 million of the New Money First Lien Notes, at a price equal to par, and (ii) up to an additional $65.25 million of First Lien Notes, at a price equal to par, to the extent such amount is not purchased in the New Money Notes Issuance by Eligible Holders of the 2029 Notes who are not Backstop Parties, subject to the consummation of the Offers and Consent Solicitations and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes electing to participate in the Exchange Offer for 2029 Notes will receive different Exchange Consideration depending on their participant category: (a) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who elected to purchase their pro rata cash portion of New Money First Lien Notes by the Funding Date are referred to herein as “New Money Participants,” (b) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who are Backstop Parties under the Commitment Agreement and tender their committed 2029 Notes are referred to herein as “Backstop Participants” and (c) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who are neither New Money Participants nor Backstop Participants are referred to herein as “Other Eligible Participants.” All Eligible Holders of 2030 Notes will receive the same Exchange Consideration regardless of participant category.
As of the Early Exchange Time, approximately $124.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes were tendered by New Money Participants (subject to payment of the New Money Notes Purchase Price by the Funding Date, as applicable), approximately $332.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes were tendered by Backstop Participants and approximately $22.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes were tendered by Other Eligible Participants.
Each participating Eligible Holder must tender all of the Existing Notes it holds through The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”). The Company’s obligation to accept for exchange Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and to complete the New Money Notes Issuance pursuant to the Offers and related Consent Solicitations is subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted, waiver of, certain conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated May 22, 2026 (the “Offering Memorandum”). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offering Memorandum.
As of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 9, 2026, the right to withdraw tenders of Existing Notes and related Consents expired. Accordingly, Existing Notes tendered for exchange at or before such time may not be validly withdrawn and Consents may no longer be revoked, unless required by applicable law or the Company determines in the future in its sole discretion to permit withdrawal and revocation rights.
The Company further announced an amendment to the Offers, whereby the expected Early Settlement Date with respect to all Existing Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Exchange Time is expected to be June 15, 2026. Additionally, the Expiration Time has been extended to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 23, 2026 and the Late Settlement Date is expected to be June 25, 2026.
