PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 2, 2021

PROXY STATEMENT FOR

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF JAWS ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR

119,783,333 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND 33,533,333 WARRANTS OF JAWS ACQUISITION CORP. (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “CANO HEALTH, INC.” IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)

 

 

The board of directors of Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Jaws”), has unanimously approved (i) the domestication of Jaws as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”); (ii) the acquisition of certain equity interests in Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“PCIH”) from its sole member, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (“Seller”), by Jaws through a merger, pursuant to which PCIH will become a direct subsidiary of the Company (as defined below) as a result thereof (the “Business Combination”); and (iii) the other transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020 (as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Jaws, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), Seller and PCIH (a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the “Company” refers to Jaws as a Delaware corporation by way of continuation following the Domestication and the Business Combination, which, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination, will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws’ shareholders are being asked to consider a vote upon (among other things) the Business Combination.

On the effective date of the Domestication and prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), of Jaws will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A common stock”); (ii) the issued and outstanding redeemable warrants that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statements on Form S-1 (SEC File Nos. 333-237874 and 333-238241) of Jaws (the “IPO registration statement”) will automatically become redeemable warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding public warrants as a result of the Domestication); (iii) each issued and outstanding unit of Jaws that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary share and underlying warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement; (iv) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), of Jaws will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis without giving effect to any rights of adjustment or other anti-dilution protections, into one share of Class A common stock; and (v) the issued and outstanding warrants of Jaws issued in a private placement will automatically become warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding private placement warrants as a result of the Domestication).

Accordingly, this prospectus covers 119,783,333 shares of Class A common stock, 33,533,333 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and 33,533,333 warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock.


Table of Contents

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (1) Jaws’ Public Shareholders will own approximately 14.6% of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company, (2) the Seller will own 64.8% of the Class A common stock assuming that all of the PCIH Common Units held by the Seller are exchanged into shares of Class A common stock of the Company or 100% of the Class B common stock of the Company prior to such exchange, which such Class B common stock entitles it to voting power in the Company commensurate with its equity ownership in PCIH, (3) the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors (excluding the officers and directors of Jaws participating in the PIPE) are expected to own approximately 3.7% of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company and (4) the PIPE Investors will own 16.9% of the Class A common stock of the Company, which includes 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by certain officers and directors of Jaws. These percentages (i) assume no Public Shareholders exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) do not take into account Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants to purchase Class A common stock of the Company that will be outstanding immediately following the completion of the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company will be different.

The following summarizes the pro forma ownership of Class A common stock of the Company following the Business Combination, including for the Seller those shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of the Seller’s PCIH Common Units into Class A common stock of the Company, under two scenarios:

  (2)

Includes 17,250,000 shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the existing Class B ordinary shares in connection with the Domestication. Shares of Class A common stock are issued upon the automatic conversion of the Class B ordinary shares concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination.

  (3)

Excludes 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by certain officers and directors of Jaws in connection with the PIPE Investment.

Jaws’ units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “JWS.U,” “JWS” and “JWS WS,” respectively. Jaws will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants on the NYSE under the proposed symbols “CANO” and “CANO WS,” respectively.

JAWS ACQUISITION CORP.

A Cayman Islands Exempted Company

(Company Number 358612)

1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800, Miami Beach, Florida 33139

To the Shareholders of Jaws:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the annual general meeting (the “Shareholders Meeting”) of Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Jaws” and, after the Domestication as described below, the “Company”), at 9 a.m., Eastern Time, on                    , 2021, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 50 Floor, New York, New York 10022, or via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

As all shareholders will no doubt be aware, due to the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic, there are restrictions in place in many jurisdictions relating to the ability to conduct in-person meetings. As part of our precautions regarding COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility that the meeting may be held virtually over the Internet, but the physical location of the meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so via a press release and posting details on our website that will also be filed with the SEC as proxy material.

At the Shareholders Meeting, shareholders of Jaws will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated effective as of November 11, 2020 (as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Jaws, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”), Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (“Seller”) and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“PCIH”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and the transactions contemplated thereby. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, following the Domestication of Jaws to the State of Delaware as described below, Jaws will acquire certain equity interests of PCIH from Seller, its sole member, by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, merging with and into PCIH, and becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company as a result thereof (the “Business Combination”). As a condition to closing the Business Combination, the board of directors of Jaws has unanimously approved, and shareholders of Jaws are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve (the “Domestication Proposal”), a change of Jaws’ jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and transferring by way of continuation and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). As used herein, the “Company” refers to Jaws as a Delaware corporation by way of continuation following the Domestication and the Business Combination, which, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination, will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.”

On the effective date of the Domestication and prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), of Jaws will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A common stock”); (ii) the issued and outstanding redeemable warrants that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statements on Form S-1 (SEC File Nos. 333-237874 and 333-238241) of Jaws (the “IPO registration statement”) will automatically become redeemable warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding public warrants as a result of the Domestication); (iii) each issued and outstanding unit of Jaws that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary share and underlying warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Class A


Table of Contents

common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement; (iv) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), of Jaws will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis without giving effect to any rights of adjustment or other anti-dilution protections, into one share of Class A common stock and (v) the issued and outstanding warrants of Jaws issued in a private placement will automatically become warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding private placement warrants as a result of the Domestication). As used herein, “Public Shares” shall mean the Class A ordinary shares and “Public Warrants” shall mean the redeemable warrants to acquire Class A ordinary shares, in each case, that were registered pursuant to the IPO registration statement and the shares of the Class A common stock issued as a matter of law upon the conversion thereof on the effective date of the Domestication. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal.”

As conditions to closing the Business Combination, you will also be asked to consider and vote upon (i) a proposal to approve for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of shares of Class A common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, and the Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) (the “NYSE Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to approve and adopt the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex L (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal”); and (iii) a proposal to approve and adopt the proposed Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) upon the Domestication (the “Charter Proposal”). The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Charter Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the Shareholders Meeting, or otherwise waived by the party for whose benefit such condition exists. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other.

In addition, you will be asked to consider and vote upon (i) on a non-binding advisory basis, certain material differences between Jaws’ existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Existing Organizational Documents”) and the proposed new certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and bylaws of the Company upon the Domestication (the “Organizational Documents Proposals”); (ii) a proposal to approve and adopt the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal”); and (iii) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the Shareholders Meeting, which is referred to herein as the “Adjournment Proposal.” None of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully in its entirety.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and assuming No Redemptions, at the Effective Time, (i) the Seller will (a) retain 305,741,594 PCIH Common Units, which are non-voting economic interests in PCIH, (b) receive 305,741,594 shares of Class B common stock, which will be non-economic voting interests in the Company, and (c) receive the Cash Consideration, (ii) existing stockholders of Jaws will retain 166,250,000 shares of Class A common stock in the Company (which includes 80,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold through the PIPE Investment), and the Company will hold 166,250,000 PCIH Common Units and will act as the managing member of PCIH, and (iii) Jaws will contribute the proceeds of its Trust Account, together with the proceeds of the PIPE Investment, as consideration for the Business Combination, which will be used to pay the Cash Consideration to the Seller and make a cash contribution to PCIH, in exchange for equity interests in PCIH. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Business Combination Consideration.”


Table of Contents

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws, Seller, PCIH and the Sponsor Parties entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement on November 11, 2020 (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor Parties have agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Organizational Documents of Jaws, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in Jaws prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the date on which such closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Business Combination Consideration.”

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, such investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Jaws agreed to issue and sell to such investors, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate amount of 80,000,000 shares of Jaws’ Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $800,000,000. In addition, the Seller may, prior to the Closing and in consultation with and subject to the prior consent of Jaws and Cano America, LLC, direct Jaws to sell up to an additional 20,000,000 shares of Jaws’ Class A common stock (collectively with the shares of Jaws’ Class A common stock to be sold pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the “PIPE Investment”). The closing of the PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreements provide that Jaws will grant the investors in the PIPE Investment certain customary registration rights and indemnification.

Promptly after the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, each of ITC Rumba, LLC, Cano America, LLC and Comfort Health Management LLC (collectively, the “Seller Unitholders”) entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Support Agreements”) with Jaws, pursuant to which the Seller Unitholders have agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) irrevocably appoint Jaws or any individual designated by Jaws as such Seller Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstitution) to attend on behalf of such Seller Unitholder any meeting of the Seller Unitholders with respect to the Business Combination, and to vote (or cause to be voted) the units of the Seller held by such Seller Unitholder or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the Closing Date, including the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Investor Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). The Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement will provide for, among other things, the ability for each holder of PCIH Common Units, from time to time after the applicable lock-up period expires (but no more than twice per calendar quarter), to exchange all or any portion of its PCIH Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, for a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of PCIH Common Units to be exchanged multiplied by (ii) an exchange rate which will initially be one to one but which will be subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement regarding such exchanges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering Class A common stock for any PCIH Common Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per PCIH Common Unit equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock on the receipt of the written notice of the exchange. See “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a public shareholder may request that Jaws redeem all or a portion of such shareholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public


Table of Contents

Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”), Jaws’ transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares even if they vote “for” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to the Transfer Agent, the Company will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Jaws’ trust account established at the consummation of its initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of                    , 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $            per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and accordingly it is shares of Class A common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Shareholders Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The holders of Class B ordinary shares have agreed to vote all of their ordinary shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Shareholders Meeting and waive their redemption rights with respect to such ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Class B ordinary shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the holders of Class B ordinary shares own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of PCIH and the Seller to consummate the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, that (x) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds available for release to Jaws from the Trust Account plus the aggregate proceeds actually received from the PIPE Investment, less (i) amounts required for the redemptions each holder of Public Shares of Jaws is entitled to (to the extent such holder elects to exercise such redemption rights), (ii) the aggregate amounts of certain liabilities of Jaws and (iii) the aggregate amount of fees and expenses payable by Jaws in connection with the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby that remain unpaid immediately prior to the Closing, shall be at least $1,025,000,000 and (y) the aggregate cash proceeds available for release to Jaws from the Trust Account (after giving effect to all redemptions of holders of Public Shares of Jaws entitled thereto) shall be an amount equal to at least $225,000,000 ((x) and (y) collectively, the “Minimum Cash Condition”). If this Minimum Cash Condition is not met, and such condition is not duly waived by the Seller, then the Business Combination Agreement could be terminated and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. The Business Combination Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of PCIH, the Seller and Jaws to consummate the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, Jaws having, after giving effect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of at least $5,000,001.

Jaws is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to Jaws’ shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Shareholders Meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary meeting. Information about the Shareholders Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by Jaws’ shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Shareholders Meeting, all of Jaws’ shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 69 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Jaws has unanimously approved the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to Jaws’ shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of Jaws, you should keep in mind that Jaws’ directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, as of the Record Date (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), of the Jaws ordinary shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposals are voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis only. The Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal will require a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws ordinary shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Charter Proposal or the NYSE Proposal fail to receive the required approval by the shareholders of Jaws at the Shareholders Meeting, the Business Combination will not be completed.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Shareholders Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Shareholders Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Shareholders Meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the Shareholders Meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. None of the Organizational Documents Proposals, which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis only, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Shareholders Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Shareholders Meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Shareholders Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the Shareholders Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO JAWS’ TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS


Table of Contents

DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE SHAREHOLDERS MEETING.

YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT.

On behalf of the board of directors of Jaws, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Sincerely,

Barry S. Sternlicht

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF JAWS ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the annual general meeting (the “Shareholders Meeting”) of Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Jaws” and, after the Domestication as described below, the “Company”), will be held at 9 a.m., Eastern Time, on                    , 2021, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 50th Floor, New York, New York 10022, or via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

As all shareholders will no doubt be aware, due to the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic, there are restrictions in place in many jurisdictions relating to the ability to conduct in-person meetings. As part of our precautions regarding COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility that the meeting may be held virtually over the Internet, but the physical location of the meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so via a press release and posting details on our website that will also be filed with the SEC as proxy material. You are cordially invited to attend the Shareholders Meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

 

(1)

Proposal No. 1 — The Domestication Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal by special resolution to change the corporate structure and domicile of Jaws by way of continuation from an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). The Domestication will be effected immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) by Jaws filing a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and a Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and filing an application to de-register with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, Jaws will become a Delaware corporation and will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” (together with Jaws following the Domestication and the Business Combination, the “Company”) and all outstanding securities of Jaws will convert to outstanding securities of the Company, as described in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. We refer to this proposal as the “Domestication Proposal.” The forms of the proposed Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws of the Company to become effective upon the Domestication, are attached to the accompanying proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, Jaws will acquire certain equity interests of PCIH from Seller, its sole member, by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, merging with and into PCIH, with PCIH becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company, as described in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. We refer to this proposal as the “Business Combination Proposal.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Table of Contents
  Business Combination (this proposal is referred to herein as “Organizational Documents Proposal 6D”).

 

(7)

Proposal No. 7 The NYSE Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution to approve, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of shares of Class A common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination and the Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment (the “NYSE Proposal”).

 

(8)

Proposal No. 8 — The Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (this proposal is referred to herein as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

These Shareholder Proposals are described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of ordinary shares of Jaws at the close of business on March 24, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Shareholders Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the Shareholders Meeting and any adjournments of the Shareholders Meeting.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Jaws has determined that the Shareholder Proposals are fair to and in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that the holders of Jaws’ ordinary shares entitled to vote with respect to each of the Shareholder Proposals, vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the NYSE Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The existence of any financial and personal interests of one or more of Jaws’ directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Shareholder Proposals. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that Jaws redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

  (i)

(a) hold Public Shares, or (b) hold Public Shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

 

  (ii)

submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Jaws’ transfer agent, in which you (a) request that Jaws redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

 

  (iii)

deliver your Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Jaws’ transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by Jaws, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other Shareholder Proposal and whether they held Jaws ordinary shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds ordinary shares of Jaws on or before                    , 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders


Table of Contents

Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $        million on                    , 2021 and including anticipated additional interest through the closing of the Business Combination (assuming interest accrues at recent rates and no additional tax payments are made out of the Trust Account), the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $         . A Public Shareholder who has properly tendered his, her or its Public Shares for Redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the Redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate.

Jaws shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand Redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on                    , 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that Jaws redeem such holder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for Redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ordinary shares of Jaws and (c) delivering their ordinary shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s deposit/withdrawal at custodian system (“DWAC”), at the holder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the Shareholders Meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of Jaws’ Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by Jaws.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors of Jaws have waived all of their Redemption Rights and will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any Jaws Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly. Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

Each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the NYSE Proposal is interdependent upon the others and must be approved in order for Jaws to complete the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. If any of the Domestication Proposal, Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal or the NYSE Proposal fails to receive the required approval by the shareholders of Jaws at the Shareholders Meeting, the Business Combination will not be completed. The Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution, being the approval of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, as of the Record Date, of the ordinary shares of Jaws that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposals are voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis only. The Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal will require a special resolution, being the approval of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds, as of the Record Date, of the ordinary shares of Jaws that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Unless we are required to meet virtually to take necessary precautions due to COVID-19, all shareholders of Jaws are cordially invited to attend the Shareholders Meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

By Order of the Board of Directors

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus, but does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. To better understand the Proposals to be considered at the Shareholders Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, and whether or not you plan to attend such meeting, we urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus (including the annexes) carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors.” See also the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Overview of PCIH

We are a primary care-centric, technology-powered healthcare delivery and population health management platform designed with a focus on clinical excellence. Our mission is simple: to improve patient health by delivering superior primary care medical services while forging life-long bonds with our members. Our vision is clear: to become the national leader in primary care by improving the health, wellness and quality of life of the communities we serve while reducing healthcare costs.

We are one of the largest independent primary care physician groups in the United States. We utilize our technology-powered, value-based care delivery platform to provide care for our approximately 106,000 members across 14 markets, through our 222 employed providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) and 398 clinical support employees at our 71 owned medical centers and over 500 affiliate providers as of December 31, 2020. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health — Key Performance Metrics” for how we define our members and medical centers. We predominantly enter into capitated contracts with the nation’s largest health plans to provide holistic, comprehensive healthcare. We predominantly recognize recurring per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. We also provide practice management and administrative support services to independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization relationships, which we refer to as our affiliate providers. Our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care rather than driving a high volume of services. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients alike — the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, is a critical enabler of our efforts to deliver superior clinical care.

Founded in 2009 by Dr. Marlow Hernandez to address an unmet need for quality care in his hometown community, we provide access to high-quality care to primarily underserved and dual-eligible populations, many of whom live in economically disadvantaged and minority communities, thereby contributing to the revitalization of these communities. We have rapidly expanded to become a nationally-recognized, multi-state provider that is focused on Medicare-eligible beneficiaries where we can have the greatest positive impact on our members and for our payers.

We operate in the $800 billion Medicare market, which is growing at 8% annually, with a focus on the $270 billion Medicare Advantage market, which is growing at 14% annually and is supported by robust industry tailwinds. For instance, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, over 10,000 seniors age into Medicare every day, resulting in an increase of approximately $1 billion in our total addressable market each week. Within Medicare, Medicare Advantage penetration is projected to grow from 34% of the market for

Table of Contents

Medicare in 2020 to 50% in 2025 and enjoys broad bipartisan political support. Within the Medicare market, we focus almost exclusively on value-based care payment models, which has potential market growth of greater than 30% annually. There has been a rapid shift toward value-based care within Medicare, as value-based care aligns incentives of providers, payers and patients, drives better care and superior patient experiences and allows providers to achieve profitability by improving member health outcomes. Despite this shift, only a few providers are currently able to effectively and efficiently supply this demand, and we are one of the leading value-based care providers in the nation.

Our Strengths

Putting members first: We focus on a Medicare-eligible population, which generally has consistent and clinically-cohesive needs and which we believe represents a population base where we can have the greatest positive impact while improving member outcomes. Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score, or NPS, which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction. Within the Medicare population that we serve, a majority are dual-eligible (i.e. eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid) — a complex population that accounts for a disproportionate amount of healthcare spending and is challenging to manage due to physical, behavioral and social issues that impact health. It is with this population, who traditionally lacks access to high-quality primary care and preventive services, where we have the greatest impact by creating customized care plans that directly address healthcare needs.

Our proprietary care management platform: CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, enables us to deliver superior clinical care. Our platform provides the healthcare providers at our medical centers with a 360-degree view of their members along with actionable insights to empower better care decisions and drive high member engagement. We leverage our technology to risk-stratify members and apply a highly personalized approach to primary care, chronic care, preventive care and members’ broader healthcare needs.

Clinical excellence: While our members tend to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, they have better outcomes as evidenced by lower mortality rates (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%, which represents a 45% improvement), fewer hospital stays (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370, which represents a 57% improvement) and fewer emergency room visits (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091, which represents a 59% improvement). In 2019, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, or HEDIS, quality score for our members, a tool used by health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service, was 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06.

Strong payer relationships: We predominantly enter into capitated contracts with the nation’s largest payers (including health plans and CMS) to provide holistic, comprehensive healthcare. We predominantly recognize defined per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS. Our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care rather than driving a high volume of services. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients — the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. Moreover, due to the clinical outcomes that we have achieved, we have been ranked as the top provider in our markets by multiple health plans. We have developed a special relationship with Humana Inc., or Humana, a market leader among Medicare Advantage plans. We are both the largest and highest quality provider for Humana in Florida, its largest Medicare Advantage market, serving more than 57,000 Humana members. We are working with Humana to

replicate our successful outcomes in other markets and have recently entered into expansion agreements with them which provides a roadmap to opening up to 50 new Humana-funded medical centers in the southwestern U.S. by 2024.

Multi-pronged growth strategy: We have experienced strong growth through our flexible, multi-pronged strategy in both new and existing markets. We have a proven track record of organic growth, having consistently grown membership approximately 40% organically annually between 2017 and 2020. We have successfully developed de novo medical centers, including 16 medical centers in the 24 months ended December 31, 2020. Organic growth has been further fueled by the selective conversion of our best-performing affiliates into Cano owned medical centers, and the purchase of locally adjacent practices that lead to new members and facilities. To date, purchases of these adjacent practices have been immaterial to our overall revenues and growth rates. This growth has been complemented by significant, highly accretive acquisitions that have enabled us to scale into new markets and build density in existing markets. Finally, direct contracting, a new delivery model in which CMS contracts directly with providers, represents a significant potential increase in the size of the value-based Medicare market.

Strong history of financial performance: We have experienced strong growth since completing our recapitalization in December 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we had total revenue of $364.4 million and $829.4 million, respectively. In the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we had a net loss of $16.2 million and $74.8 million, respectively.

Significant Challenges Face the Healthcare System Today

The healthcare system in the U.S. today faces many challenges. The U.S. spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country in the world, but its health outcomes are no better and, in many cases, worse than other comparable nations. The current U.S. healthcare model has significant shortcomings, with poor primary care access and experience, a lack of longitudinal engagement and care coordination for patients, poor use of data to effectively drive decision-making and physicians incentivized to provide higher quantities of procedures over quality of care. The U.S. suffers from lower relative spending on primary care, with approximately 6% of U.S. healthcare spending on primary care compared to an average of approximately 14% across the 37 member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). The result is inferior health outcomes, with preventive health services used at approximately 55% of the recommended rate, 18 million avoidable visits to U.S. emergency rooms each year, 28% of Americans with two or more chronic conditions compared to an 18% OECD average and an estimated $850 billion of wasted healthcare spending annually. Moreover, physician satisfaction with the current healthcare model is low. For example, 63% of referring physicians are dissatisfied with the referral process and 70% of specialists rate background information from referrals as fair or poor.

We believe that primary care is uniquely positioned to address these healthcare challenges. By sitting at the top of the funnel, primary care directly influences over $2 trillion of downstream annual healthcare spending in the U.S. For context, an average primary care physician, or PCP, directly generates only $500,000 of annual healthcare revenue, but influences $10 million of annual spending in the broader healthcare ecosystem.

Despite this very actionable opportunity to improve the healthcare ecosystem, the majority of PCP groups are not equipped to use their unique positioning to drive better health outcomes. The majority of the PCP landscape is made up of solo practitioners, small physician groups and independent practice associations that have limited ability to invest in technology, preventive medicine and population health management strategies to proactively manage risk and improve care coordination.

We Deliver Value-Based Primary Care to the Fastest Growing Market in Healthcare

While seniors have an option to select original fee-for-service Medicare, Medicare beneficiaries also have the option to receive enhanced Medicare benefits through private health plans via Medicare Advantage. In Medicare Advantage, CMS pays health plans a monthly sum per member to manage all health expenses of a participating member. This provides the health plans with an incentive to deliver lower-cost, high-quality care. Health plans in turn are incentivized to contract with provider groups that deliver superior patient outcomes and satisfaction levels to their members.

We believe that the traditional fee-for-service model does not optimally incentivize physicians — it incentivizes volume rather than quality, as physicians are paid solely based on the amount of healthcare services they deliver. This leads to less focus on preventive care and care coordination, which often results in inferior long-term health outcomes and ultimately higher healthcare costs for both payers and patients. Value-based care refers to the goal of incentivizing healthcare providers to simultaneously increase quality while lowering the cost of care. Value-based care is viewed by many as a superior payer model, as it aligns the incentives of (i) providers, (ii) payers, and (iii) patients, and drives better care and superior patient experiences. In a value-based care model, providers are able to achieve higher profitability by improving long-term member health outcomes.

As a result, there is a significant shift in Medicare today, from the traditional payment model to value-based care. Medicare Advantage is the fastest growing market in the healthcare industry serving seniors, due in part to an aging population and accelerated healthcare spend. According to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, over 10,000 seniors age into Medicare every day, increasing annual Medicare spending of $800 billion in 2020 to a projected $1,250 billion by 2025. Within Medicare, Medicare Advantage penetration is projected to grow from 34% in 2019 to 50% by 2025 at a compounded annual growth rate of 14%. Of the approximately 24.1 million beneficiaries in Medicare Advantage today, only an estimated 30% are currently enrolled in value-based care models, but this percentage is rapidly increasing, and is expected to experience greater than 30% annual growth.

The shift toward Medicare Advantage is driven by enhanced plan benefits and the superior cost-efficiency and quality offered relative to original fee-for-service Medicare. Because of increasing evidence that Medicare Advantage delivers better quality and cost outcomes relative to original fee-for-service Medicare, Medicare Advantage has broad bipartisan political support.

While CMS and Medicare Advantage plans seek value-based care providers to deliver care, few providers are able to effectively and efficiently supply this demand. We focus on capitated contracts where we can make the greatest impact. Our value-based model is predominantly driven by contractual arrangements with payers in which we recognize recurring per member per month capitated revenue. These payers include CMS and managed care organizations like Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Aetna (or their respective affiliates) and others contracted by CMS. In return, we are generally responsible for all of the healthcare costs of those members incurred at our primary care locations in addition to all third-party medical expenses (hospital visits, specialist services, surgical services, prescription drug costs, etc.). Given our history with capitated contracts, we have highly predictable member economics with respect to medical costs. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients — the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. Ultimately, we aim to keep our members healthy and eliminate waste of healthcare resources while delivering higher quality care with meaningfully differentiated results, all while sustaining very high member loyalty scores.

Well Positioned to Expand Care to Medicare-Eligible Beneficiaries in Underserved Communities

Our ten years of experience providing care in communities that suffer from poor access to primary care, low quality care and high amounts of unnecessary spending on healthcare position us well to expand into similar new



 

15


Table of Contents

markets. Approximately 50% of our members are dual-eligible, qualifying for both Medicare and Medicaid. These members tend to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, and often previously had limited access to quality healthcare.

Our value-based care can make the biggest difference when brought into these underserved communities who need it the most. We are consistently able to serve low-income communities efficiently and are among the only scaled primary care groups making an impact in these communities with a successful track record across multiple markets. Many people in these communities have very limited or no access to quality healthcare. We have added medical centers in economically depressed communities, contributing to their revitalization.

Many seniors choose Medicare Advantage because it offers superior benefits to members at lower overall cost to them. Value-based Medicare contracts (such as Medicare Advantage and new direct contracting programs by CMS) are therefore well suited to fixed-income seniors who cannot afford to incur the cost of either 20% co-payments required with fee-for-service Medicare or supplemental insurance coverage to cover such co-payments and certain other benefits that promote access to care and quality of care.

10+ Year History of Growth Becoming a National Platform

We were founded in 2009 by our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Marlow Hernandez, at the height of the Great Recession, to address the unmet need for high-quality, patient-centric care in his home community of Pembroke Pines, Florida. Since then, we have evolved into a national platform in response to strong patient, physician and payer demand. Our physician-led management team has been responsible for our success and remains committed to our vision to be the nation’s preeminent value-based primary care provider.

In 2016, we entered into a relationship with InTandem Capital Partners to provide financial support and guidance to fund platform investments and accelerate our growth. We have subsequently expanded our services from 2 markets in 2017 to 14 markets as of December 31, 2020, while growing membership from 13,685 members in 2017 to approximately 106,000 members as of December 31, 2020. Today, we are one of the largest and most sophisticated independent primary care platforms in the U.S., but still maintain significant growth runway. For context, in Florida, we maintain an approximately 2.9% share of the Medicare Advantage market and an approximately 1.4% share of the Medicare market as a whole and are rapidly expanding across multiple new markets.

The map below illustrates our current and near-term markets, and states which we have identified for potential future expansion. Our future expansion states share important factors with our current markets, including (i) Medicare population density, (ii) underserved demographics, (iii) existing payer relationships, (iv) patient acuity and (v) specialist and hospital access/capacity. We do not currently have definitive agreements in place to begin operating in any of the states we have identified for future expansion. We will likely need to raise additional capital to expand into these states.

Services Built Around Principles

We were established to offer high-quality, patient-centric primary care services that reduce costs for both healthcare payers and patients. We partner with healthcare payers, including health plans and the federal government, primarily under capitated contracts to manage all of the healthcare needs of our members. Our success is driven by a relentless focus on the “quadruple goal” of delivering low cost and high-quality care, with a great patient experience, all while developing lifelong bonds with members.

To meet the great challenge facing the healthcare system today and achieve the “quadruple goal,” we follow the following key principles:

 

   

Patient-Centered: We put members first. We show empathy and treat members like family. Every Cano Health associate takes responsibility for delivering first-class services.

 

   

Service-Focused: We show initiative at every opportunity and form enduring relationships with our members and our colleagues.

 

   

Results-Oriented: We are obsessive about clinical outcomes and collaborate to succeed as a team.

 

   

Trustworthy & Transparent: We always strive to do the right thing — ethically, legally and professionally.

 

   

Continuously Improving: We are persistent in our pursuit of excellence.

Our Approach

We are entering a new era in healthcare services where value-based care is delivered through an integrated model, which itself becomes a powerful differentiator. We believe that individualization, care coordination, analytics and risk management produce the best healthcare outcomes and results. With this in mind, we believe that we can simultaneously deliver value to patients, providers and payers.

 

   

Patients: Our members are offered services in modern, clean, contemporary medical centers, with same or next day appointments, integrated virtual care, wellness services, ancillary services (such as physiotherapy), home services, transportation, telemedicine and a 24/7 urgency line, all without additional cost to them. This broad-based care model is critical to our success in delivering care to members of low-income communities, including large minority and immigrant populations, with complex care needs, many of whom previously had very limited or no access to quality healthcare. We are proud of the impact we have made in these underserved communities.

 

   

Providers: We believe that providers want to be clinicians. Our employed physicians enjoy a collegial, near-academic environment and the tools and multi-disciplinary support they need to focus on medicine, their patients and their families rather than administrative matters like pre-authorizations, referrals, billing and coding. Our physicians receive ongoing training through regular clinical meetings to review the latest findings in primary care medicine. Furthermore, we offer above-average pay and no hospital call requirements. In addition, our physicians are eligible to receive a bonus based upon patient results, including the reduction in patient emergency room visits and hospital admission, among other metrics.

 

   

Payers: Payers want three things: high-quality care, membership growth and effective medical cost management. We have a multi-year and multi-geography track record of delivering on all three. Our proven track record of high-quality ratings increases the premiums paid by CMS to health plans, our quality primary-care-driven membership growth, and our scaled, highly professional value-based provider group can deliver quality care.

We enter into employment agreements with our employed providers to delivery services to patients. We also contract with independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization. We enter into Primary Care Physician Provider Agreements, with affiliated physicians pursuant to which we provide administrative services, including payer and specialty provider contract negotiation, credentialing, coding, and managed care analytics. We pay the affiliate a primary care fee and a portion of the surplus of premium in excess of third-party medical costs. The surplus portion paid to affiliates is recorded as direct patient expense. These administrative services arrangements are subject to state laws, including those in certain of the states where we operate, which prohibit the practice of medicine by, and/or the splitting of professional fees with, non-professional persons or entities such as general business corporations.

The Cano Health Care Delivery Platform

The key attributes of the Cano Health care delivery platform are:

CanoPanorama: To turn our principles into results that benefit our members, providers and the healthcare system as a whole, we have created a proprietary and scalable population health management platform known as CanoPanorama. Typically, information across the health system is fragmented and providers lack the resources or skills to get a complete picture regarding a patient. CanoPanorama is designed to solve this issue. It is a purpose-built population health management platform that provides analytics, reports and protocols that inform key care management activities by our employees and physicians. Through CanoPanorama, we have developed processes designed to ensure members receive the right care and physicians receive the right support by utilizing dynamic risk stratification and driving proactive member engagement. CanoPanorama efficiently integrates all member data into one consolidated and centralized repository. The population health management platform digests and produces information in a uniform way, providing reports and unique and personalized analytics that

Table of Contents

cover every aspect of patient care. Using CanoPanorama, we are able to generate a 360-degree view of our members, which empowers providers to make better care decisions and reduce gaps in care. Importantly, this allows providers to maintain health, not just treat disease.

Clinical excellence: While our members tend to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, they have better outcomes as evidenced by lower mortality rates (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%, which represents a 45% improvement), fewer hospital stays (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370, which represents a 57% improvement) and fewer emergency room visits (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091, which represents a 59% improvement). In 2019, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (the “HEDIS”) quality score for our members, a tool used by health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service, was 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06.

Patient focus: We focus on a Medicare-eligible population, particularly through the Medicare Advantage program. This population generally has consistent clinically-cohesive needs which, if properly managed, represents the greatest potential for improved health outcomes. Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score, or NPS, which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction. In addition to quality medical services and care management programs, we also provide members with social services to keep them active and engaged with others. Dental services and pharmacy delivery are available in many locations.

Relationships with leading health plans: We have established strong relationships with numerous health plans and are an essential component of their provider network. We are capable of delivering membership growth, clinical quality and medical cost management based on our care coordination strategy, differentiated quality metrics and strong relationships with members. We have established ourselves as a top-quality provider across multiple Medicare and Medicaid health plans including Humana, Anthem, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (or their respective affiliates). These plans and others are seeking further opportunities to expand their relationship with us beyond our current markets.

CanoPanorama, Our Proprietary and Scalable Population Health Management Platform

The backbone of our value-based care delivery platform is CanoPanorama, our purpose-built population health management system that provides analytics, reports, and protocols that inform key care management activities by our clinical and non-clinical employees and affiliate physicians. Through CanoPanorama, we have developed processes designed to ensure members receive the right care and physicians receive the right support by acting on dynamic risk stratification and proactive member engagement.

Our technology-powered model provides the healthcare providers at our medical centers with a 360-degree view of our members along with actionable insights to empower better care decisions and high member engagement. Using CanoPanorama at the time of member enrollment, we are able to identify different patient risk levels, which allows our primary care providers to design and establish more efficient and effective personalized care plans for our members. Following enrollment, CanoPanorama continues to collect data on members from multiple sources and allows our providers to proactively and dynamically deliver individualized care based on changes in the member’s health, all the while allowing us to create targeted campaigns for high-risk members. This allows us to risk stratify our members and apply a highly personalized approach to primary care, chronic care, preventive care and each member’s broader healthcare needs.

CanoPanorama efficiently integrates data from our electronic medical records, care management systems and payer partners into one consolidated and centralized repository. The population health management platform digests and produces information in a uniform way, providing reports and unique and personalized analytics. The system is designed to cover the entire patient care experience in and outside of our medical center locations and efficiently allows for end-to-end care coordination. For example, CanoPanorama can use social determinants of health to inform care coordination, support the 24/7 urgency line by routing data to other parts of the company, generate action based on algorithms that push alerts to trigger a visit from our Cano@Home service or home delivery of medication with protocols in place designed to ensure medication compliance, utilize data to encourage participation in our wellness program, Cano Life, and route alerts for hospital visits through connectivity with the hospital information exchange. These alerts allow our care managers to intervene immediately to work on discharge protocols as well as transitions of care.

Our clinical team develops a care plan for each member that takes into account their risk factors, health conditions and social determinants of health. Low-risk members receive a care plan that focuses on preventive and wellness activities. Medium and high-risk members receive targeted care plans that are customized to address their health needs.

The CanoPanorama system also enables us to establish rigorous measurement protocols across our company measuring everything from clinical results and member outcomes, to employee satisfaction, to transportation services and member satisfaction. The most important of these measures are included in the key performance indicator reports regularly monitored by our senior management team. This system enables us to take aggressive action where a score misses its objective target creating a cycle of continuous improvement. CanoPanorama also provides value to our employees and physicians by enabling efficient onboarding of employees, and offers support to physicians to optimize quality and utilization. Accordingly, CanoPanorama represents a consistent feedback loop that is constantly improving value to all stakeholders.

We Deliver Superior Clinical Results and Patient Satisfaction

We provide personalized care to each member by focusing on wellness and preventive care, care coordination and social determinants of health. Where acute care is needed, we ensure that we deliver the right care, in the right setting, at the right time. As described earlier, this is supported by our proprietary population health management platform, CanoPanorama, and our modern medical centers, through which we deliver superior clinical results. In 2019, our members received a HEDIS quality score of 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06. HEDIS is a national survey that provides a comprehensive set of standardized performance measures designed to provide purchasers and consumers with the information they need for reliable comparison of health plan performance. HEDIS measures relate to many significant public health issues, such as cancer, heart disease, smoking, asthma and diabetes. Given our average Medicare member age of 73 and the socioeconomic demographic of our member population, we are especially proud of this achievement.

Table of Contents

Our reimagined approach to caring for a patient population with a high prevalence of chronic conditions driven by our purpose-built CanoPanorama technology-powered platform has resulted in superior clinical outcomes. Examples of our clinical results among our members include:

 

   

45% lower mortality rate, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark mortality rate (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%)

 

   

57% lower hospital admits per thousand, as compared to the Medicare national average benchmark (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370)

 

   

59% lower ER visits per thousand, as compared to the Medicare national average benchmark (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091)

 

   

27% better than 5-star National Committee for Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) benchmark in diabetes treatment

 

   

14% better than 5-star NCQA benchmark in controlling high blood pressure

Our approach also delivers high member satisfaction. Our members enjoy highly personalized value-based care and their visits to our medical centers cover primary care and ancillary programs such as pharmacy and dental services, in addition to wellness and social services, which lead to healthier and happier members. By integrating member engagement and the Cano Life wellness program within the CanoPanorama platform, we also help foster long-term relationships with members. Resulting word-of-mouth referrals contribute to our high organic growth rates.

Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction.

Long-Standing Relationships and Preferred Provider with Leading Health Plans

We have established strong relationships with numerous health plans and are an essential component of their provider networks. In an industry shifting to value-based care, we are a sophisticated and proven solution of scale within a highly fragmented market. Health plans look to achieve three goals when partnering with a provider: membership growth, clinical quality and medical cost management. We are capable of delivering all three based on our care coordination strategy, differentiated quality metrics and strong relationships with members. We have established ourselves as a top-quality provider across multiple Medicare and Medicaid health plans including Humana, Anthem, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (or their respective affiliates), and these plans and others are seeking further opportunities to expand their relationship with us beyond our current markets.

We contract with health plans for globally capitated contracts. Under these contracts, we generally recognize a pre-negotiated percentage of the monthly premium health plans receive from CMS for each managed member. Payers are accelerating adoption of this model because it allows them to lock in a predictable and stable margin and pass off the associated risk of membership healthcare expenses to the provider. Moreover, partnering with sophisticated, scaled and high-quality providers like us allows health plans to achieve greater market share and higher quality scores, which are financially rewarded by CMS. Our relationships with our payer partners go back as many as ten years and are generally evergreen in nature. We are viewed as a critical distributer of effective healthcare with market-leading clinical outcomes (led by primary care), and as such we believe our payer relationships will continue to be enduring.

In particular, we are an important partner for Humana, a market leader among Medicare Advantage plans. In Florida, Humana’s largest Medicare Advantage market, we are Humana’s largest and highest quality primary care provider serving approximately 57,000 Humana members. Humana has indicated a strong desire to partner with sophisticated primary care providers in its other core markets, but in most of those markets, there is a scarcity of primary care providers that have our capabilities. Seeking a best-in-class, value-based provider partner to enhance its member retention, quality, margins and growth, Humana has entered into agreements with us that provide a roadmap to our opening up to 50 Humana-funded medical centers from 2020 to 2024. In 2020, pursuant to our expansion agreements with Humana, we opened four medical centers in San Antonio, Texas and three medical centers in Las Vegas, Nevada. Between 2021 and 2024, we intend to work with Humana to open additional medical centers in other cities across the southwestern U.S. Humana has been granted a right of first refusal on any sale, lease, license or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of assets, businesses, divisions or subsidiaries that constitute 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of, or any equity transaction (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, exchange offer, spin-off, split-off, reorganization or sale of securities) that results in a change of control of, PCIH, Seller, or the Company or its subsidiary, HP MSO, LLC.

Our Multi-Pronged Growth Strategy

Our flexible, multi-pronged development strategy in both existing and new markets is designed to promote rapid growth primarily through (i) ongoing organic growth in current markets, (ii) continued expansion into new markets across the nation, (iii) execution of our accretive acquisition strategy and (iv) our direct contracting opportunity.

Organic Growth in Current Markets

We have demonstrated consistent organic membership growth of approximately 40% annually between 2017 and 2020. Organic growth is driven by increasing capacity at existing medical centers, ramping new de



 

23


Table of Contents

novo medical centers, consolidating the best performing of our existing affiliates, and acquiring small nearby practices whose patients and facilities are blended with our nearby owned medical centers. Our existing medical centers in South Florida currently operate at approximately 50% of capacity, providing us with the ability to significantly increase our membership without the need for significant capital expenditures. In medical centers that are approaching full capacity, we are able to augment our footprint by expanding our existing medical centers, and by opening de novo centers or acquiring centers that are a more convenient “medical home” for our members. Importantly, we are able to leverage our affiliate providers to enhance growth in a very capital-efficient manner by acquiring the best-performing affiliates and adding these providers to new or existing medical centers. We are planning to build approximately 15 to 20 de novo medical centers annually. We will be required to raise additional capital through a new equity or debt financing or the incurrence of additional indebtedness to support these plans. We have historically successfully developed de novo medical centers, including 16 medical centers in the 24 months ended December 31, 2020. With our proven ability to leverage existing infrastructure and ramp up new medical centers quickly, our historical average time to breakeven for de novo centers that have achieved profitability to date has been four to six months.

Continued Expansion into New Markets

We have successfully entered into 12 new markets since 2017 and as of December 31, 2020 are operating in 14 markets in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico. When entering a new market, we tailor our entry strategy based on the characteristics of the specific market and provide a customized solution to meet that market’s needs. When choosing a market to enter, we look at various factors, including (i) Medicare population density, (ii) underserved demographics, (iii) existing payer relationships, (iv) patient acuity and (v) specialist and hospital access/capacity. We typically choose a location that is highly visible and accessible and then work to enhance brand development pre-entry. Our flexible medical center design allows us to adjust to local market needs by building medical centers that generally range from 7,000 to 20,000 square feet that may include ancillary services such as pharmacies and dental services. We seek to grow member engagement through targeted multi-channel marketing, community outreach and use of mobile clinics to expand our reach. When entering a new market, based on its characteristics and economics, we decide whether it makes most sense to buy existing medical centers, build de novo medical centers or to help manage members’ healthcare via affiliate providers. This highly flexible model enables us to choose the right solution for each market.

Execute on Accretive Acquisitions

We supplement our organic growth through our accretive acquisition strategy, which allows us to enter new markets, and extend our services. We have a successful acquisition and integration track record. For additional information regarding certain of our recent acquisitions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health — Key Factors Affecting Our Performance — Significant Acquisitions.” We have established a rigorous data-driven approach and the necessary infrastructure to identify, acquire and quickly integrate targets. We have a strong pipeline of acquisition targets and dedicated teams assigned to sourcing and integrating acquisitions. We not only integrate the new medical centers into our population health management system, CanoPanorama, but also invest in marketing, technology and operations for our acquired medical centers, which helps increase enrollment, improve documentation and coding and drive efficient workflows. We have also developed detailed processes and maintain dedicated teams for managing acquisition and integration activities. Our historical experience highlights our proven track record of fully integrating acquisitions within three to four months and achieving robust near-term earnings growth through operational improvements. We will be required to raise additional capital through new equity or debt financings or the incurrence of additional indebtedness to support our acquisition strategy.

Direct Contracting Opportunity

Direct contracting is a new delivery model in which CMS contracts directly with providers designated as Direct Contracting Entities, or DCEs, and is part of CMS’ strategy to drive broader healthcare reform and accelerate the shift from original fee-for-service Medicare toward value-based care models. A key aspect of direct contracting is providing new opportunities for a variety of different DCEs to participate in capitated arrangements in Medicare fee-for-service. Relative to existing initiatives, the payment model options also include a reduced set of quality measures that focuses more on outcomes and beneficiary experience than on process. Our wholly owned subsidiary, American Choice Healthcare, LLC, was one of 41 unique companies chosen by CMS as a DCE to participate in the Implementation Period of the Direct Contracting Model for Global and Professional Options, which runs from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The Implementation Period provides us an opportunity to prepare for the first Performance Year (PY1), which starts on April 1, 2021. We have been assigned to approximately 11,000 beneficiaries under this program. According to the industry group HCP-LAN, a shift toward value-based care for Medicare patients (e.g., direct contracting) may increase the share of Medicare value-based payments from 30% of total payments in 2020 to 100% by 2025, tripling the current value-based Medicare market to $800 billion.

Competition

We compete directly with national, regional and local providers of healthcare for members and physicians. There are many other companies and individuals currently providing healthcare services, many of which have been in business longer and/or have substantially more resources. There have been increased trends towards consolidation and vertical integration in the healthcare industry, including an influx of additional capital. Since there are virtually no substantial capital expenditures required for providing healthcare services, there are few financial barriers to entry in the healthcare industry. Other companies could enter the healthcare industry in the future and divert some or all of our business. Our ability to compete successfully varies from location to location and depends on a number of factors, including the number of competing primary care facilities in the local market and the types of services available at those facilities, our local reputation for quality care of members, the commitment and expertise of our medical staff, our local service offerings and community programs, the cost of care in each locality, and the physical appearance, location, age and condition of our facilities.

Impact of COVID-19

Despite operating in the worst pandemic in over 100 years, our recurring revenue model has allowed us to remain economically resilient throughout COVID-19 and the economic downturn resulting from the pandemic.

Once the outbreak gained momentum, we remained open and augmented our program, 24/7 urgency line and pharmacy home delivery to enable members to access needed care and support in their home. We successfully pivoted to a telemedicine offering for routine care in order to protect and better serve our members, staff and community. Our medical centers remained open for urgent visits and necessary procedures.

We made a conscious decision not to furlough any of our employees, even if their function was disrupted by COVID-19. We believe this decision has and will continue to engender loyalty from our employees and was in effect an investment in our staff and a meaningful demonstration of a corporate culture that values our employees, especially during times of heightened stress.

As COVID-19 cases grew nationally, we took immediate action and deployed a specific COVID-19 focused module under CanoPanorama that allows physicians to screen members for COVID-19 and related complications, as well as to refer them to a specialized team that is dedicated to helping COVID-19 members. The module includes 20 questions that were sent to members on a daily basis, collecting hundreds of thousands

of responses in the process. An algorithm then assessed the risk level of each member who responded and high-risk members were referred to our COVID-19 taskforce. The taskforce then employed updated algorithms and treatment tools to treat those members based on the latest guidance.

The net result of our actions translated to:

 

   

over 340,000 completed primary care physician visits (both in person and televisits) between March 23, 2020 and December 31, 2020 using CanoPanorama;

 

   

over 95% of primary care physician visits were conducted as televisits at the peak of COVID-19 in mid-April 2020; and

 

   

an approximately 60% lower mortality rate, based on a study we conducted comparing our managed care members with an age- and gender-matched mirror group in the state of Florida from April 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020.

Based on our experience operating in the COVID-19 environment, we have identified the following learnings and trends:

 

   

We are in a position to provide more services to members with our telemedicine and mobile health solutions, including Cano@Home, which increases member access to care and decreases the cost of service.

 

   

Being able to serve more members with telemedicine solutions creates additional touchpoints for us as well as additional opportunities to capture timely data regarding member medical conditions and needs. This provides more opportunities to trigger actions through CanoPanorama designed to enhance the well-being of our members.

 

   

We believe that many of our members will look for opportunities to reconnect in person with others after the crisis abates. Our wellness centers are designed to foster social interaction that members crave and we believe this will make our medical center offerings more attractive and result in increased enrollment of new members.

 

   

Based on the high scores in the member satisfaction surveys conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our member retention rates following the crisis will remain above industry norms.

The Parties to the Business Combination

Jaws

Jaws is a blank check company incorporated on December 27, 2019 (inception) as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third of a Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Jaws consummated the Private Placement of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15,800,000.

Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution the Domestication Proposal. As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Jaws Board has unanimously approved the Domestication Proposal. If approved, the Domestication will become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and will be effected by the filing of a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and a Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and the filing of an application to de-register with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of Jaws’ jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Jaws is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon Domestication, the Company will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

On the effective date of the Domestication and immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock; (ii) the issued and outstanding redeemable warrants that were registered pursuant to the IPO will automatically become redeemable warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions of the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding Public Warrants as a result of the Domestication); (iii) each issued and outstanding unit of Jaws not otherwise separated into the underlying Class A common stock of the Company and the corresponding one-third of a Public Warrant will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of the Class A common stock of the Company and one-third of a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions of the applicable warrant agreement; (iv) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of Jaws will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis without giving effect to any rights of adjustment or other anti-dilution protections, into one share of Class A common stock; and (v) the issued and outstanding warrants of Jaws issued in the Private Placement will automatically become warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions of the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding Private Placement Warrants as a result of the Domestication).

Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, Jaws will continue its existence in the form of a Delaware corporation and will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” Please read the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal” for further details.

Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) after completion of the Domestication, the Company will acquire certain equity interests of PCIH from the Seller, its sole member, by way of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, merging with and into PCIH and becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company as a result thereof. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Jaws Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Jaws Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for

Jaws’ IPO, including that the businesses of PCIH had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of execution of the Business Combination Agreement. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal.”

Business Combination Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws will effect the Business Combination with the Seller in exchange for the Seller receiving a combination of cash consideration and certain newly-issued shares of Class B common stock of the Company, which will have no economic value, but will entitle the Seller to one vote per issued share and will be issued on a one-for-one basis for each membership unit in PCIH retained by the Seller following the Business Combination, and retaining certain equity interests of PCIH. The cash consideration, the Class B common stock and the retained PCIH Common Units, collectively, constitute the Business Combination Consideration.

For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Consideration.”

Closing Conditions

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, among others: (a) the approval and adoption by Jaws’ shareholders of the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby; (b) if required, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); (c) the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) that is continuing as of the Closing; and (d) the Minimum Cash Condition is satisfied at the Closing.

Shareholder Proposal 5: The Charter Proposal

Jaws is proposing that its shareholders approve the amendment and restatement of the Existing Organizational Documents (as defined herein) in their entirety by the proposed Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, including authorization of the change in authorized share capital as indicated therein and the change of name of Jaws to “Cano Health, Inc.” We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 5: The Charter Proposal” of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Annex C.

Shareholder Proposal 6: The Organizational Documents Proposals

Jaws is proposing that its shareholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, seven separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents, under Cayman Islands law, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The Jaws Board has unanimously approved each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and believes such proposals are necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination. A brief summary of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

 

  A.

Organizational Documents Proposal 6A — An amendment to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of Jaws from (i) 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 40,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to (ii)              shares of Class A common stock,              shares of Class B common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock;

 

  B.

Organizational Documents Proposal 6B —  An amendment to authorize the Company Board to make future issuances of any or all shares of Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions and at such future dates as may be expressly determined by the Company Board and as may be permitted by the DGCL;

 

  C.

Organizational Documents Proposal 6C —  An amendment to authorize the adoption of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation; and

 

  D.

Organizational Documents Proposal 6D —  An amendment to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Existing Organizational Documents with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to be adopted as part of the Domestication (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), including (i) changing the post-Business Combination corporate name from “Jaws Acquisition Corp.” to “Cano Health, Inc.” (which is expected to occur after the Domestication in connection with the Business Combination), (ii) making the Company’s corporate existence perpetual, (iii) electing to not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and (iv) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which the Jaws Board believes are necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Organizational Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set forth in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 6: The Organizational Documents Proposals” and the full text of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, and the Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment. For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 7: The NYSE Proposal.”

Shareholder Proposal 8: The Adjournment Proposal

Jaws is proposing that if, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Shareholders Meeting to authorize Jaws to consummate the Business Combination (because any of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved), the Jaws Board may submit a proposal to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies. For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 8: The Adjournment Proposal.”

Each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Executive Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Neither the Organizational Documents Proposals, which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis only, nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

Jaws Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

PCIH’s plan for customized and efficient patient care;

 

   

PCIH’s creation of a proprietary techonology-enabled patient care platform;

For a more complete description of the Jaws Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination and the factors and risks considered by the Jaws Board, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Jaws Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Related Agreements

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

Effective as of immediately before the Effective Time, the limited liability company agreement of PCIH shall be amended and restated in its entirety to provide that PCIH’s outstanding membership interests will consist of PCIH Common Units and the Company will be admitted as the Managing Member of PCIH. Each holder of PCIH Common Units shall be entitled at any time to exchange all or any portion of its PCIH Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of Class B common stock, for a number of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of PCIH Common Units to be exchanged multiplied by (ii) an exchange rate which will initially be one to one but which will be subject to adjustment as set forth therein. In the event PCIH Common Units are exchanged for Class A common stock, Jaws’ shareholders may experience dilution. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws — Jaws’ shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance to the Seller of securities entitling it to a significant voting stake in the Company.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering Class A common stock for any PCIH Common Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per PCIH Common Unit equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock on the date of the receipt of the written notice of the exchange.

For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.”

Tax Receivable Agreement

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a party to a Tax Receivable Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an

Table of Contents

amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. The Company has recorded an estimated tax receivable liability of $33.3 million assuming (1) $465.3 million of cash paid to historical owners of PCIH, (2) a share price equal to $10.00 per share, (3) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (4) no material changes in tax law, (5) the ability to utilize tax attributes and (6) future tax receivable agreement payments. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. However, due to the uncertainty of various factors, including: (1) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (2) no material changes in tax law and (3) the ability to utilize tax attributes, the likely tax savings we will realize and the resulting amounts we are likely to pay pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are uncertain. If Seller were to exchange their PCIH equity interests for Company Class A common stock at Closing, the Company would recognize a liability of approximately $1,138.4 million.

For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Investor Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Seller and certain equityholders of the Company (including InTandem, Cano America, Sponsor and each of the directors and executive officers of the Company immediately after the Effective Time (the “Investors”) and the independent directors of Jaws (the “Jaws Directors”)) shall enter into the Investor Agreement pursuant to which the Investors and Jaws Directors are granted customary shelf, demand and piggy-back registration rights and the Investors and Jaws Directors agree not to transfer certain securities through the date that is six months from the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Agreement.”

Sponsor Letter Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Jaws, the Seller, PCIH and the Sponsor Parties entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H, pursuant to which the Sponsor Parties have agreed, among other things, to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Organizational Documents of Jaws, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in Jaws prior to the Closing Date, or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement. For additional information, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Table of Contents

The diagram below depicts a simplified version of our organizational structure immediately following the completion of the Domestication and the Business Combination.

 

LOGO

Our organizational structure following the completion of the Business Combination, as described above, is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership-C (or Up-C) corporation structure. This organizational structure will allow the Seller to retain its equity ownership in PCIH, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of PCIH Common Units. Those investors who, prior to the Business Combination, held Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares of Jaws will, by contrast, hold their equity ownership in Cano Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that the Seller will generally find it advantageous to continue to hold its equity interests in an entity that is not taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a holding company with no material assets other than its ownership of the PCIH Common Units and its managing member interest in PCIH. As a result, the Company will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. We do not believe that our Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic benefit or detriment to us. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws” for additional information on our organizational structure, including the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a party to a Tax Receivable Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax

Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. For more information on the Tax Receivable Agreement, please see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the Company Board will consist of nine members: Marlow Hernandez, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Barry Sternlicht, the Chairman of Jaws, Elliot Cooperstone, the Founder and Managing Partner of InTandem Capital and six independent directors. Please see the section entitled “Management of the Company Following the Business Combination.”

Ownership of Jaws and the Company

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws has an aggregate of 69,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and an aggregate of 33,533,333 Warrants issued and outstanding, which comprise the 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and the 23,000,000 Public Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock of the Company. Upon the consummation of the Domestication, Jaws’ ordinary shares will convert into common stock of the Company, as further described herein.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (1) Jaws’ Public Shareholders will own approximately 14.6% of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company, (2) the Seller will own 64.8% of the Class A common stock assuming that all of the PCIH Common Units held by the Seller are exchanged into shares of Class A common stock of the Company or 100% of the Class B common stock of the Company prior to such exchange, which such Class B common stock entitles it to voting power in the Company commensurate with its equity ownership in PCIH, (3) the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors (excluding the officers and directors of Jaws participating in the PIPE) are expected to own approximately 3.7% of the outstanding Class A common stock of the Company and (4) the PIPE Investors will own 16.9% of the Class A common stock of the Company, which includes 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by certain officers and directors of Jaws. These percentages (i) assume no Public Shareholders exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) do not take into account Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants to purchase Class A common stock of the Company that will be outstanding immediately following the completion of the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company will be different.

The following summarizes the pro forma ownership of Class A common stock of the Company following the Business Combination, including for the Seller those shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of the Seller’s PCIH Common Units into Class A common stock of the Company, under two scenarios:

The Shareholders Meeting

Date, Time and Place of Shareholders Meeting

The Shareholders Meeting will be held at 9 a.m., Eastern Time, on                      , 2021, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 50 Floor, New York, New York, 10022, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned, to consider and vote upon the Shareholder Proposals, including, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Shareholders Meeting, each of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved. As part of our precautions regarding COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility that the meeting may be held virtually over the Internet. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so via a press release and posting details on our website that will also be filed with the SEC as proxy material.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote

Jaws has fixed the close of business on                      , 2021, as the Record Date for determining the Jaws shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

As of the close of business on such date, there were 69,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The Class A ordinary shares and the Class B ordinary shares vote together as a single class, except in the election of directors, as to which only holders of Class B ordinary shares vote, and each share is entitled to one vote per share at the Shareholders Meeting. The Sponsor owns 17,175,000 Class B ordinary shares of Jaws. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement among Jaws, the Sponsor and Jaws’ directors and officers, (i) the 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors and (ii) any other ordinary shares of Jaws owned by the Sponsor or Jaws’ officers and directors will be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the Shareholders Meeting.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies with respect to the Shareholders Meeting may be solicited by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. Jaws has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Shareholders Meeting. A shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled “Shareholders Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote.”

Quorum and Vote Required for Approval

A quorum of Jaws shareholders is necessary to hold the Shareholders Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of Jaws shareholders representing a majority of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote on the Shareholder Proposals to be considered at the Shareholders Meeting will constitute a quorum for the Shareholders Meeting.

Each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is interdependent upon the others and must be approved in order for Jaws to complete the Business Combination as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. None of the Organizational Documents Proposals, which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis only, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. The Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws ordinary shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal will require a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Jaws ordinary shares as of the Record Date that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request of Jaws that Jaws redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

  (i)

(a) hold Public Shares, or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares;

 

  (ii)

submit a written request to the Transfer Agent, in which you (a) request that Jaws redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

 

  (iii)

deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by Jaws, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination or any other Shareholder Proposals and whether they held Public Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds Public Shares of Jaws on or before                     , 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders Meeting) will have the right to demand that his or her Public Shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $         million on                     , 2021 and including anticipated additional interest through the Closing (assuming interest accrues at recent rates and no additional tax payments

Table of Contents

are made out of the Trust Account), the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $        . A Public Shareholder that has properly tendered his, her or its Public Shares for Redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such Public Shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the Redemptions will be canceled and the tendered Public Shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate.

Jaws Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand Redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on                     , 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that Jaws redeem such Public Shareholder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for Redemption if such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as described in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ordinary shares of Jaws and (c) delivering their Public Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC System, at the Public Shareholder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the Shareholders Meeting. If a Public Shareholder holds the Public Shares in street name, such Public Shareholder will have to coordinate with his, her or its broker to have such Public Shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming Public Shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to Public Shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as described in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of Jaws’ Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by Jaws.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and officers and directors of Jaws have waived all of their Redemption Rights and will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any Jaws Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

Holders of the Public Warrants will not have Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Warrants.

For more information, see “Shareholders Meeting — Redemption Rights.

Appraisal Rights

Jaws’ shareholders will not have appraisal rights under Cayman Islands law or otherwise in connection with the Business Combination Proposal or the other Proposals.

Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Jaws Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Jaws’ directors and officers may have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Jaws shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

   

If Jaws does not complete an initial business combination transaction by May 18, 2022 (unless Jaws submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date), Jaws will cease all operations except

Table of Contents
 

for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of the Jaws Board and Jaws’ remaining shareholders, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable laws. In such event, the 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors would be worthless because, following the Redemption of the Public Shares, Jaws would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors have agreed, in the Sponsor Letter Agreement, to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Class B ordinary shares if Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the required period. The Sponsor purchased the Class B ordinary shares prior to Jaws’ IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.001 per share. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of $         million based upon the closing price of $         per share on NYSE on                     , 2021, the most recent closing price.

 

   

The Sponsor paid $15.8 million for its Private Placement of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares and such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if an initial business combination is not consummated by May 18, 2022.

 

   

Certain of the Jaws’ directors and officers have committed to purchase shares of Class A common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment.

 

   

Barry Sternlicht, Chairman of Jaws, is expected to be a director of the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination. As such, in the future, he may receive cash fees, stock options, stock awards or other remuneration that the Company Board determines to pay to its directors.

 

   

Jaws’ existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under Jaws’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

 

   

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Jaws if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Jaws, or a prospective target business with which Jaws has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below (i) $10.00 per public share (or such higher amount then held in trust) or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Jaws’ indemnity of the underwriters of Jaws’ IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

   

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Jaws’ officers and directors and their respective affiliates will be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur), and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Jaws from time to time, made by the Sponsor or certain of Jaws’ officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur). If Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Jaws’ officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement.

 

   

Pursuant to the Investor Agreement, the Sponsor and certain of Jaws’ directors and officers will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of Class A common stock and warrants of the Company held by such parties.

Table of Contents

Jaws’ directors and executive officers have agreed to vote all of their ordinary shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Shareholders Meeting and waive their redemption rights with respect to such ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Class B ordinary shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws’ directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, the Sponsor Parties or their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of such Public Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption Rights. In the event that the Sponsor Parties or their respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (1) holders of a majority as of the Record Date of the ordinary shares as of the Record Date, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) holders of a majority of at least two-thirds as of the Record Date of the ordinary shares as of the Record Date, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal, (3) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem and (4) Jaws’ net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Shareholders Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be submitted at the Shareholders Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Jaws’ directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he/she or they may believe is in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and what he/she or they may believe is best for himself/ herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Jaws’ officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Recommendation to Shareholders of Jaws

The Jaws Board has unanimously approved the Shareholder Proposals.

The Jaws Board unanimously recommends that shareholders:

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Domestication Proposal;

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal;

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal;

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Charter Proposal;

 

   

Vote “FOR” each of the Organizational Documents Proposals;

 

   

Vote “FOR” the NYSE Proposal; and

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The existence of any financial and personal interests of one or more of Jaws’ directors may be argued to result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of such interests and potential conflicts of interest.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following tables summarize the estimated sources and uses for funding the Business Combination assuming (i) that none of Jaws’ outstanding Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (“No Redemptions”) and (ii) that            of Jaws’ outstanding Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (representing the maximum amount of public shares that can be redeemed while still satisfying the Minimum Cash Condition (“Maximum Redemptions”). The number of Class A ordinary shares redeemable assuming Maximum Redemptions assumes that the per share Redemption Price is $        ; the actual per share Redemption Price will be equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

As discussed more fully under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders” below, the Domestication generally should constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the Code. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as Jaws, this result is not entirely clear. In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined in such section) of Jaws Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares, will generally not recognize any gain or loss and will generally not be required to include any part of Jaws’ earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Jaws Shares for shares in the Company (a Delaware corporation) pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amounts” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation



 

44


Table of Contents
 

may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Jaws Shares or Public Warrants for the common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation pursuant to the Domestication under the “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, rules of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging Public Warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Jaws Shares or Public Warrants surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because Jaws is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that Jaws likely is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants to recognize gain on the exchange of such shares or warrants for common stock or warrants of the Delaware Corporation pursuant to the Domestication, unless, in the case of only common stock, such U.S. holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Jaws Shares. A U.S. Holder cannot currently make the aforementioned elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Warrants. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Jaws. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.

For a description of the tax consequences for Public Shareholders exercising Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination, see the sections entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights” and “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.”

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders”) to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s Company shares after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, including with respect to Public Warrants, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.

Regulatory Approvals

The Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to any additional regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and Secretary of State of the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Domestication and (ii) filings required with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements applicable to Jaws, and the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including the requirement to file the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and to disseminate this proxy statement/prospectus to Jaws’ shareholders. Based on the anticipated pro-forma voting power of the Company, no filings are required under the HSR Act in connection with the Business Combination; however, such a filing may be required to the extent the anticipated pro forma ownership changes. Jaws must comply with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Domestication, including the filing with NYSE of a press release disclosing the Domestication, among other things.

Jaws is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in Jaws’ periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. Jaws has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, Jaws, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of Jaws’ financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Jaws’ IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Summary of Risk Factors

In evaluating the Proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section titled



 

46


Table of Contents

Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

Risks Relating to PCIH’s Business and the Company Following the Business Combination

 

   

Under most of our agreements with health plans, we assume some or all of the risk that the cost of providing services will exceed the compensation we receive in connection with the health plans.

 

   

Our revenues and operations are dependent upon a limited number of key existing payers and our continued relationship with those payers, and disruptions in those relationships (including renegotiation, non-renewal or termination of capitation agreements) or the inability of such payers to maintain their contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, could adversely affect our business.

 

   

COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

 

   

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and member satisfaction or adequately address competitive challenges.

 

   

We may not be able to identify suitable de novo expansion opportunities, engage with payers in new markets to continue extension of financial risk-sharing model agreements that have proved successful in our existing markets or cost-effectively develop, staff and establish such new medical centers in new markets.

 

   

We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquisitions, and acquisitions may not produce the intended results or may expose us to unknown or contingent liabilities.

 

   

We have no experience serving as a Direct Contracting Entity with CMS and may not be able to realize the expected benefits thereof.

 

   

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and if we fail to comply with applicable state and federal healthcare laws and government regulations or lose governmental licenses, we could incur financial penalties, become excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, be required to make significant operational changes or experience adverse publicity, which could harm our business.

 

   

The healthcare industry is highly competitive, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business would be harmed.

 

   

Our proprietary platform relies on third party vendors, and disruptions in those relationships or other failures of our platform could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business.

 

   

Data security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or our members, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

Risks Relating to the Business Combination and Jaws

 

   

The Sponsor has entered into a letter agreement with us to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

 

   

Jaws’ shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance to the Seller of securities entitling it to a significant voting stake in the Company.



 

47


Table of Contents
   

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to drop significantly, even if the Company’s business is doing well.

 

   

The ability of Jaws’ shareholders to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Jaws’ Public Shares may prevent Jaws from completing the Business Combination or optimizing its capital structure.

 

   

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the Company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

   

The Company’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the Company Board and PCIH’s key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the Company’s business following the Business Combination.

 

   

The Company will be a holding company and its only material asset after completion of the Business Combination will be its interest in PCIH, and it is accordingly dependent upon distributions made by its subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay dividends.

 

   

Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement the Company will be required to pay to the Seller 85% of the tax savings that the Company realizes as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to the extent payments are made to Seller and to each other person that becomes a “TRA Party” to the agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85, and those payments may be substantial.

SELECTED HISTORICAL COMBINED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA OF CANO HEALTH

The following tables summarize PCIH’s consolidated financial data. The summary consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the summary consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 are derived from PCIH’s audited consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The summary historical financial data below also includes references to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a performance metric that departs from GAAP because it excludes earnings components that are required under GAAP. Other companies may define non-GAAP financial measures differently and, as a result, PCIH’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to investors regarding PCIH’s results of operations that management believes is useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of PCIH’s business.

Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. You should read the summary historical financial data below in conjunction with the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health” and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth the historical comparative per share information of Jaws, on a stand-alone basis and the unaudited pro forma combined per share information for the year ended December 31, 2020, after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions and maximum redemptions.

The pro forma earnings information for the year ended December 31, 2020 were computed as if the Business Combination and the Private Placement had been completed on January 1, 2020.

The information in the following table should be read in conjunction with the selected historical financial information summary included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the historical financial statements of Jaws and PCIH and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the period presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of Jaws and PCIH would have been had the companies been combined during the period presented.

The following table sets forth:

unaudited pro forma per share information of the combined company for the year ended December 31, 2020 after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

 

   

The No Redemptions scenario assumes that no Jaws shareholders elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of the Closing is available for the Business Combination.

 

   

The Maximum Redemptions scenario assumes that Jaws’ shareholders redeem 44 million shares at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate payment of approximately $441.0 million of their Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

Q.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

 

A.

You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Shareholders Meeting of Jaws’ shareholders. Jaws is holding the Shareholders Meeting to consider and vote upon the Proposals described below. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Q.

What is being voted on at the Shareholders Meeting?

 

A.

Jaws’ shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the Domestication Proposal to change the corporate structure and domicile of Jaws by way of continuation from an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Domestication will be effected by Jaws filing a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and a Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and filing an application to de-register with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and all outstanding securities of Jaws will convert to outstanding securities of the Company, as described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus. In connection with the Domestication, and simultaneously with the Business Combination, Jaws will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” The Domestication will become effective immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The form of the proposed Delaware Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal.

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated thereby. The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things, Jaws will acquire certain PCIH Common Units, with Jaws continuing to operate as the Company and PCIH becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company. Shareholder approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is required by the Business Combination Agreement and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A and Jaws encourages its shareholders to read it in its entirety. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal.”

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal to adopt the Equity Incentive Plan. Among other things, the Equity Incentive Plan, which would become effective upon the completion of the Business Combination, is intended to maintain and strengthen the Company’s ability to attract and retain key employees, directors, consultants and certain other individuals providing services to the Company and to motivate them to remain focused on long-term shareholder value. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 3: The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.” A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex L, and Jaws encourages its shareholders to read the plan in its entirety.

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal to adopt the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Among other things, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which would become effective upon the completion of the Business Combination, is intended to attract, retain and motivate valued employees by providing them with an opportunity to acquire shares of Class A common stock. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 4: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal.” A copy of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex K, and Jaws encourages its shareholders to read the plan in its entirety.

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the amendment and restatement of the Existing Organizational Documents in their entirety by the new Certificate of Incorporation, assuming the Domestication Proposal is approved and adopted, and the filing with and acceptance by the Secretary of

 

53


Table of Contents

State of Delaware of the certificate of domestication in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, including the authorization of the change in authorized share capital as indicated therein and the change of name of Jaws to “Cano Health, Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination. The new Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is attached hereto as Annex C and Jaws encourages its shareholders to read it in its entirety. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 5: The Charter Proposal.”

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a non-binding advisory basis the Organizational Documents Proposals to approve certain material differences between the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents of the Company (a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware), assuming the Charter Proposal is approved and adopted. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 6: The Organizational Documents Proposals.”

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the NYSE Proposal. Our units, ordinary shares, and public warrants are listed on NYSE and, as such, we are seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the NYSE Listing Rule 312.03 of the issuance of shares of Class A common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, and the Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 7: The NYSE Proposal.

Jaws’ shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates, including, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if it is determined by Jaws that more time is necessary or appropriate to approve one or more Shareholder Proposals at the Shareholders Meeting. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 8: The Adjournment Proposal.”

The presence, in person or by proxy, of Jaws shareholders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares on the Record Date and entitled to vote on the Shareholder Proposals to be considered at the Shareholders Meeting will constitute a quorum for the Shareholders Meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.

 

Q.

Are the Shareholder Proposals conditioned on one another?

 

A.

Each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is interdependent upon the others and each must be approved in order for Jaws to complete the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. None of the Organizational Documents Proposals, which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis only, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. The Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Organization Documents Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws ordinary shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Charter Proposal and the Domestication Proposal will require a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws ordinary shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

 

Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Domestication?

 

A.

The Jaws Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Jaws to effect the Domestication to enable the Company to avoid certain taxes that would be imposed on the Company if the Company were to conduct an operating business in the United States as a foreign corporation following the Business Combination. In addition, the Jaws Board believes Delaware provides a recognized body of corporate law that will facilitate

 

54


Table of Contents
  corporate governance by the Company’s officers and directors. Delaware maintains a favorable legal and regulatory environment in which to operate. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging companies to incorporate there and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are regularly updated and revised to meet changing business needs. As a result, many major corporations have initially chosen Delaware as their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in a manner similar to the procedures Jaws is proposing. Due to Delaware’s longstanding policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and consequently its prevalence as the state of incorporation, the Delaware courts have developed a considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing the DGCL and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. It is anticipated that the DGCL will continue to be interpreted and explained in a number of significant court decisions that may provide greater predictability with respect to the Company’s corporate legal affairs.

The Domestication will not occur unless the Jaws shareholders have approved the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the NYSE Proposal and upon the Business Combination Agreement being in full force and effect prior to the Domestication. The Domestication will only occur upon the simultaneous completion of the Business Combination.

 

Q.

What is involved with the Domestication?

 

A.

The Domestication will require Jaws to file certain documents in both the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the Domestication, which will be the Closing Date, Jaws will cease to be a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and in connection with the Business Combination, Jaws will continue as a Delaware corporation and, simultaneously with the Business Combination, will change its corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will be replaced by the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and your rights as a shareholder will cease to be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and will be governed by Delaware law.

 

Q.

When do you expect that the Domestication will be effective?

 

A.

The Domestication is expected to become effective immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

 

Q.

How will the Domestication affect my securities of Jaws?

 

A.

Pursuant to the Domestication and the Business Combination and without further action on the part of Jaws’ shareholders, each outstanding Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share of Jaws will convert to one outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock. Although it will not be necessary for you to exchange your certificates representing ordinary shares after the Domestication, the Company will, upon request, exchange your Jaws share certificates for the applicable number of shares of Company’s Class A common stock, and all certificates for securities issued after the Domestication will be certificates representing securities of the Company.

 

Q.

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication to Holders of Jaws Shares and Warrants?

 

A.

As discussed more fully under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders” below, the Domestication generally should constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the Code. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of

 

55


Table of Contents
  Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as Jaws, this result is not entirely clear. In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined in such section) of Jaws Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares, will generally not recognize any gain or loss and will generally not be required to include any part of Jaws’ earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Jaws Shares for shares in the Company (a Delaware corporation) pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amounts” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Jaws Shares or Public Warrants for the common stock of the Delaware corporation pursuant to the Domestication under the “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, rules of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging Public Warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Jaws Shares or Public Warrants surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because Jaws is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that Jaws likely is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants to recognize gain on the exchange of such shares or warrants for common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation pursuant to the Domestication, unless, in the case of only common stock, such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Jaws Shares. A U.S. Holder cannot currently make the aforementioned elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Warrants. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Jaws. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. For a more complete discussion of the

potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders”) to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s Company shares after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, including with respect to Public Warrants, seeShareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.”

 

Q.

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Jaws Shares that exercise their Redemption Rights?

 

A.

As discussed more fully under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders” below, it is expected that a U.S. Holder (as defined in such section) that exercises its Redemption Rights to receive cash in exchange for its Company shares will generally be treated as selling such Company shares resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of Company shares that such U.S. Holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of warrants).

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption by any public shareholders, it is expected that U.S. Holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code and the potential tax consequences of the PFIC rules as a result of the Domestication.

For a description of the tax consequences for Holders of Jaws Shares exercising Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination, see the sections entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights” and “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders — Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.”

All holders of Jaws Shares considering exercising their Redemption Rights are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of Redemption Rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

 

Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Business Combination?

 

A.

Jaws was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Since Jaws’ organization, the Jaws Board has sought to identify suitable candidates in order to effect such a transaction. In its review of PCIH, the Jaws Board considered a variety of factors weighing positively and negatively in connection with the Business Combination. After careful consideration, the Jaws Board has determined that

 

57


Table of Contents
  the Business Combination presents a highly-attractive business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Jaws shareholders. The Jaws Board believes that, based on its review and consideration, the Business Combination with PCIH presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination will be achieved. Shareholder approval of the Business Combination is required by the Business Combination Agreement and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as well as to comply with NYSE Listing Rule 312.03.

 

Q.

What will happen in the Business Combination?

 

A.

The Business Combination consists of a series of transactions pursuant to which (i) Jaws will complete the Domestication and (ii) Jaws will acquire certain PCIH Common Units in the amounts set forth herein, with Jaws continuing to operate as the Company and PCIH becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company. Upon the completion of the Domestication and the Business Combination, each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share of Jaws will become a share of Class A common stock, and each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Jaws will become a warrant to purchase an equal number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company.

 

Q.

What consideration will the Seller receive in connection with the Business Combination?

 

A.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws will effect the Business Combination with the Seller in exchange for a combination of cash consideration, certain newly-issued equity interests of PCIH and newly-issued shares of Class B Common Stock of Jaws, which will have no economic value, but will entitle the Seller to one vote per issued share and will be issued on a one-for-one basis for each membership unit in PCIH retained by the Seller following the Business Combination. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination.”

Following the completion of the Business Combination, as described above, our organizational structure will be what is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership corporation (or Up-C) structure. This organizational structure will allow the Seller to retain its equity ownership in PCIH, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of PCIH Common Units. The Seller will also hold a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the number of PCIH Common Units held by the Seller, which will have no economic value, but which will entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company. Those investors who, prior to the Business Combination, held Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares of Jaws will, by contrast, hold their equity ownership in the Company, a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties agreed to structure the Business Combination in this manner for tax and other business purposes, and we do not believe that our Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic benefit or detriment. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws” for additional information on our organizational structure, including the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PCIH will provide unitholders in PCIH the right to exchange PCIH Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, for cash or an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain restrictions set forth therein.

 

Q.

What is the Tax Receivable Agreement?

 

A.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a party to a Tax Receivable Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of

 

58


Table of Contents
  certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. For more information on the Tax Receivable Agreement, please see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

 

Q.

What equity stake will current Jaws shareholders and the Seller hold in the Company immediately after the completion of the Business Combination?

 

A.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no Jaws shareholders exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their ordinary shares upon completion of the Business Combination and the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), the current holders of Jaws ordinary shares are expected to own shares of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock representing approximately     % of the voting power of the Company.

If any of Jaws’ shareholders exercise their Redemption Rights, the percentage of the Company’s outstanding voting stock held by the current holders of Jaws ordinary shares will decrease and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding voting stock held by the Seller will increase, in each case relative to the percentage held if none of the Jaws ordinary shares are redeemed.

The relative percentage above is for illustrative purposes only and is based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages.”

Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual beneficial ownership percentages may vary materially from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

 

Q.

Did the Jaws Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

 

A.

No. The Jaws Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. Jaws’ officers and directors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of Jaws’ advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Jaws Board in valuing PCIH’s business and assuming the risk that the Jaws Board may not have properly valued such business.

 

Q.

What will the Seller and Jaws receive in connection with the Business Combination?

 

A.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the Seller will (a) retain 305,741,594 PCIH Common Units and (b) receive 305,741,594 shares of Class B common stock, which will be non-economic voting stock of the Company and the Cash Consideration, and (ii) Jaws will (a) acquire 166,250,000 PC14 Common Units and (b) be appointed the managing member of PCIH. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Business Combination Consideration.

Table of Contents
Q.

What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

 

A.

Following the closing of our IPO, an amount equal to $690,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. At                , $                 was held in the Trust Account for the purposes of consummating an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur). These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination) or (2) the redemption of all of the public shares if we are unable to complete a business combination by May 18, 2022, subject to applicable law.

If our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) is paid for using equity or debt securities or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) or used for redemptions or purchases of the public shares, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the Company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our Business Combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

 

Q.

What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their Redemption Rights?

 

A.

Our Public Shareholders are not required to vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination in order to exercise their Redemption Rights, although redemption is only available if the Business Combination is consummated. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of PCIH and the Seller to consummate the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, that (x) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds available for release to Jaws from the Trust Account plus the aggregate proceeds actually received from the PIPE Investment, less (i) amounts required for the redemptions each holder of Public Shares of Jaws is entitled to (to the extent such holder elects to exercise such redemption rights), (ii) the aggregate amounts of certain liabilities of Jaws and (iii) the aggregate amount of fees and expenses payable by Jaws in connection with the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby that remain unpaid immediately prior to the Closing, shall be at least $1,025,000,000 and (y) the aggregate cash proceeds available for release to Jaws from the Trust Account (after giving effect to all redemptions of holders of Public Shares of Jaws entitled thereto) shall be an amount equal to at least $225,000,000 ((x) and (y) collectively, the “Minimum Cash Condition”). If this Minimum Cash Condition is not met, and such condition is not duly waived by the Seller, then the Business Combination Agreement could be terminated and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. The Business Combination Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of PCIH, the Seller and Jaws to consummate the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, Jaws having, after giving effect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of at least $5,000,001.

Additionally, as a result of redemptions, the trading market for the Class A common stock of the Company may be less liquid than the market for the Public Shares was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to meet the listing standards for NYSE or another national securities exchange.

Table of Contents
Q.

What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

 

A.

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, among others: (a) the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the NYSE Proposal by Jaws shareholders; (b) the Business Combination Agreement and applicable ancillary documents have been approved by the Seller; (c) the Business Combination Agreement and other applicable ancillary documents have been approved by the requisite Seller unitholders; (d) the waiting period under the HSR Act (or any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, if any, shall have expired or been terminated; (e) there shall not be any applicable law in effect that makes the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement illegal or any order in effect preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; (f) the Minimum Cash Condition shall be satisfied; (g) this Form S-4 shall have become effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, no stop order shall have been issued by the SEC and no proceeding seeking such stop order has been threatened or initiated by the SEC that remains pending; (h) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Effective Time; and (i) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) has occurred that is continuing.

For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled, “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions.”

 

Q.

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

 

A.

It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be completed in the first or second quarter of 2021. This timing depends, among other things, on the approval of the Shareholder Proposals to be presented at the Shareholders Meeting. However, the Shareholders Meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted at the Shareholders Meeting and Jaws elects to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if reasonably determined to be necessary or desirable by Jaws.

 

Q.

What happens if the Business Combination is not completed?

 

A.

If a Public Shareholder has tendered shares to be redeemed but the Business Combination is not completed, the Redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate. The current deadline set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association for Jaws to complete its initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) is May 18, 2022.

 

Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal?

 

A.

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to enable the Company to offer eligible employees, directors and consultants cash and other stock-based and other performance-based incentive awards in order to attract, retain and reward these individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interests between them and the Company’s stockholders. For more information, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 3: The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal?

 

A.

The purpose of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to attract, retain and motivate valued employees by providing them with an opportunity to acquire shares of Class A common stock. For more information, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 4: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal.

Table of Contents
Q.

What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of Jaws?

 

A.

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, Jaws’ shareholders also are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication, and replace our Existing Organizational Documents, in each case, under Cayman Islands law with the Proposed Organizational Documents, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Existing Organizational Documents in the following respects:

Table of Contents
Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

 

A.

Jaws is proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow the adjournment of the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates, including if necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if it is determined by Jaws that more time is necessary or appropriate to approve one or more Shareholder Proposals at the Shareholders Meeting. Please see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 8: The Adjournment Proposal” for additional information.

 

Q.

When and where will the Shareholders Meeting be held?

 

A.

The Shareholders Meeting will be held at 9 a.m., Eastern Time, on                     , 2021, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 50 Floor, New York, New York 10022, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. As part of our precautions regarding COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility that the meeting may be held virtually over the Internet. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so via a press release and posting details on our website that will also be filed with the SEC as proxy material. Only shareholders who held ordinary shares of Jaws at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

 

Q.

Who is entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting?

 

A.

Jaws has fixed                     , 2021 as the Record Date. If you were a shareholder of Jaws at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the Shareholders Meeting.

 

Q.

How do I vote?

 

A.

If you are a record owner of your shares, there are two ways to vote your Jaws Shares at the Shareholders Meeting:

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Jaws Board “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the NYSE Proposal, the Charter Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal (if presented). Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Shareholders Meeting will not be counted.

You Can Attend the Shareholders Meeting and Vote in Person. When you arrive, you will receive a ballot that you may use to cast your vote.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the Shareholders Meeting and vote in person and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way Jaws can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

 

Q.

What if I do not vote my Jaws Shares or if I abstain from voting?

 

A.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the outstanding Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposals are voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. The Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal will require a special

 

64


Table of Contents
  resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Shareholder Proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on the Shareholder Proposals, your Jaws Shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

 

Q.

What Proposals must be passed in order for the Business Combination to be completed?

 

A.

The Business Combination will not be completed unless the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Proposal and the NYSE Proposal are approved. If Jaws does not complete an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) by May 18, 2022, Jaws will be required to dissolve and liquidate itself and return the monies held within its Trust Account to its Public Shareholders unless Jaws submits and its shareholders approve an extension.

 

Q.

How does the Jaws Board recommend that I vote on the Proposals?

 

A.

The Jaws Board unanimously recommends that the holders of Jaws’ ordinary shares entitled to vote on the Shareholder Proposals, vote as follows:

“FOR” approval of the Domestication Proposal;

“FOR” approval of the Business Combination Proposal;

“FOR” approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal;

“FOR” approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal

“FOR” approval of the Charter Proposal;

“FOR” approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals;

“FOR” approval of the NYSE Proposal; and

FOR” approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

 

Q.

How many votes do I have?

 

A.

Jaws shareholders have one vote per each ordinary share of Jaws held by them on the Record Date for each of the Shareholder Proposals to be voted upon.

 

Q.

Why is Jaws proposing the Organizational Documents Proposals?

 

A.

Jaws is requesting that its shareholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation that materially affect shareholder rights. This separate vote is not required by Cayman Islands law separate and apart from the Charter Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, Jaws is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. However, the shareholder vote regarding this proposal is an advisory vote, and is not binding on Jaws and the Jaws Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal). Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 6 The Organizational Documents Proposals” for additional information.

Table of Contents
Q.

How will the Sponsor and Jaws’ officers and directors vote in connection with the Shareholder Proposals?

 

A.

As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors owned of record an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares, representing approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Jaws Shares. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and Jaws’ directors and officers have agreed to vote the ordinary shares owned by them (including the Class B ordinary shares) in favor of the Shareholder Proposals. The Sponsor and Jaws’ officers and directors, as of the Record Date, have not acquired any Jaws ordinary shares during or after our IPO in the open market. However, any subsequent purchases of Jaws ordinary shares prior to the Record Date by the Sponsor or Jaws’ officers and directors in the aftermarket will make it more likely that the Shareholder Proposals will be approved as such shares would be voted in favor of the Shareholder Proposals. As of the Record Date, there were 86,250,000 ordinary shares of Jaws outstanding.

 

Q.

Do I have Redemption Rights with respect to my Jaws Shares?

 

A.

Under Section 49.5 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, prior to the completion of the Business Combination, Jaws will provide all of the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed upon the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable Redemption Price; provided, however, that Jaws may not redeem such shares to the extent that such Redemption would result in Jaws having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 upon the completion of the Business Combination.

Public Shareholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, whether or not they were holders of Jaws ordinary shares as of the Record Date or acquired their shares after the Record Date. The Redemptions will be effectuated in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law. Any Public Shareholder who holds ordinary shares of Jaws on or before                     , 2021 (two business days before the Shareholders Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid, at the completion of the Business Combination; provided that such Public Shareholders follow the procedures provided for exercising such Redemption as set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as described below, by such date. However, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of Public Shareholders exercising Redemption Rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal and whether such holders are holders of Jaws ordinary shares as of the Record Date. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the Business Combination is completed. For more information, see “Shareholders Meeting — Redemption Rights.

 

Q.

May the Sponsor, Jaws’ directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

 

A.

The Sponsor and Jaws’ directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Jaws Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or after the Closing, including from Jaws shareholders who would have otherwise exercised their Redemption Rights. However, the Sponsor, directors, officers and their affiliates have no current commitments or plans to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, other than certain directors and officers of Jaws in connection with the PIPE Investment. If Jaws engages in such transactions, any such purchases will be subject to limitations regarding possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller of such shares and they will not

 

66


Table of Contents
  make any such purchases if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Any such purchase after the Record Date would include a contractual acknowledgement that the selling shareholder, although still the record holder of Jaws Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption Rights. In the event the Sponsor or Jaws’ directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account.

 

Q.

Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

 

A.

Each Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by Jaws. Any Public Shareholder who holds less than 15% of the Public Shares may have all of the Public Shares held by him or her redeemed for cash.

 

Q.

How do I exercise my Redemption Rights?

 

A.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you seek to have your shares redeemed, you must (i) demand, no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on                     , 2021 (two business days before the Shareholders Meeting), that Jaws redeem your shares for cash, (ii) affirmatively certify in your request to Jaws’ Transfer Agent for Redemption if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) and (iii) submit your request in writing to Jaws’ Transfer Agent, at the address listed at the end of this section and deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Jaws’ Transfer Agent physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system at least two business days prior to the vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a Public Shareholder, may not be withdrawn once submitted to the company unless the Board of Directors of the company determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). In addition, if you deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms for Redemption to Jaws’ Transfer Agent and later decide prior to the Shareholders Meeting not to elect Redemption, you may request that Jaws’ Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Jaws’ Transfer Agent at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written demand of Redemption Rights must be received by Jaws’ secretary two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Shareholders Meeting. No demand for Redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their Redemption Rights and opting to deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is Jaws’ understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, Jaws does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If a Public Shareholder properly demands Redemption as described above, then, if the Business Combination is completed, Jaws will redeem the shares subject to the Redemptions for cash. Such amount will be paid promptly after completion of the Business Combination. If you exercise your Redemption Rights, then you will be exchanging your Jaws Shares for cash and will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you exercise your Redemption Rights, it will not result in either the exercise or loss of any Jaws warrants that you may hold. Your Jaws warrants will continue to be outstanding following a Redemption of your Jaws Shares and will become exercisable in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

If you intend to seek Redemption of your Public Shares, you will need to deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to Jaws’ Transfer Agent prior to the meeting, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If you have questions regarding the certification of your position or delivery of your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms, please contact:

Q.

If I am a holder of Units, can I exercise Redemption Rights with respect to my Units?

 

A.

No. Holders of issued and outstanding Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares. If you hold your Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if you hold Units registered in your own name, you must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. The Redemption Rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem its shares. You are requested to cause your Public Shares to be separated and delivered to the Transfer Agent by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on                     , 2021 (two business days before the Shareholders Meeting) in order to exercise your Redemption Rights with respect to your Public Shares.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all the following risk factors, together with all of the other information in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial information, before deciding how to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of your investment following the completion of the Business Combination will be subject to significant risks affecting, among other things, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the events described below occur, the Company’s post-Business Combination business and financial results could be adversely affected in material respects. This could result in a decline, which may be significant, in the trading price of the Company’s securities and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors described below are not necessarily exhaustive and you are encouraged to perform your own investigation with respect to the businesses of Jaws and PCIH.

Risks Related to PCIH’s Business and the Company Following the Business Combination

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “Cano Health,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to PCIH and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination and to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Our Business

Under most of our agreements with health plans, we assume some or all of the risk that the cost of providing services will exceed our compensation.

Approximately 94.4% and 95.7% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, is capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. While there are variations specific to each agreement, we generally contract with health plans to receive recurring per member per month revenue and assume the financial responsibility for the healthcare expenses of our members. This type of contract is referred to as a “capitation” contract. To the extent that members require more care than is anticipated and/or the cost of care increases, aggregate fixed compensation amounts, or capitation payments, may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with treatment. If medical costs and expenses exceed estimates, except in very limited circumstances, we will not be able to increase the fee received under these capitation agreements during their then-current terms and we could suffer losses with respect to such agreements. While we maintain stop-loss insurance for our members, protecting us for medical claims per episode in excess of certain levels, future claims could exceed our applicable insurance coverage limits or potential increases in insurance premiums may require us to decrease our level of coverage.

Changes in our anticipated ratio of medical expense to revenue can significantly impact our financial results. Accordingly, the failure to adequately predict and control medical costs and expenses and to make reasonable estimates and maintain adequate accruals for incurred but not reported claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additionally, the Medicare expenses of our members may be outside of our control in the event that members take certain actions that increase such expenses, such as unnecessary hospital visits.

Historically, our medical costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue have fluctuated. Factors that may cause medical expenses to exceed estimates include:

 

   

the health status of our members;

 

   

higher levels of hospitalization among our members;

 

69


Table of Contents
   

higher than expected utilization of new or existing healthcare services or technologies;

 

   

an increase in the cost of healthcare services and supplies, whether as a result of inflation or otherwise;

 

   

changes to mandated benefits or other changes in healthcare laws, regulations and practices;

 

   

increased costs attributable to specialist physicians, hospitals and ancillary providers;

 

   

changes in the demographics of our members and medical trends;

 

   

contractual or claims disputes with providers, hospitals or other service providers within and outside a health plan’s network;

 

   

the occurrence of catastrophes, major epidemics or pandemics, including COVID-19, or acts of terrorism; and

 

   

the reduction of health plan premiums.

Our revenues and operations are dependent upon a limited number of key existing payers and our continued relationship with those payers, and disruptions in those relationships (including renegotiation, non-renewal or termination of capitation agreements) or the inability of such payers to maintain their contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, could adversely affect our business.

Our operations are dependent on a concentrated number of payers with whom we contract to provide services to members. Contracts with three such payers accounted for approximately 69.8% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 and approximately 67.1% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. Contracts with three such payers accounted for approximately 61.8% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately 44.1% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. The loss of revenue from these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We believe that a majority of our revenues will continue to be derived from a limited number of key payers, who may terminate their contracts with us or our physicians credentialed by them for convenience on short term notice, or upon the occurrence of certain events. The sudden loss of any of our payer partners or the renegotiation of any of our payer contracts could adversely affect our operating results. In particular, we have recently entered into expansion agreements with Humana which provide a roadmap to opening up to 50 new Humana-funded medical centers in the southwestern U.S. by 2024, Humana may decline to fund additional medical centers, which would have an adverse effect on our growth and future prospects. In the ordinary course of business we engage in active discussions and renegotiations with payers in respect of the services we provide and the terms of our payer agreements. As the payers’ businesses respond to market dynamics and financial pressures, and as payers make strategic business decisions in respect of the lines of business they pursue and programs in which they participate, certain of our payers may seek to renegotiate or terminate their agreements with us. These discussions could result in reductions to the fees and changes to the scope of services contemplated by our original payer contracts and consequently could negatively impact our revenues, business and prospects.

These discussions could result in reductions to the fees and changes to the scope of services contemplated by our original payer contracts and consequently could negatively impact our revenues, business and prospects.

Because we rely on a limited number of payers for a significant portion of our revenues, we depend on the creditworthiness of these payers. Our payers are subject to a number of risks, including reductions in payment rates from governmental programs, higher than expected health care costs and lack of predictability of financial

results when entering new lines of business, particularly with high-risk populations. If the financial condition of our payer partners declines, our credit risk could increase. Should one or more of our significant payer partners declare bankruptcy, be declared insolvent or otherwise be restricted by state or federal laws or regulation from continuing in some or all of their operations, this could adversely affect our ongoing revenues, the collectability of our accounts receivable, our bad debt reserves and our net income. If a plan with which we contract loses its Medicare contracts with CMS, receives reduced or insufficient government reimbursement under the Medicare program, decides to discontinue its Medicare Advantage, or MA, and/or commercial plans, decides to contract with another company to provide capitated care services to its members, or decides to directly provide care, our contract with that plan could be at risk and we could lose revenue.

Under most of our capitation agreements with health plans, the health plan is generally permitted to modify the benefit and risk obligations and compensation rights from time to time during the terms of the agreements. If a health plan exercises its right to amend its benefit and risk obligations and compensation rights, we are generally allowed a period of time to object to such amendment. If we so object, under some of the capitation agreements, either party may terminate the applicable agreement upon a certain period of prior written notice. If we enter into capitation contracts with unfavorable economic terms, or a capitation contract is amended to include unfavorable terms, we could suffer losses with respect to such contract. Since we do not negotiate with CMS or any health plan regarding the benefits to be provided under their plans, we often have just a few months to familiarize ourselves with each new annual package of benefits we are expected to offer. Depending on the health plan at issue and the amount of revenue associated with the health plan’s capitation agreement, the renegotiated terms or termination could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Although we have contracts with many payers, these contracts may be terminated before their term expires for various reasons, such as changes in the regulatory landscape and poor performance by us, subject to certain conditions. Certain of our contracts are terminable immediately upon the occurrence of certain events. Certain of our contracts may be terminated immediately by the partner if we lose applicable licenses, go bankrupt, lose our liability insurance or receive an exclusion, suspension or debarment from state or federal government authorities. Additionally, if a payer were to lose applicable licenses, go bankrupt, lose liability insurance, become insolvent, file for bankruptcy or receive an exclusion, suspension or debarment from state or federal government authorities, our contract with such payer could in effect be terminated. In addition, certain of our contracts may be terminated immediately if we become insolvent or file for bankruptcy. If any of our contracts with our payers is terminated, we may not be able to recover all fees due under the terminated contract, which may adversely affect our operating results. If any of these contracts were terminated, certain members covered by such plans may choose to shift to another primary care provider within their health plan’s network. Moreover, our inability to maintain our agreements with health plans with respect to their members or to negotiate favorable terms for those agreements in the future could result in the loss of members and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and business.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or other pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and rapidly changing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain. Furthermore, because of our business model, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial condition until future periods.

Numerous state and local jurisdictions, including all markets where we operate, have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in

 

71


Table of Contents

periods of remote operations at our headquarters and medical centers, work stoppages among some vendors and suppliers, slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions and cancellation of events and have restricted the ability of our front-line outreach teams to host and attend community events, among other effects, thereby negatively impacting our operations. Other disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions on the ability of our personnel to travel; inability of our suppliers to manufacture goods and to deliver these to us on a timely basis, or at all; inventory shortages or obsolescence; delays in actions of regulatory bodies; diversion of or limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the operations of our business, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with groups of people; business adjustments or disruptions of certain third parties; and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and spread of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. In addition, the COVID-19 virus disproportionately impacts older adults, especially those with chronic illnesses, which describes many of our members.

It is not currently possible to reliably project the direct impact of COVID-19 on our operating revenues and expenses. Key factors include the duration and extent of the outbreak in areas in which we operate as well as societal and governmental responses. Members may continue to be reluctant to seek necessary care given the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, we experienced a year over year decrease in utilization of services during March through December of 2020 and utilization may be impacted by future changes in COVID-19 infection rates. This could have the effect of deferring healthcare costs that we will need to incur in later periods and may also affect the health of members who defer treatment, which may cause our costs to increase in the future. Further, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience slowed growth or a decline in new member demand. We also may experience increased internal and third-party medical costs as we provide care for members suffering from COVID-19. This increase in costs may be particularly significant given the significant number of our members who are under capitation agreements. We may also incur liabilities related to our operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, in May 2020, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, seeking records relating to our prescription of hydroxychloroquine during the early days of the pandemic. We reached an agreement with DOJ to make a partial production of documents related to the matter, which we fulfilled in July 2020. We have not had any further interactions with DOJ on this matter. Further, we may face increased competition due to changes to our competitors’ products and services, including modifications to their terms, conditions, and pricing that could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations, and overall financial condition in future periods.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made operational changes to the staffing and operations of our medical centers to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19. If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, especially in regions where we have offices or medical centers, our business activities originating from affected areas could be adversely affected. Disruptive activities could include business closures in impacted areas, further restrictions on our employees’ and service providers’ ability to travel, impacts to productivity if our employees or their family members experience health issues, and potential delays in hiring and onboarding of new employees. We are unable to predict the effect that an increased focus on providing COVID-19 vaccines to our members may have on our operations or our financial results. We may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by local, state, or federal authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees. Such measures could negatively affect our sales and marketing efforts, employee productivity or member retention, any of which could harm our financial condition and business operations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not be able to document the health conditions of our members as completely as we have in the past. Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual member. Payers with higher acuity members receive more, and those with lower acuity members receive less. Medicare requires that a patient’s health issues be documented annually regardless of the permanence of the underlying causes. Historically, this documentation was required to be completed during an in-person visit with a patient. As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and

 

72


Table of Contents

Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, Medicare is allowing documentation for conditions identified during video visits with patients. However, given the disruption caused by COVID-19, it is unclear whether we will be able to document the health conditions of our members as comprehensively as we did in 2019, which may adversely impact our revenue in future periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause our third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud computing platform providers, which are critical to our infrastructure, to shut down their business, experience security incidents that impact our business, delay or disrupt performance or delivery of services, or experience interference with the supply chain of hardware required by their systems and services, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in our employees and those of many of our vendors working from home and conducting work via the internet, and if the network and infrastructure of internet providers becomes overburdened by increased usage or is otherwise unreliable or unavailable, our employees’, and our vendors’ employees’, access to the internet to conduct business could be negatively impacted. Limitations on access or disruptions to services or goods provided by or to some of our suppliers and vendors upon which our platform and business operations relies, could interrupt our ability to provide our platform, decrease the productivity of our workforce, and significantly harm our business operations, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our platform and the other systems or networks used in our business may experience an increase in attempted cyber-attacks, targeted intrusion, ransomware, and phishing campaigns seeking to take advantage of shifts to employees working remotely using their household or personal internet networks and to leverage fears promulgated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of any of these unauthorized attempts could substantially impact our platform, the proprietary and other confidential data contained therein or otherwise stored or processed in our operations, and ultimately our business. Any actual or perceived security incident also may cause us to incur increased expenses to improve our security controls and to remediate security vulnerabilities.

The extent and continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and future results will depend on certain developments, including: the duration and spread of the outbreak; government responses to the pandemic; the impact on our members; the availability and efficacy of a vaccine; the impact on industry, or employee events; and the effect on our partners and supply chains, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Because of our business model, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial condition until future periods.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, including but not limited to those relating to cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities, interruptions or delays due to third parties or our ability to raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows necessary to fulfill our obligations under our existing indebtedness or to expand our operations.

Reductions in the quality ratings of the health plans we serve or our Medicare Risk Adjustment scores could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, or the ACA, the level of reimbursement each health plan receives from CMS is dependent, in part, upon the quality rating of the Medicare plan. Under the Medicare Advantage plans’ star rating system, lower star ratings correspond to lower quality ratings. Such ratings impact the percentage of any cost savings rebate and any bonuses earned by such health plan. Since a significant portion of our revenue is expected to be calculated as a percentage of CMS reimbursements received by these health plans with respect to our members, reductions in the quality ratings of a health plan that we serve could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Given each health plan’s control of its local plans and the many other providers that serve such plans, we believe that we will have limited ability to influence the overall quality rating of any such plan. The Balanced

 

73


Table of Contents

Budget Act passed in February 2018 implemented certain changes to prevent artificial inflation of star ratings for Medicare Advantage plans offered by the same organization. In addition, CMS has terminated plans that have had a rating of less than three stars for three consecutive years, whereas Medicare Advantage plans with five stars are permitted to conduct enrollment throughout almost the entire year. Because low quality ratings can potentially lead to the termination of a plan that we serve, we may not be able to prevent the potential termination of a contracting plan or a shift of members to other plans based upon quality issues which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our medical centers are concentrated in certain geographic regions, which makes us sensitive to regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive conditions in those regions.

As of December 31, 2020 we provide care for our approximately 106,000 members across 14 markets, through our 222 employed providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) at our 71 owned medical centers and more than 500 affiliate providers of which 96,279 members and 11 markets were in Florida, with the remainder in Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico. Such geographic concentration makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive conditions in the state of Florida. Any material changes in those factors in Florida could have a disproportionate effect on our business and results of operations. Due to the concentration of our operations in Florida, our business may be adversely affected by economic conditions that disproportionately affect Florida as compared to other states. In addition, our exposure to many of the risks described herein are not mitigated by a diversification of geographic focus.

Moreover, regions in and around the southeastern United States commonly experience hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. As a result, certain of our medical centers, especially those in Florida, are susceptible to physical damage and business interruption from an active hurricane season or a single severe storm. Moreover, global climate change could increase the intensity of individual hurricanes or the number of hurricanes that occur each year. Even if our facilities are not directly damaged, we may experience considerable disruptions in our operations due to property damage or electrical outages experienced in storm-affected areas by our members, physicians, payers, vendors and others. Additionally, long-term adverse weather conditions, whether caused by global climate change or otherwise, could cause an outmigration of people from the communities where our medical centers are located. If any of the circumstances described above occurred, there could be a harmful effect on our business and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

As we expand into new markets in new states we must comply with a variety of health regulatory and other state laws. In California, for example, pursuant to the Knox-Keene Act, a risk bearing organization (“RBO”) (i) contracts directly with a healthcare service plan or arranges for healthcare services for the healthcare service plan’s enrollees; (ii) receives compensation for those services on any capitated or fixed periodic payment basis; and (iii) is responsible for the processing and payment of claims made by providers for services rendered by those providers on behalf of a healthcare service plan when those services are covered under the capitation or fixed periodic payment made by the plan to the RBO. If we expand our business to California, our business may meet the definition of an RBO, which would require us to register with the California Department of Managed Healthcare, meet certain solvency requirements, submit quarterly and annual financial reports (which will be publicly available), and submit quarterly survey reports.

We primarily depend on reimbursements by third-party payers, as well as payments by individuals, which could lead to delays and uncertainties in the reimbursement process.

The reimbursement process is complex and can involve lengthy delays. Although we recognize revenue when we provide services to our members, we may from time to time experience delays in receiving the associated capitation payments or, for our members on fee-for-service arrangements, the reimbursement for the service provided. In addition, third-party payers may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on determinations that the member is not eligible for coverage, certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage or were for services provided that were not medically necessary or additional supporting

documentation is necessary. Retroactive adjustments may change amounts realized from third-party payers. As described below, we are subject to claims reviews and/or audits by such payers, including governmental audits of our Medicare claims, and may be required to repay these payers if a finding is made that we were incorrectly reimbursed. Delays and uncertainties in the reimbursement process may adversely affect accounts receivable, increase the overall costs of collection and cause us to incur additional borrowing costs. Third-party payers are also increasingly focused on controlling healthcare costs, and such efforts, including any revisions to reimbursement policies, may further complicate and delay our reimbursement claims.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CMS has made several changes in the manner in which Medicare will pay for telehealth visits, many of which relax previous requirements, including site requirements for both the providers and patients, telehealth modality requirements and others. State law applicable to telehealth, particularly licensure requirements, has also been relaxed in many jurisdictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These relaxed regulations have allowed us to continue operating our business and delivering care to our members predominantly through telehealth modalities. While CMS in its December 1, 2020 Annual Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule permanently added to the list of telehealth services, it is still unclear which, if any, of these changes will remain in place permanently and which will be rolled-back following the COVID-19 pandemic or at a later date. If regulations change to restrict our ability to or prohibit us from delivering care through telehealth modalities, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and plan for our future growth. We opened our first medical center in 2009, and our relationship with InTandem Capital Partners to provide financial support and guidance to fund platform investments and accelerate our growth began in 2016. We have encountered and will continue to encounter significant risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by new and growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments for our limited resources, competition from other providers, acquiring and retaining members, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel, determining prices for our services, unforeseen expenses, challenges in forecasting accuracy and successfully integrating practices that we acquire. Although we have successfully expanded our medical center footprint outside of Florida and intend to continue to expand into new geographic locations, we cannot provide assurance that any new medical centers we open or new geographic locations we enter will be successful. If we are unable to increase our member enrollment, successfully manage our third-party medical costs or successfully expand into new member services, our revenue and our ability to achieve and sustain profitability would be impaired. Additional risks include our ability to effectively manage growth, process, store, protect and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation, contractual obligations and other legal obligations related to privacy and security and manage our obligations as a provider of healthcare services under Medicare and Medicaid. If our assumptions regarding these and other similar risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change as we gain more experience operating our business or due to changes in our industry, or if we do not address these challenges successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer.

We expect to continue to increase our headcount and to hire more physicians, nurses and other specialized medical personnel in the future as we grow our business and open new medical centers. We will need to continue to hire, train and manage additional qualified information technology, operations and marketing staff, and improve and maintain our technology and information systems to properly manage our growth. If our new hires perform poorly, or if we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, managing and integrating these new employees, or if we are not successful in retaining our existing employees, our business may be adversely affected.

We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis since our inception. We incurred net losses of $8.5 million, $16.2 million, and $74.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020 was $99.9 million. We expect our aggregate costs will increase substantially in the foreseeable future and our losses will continue as we expect to invest heavily in increasing our member base, expanding our operations, hiring additional employees and operating as a public company. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. Our cash flows from operating activities were negative for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. We may not generate positive cash flow from operating activities in any given period, and our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and our future prospects.

We depend on our senior management team and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain other highly skilled employees could harm our business.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our senior management team and other key employees. We rely on our leadership team in the areas of operations, provision of medical services, information technology and security, marketing, compliance and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. Our employment agreements with our executive officers and other key personnel do not require them to continue to work for us for any specified period and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss (including as a result of a COVID-19 infection) of one or more of the members of our senior management team, or other key employees, could harm our business. In particular, the loss of the services of our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Marlow Hernandez, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. Changes in our executive management team may also cause disruptions in, and harm to, our business.

Changes in the payer mix of members and potential decreases in our reimbursement rates could adversely affect our revenues and results of operation.

The amounts we receive for services provided to members are determined by a number of factors, including the payer mix of our members and the reimbursement methodologies and rates utilized by our members’ plans. Reimbursement rates are generally higher for capitation agreements than they are under fee-for-service arrangements, and capitation agreements provide us with an opportunity to capture any additional surplus we create by investing in preventive care to keep a particular member’s third-party medical expenses low. Under a capitated payer arrangement, we receive recurring per member per month revenue and assume the financial responsibility for the healthcare expenses of our members. Under a fee-for-service payer arrangement, we collect fees directly from the payer as services are provided. Approximately 94.4% and 95.7% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively is capitated revenue, with the remainder being fee-for-service and other revenue. A significant decrease in the number of capitation arrangements could adversely affect our revenues and results of operation.

The healthcare industry has also experienced a trend of consolidation, resulting in fewer but larger payers that have significant bargaining power, given their market share. Payments from payers are the result of negotiated rates. These rates may decline based on renegotiations and larger payers have significant bargaining power to negotiate higher discounted fee arrangements with healthcare providers. As a result, payers increasingly are demanding discounted fee structures or the assumption by healthcare providers of all or a portion of the financial risk related to paying for care provided through capitation agreements.

Via our management services organization relationships, we have relationships with affiliated independent physicians and group practices that we do not own or control to provide healthcare services, and our business could be harmed if a material number of those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with such providers become subject to legal challenges, liabilities or reputational harm.

In addition to our owned medical centers, we also provide practice management and administrative support services to independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization relationships, which we refer to as our affiliate providers. Our affiliate providers allow us to partner with independent physicians and group practices and provides them access to components of our population health platform. As of December 31, 2020, we maintained relationships with over 500 affiliate providers. As in the case of our owned medical centers, we receive per member per month capitated revenue and a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS. We pay the affiliate a primary care fee and a portion of the surplus of premium in excess of third-party medical costs. The surplus portion paid to affiliates is recorded as direct patient expense. However, we do not own our affiliated centers and our affiliated physicians are not our employees, and we have limited control over their operations. Accordingly, we do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by our affiliated physicians, including, but not limited to, quality and cost of care. Our affiliated physicians and physician groups may not maintain standards of evidence-based medical practice and population health management that are consistent with our standards. If a material number of those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with such providers become subject to legal challenges, liabilities or reputational harm, our business could be harmed.

There are risks associated with estimating the amount of revenue that we recognize under our capitation agreements with health plans, and if our estimates of revenue are materially inaccurate, it could impact the timing and the amount of our revenue recognition or have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

There are risks associated with estimating the amount of revenues that we recognize under our capitation agreements with health plans in a reporting period. Medicare pays capitation using a risk adjusted model, which compensates payers based on the health status, or acuity, of each individual member. Payers with higher acuity members receive a higher payment and those with lower acuity members receive a lower payment. Moreover, some of our capitated revenues also include adjustments for performance incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain clinical quality metrics as contracted with payers. Our capitated revenues are recognized based on projected member acuity and quality metrics and are subsequently adjusted to reflect actual member acuity and quality metrics. Our ability to accurately project and recognize member acuity and quality metric adjustments are affected by many factors. For instance, our ability to accurately project member acuity and quality metrics may be more limited in the case of medical centers operating in new markets or which were recently acquired.

In addition, the billing and collection process is complex due to ongoing insurance coverage changes, geographic coverage differences, differing interpretations of contract coverage, and other payer issues, such as ensuring appropriate documentation. Determining applicable primary and secondary coverage for our members, together with the changes in member coverage that occur each month, requires complex, resource-intensive processes. Errors in determining the correct coordination of benefits may result in refunds to payers. Collections, refunds and payer retractions typically continue to occur for up to three years and longer after services are provided. If our estimates of revenues are materially inaccurate, it could impact the timing and the amount of our revenue recognition and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A failure to accurately estimate incurred but not reported medical expense could adversely affect our results of operations.

Patient care costs include estimates of future medical claims that have been incurred by the patient but for which the provider has not yet billed. Our accrual for medical services incurred but not reported reflects our best

Table of Contents

estimates of unpaid medical expenses as of the end of any particular period. These claim estimates are made utilizing standard actuarial methodologies and are continually evaluated and adjusted by management based upon our historical claims experience and other factors, including regular independent assessments by a nationally recognized actuarial firm. Adjustments, if necessary, are made to medical claims expense and capitated revenues when the assumptions used to determine our claims liability change and when actual claim costs are ultimately determined.

Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with the factors used in these estimates and changes in the patterns and rates of medical utilization, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements for a particular period under different conditions or using different, but still reasonable, assumptions. It is possible that our estimates of this type of claim may be inadequate in the future. In such event, our results of operations could be adversely impacted. Further, the inability to estimate these claims accurately may also affect our ability to take timely corrective actions, further exacerbating the extent of any adverse effect on our results of operations.

Negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry generally could adversely affect our results of operations or business.

Negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry generally, or the Medicare Advantage program in particular, may result in increased regulation and legislative review of industry practices that further increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our results of operations or business by:

 

   

requiring us to change or increase our products and services provided to members;

 

   

increasing the regulatory, including compliance, burdens under which we operate, which, in turn, may negatively impact the manner in which we provide services and increase our costs of providing services;

 

   

adversely affecting our ability to market our products or services through the imposition of further regulatory restrictions regarding the manner in which plans and providers market to Medicare Advantage enrollees; or

 

   

adversely affecting our ability to attract and retain members.

We lease all of our facilities and may experience risks relating to lease termination, lease expense escalators, lease extensions and special charges.

We currently lease or license all of our medical centers. Generally, our lease or license agreements provide that the lessor may terminate the lease, subject to applicable cure provisions, for a number of reasons, including the defaults in any payment of rent, taxes or other payment obligations, the breach of any other covenant or agreement in the lease. Termination of certain of our lease agreements could result in a cross-default under our debt agreements or other lease agreements. If a lease agreement is terminated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into a new lease agreement on similar or better terms or at all.

Our lease obligations often include annual fixed rent escalators or variable rent escalators based on a consumer price index. These escalators could impact our ability to satisfy certain obligations and financial covenants. If the results of our operations do not increase at or above the escalator rates, it would place an additional burden on our results of operations, liquidity and financial position.

As we continue to expand and have leases or licenses with different start dates, it is likely that some number of our leases and licenses will expire each year. Our lease or license agreements often provide for renewal or extension options. There can be no assurance that these rights will be exercised in the future or that we will be able to satisfy the conditions precedent to exercising any such renewal or extension. In addition, if we are unable to renew or extend any of our leases or licenses, we may lose all of the facilities subject to that master lease

agreement. If we are not able to renew or extend our leases or licenses at or prior to the end of the existing lease terms, or if the terms of such options are unfavorable or unacceptable to us, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected.

Leasing facilities pursuant to binding lease or license agreements may limit our ability to exit markets. For instance, if one facility under a lease or license becomes unprofitable, we may be required to continue operating such facility or, if allowed by the landlord to close such facility, we may remain obligated for the lease payments on such facility. We could incur special charges relating to the closing of such facility, including lease termination costs, impairment charges and other special charges that would reduce our profits and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our failure to pay the rent or otherwise comply with the provisions of any of our lease agreements could result in an “event of default” under such lease agreement and agreements for our indebtedness. Upon an event of default, remedies available to our landlords generally include, without limitation, terminating such lease agreement, repossessing and reletting the leased properties and requiring us to remain liable for all obligations under such lease agreement, including the difference between the rent under such lease agreement and the rent payable as a result of reletting the leased properties, or requiring us to pay the net present value of the rent due for the balance of the term of such lease agreement. The exercise of such remedies would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

If certain of our suppliers do not meet our needs, if there are material price increases on supplies, if we are not reimbursed or adequately reimbursed for drugs we purchase or if we are unable to effectively access new technology or superior products, it could negatively impact our ability to effectively provide the services we offer and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have significant suppliers that may be the sole or primary source of products critical to the services we provide, including our primary providers of pharmaceutical drugs and pharmacy supplies. If any of these suppliers do not meet our needs, including in the event of a product recall, shortage or dispute, and we are not able to find adequate alternative sources, if we experience material price increases from these suppliers (for instance, increases in the wholesale price of generic drugs) that we are unable to mitigate, or if some of the drugs that we purchase are not reimbursed or not adequately reimbursed by commercial or government payers, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, the technology related to the products critical to the services we provide is subject to new developments which may result in superior products. If we are not able to access superior products on a cost-effective basis or if suppliers are not able to fulfill our requirements for such products, we could face member attrition and other negative consequences which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our pharmacy business is subject to governmental regulations, procedures and requirements; our noncompliance or a significant regulatory change could adversely affect our business, the results of our operations or our financial condition.

Our pharmacy business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations. Changes in these regulations may require extensive system and operating changes that may be difficult to implement. Untimely compliance or noncompliance with applicable regulations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties that could adversely affect the continued operation of our pharmacy business, including: (i) suspension of payments from government programs; (ii) loss of required government certifications; (iii) loss of authorizations or changes in requirements for participating in, or exclusion from government reimbursement programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs; (iv) loss of licenses; or (v) significant fines or monetary penalties. The regulations to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, federal, state and local registration and regulation of pharmacies; dispensing and sale of controlled substances and products containing

pseudoephedrine; applicable Medicare and Medicaid regulations; HIPAA; regulations relating to the protection of the environment and health and safety matters, including those governing exposure to and the management and disposal of hazardous substances; regulations enforced by the U. S. Federal Trade Commission, HHS and the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) as well as state regulatory authorities, governing the sale, advertisement and promotion of products we sell; state and federal anti-kickback laws; false claims laws and federal and state laws governing the practice of the profession of pharmacy. We are also governed by federal and state laws of general applicability, including laws regulating wages and hours, working conditions, health and safety and equal employment opportunity. If we are unable to successfully provide pharmacy services, we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of our value-based care model where members have access to both primary care and ancillary programs such as pharmacy services at our medical centers, which may have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

The continued conversion of various prescription drugs, including potential conversions of a number of popular medications, to over-the-counter medications may reduce our pharmacy sales and customers may seek to purchase such medications through other channels. Also, if the rate at which new prescription drugs become available slows or if new prescription drugs that are introduced into the market fail to achieve popularity, our pharmacy sales may be adversely affected. The withdrawal of certain drugs from the market or concerns about the safety or effectiveness of certain drugs or negative publicity surrounding certain categories of drugs may also have a negative effect on our pharmacy sales or may cause shifts in our pharmacy product mix.

Certain risks are inherent in providing pharmacy services; our insurance may not be adequate to cover any claims against us.

Pharmacies are exposed to risks inherent in the packaging and distribution of pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products, such as with respect to improper filling of prescriptions, labeling of prescriptions, adequacy of warnings, unintentional distribution of counterfeit drugs and expiration of drugs. In addition, federal and state laws that require our pharmacists to offer counseling, without additional charge, to customers about medication, dosage, delivery systems, common side effects and other information the pharmacists deem significant can impact our pharmacy business. Our pharmacists may also have a duty to warn customers regarding any potential negative effects of a prescription drug if the warning could reduce or negate these effects. Although we maintain professional liability and errors and omissions liability insurance, from time to time, claims result in the payment of significant amounts, some portions of which are not funded by insurance. We cannot assure you that the coverage limits under our insurance programs will be adequate to protect us against future claims, or that we will be able to maintain this insurance on acceptable terms in the future. Our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be adversely affected if in the future our insurance coverage proves to be inadequate or unavailable or there is an increase in liability for which we self-insure or we suffer reputational harm as a result of an error or omission.

We will be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Humana, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, which could impede our growth and adversely impact the potential value of the Company.

We will be subject to an Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal Agreement, or ROFR Agreement, entered into among Humana, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, or Humana, and PCIH, Seller and the Company upon completion of the Business Combination. Under the ROFR Agreement, Humana has been granted a right of first refusal on any sale, lease, license or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of assets, businesses, divisions or subsidiaries that constitute 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of, or any equity transaction (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, exchange offer, spin-off, split-off, reorganization or sale of securities) that results in a change of control of, PCIH, Seller, or the Company or its subsidiary, HP MSO, LLC. If exercised, Humana would have the right to acquire the assets or equity interests by matching the terms of the proposed sale transaction.

The ability of Humana to elect to exercise its right of first refusal may limit or impede the Company’s ability to conduct its business on the terms and in the manner it considers most favorable, which may adversely

affect its future growth opportunities. The existence of the right of first refusal may also deter potential acquirors from seeking to acquire the Company. If potential acquirors are deterred from considering an acquisition of it, the Company may receive less than fair market value acquisition offers or may not receive acquisition offers at all, which might have a substantial negative effect on the value of your investment in the Company and may impact the long-term value, growth and potential of the Company.

Our overall business results may suffer from an economic downturn.

During periods of high unemployment, governmental entities often experience budget deficits as a result of increased costs and lower than expected tax collections. These budget deficits at federal, state and local government entities have decreased, and may continue to decrease, spending for health and human service programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and similar programs, which represent significant payer sources for our medical centers together with payers with whom we contract to provide health plans to our members.

Risks Related to Our Growth

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and member satisfaction or adequately address competitive challenges.

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth and organizational change, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. Additionally, our organizational structure may become more complex as we improve our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We may require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of valuable management resources to grow and change in these areas. We must effectively increase our headcount and continue to effectively train and manage our employees. We will be unable to manage our business effectively if we are unable to alleviate the strain on resources caused by growth in a timely and successful manner. If we fail to effectively manage our anticipated growth and change, the quality of our services may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to attract and retain members and employees.

In addition, as we expand our business, it is important that we continue to maintain a high level of member service and satisfaction. As our member base continues to grow, we will need to expand our medical, member services and other personnel and our network of partners to provide personalized member service. If we are not able to continue to provide high quality medical care with high levels of member satisfaction, our reputation, as well as our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we continue to hire additional personnel, expand our operations and infrastructure, and continue to expand to reach more members. In addition to the expected costs to grow our business, we also expect to incur additional legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses as a newly public company. These investments may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If our growth rate were to decline significantly or become negative, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all and/or which could be dilutive to our stockholders. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

We may not be able to identify suitable de novo expansion opportunities, engage with payers in new markets to continue extension of financial risk-sharing model agreements that have proved successful in our existing markets or cost-effectively develop, staff and establish such new medical centers in new markets.

Our business strategy is to grow rapidly by expanding our network of medical centers and is significantly dependent on opening new medical centers in new geographic locations, recruiting new clinicians and members and partnering or contracting with payers, existing medical practices or other healthcare providers to provide primary care services. We seek growth opportunities both organically and through acquisitions or other partnerships with payers or other primary care providers. To continue to expand our operations to other regions of the United States, we will have to devote resources to identifying and exploring such perceived opportunities.

Our ability to grow depends upon a number of factors, including recruiting new members, entering into contracts with additional payers, establishing new relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers, identifying appropriate facilities, recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, obtaining leases and completing internal build-outs of new facilities within proposed timelines and budgets. We anticipate that further geographic expansion will require us to make a substantial investment of management time, capital and/or other resources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to successfully expand our operations in any new geographic markets.

Our growth strategy in new markets involves a number of risks and uncertainties, including that:

 

   

we may not be able to successfully enter into contracts with local payers on terms favorable to us or at all, including as a result of competition for payer relationships with other potential players, some of whom may have greater resources than we do, which competition may intensify due to the ongoing consolidation in the healthcare industry;

 

   

we may not be able to recruit or retain a sufficient number of new members to execute our growth strategy, and we may incur substantial costs to recruit new members and we may be unable to recruit a sufficient number of new members to offset those costs;

 

   

we may not be able to hire sufficient numbers of physicians and other staff and may fail to integrate our employees, particularly our medical personnel, into our care model;

 

   

per-member revenue in new markets may be lower than in our existing markets, including as a result of geographic cost index-based adjustments by CMS;

 

   

we may not be able to hire sufficient numbers of physicians and other staff and may fail to integrate our employees, particularly our medical personnel, into our care model;

 

   

when expanding our business into new states, we may be required to comply with laws and regulations that may differ from states in which we currently operate; and

 

   

depending upon the nature of the local market, we may not be able to implement our business model in every local market that we enter; for example, we may be unable to offer all services that we offer in our current markets (e.g., transportation), which could negatively impact our revenues and financial condition.

We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in pursuing our growth strategy. If we fail to evaluate and execute new business opportunities properly, we may not achieve anticipated benefits and may incur increased costs, which may negatively impact our business model, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquisitions, and acquisitions may not produce the intended results or may expose us to unknown or contingent liabilities.

Making selected acquisitions of complementary medical centers, physicians and group practices and successfully integrating them has been an important part of our growth to date, having completed 23 transactions

 

82


Table of Contents

since 2017, and we expect it to be a part of our strategy going forward. However, in the future, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. In order to complete such strategic transactions, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments and acquisitions. Should we need to do so, we may not be able to secure such financing, or obtain such financing on favorable terms due to general market conditions or the volatile nature of the healthcare marketplace. Should we issue equity securities as consideration in any acquisition, such issuance may be dilutive to shareholders and the acquisition may not produce our desired results.

Even if we are successful in making an acquisition, the business that we acquire may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than we originally anticipated. We may expend extensive resources on an acquisition of a particular business that we are not able to successfully integrate into our operations, if at all, or where our expectations with respect to customer demands are not met.

Our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of both historical and future acquisitions will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the businesses we acquire. Integrating and coordinating aspects of the operations and personnel of acquisitions with ours involves complex operational and personnel-related challenges. This process is time-consuming and expensive, disrupts the businesses of both our business and the acquired business and may not result in the full benefits expected by us, including cost synergies expected to arise from operational efficiencies and overlapping general and administrative functions.

The potential difficulties, and resulting costs and delays, include:

 

   

managing a larger combined company and consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures;

 

   

the inability to realize expected synergies and cost-savings;

 

   

difficulties in managing geographically dispersed operations, including risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;

 

   

underperformance of any acquired business relative to our expectations and the price we paid;

 

   

negative near-term impacts on financial results after an acquisition, including acquisition-related earnings charges;

 

   

the assumption or incurrence of additional debt obligations or expenses, or use of substantial portions of our cash;

 

   

the issuance of equity securities to finance or as consideration for any acquisitions that dilute the ownership of our stockholders;

 

   

claims by terminated employees and shareholders of acquired companies or other third parties related to the transaction;

 

   

problems maintaining uniform procedures, controls and policies with respect to our financial accounting systems;

 

   

unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems; and

 

   

risks associated with acquiring intellectual property, including potential disputes regarding acquired companies’ intellectual property.

Additionally, the integration of operations and personnel may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The attention of our management may be directed towards integration considerations and may be diverted from our day-to-day business operations, and matters related to the integration may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might

have been beneficial to us and our business. The diversion of management’s attention, and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel in order to execute our growth plan.

Competition for highly qualified personnel is intense, especially for physicians and other medical professionals who are experienced in providing care services to older adults. We have, from time to time, experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies and healthcare providers with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies or healthcare providers, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees or we have breached certain legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed. Many of our senior employees are subject to non-competition and non-solicitation agreements with us. However, the enforceability of non-competition agreements may differ from state to state and by circumstance and if any of our non-competition agreements was found to be unenforceable, our business and growth prospects could be harmed.

If we are unable to attract new members, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, our business strategy is to expand the number of medical centers in our network. In order to support such growth, we must continue to recruit and retain a sufficient number of new members. We are focused on the Medicare-eligible population and face competition from other primary healthcare providers in the recruitment of Medicare-eligible potential members. If we are unable to convince the Medicare-eligible population of the benefits of our platform or if potential or existing members prefer the care provider model of one of our competitors, we may not be able to effectively implement our growth strategy, which depends on our ability to grow organically by attracting new members and retaining existing members. In addition, our growth strategy is dependent in part on patients electing to move from fee-for-service to capitated arrangements and selecting us as their primary care provider under their plan. The majority of plan enrollment selections are made during an annual enrollment period from November into December of each year; therefore, our ability to grow our member population with capitation arrangements is dependent in part on our ability to successfully recruit members during the annual enrollment period and to convince these patients to select us as their primary care provider and not subsequently change that election. Our inability to recruit new members and retain existing members, particularly those under capitation arrangements, would harm our ability to execute our growth strategy and may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial position.

We have no experience serving as a Direct Contracting Entity with CMS and may not be able to realize the expected benefits thereof.

The CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation recently announced a direct contracting model set to begin in 2021 to create value-based payment arrangements directly with Direct Contracting Entities, or DCEs, which is part of CMS’ strategy to drive broader healthcare reform and accelerate the shift from original Medicare toward value-based care models. A key aspect of direct contracting is providing new opportunities for a variety of different DCEs to participate in value-based care arrangements in Medicare fee-for-service. Our wholly owned subsidiary, American Choice Healthcare, LLC, was one of 41 unique companies chosen by CMS as a DCE to participate in the Implementation Period of the Direct Contracting Model for Global and Professional Options, which runs from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The Implementation Period provides us an opportunity to prepare for the first Performance Year (PY1), which starts on April 1, 2021. We have been assigned more than 11,000 beneficiaries under this program. However, we have no experience serving as a DCE and may not be able to realize the expected benefits thereof. We can provide no assurances that direct contracting will allow us to achieve risk-like patient economics on original Medicare patients. For instance, we may not be

able to calibrate our historical medical expense estimates to this new beneficiary population, who have not chosen to participate in value-based care and thus may utilize third-party medical services differently than our current members. Beneficiaries that we are assigned under the direct contracting model may not be profitable to us initially or at all. In addition, our management team has and may further invest considerable time and resources in adapting to the direct contracting model, but we may not be able to realize the expected benefits thereof. Adding additional members through direct contracting will require absorbing additional members into our existing medical centers, which may strain resources or negatively affect our quality of care. We can provide no assurances that the direct contracting model will continue for additional Performance Years, including as a result of decreased political support for value-based care or the direct contracting model, or that it will expand our total addressable market in the manner that we expect.

Our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity and teamwork fostered by our culture and our business may be harmed.

We believe that our culture has been and will continue to be a critical contributor to our success. We expect to continue to hire aggressively as we expand, and we believe our corporate culture has been crucial in our success and our ability to attract highly skilled personnel. If we do not continue to develop our corporate culture or maintain and preserve our core values as we grow and evolve, we may be unable to foster the innovation, curiosity, creativity, focus on execution, teamwork and the facilitation of critical knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing we believe we need to support our growth. Moreover, despite applicable restrictions on transfer of shares, liquidity available to our employee securityholders following the Business Combination could lead to disparities of wealth among our employees, which could adversely impact relations among employees and our culture in general. Our anticipated headcount growth and our transition from a private company to a public company may result in a change to our corporate culture, which could harm our business.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and if we fail to comply with applicable state and federal healthcare laws and government regulations or lose governmental licenses, we could incur financial penalties, become excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, be required to make significant operational changes or experience adverse publicity, which could harm our business.

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local government laws and regulations, such as:

 

   

Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rules and regulations;

 

   

federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which, subject to certain exceptions known as “safe harbors,” prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate or other remuneration for referring an individual, in return for ordering, leasing, purchasing or recommending or arranging for or to induce the referral of an individual or the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services covered, in whole or in part, by any federal healthcare program, such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity can be found guilty of violating the statute without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act, or FCA;

 

   

the federal physician self-referral law, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, and analogous state self-referral prohibition statutes, which, subject to limited exceptions, prohibit physicians from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for the provision of certain “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including an ownership interest or a compensation arrangement) with an entity, and prohibit the entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid for such “designated health services.” The Stark Law excludes certain ownership interests in an entity from the definition of a financial relationship, including ownership of investment securities that could be purchased on the open market

when the designated health services referral was made and when the entity had stockholder equity exceeding $75 million at the end of the corporation’s most recent fiscal year or on average during the previous 3 fiscal years. “Stockholder equity” is the difference in value between a corporation’s total assets and total liabilities;

 

   

federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the FCA, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false or fraudulent claims for payment to, or approval by Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim or an obligation to pay or transmit money to the federal government, or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The FCA also permits a private individual acting as a “whistleblower” to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging violations of the FCA and to share in any monetary recovery;

 

   

the Civil Monetary Penalty statute and associated regulations, which authorizes the government agent to impose civil money penalties, an assessment, and program exclusion for various forms of fraud and abuse involving the Medicare and Medicaid programs;

 

   

the criminal healthcare fraud provisions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations, or collectively, HIPAA, and related rules that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, regardless of the payer (e.g., public or private), and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick or device a material fact or making any material false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity can be found guilty of violating HIPAA without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it;

 

   

federal and state laws regarding telemedicine services, including necessary technological standards to deliver such services, coverage restrictions associated with such services, the amount of reimbursement for such services, the licensure of individuals providing such services;

 

   

federal and state laws and policies related to the prescribing and dispensing of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances;

 

   

federal and state laws related to the advertising and marketing of services by healthcare providers;

 

   

state laws regulating the operations and financial condition of risk bearing providers, which may include capital requirements, licensing or certification, governance controls and other similar matters;

 

   

state and federal statutes and regulations that govern workplace health and safety;

 

   

federal and state laws and policies that require healthcare providers to maintain licensure, certification or accreditation to enroll and participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, to report certain changes in their operations to the agencies that administer these programs and, in some cases, to re-enroll in these programs when changes in direct or indirect ownership occur;

 

   

state laws pertaining to kickbacks, fee splitting, self-referral and false claims, some of which are not consistent with comparable federal laws and regulations, including, for example, not being limited in scope to relationships involving government health care programs;

 

   

state insurance laws governing what healthcare entities may bear financial risk and the allowable types of financial risks, including direct primary care programs, provider-sponsored organizations, ACOs, IPAs, and provider capitation; and

 

   

federal and state laws pertaining to the provision of services by nurse practitioners and physician assistants certain settings, physician supervision of those services, and reimbursement requirements

that depend on the types of services provided and documented and relationships between physician supervisors and nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

In addition to the above laws, Medicare and Medicaid regulations, manual provisions, local coverage determinations, national coverage determinations and agency guidance also impose complex and extensive requirements upon healthcare providers. Moreover, the various laws and regulations that apply to our operations are often subject to varying interpretations and additional laws and regulations potentially affecting providers continue to be promulgated that may impact us. A violation or departure from any of the legal requirements implicated by our business may result in, among other things, government audits, lower reimbursements, significant fines and penalties, the potential loss of certification, recoupment efforts or voluntary repayments. These legal requirements are civil, criminal and administrative in nature depending on the law or requirement.

We endeavor to comply with all legal requirements. We further endeavor to structure all of our relationships with physicians and providers to comply with state and federal anti-kickback physician and Stark laws and other applicable healthcare laws. On December 2, 2020, the HHS Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) and CMS issued final rules expanding and modifying existing and adding new regulatory Anti-Kickback Statute “safe harbors” and Stark Law exceptions, respectively. The rules are part of the “Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care” that HHS launched in 2018 in an effort to encourage innovative arrangements designed to improve the quality of care, health outcomes, and efficiency in the United States health care system. These final rules center on the concept of “value-based enterprises” (“VBEs”) and “value-based arrangements” between participants in VBEs. Both the Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbors and the Stark Law exceptions are broken down by the amount of financial risk assumed under the value-based arrangement, and the more risk assumed, the more flexibility offered under the safe harbors and exceptions. We continue to evaluate what effect, if any, these rules will have on our business. We utilize considerable resources to monitor laws and regulations and implement necessary changes. However, the laws and regulations in these areas are complex, changing and often subject to varying interpretations. As a result, there is no guarantee that we will be able to adhere to all of the laws and regulations that apply to our business, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and reputation. Similarly, we may face penalties under the FCA, the federal Civil Monetary Penalty statute or otherwise related to failure to report and return overpayments within 60 days of when the overpayment is identified and quantified. These obligations to report and return overpayments could subject our procedures for identifying and processing overpayments to greater scrutiny. We have made investments in resources to decrease the time it takes to identify, quantify and process overpayments, and may be required to make additional investments in the future.

Additionally, the federal government has used the FCA to prosecute a wide variety of alleged false claims and fraud allegedly perpetrated against Medicare, Medicaid and other federally funded health care programs. Moreover, amendments to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in the ACA make claims tainted by anti-kickback violations potentially subject to liability under the FCA, including qui tam or whistleblower suits. The penalties for a violation of the FCA range from $5,500 to $11,000 (adjusted for inflation) for each false claim plus three times the amount of damages caused by each such claim which generally means the amount received directly or indirectly from the government. On January 29, 2018, the Department of Justice, or DOJ, issued a final rule announcing adjustments to FCA penalties, under which the per claim penalty range increases to a range from $11,665 to $23,331 per false claim or statement (as of June 19, 2020, and subject to annual adjustments for inflation). Given the high volume of claims processed by our various operating units, the potential is high for substantial penalties in connection with any alleged FCA violations.

In addition to the provisions of the FCA, which provide for civil enforcement, the federal government can use several criminal statutes to prosecute persons who are alleged to have submitted false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government.

In addition, with the various government shutdowns, stay at home orders, and restrictions on elective health care services brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, our owned and affiliated practices have increasingly

relied upon the availability of, and reimbursement for, telemedicine and other emerging technologies (such as digital health services) to generate revenue. Federal and state laws regarding such services, necessary technological standards to deliver such services, coverage restrictions associated with such services, and the amount of reimbursement for such services are subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, many states loosened the restrictions in such laws and allowed providers to bill for such services at rates comparable to providing such services in a traditional office setting. These changes may be of short duration, may impede us in providing such services to our members in an economically viable manner in the future, and may harm our business. Failure to comply with these laws could result in denials of reimbursement for our affiliated providers’ services (to the extent such services are billed), recoupments of prior payments, professional discipline for our affiliated providers or civil or criminal penalties against our business.

If any of our operations are found to violate these or other government laws or regulations, we could suffer severe consequences that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, reputation and stock price, including:

 

   

suspension or termination of our participation in government payment programs;

 

   

refunds of amounts received in violation of law or applicable payment program requirements dating back to the applicable statute of limitation periods;

 

   

loss of our required government certifications or exclusion from government payment programs;

 

   

loss of our licenses required to operate healthcare facilities or administer pharmaceuticals in the states in which we operate;

 

   

criminal or civil liability, fines, damages or monetary penalties for violations of healthcare fraud and abuse laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, Stark Law and FCA, state laws and regulations, or other failures to meet regulatory requirements;

 

   

enforcement actions by governmental agencies and/or state law claims for monetary damages by patients who believe their PHI has been used, disclosed or not properly safeguarded in violation of federal or state patient privacy laws, including HIPAA and the Privacy Act of 1974;

 

   

mandated changes to our practices or procedures that significantly increase operating expenses;

 

   

imposition of and compliance with corporate integrity agreements that could subject us to ongoing audits and reporting requirements as well as increased scrutiny of our billing and business practices which could lead to potential fines, among other things;

 

   

termination of various relationships and/or contracts related to our business, including payer agreements, joint venture arrangements, medical director agreements, real estate leases and consulting agreements with physicians; and

 

   

harm to our reputation which could negatively impact our business relationships, affect our ability to attract and retain members and physicians, affect our ability to obtain financing and decrease access to new business opportunities, among other things.

We are, and may in the future be, a party to various lawsuits, demands, claims, qui tam suits, governmental investigations and audits (including investigations or other actions resulting from our obligation to self-report suspected violations of law) and other legal matters, any of which could result in, among other things, substantial financial penalties or awards against us, mandated refunds, substantial payments made by us, required changes to our business practices, exclusion from future participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs and possible criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and materially harm our reputation.

We may in the future be subject to investigations and audits by state or federal governmental agencies and/or private civil qui tam complaints filed by relators and other lawsuits, demands, claims and legal proceedings, including investigations or other actions resulting from our obligation to self-report suspected violations of law.

 

88


Table of Contents

Responding to subpoenas, investigations and other lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings as well as defending ourselves in such matters will continue to require management’s attention and cause us to incur significant legal expense. Negative findings or terms and conditions that we might agree to accept as part of a negotiated resolution of pending or future legal or regulatory matters could result in, among other things, substantial financial penalties or awards against us, substantial payments made by us, harm to our reputation, required changes to our business practices, exclusion from future participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs and, in certain cases, criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. It is possible that criminal proceedings may be initiated against us and/or individuals in our business in connection with investigations by the federal government.

We, our employees, the facilities in which we operate and our affiliated physicians are subject to various federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations and accreditation standards and other laws, relating to, among other things, the adequacy of medical care, equipment, privacy of patient information, physician relationships, personnel and operating policies and procedures. Failure to comply with these licensing, certification and accreditation laws, regulations and standards could result in our services being found non-reimbursable or prior payments being subject to recoupment, requirements to make significant changes to our operations and can give rise to civil or, in extreme cases, criminal penalties. We routinely take the steps we believe are necessary to retain or obtain all requisite licensure and operating authorities. While we have made reasonable efforts to substantially comply with federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations and standards as we interpret them, we cannot assure you that agencies that administer these programs will not find that we have failed to comply in some material respects.

Reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates or changes in the rules governing the Medicare program could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We receive the majority of our revenue from Medicare, either directly or through Medicare Advantage plans, and revenue from Medicare accounted for 79.5%, 77.6% and 80.8% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. In addition, many private payers base their reimbursement rates on the published Medicare rates or are themselves reimbursed by Medicare for the services we provide. As a result, our results of operations are, in part, dependent on government funding levels for Medicare programs, particularly Medicare Advantage programs. Any changes that limit or reduce Medicare Advantage or general Medicare reimbursement levels, such as reductions in or limitations of reimbursement amounts or rates under programs, reductions in funding of programs, expansion of benefits without adequate funding, elimination of coverage for certain benefits, or elimination of coverage for certain individuals or treatments under programs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Medicare program and its reimbursement rates and rules are subject to frequent change. These include statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments (including retroactive adjustments), administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions, all of which may materially adversely affect the rates at which Medicare reimburses us for our services. Budget pressures often lead the federal government to reduce or place limits on reimbursement rates under Medicare. Implementation of these and other types of measures has in the past and could in the future result in substantial reductions in our revenue and operating margins. For example, due to the federal sequestration, an automatic 2% reduction in Medicare spending took effect beginning in April 2013. The CARES Act, designed to provide financial support and resources to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent legislation temporarily suspended these reductions from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021, and extended the sequester by one year, through 2030. Proposed legislation, if passed, would extend this suspension until the end of the pandemic.

Each year, CMS issues a final rule to establish the Medicare Advantage benchmark payment rates for the following calendar year. Any reduction to Medicare Advantage rates impacting us that is greater compared to the industry average rate may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The final impact of the Medicare Advantage rates can vary from any estimate we may

have and may be further impacted by the relative growth of our Medicare Advantage member volumes across markets as well as by the benefit plan designs submitted. It is possible that we may underestimate the impact of the Medicare Advantage rates on our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, our Medicare Advantage revenues may continue to be volatile in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, CMS often changes the rules governing the Medicare program, including those governing reimbursement. Changes that could adversely affect our business include:

 

   

administrative or legislative changes to base rates or the bases of payment;

 

   

limits on the services or types of providers for which Medicare will provide reimbursement;

 

   

changes in methodology for member assessment and/or determination of payment levels;

 

   

the reduction or elimination of annual rate increases; or

 

   

an increase in co-payments or deductibles payable by beneficiaries.

Recent legislative, judicial and executive efforts to enact further healthcare reform legislation have caused the future state of the exchanges, other reforms under the ACA, and many core aspects of the current U.S. health care system to be unclear. Since 2016, various administrative and legislative initiatives have been implemented that have had adverse impacts on the ACA and its programs. For example, in October 2017, the federal government announced that cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers would end, effective immediately, unless Congress appropriated the funds, and, in December 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes a provision that eliminates the penalty under the ACA’s individual mandate for individuals who fail to obtain a qualifying health insurance plan and could impact the future state of the exchanges. On December 14, 2018, a federal district court in Texas ruled the individual mandate is a critical and inseverable feature of the ACA, and therefore, because it was repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. On December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and remanded the case to the lower court to reconsider its earlier invalidation of the full ACA. On March 2, 2020, the United States Supreme Court granted the petitions for writs of certiorari to review this case. Oral arguments, were held on November 10, 2020. Pending review, the ACA remains in effect, but it is unclear at this time what effect the latest ruling will have on the status of the ACA. Litigation and legislation over the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results.

While specific changes and their timing are not yet apparent, enacted reforms and future legislative, regulatory, judicial, or executive changes, particularly any changes to the Medicare Advantage program, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Among the important statutory changes that are being implemented by CMS include provisions of the IMPACT Act. This law imposes a stringent timeline for implementing benchmark quality measures and data metrics across post-acute care providers. The enactment also mandates specific actions to design a unified payment methodology for post-acute providers. CMS is in the process of promulgating regulations to implement provisions of this enactment. Depending on the final details, the costs of implementation could be significant. The failure to meet implementation requirements could expose providers to fines and payment reductions.

There is also uncertainty regarding both Medicare Advantage payment rates and beneficiary enrollment, which, if reduced, would reduce our overall revenues and net income. Although Medicare Advantage enrollment increased by approximately 13 million, or by 117%, between the enactment of the ACA in 2010 and 2020, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. Further, fluctuation in Medicare Advantage payment rates are evidenced by CMS’s annual announcement of the expected average change in revenue from the prior year: for 2018, CMS announced an average increase of 0.45%; and for 2019, 3.4%. Uncertainty over Medicare Advantage enrollment and payment rates present a continuing risk to our business.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, or KFF, Medicare Advantage enrollment continues to be highly concentrated among a few payers, both nationally and in local regions. In 2020, the KFF reported that three payers together accounted for more than half of Medicare Advantage enrollment and seven firms accounted for approximately 83% of the lives. Consolidation among Medicare Advantage plans in certain regions, or the Medicare program’s failure to attract additional plans to participate in the Medicare Advantage program, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Reductions in reimbursement rates or the scope of services being reimbursed, or an expansion of the scope of services to be provided under our contracts with payers without a corresponding increase in payment rates could have a material, adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or even result in reimbursement rates that are insufficient to cover our operating expenses. Additionally, any delay or default by the government in making Medicare reimbursement payments could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

State and federal efforts to reduce Medicaid spending could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Many of our members are dual-eligible, meaning their coverage comes from both Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, certain of our members are fully covered by Medicaid. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program purchasing healthcare services for the low income and indigent as well as certain higher-income individuals with significant health needs. Under broad federal criteria, states establish rules for eligibility, services and payment. Medicaid is a state-administered program financed by both state funds and matching federal funds. Medicaid spending has increased rapidly in recent years, becoming a significant component of state budgets. This, combined with slower state revenue growth, has led both the federal government and many states to institute measures aimed at controlling the growth of Medicaid spending, and in some instances reducing aggregate Medicaid spending.

For example, a number of states have adopted or are considering legislation designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures, such as financial arrangements commonly referred to as provider taxes. Under provider tax arrangements, states collect taxes from healthcare providers and then use the revenue to pay the providers as a Medicaid expenditure, which allows the states to then claim additional federal matching funds on the additional reimbursements. Current federal law provides for a cap on the maximum allowable provider tax as a percentage of the provider’s total revenue. There can be no assurance that federal law will continue to provide matching federal funds on state Medicaid expenditures funded through provider taxes, or that the current caps on provider taxes will not be reduced. Any discontinuance or reduction in federal matching of provider tax-related Medicaid expenditures could have a significant and adverse effect on states’ Medicaid expenditures, and as a result could have an adverse effect on our business.

As part of the movement to repeal, replace or modify the ACA and as a means to reduce the federal budget deficit, there are renewed congressional efforts to move Medicaid from an open-ended program with coverage and benefits set by the federal government to one in which states receive a fixed amount of federal funds, either through block grants or per capita caps, and have more flexibility to determine benefits, eligibility or provider payments. If those changes are implemented, we cannot predict whether the amount of fixed federal funding to the states will be based on current payment amounts, or if it will be based on lower payment amounts, which would negatively impact those states that expanded their Medicaid programs in response to the ACA.

We expect these state and federal efforts to continue for the foreseeable future. The Medicaid program and its reimbursement rates and rules are subject to frequent change at both the federal and state level. These include statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments (including retroactive adjustments), administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions, all of which may materially adversely affect the rates at which our services are reimbursed by state Medicaid plans.

Our business could be harmed if the ACA is overturned or by any legislative, regulatory or industry change that reduces healthcare spending or otherwise slows or limits the transition to more assumption of risk by healthcare providers.

The United States Supreme Court is currently considering the case of California v. Texas, Case 19-840, which, if the respondents are successful, could result in the ACA being struck down in its entirety. Although the statute has survived previous challenges before the Supreme Court, we cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.

Our operating model, our platform and our revenue are dependent on the healthcare industry’s continued movement towards providers assuming more risk from payers for the cost of patient care. Any legislative, regulatory or industry changes that slows or limits that movement or otherwise reduces the risk-based healthcare spending would most likely be detrimental to our business, revenue, financial projections and growth.

We are also impacted by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, under which physicians must choose to participate in one of two payment formulas, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, or MIPS, or Alternative Payment Models, or APMs. Beginning in 2019, MIPS allows eligible physicians to receive upward or downward adjustments to their Medicare Part B payments based on certain quality and cost metrics, among other measures. As an alternative, physicians can choose to participate in an Advanced APM. Advanced APMs are exempt from the MIPS requirements, and physicians who are meaningful participants in APMs will receive bonus payments from Medicare pursuant to the law. CMS has proposed limiting the number of significant changes to the Quality Payment Program in 2021 by continuing a gradual implementation timeline for MIPS and APMs.

In addition, current and prior healthcare reform proposals have included the concept of creating a single payer or public option for health insurance. If enacted, these proposals could have an extensive impact on the healthcare industry, including us. We are unable to predict whether such reforms may be enacted or their impact on our operations.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and private payers will pay for healthcare services, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to effectively adapt to changes in the healthcare industry or changes in state and federal laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, including changes to laws and regulations regarding or affecting the U.S. healthcare reform, our business may be harmed.

Due to the importance of the healthcare industry in the lives of all Americans, federal, state, and local legislative bodies frequently pass legislation and promulgate regulations relating to healthcare reform or that affect the healthcare industry. As has been the trend in recent years, it is reasonable to assume that there will continue to be increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry in the future. We cannot assure our stockholders as to the ultimate content, timing or effect of any new healthcare legislation or regulations, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential new legislation or regulations on our business. It is possible that future legislation enacted by Congress or state legislatures, or regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities at the federal or state level, could adversely affect our business or could change the operating environment of our medical centers. It is possible that the changes to the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare program reimbursements may serve as precedent to possible changes in other payers’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to us. Similarly, changes in private payer reimbursements could lead to adverse changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we believe that we have structured our agreements and operations in material compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully address

changes in the current regulatory environment. We believe that our business operations materially comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations. However, some of the healthcare laws and regulations applicable to us are subject to limited or evolving interpretations, and a review of our business or operations by a court, law enforcement or a regulatory authority might result in a determination that could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the healthcare laws and regulations applicable to us may be amended or interpreted in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to HIPAA and other federal and state privacy and security regulations. If we suffer a data breach or unauthorized disclosure, we could incur significant liability including government and private investigations and claims of privacy and security non-compliance. We could also suffer significant reputational harm as a result and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our member base and revenue.

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and other processing of protected health information, or PHI, and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information, or PII. These laws and regulations include HIPAA. HIPAA establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services.

HIPAA requires covered entities, such as us, and their business associates to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. HIPAA also implemented the use of standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including activities associated with the billing and collection of healthcare claims.

HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000 per violation, subject to a cap of $1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator.

HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal and state laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PHI and other types of PII. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state, and these laws and regulations in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted

by, HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future. In the event that new data security laws are implemented, we may not be able to timely comply with such requirements, or such requirements may not be compatible with our current processes. Changing our processes could be time consuming and expensive, and failure to timely implement required changes could subject us to liability for non-compliance. Some states may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their PII has been misused. This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us and potentially restricts our ability to collect, use and disclose data and exposes us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. While we have implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection, some PHI and other PII or confidential information is transmitted to us by third parties, who may not implement adequate security and privacy measures, and it is possible that laws, rules and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices or those of third parties who transmit PHI and other PII or confidential information to us. If we or these third parties are found to have violated such laws, rules or regulations, it could result in government-imposed fines, orders requiring that we or these third parties change our or their practices, or criminal charges, which could adversely affect our business. Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, systems and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business.

We also publish statements to our members and partners that describe how we handle and protect PHI. If federal or state regulatory authorities or private litigants consider any portion of these statements to be untrue, we may be subject to claims of deceptive practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences, including, without limitation, costs of responding to investigations, defending against litigation, settling claims, and complying with regulatory or court orders. Any of the foregoing consequences could seriously harm our business and our financial results. Any of the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse impact on our business and our financial results.

We face inspections, reviews, audits and investigations under federal and state government programs and contracts. These audits could have adverse findings that may negatively affect our business, including our results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and reputation.

As a result of our participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, we are subject to various governmental inspections, reviews, audits and investigations to verify our compliance with these programs and applicable laws and regulations. Payers may also reserve the right to conduct audits. We also periodically conduct internal audits and reviews of our regulatory compliance. An adverse inspection, review, audit or investigation could result in:

 

   

refunding amounts we have been paid pursuant to the Medicare or Medicaid programs or from payers;

 

   

state or federal agencies imposing fines, penalties and other sanctions on us;

 

   

temporary suspension of payment for new patients to the facility or agency;

 

   

decertification or exclusion from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs or one or more payer networks;

 

   

self-disclosure of violations to applicable regulatory authorities;

 

   

damage to our reputation;

 

   

the revocation of a facility’s or agency’s license; and

 

   

loss of certain rights under, or termination of, our contracts with payers.

Table of Contents

We have in the past and will likely in the future be required to refund amounts we have been paid and/or pay fines and penalties as a result of these inspections, reviews, audits and investigations. If adverse inspections, reviews, audits or investigations occur and any of the results noted above occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Furthermore, the legal, document production and other costs associated with complying with these inspections, reviews, audits or investigations could be significant.

Laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which we are permitted to conduct our business, and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to penalties or require a restructuring of our business.

Some states have laws that prohibit business entities, such as us, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians or engaging in certain arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians (such activities generally referred to as the “corporate practice of medicine”). In some states these prohibitions are expressly stated in a statute or regulation, while in other states the prohibition is a matter of judicial or regulatory interpretation. Certain of the states in which we currently operate, such as Texas and Nevada, and certain of the states to which we may expand our operations, such as New York and California, generally prohibit the corporate practice of medicine, and other states may enact such restrictions as well.

Penalties for violations of the corporate practice of medicine vary by state and may result in physicians being subject to disciplinary action, as well as to forfeiture of revenues from payers for services rendered. For lay entities, violations may also bring both civil and, in more extreme cases, criminal liability for engaging in medical practice without a license. Some of the relevant laws, regulations and agency interpretations in states with corporate practice of medicine restrictions have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation. Moreover, state laws are subject to change. Regulatory authorities and other parties may assert that, despite the management agreements and other arrangements through which we operate, we are engaged in the prohibited corporate practice of medicine or that our arrangements constitute unlawful fee-splitting. If this were to occur, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties, our agreements could be found legally invalid and unenforceable (in whole or in part) or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements. In markets where the corporate practice of medicine is prohibited, we have historically operated by maintaining long-term management contracts with multiple associated professional organizations which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians to provide those professional medical services required by the enrollees of the payers with which the professional organizations contract. Under these management agreements, our managed services organization performs only non-medical administrative services, does not represent that it offers medical services and does not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by the physicians or the associated physician groups with which it contracts. In addition, the professional organizations are all 100% owned by a member of our management team. In the event of death or disability or upon certain other triggering events, we maintain the right to direct the transfer of the ownership of the professional organizations to another licensed physician.

In addition to the above management arrangements, we have certain contractual rights relating to the orderly transfer of equity interests in our physician practices through succession agreements and other arrangements with their physician equity holders. Such equity interests cannot, however, be transferred to or held by us or by any non-professional organization. Accordingly, neither we nor our direct subsidiaries directly own any equity interests in any of our physician practices. In the event that any of the physician owners of our practices fail to comply with the management arrangement, if any management arrangement is terminated and/or we are unable to enforce our contractual rights over the orderly transfer of equity interests in any of our physician practices, such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

It is possible that a state regulatory agency or a court could determine that our agreements with physician equity holders of our practices and the way we carry out these arrangements as described above, either

independently or coupled with the management services agreements with such associated physician practices, are in violation of prohibitions on the corporate practice of medicine. As a result, these arrangements could be deemed invalid, potentially resulting in a loss of revenues and an adverse effect on results of operations derived from such practices. Such a determination could force a restructuring of our management arrangements with the affected practices, which might include revisions of the management services agreements, including a modification of the management fee and/or establishing an alternative structure that would permit us to contract with a physician network without violating prohibitions on the corporate practice of medicine. There can be no assurance that such a restructuring would be feasible, or that it could be accomplished within a reasonable time frame without a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our records and submissions to a health plan may contain inaccurate or unsupportable information regarding risk adjustment scores of members, which could cause us to overstate or understate our revenue and subject us to various penalties.

The claims and encounter records that we submit to health plans may impact data that support the Medicare Risk Adjustment Factor, or RAF, scores attributable to members. These RAF scores determine, in part, the revenue to which the health plans and, in turn, we are entitled for the provision of medical care to such members. The data submitted to CMS by each health plan is based, in part, on medical charts and diagnosis codes that we prepare and submit to the health plans. Each health plan generally relies on us and our affiliated physicians to appropriately document and support such RAF data in our medical records. Each health plan also relies on us and our affiliated physicians to appropriately code claims for medical services provided to members. Erroneous claims and erroneous encounter records and submissions could result in inaccurate revenue and risk adjustment payments, which may be subject to correction or retroactive adjustment in later periods. This corrected or adjusted information may be reflected in financial statements for periods subsequent to the period in which the revenue was recorded. We might also need to refund a portion of the revenue that we received, which refund, depending on its magnitude, could damage our relationship with the applicable health plan and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Additionally, CMS audits Medicare Advantage plans for documentation to support RAF-related payments for members chosen at random. The Medicare Advantage plans ask providers to submit the underlying documentation for members that they serve. It is possible that claims associated with members with higher RAF scores could be subject to more scrutiny in a CMS or plan audit. There is a possibility that a Medicare Advantage plan may seek repayment from us should CMS make any payment adjustments to the Medicare Advantage plan as a result of its audits. The plans also may hold us liable for any penalties owed to CMS for inaccurate or unsupportable RAF scores provided by us or our affiliated physicians. In addition, we could be liable for penalties to the government under the FCA that range from $11,665 to $23,331 per false claim or statement (as of June 19, 2020, and subject to annual adjustments for inflation), plus up to three times the amount of damages caused by each false claim, which can be as much as the amounts received directly or indirectly from the government for each such false claim.

CMS has indicated that payment adjustments will not be limited to RAF scores for the specific Medicare Advantage enrollees for which errors are found but may also be extrapolated to the entire Medicare Advantage plan subject to a particular CMS contract. CMS has described its audit process as plan-year specific and stated that it will not extrapolate audit results for plan years prior to 2011. Because CMS has not stated otherwise, there is a risk that payment adjustments made as a result of one plan year’s audit would be extrapolated to prior plan years after 2011.

There can be no assurance that a health plan will not be randomly selected or targeted for review by CMS or that the outcome of such a review will not result in a material adjustment in our revenue and profitability, even if the information we submitted to the plan is accurate and supportable.

New physicians and other providers must be properly enrolled in governmental healthcare programs before we can receive reimbursement for their services, and there may be delays in the enrollment process.

Each time a new physician joins us, we must enroll the physician under our applicable group identification number for Medicare and Medicaid programs and for certain managed care and private insurance programs before we can receive reimbursement for services the physician renders to beneficiaries of those programs. The estimated time to receive approval for the enrollment is sometimes difficult to predict. These practices result in delayed reimbursement that may adversely affect our cash flows.

With respect to Medicare, providers can retrospectively bill Medicare for services provided 30 days prior to the effective date of the enrollment. In addition, the enrollment rules provide that the effective date of the enrollment will be the later of the date on which the enrollment application was filed and approved by the Medicare contractor, or the date on which the provider began providing services. If we are unable to properly enroll physicians and other applicable healthcare professionals within the 30 days after the provider begins providing services, we will be precluded from billing Medicare for any services which were provided to a Medicare beneficiary more than 30 days prior to the effective date of the enrollment. With respect to Medicaid, new enrollment rules and whether a state will allow providers to retrospectively bill Medicaid for services provided prior to submitting an enrollment application varies by state. Failure to timely enroll providers could reduce our physician services segment total revenues and have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of our physician services segment.

The ACA, as currently structured, added additional enrollment requirements for Medicare and Medicaid, which have been further enhanced through implementing regulations and increased enforcement scrutiny. Every enrolled provider must revalidate its enrollment at regular intervals and must update the Medicare contractors and many state Medicaid programs with significant changes on a timely basis. If we fail to provide sufficient documentation as required to maintain our enrollment, Medicare and Medicaid could deny continued future enrollment or revoke our enrollment and billing privileges.

The requirements for enrollment, licensure, certification, and accreditation may include notification or approval in the event of a transfer or change of ownership or certain other changes. Other agencies or payers with which we have contracts may have similar requirements, and some of these processes may be complex. Failure to provide required notifications or obtain necessary approvals may result in the delay or inability to complete an acquisition or transfer, loss of licensure, lapses in reimbursement, or other penalties. While we make reasonable efforts to substantially comply with these requirements, we cannot assure you that the agencies that administer these programs or have awarded us contracts will not find that we have failed to comply in some material respects. A finding of non-compliance and any resulting payment delays, refund demands or other sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Competition

The healthcare industry is highly competitive, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business would be harmed.

We compete directly with national, regional and local providers of healthcare for members and physicians. There are many other companies and individuals currently providing healthcare services, many of which have been in business longer and/or have substantially more resources. There have been increased trends towards consolidation and vertical integration in the healthcare industry, including an influx of additional capital. Since there are virtually no substantial capital expenditures required for providing healthcare services, there are few financial barriers to entry in the healthcare industry. Other companies could enter the healthcare industry in the future and divert some or all of our business. Our ability to compete successfully varies from location to location and depends on a number of factors, including the number of competing primary care facilities in the local market and the types of services available at those facilities, our local reputation for quality care of members, the commitment and expertise of our medical staff, our local service offerings and community programs, the cost of

 

97


Table of Contents

care in each locality, and the physical appearance, location, age and condition of our facilities. If we are unable to attract members to our medical centers, our revenue and profitability will be adversely affected. Some of our competitors may have greater recognition and be more established in their respective communities than we are, and may have greater financial and other resources than we have. Competing primary care providers may also offer larger facilities or different programs or services than we do, which, combined with the foregoing factors, may result in our competitors being more attractive to our current members, potential members and referral sources. Furthermore, while we budget for routine capital expenditures at our facilities to keep them competitive in their respective markets, to the extent that competitive forces cause those expenditures to increase in the future, our financial condition may be negatively affected. In addition, our relationships with governmental and private third-party payers are not exclusive and our competitors have established or could seek to establish relationships with such payers to serve their covered patients. Additionally, as we expand into new geographies, we may encounter competitors with stronger relationships or recognition in the community in such new geography, which could give those competitors an advantage in obtaining new patients. Individual physicians, physician groups and companies in other healthcare industry segments, including those with which we have contracts, and some of which have greater financial, marketing and staffing resources, may become competitors in providing health care services, and this competition may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial position.

Our performance depends on our ability to recruit and retain quality physicians, nurses and other personnel. Competitors in primary care markets may aggressively employ non-compete, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenant tools to chill the entry of new operators. Competition for or shortages in quality physicians, nurses and other personnel, increases in labor costs or expiration of non-compete, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants with past, present or future employees could adversely affect our revenue, profitability, cash flows, quality of care and member enrollment.

Our operations are dependent on the efforts, abilities and experience of our physicians and clinical personnel. We compete with other healthcare providers, primarily hospitals and other facilities, in attracting physicians, nurses and medical staff to support our medical centers, recruiting and retaining qualified management and support personnel responsible for the daily operations of each of our medical centers and in contracting with payers in each of our markets. Competitors in primary care markets may aggressively employ non-compete, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenant tools to chill the entry of new operators. In some markets, the lack of availability of clinical personnel, such as nurses and mental health professionals, has become a significant operating issue facing all healthcare providers. This shortage may require us to continue to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified personnel or to contract for more expensive temporary personnel. We also depend on the available labor pool of semi-skilled and unskilled workers in each of the markets in which we operate.

Key primary care physicians with large member enrollment could retire, become disabled, terminate their provider contracts, get lured away by a competing independent physician association or medical group, or otherwise become unable or unwilling to continue practicing medicine or continue working with us. As a result, members who have been served by such physicians could choose to enroll with competitors’ physician organizations or could seek medical care elsewhere, which could reduce our revenues and profits. Moreover, we may not be able to attract new physicians to replace the services of terminating physicians or to service our growing membership.

We have employment contracts with physicians and other health professionals in many states. Some of these contracts include provisions preventing these physicians and other health professionals from competing with us both during and after the term of our contract with them. The law governing non-compete agreements and other forms of restrictive covenants varies from state to state. Some jurisdictions prohibit us from using non-competition covenants with our professional staff. Other states are reluctant to strictly enforce non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants applicable to physicians and other healthcare professionals. There can be no assurance that our non-compete agreements related to physicians and other health professionals will be found

 

98


Table of Contents

enforceable if challenged in certain states. In such event, we would be unable to prevent physicians and other health professionals formerly employed by us from competing with us, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our members.

If our labor costs increase, we may not be able to raise rates to offset these increased costs. Because a significant percentage of our revenue consists of fixed, prospective payments, our ability to pass along increased labor costs is limited. In particular, if labor costs rise at an annual rate greater than our net annual consumer price index basket update from Medicare, our results of operations and cash flows will likely be adversely affected. Any union activity at our facilities that may occur in the future could contribute to increased labor costs. Certain proposed changes in federal labor laws and the National Labor Relations Board’s modification of its election procedures could increase the likelihood of employee unionization attempts. Although none of our employees are currently represented by a collective bargaining agreement, to the extent a significant portion of our employee base unionizes, it is possible our labor costs could increase materially. Our failure to recruit and retain qualified management and medical personnel, or to control our labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

If we fail to cost-effectively develop widespread brand awareness and maintain our reputation, or if we fail to achieve and maintain market acceptance for our healthcare services, our business could suffer.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with both members and payers and to our ability to attract new members. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Our marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur and our results of operations could be harmed. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of or provide quality medical care for our members, or any adverse publicity or litigation involving or surrounding us, one of our medical centers or our management, could make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new members. Similarly, because our existing members often act as references for us with prospective new members, any existing member that questions the quality of our care could impair our ability to secure additional new members. In addition, negative publicity resulting from any adverse government payer audit could injure our reputation. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business may not grow and we could lose our relationships with members, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names that we own or license may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared generic, lapsed or determined to be infringing on or dilutive of other marks. We may not be able to protect our rights in these trademarks and trade names, which we need in order to build name recognition with members, payers and other partners. In addition, third parties may in the future file for registration of trademarks similar or identical to our trademarks. If they succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks, and if we are not successful in challenging such third-party rights, we may not be able to use these trademarks to promote our business in certain relevant jurisdictions. If we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, we may not be able to compete effectively and our brand recognition, reputation and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems.

Our business is highly dependent on maintaining effective information systems as well as the integrity and timeliness of the data we use to serve our members, support our care teams and operate our business. Because of the large amount of data that we collect and manage, it is possible that hardware failures or errors in our systems could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain

 

99


Table of Contents

inaccuracies that our partners regard as significant. If our data were found to be inaccurate or unreliable due to fraud or other error, or if we, or any of the third-party service providers we engage, were to fail to maintain information systems and data integrity effectively, we could experience operational disruptions that may impact our members and care teams and hinder our ability to provide services, establish appropriate pricing for services, retain and attract members, manage our member risk profiles, establish reserves, report financial results timely and accurately and maintain regulatory compliance, among other things.

Our information technology strategy and execution are critical to our continued success. We must continue to invest in long-term solutions that will enable us to anticipate member needs and expectations, enhance the member experience, act as a differentiator in the market and protect against cybersecurity risks and threats. Our success is dependent, in large part, on maintaining the effectiveness of existing technology systems and continuing to deliver and enhance technology systems that support our business processes in a cost-efficient and resource-efficient manner. Increasing regulatory and legislative changes will place additional demands on our information technology infrastructure that could have a direct impact on resources available for other projects tied to our strategic initiatives. In addition, recent trends toward greater patient engagement in health care require new and enhanced technologies, including more sophisticated applications for mobile devices. Connectivity among technologies is becoming increasingly important. We must also develop new systems to meet current market standards and keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving industry and regulatory standards and patient needs. Failure to do so may present compliance challenges and impede our ability to deliver services in a competitive manner. Further, because system development projects are long-term in nature, they may be more costly than expected to complete and may not deliver the expected benefits upon completion. Our failure to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flow.

Risks Related to Data Security and Intellectual Property

Our proprietary platform relies on third party vendors, and disruptions in those relationships or other failures of our platform could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business.

CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, contains components developed and maintained by third-party software vendors. Moreover, we use a third-party cloud-based electronic health record management system. The ability of these third-party suppliers to successfully provide reliable and high-quality services is subject to technical and operational uncertainties that are beyond our control. We may not be able to replace the functions provided by the third-party software currently used in CanoPanorama if that software becomes obsolete or defective or is not adequately maintained or updated. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with our third-party software vendors. Any significant interruption in the availability of these third-party software products or defects in these products could harm our business unless and until we can secure or develop an alternative source. In the event of failure in such third party vendors’ systems and processes, we could experience business interruptions or privacy and/or security breaches surrounding our data. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business.

Data security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or our members, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, use and disclose sensitive data, including protected health information, or PHI, and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information, or PII, relating to our employees, members and others. We also process and store, and use third-party service providers to process and store, sensitive information, including intellectual property, confidential information and other

 

100


Table of Contents

proprietary business information. We manage and maintain such sensitive data and information utilizing a combination of on-site systems, managed data center systems and cloud-based computing center systems.

We are highly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to securely process, transmit and store this sensitive data and information. Security breaches of this infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, and employee or contractor error, negligence or malfeasance, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure or modifications of such sensitive data or information, causing PHI or other PII to be accessed or acquired without authorization or to become publicly available. We utilize third-party service providers for important aspects of the collection, storage, processing and transmission of employee, user and member information, and other confidential and sensitive information, and therefore rely on third parties to manage functions that have material cybersecurity risks. Because of the sensitivity of the PHI, other PII and other sensitive information we and our service providers collect, store, transmit, and otherwise process, the security of our technology platform and other aspects of our services, including those provided or facilitated by our third-party service providers, are important to our operations and business strategy. We take certain administrative, physical and technological safeguards to address these risks, such as by requiring contractors and other third-party service providers who handle this PHI, other PII and other sensitive information for us to enter into agreements that contractually obligate them to use reasonable efforts to safeguard such PHI, other PII, and other sensitive information. Measures taken to protect our systems, those of our contractors or third-party service providers, or the PHI, other PII, or other sensitive information we or contractors or third-party service providers process or maintain, may not adequately protect us from the risks associated with the collection, storage, processing and transmission of such sensitive data and information. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches. Despite our implementation of security measures, cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent. As a result, we or our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate protective measures.

A security breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or that prevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, member information, including PHI or other PII, or other sensitive information we or our contractors or third-party service providers maintain or otherwise process, could harm our reputation, compel us to comply with breach notification laws, cause us to incur significant costs for remediation, fines, penalties, notification to individuals and for measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences, potential increases in insurance premiums, and require us to verify the accuracy of database contents, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. While we have not experienced any material system failure, accident or security breach to date of which we are aware, we nevertheless have experienced from time to time, and continue to experience in the future, cyber-attacks on our information technology systems despite our best efforts to prevent them. For instance, in June 2020, we disclosed to the public a data breach resulting from a business email compromise by an unknown threat actor that affected Office 365 email accounts of certain employees. As some of the affected email inboxes contained PHI or PII, we notified all potentially affected individuals and the HHS Office of Civil Rights, or OCR. In December 2020, we received a data request from OCR relating to this incident to which we will respond. We may be subject to financial or reputational loss as a result of this data security incident.

If we are unable to prevent or mitigate such security breaches or privacy violations or implement satisfactory remedial measures, or if it is perceived that we have been unable to do so, our operations could be disrupted, we may be unable to provide access to our systems, and we could suffer a loss of members, and we may as a result suffer loss of reputation, adverse impacts on member and investor confidence, financial loss, governmental investigations or other actions, regulatory or contractual penalties, and other claims and liability. In addition, security breaches and other inappropriate access to, or acquisition or processing of, information can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying such incidents or in providing any notification of such incidents may lead to increased harm.

 

101


Table of Contents

Any such breach or interruption of our systems or those of any of our third-party service providers could compromise our networks or data security processes and sensitive information could be made inaccessible or could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such interruption in access, improper access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy of member information or other personal information, such as HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, and their implementing regulations and regulatory penalties. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt our operations, including our ability to perform our services, access member health information, collect, process, and prepare company financial information, provide information about our current and future services and engage in other member and clinician education and outreach efforts. Any such breach could also result in the compromise of our trade secrets and other proprietary information, which could adversely affect our business and competitive position. While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses, we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

Disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or management continuity planning could limit our ability to operate our business effectively.

Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to conduct our business. While we have disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans in place, any disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations. Despite our implementation of a variety of security measures, our information technology systems could be subject to physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering or any weather-related disruptions where our headquarters is located. In addition, in the event that a significant number of our management personnel were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct business could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property protection for our content or if the scope of our intellectual property protection is not sufficiently broad, our business may be adversely affected.

Our business depends on certain internally developed content, including software, databases, confidential information and know-how, the protection of which is crucial to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of trademark, trade-secret, and copyright laws and confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights in our internally developed content. We may, over time, increase our investment in protecting our intellectual property through additional trademark, patent and other intellectual property filings that could be expensive and time-consuming. Effective trademark, trade-secret and copyright protection is expensive to develop and maintain, both in terms of initial and ongoing registration requirements and the costs of defending our rights. These measures, however, may not be sufficient to offer us meaningful protection. Additionally, we do not currently hold a patent or other registered or applied for intellectual property protection for CanoPanorama. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and other rights, particularly with respect to CanoPanorama, our competitive position and our business could be harmed, as third parties may be able to commercialize and use technologies and software products that are substantially the same as ours without incurring the development and licensing costs that we have incurred. Any of our owned or licensed intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated, our trade secrets and other confidential information could be disclosed in an unauthorized manner to third parties, or our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide us with competitive advantages, which could result in costly redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain offerings or other competitive harm.

Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. From time to time, we seek to analyze our competitors’ services, and may in the future seek to enforce our rights against potential

 

102


Table of Contents

infringement. However, the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property. We may not be able to detect unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Any inability to meaningfully protect our intellectual property rights could result in harm to our ability to compete and reduce demand for our services. Moreover, our failure to develop and properly manage new intellectual property could adversely affect our market positions and business opportunities. Also, some of our services rely on technologies and software developed by or licensed from third parties, and we may not be able to maintain our relationships with such third parties or enter into similar relationships in the future on reasonable terms or at all.

Uncertainty may result from changes to intellectual property legislation and from interpretations of intellectual property laws by applicable courts and agencies. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to obtain and maintain the intellectual property rights necessary to provide us with a competitive advantage. Our failure to obtain, maintain and enforce our intellectual property rights could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our commercial success depends on our ability to develop and commercialize our services and use our proprietary technology platform without infringing the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. Intellectual property disputes can be costly to defend and may cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer. As the market for healthcare in the United States expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that there may be patents issued to third parties that relate to our technology platform of which we are not aware or that we must challenge to continue our operations as currently contemplated. Whether merited or not, we may face allegations that we, our vendors or licensors or parties indemnified by us have infringed or otherwise violated the patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Such claims may be made by competitors seeking to obtain a competitive advantage or by other parties. Additionally, in recent years, individuals and groups have begun purchasing intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies like ours. We may also face allegations that our employees have misappropriated the intellectual property or proprietary rights of their former employers or other third parties. It may be necessary for us to initiate litigation to defend ourselves in order to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party intellectual property or proprietary rights, or to establish our respective rights. We may not be able to successfully settle or otherwise resolve such adversarial proceedings or litigation. If we are unable to successfully settle future claims on terms acceptable to us we may be required to engage in or to continue claims, regardless of whether such claims have merit, that can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and financial resources and can be costly to evaluate and defend. Results of any such litigation are difficult to predict and may require us to stop commercializing or using our technology platform, obtain licenses, modify our services and technology platform while we develop non-infringing substitutes or incur substantial damages, settlement costs or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or providing the affected services. If we require a third-party license, it may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, and we may have to pay substantial royalties, service fees, upfront fees or grant cross-licenses to intellectual property rights for our services. We may also have to redesign our services so they do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, which may not be possible or may require substantial monetary expenditures and time, during which our technology platform may not be available for commercialization or use. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not obtain a third-party license to the infringed technology at all, license the technology on reasonable terms or obtain similar technology from another source, our revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business with respect to intellectual property. We are not currently subject to any claims from third parties asserting

infringement of their intellectual property rights. Some third parties may be able to sustain the costs of complex litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Moreover, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations. Assertions by third parties that we violate their intellectual property rights could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary and internally developed information, the value of our technology platform could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to protect our trade secrets, know-how and other internally developed information, including in relation to the CanoPanorama platform, adequately. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect this internally developed information and technology platform, our employees, consultants and other parties (including independent contractors and companies with which we conduct business) may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information or technology to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally disclosed or obtained and is using any of our internally developed information or technology is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. We rely, in part, on non-disclosure and confidentiality with our employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business to protect our trade secrets, know-how and other intellectual property and internally developed information. These agreements may not be self-executing, or they may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for such breach. Moreover, third parties may independently develop similar or equivalent proprietary information or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, know-how and other internally developed information.

Any restrictions on our use of, or ability to license, data, or our failure to license data and integrate third-party technologies, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend upon licenses from third parties for components of the technology and data used in CanoPanorama and for the platform upon which CanoPanorama is built and operates. We expect that we may need to obtain additional licenses from third parties in the future in connection with the development of our services. In addition, we obtain a portion of the data that we use from government entities, public records and from our partners for specific partner engagements. We believe that we have all rights necessary to use the data that is incorporated into our services. We cannot, however, assure you that our licenses for information will allow us to use that information for all potential or contemplated applications. In addition, our ability to continue to offer integrated healthcare to our members depends on maintaining CanoPanorama, which is partially populated with data disclosed to us by our affiliates with their consent. If these affiliates revoke their consent for us to maintain, use, de-identify and share this data, consistent with applicable law, our data assets could be degraded.

In the future, data providers could withdraw their data from us or restrict our usage for any reason, including if there is a competitive reason to do so, if legislation is passed restricting the use of the data or if judicial interpretations are issued restricting use of the data that we currently use to support our services. In addition, data providers could fail to adhere to our quality control standards in the future, causing us to incur additional expense to appropriately utilize the data. If a substantial number of data providers were to withdraw or restrict their data, or if they fail to adhere to our quality control standards, and if we are unable to identify and contract with suitable alternative data suppliers and integrate these data sources into our service offerings, our ability to provide

appropriate services to our members would be materially adversely impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also integrate into our internally developed applications and use third-party software to support our technology infrastructure. Some of this software is proprietary and some is open source software. These technologies may not be available to us in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all and could be difficult to replace once integrated into our own internally developed applications. Most of these licenses can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Our inability to obtain, maintain or comply with any of these licenses could delay development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive and our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses to compete directly with us. Our use of third-party technologies exposes us to increased risks, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into our solutions, the diversion of our resources from development of our own internally developed technology and our inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. In addition, if our data suppliers choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future, we might not be able to modify or adapt our own solutions.

We may be subject to legal proceedings and litigation, including intellectual property, privacy and medical malpractice disputes, which are costly to defend and could materially harm our business and results of operations.

We may be party to lawsuits and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. These matters are often expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. We may face allegations, lawsuits and regulatory inquiries, audits and investigations regarding data privacy, security, labor and employment, consumer protection and intellectual property infringement, including claims related to privacy, patents, publicity, trademarks, copyrights and other rights. We may also face allegations or litigation related to our acquisitions, securities issuances or business practices, including public disclosures about our business. Litigation and regulatory proceedings may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict. Certain of these matters may include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages and include claims for injunctive relief. Additionally, our litigation costs could be significant. Adverse outcomes with respect to litigation or any of these legal proceedings may result in significant settlement costs or judgments, penalties and fines, or require us to modify our services or require us to stop serving certain members or geographies, all of which could negatively impact our geographic expansion and revenue growth. We may also become subject to periodic audits, which would likely increase our regulatory compliance costs and may require us to change our business practices, which could negatively impact our revenue growth. Managing legal proceedings, litigation and audits, even if we achieve favorable outcomes, is time-consuming and diverts management’s attention from our business.

The results of regulatory proceedings, litigation, claims, and audits cannot be predicted with certainty, and determining reserves for pending litigation and other legal, regulatory and audit matters requires significant judgment. There can be no assurance that our expectations will prove correct, and even if these matters are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could harm our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock.

We also may be subject to lawsuits under the FCA and comparable state laws for submitting allegedly fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate bills for services to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These lawsuits, which may be initiated by government authorities as well as private party relators, can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorney fees and the award of bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring

these suits, as well as to the government programs. In recent years, government oversight and law enforcement have become increasingly active and aggressive in investigating and taking legal action against potential fraud and abuse.

Furthermore, our business exposes us to potential medical malpractice, professional negligence or other related actions or claims that are inherent in the provision of healthcare services. These claims, with or without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business, harm our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract and retain members, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we maintain third-party directors’ and officers’ professional liability insurance coverage, it is possible that claims against us may exceed the coverage limits of our insurance policies. Even if any professional liability loss is covered by an insurance policy, these policies typically have substantial deductibles for which we are responsible. Professional liability claims in excess of applicable insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any professional liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in an increase of our professional liability insurance premiums. Insurance coverage varies in cost and can be difficult to obtain, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. If our costs of insurance and claims increase, then our earnings could decline.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects.

Our existing indebtedness, or any additional indebtedness we may incur, could require us to divert funds identified for other purposes for debt service and impair our liquidity position. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to refinance our debt, dispose of assets or issue equity to obtain necessary funds. We do not know whether we will be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us or at all.

Our current and future levels of indebtedness and the cash flow needed to satisfy our debt have important consequences, including:

 

   

limiting funds otherwise available for financing our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general corporate purposes by requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of debt and the interest on this debt;

 

   

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;

 

   

increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest;

 

   

limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete; and

 

   

making us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business.

Our level of indebtedness may place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that are not as highly leveraged. Fluctuations in interest rates can increase borrowing costs. Increases in interest rates may directly impact the amount of interest we are required to pay and reduce earnings accordingly. In addition, developments in tax policy, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for interest paid on outstanding indebtedness, could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

 

106


Table of Contents

Substantially all of our indebtedness is floating rate debt. As a result, an increase in interest rates generally would adversely affect our profitability. We may enter into pay-fixed interest rate swaps to limit our exposure to changes in floating interest rates. Such instruments may result in economic losses should interest rates decline to a point lower than our fixed rate commitments. We would be exposed to credit- related losses, which could impact the results of operations in the event of fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to a change in the credit worthiness or non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.

We will be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing our existing indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to several significant qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.

We expect to use cash flow from operations to meet current and future financial obligations, including funding our operations, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. The ability to make these payments depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic, industry and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, economic and other factors beyond our control.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service all of our indebtedness, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under such indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance outstanding debt obligations depends on our financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic, industry and competitive conditions and by financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a sufficient level of cash flow from operating activities to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. Any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in penalties or defaults, which would also harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict our business operations. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such cash flows and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to sell material assets or operations to attempt to meet our debt service obligations. If we cannot meet our debt service obligations, the holders of our indebtedness may accelerate such indebtedness, terminate their commitments to make additional loans, cease to making further loans, and, to the extent such indebtedness is secured, foreclose on our assets and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. In such an event, we may not have sufficient assets to repay all of our indebtedness.

We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness.

We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to enable us to repay or refinance our debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

The terms of the Credit Agreement restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests, including restrictions on our ability to:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

 

   

incur liens;

 

   

pay dividends and distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock;

 

   

make investments, acquisitions, loans, or advances;

 

   

engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions;

 

   

sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

 

   

change of the nature of our business;

 

   

prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; and

 

   

designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Under certain circumstances, the restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement require us to satisfy certain financial maintenance tests. Our ability to satisfy those tests can be affected by events beyond our control.

As a result of the restrictions described above, we will be limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under such document. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt, which may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In the event the holders of our indebtedness accelerate the repayment, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness or be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms acceptable to us. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:

 

   

limited in how we conduct our business;

 

   

unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; or

 

   

unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

These restrictions, along with restrictions that may be contained in agreements evidencing or governing other future indebtedness, may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our growth strategy.

Any future credit facilities or debt instruments we may issue will likely contain similar, or potentially more expansive, events of default as compared to those set forth in the terms of our Credit Agreement, including those breaches or defaults with respect to any of our other outstanding debt instruments. The credit facilities under our Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and any indebtedness we incur in the future may also be so secured.

Table of Contents

We will be required to raise additional capital or generate cash flows to execute on our growth strategy, expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception and we intend to continue to make significant investments to support our business growth, respond to business challenges or opportunities, expand our services in new geographic locations, build additional de novo medical centers and execute our accretive acquisition strategy. We will need need to raise additional funds, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms or at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests. If we engage in additional debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, the covenants in our Credit Agreement may limit our ability to obtain additional debt, and any failure to adhere to these covenants could result in penalties or defaults that could further restrict our liquidity or limit our ability to obtain financing. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to, among other things:

 

   

develop and enhance our member services;

 

   

continue to expand our organization;

 

   

hire, train and retain employees;

 

   

respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements; or

 

   

pursue acquisition opportunities.

A decline in our operating results or available cash could cause us to experience difficulties in complying with covenants contained in our Credit Agreement, which could result in our bankruptcy or liquidation.

If we were to sustain a decline in our operating results or available cash, we could experience difficulties in complying with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. The failure to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default under our Credit Agreement and by reason of cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions, other indebtedness may then become immediately due and payable. In addition, should an event of default occur, the lenders under our Credit Agreement could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our warehouse facilities or lines of credit to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our Credit Agreement and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our Credit Agreement, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Being a Public Company

Certain of our investors will have significant influence over us after completion of the Business Combination, and their interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future.

Immediately following the Business Combination, investment entities affiliated with InTandem Capital Partners and the Sponsor, or, collectively, the Lead Investors, will own, collectively, approximately     % of our outstanding common stock, assuming that none of JAWS’ outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, or approximately     % of our outstanding common stock, assuming that all of JAWS’ outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. For so long as the Lead Investors continue to own a significant percentage of our stock, the Lead Investors will be able to significantly influence the composition of our board and the approval of actions requiring shareholder approval.

 

109


Table of Contents

Accordingly, for such period of time, the Lead Investors will have significant influence with respect to our management, business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers, decisions on whether to raise future capital and amending our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which govern the rights attached to our common stock. In particular, for so long as the Lead Investors continue to own a significant percentage of our stock, the Lead Investors will be able to cause or prevent a change of control of us or a change in the composition of our board and could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us. The concentration of ownership could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your shares of common stock as part of a sale of us and ultimately might affect the market price of our common stock.

The Lead Investors and their affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in the healthcare industry generally. In the ordinary course of their business activities, the Lead Investors and their affiliates may engage in activities where their interests conflict with our interests or those of our other shareholders, such as investing in or advising businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. In addition, the Lead Investors may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

As a public company, we will incur legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not previously incur. We will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert our management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These additional obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of our management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Most members of our management team have limited or no experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage us as a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our independent registered public accountants have identified a number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, or if other control deficiencies are identified, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our independent registered public accountants identified a number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses that were identified were as follows:

 

   

We failed to establish controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information used to estimate and record certain accruals or make other closing adjustments in the financial statement close process.

 

   

We failed in the process of accounting for business combinations related to the design and operation of controls to record and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests recognized as part of a business combination.

 

   

Furthermore, we did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and oversight commensurate with their financial reporting requirements to ensure proper selection and application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

We have begun to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses, and to further strengthen our accounting staff and internal controls, by temporarily engaging external accounting and risk and control experts with the appropriate knowledge to supplement our internal resources. We plan to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses and improve our accounting function, including:

 

   

hiring additional senior level and staff accountants to support the timely completion of financial close procedures and provide additional needed technical expertise; and

 

   

in the interim, continuing to engage third parties as required to assist with technical accounting, application of new accounting standards, tax matters and valuations and the technical accounting associated with business combinations resulting from potential future acquisitions.

While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the implementation of these procedures is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. We cannot be certain that these measures will successfully remediate the material weaknesses or that other material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be discovered in the future. If our efforts are not successful or other material weaknesses or control deficiencies occur in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately on a timely basis or help prevent fraud, which could cause our reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence or delisting and cause the market price of our shares to decline.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will be obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock. In addition, because of our status as an emerging growth company, you will not be able to depend on any attestation from our independent registered public accountants as to our internal control over financial reporting for the foreseeable future.

When we become a public company, following the completion of the Business Combination, we will be required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our second annual report following the completion of the Business Combination. The process of designing and implementing internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this requirement will be time-consuming, costly and complicated. If during the evaluation and testing process we identify one or more other material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or determine that existing material weaknesses have not been remediated, our management will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. See “— Our independent registered public accountants have identified a number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, or if other control deficiencies are identified, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner.” In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest formally to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until the later of the filing of our second annual report following the completion of the Business Combination or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Accordingly, you will not be able to depend on any attestation concerning our internal control over financial reporting from our independent registered public accountants for the foreseeable future.

We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and any remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue an adverse opinion due to ineffective internal controls over financial reporting, and we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. As a result, there could be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. In addition, we may be required to incur costs in improving our internal control system and the hiring of additional personnel. Any such action could negatively affect our results of operations and cash flows.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we expect to elect to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements, which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we are eligible for certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements. These exemptions include, but are not limited to, (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder

approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved, (iv) not being required to provide audited financial statements for certain periods and (v) an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years after the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. If, however, certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non- convertible debt in any three-year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period. Based on, among other things, our projected revenue and market capitalization, we may lose emerging growth company status as early as December 31, 2021. We have made certain elections with regard to the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this proxy statement/prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced disclosure obligations in future filings. In addition, we will choose to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. As a result, the information that we provide to holders of our common stock may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of reliance on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choice we make to reduce disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the market price for our common stock may be more volatile.

Provisions of our corporate governance documents could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our shareholders.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be effective in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our shareholders. Among other things, these provisions:

 

   

allow us to authorize the issuance of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and the shares of which may be issued without shareholder approval, and which may include supermajority voting, special approval, dividend, or other rights or preferences superior to the rights of shareholders;

 

   

provide for a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms;

 

   

provide that any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of our bylaws or certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation by our shareholders will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon as a class; and

 

   

establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by shareholders at shareholder meetings.

These provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors of your choosing and cause us to take other corporate actions you desire, including actions that you may deem advantageous, or negatively affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, because our board is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our shareholders to replace current members of our management team.

These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for shareholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board or initiate actions that are opposed by our then-current board, including delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. The existence of these provisions could negatively affect the price of our common stock and limit opportunities for you to realize value in a corporate transaction. For information regarding these and other provisions, see “Description of the Company’s Securities.”

Our bylaws will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Pursuant to our bylaws to be effective in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our shareholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, (4) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (5) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (6) any other action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The forgoing provisions will not apply to any claims arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act.

This choice of forum provision in our bylaws may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

NYSE may not list our securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on NYSE, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with NYSE’s listing requirements. We will apply to have our securities listed on NYSE upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all listing requirements. Even if our securities are listed on NYSE, we may be unable to maintain the listing of our securities in the future.

If we fail to meet the listing requirements and NYSE does not list our securities on its exchange, we would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that we elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination was consummated without our securities being listed on the NYSE or on another national securities exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

   

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

 

   

reduced liquidity for our securities;

 

   

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

 

   

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

 

   

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If our securities were not listed on NYSE, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be

 

114


Table of Contents

subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell your shares.

An active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following the consummation of the Business Combination. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by issuing shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

Our operating results and stock price may be volatile.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. Our operating results and the trading price of our shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

 

   

market conditions in our industry or the broader stock market;

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results;

 

   

issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;

 

   

sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock;

 

   

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

   

regulatory, legislative or political developments;

 

   

litigation and governmental investigations;

 

   

changing economic conditions;

 

   

investors’ perception of us;

 

   

events beyond our control such as weather and war; and

 

   

any default on our indebtedness.

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our shares to fluctuate substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

Because we have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our common stock following the Business Combination, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We do not anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our common stock following the Business Combination. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board

 

115


Table of Contents

and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is currently restricted by the Credit Agreement and may in the future be limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Therefore, any return on investment in our common stock is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our common stock on the open market, which may not occur.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our shares or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could make it difficult for another company to acquire us or could otherwise adversely affect holders of our common stock, which could depress the price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue one or more series of preferred stock. Our board will have the authority to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by our shareholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of our common stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium to the market price, and materially adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws

Our Sponsor and certain of our officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor Parties have agreed to vote all their Public Shares and Class B ordinary shares in favor of all the proposals being presented at the Shareholders Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor Parties and other holders of the Class B ordinary shares own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Jaws’ shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance to the Seller of securities entitling it to a significant voting stake in the Company.

Based on PCIH’s and Jaws’ current capitalization (and the assumptions regarding the Business Combination Consideration paid at Closing described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), we anticipate the Seller retaining 305,741,594 PCIH Common Units. The Company will issue a share of Class B common stock to Seller for each PCIH Common Unit retained by the Seller, entitling the Seller to a number of votes on matters equal to the number of shares of Class B common stock retained by the Seller. Based on the assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently

 

116


Table of Contents

Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages,” Jaws’ current Public Shareholders would hold in the aggregate approximately     % of the outstanding voting power of the Company and the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors would hold approximately     % of the outstanding voting power. Without limiting the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages,” these ownership percentages do not take into account:

 

   

any warrants or options to purchase the Class A common stock that will be outstanding following the Business Combination; and

 

   

any equity awards that may be issued under the proposed Equity Incentive Plan or the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

If any of the Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage of the Company’s outstanding voting stock held by the current holders of Jaws will decrease relative to the percentage held if none of the Public Shares are redeemed. To the extent that any of the outstanding warrants are exercised for shares of Class A common stock, Jaws’ existing shareholders may experience substantial dilution. Such dilution could, among other things, limit the ability of Jaws’ current shareholders to influence the Company’s management through the election of directors following the Business Combination.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to drop significantly, even if the Company’s business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of the Class A common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of the Class A common stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors will own approximately 4.7% of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock, including 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by certain officers and directors of Jaws in the PIPE, assuming no Public Shareholders redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination or approximately 4.8% of the outstanding Class A common stock assuming that 44,101,400 Public Shares (being our estimate of the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination in order to satisfy the closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. While the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors will agree, and will continue to be subject, to certain restrictions regarding the transfer of the Class A common stock, these shares may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up restrictions. We may file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of the Class A common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The ability of Jaws’ shareholders to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Jaws’ Public Shares may prevent Jaws from completing the Business Combination or optimizing its capital structure.

Jaws does not know how many shareholders will ultimately exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the Business Combination is structured based on Jaws’ expectations (and those of the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement) as to the number of shares that will be submitted for Redemption. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for Redemption than Jaws initially expected, Jaws may need to seek to arrange for additional third party financing to be able to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition at Closing (or such lower cash amount designated by the Seller if the Seller waives the condition).

If too many Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares and additional third-party financing is not available to Jaws, Jaws may not be able to complete the Business Combination. Even if such third-party financing is available, Jaws’ ability to obtain such financing is subject to restrictions set forth in the Business

Combination Agreement. For information regarding the parameters of such restrictions, please see the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Covenants of the Parties” and “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions.

Furthermore, raising such additional financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. For information on the consequences if the Business Combination is not completed or must be restructured, please see the section of this proxy statement/ prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the Company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Jaws cannot assure you that the due diligence Jaws has conducted on PCIH will reveal all material issues that may be present with regard to PCIH, or that factors outside of Jaws’ or PCIH’s control will not later arise. As a result of unidentified issues or factors outside of Jaws’ or PCIH’s control, the Company may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses. Even if Jaws’ due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with the preliminary risk analysis conducted by Jaws. Even though these charges may be non-cash items that would not have an immediate impact on the Company’s liquidity, the fact that the Company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the Company to violate leverage or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares from any such write-down or write-downs.

The Company’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the Company Board and PCIH’s key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the Company’s business following the Business Combination.

The Company’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the Company Board and key personnel. Jaws cannot assure you that, following the Business Combination, the Company Board and the Company’s key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with the Company. In addition to the other challenges they will face, such individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause the Company’s management to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such requirements.

The Company will be a holding company and its only material asset after completion of the Business Combination will be its interest in PCIH, and it is accordingly dependent upon distributions made by its subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay dividends.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a holding company with no material assets other than its ownership of the PCIH Common Units and its managing member interest in PCIH. As a result, the Company will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. The Company’s ability to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay dividends will depend on the financial results and cash flows of PCIH and the distributions it receives from PCIH. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of PCIH for any reason could limit or impair PCIH’s ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, to the extent that the Company needs funds and PCIH are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of any financing arrangements, or PCIH is otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.

PCIH will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, generally will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax. Instead, taxable income will be allocated to holders of PCIH Common Units. Accordingly, the Company will be required to pay income taxes on its allocable share of any net taxable income of PCIH. Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, PCIH is obligated to make tax distributions to holders of PCIH Common Units (including the Company) calculated at certain assumed tax rates. In addition to income taxes, the Company will also incur expenses related to its operations, including payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be significant, and some of which will be reimbursed by PCIH (excluding payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement). See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Tax Receivable Agreement.” The Company intends to cause PCIH to make ordinary distributions and tax distributions to holders of PCIH Common Units on a pro rata basis in amounts sufficient to cover all applicable taxes, relevant operating expenses, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and dividends, if any, declared by the Company. However, as discussed below, PCIH’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions including, but not limited to, retention of amounts necessary to satisfy the obligations of PCIH and restrictions on distributions that would violate any applicable restrictions contained in PCIH’s debt agreements, or any applicable law, or that would have the effect of rendering PCIH insolvent. To the extent that the Company is unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial.

Additionally, although PCIH generally will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax, it may be liable for adjustments to its tax return, absent an election to the contrary arising out of audits of its tax returns for 2018 and subsequent years. In the event PCIH’s calculations of taxable income are incorrect, PCIH and/or its members, including the Company, in later years may be subject to material liabilities.

The Company anticipates that the distributions it will receive from PCIH may, in certain periods, exceed the Company’s actual tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company Board, in its sole discretion, may make any determination from time to time with respect to the use of any such excess cash so accumulated, which may include, among other uses, to pay dividends on the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than any declared dividend) to its stockholders. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.”

Dividends on the Company’s common stock, if any, will be paid at the discretion of the Company Board, which will consider, among other things, the Company’s available cash, available borrowings and other funds legally available therefor, taking into account the retention of any amounts necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Company that will not be reimbursed by PCIH, including taxes and amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement and any restrictions in then applicable bank financing agreements. Financing arrangements may include restrictive covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to its stockholders. In addition, PCIH is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of PCIH (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. PCIH’s subsidiaries are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to PCIH. If PCIH does not have sufficient funds to make distributions, the Company’s ability to declare and pay cash dividends may also be restricted or impaired.

Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to the extent payments are made to Seller and to each other person that becomes a “TRA Party” to the agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’ proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85, and those payments may be substantial.

The Seller will sell PCIH Common Units for the consideration paid pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and may in the future exchange its PCIH Common Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company (or cash) pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions as set forth therein and in the Investor Agreement. These sales, purchases, redemptions and exchanges are expected to result in increases in the Company’s allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of PCIH. These increases in tax basis may increase (for income tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future had such sales and exchanges never occurred.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by it to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, of 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. The Company has recorded an estimated tax receivable liability of $33.3 million assuming (1) $465.3 million of cash paid to historical owners of PCIH, (2) a share price equal to $10.00 per share, (3) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (4) no material changes in tax law, (5) the ability to utilize tax attributes and (6) future tax receivable agreement payments. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. However, due to the uncertainty of various factors, including: (1) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (2) no material changes in tax law and (3) the ability to utilize tax attributes, the likely tax savings we will realize and the resulting amounts we are likely to pay pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are uncertain. If Seller were to exchange their PCIH equity interests for Company Class A common stock at Closing, the Company would recognize a liability of approximately $1,138.4 million. These payments are the obligation of the Company and not of PCIH. The actual increase in the Company’s allocable share of PCIH’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of the recognition of the Company’s income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that the Company will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of its control, the Company expects that the payments it will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Any payments made by the Company under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to the Company. To the extent

 

120


Table of Contents

that the Company is unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; however, nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, as further described below. Furthermore, the Company’s future obligation to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make it a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that may be deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

In addition, by reason of the payments made to the Sponsor, the Company is not expected to retain any of the tax benefits stemming from events that gave rise to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may exceed the actual tax benefits the Company realizes or be accelerated.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that the Company determines, and the IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or any part of the tax basis increases, as well as other tax positions that the Company takes, and a court may sustain such a challenge. In the event that any tax benefits initially claimed by the Company are disallowed, the Seller and the exchanging holders will not be required to reimburse the Company for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made to such holders will be netted against any future cash payments otherwise required to be made by the Company, if any, after the determination of such excess. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by the Company may not arise for a number of years following the initial time of such payment or, even if challenged early, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments that the Company might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments against which to net. As a result, in certain circumstances the Company could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the Company’s actual income or franchise tax savings, which could materially impair the Company’s financial condition.

Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) the Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) certain changes of control of the Company occur (as described in the Tax Receivable Agreement), or (iii) the Company breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will accelerate and the Company will be required to make a lump-sum cash payment to certain parties to the agreement, the Sponsor and/or other applicable parties to the Tax Receivable Agreement equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which lump-sum payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Company’s future taxable income. The lump-sum payment could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that the Company realizes subsequent to such payment because such payment would be calculated assuming, among other things, that the Company would have certain tax benefits available to it and that the Company would be able to use the potential tax benefits in future years.

There may be a material negative effect on the Company’s liquidity if the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual income or franchise tax savings that the Company realizes. Furthermore, the Company’s obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control.

Some of Jaws’ officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether PCIH is appropriate for Jaws’ initial business combination.

The personal and financial interests of Jaws’ Sponsor, officers and directors may influence or have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target for the Business Combination, their support for completing the Business Combination and the operation of the Company following the Business Combination.

Jaws’ Sponsor and independent directors own 17,175,000 and an aggregate of 75,000 Class B ordinary shares, respectively, which were initially acquired prior to Jaws’ IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 and Jaws’ directors and officers have pecuniary interests in such ordinary shares through their ownership interest in the Sponsor. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $         million based on the last sale price of $         per share on the NYSE on                     , 2021. In addition, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable for one ordinary share of Jaws at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $15,800,000, or $1.50 per warrant. Jaws’ Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association require Jaws to complete an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or May 18, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) (unless Jaws submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date). If the Business Combination is not completed and Jaws is forced to wind up, dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Class B ordinary shares currently held by Jaws’ Sponsor and independent directors and the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and/or the independent directors will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such ordinary shares).

Jaws’ Sponsor, directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have incurred significant out-of-pocket expenses in connection with performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations and the negotiation of the Business Combination. At the Closing, Jaws’ Sponsor, directors and officers, and their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Jaws’ behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations. If an initial business combination is not completed prior to May 18, 2022, Jaws’ Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement.

Certain officers and directors of Jaws also participate in arrangements that may be argued to provide them with other interests in the Business Combination that are different from yours, including, among others, arrangements for the continued service as directors of the Company.

Further, Jaws’ Sponsor, officers and directors have, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, each agreed (i) to vote any Jaws shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and (ii) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

These interests, among others, may influence or have influenced the Sponsor and the officers and directors of Jaws to support or approve the Business Combination. For more information concerning the interests of Jaws’ officers and directors, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Jaws has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the terms of the Business Combination are fair to Jaws from a financial point of view.

The Jaws Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Business Combination. Jaws is not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from another independent firm that the price

it is paying is fair to Jaws from a financial point of view. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Jaws Board and Jaws’ management conducted due diligence on PCIH and researched the industry in which PCIH operates and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of its shareholders. Accordingly, Jaws’ shareholders will be relying solely on the judgment of the Jaws Board in determining the value of the Business Combination, and the Jaws Board may not have properly valued such business. The lack of third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand Redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Jaws Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

If the Minimum Cash Condition is waived, Jaws does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible to complete a Business Combination in which a substantial majority of Jaws’ shareholders do not intend to retain their investment in which case the Seller may receive a greater number of PCIH Common Units as a result of redemptions.

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will Jaws redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets, without regard to any assets or liabilities of the Target Companies, to be less than $5,000,001 immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination (such that Jaws is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement contained in the Business Combination Agreement.

As a result of these conditions, Jaws may be able to complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of Jaws’ Public Shareholders do not agree with the Business Combination and have redeemed their shares, in which case the Seller may receive a greater number of PCIH Common Units as a result of redemptions.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, the Jaws Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Jaws Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Shareholders Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the Jaws Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

The NYSE may delist the Company’s securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in the Company’s securities and subject the Company to additional trading restrictions.

Jaws’ Public Shares, Public Warrants and Units are currently listed on the NYSE and it is a condition to Seller’s obligations to complete the Business Combination that the Company materially comply with its covenant that the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall have been approved for listing on the NYSE.

However, Jaws cannot assure you that the Company’s securities will continue to be listed on the NYSE in the future. In order to continue listing our securities on the NYSE prior to the Business Combination, we must maintain certain financial, share price and, subject to change as a result of recent rule changes proposed by the NYSE, distribution levels. Generally, we must maintain a minimum market capitalization (generally

 

123


Table of Contents

$50,000,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (currently 300 public holders). In addition, our units will not be traded after completion of the Business Combination, and, in connection with the Business Combination and as a condition to the Seller’s obligations to complete the Business Combination, the Company is required to demonstrate compliance with NYSE’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than NYSE’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of the Company’s securities on the NYSE. For instance, our share price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share and our market capitalization would generally be required to be at least $150,000,000. In addition to the listing requirements for the Company’s Class A common stock, the NYSE imposes listing standards on warrants. Jaws cannot assure you that the Company will be able to meet those initial listing requirements, in which case PCIH will not be obligated to complete the Business Combination. In addition, it is possible that the Company’s Class A common stock and Public Warrants will cease to meet the NYSE listing requirements following the Business Combination.

If NYSE delists the Company’s securities from trading on its exchange and the Company is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, Jaws expects the Company’s securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the Company could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

   

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

 

   

reduced liquidity for its securities;

 

   

a determination that the Company’s Class A common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Company’s securities;

 

   

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

 

   

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our units and our Class A ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the NYSE, our units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants qualify as covered securities under the statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

As a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE listing standards, the Company will qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. The Company has the opportunity to elect any of the exemptions afforded a controlled company.

Because the Seller will control more than a majority of the total voting power of the Company’s common stock following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE listing standards. Under NYSE rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by another person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled company” and may elect no to comply with the following NYSE rules regarding corporate governance:

 

   

the requirement that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors;

 

   

the requirement that the board have a nominating and governance committee that its compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

 

124


Table of Contents
   

the requirement that the board have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

The Company currently expects that upon consummation of the Business Combination, six of its nine directors will be independent directors, and it is expected that the Company Board will have an independent compensation committee, nominating committee and governance committee (in addition to an independent audit committee). Additionally, for as long as the “controlled company” exemption is available, the Company Board in the future may not consist of a majority of independent directors. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE rules regarding corporate governance.

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our Public Shares.

Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for the Company following consummation of the Business Combination. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline. While we expect research analyst coverage following consummation of the Business Combination, if no analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and volume for our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” may not be representative of the combined Company’s results if the Business Combination is completed.

Jaws and PCIH currently operate as separate companies and have had no prior history as a combined entity, and PCIH’s and the Company’s operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Business Combination been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the Company. The pro forma statement of operations does not reflect future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of future market conditions on revenues or expenses. The pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” has been derived from Jaws’ and PCIH’s historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Company after giving effect to the Business Combination. There may be differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting, which could result in material differences from the pro forma information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus in respect of the estimated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of the Company.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Jaws will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement will discourage third parties from submitting alternative

 

125


Table of Contents

takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Certain covenants in the Business Combination Agreement impede the ability of Jaws to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, Jaws may be at a disadvantage to its competitors during that period. In addition, while the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, neither Jaws nor PCIH may solicit, assist, facilitate the making, submission or announcement of, or intentionally encourage any alternative acquisition proposal, such as a merger, material sale of assets or equity interests or other business combination, with any third party, even though any such alternative acquisition could be more favorable to Jaws’ shareholders than the Business Combination. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Business Combination Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect.

If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination Agreement is approved by the shareholders of Jaws, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions.” Jaws and PCIH may not satisfy all of the closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such delay may cause Jaws and PCIH to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

Because Jaws is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Because Jaws is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. Jaws is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Jaws’ directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Jaws’ directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, Jaws’ corporate affairs are governed by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to Jaws under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Jaws’ shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against Jaws judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against Jaws predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far

 

126


Table of Contents

as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the Jaws Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants, including Public Shareholders exercising Redemption Rights.

As discussed more fully under “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders,” the Domestication generally should constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as Jaws, this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position. If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder (as that term is defined in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders”) of Jaws Shares generally would recognize a gain or loss with respect to its Jaws Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding common stock of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares surrendered. Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. Holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code, and as a result:

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares, will generally not recognize any gain or loss and will generally not be required to include any part of Jaws’ earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, but who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Jaws Shares for shares in the Company (a Delaware corporation) pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation

 

127


Table of Contents
 

Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

 

   

a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Jaws Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication , that should qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Jaws Shares or Public Warrants for the common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation pursuant to the Domestication under the “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, rules of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging Public Warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Jaws Shares or Public Warrants surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because Jaws is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that Jaws is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants to recognize gain on the exchange of such shares or warrants for common stock or warrants of the Delaware corporation pursuant to the Domestication, unless, in the case of only common stock, such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Jaws Shares. A U.S. Holder cannot currently make the aforementioned elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Warrants. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Jaws. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted.

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders” below) to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s Company shares after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors for a full description and understanding of the tax consequences of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of the Company’s common stock arising under the DGCL will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Jaws’ ordinary shares arising under Cayman Islands law.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of the Company’s common stock will arise under the DGCL. The DGCL contains provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Cayman

 

128


Table of Contents

Islands Companies Act, and, therefore, some rights of holders of the Company’s common stock could differ from the rights that holders of Jaws ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under Delaware law. This change could increase the likelihood that the Company becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of the Company’s common stock under the DGCL and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Jaws ordinary shares under Cayman Islands law, please see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination differ from the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. Among other differences, the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Company Board and therefore depress the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the Company Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in management. Among other things, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws include provisions regarding:

 

   

a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Company Board;

 

   

the ability of the Company Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

 

   

the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, the Company’s directors and officers;

 

   

the right of the Company Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Company Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Company Board;

 

   

the requirement that directors may only be removed from the Company Board for cause;

 

   

the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Company Board, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

 

   

controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of the Company Board and stockholder meetings;

 

   

the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of (i) (a) at least 66-2/3%, in case of certain provisions, or (b) a majority, in case of other provisions, of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and (ii) (a) at least 66-2/3%, in case of certain provisions, or (b) a majority, in case of other provisions, of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions of the Company’s Bylaws, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the Company Board and also may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

 

129


Table of Contents
   

the ability of the Company Board to amend the Bylaws, which may allow the Company Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the Bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

 

   

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the Company Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the Company Board and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Company.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Company Board or management.

Any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of the Company’s capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for the Company’s common stock.

The forms of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are attached as Annex C and D to this proxy statement/prospectus and we urge you to read them.

The Certificate of Incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by the Company’s stockholders, which could limit the Company’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees.

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended or restated) or the Bylaws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article XII of the Certificate of Incorporation will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal

Table of Contents

courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder.

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, stockholders, agents or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of the Company’s management and board of directors.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, certain significant Company stockholders and PCIH members whose interests may differ from those of Company public stockholders following the Business Combination will have the ability to significantly influence the Company’s business and management.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the directors on the Company Board immediately following the Closing Date will be Barry Sternlicht, Elliot Cooperstone, Dr. Marlow Hernandez and the six individuals to be identified by Dr. Hernandez, subject to the reasonable approval of Jaws, Cano America and InTandem. Accordingly, the Seller will be able to significantly influence the approval of actions requiring Company Board approval through their voting power. Such stockholders will retain significant influence with respect to the Company’s management, business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of its officers. In particular, the Seller could influence whether acquisitions, dispositions and other change of control transactions are approved.

The Certificate of Incorporation will not limit the ability of the Sponsor or its affiliates to compete with the Company.

The Sponsor and its affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in the healthcare industry. In the ordinary course of their business activities, the Sponsor and its affiliates may engage in activities where their interests conflict with the Company’s interests or those of its stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that none of the Sponsor, any of its affiliates or any director who is not employed by the Company (including any non-employee director who serves as one of its officers in both his director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company operates. The Sponsor and its affiliates also may pursue, in their capacities other than as directors of the Company, acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to the Company’s business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to the Company. In addition, the Sponsor may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you.

Jaws’ officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into agreements concerning Jaws’ securities prior to the Shareholders Meeting, which may have the effect of increasing the likelihood of completion of the Business Combination or decreasing the value of the Jaws Shares.

At any time prior to the Shareholders Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Jaws or its securities, Jaws’ officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into a written plan to purchase Jaws’ securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. In addition, at any time prior to the Shareholders Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Jaws or its securities, Jaws’ officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may (i) purchase

 

131


Table of Contents

shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal or the other Shareholder Proposals, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from institutional and other investors in the future, and/or (iii) enter into transactions with institutional and other investors to provide such persons with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or the other Shareholder Proposals. Such an agreement may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption Rights. In the event that Jaws’ officers and directors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling Public Shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer of shares or Warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value to such investors or holders.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions by Jaws’ officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (x) the holders of the requisite number of Jaws Shares present and voting at the Shareholders Meeting vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals and/or (y) Jaws will (without regard to any assets or liabilities of the Target Companies) have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets immediately prior to the Closing or satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition account holders of Public Shares that properly demanded Redemption of their shares for cash, when, in each case, it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Jaws Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Shareholders Meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, except as noted above and except for the Subscription Agreements entered into by certain directors and officers of Jaws in connection with the PIPE Investment, Jaws’ directors and officers and their affiliates have not entered into any such agreements. Jaws will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the Redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The Company’s business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause the Company to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and board of directors’ attention and resources from the Company’s business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to the Company’s future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, the Company may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist shareholder matters. Further, its stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.

Since the Business Combination Agreement requires us to meet the Minimum Cash Condition at Closing, there is increased probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until we liquidate the Trust Account. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your shares in the open market; however, at such time our shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with our redemption until we liquidate or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “Float” of our Class A ordinary shares.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase shares or Public Warrants in such transactions.

In the event that the Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of any such purchases of shares would be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of Public Warrants would be to reduce the number of Public Warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares or Public Warrants and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of the Company might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

If a shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, such shares may not be redeemed.

We will comply with the proxy rules, when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. Despite our compliance with these rules, if a shareholder fails to receive our proxy solicitation, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, the proxy solicitation that we furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem or tender Public Shares. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

You have no rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our Public Shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur), and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur); and (iii) the redemption of our Public Shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

If you or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our Class A ordinary shares, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our Class A ordinary shares.

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO without our prior consent, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.” However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the Business Combination. And as a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Since the consummation of the IPO, we have sought and will continue to seek to have vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses, including the Seller in the Business Combination, and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders. However, in certain instances we have not been able to obtain such a waiver in agreements that we have executed. Further, under certain circumstances parties that have executed such a waiver may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account,

 

134


Table of Contents

including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If determining whether to enter into an agreement with a third party that refuses to execute a waiver of such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management has and will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us, and have historically only entered into agreements with third parties without such a waiver in situations where management believes that such third party’s engagement is in the best interests of the Company under the circumstances.

Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we are unable to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the initial business combination, we may be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Although no such claims have been brought against us or threatened to date, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per Public Share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors to the extent they are brought in the future. Pursuant to a letter agreement, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of Public Shares).

 

135


Table of Contents

Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate the Business Combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:

 

   

restrictions on the nature of our investments; and

 

   

restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination.

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

 

   

registration as an investment company;

 

   

adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

 

   

reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing,

Table of Contents

reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

We do not believe that our principal activities and the Business Combination will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. An investment in our securities is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of our initial business combination (which shall be the Business Combination should it occur); (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with an initial business combination (which shall be the Business Combination should it occur); or (iii) absent an initial business combination (which shall be the Business Combination should it occur) within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, our return of the funds held in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders as part of our redemption of the Public Shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete a business combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination, our Public Shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to consummate the Business Combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to consummate the Business Combination, and results of operations.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, our Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such 24 months before redemption from our Trust Account.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination (which shall be the Business Combination should it occur) within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, the proceeds then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes paid or payable), will be used to fund the redemption of our Public Shares, as further described herein. Any redemption of Public Shareholders from the Trust Account will be effected automatically pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions

of Cayman Islands law. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond 24 months from the closing of the IPO before the redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate our initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their Class A ordinary shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete our initial business combination.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and the Company to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of the Trust Account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,292.68 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

You may only be able to exercise your Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer Class A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

The warrant agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of warrants who seek to exercise their warrants will not be permitted to do for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement; (ii) if we have so elected and the Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if we have so elected and we call the Public Warrants for redemption. If you exercise your Public Warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering all of the warrants for that number of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of Class A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

The grant of registration rights to our shareholders and holders of our Private Placement Warrants and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Investor Agreement will replace the Original Registration Rights Agreement. The Investor Agreement in substantially the form it will be executed in connection with the Closing is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E. Pursuant to Investor Agreement, certain equityholders of the Company (including InTandem, Cano America, Sponsor, each of the directors and executive officers of the Company immediately after the Effective Time and the independent

directors of Jaws) will have customary registration rights (including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions) with respect to (i) the Class A common stock (including the Class A common stock issued in exchange for PCIH Common Units, upon the issuance thereof or lapse of transfer restrictions applicable thereto), (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) any common stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (i) and (ii) above by way of dividend, distribution, split or combination of securities, or any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization. We will bear the cost of registering these securities. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Class A common stock of the Company.

We may have been a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

Because Jaws is a blank check company with no current active operating business, we believe that it is likely that Jaws is classified as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we have been a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a beneficial owner of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants who or that is a “U.S. Holder” as that term is defined in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders,” such U.S. Holder may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements, including as a result of the Domestication. Our PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of each taxable year. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, Jaws will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information, and such election would be unavailable with respect to Public Warrants in all cases. The PFIC rules are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application and effect of the PFIC rules, including as a result of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.”

Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Changes in corporate tax rates , the realization of net deferred tax assets relating to our U.S. operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses under future tax reform legislation could have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, could result in significant one-time charges in the current or future taxable years, and could increase our future U.S. tax expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Certain U.S. state tax authorities may assert that we have a state nexus and seek to impose state and local income taxes which could harm our results of operations.

There is a risk that certain state tax authorities where we do not currently file a state income tax return could assert that we are liable for state and local income taxes based upon income or gross receipts allocable to such states. States are becoming increasingly aggressive in asserting a nexus for state income tax purposes. If a state tax authority successfully asserts that our activities give rise to a nexus, we could be subject to state and local taxation, including penalties and interest attributable to prior periods. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest may adversely impact our results of operations.

The provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that relate to our pre-business combination activity (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account) may be amended with the approval of holders of not less than two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company (or 65% of our ordinary shares with respect to amendments to the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account), which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other special purpose acquisition companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to facilitate the completion of the Business Combination that some of our shareholders may not support.

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that any of its provisions related to pre-Business Combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of warrants into the Trust Account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide Redemption Rights to Public Shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, meaning holders of not less than two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our ordinary shares. Jaws’ directors and executive officers, who collectively beneficially owned 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, will participate in any vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association which govern our pre-Business Combination behavior more easily than some other special purpose acquisition companies, and this may increase our ability to complete the Business Combination with which you do not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Sponsor, executive officers and directors agreed, pursuant to agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes paid or payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against the Sponsor, executive officers or directors for any breach of these agreements. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of Class A ordinary shares or Class A common stock, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last sale price of our Class A ordinary shares or Class A common stock, as applicable, equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of such redemption is given. We will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

In addition, we may redeem your warrants after they become exercisable for a number of Class A ordinary shares or Class A common stock, as applicable, determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A ordinary shares or Class A common stock, as applicable. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of the Class A ordinary shares or Class A common stock, as applicable, had your warrants remained outstanding.

Our warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

We issued warrants to purchase 23,000,000 of our Class A ordinary shares as part of the units offered in the IPO and, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued in a private placement an aggregate of 10,533,333, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. Upon the Domestication, the warrants will entitle the holders to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company. Such warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding Class A common stock and reduce the value of the Class A common stock.

SHAREHOLDERS MEETING

Jaws’ shareholders meeting is to be held at 9 a.m., Eastern Time, on                    , 2021, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 50 Floor, New York, New York 10022, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

A copy of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and D, respectively; and

 

   

to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, to the extent such issuance would require a shareholder vote under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03.

Vote “FOR” the NYSE Proposal; and

 

   

Vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposals.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote

Jaws has fixed the close of business on                    , 2021, as the Record Date for determining the Jaws shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. As of the close of business on such date, there were 69,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The Class A ordinary shares and the Class B ordinary shares vote together as a single class, except in the election of directors, as to which only the Class B ordinary shares vote, and each share is entitled to one vote per share at the Shareholders Meeting.

The Sponsor owns 17,175,000 Class B ordinary shares. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement among Jaws, the Sponsor and Jaws’ directors and officers, (i) the 17,175,000 Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and (ii) any other ordinary shares of Jaws owned by the Sponsor or Jaws’ officers and directors will be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the Shareholders Meeting. Under the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws agreed to enforce the voting obligations contained in the Sponsor Letter Agreement against the Sponsor and the Jaws officers and directors.

Quorum and Vote Required for Approval

A quorum of Jaws shareholders is necessary to hold the Shareholders Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of Jaws shareholders representing a majority of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote on the Shareholder Proposals to be considered at the Shareholders Meeting will constitute a quorum for the Shareholders Meeting.

Each of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is interdependent upon the others and must be approved in order for Jaws to complete the Business Combination as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. None of the Organizational Documents Proposals, which will be voted upon a non-binding advisory basis only, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. The Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal the Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposals are voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. The Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal will require a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal or the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal fails to receive the required approval, none of the Proposals will be approved and the Business Combination will not be completed.

Voting Your Shares

Each Jaws Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. If you are a record owner of your shares and/or warrants, there are two ways to vote your Jaws Shares at the Shareholders Meeting:

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Jaws Board “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and each of the Organizational Documents Proposal.

Table of Contents

You Can Attend the Shareholders Meeting and Vote in Person. When you arrive, you will receive a ballot that you may use to cast your vote.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the Shareholders Meeting and vote in person and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way Jaws can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Shareholder Proposals.

Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

   

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

   

you may notify Jaws’ secretary in writing before the Shareholders Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

   

You may attend the Shareholders Meeting, revoke your proxy and vote in person as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request of Jaws that the Company redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

  (i)

(a) hold Public Shares, or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares;

 

  (ii)

submit a written request to the Transfer Agent, in which you (a) request that the Company redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

 

  (iii)

deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by Jaws, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other Shareholder Proposals and whether they held Public Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds Public Shares of Jaws on or before, 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders Meeting) will have the right to demand that his or her Public Shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $         million on                     , 2021 and including anticipated additional interest through the closing of the Business Combination (assuming interest accrues at recent rates and no additional tax payments are made out of the Trust Account), the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $        . A Public Shareholder that has properly tendered his or her Public Shares for

 

144


Table of Contents

Redemption will be entitled to receive his or her pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such Public Shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the Redemptions will be canceled and the tendered Public Shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate.

Jaws Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand Redemption no later than             , Eastern Time, on                     , 2021 (two (2) business days before the Shareholders Meeting) by (i) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that Jaws redeem such Public Shareholder’s Public Shares for cash, (ii) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for Redemption if such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as described in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to Public Shares of Jaws and (iii) delivering their ordinary shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC System, at the Public Shareholder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the Shareholders Meeting. If a Public Shareholder holds the Public Shares in street name, such Public Shareholder will have to coordinate with his or her broker to have such Public Shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming Public Shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to Public Shareholders for the return of their shares.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public ordinary shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to the company unless the Board of Directors of the company determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder demands Redemption of such shares and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, he or she may simply request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

Any corrected or changed written demand of Redemption Rights must be received by Jaws’ secretary two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Shareholders Meeting. No demand for Redemption will be honored unless the Public Shareholder’s Share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their Redemption Rights and opting to deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms should allow sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is Jaws’ understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, Jaws does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the shareholder properly demands Redemption as described above and the Business Combination is completed. If a Public Shareholder properly seeks Redemption and the Business Combination is completed, Jaws will redeem these shares for cash and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, then the Public Shareholders who exercised their Redemption Rights will not be entitled to receive cash for their shares. In such case, Jaws will promptly return any shares delivered by the

 

145


Table of Contents

Public Shareholders. Jaws and PCIH will not complete the Business Combination if, immediately prior to the Closing and after payment of all transaction and other expenses payable by Jaws and payments for Redemptions (but without regard to any assets or liabilities of the Target Companies), Jaws does not have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. It is a condition to Seller’s obligations to complete the Business Combination that the Minimum Cash Condition be satisfied. However, the Seller may waive this condition in whole or in part. For more information, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as described in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of Jaws’ Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by Jaws.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors of Jaws have waived all of their Redemption Rights and will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any Jaws Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

The closing price of Jaws Class A ordinary shares on                     , 2021 was $        . The cash held in the Trust Account as of                     , 2021 was approximately $         per Public Share. Prior to exercising Redemption Rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Jaws Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares in the public market than from exercising their Redemption Rights if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption price. Jaws cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Jaws Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares. A Public Shareholder who properly exercises its Redemption Rights pursuant to the procedures set forth herein will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any amounts necessary to pay Jaws’ taxes.

Appraisal Rights

Jaws’ shareholders do not have appraisal rights under Cayman Islands law or otherwise in connection with the Business Combination Proposal or the other Proposals.

Proxy Solicitation

Jaws is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Jaws Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Jaws and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Jaws will bear all of the costs of the solicitation, which Jaws estimates will be approximately $         in the aggregate. Jaws has engaged Morrow as proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

Jaws will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Jaws will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Shareholders Meeting. A shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “— Revoking Your Proxy.”

Householding

The SEC has adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual reports and proxy statements. It permits Jaws, with your permission, to send a single notice of meeting and, to the extent requested, a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more Jaws shareholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. This rule is called “householding,” and its purpose is to help reduce printing and mailing costs of proxy materials.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding for shares held in “street name.” If you and members of your household have multiple accounts holding ordinary shares of Jaws, you may have received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus or wish to revoke your decision to household. These options are available to you at any time.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares?

If you are a holder of Jaws’ ordinary shares and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your securities, you may call Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing CCH.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 1: THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

Jaws is proposing to change its corporate structure and domicile from an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. This change will be implemented as a legal continuation of Jaws under the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware as described under the section entitled “— Manner of Effecting the Domestication and the Legal Effect of the Domestication.”

The Domestication will be effected by the filing of a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and filing an application to de-register Jaws with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. In connection with the Domestication, all outstanding securities of Jaws will convert to outstanding securities of the continuing Delaware corporation. The Domestication will become effective immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The proposed Certificate of Incorporation, which will become effective upon the Domestication, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

At the effective time of the Domestication, which will be the Closing Date, the separate existence of Jaws will cease as a Cayman Islands exempted company and will become and continue as a Delaware corporation. The Memorandum and Articles of Association will be replaced by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and your rights as a shareholder will cease to be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and you will become a stockholder of the Company with all rights as such governed by Delaware law.

In connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, the corporate name of Jaws will change to “Cano Health, Inc.”

Reasons for the Domestication

The Jaws Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Jaws, simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination, to effect the Domestication. The primary reason for the Domestication is to enable the Company to avoid certain taxes that would be imposed on the Company if the Company were to conduct an operating business in the United States as a foreign corporation following the Business Combination.

In addition, because the Company will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the Jaws Board that the Company should also be structured as a corporation organized in the United States. In addition, the Jaws Board believes Delaware provides a recognized body of corporate law that will facilitate corporate governance by the Company’s officers and directors. Delaware maintains a favorable legal and regulatory environment in which to operate. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging companies to incorporate there and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are regularly updated and revised to meet changing business needs. As a result, many corporations have initially chosen Delaware as their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in a manner similar to the procedures Jaws is proposing. Due to Delaware’s longstanding policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and consequently its prevalence as the state of incorporation, the Delaware courts have developed a considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing the DGCL and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. It is anticipated that the DGCL will continue to be interpreted and explained in a number of significant court decisions that may provide greater predictability with respect to the Company’s corporate legal affairs.

Table of Contents

Reasons for the Name Change

The Jaws Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Jaws to, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, change the corporate name to “Cano Health, Inc.” in order to more accurately reflect the business purpose and activities of the Company.

Regulatory Approvals; Third Party Consents

Jaws is not required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries in order to complete the Domestication; however, because the Domestication must occur immediately prior to the Business Combination, it will not occur unless the Business Combination can be completed, which will require the approvals as described below under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal.” Jaws must comply with applicable United States federal and state securities laws in connection with the Domestication, including the filing with NYSE of a press release disclosing the Domestication, among other things.

The Domestication will not breach any covenants or agreements binding upon Jaws and will not be subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements, except compliance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effect the Domestication.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Commencing with the effective time of the Domestication, which will be the Closing Date, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will govern the rights of stockholders in the Company.

A chart comparing your rights as a holder of ordinary shares of Jaws as a Cayman Islands exempted company with your rights as a holder of the Company’s Class A common stock as a Delaware corporation can be found below in “— Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication.”

Directors and Officers Following the Domestication and the Business Combination

Barry Sternlicht, Elliot Cooperstone, Dr. Marlow Hernandez and the six individuals to be identified by Dr. Hernandez, subject to the reasonable approval of Jaws, Cano America, LLC and ITC Rumba LLC, will comprise the Board appointed in connection with the Domestication and the completion of the Business Combination. The officers of the Company following the completion of the Domestication and the Business Combination will be the officers of PCIH who held such positions immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination and the Domestication.

Tax Consequences to Holders of Jaws Shares Who Receive Company Common Stock as a Result of the Domestication

In connection with the Domestication, holders of Jaws Shares who do not elect to exercise their Redemption Rights will receive shares of Class A common stock. For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the section entitled “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.

Manner of Effecting the Domestication and the Legal Effect of the Domestication

Delaware Law

Pursuant to Section 388 of the DGCL, a non-United States entity may become domesticated as a Delaware corporation by filing with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Corporate Domestication and a

 

149


Table of Contents

Certificate of Incorporation, certifying to the matters set forth in Section 388 of the DGCL. The Domestication must be approved in the manner provided for by the instrument or other writing governing the internal affairs of the non-United States entity and the conduct of its business or by applicable non-Delaware law, as appropriate and the Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by the same authorization required to approve the Domestication.

When a non-United States entity has become domesticated as a Delaware corporation, for all purposes of Delaware law, the corporation will be deemed to be the same entity as the domesticating non-United States entity and the domestication will constitute a continuation of the existence of the domesticating non-United States entity in the form of a Delaware corporation. When any domestication will have become effective, for all purposes of Delaware laws, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated and all property, real, personal and mixed and all debts due to such non-United States entity, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to such non-United States entity, will remain vested in the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also in the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication) and will be the property of such corporation (and also of the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication); but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of such non-United States entity will be preserved unimpaired and all debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated will remain attached to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also to the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication) and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as such corporation. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of the non-United States entity, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity, will not be deemed, as a consequence of the domestication, to have been transferred to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has domesticated for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware.

Cayman Islands Law

If the Domestication Proposal is approved, Jaws will also apply to deregister as a Cayman Islands exempted company pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Upon the deregistration, Jaws will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Except as provided in the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the deregistration will not affect the rights, powers, authorities, functions and liabilities or obligations of Jaws or any other person.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication

When the Domestication is completed, the rights of stockholders will be governed by Delaware law, including the DGCL, rather than by the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain differences exist between the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act that will alter certain of the rights of shareholders and affect the powers of the Company Board and management following the Domestication.

Shareholders should consider the following summary comparison of the laws of the Cayman Islands, on the one hand, and the DGCL, on the other. This comparison is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

The owners of a Delaware corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders.” For purposes of language consistency, in certain sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, we may continue to refer to the share owners of the Company as “shareholders.”

Appraisal Rights    Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger. Stockholders of a publicly traded corporation do, however, generally have appraisal rights in connection with a merger if they are required by the terms of a Business Combination Agreement to accept for their shares anything except: (a) shares or depository receipts of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger; (b) shares of stock or depository receipts that will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a) and (b) above; or (d) any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a), (b) and (c) above.    Shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.

Inspection of Books and Records    Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.    Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits    A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements.    In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company only in certain limited circumstances.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Organizational Documents Before and After the Domestication

When the Domestication is completed, the rights of shareholders will be governed by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, rather than the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (which will cease to be effective) and the rights of shareholders and the scope of the powers of the Company Board and management will be altered as a result.

the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.   
Authority of the Directors
The directors are empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Company; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of the Certificate of Incorporation, and to any Bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaw so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been made.    The business shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the company.
Liability of Directors
A director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this provision by the stockholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.    Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides for indemnification of officers and directors, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default.
Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Others
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative or any other type whatsoever, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against all    See “Liability of Directors” above

An indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Company the expenses(including attorney’s fees) incurred in appearing at, participating in or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Bylaws.

If any action that is the subject matter of which is within the scope of the foregoing is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the foregoing (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. If any provision of the Bylaws becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from the Bylaws, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of the Bylaws with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Company’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of the Bylaws shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the foregoing.

person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to the Company or any of its affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. The Company does not renounce its interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. A business opportunity will not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Company is neither financially or legally, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, (iii) is one in which the Company has no interest or expectancy or (iv) is presented to any account for the benefit of a member of the Board or such member’s affiliate over which such member of the Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.   
Transactions with Certain Stockholders/Shareholders
The Company has elected not to be subject to provisions Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits “interested stockholders” (stockholders holding 15% or more of the outstanding stock) from engaging in business combinations with the Company for a period of time unless certain conditions are met.    No Similar Provision

Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

The Domestication is being proposed solely for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of Jaws. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Jaws as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of Jaws immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those immediately prior to the Domestication.

We may complete the Business Combination only if it is approved by holders of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal or the NYSE Proposal fails to receive the required Jaws shareholder approval, the Business Combination will not be completed, unless such requirement otherwise is waived by the Seller in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement” are defined in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other dates specified therein. The assertions embodied in or by those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties thereto and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating, and as set forth in, the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from the standard generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the Business Combination Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Jaws, the Sponsor, Merger Sub, the Seller, PCIH, any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries or any other matter.

On November 11, 2020, Jaws, Merger Sub, the Seller and PCIH entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the following transactions:

(a)     On the Closing Date, prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), Jaws will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and transferring by way of continuation and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, upon which Jaws will change its name to “Cano Health, Inc.”

(b)    On the Closing Date, promptly following the consummation of the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into PCIH, with PCIH surviving the merger and becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company.

(c)    Seller will receive PCIH Common Units, which are the non-voting economic interests in PCIH, and shares of Class B common stock, which are the non-economic voting interests in the Company, and the Cash Consideration.

(d)    Existing stockholders of Jaws will retain Class A common stock, which are the voting common stock in the Company, and the Company will act as the managing member of PCIH and hold PCIH Common Units, which are the non-voting economic interests in PCIH.

(e)    The Company will contribute the proceeds of its Trust Account (after giving effect of the Redemptions), together with the proceeds from the PIPE Investment, as consideration for the Business Combination, which will be used to pay the Cash Consideration to Seller and make a cash contribution to PCIH, in exchange for equity interests in PCIH, which will be used to pay off existing debt and for general corporate purposes, after payment of transaction expenses.

In connection with the foregoing and substantially concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws entered into a Subscription Agreement with each of the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Jaws has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 80,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $800,000,000. Additionally, the Seller may, in consultation with and subject to the prior consent of Jaws and Cano America, deliver written notice to Jaws at any time prior to the Closing, directing the Company to sell up to 20,000,000 additional shares of Class A common stock pursuant to Subscription Agreements. The shares of Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Jaws will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights and indemnification rights in connection with the PIPE Investment. The PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the Subscription Agreements, the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Investor Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements, the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Transaction Support Agreements and the Sponsor Letter Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus).

Governing Law

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (except that the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) also applies to the Domestication), except that any action, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether at law or in equity, whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) involving any sources of PCIH Refinancing Debt that is in any way related to the Business Combination Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules or conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the applicable laws of another jurisdiction.

Ownership of the Company

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 86,250,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 33,533,333 warrants, comprised of 10,533,333 private placement warrants held by Sponsor and 23,000,000 public warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming that none of Jaws’ outstanding Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination), Jaws’ fully-diluted share capital would be 119,783,333 ordinary shares.

Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof or include all of the additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the Related Agreements. Stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

Effective as of immediately before the Effective Time, the limited liability company agreement of PCIH shall be amended and restated in its entirety to include the terms set forth below (the “Second A&R LLC Agreement”).

As of the Effective Time, PCIH’s outstanding membership interests will consist of PCIH Common Units, of which, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the following sentence, a number of PCIH Common Units will be outstanding that equals the number of Fully Diluted Company Units (as such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement). On the Business Day immediately following the Closing Date: (a) in exchange for the contribution of the Retained Cash Amount pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Business Combination Agreement, PCIH will issue to the Company an aggregate number of PCIH Common Units equal to the Fully Diluted Company Units, minus the Continuing Company Units, minus the Acquired Company Units; and (b) PCIH will issue equity securities of PCIH to the Company such that the capitalization structure of PCIH shall mirror the capitalization structure of the Company. Thereafter, if the Company issues any equity securities of the Company, PCIH shall issue equity securities of PCIH to the Company on substantially the same terms such that the capitalization structure of PCIH shall at all times mirror the capitalization structure of the Company. Each PCIH Common Unit shall have identical economic rights and shall be entitled to share in the profits and

 

179


Table of Contents

losses of PCIH and to receive distributions as and if declared by the Managing Member (as defined below). PCIH Common Units will have no voting rights.

Effective upon completion of the Closing, the Company will be admitted as the sole Managing Member of PCIH (the “Managing Member”). The Managing Member will have the sole authority to manage the business, property and affairs of PCIH in accordance with the Second A&R LLC Agreement and applicable law. The Managing Member cannot be removed or replaced except by the incumbent Managing Member. The Managing Member shall not be entitled to any compensation for services rendered to PCIH in its capacity as Managing Member.

The Managing Member may, subject to (i) any restrictions contained in the financing agreements to which PCIH or any of its subsidiaries is a party, (ii) having available cash (after setting aside appropriate reserves) and (iii) any mutually agreed upon other restrictions set forth therein, make distributions to the members at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no distribution (including tax distributions) or other payment in respect of membership interests shall be required to be made to any member if, and to the extent that, such distribution (including tax distributions) or other payment in respect of membership interests would not be permitted under the Delaware LLC Act or other applicable law. All distributions, including tax distributions, will be made to holders of PCIH Common Units on a pro rata basis. Upon the liquidation or winding up of PCIH, all net proceeds thereof will be distributed to the holders of PCIH Common Units on a pro rata basis.

On or before April 10th of each taxable year, PCIH shall make distributions among the holders of PCIH Common Units on a pro rata basis so that each PCIH Common Unit receives an amount of cash that is no less than the greatest result obtained by dividing each Member’s “Required Tax Distribution” by the number of Units held by such Member. A Member’s Required Tax Distribution is calculated as the net taxable income and gain of the Company allocated to such Member for the period, including any Section 704(c) amounts but ignoring adjustments pursuant to Section 743 of the Code, multiplied by the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate (including, if applicable, under Section 1411 of the Code) applicable to an individual resident in New York, NY (or if the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to a U.S. corporation is higher, such combined corporate income tax rate), in each case taking into account all jurisdictions in which the Company is required to file income tax returns and the relevant apportionment information, in effect for the applicable Taxable Year, taking into account the character of any income, gains, deductions, losses or credits, the deductibility of state income taxes (provided, that, for administrative convenience, it shall be assumed that no portion of any state or local taxes shall be deductible for so long as the limitation set forth in Section 164(b)(6)(B) of the Code as of the date hereof remains applicable) reduced by any prior discretionary distributions or tax distributions with respect to such immediately preceding taxable year, including any distributions made prior to April 10 of the current taxable year. Any tax distributions shall be treated in all respects as offsets against future distributions pursuant to the Second A&R LLC Agreement. PCIH may also make such distributions on an estimated basis five days before each due date for the payment of estimated federal income taxes by an individual, and if such estimated distributions exceed the actual amount of tax distributions required on April 10, such member receiving excess distributions shall promptly repay such excess to PCIH.

The Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion, shall allocate net profits and net losses (and to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits) among the capital accounts of the holders of PCIH Common Unit holders in a manner such that, after such allocations have been made, the balance of each unit holder’s capital account will equal the amount that would have been distributed to such unit holder, determined as if PCIH were to sell all of its assets for their then book values and the net proceeds thereof were distributed.

The Second A&R LLC Agreement will contain restrictions on transfers of membership interests and will require the prior consent of the Managing Member for such transfers, except, in each case, for (i) certain transfers to permitted transferees under certain conditions (including transfers to affiliates and for estate planning

 

180

purposes), (ii) transfers of PCIH Common Units by Seller to its members, whether as a distribution, a liquidating distribution or otherwise, (iii) transfers of PCIH Common Units by Cano America to its members, whether as a distribution, a liquidating distribution or otherwise, and (iv) exchanges of PCIH Common Units for Class A common stock in accordance with the Exchange provisions below.

The Second A&R LLC Agreement will provide for, among other things, the ability for each holder of PCIH Common Units, from time to time after the applicable lock-up period expires (but no more than twice per calendar quarter), to exchange (each, an “Exchange”) all or any portion of its PCIH Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, for a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the number of exchanged PCIH Common Units, subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement regarding such Exchanges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering Class A common stock for any PCIH Common Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per PCIH Common Unit equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock on the date of the receipt of the written notice of the exchange.

The Second A&R LLC Agreement will include reasonable procedures for the implementation of redemptions and Exchanges, including, without limitation, procedures for the giving of notice of an election of exchange. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A common stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of Class A common stock as shall be deliverable upon any such Exchange; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company or PCIH from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange of PCIH Common Units by delivery of Class A common stock which are held in the treasury of the Company or are held by PCIH or any of their subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased Class A common stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of the Company or held by any subsidiary thereof). The Company and PCIH shall covenant that all Class A common stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, have been duly authorized and validly issued and be fully paid and non-assessable.

The Company and PCIH shall covenant and agree that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for Class A common stock to be delivered with respect to any Exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange. If any Exchange in accordance with the Second A&R LLC Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the member requesting such Exchange, the Company and PCIH shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. The Company and PCIH shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list Class A common stock required to be delivered upon Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A common stock may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

PCIH shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon: (a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of PCIH under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act; (b) any event which makes it unlawful for the business of PCIH to be carried on by the members; (c) at any time that there are no members, unless PCIH is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act; or (d) the determination of the Managing Member in its sole discretion; provided that in the event of a dissolution pursuant to this clause (d), the relative economic rights of each class of units immediately prior to such dissolution shall be preserved to the greatest extent practicable with respect to distributions made to members in connection with the winding up of PCIH, taking into consideration tax and other legal constraints that may adversely affect one or more parties hereto and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, unless, and to the extent that, with respect to any class of Units, holders of not less than 90% of the Units of such class consent in writing to a treatment other than as described above; provided, that if the dissolution of PCIH pursuant to and in accordance with clauses (b) or (d) in this provision would have a material adverse effect on any member, the dissolution of PCIH shall require the prior written consent of such member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Table of Contents

PCIH shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Managing Member and/or PCIH (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of PCIH. PCIH shall also bear and/or reimburse the Managing Member for (i) any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with serving as the Managing Member, (ii) operating, administrative and other similar costs, to the extent the proceeds are used or will be used by the Managing Member to pay expenses described in this clause (ii), and payments pursuant to any legal, tax, accounting and other professional fees and expenses (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any tax liabilities of the Managing Member), (iii) any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, the Managing Member, (iv) fees and expenses (other than any underwriters’ discounts and commissions that are economically recovered by the Managing Member as a result of acquiring PCIH Common Units at a discount) related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition transaction (whether or not successful) authorized by the Managing Member, (v) other fees and expenses in connection with the maintenance of the existence of the Managing Member, and (vi) all other expenses allocable to PCIH or otherwise incurred by the Managing Member, in each case incurred by the Managing Member in connection with operating PCIH’s business. For the avoidance of doubt, such distributions or reimbursements may not be used to pay or facilitate dividends or distributions on the securities of the Company and must be used solely for one of the express purposes set forth under clauses (i) through (vi) of the immediately preceding sentence. Also for the avoidance of doubt, PCIH shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of the Company or the Managing Member or any obligations of the Company or the Managing Member under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Managing Member and certain related persons will also be entitled to customary indemnification rights (including advancement of expenses).

No later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Resale Shelf Registration Statement registering all of the registrable securities held by the Investors and the Jaws Directors that are not covered by an effective registration statement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing.

Piggy-back registration rights. At any time after the Closing Date, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act or to conduct a public offering, either for its own account or for the account of any other person, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of registrable securities are entitled to include their registrable securities in such registration statement.

 

   

Expenses and indemnification. All fees, costs and expenses of underwritten registrations will be borne by the Company and underwriting discounts and selling commissions will be borne by the holders of the shares being registered. The Investor Agreement will contain customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Company is obligated to indemnify holders of registrable securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the applicable registration statement attributable to the Company, and holders of registrable securities are obligated to indemnify the Company for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

 

   

Registrable securities. Securities of the Company shall cease to be registrable securities when (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, (ii) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates or book-entry positions for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration under the Securities Act or (iii) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding.

 

   

Lock-up. The Seller, the Investors and the Jaws Directors each agree not to transfer certain securities during the Investor Agreement Lock-Up Period subject to certain customary exceptions. If, following the Closing Date, the last reported sales price of the Class A common stock exceeds $12.00 per share on each of at least 20 trading days within a consecutive 30 trading day period, the foregoing restrictions shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, the Lock-Up Seller Unitholders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), consisting of certain members of management of PCIH and their affiliated entities, will execute and deliver to the Company the Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F, pursuant to which, among other things, the Lock-Up Seller Unitholders will agree not to, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the date that is 48 months from the date of the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Class A common stock or (ii) enter into any swap or hedging or other arrangement which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Class A common stock, or that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Class A common stock, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise. Any waiver by the Company of the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreement requires the approval of a majority of the Company’s directors who qualify as “independent” for purposes of serving on the audit committee under the applicable rules of the SEC (including Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act).

Tax Receivable Agreement

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a party to a Tax Receivable Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of

 

183


Table of Contents

the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur.

Transaction Support Agreements

Promptly after the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Seller Unitholders entered into a Transaction Support Agreement with Jaws, pursuant to which the Seller Unitholders have agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) irrevocably appoint Jaws or any individual designated by Jaws as such Seller Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstitution) to attend on behalf of such Seller Unitholder any meeting of the Seller Unitholders with respect to the Business Combination, and to vote (or cause to be voted) the units of the Seller held by such Seller Unitholder or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, certain other holders of the Class B ordinary shares, Jaws, the Seller and PCIH entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex H to this proxy statement/prospectus. Under the Sponsor Letter Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Jaws and the Sponsor Parties agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Business Combination), (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of Jaws, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in Jaws prior to the Closing Date, or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Sponsor Letter Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/ prospectus forms a part.

Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Jaws Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Jaws’ directors and officers may have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Jaws shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

   

If Jaws does not complete a business combination transaction by May 18, 2022 (unless Jaws submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date), Jaws will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of the Jaws Board and Jaws’ remaining shareholders, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares owned by

 

184


Table of Contents
 

the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors would be worthless because, following the Redemption of the Public Shares, Jaws would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and Jaws’ directors and officers have agreed, in the Sponsor Letter Agreement, to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Class B ordinary shares if Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the required period. The Sponsor purchased the Class B ordinary shares prior to Jaws’ IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.001 per share. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of $         million based upon the closing price of $         per share on NYSE on                     , 2021, the most recent closing price.

 

   

The Sponsor paid $15,800,000 million for its private placement of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares and such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by May 18, 2022.

 

   

Barry Sternlicht, Chairman of Jaws, is expected to be a director of the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination. As such, in the future, he may receive cash fees, stock options, stock awards or other remuneration that the Company Board determines to pay to its directors.

 

   

Jaws’ existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under Jaws’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

 

   

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Jaws if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Jaws, or a prospective target business with which Jaws has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below (i) $         per public share (or such higher amount then held in trust) or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Jaws’ indemnity of the underwriters of Jaws’ IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

   

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Jaws’ officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Jaws from time to time, made by the Sponsor or certain of Jaws’ officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. If Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Jaws’ officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement.

 

   

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the directors on the Company Board immediately following the Closing Date will be Barry Sternlicht, Elliot Cooperstone, Dr. Marlow Hernandez and the six individuals to be identified by Dr. Hernandez, subject to the reasonable approval of Jaws, Cano America, LLC and ITC Rumba LLC.

 

   

Pursuant to the Investor Agreement, the Sponsor and certain of Jaws’ directors and officers will have customary indemnification and registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of Class A common stock and warrants of the Company held by such parties.

 

   

Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, to the extent payments are made to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Sponsor, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85.

Jaws’ directors and executive officers have agreed to vote all of their ordinary shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Shareholders Meeting and waive their Redemption Rights with respect to such ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Class B ordinary shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws’ directors and executive officers own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, the Sponsor Parties or their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of such Public Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption Rights. In the event that the Sponsor Parties or their respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (1) holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal, (3) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem and (4) Jaws’ net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a5 1-1(g)( 1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Shareholders Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be submitted at the Shareholders Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Jaws’ directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he/she or they may believe is in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and what he/she or they may believe is best for himself/ herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Jaws’ officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Exchange Listing

Jaws’ units (each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant), Class A ordinary shares and warrants (each to purchase one Class A ordinary share) are currently traded on

NYSE under the symbols “JWS.U,” “JWS” and “JWS WS.” At the closing of the Business Combination, Jaws’ units will separate into their component shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants so that the units will no longer trade separately under “JWS.U.” Jaws has applied for the continued listing of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants on NYSE under the ticker symbols “CANO” and “CANO WS,” respectively.

Background of the Business Combination

Jaws is a blank check company incorporated on December 27, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses with the intention of focusing its search for a target business in a variety of industries other than real estate, lodging, oil and gas and energy infrastructure. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of extensive arms-length negotiations between Jaws and the Seller and their respective representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among the parties to the Business Combination Agreement or their representatives.

On May 18, 2020, Jaws consummated its IPO of 69,000,000 Units, including 9,000,000 Units as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Units, Jaws consummated a private placement of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, issued to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15,800,000.

$690,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the private placement with the Sponsor was deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of Jaws’ Public Shareholders.

Prior to the consummation of its IPO, neither Jaws, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a potential business combination with Jaws.

After the IPO, Jaws engaged in preliminary conversations regarding a potential business combination with approximately 80 potential targets and/or their advisors. Of those potential targets, Jaws entered into confidentiality agreements with 35 companies and conducted due diligence and/or engaged in more detailed discussions with approximately 25 companies.

On September 7, 2020 and September 8, 2020, representatives of Credit Suisse, which PCIH had engaged to evaluate strategic alternatives, contacted Joseph Dowling, the Chief Executive Officer of Jaws, about exploring a potential business combination between Jaws and PCIH and to provide background and information about PCIH and its industry. On September 8, 2020, representatives of PCIH also contacted Mr. Dowling about exploring a potential business combination and to provide additional background information about PCIH.

On September 10, 2020, Jaws and PCIH executed a confidentiality agreement and subsequently PCIH provided representatives of Jaws with access to a data room and began to share confidential information regarding its business with Jaws.

On September 16, 2020, the management teams of PCIH and Jaws met via videoconference, during which PCIH shared presentation materials with Jaws with detailed company information on PCIH that included

 

187


Table of Contents

financial information and metrics about PCIH and an overview of PCIH’s business and the markets in which it operates. Between September 16, 2020 and September 25, 2020, Mr. Dowling engaged in discussions with representatives of PCIH regarding a potential business combination. During this time, Jaws conducted further financial and business due diligence on PCIH.

On September 25, 2020, Jaws sent PCIH a draft letter of intent regarding a potential business combination between Jaws and PCIH, which reflected an implied pre-transaction enterprise valuation range of $3.5 to $4.5 billion with a concurrent PIPE investment of at least $1.0 billion. The September 25 proposal also stated that Jaws was willing to work with PCIH to determine an appropriate allocation between secondary and primary proceeds and to refine the expected capital structure and use of proceeds.

On September 26, 2020, following discussions between representatives of Jaws and PCIH, Jaws sent a revised letter of intent to PCIH to reflect a pre-transaction enterprise valuation of $5.0 billion. The September 26 proposal was otherwise on the same terms as the September 25 proposal.

Following the submission of the September 25 and September 26 proposals, Barry Sternlicht, the Chairman of Jaws, and Mr. Dowling updated the members of the Jaws Board on the discussions with PCIH regarding a potential business combination, including the status of Jaws’ due diligence and the terms of the potential transaction.

On October 2, 2020, Mr. Sternlicht contacted Dr. Marlow Hernandez, the Chief Executive Officer of PCIH, via email to arrange a discussion regarding the potential transaction. On October 3, 2020, Mr. Sternlicht and Dr. Hernandez held an introductory phone call. Mr. Sternlicht communicated further with Dr. Hernandez regarding a preliminary framework for a transaction by email beginning on October 4, 2020, and the parties agreed to schedule an in-person meeting for October 16, 2020. Following these communications, Jaws began to conduct further due diligence on PCIH, the senior health care services industry, and comparable companies in the same sector as PCIH.

On October 7, 2020, following further discussions and negotiations between the parties, Jaws sent a revised letter of intent to PCIH. Jaws’ October 7 proposal contemplated a transaction whereby the Seller would receive a combination of cash and stock consideration based on an implied pre-transaction enterprise value of $5.0 billion, to be funded with cash in Jaws’ trust account plus an additional $1.3 billion of proceeds from a concurrent PIPE financing. At closing, approximately $1 billion would be held on PCIH’s balance sheet for debt paydown or general corporate purposes, after payment of transaction fees, with any remaining amounts to be used to effect a secondary purchase from continuing shareholders. The proposal also contained provisions regarding governance, lock-up periods and exclusivity, among other terms.

On October 12, 2020, PCIH’s legal advisor, Goodwin Procter LLP (“Goodwin”), delivered a revised draft of the letter of intent reflecting proposed revisions to the transaction structure and valuation. While accepting Jaws’ proposed $5.0 billion pre-transaction enterprise valuation of PCIH, PCIH’s revised proposal provided that the aggregate amount of cash available to the post-closing combined company from Jaws’ trust account and the PIPE financing, after satisfying any Jaws shareholder redemptions, would be used as follows: first, $400 million for debt paydown; second, $300 million to be held on the balance sheet for general corporate purposes, after payment of transaction fees; third, half of the next $470 million to be held on the balance sheet for general corporate purposes and half of such $470 million to be distributed to PCIH equityholders at closing; fourth, the remaining cash proceeds to be distributed to PCIH equityholders at closing. Based on this proposed use of capital, the implied post-transaction enterprise value (including net debt) was $5.4 billion. The proposal contemplated an “Up-C” transaction structure and an associated tax receivable agreement. Additionally, the revised proposal indicated that the combined public company would assume any transaction expenses incurred by PCIH, the Seller, and Jaws, and proposed a mutual exclusivity provision restricting both PCIH and Jaws from pursuing certain competing transactions during the exclusivity period. The parties agreed to continue discussions around valuation, structure and use of capital over the coming weeks.

Between October 12, 2020 and October 18, 2020, the parties further negotiated the letter of intent, and Goodwin and Jaws’ legal advisor, Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”), exchanged drafts reflecting the progressing discussions of the parties, including with respect to exclusivity, governance rights, transaction structure and Up-C mechanics for exchanging rollover LLC units for public company stock, and related matters. The parties also continued due diligence activities and ongoing discussions regarding future value creation as well as began preparation of certain investor materials.

On October 16, 2020, Mr. Dowling and Mr. Sternlicht met with Dr. Hernandez at Cano Health’s Pembroke Pines University location, and later in the day at Cano Health’s corporate headquarters, to further discuss a potential transaction. During the meeting, Messrs. Dowling and Sternlicht confirmed Jaws’ interest in exploring a potential business combination with PCIH and the parties further discussed the proposed terms of the transaction and a preliminary framework for post-closing governance.

While meetings regarding a business combination with PCIH were ongoing and prior to the execution of the Letter of Intent (as defined below), Jaws continued discussions and due diligence on approximately five other potential business combinations.

On October 18, 2020, the parties executed the letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”), which included the financial terms of the transaction, pro forma ownership of PCIH and an agreement to consummate the transaction using an Up-C structure. The Letter of Intent further provided that, following the closing of the transaction, the Seller would own approximately 61% of the Company’s Class A common stock, PIPE investors would own approximately 23% of the Company’s Class A common stock, the Sponsor would own approximately 3% of the Company’s Class A common stock, and other continuing Jaws shareholders would own approximately 12% of the Company’s Class A common stock, in each case on a fully-diluted basis assuming exchange of all PCIH Common Units held by the Seller. The Letter of Intent also set out the parties’ agreed framework with respect to post-closing governance of the combined public company.

In connection with the entry into the Letter of Intent, the Seller and PCIH agreed not to continue or engage in any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreements, with respect to a competing transaction (including other M&A transactions), subject to certain exceptions, including for preexisting competing buyers, until October 30, 2020. Jaws also agreed in the Letter of Intent, until October 30, 2020, not to engage in any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreements, with respect to a competing transaction (including other M&A transactions), subject to certain exceptions, including for preexisting potential partners.

Following the execution of the Letter of Intent, Jaws and its advisors continued their due diligence review of PCIH, including business, legal, accounting, tax, IT systems and health care regulatory due diligence, as well as due diligence calls with PCIH management.

On October 19, 2020, Jaws engaged Credit Suisse to act as placement agent for the PIPE investment (in such capacity, the “PIPE Placement Agent”) based on Credit Suisse’s knowledge and experience with similar PIPE investments. The PIPE Placement Agent subsequently initiated conversations with prospective investors as part of the PIPE investment process.

On October 30, 2020, the parties extended the exclusivity period in the Letter of Intent to November 13, 2020.

On November 1, 2020, K&E delivered an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Goodwin.

Between November 1, 2020 and November 11, 2020, Jaws and the Seller exchanged drafts of the Business Combination Agreement and drafts and/or summaries of the ancillary documents, including a Term Sheet for the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PCIH, the Investor Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and a Term Sheet for the Tax Receivable

Agreement. The various drafts exchanged reflected the parties’ negotiations on, among other things, the consideration structure, interim operating covenants, allocation of tax risk and responsibility, treatment of tax benefits, post-closing governance matters, scope of registration rights and other matters.

At the beginning of November 2020, K&E, Goodwin and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”), counsel to the PIPE Placement Agent, exchanged drafts of the form of subscription agreement to be used in the PIPE investment, including the terms of the closing process, the conditions to closing, the representations and warranties of Jaws and the subscriber, the registration rights to be granted to the subscriber and provisions related to the termination of the subscription agreements.

On November 3, 2020, after continued due diligence and financial analysis of PCIH and feedback from the PIPE Placement Agent on market conditions, Mr. Dowling called representatives of PCIH to communicate that Jaws had determined to decrease the pre-transaction enterprise valuation of PCIH from $5.0 billion to $4.0 billion and the post-transaction enterprise valuation (including net debt) of PCIH from $5.4 billion to $4.4 billion, and to reduce the expected size of the PIPE investment from $1.3 billion to $800 million to reflect this decrease in the valuation of PCIH. PCIH accepted these terms the following day, November 4, 2020.

On November 4, 2020, the PIPE Placement Agent distributed draft documentation to prospective investors with respect to an $800 million PIPE investment and between November 5, 2020 and November 11, 2020, K&E and Goodwin negotiated the terms of the Subscription Agreements with the prospective investors, and responded to follow up questions and comments related thereto, particularly with respect to the closing.

On November 10, 2020, a revised version of the Subscription Agreement was distributed to the PIPE investors, which reflected the outcome of negotiations between the parties and the prospective investors.

On November 11, 2020, the Jaws Board met, together with representatives of K&E and Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP (“Maples”), Jaws’ Cayman counsel, to review the terms of the proposed Business Combination with PCIH and the proposed final definitive documentation. The Jaws Board also reviewed proposed resolutions which would be adopted by the Jaws Board in order to approve the entry into the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions. During the meeting, Jaws’ management provided the Jaws Board with a comprehensive overview of PCIH’s business, strategy, and future operating plans and prospects, the results and findings of Jaws’ due diligence process, financial analyses and comparable transactions, the local markets in which PCIH operates and the health care industry generally. The Jaws Board unanimously determined that it was in the best interests of Jaws to proceed with executing a transaction on the terms discussed and based on the documents reviewed, and authorized PCIH’s officers to finalize the transaction.

On November 11, 2020, the parties executed the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE investors that had chosen to participate in the PIPE investment indicated their final subscription amounts and executed subscription agreements with respect to the PIPE investment, which provided for binding subscriptions to purchase an aggregate of 80,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at $10.00 per share.

On November 12, 2020, a press release was issued announcing the Business Combination. Shortly thereafter, Jaws filed a current report on Form 8-K attaching the press release, the investor presentation previously provided to the PIPE investors and current Jaws shareholders, and the Business Combination Agreement.

Jaws Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

In evaluating the transaction with PCIH, the Jaws Board consulted with Jaws’ management and its legal counsel as well as other advisors. The Jaws Board considered and evaluated several factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Jaws Board did not consider it practicable to,

 

190


Table of Contents

and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Jaws Board viewed its decision as being based on all the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Before reaching its decision, the Jaws Board discussed the material results of its management’s due diligence activities, which included:

 

   

extensive meetings and calls with PCIH’s management team regarding PCIH’s operations and projections, including interviews of top executives;

 

   

research on the healthcare industry, including historical and projected growth trends and calls with industry experts;

 

   

financial and valuation analyses prepared by Jaws’ management, including a valuation comparison of recent de-SPAC M&A transactions involving companies in the healthcare industry, which Jaws’ management believed had operational, business and/or financial characteristics that, for purposes of its analyses, were similar to PCIH, based on its professional judgment and expertise;

 

   

the financial projections provided by PCIH discussed below;

 

   

research on the public trading values of comparable peer companies as well as private transaction precedents;

 

   

multiple site visits and tours of various PCIH facilities;

 

   

engagement of KPMG for financial, accounting, tax, IT and public-market readiness due diligence;

 

   

engagement of Kirkland & Ellis for legal due diligence; and

 

   

engagement of Epstein Becker Green for healthcare-specific and coding due diligence.

The Jaws Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to, the following material factors and viewpoints:

 

   

PCIH’s mission. PCIH strives to deliver best-in-class care to underserved seniors. Over 90% of the clinicians at PCIH-owned medical centers speak Spanish, allowing them to serve their members effectively. Members of PCIH have generally demonstrated lower mortality rates, fewer hospital admissions and fewer ER visits compared to industry standards.

 

   

Management. PCIH was founded by Dr. Marlow Hernandez, who is still CEO today. He was able to grow PCIH to what it is today with limited outside capital given PCIH’s strong cash flow profile of the business. The Jaws Board believes that he has assembled a strong leadership team to lead PCIH toward future growth and expansion.

 

   

Attractive valuation. The Jaws Board reviewed the market capitalization, implied enterprise value and revenue and EBITDA multiples and other metrics of certain companies, including Oak Street Health (OSH) and One Medical (ONEM), which Jaws’ management believed had operational, business and/or financial characteristics that, for purposes of its analyses, were similar to PCIH, based on its professional judgment and expertise, and compared the same to the implied enterprise value and other metrics of PCIH determined in accordance with the internal valuation analysis of Jaws’ management.

 

      

The Jaws Board considered OSH and ONEM to be PCIH’s core comparable companies for a number of reasons. Jaws’ management noted that each company is an early stage membership-based primary care business with a similar clinic-based operating model and that each company operates in a similar number of markets. Furthermore, Jaws’ management noted its belief that OSH is the most comparable company to PCIH as it serves the Medicare market.

The Jaws Board reviewed PCIH against these two peer companies using a number of metrics, including enterprise value, payment and operating models, growth strategy, number of markets, number of owned medical centers, number of members, estimated 2021 gross revenue, 2017-2020E revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR), Medicare Advantage clinic medical loss ratio, total medical loss ratio, and estimated 2021 EBITDA.

 

      

Initially, Jaws’ management proposed a $5.0 billion pre-transaction enterprise value for PCIH based on its financial analyses. Following continued due diligence and financial analysis of PCIH as described above and feedback from the Placement Agent on then-current market conditions, Jaws’ management determined to decrease its proposed pre-transaction enterprise valuation of PCIH to $4.0 billion. Based on this revised pre-transaction valuation, Jaws’ management estimated that PCIH’s implied post-transaction enterprise value of $4.4 billion equaled 3.1x estimated 2021 revenue. In comparison, OSH’s enterprise value to estimated 2021 revenue multiple was 4.0x at the time of its IPO, and OSH’s and ONEM’s current enterprise value to estimated 2021 revenue multiples were 9.6x and 8.6x, respectively. Jaws’ management also noted its belief that while revenue growth expectations for PCIH and OSH are similar, PCIH currently has positive EBITDA, while OSH and other high growth peer companies do not. Based on the foregoing, the Jaws Board believed that the valuation of PCIH was attractive relative to its primary care provider peers.

 

   

Strong financial performance. The Jaws Board considered PCIH’s strong financial position, including historical financial results, outlook and financial plan, as well as valuations of future growth initiatives and acquisitions.

 

   

Strong relationships with healthcare insurers. PCIH has developed long standing relationships with some of the nation’s largest health insurance providers, particularly Humana Inc.

 

   

Multi-pronged growth strategy. The Jaws Board noted PCIH’s growth strategy through developing new markets, cultivating organic membership growth and acquisitions of existing clinics. Since 2017, PCIH has grown from operating in two markets to opening or acquiring clinics in 14 markets with plans for more expansion. Its membership has also grown organically approximately 40% per year between 2017 and 2020.

 

   

Customized and efficient patient care. PCIH provides customized patient care for its members while also creating cost efficiencies by focusing on individual needs. Its platform caters toward Medicare-eligible seniors and patient satisfaction surveys indicate significantly higher ratings compared to industry norms for primary care physician practice groups. This segment of the population requires consistent medical needs but also provides opportunities for systemic cost savings.

 

   

Proprietary technology-powered platform. PCIH created a proprietary population health management platform called CanoPanorama that supports clinical personnel and patient care decisions while driving efficiencies. This technology-powered platform has lowered operating costs while allowing for better-tailored patient care and scalable membership growth.

 

   

Strong sector tailwinds. The Medicare market is currently sized at $800 billion and expected to grow by 8% annually. In particular, the value-based Medicare Advantage market, PCIH’s primary focus, is projected to experience greater than 30% annual growth. Additionally, approximately 10,000 people age into the Medicare market every day, which translates to approximately $1 billion of market growth per week.

 

   

Terms of transaction. The Jaws Board reviewed and considered the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements, including the parties’ conditions to their respective obligations to complete the transactions contemplated therein and their ability to terminate the agreement. See “—The Business Combination Agreement” and “—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of these agreements.

Results of due diligence process. The Jaws Board considered the scope of the due diligence investigation conducted by Jaws’ management and outside advisors and evaluated the results thereof and information available to it related to PCIH, including:

 

   

multiple meetings and calls with the PCIH management team regarding its operations, financial metrics, historical performance and financial projections and the proposed transaction;

 

   

review of materials related to PCIH made available by PCIH, including strategic plans, key metrics and performance indicators, benefit plans, insurance policies, litigation information, financial statements, compliance plans, risk mitigation materials and other financial and legal diligence;

 

   

review of the due diligence reports of all third-party advisors, including KPMG, Kirkland & Ellis and Epstein Becker Green;

 

   

interviews with PCIH’s management as well as interviews of industry experts;

 

   

analysis of industry competitors and publicly traded comparable companies; and

 

   

research regarding the Medicare and Medicare Advantage markets.

The Jaws Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

Future financial performance. The risk that future financial performance of PCIH may not meet the Jaws Board’s expectations due to factors in the Company’s control or out of its control, including due to economic cycles or other macroeconomic factors.

 

   

COVID-19. Uncertainties regarding the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions on PCIH’s operations and demand for its services.

 

   

Competition for acquisitions. Healthcare companies that compete with PCIH may pursue acquisitions that PCIH may otherwise have an interest in pursuing. Potential competitors also include hospital systems buying primary care practices in attempts to control specialty referrals, as well as private equity firms, which actively compete with PCIH to acquire primary care practices.

 

   

Regulatory risk. PCIH must continue to maintain high quality care (as measured by HEDIS, Net Promoter and other scores) and properly document and code its diagnoses of member conditions. Proper coding drives risk adjustment scores that impact Medicare “per member, per month” reimbursement.

 

   

Potential benefits may not be achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination, including PCIH’s future value-creation strategies and identified cost savings or revenue opportunities, may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

 

   

Liquidation of the Company. The risks and costs to Jaws’ business if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in our inability to effect a business combination by May 18, 2022 and force Jaws to liquidate and the warrants to expire worthless.

 

   

Exclusivity. The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits Jaws from soliciting other business combination proposals.

 

   

Shareholder vote. The risk that Jaws’ shareholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

 

   

Closing conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Jaws’ control.

 

193


Table of Contents
   

Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

 

   

Fees and expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

 

   

Other risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of Jaws, and the business of PCIH described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Jaws Board also considered that:

 

   

Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of Jaws may have interests in the Business Combination that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of the Company’s stockholders (see — “Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination”). Jaws’ independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Jaws Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

The Jaws Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expects the Company and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweigh the risks associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Jaws Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Jaws and its shareholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Organizational Documents that any business acquired by Jaws have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of PCIH generally used to approve the transaction, the Jaws Board determined that this requirement was met. The Jaws Board determined that the consideration being paid in the Business Combination, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and appropriately reflected PCIH’s value. In reaching this determination, the Jaws Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors such as PCIH’s historical growth rate and its potential for future growth in revenue and profits. The Jaws Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of PCIH met this requirement and make the other determinations regarding the transaction.

Certain Company Projected Financial Information

PCIH’s management prepared certain non-public internal financial projections (the “PCIH unaudited prospective financial information”) regarding PCIH’s anticipated future operations based on assumptions that PCIH’s management believed to be reasonable at the time for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023. The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information is based solely upon information that was available to PCIH’s management at the time of its preparation. The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information is based on estimates and assumptions made by PCIH’s management prior to and around October 2020 and speaks only as of that time. Since such date, PCIH has not updated the unaudited prospective financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus and does not intend to do so. The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information is not included in this proxy statement/prospectus to induce any Jaws’ stockholder to vote in favor of the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement or any other proposals to be voted on at the Shareholders Meeting, but because such information was made available to Jaws and the Jaws Board.

Table of Contents

The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information was prepared primarily for internal use, and capital budgeting and other management purposes, and is subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and was not intended for third-party use, including by investors or stockholders. The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information assumes that PCIH would continue to operate as a standalone company do not reflect any impact of the Business Combination. You are cautioned not to rely on the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information in making a decision regarding the transaction, as such information may be materially different than actual results.

The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information reflects numerous assumptions including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond PCIH’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information contains forward-looking statements that are based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond PCIH’s control. Because the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. The inclusion of the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that PCIH, any of its representatives or any other person considered, or currently considers, this information necessarily predictive of actual future results or events, and it should not be relied upon as such. There can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. In addition, PCIH does not endorse the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information as a reliable indication of future results.

The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information was requested by, and disclosed to, Jaws for use as a component of its overall evaluation of PCIH and is included in this proxy statement/prospectus because it was provided to the Jaws Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination. PCIH has not warranted as to the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information to anyone, including us. Neither PCIH’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of PCIH compared to the information contained in the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying such projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. The Company will not refer back to this information in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The PCIH unaudited prospective financial information was prepared by, and is the responsibility of, PCIH’s management. Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), PCIH’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or otherwise applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information presented herein and, accordingly, expresses no opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to such information. The EY report included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to historical financial information of PCIH. It does not extend to the PCIH unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

Does not include adjustments to exclude the effect of de novo losses within one year of opening and internal corporate development expenses, which are reflected in the historical Adjusted EBITDA measures presented elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health—Non-GAAP Financial Metrics” for additional details.

PCIH’s prospective financial information was prepared using a number of assumptions, including the following assumptions that PCIH believed to be material:

 

   

PCIH presented its growth strategy as multi-pronged and flexible, with the mix of growth from de novos and acquisitions driven by market opportunities available at any given time.

 

   

Projected gross revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions including, expected double digit organic growth of PCIH’s existing business through expansion of existing medical center membership, de novo openings, the selective conversion of our best-performing affiliates into PCIH owned medical centers, and the purchase of locally adjacent practices; anticipated large acquisitions to accelerate entry into new markets or to build density in existing markets; expected reimbursement rates; payer mix and access to additional capital to execute on the growth strategy.

   

Projected third party medical expenses are driven by assumptions about membership growth and mix; healthcare utilization trends; and expected costs of inpatient and hospital care, specialists, and pharmaceuticals.

   

Projected other expenses are driven by assumptions about direct patient expenses incurred at our medical centers and affiliates and selling, general and administrative expenses.

In making the assumptions above, PCIH’s management relied on a number of factors, including:

 

   

Its ten years of experience providing primary care to seniors and others in its markets.

   

Its best estimates of growth in existing centers, the timing of de novo openings and the timing and size of acquisitions.

   

Third party forecasts for growth of the Medicare value-based care market.

While presented with numerical specificity, the projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to the businesses of the Company’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

The reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures such as the effects of stock-based compensation expense, de novo losses, acquisition transaction costs, restructuring and other charges, impairment of intangibles and corporate development costs.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders.

The following discussion (this “tax disclosure”) sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication to the U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants. The following discussion also summarizes (i) the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Jaws Shares that elect to have their Jaws Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed and (ii) the material U.S. federal income tax consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of owning and disposing of the Company’s common stock or warrants after the Domestication. The information set forth in this section is based on the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein.

For purposes of this discussion, because any unit of Jaws consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of a Public Warrant is separable at the option of the holder, Jaws is treating any Class A ordinary share and one-third of a Public Warrant held by a U.S. Holder in the form of a single unit as separate instruments and is assuming that the unit itself will not be treated as an integrated instrument. Accordingly, the separation of a unit of Jaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (including any Redemption) with respect to any Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants held through a unit of Jaws (including alternative characterizations of a unit of Jaws).

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

This discussion is general in nature and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances or status. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that hold Jaws Shares or Public Warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including:

 

   

financial institutions or financial services entities;

 

   

broker-dealers;

 

   

persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

 

   

tax-exempt entities;

 

197

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

   

insurance companies;

 

   

regulated investment companies;

 

   

real estate investment trusts;

 

   

certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

 

   

persons that acquired Jaws Shares pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

 

   

persons that hold Jaws Shares or Public Warrants as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, redemption or other integrated transaction;

 

   

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

controlled foreign corporations;

 

   

passive foreign investment companies;

 

   

persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Jaws Shares or Public Warrants as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

 

   

persons who actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of the shares of Jaws by vote or value (except as specifically provided below);

 

   

foreign corporations with respect to which there are one or more United States shareholders within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(1)(ii); or

 

   

the Sponsor or its affiliates.

This discussion does not address any tax laws other than the U.S. federal income tax law, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants. Additionally, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold Jaws Shares or Public Warrants through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and such partnership. Holders of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to such holders. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Jaws Shares or Public Warrants and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants will be in U.S. dollars. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

THIS SUMMARY IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER. THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF JAWS SHARES AND PUBLIC WARRANTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. WE URGE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF JAWS SHARES AND PUBLIC WARRANTS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX

ADVISORS REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION, EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS AS A RESULT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares

The discussion under this heading “—Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws

Shares” constitutes the opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, United States tax counsel to Jaws, insofar as it

discusses the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares and

Public Warrants as a result of the Domestication, based on, and subject to, customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations, and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations herein and in the opinion

included as Exhibit 8.1 hereto, as well as representations of Jaws.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” (an “F Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Domestication, we will change our jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and transferring by way of continuation and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Domestication generally should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) (1)(F) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as Jaws, this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, except as otherwise provided in this tax disclosure, including with respect to the PFIC rules and Section 367 of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares would not generally be expected to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Jaws Shares solely for Company Shares or exchange of its Public Warrants solely for Company warrants pursuant to the Domestication. The Domestication would generally be expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if Jaws (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Company in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of the Company; and then (ii) distributed the common stock and warrants of the Company to the shareholders and warrant holders of Jaws in liquidation of Jaws. The taxable year of Jaws should end on the date of the Domestication.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below: (i) a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a share of common stock or a warrant of the Company received in connection with the Domestication should generally be the same as its tax basis in the Jaws Share and Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under Section 367(b) of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a Company share or warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication should generally include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Share or Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Jaws Shares in an amount equal to the

 

199


Table of Contents

difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding Company Shares received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares surrendered. The U.S. Holder’s basis in the Company Shares would be equal to the fair market value of that stock on the date of the Domestication and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Company Shares would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares (generally, shares of Jaws purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Jaws Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising Redemption Rights with respect to their Jaws Shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of Redemption Rights.

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Public Warrants

Subject to the considerations described below relating to a U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants being taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code, and the considerations described below relating to the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder of Public Warrants should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of warrants for newly issued Company warrants in the Domestication. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a Public Warrant received in the Domestication should generally be the same as its tax basis in the Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefore, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under Section 367(b) of the Code (as discussed below). A U.S. Holder’s holding period for a Public Warrant received in the Domestication should generally include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

PFIC Considerations

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, the Domestication may still be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants under the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, as described below. Because Jaws is a blank check company with no current active operating business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, Jaws believes that it likely was a PFIC for its most recent taxable year ended on December 31, 2020, and will likely be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year which ends as a result of the Domestication.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Code, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, those regulations would generally require taxable gain recognition by a Non-Electing Shareholder, as described below, with respect to its exchange of Jaws Shares for Company Shares and Public Warrants for Company warrants in the Domestication if Jaws were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period therefor. Any such gain would generally be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed below under the section entitled “—Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC.” The proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code should not apply to an Electing Shareholder with respect to its Jaws Shares for which a timely QEF election, QEF election with a purging

election, or MTM election is made, as each such election is described below. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted.

Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC

A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

Pursuant to a “start-up exception,” a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. Jaws will not be eligible for the “start-up exception.” Therefore, Jaws has likely been a PFIC since its inception.

If Jaws is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants and, solely with respect to the Jaws Shares, the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely “qualified election fund” (QEF) election for Jaws’ first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Jaws Shares, (b) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or (c) a “mark-to-market” (MTM) election, all of which are discussed further below, such U.S. Holder is expected to be subject to special rules with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Jaws Shares and any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder. Excess distributions are generally any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Jaws Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares.

Under these rules, the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution is expected to be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares or Public Warrants. The amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Jaws’ first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, is expected to be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period is expected to be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder. The interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax is expected to be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder. Any “all earnings and profits amount” included in income by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication (discussed under the section entitled “— Effects of Section 367(b) to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares”) generally is expected to be treated as gain subject to these rules.

In general, if Jaws is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the tax consequences described above with respect to its Jaws Shares (but not Public Warrants) by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), or an MTM election, all as described below.

Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Jaws as a qualified electing fund, or QEF, under Section 1295 of the

 

201


Table of Contents

Code, for Jaws’ first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Jaws Shares, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or if the U.S. Holder made an MTM election, all as discussed below. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made either a timely and effective QEF election, a QEF election along with a purging election, or an MTM election is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.” A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that is not an Electing Shareholder is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.”

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a “PFIC Annual Information Statement,” to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF election with respect to its Jaws Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Jaws of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. Upon written request, Jaws will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that Jaws will timely provide such information that is required to make and maintain the QEF election. A U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF election with respect to Public Warrants. An Electing Shareholder making a valid and timely QEF election generally is not expected to be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their Jaws Shares. As a result, such a U.S. Holder generally is not expected to recognize gain or loss as a result of the Domestication except to the extent described under the section entitled “— Effects of Section 367(b) to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares” and subject to the discussion above under the section entitled “— Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares,” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of Jaws, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to Jaws’ first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Jaws Shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Jaws Shares for their fair market value on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of Jaws’ tax year in which Jaws qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Jaws Shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder is expected to increase the adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and also is expected to have a new holding period in the Jaws Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make an MTM election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid MTM election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Jaws Shares and for which Jaws is determined to be a PFIC, such holder is not expected to be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Jaws Shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder is expected to include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Jaws Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Jaws Shares. The U.S. Holder is also expected to be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Jaws Shares over the fair market value of its Jaws Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of

previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its Jaws Shares is expected to be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Jaws Shares will be treated as ordinary income. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares (generally, shares of Jaws purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them. The MTM election is available only for shares that are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including NYSE, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. No assurance can be given that the Jaws Shares are considered to be regularly traded for purposes of the MTM election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders are generally not expected to be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed herein. However, if the MTM election is made by a Non-Electing Shareholder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules are expected to apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Jaws Shares. An MTM election is not available with respect to Public Warrants. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the availability and tax consequences of an MTM election in respect to Jaws Shares under their particular circumstances.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the timely QEF election, the QEF election with a purging election, and the MTM election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares

In addition to the PFIC rules discussed above, Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares on the date of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Jaws Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

 

A.

U.S. Holders Who Own More Than 10 Percent of the Voting Power or Value of Jaws

A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to the Jaws Shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Jaws Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Jaws attributable to its shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 provide that the all earnings and profits amount attributable to a

 

203


Table of Contents

shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If Jaws does not have positive cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, then a 10% U.S. Shareholder is not expected to be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Jaws Shares. However, the determination of earnings and profits is a complex determination and may be impacted by numerous factors. It is possible that the amount of Jaws’ cumulative net earnings and profits could be positive through the date of the Domestication in which case a 10% U.S. Shareholder would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2 as a result of the Domestication. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. Such U.S. Holders that are corporate shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of the Section 245 of the Code in their particular circumstances.

 

B.

U.S. Holders Whose Jaws Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More But Who Own Less Than 10 Percent of the Voting Power of Jaws and Less than 10 Percent of the Total Value of Jaws

A U.S. Holder whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of Domestication but who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below.

Unless such a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Company Shares received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Company Shares received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Jaws Shares deemed surrendered in the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares (generally, shares of Jaws purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

As an alternative to recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, such a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Jaws Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, a number of specific conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

 

  (i)

a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange;

 

  (ii)

a complete description of the Domestication;

 

  (iii)

a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

 

  (iv)

a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

  (v)

a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election and that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Jaws establishing and substantiating the “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Jaws Shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Jaws (or the Company) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

 

204


Table of Contents
  (vi)

certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Domestication occurs, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to Jaws or the Company no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Jaws may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Jaws’ earnings and profits upon written request.

Jaws does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication. If that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election are generally not expected to have an income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that Jaws has positive cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Jaws Shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(3) as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING AN ELECTION AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO AN ELECTION.

 

C.

U.S. Holders Whose Jaws Shares Have a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000 and Who Own Less Than 10 Percent of the Voting Power of Jaws and Less than 10 Percent of the Total Value of Jaws.

A U.S. Holder whose Jaws Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Jaws Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Jaws Shares, is not expected to be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication and generally is not expected to be required to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Public Warrants

Subject to the considerations described above relating to a U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants being taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code, and the considerations described above relating to the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder of Public Warrants is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of warrants for newly issued Company warrants in the Domestication.

All U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the effect of Section 367 of the Code to their particular circumstances.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights

This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares (which will be exchanged for Company shares in the Domestication) that elect to exercise Redemption Rights to receive cash in exchange for Jaws Shares and is subject in its entirety to the discussion of the Domestication, the “passive foreign investment company” or “PFIC” rules and Section 367 of the Code as discussed above under the section entitled “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares — U.S. Holders.” For purposes of this discussion, a “Converting U.S. Holder” is a U.S. Holder that elects to exercise Redemption Rights in respect of all or a portion of its Jaws Shares.

 

205


Table of Contents

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Jaws Shares (which will be exchanged for Company shares in the Domestication) that exercises Redemption Rights to receive cash in exchange for all or a portion of its Jaws Shares will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of Company shares redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder’s Company shares redeemed, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Company shares redeemed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares will generally be equal to the cost of such Jaws Shares. This gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such Jaws Shares is more than one year at the time of the redemption. However, it is possible that because of the Redemption Rights associated with the Jaws Shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and thus it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares (generally, shares of Jaws purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

The redemption of Company shares generally will qualify as a sale of the Company shares redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate,” (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest in the Company, or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. For purposes of such tests with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder, that Converting U.S. Holder may be deemed to own not only shares actually owned, but also constructively owned, which in some cases may include shares such holder may acquire pursuant to options (generally including Company warrants received in respect of Public Warrants in the Domestication) and shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Converting U.S. Holder is a beneficiary and certain corporations and partnerships.

Generally, the redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder if (i) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes that carry voting rights) of the Company is reduced immediately after the redemption to less than 80% of the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage interest (including constructive ownership) in such shares immediately before the redemption; (ii) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding Company shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the Converting U.S. Holder owns (including constructive ownership), immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company entitled to vote. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Company shares actually and constructively owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Company shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of the Company shares owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other Company shares and otherwise complies with specific conditions. Whether the redemption will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a Converting U.S. Shareholder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that U.S. Holder. However, the redemption generally must result in a meaningful reduction in the Converting U.S. Holder’s actual or constructive percentage ownership of the Company. Whether the redemption will result in a “meaningful reduction” in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. If the shareholder’s relative interest in the corporation is a small minority interest and the shareholder exercises no control over corporate affairs, taking into account the effect of Redemptions by other shareholders, and its percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) is reduced as a result of the Redemption, such U.S. Holder may be regarded as having a meaningful reduction in its interest pursuant to a published ruling in which the IRS indicated that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder is urged to consult with its tax advisors as to the tax consequences to it of any Redemption of its Company shares.

 

206


Table of Contents

If none of the tests described above applies and subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, the consideration paid to the Converting U.S. Holder will generally be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of such earnings and profits will reduce the Converting U.S. Holder’s basis in the Company shares (but not below zero) and any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Company shares. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the Company shares redeemed will generally be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Company shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Company warrants or possibly in other Company shares constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Jaws Shares (generally, shares of Jaws or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. Holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR COMPANY SHARES PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

Distributions on Jaws Shares

A U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as dividends the amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to Jaws Shares, to the extent the distribution is paid out of Jaws’ current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Jaws Shares and will be treated as described under the section entitled “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants” below.

Dividends that Jaws pays to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally are expected to qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends that Jaws pays to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be taxed as “qualified dividend income” at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights described herein with respect to Jaws Shares may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for these purposes.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants which, in general, would include a redemption of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants that is treated as a sale of such securities as described above and below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares or Public Warrants so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights described herein with respect to the Jaws Shares may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition

 

207


Table of Contents

and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares or Public Warrants so disposed of. See “— Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares” above for discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Shares and/or Public Warrants following the Domestication. See “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants” below for a discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Jaws Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the acquisition of Jaws Shares upon exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Share received upon exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrant, and the exercise price of such Jaws Public Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares received upon exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant will commence on the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Jaws Public Warrant. If a Jaws Public Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrant. See “— Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Public Warrants” above for a discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Jaws Public Warrants following the Domestication.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Shares received generally should equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrants. If the cashless exercise was not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares would be treated as commencing on the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Jaws Shares received would include the holding period of the Jaws Public Warrants.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise may be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder may be deemed to have surrendered a number of Jaws Public Warrants having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of Jaws Public Warrants to be exercised. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Jaws Public Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Shares received would equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrants exercised, and the exercise price of such Jaws Public Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Jaws Shares would commence on the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Jaws Public Warrant; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Jaws Public Warrant.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Jaws Shares received, there can be no assurance as to which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant occurring after Jaws’ giving notice of an intention to redeem the Jaws Public Warrants described in the section entitled “Description of the Company’s Securities — Warrants” are unclear under current law. In the case of a cashless exercise, the exercise may be treated either as if Jaws redeemed such Jaws Public Warrant for Jaws Shares or as an exercise of

the Jaws Public Warrant. If the cashless exercise of Jaws Public Warrants for Jaws Shares is treated as a redemption, then such redemption generally should be treated as a tax-deferred recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case a U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss on such redemption, and accordingly, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Shares received should equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Jaws Public Warrants and the holding period of the Jaws Shares should include the holding period of the Jaws Public Warrants. Alternatively, if the cashless exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant is treated as such, the U.S. federal income tax consequences generally should be as described above in the second and third paragraphs under the heading “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants.” In the case of an exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant for cash, the U.S. federal income tax treatment generally should be as described above in the first paragraph under the heading “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants.” Due to the lack of clarity under current law regarding the treatment described in this paragraph, there can be no assurance as to which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant occurring after Jaws’ giving notice of an intention to redeem the Jaws Public Warrant as described above.

If Jaws redeems Jaws Public Warrants for cash or if Jaws purchases Jaws Public Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under the section entitled “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants.”

Possible Constructive Distributions.

The terms of each Jaws Public Warrant provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of the Jaws Public Warrant or an increase in the Jaws Shares issuable on exercise in certain circumstances discussed in “Description of the Company’s Securities — Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. Holders of the Jaws Public Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Jaws if, for example, the adjustment increases the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Jaws’ assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through a decrease to the exercise price or an increase in the number of Jaws Shares that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property to the U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares which is taxable to them as described under the section entitled “— Distributions on Jaws Shares” above. For example, U.S. Holders of Jaws Public Warrants would generally be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Jaws where the exercise price of the Jaws Public Warrants is reduced in connection with the payment of certain dividends as described in “Description of the Company’s Securities — Warrants.” Such constructive distribution received by a U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as if the U.S. Holders of the Jaws Public Warrant received a cash distribution from Jaws equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. The rules governing constructive distributions as a result of certain adjustments with respect to Jaws Public Warrants are complex, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences of any such constructive distribution with respect to a Jaws Public Warrant.

Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of the Company’s Common Stock

Distributions on Company Shares

Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of Company Shares received in the Domestication will generally constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Company Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants.”

 

209


Table of Contents

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Company Shares generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate as described below. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder of Company Shares who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if the Company Shares are held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. Holder of Company Shares eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants

A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on a sale or other disposition of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants unless:

 

  (i)

such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met, in which case any gain realized will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax;

 

  (ii)

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders, and, if the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, an additional “branch profits tax” may also apply; or

 

  (iii)

Jaws is or has been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period and either (A) the Jaws Shares are not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period more than 5% of outstanding Jaws Shares.

If paragraph (iii) above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such non-U.S. Holder on the sale exchange or other disposition of Jaws Shares or Public Warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such Jaws Shares or Public Warrants from a non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. Jaws will be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its

 

210


Table of Contents

“United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not expect Jaws to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual and in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether Jaws will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. Holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights

This section is addressed to Non-U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares that elect to exercise Redemption Rights to receive cash in exchange for all or a portion of their Jaws Shares. For purposes of this discussion, a “Converting Non-U.S. Holder” is a Non-U.S. Holder that elects to exercise Redemption Rights in respect of all or a portion of its Jaws Shares.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of Non-U.S. Holders that exercise Redemption Rights with respect to Jaws Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Converting Non-U.S. Holder will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Company shares redeemed, as described above under the section entitled — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of Company shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Converting Non-U.S. Holder generally will be as described above under the section entitled “— Gain on Disposition of Company Shares.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of Company shares, the Converting Non-U.S. Holder generally will be treated as receiving a distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under the section entitled “— Distributions on Company Shares.”

Converting Non-U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares considering exercising their Redemption Rights are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Redemption of their shares will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of a Jaws Public Warrant, or the lapse of a Jaws Public Warrant held by a non-U.S. Holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant held by a U.S. Holder, as described above under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Jaws Public Warrants,” although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described above under the section entitled “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants.” If Jaws redeems Jaws Public Warrants for cash or if it purchases Jaws Public Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a disposition to the non-U.S. Holder, the consequences of which would be similar to those described above under the section entitled “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Jaws Shares and Public Warrants.”

Possible Constructive Distributions.

The terms of each Jaws Public Warrant provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of the Jaws Public Warrant or an increase in the Jaws Shares issuable on exercise in certain circumstances discussed in “Description of the Company’s Securities — Warrants.” As described above under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Possible Constructive Distributions,” certain adjustments with respect to the Jaws Public Warrants can give rise to a constructive distribution. Any constructive distribution received by a non-U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable withholding) in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder received a cash distribution from Jaws equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. If withholding applies to any constructive distribution received by a non-U.S. Holder, it is possible that the tax would be

 

211


Table of Contents

withheld from any amount paid to or held on behalf of the non-U.S. holder by the applicable withholding agent. The rules governing constructive distributions as a result of certain adjustments with respect to Jaws Public Warrants are complex, and non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences of any such constructive distribution with respect to a Jaws Public Warrant.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

The Company generally must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a sale of Company Shares within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, securities (including Company Shares and Company warrants) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which Company Shares and Company warrants are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Company Shares and Company warrants held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners”, which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends in respect of Company shares. While withholding under FATCA

 

212


Table of Contents

generally would also apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of securities (including Company shares or Company warrants), proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in Company Shares and Company warrants.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination and the transactions completed by the Business Combination Agreement will be regarded as a reverse recapitalization in conformity with GAAP as PCIH’s former owner will retain control after the Business Combination. Under this method of accounting, PCIH has been identified as the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) while Jaws is deemed the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer) for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of PCIH with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of PCIH issuing stock for the net assets of Jaws, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PCIH will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination will be those of PCIH.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, (i) except for filings with the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effectuate the Domestication and (ii) the Business Combination and filings required of solicitation materials pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the entry of Jaws Acquisition Corp. into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Jaws Acquisition Corp., Merger Sub, PCIH and the Seller, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the issuance of the acquisition consideration thereunder, and the performance by Jaws of its obligations thereunder thereby be ratified, approved, adopted and confirmed in all respects.”

Vote Required for Approval with Respect to the Business Combination Proposal

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, as of the Record Date, of the Jaws Shares that are present and vote at the Shareholders Meeting. If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the NYSE Proposal or the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal fails to receive the required shareholder approval, the Business Combination will not be completed. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Shareholders Meeting.

The Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement. As of the Record Date, such shareholders beneficially owned 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares, excluding shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor and Jaws’ directors and officers have not purchased any additional ordinary shares.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 3: THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Jaws is asking its shareholders to approve the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, referred to herein as the “Equity Incentive Plan.” The Jaws Board intends to adopt the Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the approval from the holders of Jaws Shares. If approved, the Equity Incentive Plan will become effective upon the Closing and will be used by the Company following the Closing. Where the interests of PCIH (before the Closing) and the interests of the Company (following the Closing) are the same with respect to the Equity Incentive Plan, the term “Company” will be used.

The Jaws Board believes that the Company must offer a competitive equity incentive program if it is to successfully attract and retain the best possible candidates for positions of substantial responsibility within the Company. The Jaws Board expects that the Equity Incentive Plan will be an important factor in attracting, retaining and rewarding high caliber employees who are essential to the Company’s success and providing incentives to these individuals to promote the success of the Company.

Summary of the Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary description of the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the Equity Incentive Plan, as proposed to be adopted by Jaws in connection with the Business Combination. This summary is not a complete statement of the Equity Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex L to the proxy statement/prospectus. Jaws stockholders should refer to the Equity Incentive Plan for more complete and detailed information about the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan.

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to provide a means whereby the Company can align the long-term financial interests of its employees, consultants, and directors with the financial interests of its stockholders. In addition, the Jaws Board believes that the ability to grant options and other equity-based awards will help the Company to attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants, and directors and encourages them to devote their best efforts to the Company’s business and financial success.

Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan by Jaws stockholders is required, among other things, in order to: (i) comply with NYSE rules requiring stockholder approval of equity compensation plans and (ii) allow the grant of incentive stock options to participants in the Equity Incentive Plan.

If this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is approved by Jaws stockholders, the Equity Incentive Plan will become effective as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Closing. Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan by Jaws stockholders will allow the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other awards at levels determined appropriate by its board of directors or Compensation Committee of the Company following the closing of the Business Combination. The Equity Incentive Plan will also allow the Company to utilize a broad array of equity incentives and performance-based cash incentives in order to secure and retain the services of its employees, directors and consultants, and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of its employees, directors and consultants with the interests of its stockholders following the closing of the Business Combination.

The Company’s employee equity compensation program, as implemented under the Equity Incentive Plan, will allow the Company to remain competitive with comparable companies in its industry by giving it the resources to attract and retain talented individuals to achieve its business objectives and build stockholder value. Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan will provide the Company with the flexibility it needs to use equity compensation and other incentive awards to attract, retain and motivate talented employees, directors and consultants who are important to the Company’s long-term growth and success.

Table of Contents

The Jaws Board has approved the award of restricted stock units and stock options to                  executive officers and                  members of senior management under the Equity Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval of the Equity Incentive Plan. These awards are shown in the table entitled “New Plan Benefits” below.

Summary of Material Features of the Equity Incentive Plan

The material features of the Equity Incentive Plan include:

 

   

Initially, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is                  shares;

 

   

the award of stock options (both incentive and non-qualified options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards, and dividend equivalent rights and is permitted;

 

   

stock options and stock appreciation rights will not be repriced in any manner without stockholder approval;

 

   

the value of all awards awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan and all other cash compensation paid by us to any non-employee director in any calendar year may not exceed $                or $                for the year in which a non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the Company Board;

 

   

any material amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan is subject to approval by our stockholders; and

 

   

the term of the Equity Incentive Plan will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Equity Incentive Plan is approved by the Jaws Board.

Information Regarding Equity Incentive Program

It is critical to the Company’s long-term success that the interests of its employees, directors and consultants are tied to its success as “owners” of the business. Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan will allow the Company to grant stock options and other awards at levels it determines to be appropriate in order to attract new employees, directors and consultants, retain existing employees, directors and consultants and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the Company’s success and ultimately increase stockholder value. The Equity Incentive Plan allows the Company to utilize a broad array of equity incentives with flexibility in designing equity incentives, including stock option grants, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, unrestricted stock awards and dividend equivalent rights to offer competitive equity compensation packages in order to retain and motivate the talent necessary for the Company.

If Jaws’ request to approve the Equity Incentive Plan is approved by Jaws stockholders, the Company will initially have                  shares, subject to adjustment for specified changes in the Company’s capitalization, available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan as of the effective time of the closing of the Business Combination. This pool size is necessary to provide sufficient reserved shares for a level of grants that will attract, retain, and motivate employees and other participants.

Description of the Equity Incentive Plan

The Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Jaws Board on                    , 2021 and will become effective, subject to stockholder approval, on the date immediately preceding the Closing. The Equity Incentive Plan allows us to make equity-based incentive awards to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Jaws Board anticipates that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company will assure a closer alignment of the interests of such individuals with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.

We have initially reserved                shares of Class A common stock for the issuance of awards under our Equity Incentive Plan. This limit is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.

 

216


Table of Contents

The shares we issue under our Equity Incentive Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares that we reacquire. The shares of Class A common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock, expire or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under our Equity Incentive Plan will be added back to the shares available for issuance under our Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued upon exercise of incentive stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed                shares of Class A common stock. Based upon a price per share of $10.00, the maximum aggregate market value of the Class A common stock that could potentially be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan as of the Closing is $                .

The grant date fair value of all awards made under our Equity Incentive Plan and all other cash compensation paid by us to any non-employee director in any calendar year shall not exceed $                ; provided, however, that such amount shall be $                for the calendar year in which the applicable non-employee director is initially elected or appointed to the board. The closing price of the Company’s shares as of                 was $                .

The Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee” or the “administrator”). The Compensation Committee has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. The administrator may delegate to a committee consisting of one or more officers the authority to grant awards to employees who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and not members of the delegated committee, subject to certain limitations and guidelines.

Persons eligible to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan will be those full or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company as selected from time to time by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, following the Closing, approximately                individuals will be eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, which includes approximately                officers,                 employees who are not officers,                 non-employee directors, and                 consultants.

Our Equity Incentive Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase Class A common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be non-qualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Non-qualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the administrator but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. The term of each option will be fixed by the administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options. The exercise price of a stock option may not be reduced after the date of the option grant without stockholder approval, other than to appropriately reflect changes in our capital structure.

Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the administrator or by delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Class A common stock that are beneficially owned by the optionee free of restrictions or were purchased in the open market. Subject to applicable law, the exercise price may also be delivered by a broker pursuant to irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee. In addition, the administrator may permit non-qualified options to be exercised using a “net exercise” arrangement that reduces the number of shares issued

 

217


Table of Contents

to the optionee by the largest whole number of shares with fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

The Compensation Committee may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to cash or shares of Class A common stock equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by our Compensation Committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Our Compensation Committee will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.

The Compensation Committee may award restricted shares of Class A common stock and restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. Our Compensation Committee may also grant shares of Class A common stock that are free from any restrictions under our Equity Incentive Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant. The administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had held a specified number of shares of Class A common stock.

The Compensation Committee may grant cash bonuses under the Equity Incentive Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute outstanding awards under our Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent that awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, upon the effective time of the sale event, such awards shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all awards with time-based vesting conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the sale event, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a sale event to the extent earned as determined in the Compensation Committee’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award certificate. In the event of such termination, the Company may make or provide for payment, in cash or in kind, to participants holding options and stock appreciation rights equal to the excess of the per share cash consideration in the sale event over the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights (provided that, in the case of an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the per share cash consideration, such option or stock appreciation right shall be cancelled for no consideration). The Company shall also have the option to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to grantees holding other awards in an amount equal to the per share cash consideration multiplied by the number of vested shares under such award.

The Board may amend or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan and the Compensation Committee may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may adversely affect rights under an award without the holder’s consent. Certain amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan require the approval of Company stockholders.

No awards may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan after the date that is ten years from the effective date of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Form S-8

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, when permitted by SEC rules, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the Class A common stock issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the Equity Incentive Plan, which, subject to approval by Jaws stockholders, will not become effective until the date immediately preceding the date of the Closing. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside and/or provide services. The information is based upon current federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of an award or the disposition of stock acquired the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the optionee upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If shares of Class A common stock issued to an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then generally (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price (the amount paid for the shares) will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) the Company will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes; provided that such incentive stock option otherwise meets all of the technical requirements of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.

If shares of Class A common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), generally (i) the optionee will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares of Class A common stock) over the exercise price thereof, and (ii) the Company will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive stock option is paid by tendering shares of Class A common stock.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as a non-qualified option. Generally, an incentive stock option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

Non-Qualified Options. No income is generally realized by the optionee at the time a non-qualified option is granted. Generally (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock on the date of exercise, and we receive a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares of Class A common stock have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the non-qualified option is paid by tendering shares of Class A common stock. Upon exercise, the optionee will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of the option.

Other Awards. Participants typically are subject to income tax and recognize such tax at the time that an award is exercised, vests or becomes non-forfeitable, unless the award provides for deferred settlement. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with other awards under the Equity Incentive Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income.

Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control (such as a sale event) may cause all or a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as “parachute payments” as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may be non-deductible to the Company, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to a non-deductible 20% federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).

New Plan Benefits

No grants have been made under the Equity Incentive Plan, however; it is anticipated that certain executive officers and members of senior management of the Company will be granted stock options and restricted stock unit awards under the Equity Incentive Plan in connection with the Business Combination, effective as of and contingent upon the Closing (the “Closing Equity Awards”). The following table summarizes the stock option awards and restricted stock unit awards that are anticipated to be granted in connection with the Business Combination to each NEO, the executive officers as a group, other employees as a group, and the non-employee directors as a group. The value of the awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of Class A common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by grantees and the extent to which any applicable performance vesting criteria are achieved. All other future awards to directors, executive officers, employees and consultants under the Equity Incentive Plan are not presently determinable at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and have not been included in the table below because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the administrator.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 4: THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

On                     , 2021, the Jaws Board adopted, subject to the approval by Jaws stockholders, the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Jaws Board believes that the adoption of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will benefit the Company by providing employees with an opportunity to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock and will enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate valued employees.

Based solely on the closing price of Class A ordinary shares reported on the New York Stock Exchange on                , the maximum aggregate market value of the                shares of Class A common stock that could potentially be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is $                .

Summary of the Material Provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The following description of certain provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to be a summary only. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex K to the proxy statement/prospectus.

This Plan is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code.

Shares Subject to the Plan. An aggregate of 4,700,000 shares of Class A common stock will be reserved and available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If our capital structure changes because of a stock dividend, stock split or similar event, the number of shares that can be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be appropriately adjusted. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance thereunder will automatically increase on January 1, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter by the least of (i) 1% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 15,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, or (iii) such lesser number of shares determined by the administrator of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Plan Administration. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will have full authority to make, administer and interpret such rules and regulations regarding the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as it deems advisable.

Eligibility. Any employee of the Company or its designated subsidiaries is eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan so long as the employee is employed for more than 20 hours a week on the first day of the applicable offering period. Individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or its designated subsidiaries for purposes of the Company’s or applicable designated subsidiary’s payroll system are not considered to be eligible employees of the Company or any designated subsidiary and are not eligible to participate in the Plan. If determined by the administrator, a maximum value may be established whereby, no participant may be granted an option which permits such individual rights to purchase Class A common stock under the Plan to accrue at a rate which exceeds such a value based on the fair market value of such Class A common stock (determined on the option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the option is outstanding.

Participation; Payroll Deductions. Participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is limited to eligible employees who authorize payroll deductions equal to a whole percentage or amount of base pay to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Employees may authorize payroll deductions, with a minimum of 1% of base pay and a maximum of 15% of base pay. There are currently approximately                employees who will be eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Once an employee becomes a participant in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, that employee will automatically participate in successive offering periods, as described below, until such time as that employee withdraws from the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, becomes ineligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or his or her employment ceases.

Offering Periods. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, each offering of Class A common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be for a period of six months, which we refer to as an “offering period.” The first offering period under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will begin on such date as determined by the administrator of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Subsequent offerings under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will generally begin on the first business day occurring on or after each May 1st and November 1st, and will end on the last business day occurring on or before the following October 31st and April 30th, respectively. Shares are purchased on the last business day of each offering period, with that day being referred to as an “exercise date.” The Compensation Committee may establish different offering periods or exercise dates under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Exercise Price. On the first day of an offering period, employees participating in that offering period will receive an option to purchase shares of Class A common stock. On the exercise date of each offering period, the employee is deemed to have exercised the option, at the exercise price, to the extent of accumulated payroll deductions. The option exercise price is equal to the lesser of (i) 85% the fair market value per share of our Class A common stock on the first day of the offering period and (ii) 85% of the fair market value per share of our Class A common stock on the exercise date. The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued to any employee under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in any offering period shall be determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.

Subject to certain limitations, the number of shares of Class A common stock a participant purchases in each offering period is determined by dividing the total amount of payroll deductions withheld from the participant’s compensation during the offering period by the option exercise price. In general, if an employee is no longer a participant on an exercise date, the employee’s option will be automatically terminated, and the amount of the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions will be refunded.

Terms of Participation. Except as may be permitted by the Compensation Committee in advance of an offering, a participant may not increase or decrease the amount of his or her payroll deductions during any offering period but may increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction with respect to the next offering period by filing a new enrollment form at least 15 business days before the beginning of such offering period. A participant may withdraw from an offering period at any time without affecting his or her eligibility to participate in future offering periods. If a participant withdraws from an offering period, that participant may not again participate in the same offering period, but may enroll in subsequent offering periods. An employee’s withdrawal will be effective as of the business day following the employee’s delivery of written notice of withdrawal under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Term; Amendments and Termination. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue until terminated by the Company Board. The Company Board may, in its discretion, at any time, terminate or amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Upon termination of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, all amounts in the accounts of participating employees will be refunded.

New Plan Benefits

Since participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary, the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any individual or group of individuals under the amended and restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the future are not determinable.

Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is only a summary of the effect of the United States income tax laws and regulations upon an employee and us with respect to an employee’s participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all federal tax implications or participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, nor does it discuss the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a participant may reside or otherwise be subject to tax.

 

223


Table of Contents

A participant in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares as if such amounts were actually received. A participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise of the purchase right over the purchase price. If the participant is employed by the Company or one of its affiliates, that income will be subject to withholding taxes. The participant’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the exercise date, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant.

Upon an employee’s purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company or its designated subsidiaries will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount recognized as ordinary income by the participant. There are no U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Company or its designated subsidiaries by reason of the grant of rights under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution that the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the form attached as Annex K to the proxy statement/prospectus in respect of the Shareholders Meeting of the Company to be approved and adopted in all respects with effect from the closing of the Business Combination and transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.”

Vote Required for Approval With Respect to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 6: THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

Overview

Jaws’ shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. The Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.

In the judgment of the Jaws Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of Jaws and its stockholders following the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, Jaws intends that the Certificate of Incorporation in the form set forth on Annex C will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination and Domestication, assuming adoption of the Charter Proposal.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ materially from the Existing Organizational Documents. The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed to be made between our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws for the Company. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Existing Organizational Documents of Jaws, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, the complete text of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C, and the complete text of the proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read each of the Proposed Organizational Documents in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Additionally, as the Existing Organizational Documents are governed by the Cayman Islands law and the Proposed Organizational Documents will be governed by the DGCL, we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal  Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Organizational Documents Before and After the Domestication,” “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication” and “Shareholder Proposal 5: The Charter Proposal.

   See Article 49 of our Existing Organizational Documents.   

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a non-binding advisory resolution, that the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws (copies of which are attached to the proxy statement/prospectus in respect of the Shareholders Meeting as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), will be approved and adopted with such principal changes as described in Organizational Documents Proposals 6A-D.”

Vote Required for Approval With Respect to the Organizational Documents Proposals

The approval of the Organizational Documents proposals will require the affirmative vote of holders of the majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Shareholders Meeting. Accordingly, a Jaws shareholders’ failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Organizational Documents Proposals will have no effect on the governance Organizational Documents Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Organizational Documents Proposal.

As discussed above, a vote to approve the Organizational Documents Proposals is an advisory vote, and therefore, is not binding on Jaws or its Board. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote, Jaws intends that each of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, in the form set forth on Annex C and Annex D of the proxy statement and prospectus, respectively, and containing the provisions noted above, will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination and Domestication, assuming adoption of the Charter Proposal.

If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal or the NYSE Proposal fails to receive the required shareholder approval, the Business Combination will not be completed. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Shareholders Meeting.

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL 6A — APPROVAL OF AUTHORIZATION OF CHANGE TO AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal 6A — An amendment to change the authorized capital stock of Jaws from (i) 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 40,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preference shares of Jaws to (ii)                 shares of the Class A common stock,                shares of Class B common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 86,250,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 33,533,333 Warrants to acquire ordinary shares, which comprise the 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor and the 23,000,000 Public Warrants.

In connection with the Business Combination, at the Closing, the Company will issue                 shares of the Company Class B common stock to the Seller for all PCIH Common Units held by the Seller. For further details, see “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Business Combination Consideration.”

In order to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, including for any Class B common stock held by the Seller which, together with an equal number of PCIH Common Units, will be exchanged for Class A common stock pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, our board of directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of the Company change the authorized capital stock of Jaws from (i) 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 40,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preference shares of Jaws to (ii)                 shares of Class A common stock of the Company,                 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws of the Company, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of the Company that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. Our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions).

Recommendation of the Jaws Board

THE JAWS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT JAWS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL 6A.

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL 6B — APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL REGARDING ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK OF THE COMPANY AT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ SOLE DISCRETION, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal 6B — An amendment to authorize the Company Board to make issuances of any or all shares of Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions and at such future dates as may be expressly determined by the Company Board and as may be permitted by the DGCL.

Our shareholders are also being asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, Organizational Documents Proposal 6B, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination.

Under Organizational Documents Proposal 6A, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Company will be 10,000,000 shares. Organizational Documents Proposal 6B will allow for issuance of any or all of these shares of Preferred Stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company Board, as may be permitted by the DGCL, and without further stockholder action, except as it relates to any certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which we may provide equity incentives to employees, officers and directors, and in certain instances may be used as an anti-takeover defense.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws of the Company, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

Our board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Authorized but unissued Preferred Stock may enable the Company Board to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of the Class A common stock. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Company Board was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of the Company, such preferred stock could be issued by the board without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing the Company Board to issue the authorized Preferred Stock on its own volition will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue such Preferred Stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for such purposes.

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL 6C — APPROVAL OF DELAWARE AS EXCLUSIVE FORUM

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal 6C — An amendment to adopt Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation.

Our shareholders are also being asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, Organizational Documents Proposal 6C, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination.

The proposed Bylaws provides that, (a) unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings: (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of or based on a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (C) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (D) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; (E) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (F) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over any indispensable parties named as defendants. The foregoing shall not apply to any claims arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act; and (b) unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

If any action that is the subject matter of which is within the scope of the foregoing is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the foregoing (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

If any provision of the Bylaws becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from the Bylaws, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of the Bylaws with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Company’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of the Bylaws shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the foregoing.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the proposed Bylaws of the Company, a copy of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed Bylaws in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist the Company in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and perceived level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. The Jaws Board believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, the Company will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions.

Adopting U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forum for resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act is intended to assist the Company in resolving such disputes in a consistent manner with greater uniformity of procedures and precedents. The ability to require such claims to be brought within a single judicial system will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, encourage consistent application of a relatively known body of case law and perceived level of expertise. The Jaws Board believes that the U.S. federal district courts are best suited to address disputed involving actions arising under the Securities Act given that the Securities Act is promulgated by the federal government. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of disputes arising under the Securities Act.

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make the post-combination company’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL 6D — APPROVAL OF OTHER CHANGES IN CONNECTION WITH ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal 6D — An amendment to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as part of the Domestication (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), including (1) changing the corporate name from “Jaws Acquisition Corp.” to “Cano Health, Inc.” (which will occur as part of the Domestication in connection with the Business Combination), (2) making the Company’s corporate existence perpetual, (3) electing to not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, (4) granting an explicit waiver regarding corporate opportunities to the non-employee directors of the Company and (5) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which the Jaws Board believes are necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination.

Our shareholders are also being asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, Organizational Documents Proposal 6D, which is, in the judgment of the Jaws Board, necessary to adequately address the needs of the Company after the Business Combination.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will provide that the name of the corporation will be “Cano Health, Inc.” However, this name change will occur in connection with the Business Combination and as part of the Domestication and associated adoption of the Proposed Organizational Documents. In addition, the Proposed Organizational Documents will make the Company’s corporate existence perpetual.

The proposed Certificate of Incorporation of the Company explicitly “opts out” of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents a public company incorporated in Delaware from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the time that the person became an interested stockholder, unless, among other exceptions, the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the board of directors. A business combination includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving the interested stockholder and the sale of more than 10% of the company’s assets. In general, an interested stockholder is any stockholder that, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns 15% or more of the company’s stock. A public company incorporated in Delaware is automatically subject to Section 203, unless it opts out in its original corporate charter or pursuant to a subsequent charter or bylaw amendment approved by stockholders.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will also provide an explicit waiver of corporate opportunities to the non-employee directors of the Company.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the Trust Account, winding up of our operations should we not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Existing Organizational Documents) because following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will not be a blank check company.

Adoption of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, assuming approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, will result, upon the Domestication, in the wholesale replacement of Jaws’ Existing Organizational Documents with the Company’s Proposed Organizational Documents. While certain material changes between the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents have been unbundled into distinct Organizational Documents Proposals or otherwise identified in this Organizational Documents Proposal 6D, there are other differences between the Existing and Proposed Organizational Documents (arising from, among other things, differences between the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the

 

234


Table of Contents

DGCL and the typical form of organizational documents under each such body of law) that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if we adopt this Organizational Documents Proposal 6D. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to carefully review the terms of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Bylaws of the Company, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, as well as the information set under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 1: The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under the Applicable Organizational Documents Before and After the Domestication.

Reasons for the Amendments

Corporate Name

The Jaws Board believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Jaws Acquisition Corp.” to “Cano Health, Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with PCIH and to clearly identify Cano Health, Inc. as the publicly traded entity.

Perpetual Existence

The Jaws Board believes that making the Company’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the Jaws Board believes that it is the most appropriate period for the Company following the Business Combination.

Takeovers by Interested Stockholders

The Proposed Organizational Documents explicitly “opt out” of Section 203 of the DGCL. The Jaws Board believes that while such provisions will provide some measure of protection against an interested stockholder that is proposing a two-tiered transaction structure that is unduly coercive, it would not ultimately prevent a potential takeover that enjoys the support of stockholders and will also help to prevent a third party from acquiring “creeping control” of the Company without paying a fair premium to all stockholders. Thus, the Jaws Board has determined that the provisions opting out of Section 203 included in Certificate of Incorporation are in the best interests of the post-combination company.

Waiver of Corporate Opportunities

The Jaws Board believes that granting this waiver is essential to our ability to retain and attract qualified directors. We expect that qualified directors would likely engage in business activities outside of the Company and would anticipate that such outside experience would be beneficial to any such director’s board service for and management of the Company. The Jaws Board believes that without such a waiver, qualified directors could be dissuaded from serving on the Company Board if they are concerned that their directorship could foreclose them from, or expose them to potential liability for, pursuing commercial opportunities in their individual capacity (including in connection with other entities unrelated to the Company and its affiliates). The Jaws Board believes that the corporate opportunity waiver included in the Proposed Organizational Documents provides a clear delineation between what constitutes a corporate opportunity for the Company and what constitutes a commercial opportunity that a director may otherwise pursue in his or her individual capacity, and that such clarity will enable the Company to attract and retain qualified directors.

Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Organizational Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve the Company and allow it to continue as a

 

235

corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the Jaws Board believes it is the most appropriate period for the Company following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in our current certificate require that proceeds from the Jaws’ initial public offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of Jaws has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Organizational Documents.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 7: THE NYSE PROPOSAL

Overview

The NYSE Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of shares of Class A common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, and the Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03

Under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, a company is required to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. In the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, Jaws currently expects to issue an estimated             shares of Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock to be issued upon the exchange or conversion of securities to be outstanding upon consummation of the Business Combination).

Additionally, pursuant to NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, when a NYSE-listed company proposes to issue securities in connection with the Business Combination of the stock or assets of another company, stockholder approval is required if a substantial stockholder of such company has a 5% or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in such company or the assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions and the present or potential issuance of common stock could result in an increase in outstanding shares of common stock or voting power of 5% or more. NYSE Listing Rule 312.03(e) defines a substantial stockholder as the holder of an interest of 5% or more of either the number of shares of common stock or the voting power outstanding of a NYSE-listed company. Because the Sponsor currently owns greater than 5% of Jaws’ ordinary shares, the Sponsor is considered a substantial shareholder of Jaws under NYSE Listing Rule 312.03(e).

In the event that this proposal is not approved by Jaws shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by Jaws shareholders, but the Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Company will not issue such shares of Class A common stock.

Vote Required for Approval With Respect to the NYSE Proposal

The approval of the NYSE Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholders Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Shareholders Meeting. The NYSE Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of shares of Class A common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination, and the Class A common stock issued with the PIPE Investment be approved.”

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL 8: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal allows the Jaws Board to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Shareholders Meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to permit further solicitation of proxies and votes and to provide additional time for Sponsor and Jaws and the Jaws shareholders to make purchases of ordinary shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the proposals to be submitted at the Shareholders Meeting. See “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination.”

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the Shareholders Meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, the Jaws Board may not be able to adjourn the Shareholders Meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Shareholders Meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the Shareholders Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Shareholders Meeting.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the Shareholders Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the Shareholders Meeting be approved.”

Recommendation of the Jaws Board

THE JAWS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT JAWS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Jaws’ directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of Jaws and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Jaws’ officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled See “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Jaws’ Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 present the combination of the financial information of JAWS Acquisition Corp. (“Jaws”) and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings LLC (“PCIH”), after giving effect to the Business Combination and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

 

   

Business Combination:

At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Jaws would cease to be a shell company and, the combined company will operate under the name Cano Health, Inc. (“Cano Health Inc.”). Under applicable accounting standards, PCIH will be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, which will be treated as a reverse recapitalization, as PCIH’s former owner will retain control after the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it was completed on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

   

Significant Acquisitions:

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the acquisition by PCIH of Healthy Partners (“HP”) on June 1, 2020 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

   

Tax Receivable Agreement:

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, Cano Health, Inc. will be a party to a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). Under the terms of that agreement, Cano Health, Inc. generally will be required to pay to Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (“Seller”), and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that Cano Health, Inc. is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, Cano Health, Inc. generally will be required to pay to JAWS Sponsor LLC, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless Cano Health, Inc. exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur.

Cano Health, Inc. has recorded an estimated tax receivable liability of $33.3 million assuming (1) $465.3 million of cash paid to historical owners of PCIH, (2) a share price equal to $10.00 per share, (3) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (4) no material changes in tax law, (5) the ability to utilize tax attributes and (6) future tax receivable agreement payments. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. However, due to the uncertainty of various factors, including: (1) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (2) no material changes in tax law and (3) the ability to utilize tax attributes, the likely tax savings we will realize and the resulting amounts we are likely to pay pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are uncertain.

If Seller were to exchange their PCIH equity interests for Cano Health, Inc. Class A common stock at Closing, Cano Health, Inc. would recognize a liability of approximately $1,138.4 million.

Debt Paydown:

Per the Business Combination Agreement $400.0 million of the PIPE proceeds will be used to partially pay off PCIH’s debt (“Debt Paydown”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any integration costs, tax deductibility of transaction costs, or anticipated synergies resulting from the favorable vendor pricing in the pre-acquisition period of entities acquired by PCIH. These synergies are effective starting on the date of each acquisition and therefore, are not captured in the results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” and is subject to a number of uncertainties and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the audited historical financial statements of each of Jaws and PCIH and the notes thereto, as well as the disclosures contained in the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Jaws” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health.”

The pro forma information contained herein assumes Jaws’ stockholders approve the proposed Business Combination. Jaws’ stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they approve the proposed Business Combination. Jaws’ cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will elect to convert their shares to cash. The actual results will be within the scenarios described below, however, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what Cano Health, Inc.’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Cano Health, Inc. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented under two redemption scenarios, which produce different allocations of the equity of Cano Health, Inc:

 

   

No Redemption scenario that assumes that none of Jaws’ stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds contained in the Trust Account; and

 

   

Maximum Redemption scenario that assumes that Jaws’ stockholders elect to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds contained in the Trust Account.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented under no redemption scenario. The only potential impact of the Business Combination on the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations in the maximum redemption scenario relates to the income tax and the allocation of net income or (loss) to non-controlling interests and is disclosed in notes 3(h6) and 3(h7) below.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Business Combination as if it had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest fiscal year presented and on the condition that there is a reasonable basis for each adjustment in addition to being in management’s opinion, necessary to disclose a fair statement of the pro forma financial information.

PCIH’s historical results reflect the audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and audited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 under GAAP. Jaws’ historical results reflect the audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and audited condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 under GAAP. HP’s historical results reflect the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2020 under GAAP.

Note 2 — Description of the Business Combination

On November 11, 2020, Jaws, Merger Sub, the Seller, and PCIH entered into the Business Combination Agreement, according to which the parties will undertake a series of transactions at the Closing that will result in PCIH becoming a partially owned subsidiary of Cano Health, Inc.

The acquisition of PCIH will be implemented through an “Up-C” structure. Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, Jaws will be reincorporated in the State of Delaware and become a U.S domestic corporation named Cano Health, Inc. Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jaws, will merge with and into PCIH, with PCIH as the surviving company in the merger. The Seller, the former sole owner and Managing Member of PCIH, will hold approximately 64.8% of voting rights in Cano Health, Inc. and 64.8% of economic rights in PCIH while the former stockholders of Jaws and PIPE investors will hold approximately 35.2% of economic and voting rights in Cano Health, Inc. and 35.2% of economic and 100% of managing rights in PCIH.

The diagram below depicts a simplified version of the combined company following the Closing of the Business Combination:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and under the no redemption scenario, the Seller and its equity holders will receive aggregate consideration with a value equal to $3,522.7 million, which consists of (i) $465.3 million of closing cash payment amount and (ii) $3,057.4 million in closing number of securities of Cano Health, Inc.’s Common Stock or 305.7 million Class B shares based on an assumed stock price of $10.00 per share.

Under the maximum redemption scenario, the Seller and its equity holders will receive aggregate consideration with a value equal to $3,522.7 million, which consists of (i) $129.6 million of closing cash payment amount and (ii) $3,393.1 million in closing number of securities of Cano Health, Inc’s Common Stock or 339.3 million Class B shares based on an assumed stock price of $10.00 per share. This scenario assumes that 44.1 million shares of Jaws’ Class B Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $441.0 million. The maximum redemption scenario requires that Jaws’ closing cash is at least equal to or greater than $1,025.0 million; provided the cash proceeds available for release from the Trust Account is equal to or greater than $225.0 million pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

Following the Closing of the Business Combination, Class A shareholders will own direct controlling interests in the combined results of PCIH and Cano Health, Inc. while the Seller as the sole Class B shareholder will own indirect economic interests in PCIH shown as non-controlling interest in the financial statements of Cano Health, Inc. The indirect economic interests are held by the Seller in the form of PCIH Units that can be redeemed for Class A shares together with the cancellation of an equal number of Class B shares in Cano Health, Inc. The non-controlling interest will decrease as Class B shares and PCIH Units are exchanged for Class A shares in Cano Health, Inc. The respective controlling interests and non-controlling interests in Cano Health, Inc. and PCIH depend on the level of redemptions. The possible range of controlling interests is 26.5%-35.2% and the possible range of non-controlling interests is 64.8%-73.5%. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed

combined financial information, 35.2% controlling interest and 64.8% non-controlling interests has been used assuming no redemption scenario. For the maximum redemption scenario, 26.5% controlling interest and 73.5% non-controlling interest has been applied.

  f.

Deferred Tax Assets Represents adjustments to reflect applicable deferred tax. The deferred taxes are primarily related to the difference between the financial statement and tax basis in the partnership interests of PCIH. This basis difference primarily results from the Business Combination where Cano Health, Inc. recorded a carryover basis on all assets for financial accounting purposes and a fair value step-up on a portion of the assets for income tax purposes. The $62.7 million adjustment related to the deferred tax asset is assuming: (1) the GAAP balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 adjusted for the pro forma entries described herein, (2) estimated tax basis as of December 31, 2020 adjusted for the pro forma entries described herein, (3) a valuation allowance of $215.1 million (4) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, and (5) no material changes in tax law. The recorded valuation allowance relates to a portion of Cano Health, Inc.’s tax basis in excess of GAAP basis in its partnership interests of PCIH for which Cano Health, Inc. believes it is not more likely than not that it will realize a tax benefit in the future. In case of maximum redemption by Cano Health, Inc.’s stockholders, the impact of the Business Combination on the deferred tax asset will be a decrease of $23.2 million net of an $152.0 million valuation allowance.

 

  g.

Tax Receivable Agreement Upon the completion of the Business Combination, Cano Health, Inc. will be a party to a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). Under the terms of that agreement, Cano Health, Inc. generally will be required to pay to Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that Cano Health, Inc. is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, Cano Health, Inc. generally will be required to pay to the JAWS Sponsor LLC, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless Cano Health, Inc. exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount

Table of Contents
  representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur.

The $33.3 million adjustment related to the Tax Receivable Agreement assumes: (1) $465.3 million of cash paid to historical owners of PCIH, (2) a share price equal to $10.00 per share, (3) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 3.4%, (4) no material changes in tax law, (5) the ability to utilize tax attributes and (6) future Tax Receivable Agreement payments. The adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been recorded as an adjustment to stockholder equity as these adjustments arise from an equity transaction of the combined company. Jaws anticipates that it will account for the income tax effects resulting from future taxable exchanges of PCIH Common Units by historical owners of PCIH for Cano Health, Inc. Class A shares or the cash equivalent thereof by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of each exchange. Further, Jaws will evaluate the likelihood that Jaws will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, and, to the extent that Jaws estimates that it is more likely than not that Jaws will not realize the benefit, Jaws will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

In case of maximum redemption by holders of Jaws Class A ordinary shares and, therefore, $129.6 million of cash paid to historical owners of PCIH, the impact of the Business Combination adjustment related to the Tax Receivable Agreement will be a decrease of $24.4 million.

The Tax Receivable Agreement will be accounted for as contingent liabilities, with amounts accrued when considered probable and reasonably estimable. We recorded adjustments relating to the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, as follows:

 

  (1)

We have recorded an increase of $62.7 million in deferred tax assets/liabilities related to tax benefits from future deductions attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (see Note 3(f)).

 

  (2)

We have recorded $33.3 million in liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement based on our estimate of the aggregate amount that we will pay to historical owners of PCIH and JAWS Sponsor LLC under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

 

  (3)

We have recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital of $29.4 million, which is equal to the difference between the increase in deferred tax assets and the increase in liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement (see Note 3(d)).

Due to the uncertainty as to the amount and timing of future exchanges of PCIH Common Units held by the Seller (“Continuing Company Units”, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), by historical owners of PCIH, as applicable, and as to the price per share of Cano Health Inc Class A shares at the time of any such exchanges, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information do not assume exchanges of Continuing Company Units have occurred. Therefore, no increases in tax basis in PCIH’s assets or other tax benefits that may be realized as a result of any such future exchanges have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. However, if all of the Continuing Company Units were exchanged (in each case, together with a corresponding number of shares of Cano Health Inc. Class B Common Stock), respectively, immediately following the completion of this offering, we would recognize an incremental deferred tax asset of approximately $1,076.2 million and a non-current liability of approximately $1,105.1 million based on our estimate of the aggregate amount that we will pay under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of such future exchanges, assuming: (i) a price of $10 per share; (ii) a constant corporate tax rate of 24.4%; (iii) that we will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits; and (iv) no material changes in tax law. Assuming no change in the other assumptions, a $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed price per share would increase (decrease) the incremental deferred tax asset and non-current liability that we would recognize if all of Continuing Company Units were exchanged, respectively, immediately following the completion of this offering by approximately

Table of Contents

$23.0 million and $94.1 million, respectively. Assuming no change in the other assumptions, if only 50% of Continuing Company Units were exchanged (rather than all), respectively, immediately following the completion of this offering we would recognize only 50% of the incremental deferred tax asset and non-current liability that we would recognize if all of Continuing Company Units were exchanged, respectively. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. The actual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities that we will recognize as a result of any such future exchanges will differ based on, among other things: (i) the amount and timing of future exchanges of Continuing Company Units, as applicable, and the extent to which such exchanges are taxable; (ii) the price per share of our Class A shares at the time of the exchanges; (iii) the amount and timing of future income against which to offset the tax benefits; and (iv) the tax rates then in effect.

Effective tax rate:

Adjustment to eliminate the historical tax expense (benefit) of Jaws and PCIH and to record the tax provisions of the combined entities on a pro forma basis using a pro forma effective tax rate of 7.77% for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was applied to the income attributable to the controlling interest as the income attributable to the non-controlling interest is pass-through income. However, the effective tax rate of Cano Health, Inc. could be different depending on post-Business Combination activities.

Under maximum redemption scenario the income tax benefit is $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

  i.

Adjustments for earnings per share included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020:

As a result of the Business Combination, both the pro forma basic and diluted number of shares are reflective of $166.3 million and $122.1 million of Class A shares outstanding assuming no redemptions and maximum redemption, respectively. The Seller’s Class B shares do not participate in the earnings or losses of Cano Health, Inc. and, therefore, are not participating securities. Given that the conversion of Class B shares results in no change to pro forma EPS on a diluted basis, the 305.7 million and 339.3 million of Class B shares are not included in the diluted number of shares, assuming no redemptions and maximum redemption, respectively.

Additionally, Warrants that are currently outstanding, such as the 33.5 million Warrants to purchase Class A shares in Cano Health, Inc. issued with the closing of Jaws’ Initial Public Offering, have been excluded as these instruments would be anti-dilutive to pro forma EPS.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth the historical comparative per share information of Jaws Acquisition Corp (“Jaws”), on a stand-alone basis and the unaudited pro forma combined per share information for the year ended December 31, 2020, after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions and maximum redemptions.

The pro forma earnings information for the year ended December 31, 2020 were computed as if the Business Combination and the Private Placement had been completed on January 1, 2020.

The information in the following table should be read in conjunction with the selected historical financial information summary included elsewhere in this proxy statement, and the historical financial statements of Jaws and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings LLC (“PCIH”) and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the period presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period.

The No Redemptions scenario assumes that no Jaws shareholders elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of the Closing is available for the Business Combination.

 

   

The Maximum Redemptions scenario assumes that Jaws shareholders redeem 44 million shares at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate payment of approximately $441.0 million of their Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination.

INFORMATION ABOUT JAWS

Overview

Jaws was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 27, 2019 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses or entities.

Jaws is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, Jaws is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Significant Activities Since Inception

As of December 31, 2020, Jaws had not commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2020 relates to the Jaws’ formation, the IPO, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Jaws will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. Jaws generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on May 13, 2020. On May 18, 2020, Jaws consummated the IPO of 69,000,000 units, including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 9,000,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Jaws consummated the sale of 10,533,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15,800,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $37,748,594, consisting of $12,900,000 of underwriting fees (including an aggregate amount of $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters for application towards Jaws’ offering expenses), $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $698,594 of other offering costs. In addition, at December 31, 2020, cash of $1,037,124 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the IPO on May 18, 2020, an amount of $690,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a Trust Account which will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by Jaws meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by Jaws, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

Jaws’ management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of private placement warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. So long as Jaws’ securities are then listed on the NYSE, the Company’s initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable on the income earned) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into a business combination. The Company will only complete a business combination if the post business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that Jaws will be able to complete the Business Combination successfully.

Table of Contents

Jaws will provide the holders of its issued and outstanding Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether Jaws will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by Jaws, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Jaws to pay income taxes). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions Jaws will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to Jaws’ warrants.

Jaws’ units began trading on May 1, 2020 on the NYSE under the symbol “JWS.U.” Commencing on July 2, 2020, the securities comprising the units began separate trading. The ordinary shares and warrants are trading on the NYSE under the symbols “JWS” and “JWS WS,” respectively.

Effecting a Business Combination

General

Jaws is not presently engaged in and Jaws will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until it completes the Business Combination with PCIH or another target business.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to NYSE listing rules, the target business or businesses that Jaws acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for Jaws’ initial business combination. The fair market value of the target or targets will be determined by the Jaws Board based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as discounted cash flow valuation or value of comparable businesses. Our shareholders will be relying on the business judgment of the Jaws Board, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of the target or targets, and different methods of valuation may vary greatly in outcome from one another. As discussed in the Section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test,” the Jaws Board determined that this test was met in connection with the Business Combination.

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination

Jaws is seeking shareholder approval of the Business Combination at the Shareholders Meeting to which this proxy statement/prospectus relates and, in connection with such meeting, holders of Public Shares may redeem their shares for cash in accordance with the procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Such Redemption Rights will be effected under the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Unlike other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their Class B ordinary shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and its directors and officers have agreed in the Sponsor Letter Agreement (i) to vote (a) the 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and Jaws’ independent directors and (b) any other ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor or Jaws’ directors and officers, in favor of the Business Combination; and (ii) to not redeem any Jaws Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination, or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity. If the Business Combination is not completed, then Public Shareholders electing to exercise their Redemption Rights will not receive such payments and their shares will not be redeemed.

 

259


Table of Contents

Jaws will proceed with a business combination if Jaws has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a business combination and, only if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a shareholder meeting, are voted in favor of the business combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and Jaws does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, Jaws will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a business combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or Jaws decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or reasons, Jaws will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If Jaws seeks shareholder approval in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed to vote their Class B ordinary shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a business combination.

Notwithstanding the above, if Jaws seeks shareholder approval of a business combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of Jaws.

Despite the net tangible asset condition and the Minimum Cash Condition, Jaws may be able to complete the Business Combination even if a majority of Jaws’ Public Shareholders do not agree with the Business Combination and have redeemed their shares or if Jaws has entered into privately negotiated agreements for investors to sell their shares to Jaws’ Sponsor, directors and officers, advisors or their affiliates.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Class B ordinary shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares.

Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws” for more information.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Jaws will have until May 18, 2022 to complete a business combination (the “Combination Period”). If Jaws has not completed a business combination within the Combination Period, Jaws will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Jaws to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Jaws’ remaining shareholders and Jaws’ board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to Jaws’ obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other

applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Jaws’ warrants, which will expire worthless if Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The amount in the Trust Account (less approximately $                representing the aggregate nominal par value of the Public Shares) under the Cayman Islands Companies Act will be treated as share premium which is distributable under the Cayman Islands Companies Act provided that immediately following the date on which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, Jaws is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. If Jaws is forced to liquidate the Trust Account, Jaws anticipates that it would distribute to its Public Shareholders the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, Jaws would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it by its creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over the Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. Jaws cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event Jaws enters an insolvent liquidation. Furthermore, while Jaws will seek to have vendors, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which it does business execute agreements with Jaws waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with Jaws, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Class B ordinary shares if Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if Jaws fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event Jaws does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per-share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per unit ($10.00).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, PCIH has agreed that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Jaws’ Trust Account held for its Public Shareholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any certain distributions therefrom) except, in each case with respect to claims that PCIH or its affiliates may have in the future against Jaws’ assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (other than distributions to Public Shareholders) and claims against any other person (or any affiliate thereof) that is party to an alternative business combination consummated by Jaws.

If Jaws is unable to complete the Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of Jaws’ IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account would be approximately $                    based on the value of the Trust Account as of                , 2021.

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Jaws’ creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Public Shareholders. Although Jaws has obtained and will continue to seek to have all vendors, including lenders for money borrowed, prospective target businesses or other entities Jaws engages execute agreements with Jaws waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from

 

261


Table of Contents

bringing claims against the Trust Account, including but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with a claim against Jaws’ assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to Jaws if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Jaws, or a prospective target business with which Jaws has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor to any claims under Jaws’ indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Jaws will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for Jaws’ independent registered public auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Jaws does business, execute agreements with Jaws waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Employees

We currently have two executive officers, Joseph Dowling and Michael Racich. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination.

We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Also, Barry Sternlicht, as chairman, will not have day-to-day control of our affairs and shall not be involved in our day-to-day operations.

Facilities

Jaws maintains its executive offices at Jaws Acquisition Corp., 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The cost for use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee Jaws pays to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services which will be paid through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or Jaws’ liquidation. Jaws considers its current office space adequate for its current operations. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of the Company will be located at 9725 NW 117th Avenue, Suite 200, Miami, FL 33178.

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against Jaws or any members of its management team in their capacity as such.

Number, Terms of Office and Election of Officers and Directors

The Jaws Board is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting) serving a three-year term. In accordance with the NYSE corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on the NYSE. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Ben Weprin, will expire at our first annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Michael Baldock and Douglas I. Ostrover, will expire at our second annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Barry S. Sternlicht, will expire at our third annual meeting of shareholders.

The Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for election to the Jaws Board, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.

Our officers are appointed by the Jaws Board and serve at the discretion of the Jaws Board, rather than for specific terms of office. The Jaws Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as it deems appropriate. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairmen of the board, chief executive officers, a president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the Jaws Board.

Director Independence

The NYSE listing standards require that a majority of the Jaws Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). The Jaws Board has determined that Douglas I. Ostrover, Michael Baldock and Benjamin Weprin are “independent directors” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of our executive officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the NYSE through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we have paid and will pay $10,000 per month to an affiliate of our sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us. In addition, our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates have been and will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that are made to our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside the Trust Account.

 

266


Table of Contents

Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the Jaws Board for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on the Jaws Board.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may remain directors or negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Jaws Board

The Jaws Board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

Audit Committee

The Jaws Board has an audit committee. Douglas I. Ostrover, Michel Baldock and Benjamin Weprin serve as members of the audit committee. Under the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain exceptions. Each of Douglas I. Ostrover, Michel Baldock and Benjamin Weprin is independent under the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Michael Baldock serves as the Chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE, and the Jaws Board has determined that Douglas I. Ostrover, Michel Baldock and Benjamin Weprin each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules. The primary purposes of our audit committee are to assist the Jaws Board’s oversight of:

 

   

the integrity of our financial statements;

 

   

our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

 

   

the qualifications, engagement, compensation, independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

   

our process relating to risk management and the conduct and systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; and

 

   

the performance of our internal audit function.

 

267

reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

The audit committee is governed by a charter that complies with the rules of the NYSE.

Compensation Committee

The Jaws Board has established a compensation committee. The members of our compensation committee are Douglas I. Ostrover, Michael Baldock and Benjamin Weprin, with Benjamin Weprin serving as chairman of the compensation committee. Under the NYSE listing standards, we are required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Douglas I. Ostrover, Michael Baldock and Benjamin Weprin are independent.

The primary purposes of our compensation committee are to assist the Jaws Board in overseeing our management compensation policies and practices, including:

 

   

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

 

   

reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

 

   

reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

 

   

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

268


Table of Contents
   

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

 

   

producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

 

   

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The compensation committee is governed by a charter that complies with the rules of the NYSE. This charter provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Jaws Board has established a nominating and corporate governance committee. The members of our nominating and corporate governance are Douglas I. Ostrover, Michael Baldock and Benjamin Weprin, with Douglas I. Ostrover serving as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Douglas I. Ostrover, Michael Baldock and Benjamin Weprin are independent.

The primary purposes of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be to assist the Jaws Board in:

 

   

identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors and recommending to the Jaws Board candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting or to fill vacancies on the Jaws Board;

 

   

developing, recommending to the Jaws Board and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;

 

   

coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the Jaws Board, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance of the company; and

 

   

reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is governed by a charter that complies with the rules of the NYSE.

Director Nominations

The Jaws Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting (or, if applicable, a special meeting). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Jaws Board should follow the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We have not formally established any specific minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, persons to be nominated:

 

   

should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

 

   

should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

 

269


Table of Contents
   

should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Jaws Board.

Code of Ethics

Jaws has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees.

Jaws has filed a copy of our Code of Ethics as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to our IPO. You will be able to review our Code of Ethics and the charters of the committees of the Jaws Board by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Jaws Board has adopted corporate governance guidelines in accordance with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE that serve as a flexible framework within which the Jaws Board and its committees operate. These guidelines cover a number of areas including board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, roles of the chairman of the board, chief executive officer and presiding director, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management and management succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines has been posted on the Jaws website.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF JAWS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Jaws prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of Jaws’ financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Jaws’ consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/ prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on December 27, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 13, 2020. On May 18, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 69,000,000 units, including 9,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $690.0 million, and incurring offering costs of $37,748,594, consisting of $12,900,000 of underwriting fees (including an aggregate amount of $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters for application toward our offering expenses), $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $698,594 of other offering costs. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated a private placement of 10,533,333 private placement warrants to the sponsor at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $15.8 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $690.0 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in the trust account and invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the trust account as described below. Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied toward identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

If we are unable to complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or May 18, 2022 (unless we submit and our shareholders approve an extension of such date), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes paid or payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the

 

271


Table of Contents

consummation of the initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

Proposed Business Combination

On November 11, 2020, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions contemplated therein, the “Business Combination”), by and among Jaws, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a newly formed Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Concurrently with the Business Combination, we will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Domestication”).

For additional information regarding the Business Combination, see the registration statement on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy statement and a preliminary prospectus of Jaws initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 25, 2021.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to December 31, 2020 were organizational activities, necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and after the IPO, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $2,869,977, which consisted of operating expenses of $3,176,907, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $306,930.

For the period from December 27, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $5,288, which consisted of formation and operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Jaws’ only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B ordinary shares by our Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On May 18, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 69,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 9,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $15,800,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $690,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $37,748,594 in transaction costs, including $12,900,000 of underwriting fees (including an aggregate amount of $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters for application towards our offering expenses), $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $698,594 of other offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1,153,781. Net loss of $2,869,977 was impacted by interest earned on investments of $306,930 and formation expenses paid by the Sponsor of $3,413. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $2,019,713 of cash from operating activities.

At December 31, 2020, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $690,192,093.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable (if applicable) and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete the Business Combination. To the extent that our shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete the Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-Business Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

At December 31, 2020, we had cash of $1,037,124 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating and consummating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a holding company with no material assets other than its interest in PCIH. See the risk factor entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws — The Company will be a holding company and its only material asset after completion of the Business Combination will be its interest in PCIH, and it is accordingly dependent upon distributions made by its subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement or pay dividends.

Related Party Transactions

Class B Ordinary Shares

On December 27, 2019, we issued one of our Class B ordinary shares to the sponsor for no consideration. On January 17, 2020, the sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of our offering costs in consideration of 11,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. On April 24, 2020, May 8, 2020 and May 13, 2020, we effected share capitalizations resulting in the sponsor holding an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares. In May 2020, the sponsor transferred 25,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of the independent directors on our board of directors. Of the 17,250,000 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020, the sponsor owned an aggregate of 17,175,000 Class B ordinary shares and the independent directors owned an aggregate of 75,000 Class B ordinary shares.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of a business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis. However, if additional Class A ordinary shares or any other equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by Jaws in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement warrants issued to the sponsor upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

The holders of the Class B ordinary shares agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (ii) the date on which Jaws completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial business combination that results in all of Jaws’ shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (except to certain permitted transferees). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial shareholders with respect to any Class B ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, the Class B ordinary shares will be released from the lock-up restrictions.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Jaws consummated the private placement of 10,533,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15.8 million. Each private placement warrants is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the trust account. If we do not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Related Parties Loans

The sponsor had agreed to loan us up to $300,000 (the “Note”) to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due on the earlier of

Table of Contents

December 31, 2020 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Jaws had borrowed $274,059 under the Note, which was fully repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 18, 2020.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a business combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Combination Agreement does not permit Working Capital Loans to convert into warrants. Except as set forth above, to date, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Administrative Service Fee

We agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of our consummation of a business combination or our liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, and secretarial and administrative services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred and paid $80,000 in fees for these services.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on May 18, 2020, the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Deferred Underwriting Fees

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $12,900,000, net of the $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters to us for expenses incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $24,150,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Controls and Procedures

We are not currently required to maintain an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be required to comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company would we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on internal

Table of Contents

control over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.

We intend to assess the internal controls of our target business or businesses prior to the completion of the Business Combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as we may determine are necessary in order to state that we maintain an effective system of internal controls. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls. Many small and mid-sized target businesses we may consider for our initial business combination may have internal controls that need improvement in areas such as:

 

   

staffing for financial, accounting and external reporting areas, including segregation of duties;

 

   

reconciliation of accounts;

 

   

proper recording of expenses and liabilities in the period to which they relate;

 

   

evidence of internal review and approval of accounting transactions;

 

   

documentation of processes, assumptions and conclusions underlying significant estimates; and

 

   

documentation of accounting policies and procedures.

Because it will take time, management involvement and perhaps outside resources to determine what internal control improvements are necessary for us to meet regulatory requirements and market expectations for our operation of a target business, we may incur significant expenses in meeting our public reporting responsibilities, particularly in the areas of designing, enhancing, or remediating internal and disclosure controls. Doing so effectively may also take longer than we expect, thus increasing our exposure to financial fraud or erroneous financing reporting.

Once our management’s report on internal controls is complete, we will retain our independent auditors to audit and render an opinion on such report when required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The independent auditors may identify additional issues concerning a target business’s internal controls while performing their audit of internal control over financial reporting.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants held in the trust account have been invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Off-balance Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and

 

276


Table of Contents

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods presented.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES

The following summary of certain provisions of the Company securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the proposed Bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the proposed Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation will authorize the issuance of                 shares, consisting of:

 

   

10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share;

 

   

            shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and

 

   

            shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Class A Common Stock

Upon completion of the Business Combination, we expect that there will be 166,250,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming that (i) no Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) none of the Class B common stock and PCIH Common Units are exchanged for Class A common stock. All shares of Class A common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. In connection with the Business Combination, the Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be converted into shares of Class A common stock of the Company.

Voting rights. Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Holders of Class A common stock will vote together with holders of Class B common stock as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class A common stock, as such, will have no voting power with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company Board out of funds legally available therefor.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets remaining after payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A common stock, then outstanding, if any.

Other rights. The holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class A common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the Preferred Stock the Company may issue in the future.

Class B Common Stock

Upon completion of the Business Combination, there will be 305,741,594 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, with PCIH holding any shares of Class B common stock in treasury that are not issued to the Seller. All shares of Class B common stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting rights. Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class B common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of the Company’s capital stock). Holders of shares of Class B common stock will vote together with holders of the Class A common stock as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class B common stock, as such, will have no voting power pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Dividend rights. The holders of the Class B common stock will not participate in any dividends declared by the Company Board.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any assets of the Company.

Other rights. The holders of shares of Class B common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class B common stock.

Issuance and Retirement of Class B common stock. In the event that any outstanding share of Class B common stock ceases to be held directly or indirectly by a holder of a PCIH Common Unit, such share will automatically be transferred to the Company and cancelled for no consideration. The Company will not issue additional shares of Class B common stock after the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation other than in connection with the valid issuance of PCIH Common Units in accordance with the governing documents of PCIH.

Preferred Stock

No shares of Preferred Stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the completion of the Business Combination. The Certificate of Incorporation will authorize the Company Board to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized shares of Preferred Stock will be available for issuance without further action by the holders of the Common Stock. The Company Board has the discretion to determine the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of Preferred Stock.

The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Additionally, the issuance of Preferred Stock may

 

280


Table of Contents

adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Class A common stock, diluting the voting power of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Class A common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of Preferred Stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Class A common stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any Preferred Stock.

Warrants

Public Shareholders’ Warrants

Each whole warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of one year from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase a multiple of three units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A common stock underlying such unit.

We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We will use our reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the

 

281


Table of Contents

Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants for Cash

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

 

   

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day before we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption of Warrants for Class A Common Stock

Commencing ninety days after the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

for a number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our Class A common stock except as otherwise described below;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The numbers in the table below represent the “redemption prices,” or the number of shares of Class A common stock that a warrant holder will receive upon redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock on the corresponding redemption date, determined based on the average of the last reported sales price for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below.

 

282


Table of Contents

The stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted as set forth in the first three paragraphs under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. The adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant.

The “fair market value” of our Class A common stock shall mean the average last reported sale price of our Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued for each warrant redeemed will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the average last reported sale price of our Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading date prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, we may choose to, pursuant to this redemption feature, redeem the warrants at a “redemption price” of 0.277 shares of Class A common stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the average last reported sale price of our Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading date prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, we may choose to, pursuant to this redemption feature, redeem the warrants at a “redemption price” of 0.298 Class A common stock for each whole warrant. Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are “out of the money” and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in

connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any Class A ordinary shares.

This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in other offerings by special purpose acquisition companies, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the Class A common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants (other than the private placement warrants) be redeemed when the Class A common stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our Class A common stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants for shares of Class A common stock, instead of cash, for “fair value” without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under the section entitled “— Redemption of Warrants for Cash.” Holders of the warrants will, in effect, receive a number of shares representing fair value for their warrants based on the “redemption price” as determined pursuant to the above table. We have calculated the “redemption prices” as set forth in the table above to reflect a premium in value as compared to the expected trading price that the warrants would be expected to trade. This redemption right provides us not only with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, in this case, for Class A common stock, and therefore have certainty as to (i) our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed and (ii) to the amount of cash provided by the exercise of the warrants and available to us, and also provides a ceiling to the theoretical value of the warrants as it locks in the “redemption prices” we would pay to warrant holders if we chose to redeem warrants in this manner. While we will effectively be required to pay a “premium” to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right, it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants for Class A common stock if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the premium to the warrant holders. In particular, it would allow us to quickly redeem the warrants for Class A common stock, without having to negotiate a redemption price with the warrant holders, which in some situations, may allow us to more quickly and easily close a business combination. And for this right, we are effectively agreeing to pay a premium to the warrant holders. In addition, the warrant holders will have the ability to exercise the warrants prior to redemption if they should choose to do so.

As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the Class A common stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with a premium (in the form of Class A common stock). If we choose to redeem the warrants when the Class A common stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer Class A common stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for Class A common stock if and when such Class A common stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

No fractional shares of Class A common stock will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the holder.

Redemption Procedures and Cashless Exercise

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our shareholders of issuing the maximum number of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the

 

284


Table of Contents

product of the number of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our Class A common stock over the exercise prices of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the private placement warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding Class A common stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A common stock on account of such Class A common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination or (d) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each Class A ordinary share in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A common

 

285


Table of Contents

stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the public warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants, 50% of the then outstanding private placement warrants. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement related to the Jaws IPO, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Class A common stock. After the issuance of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

 

286


Table of Contents

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions as described under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Sponsor Letter Agreement” to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Our Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants sold as part of the Units. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants included in the Units.

If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our Class A common stock over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor and permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public shareholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the Class A common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Combination Agreement does not permit such loans to convert into warrants.

Our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination, except that, among other limited exceptions as described under the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Sponsor Letter Agreement,” transfers can be made to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the sponsor.

Dividends

We did not declare any dividend in the past and the Company Board will consider whether or not to institute a divided policy in the future. The payment of future dividends on the shares of Class A common stock will depend on the financial condition of the Company after the completion of the Business Combination subject to the discretion of the Company Board.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company will be a holding company with no material assets other than its interest in PCIH. We intend to cause PCIH to make distributions to holders of PCIH Common Units in amounts sufficient to cover applicable taxes and other obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as well as any cash dividends declared by us.

The Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement will provide that pro rata cash distributions be made to holders of PCIH Common Units (including the Company) at certain assumed tax rates, which we refer to as “tax distributions.” See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.” The Company anticipates that the distributions it will receive from PCIH may, in certain periods, exceed the Company’s actual tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company Board, in its sole discretion, will make any determination from time to time with respect to the use of any such excess cash so accumulated, which may include, among other uses, to pay dividends on the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than any declared dividend) to its stockholders. We also expect, if necessary, to undertake ameliorative actions, which may include pro rata or non-pro rata reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or adjustments of outstanding PCIH Common Units, to maintain one-for-one parity between PCIH Common Units held by the Company and shares of Class A common stock of the Company. See the risk factor entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws — The Company will be a holding company and its only material asset after completion of the Business Combination will be its interest in PCIH, and it is accordingly dependent upon distributions made by its subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement or pay dividends.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, which are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce the Company’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of the Company Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A common stock. The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or Shareholders Meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Jaws — Delaware law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws will contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.”

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of NYSE, which would apply if and so long as the Class A common stock remains listed on

 

288


Table of Contents

NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the Company Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Election of Directors and Vacancies

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the Company Board will determine the number of directors who will serve on the board, subject to the rights set forth in the Investor Agreement. Upon adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company Board will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date. Class II and Class III directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There will be no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the Company Board.

In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that any vacancy on the Company Board, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, subject to the provisions of the Investor Agreement and any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock. For more information on the Investor Agreement, see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director will serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Company Board will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Business Combinations

The Company has elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

Quorum

The Bylaws will provide that at any meeting of the Company Board a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for all purposes.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting.

General Stockholder Meetings

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of a majority of Company Board.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Company Board or a committee of the Company Board. For any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide the Company with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (for the purposes of the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company following the adoption of the Bylaws, the date of the preceding annual meeting will be deemed to be                of the preceding calendar year). The Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions will not apply to the Stockholders (as defined in the Bylaws) so long as the Investor Agreement remains in effect. The Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

Supermajority Provisions

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws will provide that the Company Board is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation. Any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the Bylaws by the Company’s stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of the Company’s stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII and Article IX therein, including the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of the Company’s stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

 

   

the provision requiring a 66-2/3% supermajority vote for stockholders to amend the Bylaws;

 

   

the provisions providing for a classified Company Board (the election and term of directors);

 

   

the provisions regarding filling vacancies on the Company Board and newly created directorships;

 

   

the provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

 

   

the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

 

   

the provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

 

   

the provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director; and

 

   

the amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with an 66-2/3% supermajority vote.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Company Board and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the

 

290


Table of Contents

Company. These provisions are designed to reduce the Company’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for the Company’s shares and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

Exclusive Forum

The Bylaws will provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of or based on a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended or restated) or the Bylaws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Bylaws. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. However, it is possible that a court could find the Company’s forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Although the Company believes this provision benefits it by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and other employees.

Conflicts of Interest

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that the Company has in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Company’s officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that any non-employee director or any of his or her affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself or himself or herself or its or his or her

 

291


Table of Contents

affiliates or for the Company or its affiliates, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to the Company or any of its affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. The Certificate of Incorporation does not renounce the Company’s interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to, or acquired or developed by a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, (iii) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy, or (iv) is one presented to any account for the benefit of a member of the Company Board or such member’s affiliate over which such member of the Company Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on the Company’s behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company must indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. The Company believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. The Company believes that these provisions, liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of the Jaws’ or PCIH’s respective directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of (i) Jaws as of                    , 2021 (pre-Business Combination) and (ii) the Company immediately following the completion of the Business Combination (post-Business Combination), assuming No Redemptions, and alternatively that                Class A ordinary shares of Jaws are redeemed, by:

 

   

each person known by Jaws to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the shares of Jaws Shares or the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock upon completion of the Business Combination;

 

   

each of Jaws’ officers and directors;

 

   

each person who will become an officer or is nominated to become a director of the Company upon completion of the Business Combination; and

 

   

all officers and directors of the Company as a group prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of the shares of Jaws pre-Business Combination is based on 86,250,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following completion of the Business Combination has been determined based on the following assumptions: (i) there will be an aggregate of 86,250,000 ordinary shares of Jaws (including Class B ordinary shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination, which shares will have been converted into shares of Class A common stock of the Company upon completion of the Business Combination, (ii) an aggregate of 80,000,000 shares of Class A common stock will have been issued to the PIPE Investors, (iii) approximately 305,741,594 shares of PCIH Common Units and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock will have been issued to the Seller upon the consummation of the Business Combination and (vi) each of the other assumptions set forth under the section entitled “Frequently Used Terms  Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages.”

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following entities or individuals is Jaws Acquisition Corp., 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800, Miami Beach, FL 33139.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

PCIH Related Person Transactions

Advisory Services Agreement

In December 2016, PCIH and InTandem Capital Partners, LLC, or InTandem Capital Partners, entered into an advisory services agreement whereby InTandem Capital Partners provides financial, management consulting and other operational services to PCIH. Elliot Cooperstone, who is expected to serve as a director of the Company following the Business Combination, is the Founder and Managing Partner of InTandem Capital Partners. InTandem Capital Partners is entitled to an annual fee equal to the greater of $0.3 million or 2% of EBITDA for the prior calendar year plus out-of-pocket expenses. Upon the completion of an acquisition by PCIH, an advisory fee of 2% of the enterprise value of such transaction will be due to InTandem Capital Partners. The advisory services agreement will terminate upon the consummation of the Business Combination or a material breach by InTandem Capital Partners of any of its obligations under the agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, PCIH incurred approximately $5.4 million in expenses pursuant to the advisory services agreement, approximately $0.9 million in management fees and approximately $0.1 million in other fees.

Administrative Service Agreement

On April 23, 2018, PCIH entered into a new Administrative Services Agreement with Dental Excellence Partners, LLC a dental group comprised of four consolidated dental practices. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, Dental Excellence Partners, LLC licensed the trademark to the name Cano Dental from the Company. PCIH received a fixed monthly administrative fee amount per office for providing comprehensive management and related administrative services to the dental practices. During April 2019, PCIH entered into an amendment to this agreement and modified the administrative fee. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, PCIH recognized income from these amendments of approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and was recorded within the caption fee-for-service and other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020 no balance was due to PCIH in relation to these agreements, and as of December 31, 2019, approximately $0.3 million was due and recorded in the caption accounts receivable.

As part of this agreement, PCIH agreed to have Dental Excellence Partners, LLC provide dental services for managed care members of PCIH. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, PCIH was charged approximately $2.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively for these services. As of December 31, 2020 no balance was due in relation to these services to Dental Excellence Partners, LLC and as of December 31, 2019 $0.1 million was due and recorded in the caption accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. PCIH holds no ownership interest in Dental Excellence Partners. Dental Excellence Partners, LLC is a dental provider contracted with the company to provide services to PCIH’s members (in certain of PCIH’s locations) unlike PCIH’s independent physician and group practice affiliates, that provide services to members in their locations. Dental Excellence Partners is paid a per member per month fee for services and does not share in shared savings unlike PCIH’s independent physician and group practice affiliates.

General Contractor Agreements

As of December 31, 2020, PCIH has entered into various general contractor agreements with Cano Builders USA Inc., an entity that is controlled by a family member of Dr. Marlow Hernandez, who is expected to serve as an executive officer and a director of the Company following the Business Combination, to perform leasehold improvements at various of PCIH’s locations as well as various repairs and related maintenance as deemed necessary.

Jaws Related Person Transactions

Class B Ordinary Shares

On December 27, 2019, Jaws issued one of its Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for no consideration. On January 17, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of Jaws in consideration of 11,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. On April 24, 2020 and May 8, 2020 and May 13, 2020, Jaws effected share capitalizations resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 17,250,000 Class B ordinary shares. In May 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of the independent directors on the Jaws Board. Of the 17,250,000 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020, the Sponsor owned an aggregate of 17,175,000 Class B ordinary shares and the independent directors owned an aggregate of 75,000 Class B ordinary shares.

Under the Existing Organizational Documents, the Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of a business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis. However, if additional Class A ordinary shares or any other equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by Jaws in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

The holders of the Class B ordinary shares agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (ii) the date on which Jaws completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial business combination that results in all of Jaws’ shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (except to certain permitted transferees). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Shareholders with respect to any Class B ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, the Class B ordinary shares will be released from the lock-up restrictions.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Jaws consummated the private placement of 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15.8 million. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If Jaws does not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Related Parties Loans

The Sponsor had agreed to loan Jaws up to $300,000 (the “Note”) to be used for the payment of costs related to the IPO. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the closing of the IPO. Jaws had borrowed $274,059 under the Note, which was fully repaid upon the closing of the IPO on May 18, 2020.

Table of Contents

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of Jaws’ officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Jaws funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If Jaws completes a business combination, it would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to Jaws. In the event that a business combination does not close, Jaws may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Combination Agreement does not permit Working Capital Loans to convert into warrants. Except as set forth above, to date, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Administrative Service Fee

Jaws agreed, commencing on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of Jaws’ consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, and secretarial and administrative services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Jaws incurred and paid $80,000 in fees for these services.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on May 18, 2020 (the “Original Registration Rights Agreement”), the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Original Registration Rights Agreement will terminate upon the execution of the Investor Agreement. (See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Agreement”).

Post-Business Combination Arrangements

In connection with the Business Combination, certain agreements were entered into or will be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The agreements described in this section, or forms of such agreements as they will be in effect substantially concurrently with the completion of the Business Combination, are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the following descriptions are qualified by reference thereto. These agreements include:

For more information, see the section entitled “Management of the Company Following the Business Combination — Related Person Policy of the Company.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, the Charter will provide that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of Jaws’ or PCIH’s respective directors or officers to which indemnification is being sought, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

We are a primary care-centric, technology-powered healthcare delivery and population health management platform designed with a focus on clinical excellence. Our mission is simple: to improve patient health by delivering superior primary care medical services while forging life-long bonds with our members. Our vision is clear: to become the national leader in primary care by improving the health, wellness and quality of life of the communities we serve while reducing healthcare costs.

We are one of the largest independent primary care physician groups in the United States. We utilize our technology-powered, value-based care delivery platform to provide care for our approximately 106,000 members across 14 markets, through our 222 employed providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) and 398 clinical support employees at our 71 owned medical centers and relationships with over 500 affiliate providers, as of December 31, 2020. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health—Key Performance Metrics” for how we define our members and medical centers. We predominantly enter into capitated contracts with the nation’s largest health plans to provide holistic, comprehensive healthcare. We predominantly recognize recurring per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. We also provide practice management and administrative support services to independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization relationships, which we refer to as our affiliate relationships. Our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care rather than driving a high volume of services. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients alike—the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, is a critical enabler of our efforts to deliver superior clinical care.

Founded in 2009 by Dr. Marlow Hernandez to address an unmet need for quality care in his hometown community, we provide access to high-quality care to primarily underserved and dual-eligible populations, many of whom live in economically disadvantaged and minority communities, thereby contributing to the revitalization of these communities. We have rapidly expanded to become a nationally-recognized, multi-state provider that is focused on Medicare-eligible beneficiaries where we can have the greatest positive impact on our members and for our payers.

We operate in the $800 billion Medicare market, which is growing at 8% annually, with a focus on the $270 billion Medicare Advantage market, which is growing at 14% annually and is supported by robust industry tailwinds. For instance, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, over 10,000 seniors age into Medicare every day, resulting in an increase of approximately $1 billion in our total addressable market each week. Within Medicare, Medicare Advantage penetration is projected to grow from 34% of the market for Medicare in 2020 to 50% in 2025 and enjoys broad bipartisan political support. Within the Medicare market, we focus almost exclusively on value-based care payment models, which has potential market growth of greater than 30% annually. There has been a rapid shift toward value-based care within Medicare, as value-based care aligns incentives of providers, payers and patients, drives better care and superior patient experiences and allows providers to achieve profitability by improving member health outcomes. Despite this shift, only a few providers are currently able to effectively and efficiently supply this demand, and we are one of the leading value-based care providers in the nation.

Our Strengths

Putting members first: We focus on a Medicare-eligible population, which generally has consistent and clinically-cohesive needs and which we believe represents a population base where we can have the greatest positive impact while improving member outcomes. Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score, or NPS, which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction. Within the Medicare population that we serve, a majority are dual-eligible (i.e., eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid)—a complex population that accounts for a disproportionate amount of healthcare spending and is challenging to manage due to physical, behavioral and social issues that impact health. It is with this population, who traditionally lacks access to high-quality primary care and preventive services, where we have the greatest impact by creating customized care plans that directly address healthcare needs.

Our proprietary care management platform: CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, enables us to deliver superior clinical care. Our platform provides the healthcare providers at our medical centers with a 360-degree view of their members along with actionable insights to empower better care decisions and drive high member engagement. We leverage our technology to risk-stratify members and apply a highly personalized approach to primary care, chronic care, preventive care and members’ broader healthcare needs.

Clinical excellence: While our members tend to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, they have better outcomes as evidenced by lower mortality rates (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%, which represents a 45% improvement), fewer hospital stays (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370, which represents a 57% improvement) and fewer emergency room visits (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091, which represents a 59% improvement). In 2019, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, or HEDIS, quality score for our members, a tool used by health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service, was 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06.

Strong payer relationships: We predominantly enter into capitated contracts with the nation’s largest payers (including health plans and CMS) to provide holistic, comprehensive healthcare. We predominantly recognize defined per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS. Our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care rather than driving a high volume of services. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients—the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. Moreover, due to the clinical outcomes that we have achieved, we have been ranked as the top provider in our markets by multiple health plans. We have developed a special relationship with Humana Inc., or Humana, a market leader among Medicare Advantage plans. We are both the largest and highest quality provider for Humana in Florida, its largest Medicare Advantage market, serving more than 57,000 Humana members. We are working with Humana to replicate our successful outcomes in other markets and have recently entered into expansion agreements with them which provides a roadmap to opening up to 50 new Humana-funded medical centers in the southwestern U.S. by 2024.

Multi-pronged growth strategy: We have experienced strong growth through our flexible, multi-pronged strategy in both new and existing markets. We have a proven track record of organic growth, having consistently grown membership approximately 40% organically annually between 2017 and 2020. We have successfully developed de novo medical centers, including 16 medical centers in the 24 months ending December 30, 2020. Organic growth has been further fueled by the selective conversion of our best-performing affiliates into Cano owned medical centers, and the purchase of locally adjacent practices that lead to new members and facilities. To date, purchases of these adjacent practices have been immaterial to our overall revenues and growth rates. This growth has been complemented by significant, highly accretive acquisitions that have enabled us to scale into

new markets and build density in existing markets. Finally, direct contracting, a new delivery model in which CMS contracts directly with providers, represents a significant potential increase in the size of the value-based Medicare market.

Strong history of financial performance: We have experienced strong growth since completing our recapitalization in December 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had total revenue of $829.4 million. From 2019 to 2020, our total revenue grew 127.6%.

Significant Challenges Face the Healthcare System Today

The healthcare system in the U.S. today faces many challenges. The U.S. spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country in the world, but its health outcomes are no better and, in many cases, worse than other comparable nations. The current U.S. healthcare model has significant shortcomings, with poor primary care access and experience, a lack of longitudinal engagement and care coordination for patients, poor use of data to effectively drive decision-making and physicians incentivized to provide higher quantities of procedures over quality of care. The U.S. suffers from lower relative spending on primary care, with approximately 6% of U.S. healthcare spending on primary care compared to an average of approximately 14% across the 37 member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD. The result is inferior health outcomes, with preventive health services used at approximately 55% of the recommended rate, 18 million avoidable visits to U.S. emergency rooms each year, 28% of Americans with two or more chronic conditions compared to an 18% OECD average and an estimated $850 billion of wasted healthcare spending annually. Moreover, physician satisfaction with the current healthcare model is low. For example, 63% of referring physicians are dissatisfied with the referral process and 70% of specialists rate background information from referrals as fair or poor.

We believe that primary care is uniquely positioned to address these healthcare challenges. By sitting at the top of the funnel, primary care directly influences over $2 trillion of downstream annual healthcare spending in the United States. For context, an average primary care physician, or PCP, directly generates only $500,000 of annual healthcare revenue, but influences $10 million of annual spending in the broader healthcare ecosystem.

Despite this very actionable opportunity to improve the healthcare ecosystem, the majority of PCP groups are not equipped to use their unique positioning to drive better health outcomes. The majority of the PCP landscape is made up of solo practitioners, small physician groups and independent practice associations that have limited ability to invest in technology, preventive medicine and population health management strategies to proactively manage risk and improve care coordination.

We Deliver Value-Based Primary Care to the Fastest Growing Market in Healthcare

While seniors have an option to select original fee-for-service Medicare, Medicare beneficiaries also have the option to receive enhanced Medicare benefits through private health plans via Medicare Advantage. In Medicare Advantage, CMS pays health plans a monthly sum per member to manage all health expenses of a participating member. This provides the health plans with an incentive to deliver lower-cost, high-quality care. Health plans in turn are incentivized to contract with provider groups that deliver superior patient outcomes and satisfaction levels to their members.

We believe that the traditional fee-for-service model does not optimally incentivize physicians—it incentivizes volume rather than quality, as physicians are paid solely based on the amount of healthcare services they deliver. This leads to less focus on preventive care and care coordination, which often results in inferior long-term health outcomes and ultimately higher healthcare costs for both payers and patients. Value-based care refers to the goal of incentivizing healthcare providers to simultaneously increase quality while lowering the cost of care. Value-based care is viewed by many as a superior payer model, as it aligns the incentives of (i) providers, (ii) payers, and (iii) patients, and drives better care and superior patient experiences. In a value-

 

303

based care model, providers are able to achieve higher profitability by improving long-term member health outcomes.

As a result, there is a significant shift in Medicare today, from the traditional payment model to value-based care. Medicare Advantage is the fastest growing market in the healthcare industry serving seniors, due in part to an aging population and accelerated healthcare spend. According to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, 10,000 seniors age into Medicare every day, increasing annual Medicare spending of $800 billion in 2019 to a projected $1,250 billion by 2025. Within Medicare, Medicare Advantage penetration is projected to grow from 34% in 2020 to 50% by 2025 at a compounded annual growth rate of 14%. Of the approximately 24.1 million beneficiaries in Medicare Advantage today, only an estimated 30% are currently enrolled in value-based care models, but this percentage is rapidly increasing, and is expected to experience greater than 30% annual growth.

The shift toward Medicare Advantage is driven by enhanced plan benefits and the superior cost-efficiency and quality offered relative to original fee-for-service Medicare. Because of increasing evidence that Medicare Advantage delivers better quality and cost outcomes relative to original fee-for-service Medicare, Medicare Advantage has broad bipartisan political support.

While CMS and Medicare Advantage plans seek value-based care providers to deliver care, few providers are able to effectively and efficiently supply this demand. We focus on capitated contracts where we can make the greatest impact. Our value-based model is predominantly driven by contractual arrangements with payers in which we recognize recurring per member per month capitated revenue. These payers include CMS and managed care organizations like Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Aetna (or their respective affiliates) and others contracted by CMS. In return, we are generally responsible for all of the healthcare costs of those members incurred at our primary care locations in addition to all third-party medical expenses (hospital visits, specialist services, surgical services, prescription drug costs, etc.). Given our history with capitated contracts, we have highly predictable member economics with respect to medical costs. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients—the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time. Ultimately, we aim to keep our members healthy and eliminate waste of healthcare resources while delivering higher quality care with meaningfully differentiated results, all while sustaining very high member loyalty scores.

Well Positioned to Expand Care to Medicare-Eligible Beneficiaries in Underserved Communities

Our ten years of experience providing care in communities that suffer from poor access to primary care, low quality care and high amounts of unnecessary spending on healthcare position us well to expand into similar new markets. A majority of our members are dual-eligible, qualifying for both Medicare and Medicaid. These members tend to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, and often previously had limited access to quality healthcare.

Our value-based care can make the biggest difference when brought into these underserved communities who need it the most. We are consistently able to serve low-income communities efficiently and are among the only scaled primary care groups making an impact in these communities, with a successful track record across multiple markets. Many people in these communities have very limited or no access to quality healthcare. We have added medical centers in economically depressed communities, contributing to their revitalization.

Many seniors choose Medicare Advantage because it offers superior benefits to members at lower overall cost to them. Value-based Medicare contracts (such as Medicare Advantage and new direct contracting programs by CMS) are therefore well suited to fixed-income seniors who cannot afford to incur the cost of either 20% co-payments required with fee-for-service Medicare or supplemental insurance coverage to cover such co-payments and certain other benefits that promote access to care and quality of care.

10+ Year History of Growth Becoming a National Platform

We were founded in 2009 by our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Marlow Hernandez, at the height of the Great Recession, to address the unmet need for high-quality, patient-centric care in his home community of Pembroke Pines, Florida. Since then, we have evolved into a national platform in response to strong patient, physician and payer demand. Our physician-led management team has been responsible for our success and remains committed to our vision to be the nation’s preeminent value-based primary care provider.

In 2016, we entered into a relationship with InTandem Capital Partners to provide financial support and guidance to fund platform investments and accelerate our growth. We have subsequently expanded our services from 2 markets in 2017 to 14 markets as of December 31, 2020, while growing membership from 13,685 members in 2017 to approximately 106,000 members as of December 31, 2020. Today, we are one of the largest and most sophisticated independent primary care platforms in the U.S., but still maintain significant growth runway. For context, in Florida, we maintain an approximately 2.9% share of the Medicare Advantage market and an approximately 1.4% share of the Medicare market as a whole and are rapidly expanding across multiple new markets.

The map below illustrates our current and near-term markets, and states which we have identified for potential future expansion. Our future expansion states share important factors with our current markets, including (i) Medicare population density, (ii) underserved demographics, (iii) existing payer relationships, (iv) patient acuity and (v) specialist and hospital access/capacity. We do not currently have definitive agreements in place to begin operating in any of the states we have identified for future expansion. we will likely need to raise additional capital to expand into these states.

Services Built Around Principles

We were established to offer high-quality, patient-centric primary care services that reduce costs for both healthcare payers and patients. We partner with healthcare payers, including health plans and the federal government, primarily under capitated contracts to manage all of the healthcare needs of our members. Our success is driven by a relentless focus on the “quadruple goal” of delivering low cost and high-quality care, with a great patient experience, all while developing lifelong bonds with members.

To meet the great challenge facing the healthcare system today and achieve the “quadruple goal,” we follow the following key principles:

 

   

Patient-Centered: We put members first. We show empathy and treat members like family. Every Cano Health associate takes responsibility for delivering first-class services.

 

   

Service-Focused: We show initiative at every opportunity and form enduring relationships with our members and our colleagues.

 

   

Results-Oriented: We are obsessive about clinical outcomes and collaborate to succeed as a team.

 

   

Trustworthy & Transparent: We always strive to do the right thing – ethically, legally and professionally.

 

   

Continuously Improving: We are persistent in our pursuit of excellence.

Our Approach

We are entering a new era in healthcare services where value-based care is delivered through an integrated model, which itself becomes a powerful differentiator. We believe that individualization, care coordination, analytics and risk management produce the best healthcare outcomes and results. With this in mind, we believe that we can simultaneously deliver value to patients, providers and payers.

 

   

Patients: Our members are offered services in modern, clean, contemporary medical centers, with same or next day appointments, integrated virtual care, wellness services, ancillary services (such as physiotherapy), home services, transportation, telemedicine and a 24/7 urgency line, all without additional cost to them. This broad-based care model is critical to our success in delivering care to members of low-income communities, including large minority and immigrant populations, with complex care needs, many of whom previously had very limited or no access to quality healthcare. We are proud of the impact we have made in these underserved communities.

 

   

Providers: We believe that providers want to be clinicians. Our employed physicians enjoy a collegial, near-academic environment and the tools and multi-disciplinary support they need to focus on medicine, their patients and their families rather than administrative matters like pre-authorizations, referrals, billing and coding. Our physicians receive ongoing training through regular clinical meetings to review the latest findings in primary care medicine. Furthermore, we offer above-average pay and no hospital call requirements. In addition, our physicians are eligible to receive a bonus based upon patient results, including reductions in patient emergency room visits and hospital admissions, among other metrics.

 

   

Payers: Payers want three things: high-quality care, membership growth and effective medical cost management. We have a multi-year and multi-geography track record of delivering on all three. Our proven track record of high-quality ratings increases the premiums paid by CMS to health plans, our quality primary-care-driven membership growth, and our scaled, highly professional value-based provider group can deliver quality care.

The Cano Health Care Delivery Platform

The key attributes of the Cano Health care delivery platform are:

CanoPanorama: To turn our principles into results that benefit our members, providers and the healthcare system as a whole, we have created a proprietary and scalable population health management platform known as CanoPanorama. Typically, information across the health system is fragmented and providers lack the resources or skills to get a complete picture regarding a patient. CanoPanorama is designed to solve this issue. It is a purpose-built population health management platform that provides analytics, reports and protocols that inform key care management activities by our employees and physicians. Through CanoPanorama, we have developed processes designed to ensure members receive the right care and physicians receive the right support by utilizing dynamic risk stratification and driving proactive member engagement. CanoPanorama efficiently integrates all member data into one consolidated and centralized repository. The population health management platform digests and produces information in a uniform way, providing reports and unique and personalized analytics that cover every aspect of patient care. Using CanoPanorama, we are able to generate a 360-degree view of our members, which empowers providers to make better care decisions and reduce gaps in care. Importantly, this allows providers to maintain health, not just treat disease.

Clinical excellence: While our members tend on average to be sicker than the average Medicare patient, they have better outcomes as evidenced by lower mortality rates (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%, which represents a 45% improvement), fewer hospital stays (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31”, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370, which represents a 57% improvement) and fewer emergency room visits (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091, which represents a 59% improvement). In 2019, the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, or HEDIS, quality score for our members, a tool used by health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service, was 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06.

Patient focus: We focus on a Medicare-eligible population, particularly through the Medicare Advantage program. This population generally has consistent clinically-cohesive needs which, if properly managed, represents the greatest potential for improved health outcomes. Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score, or NPS, which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction. In addition to quality medical services and care management programs, we also provide members with social services to keep them active and engaged with others. Dental services and pharmacy delivery are available in many locations.

Relationships with leading health plans: We have established strong relationships with numerous health plans and are an essential component of their provider network. We are capable of delivering membership growth, clinical quality and medical cost management based on our care coordination strategy, differentiated quality metrics and strong relationships with members. We have established ourselves as a top-quality provider across multiple Medicare and Medicaid health plans including Humana, Anthem, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (or their respective affiliates). These plans and others are seeking further opportunities to expand their relationship with us beyond our current markets.

CanoPanorama, Our Proprietary and Scalable Population Health Management Platform

The backbone of our value-based care delivery platform is CanoPanorama, our purpose-built population health management system that provides analytics, reports, and protocols that inform key care management activities by our clinical and non-clinical employees and affiliate physicians. Through CanoPanorama, we have developed processes designed to ensure members receive the right care and physicians receive the right support by acting on dynamic risk stratification and proactive member engagement.

 

307


Table of Contents

Our technology-powered model provides the healthcare providers at our medical centers with a 360-degree view of our members along with actionable insights to empower better care decisions and high member engagement. Using CanoPanorama at the time of member enrollment, we are able to identify different patient risk levels, which allows our primary care providers to design and establish more efficient and effective personalized care plans for our members. Following enrollment, CanoPanorama continues to collect data on members from multiple sources and allows our providers to proactively and dynamically deliver individualized care based on changes in the member’s health, all the while allowing us to create targeted campaigns for high-risk members. This allows us to risk stratify our members and apply a highly personalized approach to primary care, chronic care, preventive care and each member’s broader healthcare needs.

CanoPanorama efficiently integrates data from our electronic medical records, care management systems and payer partners into one consolidated and centralized repository. The population health management platform digests and produces information in a uniform way, providing reports and unique and personalized analytics. The system is designed to cover the entire patient care experience in and outside of our medical center locations and efficiently allows for end-to-end care coordination. For example, CanoPanorama can use social determinants of health to inform care coordination, support the 24/7 urgency line by routing data to other parts of the company, generate action based on algorithms that push alerts to trigger a visit from our service or home delivery of medication with protocols in place designed to ensure medication compliance, utilize data to encourage participation in our wellness program, Cano Life, and route alerts for hospital visits through connectivity with the hospital information exchange. These alerts allow our care managers to intervene immediately to work on discharge protocols as well as transitions of care.

Our clinical team develops a care plan for each member that takes into account their risk factors, health conditions and social determinants of health. Low-risk members receive a care plan that focuses on preventive and wellness activities. Medium and high-risk members receive targeted care plans that are customized to address their health needs.

The CanoPanorama system also enables us to establish rigorous measurement protocols across our company measuring everything from clinical results and member outcomes, to employee satisfaction, to transportation services and member satisfaction. The most important of these measures are included in the key performance indicator reports regularly monitored by our senior management team. This system enables us to take aggressive action where a score misses its objective target creating a cycle of continuous improvement. CanoPanorama also provides value to our employees and physicians by enabling efficient onboarding of employees, and offers support to physicians to optimize quality and utilization. Accordingly, CanoPanorama represents a consistent feedback loop that is constantly improving value to all stakeholders.

We Deliver Superior Clinical Results and Patient Satisfaction

We provide personalized care to each member by focusing on wellness and preventive care, care coordination and social determinants of health. Where acute care is needed, we ensure that we deliver the right

care, in the right setting, at the right time. As described earlier, this is supported by our proprietary population health management platform, CanoPanorama, and our modern medical centers, through which we deliver superior clinical results. In 2019, our members received a HEDIS quality score of 4.7 out of 5.0, as compared to the national average of 4.06. HEDIS is a national survey that provides a comprehensive set of standardized performance measures designed to provide purchasers and consumers with the information they need for reliable comparison of health plan performance. HEDIS measures relate to many significant public health issues, such as cancer, heart disease, smoking, asthma and diabetes. Given our average Medicare member age of 73 and the socioeconomic demographic of our member population, we are especially proud of this achievement.

Our reimagined approach to caring for a patient population with a high prevalence of chronic conditions driven by our purpose-built CanoPanorama technology-powered platform has resulted in superior clinical outcomes. Examples of our clinical results among our members include:

 

   

45% lower mortality rate as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark mortality rate (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%)

 

   

57% lower hospital admits per thousand as compared to the Medicare national average benchmark (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370)

 

   

59% lower ER visits per thousand as compared to the Medicare national average benchmark (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091)

 

   

27% better than 5-star National Committee for Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) benchmark in diabetes treatment

 

   

14% better than 5-star NCQA benchmark in controlling high blood pressure

Our approach also delivers high member satisfaction. Our members enjoy highly personalized value-based care and their visits to our medical centers cover primary care and ancillary programs such as pharmacy and dental services, in addition to wellness and social services, which lead to healthier and happier members. By integrating member engagement and the Cano Life wellness program within the CanoPanorama platform, we also help foster long-term relationships with members. Resulting word-of-mouth referrals contribute to our high organic growth rates.

Patient satisfaction can be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction.

Long-Standing Relationships and Preferred Provider with Leading Health Plans

We have established strong relationships with numerous health plans and are an essential component of their provider networks. In an industry shifting to value-based care, we are a sophisticated and proven solution of scale within a highly fragmented market. Health plans look to achieve three goals when partnering with a provider: membership growth, clinical quality and medical cost management. We are capable of delivering all three based on our care coordination strategy, differentiated quality metrics and strong relationships with members. We have established ourselves as a top-quality provider across multiple Medicare and Medicaid health plans including Humana, Anthem, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (or their respective affiliates), and these plans and others are seeking further opportunities to expand their relationship with us beyond our current markets.

We contract with health plans for globally capitated contracts. Under these contracts, we generally recognize a pre-negotiated percentage of the monthly premium health plans receive from CMS for each managed member. Payers are accelerating adoption of this model because it allows them to lock in a predictable and stable margin and pass off the associated risk of membership healthcare expenses to the provider. Moreover, partnering with sophisticated, scaled and high-quality providers like us allows health plans to achieve greater market share and higher quality scores, which are financially rewarded by CMS. Our relationships with our payer partners go back as many as ten years and are generally evergreen in nature. We are viewed as a critical distributer of effective healthcare with market-leading clinical outcomes (led by primary care), and as such we believe our payer relationships will continue to be enduring.

In particular, we are an important partner for Humana, a market leader among Medicare Advantage plans. In Florida, Humana’s largest Medicare Advantage market, we are Humana’s largest and highest quality primary care provider serving approximately 57,000 Humana members. Humana has indicated a strong desire to partner with sophisticated primary care providers in its other core markets, but in most of those markets, there is a scarcity of primary care providers that have our capabilities. Seeking a best-in-class, value-based provider partner to enhance its member retention, quality, margins and growth, Humana has entered into agreements with us that provide a roadmap to our opening up to 50 Humana-funded medical centers from 2020 to 2024. In 2020, pursuant to our expansion agreements with Humana, we opened four medical centers in San Antonio, Texas and three medical centers in Las Vegas, Nevada. Between 2021 and 2024, we intend to work with Humana to open additional medical centers in other cities across the southwestern U.S. Humana has been granted a right of first refusal on any sale, lease, license or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of assets, businesses, divisions or subsidiaries that constitute 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of, or any equity transaction (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, exchange offer, spin-off, split-off, reorganization or sale of securities) that results in a change of control of, PCIH, Seller, or the Company or its subsidiary, HP MSO, LLC.

Our Multi-Pronged Growth Strategy

Our flexible, multi-pronged development strategy in both existing and new markets is designed to promote rapid growth primarily through (i) ongoing organic growth in current markets, (ii) continued expansion into new markets across the nation, (iii) execution of our accretive acquisition strategy and (iv) our direct contracting opportunity.

We have demonstrated consistent organic membership growth of approximately 40% annually between 2017 and 2020. Organic growth is driven by increasing capacity at existing medical centers, ramping new de novo medical centers, consolidating the best performing of our existing affiliates, and acquiring small nearby

practices whose patients and facilities are blended with our nearby owned medical centers. Our existing medical centers in South Florida currently operate at approximately 50% of capacity, providing us with the ability to significantly increase our membership without the need for significant capital expenditures. In medical centers that are approaching full capacity, we are able to augment our footprint by expanding our existing medical centers, and by opening de novo centers or acquiring centers that are a more convenient “medical home” for our members. Importantly, we are able to leverage our affiliate providers to enhance growth in a very capital-efficient manner by acquiring the best-performing affiliates and adding these providers to new or existing medical centers. We are planning to build approximately 15 to 20 de novo medical centers annually. We have historically successfully developed de novo medical centers, including 16 medical centers in the 24 months ending December 31, 2020. With our proven ability to leverage existing infrastructure and ramp up new medical centers quickly, our historical average time to breakeven for de novo centers that have achieved profitability to date has been four to six months.

Continued Expansion into New Markets

We have successfully entered into 12 new markets since 2017 and as of December 31, 2020 are operating in 14 markets in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico. When entering a new market, we tailor our entry strategy based on the characteristics of the specific market and provide a customized solution to meet that market’s needs. When choosing a market to enter, we look at various factors, including (i) Medicare population density, (ii) underserved demographics, (iii) existing payer relationships, (iv) patient acuity and (v) specialist and hospital access/capacity. We typically choose a location that is highly visible and accessible and then work to enhance brand development pre-entry. Our flexible medical center design allows us to adjust to local market needs by building medical centers that generally range from 7,000 to 20,000 square feet that may include ancillary services such as pharmacies and dental services. We seek to grow member engagement through targeted multi-channel marketing, community outreach and use of mobile clinics to expand our reach. When entering a new market, based on its characteristics and economics, we decide whether it makes most sense to buy existing medical centers, build de novo medical centers or to help manage members’ healthcare via affiliate providers. This highly flexible model enables us to choose the right solution for each market.

Execute on Accretive Acquisitions

We supplement our organic growth through our highly accretive acquisition strategy, which allows us to enter new markets, and extend our services. We have a successful acquisition and integration track record. For additional information regarding certain of our recent acquisitions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cano Health — Significant Acquisitions.” We have established a rigorous data-driven approach and the necessary infrastructure to identify, acquire and quickly integrate targets. We have a pipeline of more than 100 acquisition targets and dedicated teams assigned to sourcing and integrating acquisitions. We not only integrate the new medical centers into our population health management system, CanoPanorama, but also invest in marketing, technology and operations for our acquired medical centers, which helps increase enrollment, improve documentation and coding and drive efficient workflows. We have also developed detailed processes and maintain dedicated teams for managing acquisition and integration activities. Our historical experience highlights our proven track record of fully integrating acquisitions within three to four months and achieving robust near-term earnings growth through operational improvements.

Direct Contracting Opportunity

Direct contracting is a new delivery model in which CMS contracts directly with providers designated as Direct Contracting Entities, or DCEs, and is part of CMS’ strategy to drive broader healthcare reform and accelerate the shift from original fee-for-service Medicare toward value-based care models. A key aspect of direct contracting is providing new opportunities for a variety of different DCEs to participate in capitated arrangements in Medicare fee-for-service. Relative to existing initiatives, the payment model options also include

Table of Contents

a reduced set of quality measures that focuses more on outcomes and beneficiary experience than on process. Our wholly owned subsidiary, American Choice Healthcare, LLC, was one of 41 unique companies chosen by CMS as a DCE to participate in the Implementation Period of the Direct Contracting Model for Global and Professional Options, which runs from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The Implementation Period provides us an opportunity to prepare for the first Performance Year (PY1), which starts on April 1, 2021. We have been assigned to approximately 11,000 beneficiaries under this program. According to the industry group HCP-LAN, a shift toward value-based care for Medicare patients (e.g., direct contracting) may increase the share of Medicare value-based payments from 30% of total payments in 2020 to 100% by 2025, tripling the current value-based Medicare market to $800 billion.

Impact of COVID-19

Despite operating in the worst pandemic in over 100 years, our recurring revenue model has allowed us to remain economically resilient throughout COVID-19 and the economic downturn resulting from the pandemic.

Once the outbreak gained momentum, we remained open and augmented our Cano@Home program, 24/7 urgency line and pharmacy home delivery to enable members to access needed care and support in their home. We successfully pivoted to a telemedicine offering for routine care in order to protect and better serve our members, staff and community. Our medical centers remained open for urgent visits and necessary procedures.

We made a conscious decision not to furlough any of our employees, even if their function was disrupted by COVID-19. We believe this decision has and will continue to engender loyalty from our employees and was in effect an investment in our staff and a meaningful demonstration of a corporate culture that values our employees, especially during times of heightened stress.

As COVID-19 cases grew nationally, we took immediate action and deployed a specific COVID-19 focused module under CanoPanorama that allows physicians to screen members for COVID-19 and related complications, as well as to refer them to a specialized team that is dedicated to helping COVID-19 members. The module includes 20 questions that were sent to members on a daily basis, collecting hundreds of thousands of responses in the process. An algorithm then assessed the risk level of each member who responded and high-risk members were referred to our COVID-19 taskforce. The taskforce then employed updated algorithms and treatment tools to treat those members based on the latest guidance.

The net result of our actions translated to:

 

   

over 340,000 completed primary care physician visits (both in person and televisits) between March 23, 2020 and December 31, 2020 using CanoPanorama;

 

   

over 95% of primary care physician visits were conducted as televisits at the peak of COVID-19 in mid-April 2020; and

 

   

an approximately 60% lower mortality rate, based on a study we conducted comparing our managed care members with an age- and gender-matched mirror group in the state of Florida from April 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020.

Based on our experience operating in the COVID-19 environment, we have identified the following learnings and trends:

 

   

We are in a position to provide more services to members with our telemedicine and mobile health solutions, including Cano@Home, which increases member access to care and decreases the cost of service.

 

   

Being able to serve more members with telemedicine solutions creates additional touchpoints for us as well as additional opportunities to capture timely data regarding member medical conditions and needs. This provides more opportunities to trigger actions through CanoPanorama designed to enhance the well-being of our members.

We believe that many of our members will look for opportunities to reconnect in person with others after the crisis abates. Our wellness centers are designed to foster social interaction that members crave and we believe this will make our medical center offerings more attractive and result in increased enrollment of new members.

 

   

Based on the high scores in the member satisfaction surveys conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our member retention rates following the crisis will remain above industry norms.

Description of Indebtedness

The following is a summary of certain of our indebtedness that is currently outstanding. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the agreements and related documents referred to herein, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On November 23, 2020, or the Credit Agreement Closing Date, we entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lenders, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, collateral agent, and a letter of credit issuer, and Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility, or the Initial Term Loan, in an original aggregate principal amount of $480.0 million, a senior secured revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, or the Revolving Credit Facility, and a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million, or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (and borrowings made thereunder, the Delayed Draw Term Loans), which, together with the Initial Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, we refer to as the Credit Facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans mature on November 23, 2027. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility mature on November 23, 2025. As of December 31, 2020, there was $461.5 million outstanding under the Initial Term Loan, net of discount and debt issuance costs.

Amortization, Interest Rates and Fees

The Credit Agreement requires us to repay the principal of the Initial Term Loan in equal quarterly repayments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of Initial Term Loan, and requires us to repay the principal of any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans in equal quarterly repayments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loans.

The Initial Term Loan, any Delayed Draw Term Loans, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at our option, from the Credit Agreement Closing Date to and including the Closing Date, either (1) a Eurodollar rate for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of up to 4.75% or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 3.75%. After the Closing Date, the applicable margins for Eurodollar rate and base rate borrowings are each subject to a reduction to 4.50% and 3.50%, respectively. The applicable margins for Eurodollar rate and base rate borrowings are each subject to further reduction to 4.25% and 3.25%, respectively, upon our achievement of a public corporate rating from S&P of at least B (stable outlook) and a public corporate rating from Moody’s of at least B2 (stable outlook), then, for as long as both such ratings remain in effect.

The Eurodollar rate applicable to the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans is subject to a “floor” of 0.75%. The Eurodollar rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a “floor” of 0.0%.

 

314


Table of Contents

The base rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the “prime rate” as determined by the administrative agent or, if the administrative agent has no “prime rate”, the “prime rate” last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 0.50% per annum, (c) the Eurodollar rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and (d) solely with respect to the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loan, 1.75%. The base rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a “floor” of 1.00%.

In addition to paying interest on loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee of up to, prior to the Closing Date, 0.50% per annum of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, and, from and after the Closing Date, subject to reduction to 0.375% per annum based on our first lien net leverage ratio. We are also required to pay a commitment fee on the aggregate unfunded portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility equal to (a) for the period commencing on December 15, 2020 until the date occurring 30 days thereafter, 0.0%, (b) for the period commencing on the 31st day after December 15, 2020 until the date occurring 60 days after December 15, 2020, 50.0% of the applicable margin at such time for Delayed Draw Term Loans that are Eurodollar loans, and (c) for the period commencing on the 61st day after December 15, 2020 and thereafter, 100.0% of the applicable margin at such time for Delayed Draw Term Loans that are Eurodollar loans. We are also required to pay letter of credit fees on a per annum basis equal to (x) the sum of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each letter of, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all disbursements made by an issuing bank under such letters of credit which have not yet been reimbursed, multiplied by (y) the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. We are required to pay customary fronting, issuance, and administrative fees for the issuance of letters of credit.

Voluntary Prepayments

We are permitted to voluntarily prepay or repay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Initial Term Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loans at any time, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts, and, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility only, to subsequently re-borrow amounts prepaid. On or prior to the six month anniversary of December 15, 2020, we are required to pay a 1.00% prepayment fee in connection with any voluntary prepayments of the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans that constitute a Repricing Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement). With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, prepayments are without premium or penalty.

We are permitted to reduce commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility at any time, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts.

Mandatory Prepayments

The Credit Agreement requires us to prepay, subject to certain exceptions, the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans with a portion of our excess cash flow in an amount ranging from 0% to 50% of excess cash flow depending on our first lien net leverage ratio, with 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and dispositions, and with 100% of the proceeds from certain debt issuances, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds.

Guarantees

Subject to certain exceptions, all obligations under the Credit Facilities, as well as certain hedging and cash management arrangements, are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, current and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of Cano Health, LLC and certain other future direct and indirect subsidiaries of Cano Health, LLC (other than unrestricted subsidiaries, joint ventures, subsidiaries prohibited by applicable law from becoming guarantors, immaterial subsidiaries and certain other excluded subsidiaries).

Table of Contents

Security

Our obligations of Cano Health, LLC, as borrower, and the obligations of the guarantors under the Credit Facilities are secured by first priority pledges of and security interests in (i) substantially all of the existing and future equity interests of Cano Health, LLC and each of its subsidiaries organized in the U.S., as well as 65% of the existing and future equity interests of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries held by the borrower or the guarantors under the Credit Agreement and (ii) substantially all of the Cano Health, LLC’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions and thresholds.

Certain Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, our ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

incur liens;

 

   

pay dividends and distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock;

 

   

create negative pledge or restrictions on the payment of dividends or payment of other amounts owed from subsidiaries;

 

   

make investments, acquisitions, loans, or advances;

 

   

engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions;

 

   

sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

 

   

change our lines of business;

 

   

make payments of certain debt that is subordinated with respect to right of payment, junior lien debt and unsecured debt;

 

   

modify certain documents governing certain debt that is subordinated with respect to right of payment, junior lien debt, or unsecured debt; and

 

   

change our fiscal year.

In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement include a financial maintenance covenant applicable only to the Revolving Credit Facility, which requires that, (x) prior to the Closing Date, at the end of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021), our first lien net leverage ratio cannot exceed 7.50 to 1.00, with step-downs to 7.00 to 1.00, 6.50 to 1.00 and 5.50 to 1.00, on the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and (y) from and after the Closing Date, for so long as the aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding undrawn letters of credit of up to $5 million and subject to certain other exceptions) exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, our first lien net leverage ratio cannot exceed a static level to be determined based on the first lien net leverage ratio as of the Closing Date. A breach of this financial covenant will not result in a default or event of default under the Initial Term Loan or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility unless and until a majority of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility have terminated the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and declared the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility due and payable.

Events of Default

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods and other exceptions), including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts; material

Table of Contents

inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; specified cross-default and cross-acceleration to other material indebtedness; certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; certain ERISA events; certain undischarged judgments; material invalidity of guarantees or grant of security interest; and change of control.

Regulation

Our operations and those of our affiliated physician entities are subject to extensive federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations require us to meet various standards relating to, among other things, billings and reports to government payment programs, primary care centers and equipment, dispensing of pharmaceuticals, management of centers, personnel qualifications, maintenance of proper records, and quality assurance programs and patient care. If any of our operations or those of our affiliated physicians are found to violate applicable laws or regulations, we could suffer severe consequences that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, reputation and stock price, including:

 

   

suspension or termination of our participation in government and/or private payment programs;

 

   

refunds of amounts received in violation of law or applicable payment program requirements dating back to the applicable statute of limitation periods;

 

   

loss of our licenses required to operate healthcare facilities, administer pharmaceuticals, or provide ancillary services in the states in which we operate;

 

   

criminal or civil liability, fines, damages or monetary penalties for violations of healthcare fraud and abuse laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act (“CMPL”), the federal physician self-referral law (commonly referred to as the “Stark Law”), the False Claims Act (“FCA”),and/or state analogs to these federal enforcement authorities, or other regulatory requirements;

 

   

enforcement actions by governmental agencies and/or state law claims for monetary damages by patients who believe their health information has been used, disclosed or not properly safeguarded in violation of federal or state patient privacy laws, including the regulations implementing the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and their implementing regulations, (collectively, “HIPAA”);

 

   

mandated changes to our practices or procedures that significantly increase operating expenses or decrease our revenue;

 

   

imposition of and compliance with corporate integrity agreements that could subject us to ongoing audits and reporting requirements as well as increased scrutiny of our billing and business practices which could lead to potential fines, among other things;

 

   

termination of various relationships and/or contracts related to our business, including joint venture arrangements, contracts with payers, real estate leases and provider employment arrangements;

 

   

changes in and reinterpretation of rules and laws by a regulatory agency or court, such as state corporate practice of medicine laws, that could affect the structure and management of our business and its affiliated physician practice corporations;

 

   

negative adjustments to government payment models including, but not limited to, Medicare Parts A, B and C and Medicaid; and

 

   

harm to our reputation, which could negatively impact our business relationships, the terms of payer contracts, our ability to attract and retain patients and physicians, our ability to obtain financing and our access to new business opportunities, among other things.

 

317


Table of Contents

We expect that our industry will continue to be subject to substantial regulation, the scope and effect of which are difficult to predict. Our activities could be subject to investigations, audits and inquiries by various government and regulatory agencies and private payers with whom we contract at any time in the future. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Cano Health’s Business and the Company Following the Business Combination — Risks Related to Government Regulation.” Adverse findings from such investigations and audits could bring severe consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, reputation and stock price. In addition, private payers could require pre-payment audits of claims, which can negatively affect cash flow, or terminate contracts for repeated deficiencies.

There is no requirement in the states in which we operate for a risk-bearing provider to register as an insurance company and we have not registered as such in any of the states in which we operate.

Federal Anti-Kickback Statute

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under federal and state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Federal criminal penalties for the violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute include imprisonment, fines and exclusion of the provider from future participation in the federal healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute are punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years, fines of up to $100,000 per kickback or both. Larger fines can be imposed upon corporations under the provisions of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the Alternate Fines Statute. Individuals and entities convicted of violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute are subject to mandatory exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs for a minimum of five years. Civil penalties for violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute include up to $100,000 in monetary penalties per violation, repayments of up to three times the total payments between the parties to the arrangement and suspension from future participation in Medicare and Medicaid. Court decisions have held that the statute may be violated even if only one purpose of remuneration is to induce referrals. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ACA amended the federal Anti-Kickback Statute to clarify the intent that is required to prove a violation. Under the statute as amended, the defendant does not need to have actual knowledge of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or have the specific intent to violate it. In addition, the ACA amended the federal Anti-Kickback Statute to provide that any claims for items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute are considered false or fraudulent for purposes of the FCA.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute includes statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors that protect certain arrangements. These exceptions and safe harbors are voluntary. Business transactions and arrangements that are structured to comply fully with an applicable safe harbor do not violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. However, transactions and arrangements that do not satisfy all elements of a relevant safe harbor do not necessarily violate the law. When an arrangement does not satisfy a safe harbor, the arrangement must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis in light of the parties’ intent and the arrangement’s potential for abuse. Arrangements that do not satisfy a safe harbor may be subject to greater scrutiny by enforcement agencies.

We enter into several arrangements that could potentially implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute if requisite intent was present, such as:

 

   

Affiliated Physician Agreements. We enter into a number of different types of agreements with affiliated physicians, including member services agreements, physician leadership agreements, physician services agreements, and recruitment of physicians into our centers. Although we endeavor to structure these arrangements to comply with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, they do not always

 

318


Table of Contents
 

satisfy all of the elements of the personal services and management contracts safe harbor. Although we believe all such agreements are necessary for our legitimate business needs and provide for compensation that is consistent with fair market value, such arrangements could be subjected to scrutiny by the OIG.

 

   

Management Services Agreements. We enter into management services agreements with each of our affiliated medical practices. Most of our management services agreements provide for compensation based on a percentage of collections generated by the practice. Although we endeavor to structure these arrangements to comply with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, they may not always satisfy all of the elements of the personal services and management contracts exception. Although we believe all such agreements are necessary for our legitimate business needs and provide for compensation that is consistent with fair market value, such arrangements could be subjected to scrutiny by the OIG.

If any of our business transactions or arrangements were found to violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, we could face, among other things, criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other state and federal healthcare programs. Any findings that we have violated these laws could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, reputation and stock price.

As part of the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS’s, Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care (“Regulatory Sprint”), the HHS Office of Inspector General, or OIG, issued a request for information in August 2018 seeking input on regulatory provisions that may act as barriers to coordinated care or value-based care. Specifically, OIG sought to identify ways in which it might modify or add new safe harbors to the Anti-Kickback Statute (as well as exceptions to the definition of “remuneration” in the beneficiary inducements provision of the CMPL) in order to foster arrangements that promote care coordination and advance the delivery of value-based care, while also protecting against harms caused by fraud and abuse. Numerous federal agencies have requested comments and information from the public and have published proposed regulations as part of the Regulatory Sprint on areas that have historically been viewed as barriers to innovative care coordination arrangements.

In November 2020, CMS and the OIG issued a final rule adding new exceptions and safe harbors to the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute and made modifications to the CMPL governing inducements provided to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. OIG identified aspects of the Anti-Kickback Statute and CMPL that posed potential barriers to coordinated care and value-based care and added new safe harbors that attempt to address those barriers. These new Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbors allow, among other things, certain outcomes-based payments, care coordination arrangements, the provision of telehealth technologies and arrangements for patient engagement to be structured in such a manner as to be protected from scrutiny under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Although the healthcare industry is still trying to determine what business models will benefit from such arrangements, we expect that such safe harbors will give us additional protection as we continue to implement new strategies to better coordinate patient care. Further, we anticipate that the greater flexibility and certainty allowed by the final regulations could give rise to more competition for physicians in our various markets and may make competitors more attractive to our physicians with less integrated and lower-cost business models.

Additionally, numerous federal agencies have requested comments and information from the public and have published proposed regulations as part of the Regulatory Sprint on areas that have historically been viewed as barriers to innovative care coordination arrangements. Additionally, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) is also involved, and has called for information from the public regarding ways that the HIPAA regulations could be modernized to support coordinated, value-based care.

Additionally, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”) published proposed regulations related to the privacy of substance use disorder treatment records, and CMS published proposals to revise its Stark advisory opinion process. On July 15, 2020, SAMHSA issued a final rule on the protection of substance use disorder (“SUD”) treatment records under 42 CFR Part 2 (the “Part 2 Rule”). The

 

319


Table of Contents

Part 2 final rule aims to reduce delays and burdens in care coordination by more closely aligning Part 2 with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, while maintaining certain privacy protections specific to Part 2. This final rule became effective August 14, 2020. Also of note, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) (Pub. L. 116-136), signed into law on March 27, 2020, Congress itself made significant modifications to the authorizing statute for the Part 2 regulations, with the aim of aligning the Part 2 laws more strongly with the HIPAA privacy rule. The law directs the Secretary of HHS to revise the Part 2 regulations such that the amendments would apply to uses and disclosures of SUD records the date that is 12 months after the date of enactment of the CARES Act. We anticipate many more proposals and changes into the future as part of this initiative. These changes in federal regulations are anticipated to make a significant impact on healthcare providers and other stakeholders. These and similar changes may cause OIG, CMS or other regulators to change the parameters of rules and regulations that we must follow and thus impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risk Bearing Provider Regulation

Certain of the states where we currently operate or may choose to operate in the future regulate the operations and financial condition of risk bearing providers like us and our affiliated providers. These regulations can include capital requirements, licensing or certification, governance controls and other similar matters. While these regulations have not had a material impact on our business to date, as we continue to expand, these rules may require additional resources and capitalization and add complexity to our business.

Stark Law

The Stark Law prohibits a physician who has a financial relationship, or who has an immediate family member who has a financial relationship, with entities providing Designated Health Services (“DHS”) from referring Medicare patients to such entities for the furnishing of DHS, unless an exception applies. Although uncertainty exists, federal agencies and at least one court have taken the position that the Stark Law also applies to Medicaid. DHS is defined to include clinical laboratory services, physical therapy services, occupational therapy services, radiology services including magnetic resonance imaging, computerized axial tomography scans, and ultrasound services, radiation therapy services and supplies, durable medical equipment and supplies, parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment, and supplies, prosthetics, orthotics and prosthetic devices and supplies, home health services, outpatient prescription drugs, inpatient and outpatient hospital services and outpatient speech-language pathology services. The types of financial arrangements between a physician and an entity providing DHS that trigger the self-referral prohibitions of the Stark Law are broad and include direct and indirect ownership and investment interests and compensation arrangements. The Stark Law prohibits any entity providing DHS that has received a prohibited referral from presenting, or causing to be presented, a claim or billing for the services arising out of the prohibited referral. Similarly, the Stark Law prohibits an entity from “furnishing” a DHS to another entity in which it has a financial relationship when that entity bills for the service. The Stark Law also prohibits self-referrals within an organization by its own physicians, although broad exceptions exist that cover employed physicians and those referring DHS that are ancillary to the physician’s practice to the physician group. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral. Unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law is a strict liability violation where unlawful intent need not be demonstrated.

If the Stark Law is implicated, the financial relationship must fully satisfy a Stark Law exception. If an exception is not satisfied, then the parties to the arrangement could be subject to sanctions. Sanctions for violation of the Stark Law include denial of payment for claims for services provided in violation of the prohibition, refunds of amounts collected in violation of the prohibition, a civil penalty of up to $15,000 for each service arising out of the prohibited referral, a civil penalty of up to $100,000 against parties that enter into a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law prohibition, civil assessment of up to three times the amount claimed and potential exclusion from the federal healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Amounts collected on claims related to prohibited referrals must be reported and refunded generally within 60 days after the date on

which the overpayment was identified. Furthermore, Stark Law violations and failure to return overpayments in a timely manner can form the basis for FCA liability, as discussed below.

If CMS or other regulatory or enforcement authorities determine that claims have been submitted for referrals by us that violate the Stark Law, we would be subject to the penalties described above. In addition, it might be necessary to restructure existing compensation agreements with our physicians. Any such penalties and restructuring or other required actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In June 2018, CMS issued a request for information seeking input on how to address any undue regulatory impact and burden of the Stark Law. CMS placed the request for information in the context of the Regulatory Sprint and stated that it identified aspects of the Stark Law that pose potential barriers to coordinated care. In November 2020, CMS issued a sweeping set of regulations that introduce significant new value-based terminology, safe harbors and exceptions to the Stark Law. Additionally, CMS made a number of changes to certain existing regulations under the Stark Law, including the definition of group practice. The new regulations are effective January 19, 2021, except for certain changes related to the definition of a group practice which take effect January 1, 2022. The changes may require or allow changes in how our centers compensate affiliated physicians for DHS in certain markets. Although the healthcare industry is still trying to determine what business models will benefit from the changes to the Stark Law, we expect that the new exceptions will give us additional protection as we continue to implement new strategies to better coordinate patient care. Further, we anticipate that the greater flexibility and certainty allowed by the final regulations could give rise to more competition for physicians in our various markets and may make competitors more attractive to our physicians by offering less integrated and lower-cost business models. These or other changes implemented by CMS in the future may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The definition of DHS under the Stark Law does not include outpatient physician services. Since most services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries provided in our centers are physician services, our services generally do not implicate the Stark Law referral prohibition. However, certain ancillary services we may provide, including certain diagnostic testing and physical therapy, may be considered DHS. Also, we refer Medicare beneficiaries to third parties for the provision of DHS and our financial relationships with those third parties must satisfy a Stark Law exception.

We have entered into several types of financial relationships with physicians, including compensation arrangements. If our centers were to bill for a non-exempted service and the financial relationships with the physician did not satisfy an exception, we could be required to change our practices, face civil penalties, pay substantial fines, return certain payments received from Medicare and beneficiaries or otherwise experience a material adverse effect as a result of a challenge to payments made pursuant to referrals from these physicians under the Stark Law.

Fraud and Abuse under State Law

Some states in which we operate centers have laws prohibiting physicians from holding financial interests in various types of medical facilities to which they refer patients. Some of these laws could potentially be interpreted broadly as prohibiting physicians who hold shares of our publicly traded stock or are physician owners from referring patients to our centers if the centers perform services for their patients or do not otherwise satisfy an exception to the law. States also have laws similar to or stricter than the federal Anti-Kickback Statute that may affect our ability to receive referrals from physicians with whom we have financial relationships. Some state anti-kickback laws also include civil and criminal penalties. Some of these laws include exemptions that may be applicable to our physician relationships or for financial interests limited to shares of publicly traded stock. Some, however, may include no explicit exemption for certain types of agreements and/or relationships entered into with physicians. A violation of such laws could result in a prohibition on billing payers for such services, civil or criminal penalties, and adversely affect any licenses that we or our affiliated physicians hold in

the state. If these laws are interpreted to apply to physicians who hold equity interests in our centers or to physicians who hold our publicly traded stock, and for which no applicable exception exists, we may be required to terminate or restructure our relationships with these physicians and could be subject to criminal, civil and administrative sanctions, refund requirements and exclusions from government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, reputation and stock price.

Similarly, states have beneficiary inducement prohibitions and consumer protection laws that may be triggered by the offering of inducements (e.g., transportation), incentives and other forms of remuneration to patients and prospective patients. States also may limit the types of marketing activities that we, our centers, and our affiliated physicians may take targeted towards patients. Violations range from civil to criminal and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Corporate Practice of Medicine and Fee-Splitting

We enter into employment agreements with our employed providers to delivery services to patients. We also contract with independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization relationships. We enter into Primary Care Physician Provider Agreements with affiliated practices pursuant to which we provide administrative and management services, including payer and specialty provider contract negotiation, credentialing, coding, and managed care analytics. We pay the affiliate a primary care fee and a portion of the surplus of premium in excess of third-party medical costs. The surplus portion paid to affiliates is recorded as direct patient expense. These administrative services arrangements are subject to state laws, including those in certain of the states where we operate, which prohibit the practice of medicine by, and/or the splitting of professional fees with, non-professional persons or entities such as general business corporations.

The laws and regulations relating to our operations vary from state to state and many states prohibit general business corporations, such as us, from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions or engaging in some practices such as splitting professional fees with physicians. There is often limited regulatory guidance regarding applicable limitations on the corporate practice of medicine. Additionally, these prohibitions are subject to new and more expansive interpretations by the courts and regulatory bodies. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with state laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting, other parties may assert that, despite the way we are structured, we could be engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or unlawful fee-splitting. Were such allegations to be asserted successfully before the appropriate judicial or administrative forums, we could be subject to adverse judicial or administrative penalties, certain contracts could be determined to be unenforceable and we may be required to restructure our contractual arrangements.

Violations of the corporate practice of medicine vary by state and may result in physicians being subject to disciplinary action, as well as to forfeiture of revenues from payers for services rendered. For lay entities, violations may also bring both civil and, in more extreme cases, criminal liability for engaging in medical practice without a license. Some of the relevant laws, regulations and agency interpretations in states with corporate practice of medicine restrictions have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation. In limited cases, courts have required management services companies to divest or reorganize structures deemed to violate corporate practice restrictions. Moreover, state laws are subject to change. Any allegations or findings that we have violated these laws could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including adversely impacting our relationship with affiliated physicians and our ability to recruit new physicians into our centers.

The False Claims Act

The federal FCA is a means of policing false bills or false requests for payment in the healthcare delivery system. Among other things, the FCA authorizes the imposition of up to three times the government’s damages

 

322


Table of Contents

and significant per claim civil penalties on any “person” (including an individual, organization or company) who, among other acts:

 

   

knowingly presents or causes to be presented to the federal government a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval;

 

   

knowingly makes, uses or causes to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim;

 

   

knowingly makes, uses or causes to be made or used a false record or statement material to an obligation to pay the government, or knowingly conceals or knowingly and improperly avoids or decreases an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government; or

 

   

conspires to commit the above acts.

In addition, amendments to the FCA and Social Security Act impose severe penalties for the knowing and improper retention of overpayments collected from government payers. Under these provisions, within 60 days of identifying and quantifying an overpayment, a provider is required to notify CMS or the Medicare Administrative Contractor of the overpayment and the reason for it and return the overpayment. An overpayment impermissibly retained could subject us to liability under the FCA, exclusion from government healthcare programs and penalties under the federal Civil Monetary Penalty statute. As a result of these provisions, our procedures for identifying and processing overpayments may be subject to greater scrutiny.

The penalties for a violation of the FCA range from $11,665 to $23,331 per false claim or statement (as of June 19, 2020, and subject to annual adjustments for inflation) for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages caused by each false claim, which can be as much as the amounts received directly or indirectly from the government for each such false claim.

The federal government has used the FCA to prosecute a wide variety of alleged false claims and fraud allegedly perpetrated against Medicare, Medicaid, and state healthcare programs, including but not limited to coding errors, billing for services not rendered, the submission of false cost or other reports, billing for services at a higher payment rate than appropriate, billing under a comprehensive code as well as under one or more component codes included in the comprehensive code, billing for care that is not considered medically necessary and false reporting of risk-adjusted diagnostic codes to Medicare Advantage plans. The ACA provides that claims tainted by a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute are false for purposes of the FCA. Some courts have held that filing claims or failing to refund amounts collected in violation of the Stark Law can form the basis for liability under the FCA. In addition to the provisions of the FCA, which provide for civil enforcement, the federal government can use several criminal statutes to prosecute persons who are alleged to have submitted false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government. Any allegations or findings that we have violated the FCA could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to the FCA, the various states in which we operate have adopted their own analogs of the FCA. States are becoming increasingly active in using their false claims laws to police the same activities listed above, particularly with regard to Medicaid fee-for-service and Managed Medicaid programs.

Civil Monetary Penalties Statute

The Civil Monetary Penalties Statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a, authorizes the imposition of civil monetary penalties, assessments and exclusion against an individual or entity based on a variety of prohibited conduct, including, but not limited to:

 

   

presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payers that the individual or entity knows or should know are for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent;

 

323


Table of Contents
   

offering remuneration to a federal healthcare program beneficiary that the individual or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary to order or receive health care items or services from a particular provider;

 

   

arranging contracts with an entity or individual excluded from participation in the federal healthcare programs;

 

   

violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute;

 

   

making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim for payment for items and services furnished under a federal healthcare program;

 

   

making, using or causing to be made any false statement, omission or misrepresentation of a material fact in any application, bid or contract to participate or enroll as a provider of services or a supplier under a federal healthcare program; and

 

   

failing to report and return an overpayment owed to the federal government.

Substantial civil monetary penalties may be imposed under the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Statute and may vary depending on the underlying violation. In addition, an assessment of not more than three times the total amount claimed for each item or service may also apply and a violator may be subject to exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs.

We could be exposed to a wide range of allegations to which the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Statute would apply. We perform monthly checks on our employees, affiliated providers and certain affiliates and vendors using government databases to confirm that these individuals have not been excluded from federal programs. However, should an individual become excluded and we fail to detect it, a federal agency could require us to refund amounts attributable to all claims or services performed or sufficiently linked to an excluded individual. Likewise, our patient programs, which can include enhancements, incentives and additional care coordination not otherwise covered under traditional Medicare, could be alleged to be intended to influence the patient’s choice in obtaining services or the amount or types of services sought. Thus, we cannot foreclose the possibility that we will face allegations subject to the Civil Monetary Penalty Statute with the potential for a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Privacy and Security

The federal regulations promulgated under the authority of HIPAA require us to provide certain protections to patients and their health information. The HIPAA privacy and security regulations extensively regulate the use and disclosure of “protected health information” (“PHI”) and require covered entities, which include healthcare providers and their business associates, to implement and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security of such information. Additional security requirements apply to electronic PHI. These regulations also provide patients with substantive rights with respect to their health information.

The HIPAA privacy and security regulations also require us to enter into written agreements with certain contractors, known as business associates, to whom we disclose PHI. Covered entities may be subject to penalties for, among other activities, failing to enter into a business associate agreement where required by law or as a result of a business associate violating HIPAA, if the business associate is found to be an agent of the covered entity and acting within the scope of the agency. Business associates are also directly subject to liability under certain HIPAA privacy and security regulations. In instances where we act as a business associate to a covered entity, there is the potential for additional liability beyond our status as a covered entity.

Covered entities must notify affected individuals of breaches of unsecured PHI without unreasonable delay but no later than 60 days after discovery of the breach by a covered entity or its agents. Reporting must also be made to the HHS Office for Civil Rights and, for breaches of unsecured PHI involving more than 500 residents

 

324


Table of Contents

of a state or jurisdiction, to the media. All impermissible uses or disclosures of unsecured PHI are presumed to be breaches unless the covered entity or business associate establishes that there is a low probability the PHI has been compromised. Various state laws and regulations may also require us to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach involving personal information without regard to the probability of the information being compromised.

Violations of HIPAA by providers like us, including, but not limited to, failing to implement appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards, have resulted in enforcement actions and in some cases triggered settlement payments or civil monetary penalties. Penalties for impermissible use or disclosure of PHI were increased by the HITECH Act by imposing tiered penalties of more than $50,000 per violation and up to $1.5 million per year for identical violations. In addition, HIPAA provides for criminal penalties of up to $250,000 and ten years in prison, with the severest penalties for obtaining and disclosing PHI with the intent to sell, transfer or use such information for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm. Further, state attorneys general may bring civil actions seeking either injunction or damages in response to violations of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations that threaten the privacy of state residents. There can be no assurance that we will not be the subject of an investigation (arising out of a reportable breach incident, audit or otherwise) alleging non-compliance with HIPAA regulations in our maintenance of PHI.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal and state laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PHI and other types of personally identifiable information (“PII”). State statutes and regulations vary from state to state, and these laws and regulations in many cases are more restrictive than, HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future. In the event that new data security laws are implemented, we may not be able to timely comply with such requirements, or such requirements may not be compatible with our current processes. Changing our processes could be time consuming and expensive, and failure to timely implement required changes could subject us to liability for non-compliance. Some states also afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their PII has been misused. This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us and potentially restricts our ability to collect, use and disclose data and exposes us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.

Healthcare Reform

In March 2010, broad healthcare reform legislation was enacted in the United States through the ACA. Although many of the provisions of the ACA did not take effect immediately and continue to be implemented, and some have been and may be modified before or during their implementation, the reforms could continue to have an impact on our business in a number of ways. We cannot predict how employers, private payers or persons buying insurance might react to federal and state healthcare reform legislation, whether already enacted or enacted in the future, nor can we predict what form many of these regulations will take before implementation.

Other aspects of the 2010 healthcare reform laws may also affect our business, including provisions that impact the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These and other provisions of the ACA remain subject to ongoing uncertainty due to developing regulations and clarifications, including those described above, as well as continuing political and legal challenges at both the federal and state levels. Since 2016, various administrative and legislative initiatives have been implemented that have had adverse impacts on the ACA and its programs. For example, in October 2017, the federal government announced that cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers would end, effective immediately, unless Congress appropriated the funds, and, in December 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes a provision that eliminates the penalty under the ACA’s individual mandate for individuals who fail to obtain a qualifying health insurance plan and could impact the future state of the exchanges. On December 14, 2018, a federal district court in Texas ruled the individual mandate is a critical and inseverable feature of the ACA, and therefore, because it was repealed as part of the Tax

 

325


Table of Contents

Cuts and Jobs Act, the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. The current administration and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, have both stated that the ruling will have no immediate effect, and on December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and remanded the case to the lower court to reconsider its earlier invalidation of the full ACA. On March 2, 2020, the United States Supreme Court granted the petitions for writs of certiorari to review this case. Oral arguments, were held on November 10, 2020. Pending review, the ACA remains in effect, but it is unclear at this time what effect the latest ruling will have on the status of the ACA. Litigation and legislation over the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results.

Moreover, in February 2018, Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act (the “BBA”) which, among other things, repealed the Independent Payment Advisory Board that was established by the ACA and intended to reduce the rate of growth in Medicare spending by extending sequestration cuts (up to 2% per fiscal year) to Medicare payments through fiscal year 2027. Subsequent legislation has extended these sequestration cuts through 2030 unless additional Congressional action is taken. However, pursuant to the CARES Act, and subsequent legislation, the 2% Medicare sequester reductions have been suspended from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Proposed legislation, if passed, would extend this suspension until the end of the pandemic. While certain provisions of the BBA may increase the scope of benefits available under Medicare Advantage for certain chronically ill federal health care program beneficiaries beginning in 2020, the ultimate impact of such changes cannot be predicted.

While there may be significant changes to the healthcare environment in the future, the specific changes and their timing are not yet apparent. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the future with respect to the exchanges and other core aspects of the current health care marketplace. Future elections may create conditions for Congress to adopt new federal coverage programs that may disrupt our current commercial payer revenue streams. While specific changes and their timing are not yet apparent, such changes could lower our reimbursement rates or increase our expenses. Any failure to successfully implement strategic initiatives that respond to future legislative, regulatory, and executive changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. CMS and state Medicaid agencies also routinely adjust the risk adjustment factor which is central to payment under Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid programs in which we participate. The monetary “coefficient” values associated with diseases that we manage in our population are subject to change by CMS and state agencies. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Other Regulations

Our operations are subject to various state hazardous waste and non-hazardous medical waste disposal laws. These laws do not classify as hazardous most of the waste produced from medical services. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, including bloodborne pathogens standards, require employers to provide workers who are occupationally subject to blood or other potentially infectious materials with prescribed protections. These regulatory requirements apply to all healthcare facilities, including primary care centers, and require employers to make a determination as to which employees may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials and to have in effect a written exposure control plan. In addition, employers are required to provide or employ hepatitis B vaccinations, personal protective equipment and other safety devices, infection control training, post-exposure evaluation and follow-up, waste disposal techniques and procedures and work practice controls. Employers are also required to comply with various record-keeping requirements.

Our pharmacies are licensed to do business as pharmacies in the states in which they are located. In addition, our pharmacists and nurses are licensed in those states where we believe their activity requires it. Our various pharmacy facilities also maintain certain Medicare and state Medicaid provider numbers as pharmacies providing services under these programs. Participation in these programs requires our pharmacies to comply with the applicable Medicare and Medicaid provider rules and regulations, and exposes the pharmacies to various changes the federal and state governments may impose regarding reimbursement methodologies and amounts to

 

326


Table of Contents

be paid to participating providers under these programs. In addition, several of our pharmacy facilities are participating providers under Medicare Part D and, as a condition to becoming a participating provider under Medicare Part D, the pharmacies are required to adhere to certain requirements applicable to Medicare Part D.

Our operations are subject to various state law requirements for licensure of ancillary services such as lab services and operation of radiological equipment, federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, Drug Enforcement Administration standards for administering and prescribing controlled substances and distributing drug samples, reporting financial relationships with drug, biologicals and medical device companies, and numerous other federal, state and local laws governing the day-to-day provision of medical services by our centers.

Federal and state law also governs the dispensing of controlled substances by physicians. For example, the Prescription Drug Marketing Act governs the distribution of drug samples. Physicians are required to report relationships they have with the manufacturers of drugs, medical devices and biologics through the Open Payments Program database. Any allegations or findings that we or our providers have violated any of these laws or regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any allegations or findings that we or our providers have violated any of these laws or regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Further, federal and state law in each state where we currently operate are increasingly imposing oversight, reporting requirements, and other safeguards on our providers that prescribe opioids and other pain medicine. Texas, for instance, has adopted a number of amendments to existing laws and regulatory changes to limit prescription sizes, frequency, and requiring providers to access the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program before prescribing or dispensing controlled substances. In addition, federal and state investigators have increased enforcement efforts relative to inappropriate opioid prescribing patterns by providers. Any failure to comply with such legal and regulatory requirements could adversely impact our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition.

In addition, while none of the states in which we currently operate have required it, certain states in which we may desire to do business in the future have certificate of need programs regulating the establishment or expansion of healthcare facilities, including primary care centers. These regulations can be complex and time-consuming. Any failure to comply with such regulatory requirements could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. As we expand into new markets in new states we must comply with a variety of health regulatory and other state laws. In California, for example, pursuant to the Knox-Keene Act, a risk bearing organization (“RBO”) (i) contracts directly with a healthcare service plan or arranges for healthcare services for the healthcare service plan’s enrollees; (ii) receives compensation for those services on any capitated or fixed periodic payment basis; and (iii) is responsible for the processing and payment of claims made by providers for services rendered by those providers on behalf of a healthcare service plan when those services are covered under the capitation or fixed periodic payment made by the plan to the RBO. If we expand our business to California, our business may meet the definition of an RBO, which would require us to register with the California Department of Managed Healthcare, meet certain solvency requirements, submit quarterly and annual financial reports (which will be publicly available), and submit quarterly survey reports.

Intellectual Property

Our continued growth and success depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property and internally developed technology, including CanoPanorama. We primarily protect our intellectual property through a combination of copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights (including confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment-of-invention agreements with our employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business). We continuously evaluate the needs of our providers and the tools that CanoPanorama can provide and make improvements and add new features based on those needs. We continually assess the most appropriate methods of protecting our intellectual property and may decide to pursue additional available protections in the future.

Competition

While the U.S. healthcare industry is highly competitive, the market in which we operate is vast and remains highly fragmented. We compete with other primary care providers, which consist of solo practitioners or small physician groups, larger group practices often backed by financial sponsors and health system-affiliated practices. Competitors also include regional providers of primary care services such as Iora Health, ChenMed and Oak Street Health. Among other things, we compete for contracts with payers, recruitment of physicians and other medical and non-medical personnel and ultimately for members. Importantly, our principal competitors for members and capitated payer contracts vary from market to market, and we have experienced limited overlap with these competitors due to the fragmented nature of the value-based care provider competitive landscape.

Due to low barriers of entry in the primary care market, competition for growth in existing and new markets is not limited to large competitors with substantial financial resources, or those that traditionally operate in the primary care market. As an example, payers may (and in some cases, may continue to) acquire or build their primary care and other provider assets and implement disruptive technologies to compete with us. As such, our growth strategy and our business could be adversely affected with increased competition levels. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Cano Health’s Business and the Company Following the Business Combination — Risks Related to Competition.”

We believe building a competitive value-based primary care offering is no easy task. Technological expertise (e.g., development of an effective and scalable population health management platform), branding and marketing requirements, payer partnerships, corporate culture, member-care protocols and material start-up costs associated with the build-out process, are significant barriers to entry that may limit direct competition in the near term.

Overall, we believe that our focus on improving access to care in underserved communities, enhancing quality of care and promoting wellness results in superior clinical outcomes and high member satisfaction. We believe this combination of factors will allow us to compete favorably in any market.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, we believe would, either individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Insurance

We maintain insurance, excess coverage, or reinsurance for property and general liability, professional liability, directors’ and officers’ liability, workers’ compensation, cybersecurity and other coverage in amounts and on terms deemed adequate by management, based on our actual claims experience and expectations for future claims. We also utilize stop-loss insurance for our members, protecting us for medical claims per episode in excess of certain levels. Future claims could, however, exceed our applicable insurance coverage.

Employees and Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we collectively had approximately 2,193 employees, including approximately 222 providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants). We consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or party to a collective bargaining agreement.

 

328


Table of Contents

We believe that providers want to be clinicians. Our employed physicians enjoy a collegial, near-academic environment and the tools and multi-disciplinary support they need to focus on medicine, their patients and their families rather than administrative matters like pre-authorizations, referrals, billing and coding. Our physicians receive ongoing training through regular clinical meetings to review the latest findings in primary care medicine. Furthermore, we offer above-average pay and no hospital call requirements. In addition, our physicians are eligible to receive a bonus based upon patient results, including reductions in patient emergency room visits and hospital admissions, among other metrics.

Properties

Our principal executive offices are located in Miami, Florida, where we occupy a facility totaling approximately 47,647 square feet. We use this facility for administration, sales and marketing, technology and development and professional services. As of December 31, 2020, we leased approximately 538,000 square feet relating to 91 facilities located in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico, including our corporate offices. We intend to procure additional space as we add team members and expand geographically. We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CANO HEALTH

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “Cano Health,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to PCIH and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination and to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a primary care-centric, technology-powered healthcare delivery and population health management platform designed with a focus on clinical excellence. Our mission is simple: to improve patient health by delivering superior primary care medical services, while forging life-long bonds with our members. Our vision is clear: to become the national leader in primary care by improving the health, wellness and quality of life of the communities we serve, while reducing healthcare costs.

In 2016, we entered into a relationship with InTandem Capital Partners to provide financial support and guidance to fund platform investments and accelerate our growth. We have subsequently expanded our services from 2 markets in 2017 to 14 markets as of December 31, 2020, while growing membership from 13,685 members in 2017 to approximately 106,000 members as of December 31, 2020. See “ — Key Performance Metrics” for how we define our members and medical centers. Today, we are one of the largest and most sophisticated independent primary care platforms in the U.S., but still maintain significant growth runway. We have sought to address the fundamental problems with traditional healthcare payment models by leveraging our technology solutions and proven business model to align incentives among patients, payers and providers:

 

   

Patients: Our members are offered services in modern, clean, contemporary medical centers, with same or next day appointments, integrated virtual care, wellness services, ancillary services (such as physiotherapy), home services, transportation, telemedicine and a 24/7 urgency line, all without additional cost to them. This broad-based care model is critical to our success in delivering care to members of low-income communities, including large minority and immigrant populations, with complex care needs, many of whom previously had very limited or no access to quality healthcare. We are proud of the impact we have made in these underserved communities.

 

   

Providers: We believe that providers want to be clinicians. Our employed physicians enjoy a collegial, near-academic environment and the tools and multi-disciplinary support they need to focus on medicine, their patients and their families rather than administrative matters like pre-authorizations, referrals, billing and coding. Our physicians receive ongoing training through regular clinical meetings to review the latest findings in primary care medicine. Furthermore, we offer above-average pay and no hospital call requirements. In addition, our physicians are eligible to receive a bonus based upon patient results, including reductions in patient emergency room visits and hospital admissions, among other metrics.

 

   

Payers: Payers want three things: high-quality care, membership growth and effective medical cost management. We have a multi-year and multi-geography track record of delivering on all three. Our proven track record of high-quality ratings increases the premiums paid by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, to health plans, our quality primary-care-driven membership growth, and our scaled, highly professional value-based provider group can deliver quality care.

CanoPanorama, our proprietary population health management technology-powered platform, is a critical enabler of our efforts to deliver superior clinical care. Our platform provides the healthcare providers at our medical centers with a 360-degree view of their members along with actionable insights to empower better care decisions and drive high member engagement. We leverage our technology to risk-stratify members and apply a highly personalized approach to primary care, chronic care, preventive care and members’ broader healthcare needs. We believe our model is well-positioned to capitalize on the large and growing opportunity being driven by the marketplace’s shift to value-based care, demographic tailwinds in the market and the increased focus on improving health outcomes, care quality and the patient experience.

We predominantly enter into capitated contracts with the nation’s largest health plans to provide holistic, comprehensive healthcare. We predominantly recognize recurring per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. We also provide practice management and administrative support services to independent physicians and group practices that we do not own through our managed services organization relationships, which we refer to as our affiliate relationships. Our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care rather than driving a high volume of services. In this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payers and patients alike — the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time.

Our capitated revenue is generally a function of the pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS as well as our ability to accurately and appropriately document member acuity and achieve quality metrics. Under this capitated contract structure, we are responsible for all members’ medical costs inside and outside of our medical centers. Keeping members healthy is our primary objective. When they need medical care, delivery of the right care in the right setting can greatly impact outcomes. Through members’ engagement with our entire suite of services, including high-frequency primary care and access to ancillary services like our wellness programs, Cano Life and Cano@Home, we aim to reduce the number of occasions that members need to seek specialty care in higher-cost environments. When care outside of our medical centers is needed, our primary care physicians control referrals to specialists and other third-party care, which are typically paid by us on a fee-for-service basis. This allows us to proactively manage members’ health within our medical centers first, prior to resorting to more costly care settings.

As of December 31, 2020 we employed approximately 222 providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) across our 71 owned medical centers, maintained relationships with over 500 affiliate providers and had 398 clinical support employees focused on supporting physicians in enabling patient care and experience. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, our total revenue was $364.4 million and $829.4 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year growth rate of 127.6%. Our net loss increased from $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $74.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by our ability to:

Build Long-Term Relationships with our Existing Members

We focus on member satisfaction in order to build long-term relationships. Our members enjoy highly personalized value-based care and their visits to our medical centers cover primary care and ancillary programs such as pharmacy and dental services, in addition to wellness and social services, which lead to healthier and happier members. By integrating member engagement and the Cano Life wellness program within the CanoPanorama platform, we also help foster long-term relationships with members. Resulting word-of-mouth referrals contribute to our high organic growth rates. Patient satisfaction can also be measured by a provider’s Net Promoter Score, or NPS, which measures the loyalty of customers to a company. Our member NPS score of 70 speaks to our ability to consistently deliver high-quality care with superior member satisfaction.

Add New Members in Existing Centers

Our ability to add new members organically is a key driver of our growth. We have a large embedded growth opportunity within our existing medical center base. As of December 31, 2020, our existing medical centers in South Florida operated at approximately 50% of capacity, providing us with the ability to significantly increase our membership without the need for significant capital expenditures. In medical centers that are approaching full capacity, we are able to augment our footprint by expanding our existing medical centers, opening de novo centers or acquiring centers that are a more convenient “medical home” for our members. We also believe that even after COVID-19 subsides, we will continue to conduct some visits by telemedicine based on member preference and clinical need, which in turn could increase the average capacity of our medical centers. Additionally, as we add members to our existing medical centers, we expect these members to contribute significant incremental economics as we leverage our fixed cost base at each medical center.

Our payer partners also direct members to our medical centers by either assigning patients who have not yet selected a primary care provider or through insurance agents who inform their clients about our services. We believe this often results in the patient selecting us as their primary care provider when they select a Medicare Advantage plan. Due to our care delivery model’s patient-centric focus, we have been able to consistently help payers manage their costs while raising the quality of their plans, affording them quality bonuses that increase their revenue. We believe that we represent an attractive opportunity for payers to meaningfully improve their overall membership growth in a given market without assuming any financial downside.

Expand our Medical Center Base within Existing and New Markets

We have successfully entered 12 new markets since 2017 and as of December 31, 2020 are operating in 14 markets in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Puerto Rico. When entering a new market, we tailor our entry strategy to the characteristics of the specific market and provide a customized solution to meet that market’s needs. When choosing a market to enter, we look at various factors including (i) Medicare population density, (ii) underserved demographics, (iii) existing payer relationships, (iv) patient acuity and (v) specialist and hospital access/capacity. We typically choose a location that is highly visible and accessible and work to enhance brand development pre-entry. Our flexible medical center design allows us to adjust to local market needs by building medical centers that range from approximately 7,000 to 20,000 square feet that may include ancillary services such as pharmacies and dental services. We seek to grow member engagement through targeted multi-channel marketing, community outreach and use of mobile clinics to expand our reach. When entering a new market, based on its characteristics and economics, we decide whether it makes most sense to buy existing medical centers, build de novo medical centers or to help manage members’ health care via affiliate relationships. This highly flexible model enables us to choose the right solution for each market.

When building or buying a medical center is the right solution, we own the medical facility and the physicians are our employees. As of December 31, 2020, we employed 222 providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) in 71 medical centers that we own and operate. In our medical centers, we receive per member per month capitated revenue, which, in the case of health plans, is a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS. Although there is an upfront cost of development, historically approximately $0.6 to $1.5 million per medical center, the owned medical center model provides the best opportunity to drive improved health outcomes and allows us to practice full value-based care.

Alternatively, our affiliate relationships allow us to partner with independent physicians and group practices that we do not own and to provide them access to components of our population health management platform. As of December 31, 2020, we provided services to over 500 providers. As in the case of our owned medical centers, we receive per member per month capitated revenue and a pre-negotiated percentage of the premium that the health plan receives from CMS. We pay the affiliate a primary care fee and a portion of the surplus of premium in excess of third-party medical costs. The surplus portion paid to affiliates is recorded as direct patient expense. This approach is extremely capital efficient as the costs of managing affiliates are minimal. Further, the affiliate

model is an important growth avenue as it serves as a feeder into our acquisition pipeline, enabling us to evaluate and target affiliated practices for acquisition based on our operational experience with them.

Contracts with Payers

Our economic model relies on our capitated partnerships with payers which manage Medicare members across the United States. We have established ourselves as a top quality provider across multiple Medicare and Medicaid health plans, including Humana, Anthem and UnitedHealthcare (or their respective affiliates). Our relationships with our payer partners go back as many as ten years and are generally evergreen in nature. We are viewed as a critical distributer of effective healthcare with market-leading clinical outcomes (led by primary care), and as such we believe our payer relationships will continue to be long-lasting and enduring. These plans and others are seeking further opportunities to expand their relationship with us beyond our current markets. Having payer relationships in place reduces the risk of entering into new markets. Maintaining, supporting and growing these relationships, particularly as we enter new geographies, is critical to our long-term success. Health plans look to achieve three goals when partnering with a provider: membership growth, clinical quality and medical cost management. We are capable of delivering all three based on our care coordination strategy, differentiated quality metrics and strong relationships with members. We believe this alignment of interests and our highly effective care model will ensure continued success with our payer partners.

Effectively Manage the Cost of Care for Our Members

The capitated nature of our contracting with payers requires us to invest in maintaining our members’ health while prudently managing the medical costs of our members. Third-party medical costs and direct patient expense are our largest expense categories, representing 80.1% of our total operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2020. Our care model focuses on maintaining health and leveraging the primary care setting as a means of avoiding costly downstream healthcare costs, as evidenced by lower mortality rates (2.36% mortality rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare fee-for-service benchmark of 4.3%, which represents a 45% improvement), fewer hospital stays (160 hospital admissions per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 370, which represents a 57% improvement) and fewer emergency room visits (445 emergency room visits per thousand members for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Medicare benchmark of 1,091, which represents a 59% improvement). Our members, however, retain the freedom to seek care at emergency rooms or hospitals without the need for referrals; we do not restrict their access to care. Therefore, we are liable for potentially large medical claims should we not effectively manage our members’ health. To mitigate this exposure, we utilize stop-loss insurance for our members, protecting us from medical claims per episode in excess of certain levels.

Significant Acquisitions

We supplement our organic growth through our highly accretive acquisition strategy. We have a successful acquisition and integration track record. We have established a rigorous data-driven approach and the necessary infrastructure to identify, acquire and quickly integrate targets.

The acquisitions have all been accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and the operations of the acquired entities are included in our historical results for the periods following the closing of the acquisition. See Note 3 “Business Acquisitions” and Note 17 “Subsequent Events” in the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The most significant of these acquisitions impacting the comparability of our operating results were:

 

   

Belen. On September 3, 2019, we acquired Belen Medical Centers, LLC and related entities, or Belen, for total consideration of $110.0 million consisting of $63.1 in cash, $7.0 million of the Company’s Class A-4 Units and $39.9 million in deferred payments. Belen is comprised of three primary care centers serving populations in the Miami-Dade and southern Broward areas of Florida.

 

   

Primary Care Physicians. On January 2, 2020, we acquired Primary Care Physicians and related entities, or PCP, for total consideration of $60.2 million, consisting of $53.6 million in cash,

$4.0 million of Class A-4 Units and $2.6 million in other closing payments. PCP is comprised of eleven primary care centers and a managed services organization serving populations in the Broward County region of South Florida.

 

   

Healthy Partners. On June 1, 2020 we acquired HP Enterprises II, LLC and related entities, or Healthy Partners, for total consideration of $195.4 million, consisting of $149.3 million in cash, $30.0 million of Class A-4 Units and $16.1 million in deferred payments. Healthy Partners is comprised of sixteen primary care centers and a management services organization serving populations across Florida, including the Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Treasure Coast and Central Florida areas.

Member Acuity and Quality Metrics

Medicare pays capitation using a risk adjusted model, which compensates payers based on the health status, or acuity, of each individual member. Payers with higher acuity members receive a higher payment and those with lower acuity members receive a lower payment. Moreover, some of our capitated revenues also include adjustments for performance incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain clinical quality metrics as contracted with payers. Our capitated revenues are recognized based on projected member acuity and quality metrics and are subsequently adjusted to reflect actual member acuity and quality metrics. Our ability to accurately project and recognize member acuity and quality metric adjustments are affected by many factors. For instance, Medicare requires that a member’s health issues be documented annually regardless of the permanence of the underlying causes. Historically, this documentation was required to be completed during an in-person visit with a member. As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, Medicare is allowing documentation for conditions identified during video visits with members. However, given the disruption caused by COVID-19, it is unclear whether we will be able to document the health conditions and quality metrics of our members as comprehensively as we did in prior years, which may adversely impact our capitated revenue. Similarly, our ability to accurately project member acuity and quality metrics may be more limited in the case of medical centers operating in new markets or which were recently acquired.

Seasonality to Our Business

Our operational and financial results experience some variability depending upon the time of year in which they are measured. This variability is most notable in the following areas:

Medical Costs

Medical costs vary seasonally depending on a number of factors. Typically, we experience higher utilization levels during the first quarter of the year. Medical costs also depend upon the number of business days in a period. Shorter periods will have lesser medical costs due to fewer business days. Business days can also create year-over-year comparability issues if one year has a different number of business days compared to another. Additionally, we accrue stop loss reimbursements from September through December which can result in reduced medical expenses during the fourth quarter due to recoveries.

Organic Member Growth

We experience the largest portion of our organic member growth during the first quarter, when plan enrollment selections made during the prior Annual Enrollment Period, or AEP, from October 15 through December 7 of the prior year take effect. We also add members throughout the year, including during Special Enrollment Periods when certain eligible individuals can enroll in Medicare Advantage midyear.

Per-Member Capitated Revenue

We experience some seasonality with respect to our per-member revenue, which generally declines over the course of the year. In January of each year, CMS revises the risk adjustment factor for each member based upon

 

334


Table of Contents

health conditions documented in the prior year, leading to an overall change in per-member premium. As the year progresses, our per-member revenue declines as new members join us, typically with less complete or accurate documentation (and therefore lower risk adjustment scores).

Key Performance Metrics

In addition to our GAAP and non-GAAP financial information, we review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.

Members

Members represent those patients for whom we receive a fixed per member per month fee under capitation arrangements as of the end of a particular period.

Medical Centers

We define our medical centers as those primary care medical centers open for business and attending to members at the end of a particular period in which we own the medical operations and the physicians are our employees.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world led to the shutdown of cities as national, state, and local authorities implemented social distancing, quarantine and self-isolation measures. Many such restrictions remain in place, and some state and local governments are re-imposing certain restrictions due to the increasing rates of COVID-19 cases. The virus disproportionately impacts older adults, especially those with chronic illnesses, which describes many of our patients.

In response to COVID-19, we remained open and augmented our Cano at Home program, 24/7 urgency line and pharmacy home delivery to enable members to access needed care and support in the home. We successfully pivoted to a telemedicine offering for routine care in order to protect and better serve our patients, staff and community. Our centers remained open for urgent visits and necessary procedures. As COVID-19 cases grew nationally, we took immediate action and deployed a specific COVID-19 focused module under CanoPanorama that allowed our staff to screen patients for COVID-19 and related complications, as well as refer them to a specialized team that is dedicated to helping COVID-19 patients. The pandemic did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2020. This is primarily attributable to the relatively fixed nature of our capitated revenue arrangements. Over 95% of our total gross revenues are recurring, consisting of fixed monthly per-member-per-month capitation payments we receive from healthcare providers. Additionally, during this time, we completed and integrated several acquisitions and expanded to new locations which had a positive impact on our revenues. Due to our recurring contracted revenue model, we experienced minimal impact to our revenue during 2020.

We experienced both cost increases and cost savings due to COVID-19. Increases in operating expenses were primarily attributable to higher-than-budgeted payroll expenses, pharmacy prescription expenses, provider payments, rent, and marketing expenses. Deeply committed to our employees, we made a conscious decision not to furlough any of our employees, even if their function was disrupted by COVID-19. These higher costs were

 

335


Table of Contents

partially offset by lower referral fees, vehicle expenses, IT costs, professional fees, office and facility (ER) costs, and travel costs. We did experience a decrease in utilization of services during March through June of 2020. Medical centers were open for emergency visits, but we also expanded our at-home care services, resulting in lower emergency transportation costs, and facility service costs (including costs related to various wellness and activity services offered at clinics). Even as utilization increased month to month through the third and fourth quarter of 2020, we expect certain costs savings to remain permanent as some members continue to take advantage of telemedicine and Cano@Home care services.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, future results of operations and financial condition will depend on future factors that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include, but are not limited to, new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the scope and duration of business closures and restrictions, government-imposed or recommended suspensions of elective procedures, and expenses required for supplies and personal protective equipment. Due to these and other uncertainties, we cannot estimate the length or severity of the impact of the pandemic on our business. Additionally, because of our business model, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial condition until future periods. We will continue to closely evaluate and monitor the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business, results of operations and liquidity. However, based on our experience from 2020, we expect the overall negative impact from COVID-19 on our business will be immaterial. In addition, we expect to offer more telemedicine and mobile solutions which will create additional touchpoints to timely capture member medical data which in turn provides actionable insights to empower better care decisions via our CanoPanorama system.

For additional information on the various risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Capitated revenue. Our capitated revenue is derived from fees for medical services provided at our medical centers or affiliated practices under capitation arrangements made directly with various health plans. Fees consist of a per-member-per-month (“PMPM”) amount paid on an interim basis for the delivery of healthcare services and our rates are determined as a percent of the premium the health plans receive from the CMS for our at-risk members. Those premiums are based upon the cost of care in a local market and the average utilization of services by the members enrolled. Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual patient. Groups with higher acuity patients receive more, and those with lower acuity patients receive less. Under the risk adjustment model, capitated premium is paid based on the acuity of members enrolled for the preceding year and subsequently adjusted once current year data is compiled. Our accrued revenue reflects the current period acuity of members. The amount of capitated revenue may be affected by certain factors outlined in the agreements with the health plans, such as administrative fees paid to the health plans and risk adjustments to premiums.

Generally, we enter into three types of capitation arrangements; non-risk arrangements, limited risk arrangements, and full risk arrangements. Under our non-risk arrangements, we receive monthly capitated payments without regard to the actual amount of services provided. Under our limited risk arrangements, we assume partial financial risk for covered members. Under our full risk arrangements, we assume full financial risk for covered members.

Fee-for-service and other revenue. We generate fee-for-service revenue from providing primary care services to patients in our medical centers when we bill the member or their insurance plan on a fee-for-service basis as medical services are rendered. While substantially all of our patients are members, we occasionally also provide care to non-members. Fee-for-service amounts are recorded based on agreed upon fee schedules determined within each contract.

 

336


Table of Contents

Other revenue consists of sales from our pharmacies. We contract with an administrative services organization to collect and remit payments on our behalf from the sale of prescriptions and medications. We have pharmacies at some of our medical centers, where customers may fill prescriptions and retrieve their medications. Patients also have the option to fill their prescriptions with a third-party pharmacy of their choosing.

Operating Expenses

Third-party medical costs. Third-party medical costs primarily consist of all medical expenses paid by the health plans (contractually on behalf of Cano) including costs for inpatient and hospital care, specialists, and certain pharmacy purchases associated with the resale of third-party medicines. Provider costs are accrued based on date of service to members, based in part on estimates, including an accrual for medical services incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). Liabilities for IBNR are estimated using standard actuarial methodologies including our accumulated statistical data, adjusted for current experience. These estimates are continually reviewed and updated and we retain the services of an independent actuary to review IBNR on an annual basis. We expect our third-party medical costs to increase given the healthcare spending trends within the Medicare population and the increasing disease burden of our patients as they age which is also consistent with what we indirectly receive (through capitated revenue) from CMS.

Direct patient expense. Direct patient expense primarily consists of costs incurred in the treatment of our patients, at our medical centers and affiliated practices, including the compensation related to medical service providers and technicians, medical supplies, purchased medical services, and drug costs for pharmacy sales.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses include employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits, technology infrastructure, operations, clinical and quality support, finance, legal, human resources, and corporate development departments. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include all corporate technology and occupancy costs. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase over time following the closing of the business combination due to the additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs that we will incur as a public company, as well as other costs associated with continuing to grow our business. However, we anticipate these expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period due to the timing and amount of these expenses. For purposes of determining center-level economics, we allocate a portion of our selling, general and administrative expenses to our medical centers and affiliated practices. The relative allocation of these expenses to each center depends upon a number of metrics, including (i) the number of centers open during a given period of time; (ii) the number of clinicians at each center at a given period of time; or (iii) if determinable, the center where the expense was incurred.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital investment and consist of fixed asset depreciation and amortization of intangibles considered to have finite lives.

Transaction costs and other. Transaction costs and other primarily consist of deal costs, including due diligence, integration, legal, internal staff, and other professional fees, incurred from acquisition activity and bonuses due to sellers.

Fair value adjustment — contingent consideration. Fair value adjustment — contingent consideration consists primarily of changes to contingent consideration due to sellers in connection with our acquisitions. Contingent consideration is revalued at each reporting period.

Management fees. Management fees consist of fees for financial and management consulting services from our advisory services agreement.

Other Expenses

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings under our notes payable related to our equipment loans and credit facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Costs incurred to obtain debt financing are amortized and shown as a component of interest expense.

Interest income. Interest income consists of interest earned through a loan agreement with an affiliated company.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt primarily consists of legal and prepayment fees, unamortized debt issuance costs, and a gain on the derecognition of an embedded derivative related to certain term loans in connection with our debt refinancing arrangement.

Fair value adjustment — embedded derivative. Fair value adjustment — embedded derivative consists primarily of changes to an embedded derivative identified in our debt agreement. The embedded derivative is revalued at each reporting period.

Other expenses. Other expenses consist of legal settlement fees.

Capitated revenue was $794.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $450.3 million, or 130.9%, compared to $343.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven by organic growth as we continued to increase the number of members served in our existing centers and expanded into the Nevada and Texas markets. Additionally, the increase was attributable to our

acquisitions of Healthy Partners and Primary Care Physicians which resulted in the addition of new members across additional counties in Florida.

Fee-for-service and other revenue. Fee-for-service and other revenue was $35.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $14.7 million, or 71.9%, compared to $20.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in fee-for-service revenue was attributable primarily to our acquisition of Primary Care Physicians in the first quarter of 2020 and an increase in patients served across existing centers. The increase in pharmacy revenue was driven by the opening of two new pharmacies during the first quarter of 2020 and organic growth as we continued to increase the number of members served in our established pharmacies. We expect to continue making investments in our pharmacy business as this is a key component of the services we provide to our patients and plan to open new facilities in other states.

Third-party medical costs. Third-party medical costs were $565.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $323.9 million, or 134.3%, compared to $241.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was consistent with our revenue growth and primarily driven by a 155% increase in total members.

Direct patient expense. Direct patient expense was $102.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $59.3 million, or 137.8%, compared to $43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was consistent with our organic growth during the period and driven by increases in payroll and benefits of $25.5 million, pharmacy drugs of $9.7 million, medical supplies of $2.3 million and provider payments of $21.8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $104.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $44.8 million, or 75.8%, compared to $59.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven by higher salaries and benefits of $23.9 million, occupancy costs of $8.2 million, marketing expenses of $4.2 million, IT infrastructure costs of $3.2 million, and other costs of $5.3 million. These increases were incurred to support the continued growth of our business and expansion into other states.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $11.7 million, or 171.2%, compared to $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven by purchases of new property and equipment to support the growth of our business as well as the addition of several new brand names, non-compete agreements, and payor relationships from our 2020 acquisitions.

Transaction costs and other. Transaction costs and other were $42.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $25.4 million, or 148.3%, compared to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was as a direct result of higher integration, legal, internal staff, and other professional fees incurred from our acquisition activities during 2020.

Fair value adjustment — contingent consideration. Fair value adjustment — contingent consideration was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 97.7%, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to a change in the fair value of contingent consideration due to sellers in connection with our acquisitions.

Management fees. Management fees were $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $0.5 million, or 114.5%, compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to higher fees for financial and management consulting services.

The increase was primarily driven by interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings under our credit facility to fund our acquisitions.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $23.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due to the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the refinancing of Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 with Term Loan 3 in the fourth quarter of 2020, which included legal and prepayment fees and unamortized debt issuance costs related to Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 and a gain on the derecognition of the embedded derivative related to Term Loan 2.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

To date, we have financed our operations principally from notes payable, term loan borrowings and a revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $33.8 million and $29.2 million, respectively. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash primarily consist of highly liquid investments in money market funds and cash. Since our inception, we have generated significant operating losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $99.9 million as of December 31, 2020 and negative cash flows from operations.

 

341


Table of Contents

We expect to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to continue to make in acquisitions, expansion of operations, and due to additional selling, general and administrative costs we expect to incur in connection with operating as a public company. As a result, we may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.

After completion of this offering, the Company will be a holding company with no material assets other than its ownership of the PCIH Common Units and its managing member interest in PCIH. As a result, we will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. Our ability to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay dividends will depend on the financial results and cash flows of PCIH and the distributions it receives from PCIH. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of PCIH for any reason could limit or impair PCIH’s ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, to the extent that we need funds and PCIH is restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of any financing arrangements, or PCIH is otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. We anticipate that the distributions we will receive from PCIH may, in certain periods, exceed our actual tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Our Board, in its sole discretion, may make any determination from time to time with respect to the use of any such excess cash so accumulated, which may include, among other uses, to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. We will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than any declared dividend) to our stockholders. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.”

Dividends on our common stock, if any, will be paid at the discretion of our Board, which will consider, among other things, our available cash, available borrowings and other funds legally available therefor, taking into account the retention of any amounts necessary to satisfy our obligations that will not be reimbursed by PCIH, including taxes and amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement and any restrictions in then applicable bank financing agreements. Financing arrangements may include restrictive covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders. In addition, PCIH is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of PCIH (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. PCIH’s subsidiaries are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to PCIH. If PCIH does not have sufficient funds to make distributions, our ability to declare and pay cash dividends may also be restricted or impaired.

Under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement, we generally will be required to pay to the Seller, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “TRA Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement, 85% of the tax savings, if any, that we are deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent payments are made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we generally will be required to pay to JAWS Sponsor LLC, and to each other person from time to time that becomes a “Sponsor Party” under the Tax Receivable Agreement such Sponsor Party’s proportionate share of, an amount equal to such payments multiplied by a fraction with the numerator 0.15 and the denominator 0.85. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur. These payments are the obligation of the Company and not of PCIH. Any payments made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or PCIH and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us.

Table of Contents

We believe that following the Closing of the Business Combination, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could vary because of, and our future capital requirements will depend on, many factors, including our growth rate, medical expenses, and the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Litigation

We are exposed to various asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. We believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or the results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

The following discussion includes references to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA which are non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a performance metric that departs from GAAP because it excludes earnings components that are required under GAAP. Other companies may define non-GAAP financial measures differently and, as a result, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

By definition, EBITDA consists of net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to add back the effect of certain expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, de novo losses (consisting of losses incurred in the twelve months after the opening of a new facility), acquisition transaction costs (consisting of transaction costs, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, management fees and corporate development payroll costs), restructuring and other charges, fair value adjustments to an embedded derivative, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management to assess the operating and financial performance of our health centers in order to make decisions on allocation of resources.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures also provides additional information to investors regarding our results of operations and is useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. By excluding certain expenses and other items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results, these non-GAAP financial measures:

 

   

allow investors to evaluate our performance from management’s perspective, resulting in greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by us in our financial and operational decision making;

 

   

provide better transparency as to the measures used by management and others who follow our industry to estimate the value of our company; and

 

   

allow investors to view our financial performance and condition in the same manner that our significant lenders and landlords require us to report financial information to them in connection with determining our compliance with financial covenants.

Our use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

 

   

although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) the potentially dilutive impact of non-cash stock-based compensation; (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; or (4) net interest expense/income; and

 

   

other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

345


Table of Contents

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including net income, cash flow metrics and our GAAP financial results.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations to non-GAAP financial information:

Acquisition transaction costs included $388 and $326 of corporate development payroll costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We experienced a 4,965.2% decrease in EBITDA and a 156.2% increase in our Adjusted EBITDA between the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This was primarily related to our 2020 acquisition activity.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under the JOBS Act until we are no longer an emerging growth company. Our election to use the phase-in periods permitted by this election may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the longer phase-in periods permitted under the JOBS Act and who will comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. If we were to subsequently elect instead to comply with public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to the JOBS Act.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these

 

346


Table of Contents

financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCIH, its wholly-owned subsidiary Cano Health, LLC (“Cano”), and Cano’s subsidiaries which include Complete Medical Billing and Coding Services, LLC, Physicians Partners Group Merger, LLC, Physicians Partners Group of FL, LLC, PPG Puerto Rico Blocker, Inc., Physicians Partners Group Puerto Rico, LLC, Cano Health of Florida, LLC, Comfort Pharmacy, LLC, Belen Pharmacy Group, LLC, Comfort Pharmacy 2, LLC, Cano Health of West Florida, LLC, Cano Medical Center of West Florida, LLC, CH Dental Administrative Services, LLC., Cano Belen, LLC, Cano Occupational Health, LLC, Cano PCP Wound Care, LLC, American Choice Healthcare, LLC, Cano PCP, LLC, IFB Pharmacy, LLC, Cano Health of Florida, LLC, Cano PCP MSO, LLC, and Cano HP MSO, LLC.

Included in our consolidated results are variable interest entities Cano Health Texas, PLLC and Cano Health Nevada, PLLC. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses. Management considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below. Refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy/statement prospectus for more detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies.

Revenue

Revenue consists primarily of fees for medical services provided under capitated arrangements with health maintenance organizations’ (“HMOs”) health plans. Capitated revenue also consists of revenue earned through Medicare Advantage as well as through commercial and other non-Medicare governmental programs, such as Medicaid, which is captured as other capitated revenue. As we control the healthcare services provided to enrolled members, we act as the principal and the gross fees under these contracts are reported as revenue and the cost of provider care is included in third-party medical costs. Additionally, since contractual terms across these arrangements are similar, we group them into one portfolio.

Capitated revenues are recognized in the month in which we are obligated to provide medical care services. The transaction price for the services provided is variable and depends upon the terms of the arrangement provided by or negotiated with the health plan and include PMPM rates that may fluctuate. The rates are risk adjusted based on the health status (acuity) of members and demographic characteristics of the plan. The fees are paid on an interim basis based on submitted enrolled member data for the previous year and are adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled by the CMS.

Third-Party Medical Costs

Third-party medical costs primarily consist of all medical expenses paid by the health plans, including inpatient and hospital care, specialists, and medicines. Provider costs are accrued based on date of service to members, based in part on estimates, including an accrual for medical services incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). Actual claims expense will differ from the estimated liability due to factors in estimated and actual member utilization of health care services, the amount of charges, and other factors. Liabilities for IBNR are estimated using standard actuarial methodologies, including our accumulated statistical data, adjusted for current experience. These actuarially determined estimates are continually reviewed and updated, however, as the

amount of unpaid service provider cost is based on estimates, the ultimate amounts paid to settle these liabilities might vary from recorded amounts and these differences may be material.

We have included IBNR claims of approximately $54.5 million and $20.0 million on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st or more frequently if triggering events occur or other impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability. These events or circumstances would include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale, disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level and we have identified a single reporting unit.

ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) allows entities to first use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by determining whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. When we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of expected future cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, the difference would be recognized as an impairment loss. There was no impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our intangibles consist of trade names, brand, non-compete, and customer, payor, and provider relationships. We amortize intangibles using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible, which ranges from 1 through 20 years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in conjunction with long-lived assets.

The determination of fair values and useful lives require us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired capitation arrangements from a market participant perspective, discount rates, industry data and management’s prior experience. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

Equity-Based Compensation

ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) requires the measurement of the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value or, in certain circumstances, the calculated value of the award. Under our unit-based incentive plan, we may reward employees with various types of awards, including but not limited to profits interests on a service-based or performance-based schedule. These awards may also contain market conditions. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. We use the Black-Scholes pricing option model to estimate the fair value of each award as of the grant date.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure due to potential changes in inflation or interest rates. We do not hold financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. Our primary market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates on our three term loans (“Term Loan 1”, “Term Loan 2”, and “Term Loan 3”) under our Credit Facility.

Borrowings under Term Loan 1 bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (7.5% as of extinguishment on November 23, 2020 and 6.3% as of December 31, 2019). Borrowings under Term Loan 2 bear cash interest at a rate of 5.0%, payable quarterly, in addition to interest paid in-kind (“PIK”) of 11.5% per annum. Following the issuance of Term Loan 3, we prepaid Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 on November 23, 2020, which resulted in our legal relief from all obligations under Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2. Term Loan 3 consists of an Initial Term Loan and Revolving Facility which have a stated interest rate of 5.5%. The effective interest rate for the Initial Term Loan is 6.2%.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the total amount of outstanding debt under the Term Loans subject to interest rate fluctuations was $480.0 million and $134.7 million, respectively. Based on the amount outstanding, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates over a twelve-month period would result in a change to interest expense of $4.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Inflation Risk

Based on our analysis of the periods presented, we believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF CANO HEALTH

As an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies” as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, which require compensation disclosure for its principal executive officer and its two other most highly compensated executive officers. References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company” and “Cano Health”, generally refer PCIH prior to the Business Combination and to the Company following the Business Combination.

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program offered to the executive officers of PCIH who would have been “named executive officers” for 2020 and who will serve as executive officers of the Company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Such executive officers consist of the following persons, referred to herein as our named executive officers (the “NEOs”):

 

   

Dr. Marlow Hernandez, our Chief Executive Officer;

 

   

Dr. Richard Aguilar, our Chief Clinical Officer; and

 

   

David Armstrong, our General Counsel.

Each of Dr. Hernandez, Dr. Aguilar, and Mr. Armstrong will serve the Company in the same capacities after the closing of the Business Combination.

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that the Company adopts following the closing of the Business Combination could vary significantly from our historical practices and currently planned programs summarized in this discussion.

2020 Summary Compensation Table

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Base Salaries

We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. Base salaries are reviewed annually, typically in connection with our annual performance review process, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the annual base salaries for each of Dr. Marlow Hernandez, Dr. Richard Aguilar, and Mr. David Armstrong were $350,000, $275,000 and $235,000, respectively.

Annual Cash Bonuses

Each of our NEOs is eligible to earn a discretionary annual cash incentive bonus as determined by our board of directors in its discretion. For 2020, each of Dr. Hernandez, Dr. Richard Aguilar, and Mr. David Armstrong were eligible to earn a target bonus amount, which reflects a percentage of their annual base salaries, of [50]%, [20]% and [30]%, respectively.

Equity Compensation

Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company intends to grant annual equity awards to certain employees, including our NEOs. The annual equity awards will be comprised of restricted stock unit awards and/or stock options and will be granted under our 2021 Plan. The restricted stock units will be earned based on the achievement of certain corporate, financial performance objectives during a one year performance period and will vest and settle over the two year period following the end of the performance period. The stock options will vest and become exercisable over four years in equal annual installments following the vesting commencement date of such options.

Equity Grants in Connection with the Business Combination

We intend to grant equity awards to certain employees, including our NEOs in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The equity awards to our Named Executive Officers will be comprised of restricted stock unit awards and/or stock options and will be granted under our 2021 Plan. The restricted stock units will vest and settle over four years in equal annual installments following the closing of the Business Combination. The stock options will vest and become exercisable based on the achievement of certain stock performance objectives during the three year period following the closing of the Business Combination. We expect to grant an aggregate of [            ] restricted stock units, with Drs. Hernandez and Aguilar and Mr. Armstrong receiving [            ], [            ] and [            ] restricted stock units, respectively. We expect to grant options to purchase an aggregate of [            ] shares of common stock at exercise prices equal to the [the closing price of our common stock on the grant date], with Drs. Hernandez and Aguilar and Mr. Armstrong being granted options to purchase [            ], [            ] and [            ] shares of our common stock, respectively.

Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers

We initially entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs in connection with the commencement of their employment with us, which set forth the terms and conditions of each executive’s employment. Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, we intend to enter into new employment agreements that will supersede and replace each NEO’s existing employment agreement and provide for specified payments and benefits in connection with a termination of employment in certain circumstances. Our goal in providing these severance payments and benefits is to offer sufficient cash continuity protection such that the NEOs will focus their full time and attention on the requirements of the business rather than the potential implications for their respective positions. We prefer to have certainty regarding the potential severance amounts payable to the NEOs, rather than negotiating severance at the time that a NEO’s employment terminates. [We

 

351


Table of Contents

have also determined that accelerated vesting provisions with respect to outstanding equity awards in connection with a qualifying termination of employment in certain circumstances are appropriate to encourage our NEOs to stay focused on the business in those circumstances, rather than focusing on the potential implications for them personally.] The employment agreements with our NEOs will require the named executive officers to execute a separation agreement containing a general release of claims in favor of us to receive any severance payments and benefits. The material terms of each NEO’s existing employment agreements are summarized below.

Employment agreement with Dr. Marlow Hernandez

We entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Hernandez, dated December 23, 2016, pursuant to which we employ Dr. Hernandez as our Chief Executive Officer.

Amounts reported in the “Option Awards” column reflect outstanding Class B Units of the Seller granted during the 2020 fiscal year. The Class B Units are intended to constitute profits interests for federal income tax purposes. Despite the fact that the Class B Units do not require the payment of an exercise price, they are most similar economically to stock options. Accordingly, they are classified as “options” under the definition provided in Item 402(a)(6)(i) of Regulation S-K as an instrument with an “option-like feature”.

Represents an award of 22,500 Class B Units of Seller granted on August 24, 2018 with pre-issuance common value of $15.00. The units vest as to seventy-five percent (75%) of the units in four equal annual installments following the grant date and vest as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the units upon the consummation of a “sale of the company” (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Seller, or the Seller LLC Agreement). Contingent on the consummation of the Business Combination, all unvested units will vest immediately prior to Closing.

(3)

Represents an award of 4,000 Class B Units of Seller granted on April 29, 2020 with pre-issuance common value of $32.50. The units vest as to seventy-five percent (75%) of the units in four equal annual installments following the grant date and vest as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the units upon the consummation of a “sale of the company” (as defined in the Seller LLC Agreement). Contingent on the consummation of the Business Combination, all unvested units will vest immediately prior to Closing.

Employee Benefit and Equity Compensation Plans and Arrangements

Seller Profits Interest Awards

In order to incentivize and retain certain employees and other key service providers of Cano Health and its affiliates, we have granted Class B Units of Seller which are intended to enable such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of Cano Health. The Class B Units are a special class of common units structured to qualify as “profits interests” for tax purposes. Pursuant to the Seller LLC Agreement, up to 529,250 Class B Units of Seller have been reserved and authorized for issuance. As of December 31, 2020, there were 464,625 outstanding Class B Units of Seller, of which 118,895 were vested.

Class B Units of Seller provide unitholders with the right to receive a percentage of Seller’s future profits and distributions, subject to achievement of certain threshold pre-issuance common values as defined in the

 

353


Table of Contents

Seller LLC Agreement. The Class B Units of Seller generally vest seventy-five percent (75%) in equal annual installments over four years following the date of grant, and twenty-five percent (25%) upon a “sale of the company” as defined in the Seller LLC Agreement. Any Class B Units that are not vested on a termination of the unitholder’s business or other service relationship will be forfeited. Class B unitholders are entitled to participate in Seller’s distributions, subject to the return of capital contributions made by the common unitholders and certain other preferred distribution rights upon achieving the “pre-issuance common values” specified in the respective award. Contingent on the consummation of the Business Combination, all unvested Class B Units of Seller will vest immediately prior to Closing.

Employee Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Cano Health employee benefit plans, including Cano Health’s medical, dental, vision, group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, in each case, on the same basis as all of our other employees. Cano Health also maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, including the named executive officers, as discussed in the section below entitled “—401(k) plan.”

401(k) Plan

Cano Health maintains a retirement savings plan, or 401(k) plan, that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Under the Cano Health 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), eligible employees may defer eligible compensation subject to applicable annual contribution limits imposed by the Code. Cano Health’s employees’ pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and participants are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, Cano Health may make discretionary matching contribution equal to a uniform percentage of the individual’s salary deferrals , as well as profit sharing contributions, as determined by management. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) Plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) Plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) Plan.

Director Compensation of Cano Health

The following table sets forth compensation earned and paid to the non-employee members of Cano Health’s board of directors who will serve as a director of Jaws following the Business Combination during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, we did not pay any compensation, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other compensation to any of the non-employee members of our board of directors. Dr. Marlow Hernandez, our Chief Executive Officer, did not receive any compensation for his service as a member of our board of directors during 2020. Dr. Hernandez’ compensation for service as an employee for fiscal year 2020 is presented above under the heading “—2020 Summary Compensation Table.” In addition, we reimburse non-employee members of our board of directors for reasonable travel expenses, and for out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors or events attended on behalf of the Company.

Sternlicht (or his replacement) shall serve as a member of Class I, Elliot Cooperstone (or his replacement) shall serve as a member of Class II and Dr. Marlow Hernandez (or his replacement) shall serve as a member of Class III. Dr. Marlow Hernandez shall serve as Chairman of the Company Board after the Effective Time.

Director Independence

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s Class A common stock will be listed on the NYSE. Under the rules of the NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of the NYSE, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that company’s board of directors affirmatively determines that such person does not have a material relationship with the listed company. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of the NYSE, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the

 

359


Table of Contents

company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

The Company Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director of the Company has a material relationship with the Company that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, the Company anticipates that                 will be considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted Company common stock or Company warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) the Company is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the twelve months (or such shorter period as the Company was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted Company common stock shares or Company warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of the Company at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

1% of the total number of Company common stock then outstanding (as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Jaws has 86,250,000 ordinary shares outstanding); or

 

   

the average weekly reported trading volume of the Company common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of the Company under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

 

   

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

   

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

   

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

   

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, the Sponsor will be able to sell its Class B ordinary shares pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after Jaws has completed its initial business combination.

Jaws anticipates that following the completion of the Business Combination, the Company will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

The audit reports of MBAF on PCIH’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

Jaws is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If Jaws does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon Jaws.

366


Table of Contents

civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, Jaws may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against Jaws arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of Jaws’ securities by serving Jaws’ U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Jaws Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Jaws Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 27, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 27, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

JAWS ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Jaws Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 27, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 13, 2020. On May 18, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 69,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 9,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 10,533,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per warrant in a private placement to Jaws Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $15,800,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $37,748,594, consisting of $12,900,000 of underwriting fees (including an aggregate amount of $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters for application towards the Company’s offering expenses), $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $698,594 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 18, 2020, an amount of $690,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. So long as the Company’s securities are then listed on the NYSE, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020

 

Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable on the income earned) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will provide the holders of its issued and outstanding Public Shares (the “public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and only if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a shareholder meeting, are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not

complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares.

The Company will have until May 18, 2022 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per-share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured

at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, there are 66,020,114 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption that are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $37,748,594 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) the exercise of the over-allotment option and (iii) Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 33,533,333 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate.

The Company’s statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the Company’s balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 69,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 9,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On December 27, 2019, the Company issued one of its Class B ordinary shares, for no consideration. On January 17, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On April 24, 2020, May 8, 2020 and May 13, 2020, the Company effected share capitalizations resulting in the initial shareholders holding 17,250,000 Founder Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalizations. The Founder Shares included up to 2,250,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 2,250,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell their Founder Shares until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination and (ii) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased 10,533,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,800,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on May 13, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred and paid $80,000 in fees for these services.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 13, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 and the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $274,059 was repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 18, 2020.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Note 5 — Commitments

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on May 18, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the

 

F-14

Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $12,900,000, net of the $900,000 reimbursed by the underwriters to the Company for expenses incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $24,150,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On November 11, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Seller, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JAWS Merger Sub”), and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Primary Care”).

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the consummation of the following transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”): (a) the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), upon which the Company will change its name to “Cano Health”; (b) Primary Care will amend and restate its limited liability company agreement (the “Company A&R LLCA”) to, among other things, unitize the equity interests of Primary Care to permit the issuance and ownership of interests in Primary Care as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (c) following the effectiveness of the Company A&R LLCA, Merger Sub will merge with and into Primary Care (the “Merger”), with Primary Care as the surviving company in the Merger, and the Company shall be admitted as the managing member of Primary Care; (d) the Seller will receive a combination of cash consideration, certain newly issued equity interests of Primary Care and shares of newly issued Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, which will have no economic value, but will entitle the Seller to one vote per issued share and will be issued on a one-for-one basis for each membership unit in Primary Care (each, a “Company Unit”) retained by the Seller following the Business Combination; and (e) the Company will acquire certain newly issued equity interests of Primary Care in exchange for a cash contribution, which proceeds will be used to reduce existing indebtedness and fund Primary Care’s balance sheet for general corporate purposes. The Company A&R LLCA will provide the Seller the right to exchange its retained Company Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, for Class A common stock of the Company, subject to certain restrictions set forth therein.

The Business Combination will be consummated subject to the deliverables and provisions as further described in the Business Combination Agreement.

Note 6 — Shareholders’ Equity

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020, there were 2,979,886 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 66,020,114 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption. At December 31, 2019, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 17,250,000 and one Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law; provided that only holders of Class B ordinary shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination and holders of a majority of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as follows. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the consummation of a Business Combination at a ratio such that the total number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of this offering, plus the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any warrants issued in a private placement to the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor upon conversion of Working Capital Loans.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Public Warrant will be

exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty business days after the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

F-17


Table of Contents

JAWS ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020

 

   

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares;

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

   

if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of ordinary shares at a price below their exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price and the “Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the

exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable (except as described above under “Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable under all redemption scenarios by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

At December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $12,220 in cash and cash equivalents and $690,294,710, in U.S. Treasury Bills, which are held at amortized cost.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

   

Held-To-Maturity

  Level   Amortized
Cost
  Gross
Holding
Gain
  Fair Value
December 31, 2020   U.S. Treasury Securities (Matures on 1/5/2021)   1   $690,294,710   $5,290   $690,300,000

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Members and the Board of Directors of Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

 

1.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Nature of Business

Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”, or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on August 8, 2016 and had no substantial operating activity until December 23, 2016 (“date of inception”). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (“ITC Holdings”, or “Parent”).

The Company provides value-based medical care for its members through a network of primary care physicians across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The Company focuses on high touch population health and wellness services to Medicare Advantage members, particularly in underserved communities by leveraging a proprietary technology platform to deliver high-quality health care services, resulting in superior clinical outcomes at competitive costs. As of December 31, 2020, the Company provided services through its network of over 71 owned medical centers and over 222 providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants), and maintained affiliate relationships with over 500 physicians. The Company also operates pharmacies in the network for the purpose of providing a full range of managed care services to its members.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Cano Health, LLC (“Cano”), and Cano’s subsidiaries which include Complete Medical Billing and Coding Services, LLC, Physicians Partners Group Merger, LLC, Physicians Partners Group of FL, LLC, PPG Puerto Rico Blocker, Inc., Physicians Partners Group Puerto Rico, LLC, Cano Health of Florida, LLC, Comfort Pharmacy, LLC, Belen Pharmacy Group, LLC, Comfort Pharmacy 2, LLC, Cano Health of West Florida, LLC, Cano Medical Center of West Florida, LLC, CH Dental Administrative Services, LLC., Cano Belen, LLC, Cano Occupational Health, LLC, Cano PCP Wound Care, LLC, American Choice Healthcare, LLC, Cano PCP, LLC, IFB Pharmacy, LLC, Cano Health of Florida, LLC, Cano PCP MSO, LLC, Cano HP MSO, LLC.

The Company has interests in various entities and considers itself to control an entity if it is the majority owner of or has voting control over such entity. The Company also assesses control through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and determines which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Included in the Consolidated results of the Company are Cano Health Texas, PLLC and Cano Health Nevada, PLLC. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s coverage area is primarily in the State of Florida. Given this concentration, the Company is subject to adverse economic, regulatory, or other developments in the State of Florida that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions and operations. In addition, federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning healthcare affect the healthcare industry. The Company’s long-term success is dependent on the ability to successfully generate revenues; maintain or reduce operating costs; obtain additional funding when needed; and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The Company is not able to predict the content or impact of future changes in laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, however management believes that its existing cash position as of March 15, 2021 will be sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Intermediate Holdings is organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) wholly owned by its sole member, ITC Holdings. As such, no member or employee of the Company shall be held personally liable for debts, obligation, or liabilities of the Company that may arise from acts of omissions of any other member, director, manager, agent, or employee of the Company, unless the individual action or omission is governed by a specific provision in the Company’s operating agreement or other specific guarantee. As the Company has a single member, there are no differentiated classes of members’ interests, rights, preferences, or privileges and the Company has not issued different classes of units to ITC Holdings. The expenses incurred by ITC Holdings on behalf of the Company or contributions to the Company are recorded as contributions or distributions from members’ capital based on the dollar value of such contribution or distribution. The duration of the LLC is perpetual.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 (“ASC 606”). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, applying the full retrospective method as of the earliest period presented. The portfolio approach was used to apply the requirements of the standard to groups of contracts with similar characteristics.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer (i.e. patient). At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, management reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations must be satisfied and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company derives its revenue primarily from its capitated fees for medical services provided under capitated arrangement, fee-for-service, and revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical drugs.

Capitated care revenue is derived from fees for medical services provided by the Company under capitated arrangements with health maintenance organizations’ (“HMOs”) health plans. Capitated revenue consists of revenue earned through Medicare as well as through commercial and other non-Medicare governmental programs, such as Medicaid, which is captured as other capitated revenue. The Company is required to deliver healthcare services to the enrolled member population and is responsible for medical expenses related to healthcare services required by that patient group, including services not provided by the Company. Since the Company controls the healthcare services provided to enrolled members, the Company acts as a

principal. The gross fees under these contracts are reported as revenue and the cost of provider care is included in third-party medical costs. Neither the Company or any of its affiliates is a registered insurance company because state law in the states in which it operates does not require such registration for risk-bearing providers.

Since contractual terms across these arrangements are similar, the Company groups them into one portfolio. The Company identifies a single performance obligation to stand-ready to provide healthcare services to enrolled members. Capitated revenues are recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide medical care services. The transaction price for the services provided depends upon the pricing established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (“CMS”) and includes rates that are based on the cost of medical care within a local market and the average utilization of healthcare services by the members enrolled. The transaction price is variable since the rates are risk adjusted for projected health status (acuity) of members and demographic characteristics of the enrolled members. The risk adjustment to the transaction price is presented as the Medicare Risk Adjustment (“MRA”) within accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fees are paid on an interim basis based on submitted enrolled member data for the previous year and are adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled by the CMS.

In 2020, the Company entered into multi-year agreements with Humana to provide services at certain centers to members covered by Humana. The agreements contain an administrative payment from Humana in exchange for the Company providing certain care coordination services during the contract term. The care coordination payments are refundable to Humana on a pro-rata basis if the Company ceases to provide services at the centers within the specified contract term. The Company identified one performance obligation to stand-ready to provide care coordination services to patients and will recognize revenue in capitated revenue ratably over the contract term.

Fee-for-service revenue is generated from primary care services provided in the Company’s medical centers. During an office visit, a patient may receive a number of medical services from a healthcare provider. These healthcare services are not separately identifiable and are combined into a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes fee-for-service revenues at the net realizable amount at the time the patient is seen by a provider, and the Company’s performance obligations to the patient is complete.

Pharmacy revenues are generated from the sales of prescription medication to patients. These contracts contain a single performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue at the time the patient takes possession of the merchandise.

As the performance obligations from the Company’s revenues recognized at a point in time and the revenues recognized over time relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) which provides relief from the requirement to disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and the requirement to disclose when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. The Company has de minimis performance obligations remaining at the end of the reporting period as patients are not contractually obligated to continue to receive medical care from the network of providers.

Third-Party Medical Costs

Third-party medical costs primarily consists of all medical expenses paid by the health plans, including inpatient and hospital care, specialists, and medicines.

Direct Patient Expense

Direct patient expense primarily consists of costs incurred in the treatment of the patients, including the compensation related to medical service providers and technicians, medical supplies, purchased medical services, drug costs for pharmacy sales, and payments to third-party providers.

Third-party medical and direct patient expenses collectively represent the cost of services provided.

Significant Vendor

The Company’s primary provider of pharmaceutical drugs and pharmacy supplies accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s pharmaceutical drugs and supplies expense for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Concentration of Risk

Contracts with three of the HMOs accounted for approximately 69.8% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 and approximately 67.1% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. Contracts with three of the HMOs accounted for approximately 61.8% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately 44.1% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. The loss of revenue from these contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $0.3 million. At times, such cash balances may be in excess of insured amounts.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. During 2020, two health plans required the Company to maintain restricted cash balances for an aggregate amount of $0.6 million. These restricted cash balances are included within the caption cash and restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Inventory

Inventory consists entirely of pharmaceutical drugs and is valued at the lower of cost (under the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

Accounts Receivable, Net of Unpaid Service Provider Costs

Accounts receivable are carried at amounts the Company deems collectible. Accordingly, an allowance is provided in the event an account is considered uncollectible. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company believes no allowance is necessary. The ultimate collectability of accounts receivable may differ from amounts estimated. The period between the time when the service is performed by the Company and the fees are received is usually one year or less and therefore, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and did not adjust accounts receivable for the effect of a significant financing component.

Included in accounts receivable are Medicare Risk Adjustment (“MRA”) receivables which are derived from adjustments based on the health status of members and demographic characteristics of the plan. The health status of members are used to determine a risk score which is actuarially determined by comparing what was received from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and what should have been received based on the health status of the enrolled member. Our accounts receivable includes $18.1 million and $16.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for MRA receivables.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s accounts receivable are presented net of the unpaid service provider costs. A right of offset exists when all of the following conditions are met: 1) each of the two parties owed the other determinable amounts; 2) the reporting party has the right to offset the amount owed with the amount owed to the other party; 3) the reporting party intends to offset; and 4) the right of offset is enforceable by law. The Company believes all of the aforementioned conditions exist as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The foregoing reconciliation reflects a change in estimate during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to unpaid service provider costs of approximately $0.8 million. The change is primarily attributable to unfavorable claims development driven by higher than expected utilization levels. It also reflects a change of approximately $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is primarily attributable to unfavorable claims development driven by higher than expected utilization levels.

Unpaid Service Provider Cost

Provider costs are accrued based on the date of services rendered to members, based in part on estimates, including an accrual for medical services incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). Liabilities for IBNR are estimated using standard actuarial methodologies including the Company’s accumulated statistical data, adjusted for current experience. These actuarially determined estimates are continually reviewed and updated. Differences between estimated IBNR and actual amounts incurred are adjusted as an increase or decrease to service provider cost in the consolidated statement of operation in the period they become known.

The Company believes the amounts accrued to cover claims incurred and unpaid as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are adequate. However, as the amount of unpaid service provider cost is based on estimates, the ultimate amounts paid to settle these liabilities might vary from recorded amounts, and these differences may be material.

The Company maintains a provider excess loss insurance policy to protect against claim expenses exceeding certain levels that were incurred by the Company on behalf of members. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s excess loss insurance deductible was $0.1 million and maximum coverage was $2.0 million per member per calendar year. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded excess loss insurance premiums of $4.9 million and insurance reimbursements of $4.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded excess loss insurance premiums of $2.9 million and insurance reimbursements of $1.9 million. The Company recorded these amounts on a net basis in the caption third-party medical costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company records excess loss insurance recoveries in accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded insurance recoveries of $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Debt Discount and Issuance Costs and Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Debt discounts and debt issuance costs represent fees incurred by the Company in connection with securing funding from a lender. These are lender fees and third-party professional fees that would not have been incurred if the Company did not pursue and secure financing. In circumstances where an embedded derivative is bifurcated from a host credit agreement and recorded as a standalone instrument at fair value, the debt discount and debt issuance costs will reflect the initial fair value of such derivative. At inception of a credit agreement, these debt discounts and debt issuance costs are capitalized and presented net against the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Following recognition, they are amortized over the term of their related credit agreement through interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations via the interest method. In instances where there is no related debt drawn or outstanding, the debt discounts and debt issuance costs are presented in prepaid and other current assets and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had recorded capitalized debt discount and deferred issuance cost balances of $24.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as shown in Note 10. Of the balance as of December 31, 2020, $18.5 million is included in the caption notes payable, net of current portion and debt discount, $5.8 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $0.6 million in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The full balance as of December 31, 2019 is included in the caption notes payable, net of current portion and debt discount.

As described in Note 10, Term Loans 1 and 2 were prepaid by the Company on November 23, 2020. The Company’s prepayment of these Term Loans consisted of a cash payment to the lender for (1) the outstanding principal, (2) the outstanding accrued interest, and (3) legal and prepayment fees.

The loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.3 million consisted of (1) prepayment fees of $27.9 million, (2)

unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.2 million, (3) legal fees of $0.2 million, and (4) a gain on the derecognition of the embedded derivative of $7.0 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of $15.9 million, which includes $6.7 million related to normal course amortization of deferred financing costs, the derecognition of $2.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with Term Loan 1 and a $7.0 million loss from the derecognition of the Term Loan 2 embedded derivative and related unamortized deferred financing costs. The amortization of deferred financing costs is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the interest expense caption while the derecognition of the unamortized deferred financing costs is reflected in the loss on extinguishment of debt caption. Further information on the extinguishment of debt can be found in Note 10. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.5 million, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the interest expense caption.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company capitalizes asset purchases as well as major improvements that extend the useful life or add functionality in amounts greater than one thousand dollars. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the life of the assets, ranging from three to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of 15 years or the term of the lease.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising from acquisitions is a result of synergies that are expected to be derived from elimination of duplicative costs and the achievement of economies of scale. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between tests if events occur or circumstances exist that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performs its annual assessment on the first of October. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has identified a single reporting unit. First, the Company performs a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value and a quantitative impairment test is required. If required, the Company applies the quantitative test to identify and

measure the amount of impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, which the Company estimates on an income approach using the present value of expected future cash flows of the reporting unit to its carrying value.

The Company considered the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and the overall economy and resulting impact on its goodwill. As of October 1, 2020, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and did not identify impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Intangibles, Net

The Company’s intangibles consist of trade names, brand, non-compete, and customer, payor, and provider relationships. The Company amortizes its intangibles using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible, which ranges from 1 through 20 years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in conjunction with long-lived assets.

Deferred Rent

Minimum rent, including fixed escalations, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term commences when the Company takes possession of the leased premises and, in most cases, ends upon expiration of the initial non-cancelable term. When a lease provides for fixed escalations of the minimum rental payments during the lease term, the difference between the recorded straight-line rent and the amount payable under the lease is recognized as deferred rent obligation.

Professional and General Liability

As a healthcare provider, the Company is subject to medical malpractice claims and lawsuits. The Company may also be liable, as an employer, for the negligence of healthcare professionals it employs or the healthcare professionals it engages as independent contractors. To mitigate a portion of this risk, the Company maintains medical malpractice insurance, principally on a claims-made basis, with a reputable insurance provider. This policy contains a retroactive feature which covers claims incurred at the sites the Company operates, regardless if the claim was filed after the site’s respective policy term. The policy contains various limits and deductibles.

Loss contingencies, including medical malpractice claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company maintains a malpractice insurance policy with a coverage limit of $1.0 million per occurrence and $3.0 million aggregate coverage, with an umbrella policy coverage of $5.0 million. Any amounts over that threshold, or for which the insurance policy will not cover, will be borne by the Company and may materially affect the Company’s future consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has recorded claims liabilities of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in other liabilities. Insurance recoverables were immaterial as of December 31, 2020 and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2019, and are recorded in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs expensed totaled approximately $8.7 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in the caption selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Management Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences may be material. Significant estimates made by the Company include, but are not limited to, fair value allocations for intangible assets acquired as part of the Company’s numerous acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, fair value of contingent considerations, unpaid service provider cost liability, and respective revenues and expenses related to these estimates for the years reported.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world led to the shutdown of cities as national, state, and local authorities implemented social distancing, quarantine and self-isolation measures. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the business, future results of operations and financial condition will depend on future factors that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include, but are not limited to, new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the scope and duration of business closures and restrictions, government-imposed or recommended suspensions of elective procedures, and expenses required for supplies and personal protective equipment. Due to these and other uncertainties, management cannot estimate the length or severity of the impact of the pandemic on the business. Additionally, because of the Company’s business model, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in the Company’s results of operations and overall financial condition until future periods. Management will continue to closely evaluate and monitor the nature and extent of these potential impacts to the business, results of operations, and liquidity.

Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, generally would not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its members and taxed depending on the members’ tax situation. While the overall entity is treated as a partnership, the Company established in 2019 a subsidiary group that was taxed under Subchapter C with immaterial operations in 2019. The operations of the subsidiary group are conducted through a legal entity domiciled in Puerto Rico. The subsidiary group is subject to Puerto Rico and U.S. Federal taxes and Florida State taxes. Refer to Note 17 for further details.

The Company recognizes and measures tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.

The U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the State of Florida are the major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns. The Company is generally subject to U.S. Federal or State examinations by tax authorities for all years since inception.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, and ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”). ASC 842 establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASC 842 due to the recognition of right-of-use asset and related lease liability. The Company does not anticipate the update having a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, though such an effect is possible.

Under ASC 842, a modified retrospective transition approach is required, and entities may choose to use either the effective date or the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as the date of initial application, with certain practical expedients available. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted, and the Company expects to adopt the new standard on the effective date or the date it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets. The standard replaces the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The standard has been further refined through subsequent releases by the FASB, including the extension of the effective date. As amended by ASU No. 2019-10, the standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and the Company expects to adopt ASU on the effective date or the date it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”), which expands the scope of share-based compensation guidance to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The FASB has also issued an amendment to this update to include share-based payment awards granted to a customer. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which simplifies the fair value measurement disclosure requirements, including removing certain disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels and adds certain disclosures to related level 3 investments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (“Topic 810”) — Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The ASU creates a new private company accounting alternative in US GAAP that allows a private company to not apply the VIE guidance to legal entities under common control if both the common control parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities and other criteria are met. The new guidance also changes how all entities that apply the VIE guidance evaluate decision-making fees. For entities other than private companies, the guidance on decision-making fees is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The guidance is effective for private companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Term Loan 1

On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into Term Loan 1, which bore interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (7.5% as of extinguishment on November 23, 2020 and 6.3% as of December 31, 2019). Beginning on March 31, 2017, the Company was required to make quarterly principal payments, which escalated every two years, and a final payment was due on June 2, 2025.

Following the issuance of Term Loan 3, Term Loan 1 was prepaid by the Company on November 23, 2020, which resulted in the Company’s legal relief from all obligations under Term Loan 1. The Company’s prepayment of Term Loan 1 consisted of a cash payment to the lender for (1) the outstanding principal, (2) the outstanding accrued interest, and (3) legal and prepayment fees. The loss on extinguishment of debt caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations includes a prepayment fee of $3.8 million, legal fees of $0.2 million, and the derecognition of $2.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with Term Loan 1.

Term Loan 2

On June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with another lender for up to $130.0 million. Borrowings under Term Loan 2 bore cash interest at a rate of 5.0%, payable quarterly, in addition to interest paid in-kind (“PIK”) of 11.5% per annum. Principal and PIK interest were due at maturity of Term Loan 2, December 1, 2022.

Term Loan 2 contained specific features that required the Company pay the lender a make-whole amount in the event of a change in control of the Company or the issuance of additional debt by the Company (each a “make-whole event”). The make-whole amount was calculated as the present value of the scheduled interest between the date of a make-whole event and December 1, 2021 by utilizing a discount rate per annum equal to the United States Treasury securities rate three days prior to the date of the make-whole event plus 0.5%. These features met the criteria to be bifurcated from the host agreement as embedded derivatives under the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. At the time the Company entered into Term Loan 2, the likelihood of a make-whole event was deemed more than remote and the Company determined these features contained substantial value to the lender. As such, the derivatives were bifurcated from the host agreement and recorded at the fair value on June 1, 2020 of $51.3 million. The embedded derivatives and the host agreement together represented the combined principal and interest obligations of the Company to the lender. The Company presented the embedded derivatives together with the debt obligation in the consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair market value on embedded derivatives was $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the fair value adjustment—embedded derivative caption.

Following the issuance of Term Loan 3, Term Loan 2 was prepaid by the Company on November 23, 2020 which resulted in the Company’s legal relief from all obligations under Term Loan 2. The Company’s prepayment of Term Loan 2 consisted of a cash payment to the lender for (1) the outstanding principal, (2) the outstanding accrued interest, and (3) legal and prepayment fees. The loss on extinguishment of debt caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations includes a prepayment fee of $24.1 million, the incurrence of certain immaterial legal fees, the derecognition of $57.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, and the derecognition of the embedded derivative with a fair market value of $64.1 million resulting from the prepayment.

Term Loan 3

On November 11, 2020, Jaws, Merger Sub (“Jaws”), ITC Holdings, and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) that outlines the terms and conditions of a strategic transaction and merger (the “Transaction”). In conjunction with the Transaction with Jaws, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG (“Credit Suisse”) on November 23, 2020 under which Credit Suisse committed to extend credit to the Company in the amount of $685.0 million. The credit agreement consists of (1) an initial term loan in the amount of $480.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan” and “Term Loan 3”), (2) delayed draw term loans up to the aggregate amount of $175.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Commitments”), and (3) an initial revolving credit facility in the amount of $30.0 million (the “Initial Revolving Facility”).

Term Loan 3 represents the principal amount of $480.0 million funded to the Company on November 23, 2020 by Credit Suisse. The Delayed Draw Term Commitments represents a commitment from Credit Suisse to provide an aggregate amount of $175.0 million in additional term loans to the Company after November 23, 2020. The Company is allowed to request Delayed Draw Term Loans in amounts greater than $5 million at any time between November 23, 2020 and the earliest to occur of (1) November 23, 2021, (2) the closing date of the Transaction with Jaws, (3) the date upon which Credit Suisse meets the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Commitments amount via the issuance of Delayed Draw Term Loans, and (4) termination date of the credit agreement as triggered by event of default or otherwise. The maturity date of the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans is November 23, 2027.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee per annum (the “DDTL Ticking Fee”) on the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments, depending on the days elapsed after December 15, 2020 (the “Ticking Fee Start Date”). The DDTL Ticking Fee is calculated on a 360-day year and payable in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The DDTL Ticking Fee is as follows:

 

   

0% for the period commencing on the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 30 days thereafter.

 

   

50% of the applicable rate (as defined below in “Interest on the Initial Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loans, and Initial Revolving Facility”) for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar borrowings for the period commencing on the 31st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 60 days after the Ticking Fee Start Date.

 

   

100% of the applicable rate for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar borrowings for the period commencing on the 61st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date thereafter.

The Company is subject to principal repayments due in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount outstanding for the Initial Term Loan and each Delayed Draw Term Loan, as applicable based on the funding date of each Delayed Draw Term Loan if and when issued. Payments commence on March 31, 2021. The outstanding amount of unpaid principal and interest associated with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans is due on the maturity date of November 23, 2027. Prior to the maturity date, the Company may elect to prepay, in whole or in part, the Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loans at any time without penalty.

The Company is also subject to mandatory prepayments on the Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loans based on the occurrence of certain events after November 23, 2020 including, (1) an amount equal to a percentage between 50% and 0% of excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2021 based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (calculated as total consolidated debt secured by a lien on any collateral divided by consolidated adjusted EBITDA in accordance with GAAP) at December 31, 2021, due only if such

calculated amount is greater than $3 million, (2) an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received in excess of $3 million individually in any fiscal year, or $10 million in the aggregate, pertaining to the disposition of assets that are not reinvested in assets useful to the Company’s business within 18 months of the disposition date, (3) an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received from the issuance of indebtedness that is not intended to refinance the credit agreement with Credit Suisse, and (4) $400 million of the net cash proceeds received from the private placement (“PIPE”) of common stock of the Company after the Transaction with Jaws.

The Company maintains the right to choose between an applicable base rate (“ABR”) borrowing or a Eurodollar borrowing prior to the issuance of all credit by Credit Suisse. Interest is calculated on a 360-day year, or a 365-day year when Credit Suisse’s prime rate is utilized in an ABR borrowing, payable in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, and payable in arrears on the maturity date of each borrowing. Payments commence on March 31, 2021.

ABR borrowings are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) the greatest of (a) Credit Suisse’s prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the funds effective rate issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in effect on such day plus 0.5%, (c) the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR Rate”) for a one month interest period on such day, as adjusted via multiplication by the Credit Suisse’s statutory reserve rate and subject to a floor of 0.75% on the adjusted rate only for the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans, plus 1%, and (d) solely with respect to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans, 1.75%, plus (2) the applicable rate of (a) 3.75% from between November 23, 2020 to the closing date of the Transaction with Jaws and (b) 3.5% after the closing date of the Transaction with Jaws, provided that if the Company achieves a public corporate rating from S&P of at least B and a public credit rating from Moody’s of at least B2, then for as long as such rating remain in effect, a rate of 3.25% shall be applicable.

Eurodollar borrowings are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) the LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period on such day, as adjusted via multiplication by the Credit Suisse’s statutory reserve rate and subject to a floor of 0.75% on the adjusted rate only for the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans, plus (2) the applicable rate of (a) 5.25% as of November 23, 2020, which was amended to 4.75% subsequent to December 21, 2020 and (b) 4.5% after the closing date of the Transaction with Jaws, provided that if the Company achieves a public corporate rating from S&P of at least B and a public credit rating from Moody’s of at least B2, then for as long as such rating remain in effect, a rate of 4.25% shall be applicable. Prior to November 23, 2020, the Company elected to treat the Initial Term Loan and the Initial Revolving Facility as Eurodollar borrowings. The current stated interest rate for the Initial Term Loan and Initial Revolving Facility is 5.5%. The effective interest rate for the Initial Term Loan is 6.2%.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB ASC, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard are described as follows:

 

•  Level 1

   Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

•  Level 2

   Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
  

•  quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

  

•  quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

  

•  inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

  

•  inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

   If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•  Level 3

   Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to seller and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short maturities of such instruments. The $14.0 million in due to seller classified as long term is due within 13 months, and as such, its carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s debt using Level 2 inputs is approximately $474.0 million and $134.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following is a description of the valuation methodology used for liabilities measured at fair value.

Contingent Consideration: Valued at fair value applying a Monte Carlo Simulation - Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”) model and the estimated EBITDA for the next twelve months.

The preceding method described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodology or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Embedded Derivative: In calculating the valuation of the embedded derivative, the Company considered the present value of the cash flows over the term of the debt agreement as impacted by (1) the probability of a debt issuance or a change in control event occurring that would trigger a prepayment penalty to the lender, (2) the market interest rate of the debt agreement without the embedded derivative, and (3) the interest rate premium associated with the embedded derivative. The embedded derivative was entered into on June 1, 2020 and subsequently derecognized on November 23, 2020 when the Company refinanced its debt. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of the embedded derivative liability include the following significant unobservable inputs as of June 1, 2020 and November 23, 2020:

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Cano Health Texas, PLLC (“Cano Texas”) and Cano Health Nevada, PLLC (“Cano Nevada”), were established to employ healthcare providers, to contract with managed care payors, and to deliver healthcare services to patients in the markets that the Company serves. The Company evaluated whether it has a variable interest in Cano Texas and Cano Nevada, whether Cano Texas and Cano Nevada are VIEs, and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in Cano Texas and Cano Nevada. The Company concluded that it

 

F-52


Table of Contents

PRIMARY CARE (ITC) INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, LLC and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 and 2019

 

has variable interests in Cano Texas and Cano Nevada on the basis of its Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) which provides office space, consulting services, managerial and administrative services, billing and collection, personnel services, financial management, licensing permitting and credentialing, claims processing, in exchange for a service fee and performance bonuses payable to the Company. The MSA transfers substantially all the residual risks and rewards of ownership to the Company. Cano Texas and Cano Nevada’s equity at risk, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, Cano Texas and Cano Nevada are considered VIEs, and are not affiliates of the Company.

In order to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in Cano Texas and Cano Nevada, and, thus, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has i) the power to direct the activities of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entities that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from Cano Texas and Cano Nevada that could potentially be significant to it. The Company concluded that it may unilaterally remove the physician owners of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada at its discretion and is therefore considered to hold substantive kick-out rights over the decision maker of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada. Under the MSA, the Company is entitled to a management fee and a performance bonus that entitle the Company to substantially all of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada’s residual returns or losses, and is exposed to economics which could be significant to it. As a result, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada and therefore, consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations, and cash flows of these entities. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of Cano Texas and Cano Nevada on an ongoing basis to determine if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

InTandem is entitled to an annual fee equal to the greater of $0.3 million or 2% of EBITDA for the prior calendar year plus out of pocket expenses. In the event the Company completes an acquisition or is sold, an advisory fee of 2% of the enterprise value, as defined, will be due to InTandem. In addition, upon payment, an advisory fee equal to 2% of the deferred payment will be due to InTandem. The advisory services agreement will terminate upon the earlier of a sale of the Company or a material breach by InTandem of any of its obligations under the agreement.

Administrative Service Agreement

On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into a new Administrative Service Agreement between the Company and Dental Excellence Partners, LLC, who merged with four other entities. Dental Excellence Partners, LLC also licensed the Cano Dental trademark from the Company. The administrative fee is a monthly fixed amount per office for providing comprehensive management and related administrative services to the dental practices. During April 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to this agreement and modified the administrative fee. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized income from these agreements of approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was recorded within the caption fee-for-service and other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, no balance was due to the Company in relation to these agreements, and as of December 31, 2019, approximately $0.3 million was due and recorded in the caption accounts receivable.

As part of this agreement, the Company agreed to have Dental Excellence Partners, LLC provide dental services for managed care members of the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was charged approximately $2.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for these services.

Humana Relationships

In 2020 the Company and its Parent, ITC Holdings, entered into multi-year agreements with Humana and its affiliates whereby ITC Holdings entered into a note purchase agreement with Humana for a convertible note due October 2022 with aggregate principal of $60 million. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum through March 2020 and 10.0% per annum thereafter, payable in kind. The notes are convertible to Class A-4 units of the Parent at the option of Humana in the event the Parent and affiliates seek to consummate a sale transaction and may be settled in cash at the option of Humana. The Company is not subject to any obligations under the convertible notes, including payments of principal, interest, or fees under the terms of the instrument. As such, this instrument does not represent debt of the Company.

The Company licenses the use of Humana Affiliate Provider (“HAP”) clinics to provide services at the clinics. The agreements contain an administrative payment from Humana in exchange for the Company providing care coordination services over the term of the agreement. These payments are recognized as revenue ratably over the length of the term of the agreement and are refundable to Humana on a pro-rata basis if the Company ceases to provide care at the clinics during the specified service period in the agreements. We have identified one performance obligation to stand ready to provide care coordination services at the centers for the length of the term specified in the contracts.

The HAP Agreements also contain an arrangement for a license fee that is payable by the Company to Humana for the Company’s use of Humana owned or leased facilities to provide health care services. The agreement prohibits Cano from using the clinics for plans not sponsored by Humana. The license fee is a reimbursement to Humana for its costs of owning or leasing and maintaining the clinics, including rental payments, maintenance or repair expenses, equipment expenses, special assessments, cost of upgrades, taxes, leasehold improvements, and other expenses identified by Humana. The Company has not paid license fees to Humana during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020 the license, deferred revenue and deferred rent liability to Humana totaled $13.5 million. The Company also recorded $0.2 million in operating lease expense related to its use of Humana clinics in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Prior to entering into the agreements, the Company had existing payor relationships with Humana related to existing revenue arrangements within the Company. For the period that Humana was a related party to the Company in the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized in its consolidated statements of operations revenue from Humana, excluding its subsidiaries, of $240.0 million and associated third-party medical costs of $175.4 million.

Further, the Company has a right of first refusal with Humana on any sale, lease, license or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of assets, businesses, divisions or subsidiaries that constitute 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of, or any equity transaction (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, exchange offer, spinoff, split-off, reorganization or sale of securities) that results in a change of control of, PCIH, Seller, or the Company or its subsidiary, HP MSO, LLC.

Operating Leases

The Company leases several offices and medical spaces from certain employees and companies that are controlled by certain equity holders of ITC Holdings. Monthly rent payments in aggregate totaled approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and terminate between December 31, 2020 through June 2024.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has entered into various general contractor agreements with a company that is controlled by a family member of the CEO of Cano Health to perform leasehold improvements at various of the Company’s locations as well as various repairs and related maintenance as deemed necessary. Payments made pursuant to the general contractor agreements as well as amounts paid for repairs and maintenance to this related party totaled approximately $7.3 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On April 23, 2018, the Company advanced funds to an affiliated company Dental Excellence Partners, LLC in the amount of $4.5 million. The loan agreement calls for monthly interest-only payments to be received beginning May 1, 2018, and the entire outstanding principal balance shall be due and payable in full on April 23, 2023. The note receivable bears interest at 7.0%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.3 million of interest income related to this loan agreement. On December 17, 2020, Dental Excellence Partners made an early repayment of the outstanding balance to the Company. In connection with the settlement of this advance, the Company wrote-off $0.5 million, $0.4 million of which was due under the Administrative Service Agreement and $0.1 million was due for other services provided. As of December 31, 2019 the balance totaled $4.5 million.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2018, two executives of the Company obtained shares of the Parent, ITC Holdings, for a total amount of $0.4 million.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-Based Compensation

There were no equity-based compensation arrangements made during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Profits Interest Units

On September 30, 2017, the Parent’s Limited Liability Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) created class B units, called Profit Interest Units (“PIU”), to provide additional incentives to attract and retain qualified competent employees for the Company. The LLC agreement also allows for PIUs to be issued to non-employees. All grants of PIUs are required to be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Parent and must go through a vote of the Board of Directors to be approved The LLC Agreement defines the applicable vesting dates, conditions to vesting, and restrictions on transferability and any other restrictions for PIU’s. For Class B Units

granted, 75.0% of the grants vest evenly at a rate of 2.0833% per month over a four-year period and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The remaining 25.0% of the Class B Units granted vest only upon the consummation of the sale of the Company or its Parent. The PIU awards are accounted for using the fair value method, which requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all awards granted to the Company’s employees based upon the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period for each of Parent’s PIUs granted in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and a contribution of members’ capital.

The following is a summary of the class B units outstanding as of December 31, 2020:

The Company recorded compensation expenses of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, based upon the number of vested class B units.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Parent granted class B units to employees of the Company with a fair value of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     As of December 31,  
           2020            2019

     0.2%        1.6%

Discount for lack of Marketability

     30.1%        32.0 - 38.5%  

Expected dividend yield

             

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed treasury yield curve appropriate for the term of the related class B units. The expected life of class B units was calculated using the average of the contractual term of the option and the weighted-average vesting period of the class B unit, as the Company does not have sufficient history to use an alternative method to the simplified method to calculate an expected life for employees or non-employees. The Company has not paid a dividend and is not expected to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future. Expected volatility for the Company’s class B units was determined based on an average of the historical volatility of a peer group of similar public companies.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Vendor Agreement

The Company, through its subsidiaries Comfort Pharmacy, LLC, Comfort Pharmacy 2, LLC, and Belen Pharmacy Group, LLC entered into a multi-year Prime Vendor Agreement (“PVA”) with a pharmaceutical wholesaler, effective November 1, 2020, that continues through October 31, 2023. This agreement extends on a month-to-month basis thereafter until either party gives 90 days’ written notice to terminate. The pharmaceutical wholesaler serves as the Company’s primary wholesale supplier for branded and generic pharmaceuticals. The agreement contains a provision that requires average monthly net purchases of $0.8 million, and if the minimum is not met, the vendor may adjust the pricing of goods. A Joinder Agreement was entered into on December 1, 2020, which amended the PVA to include IFB Pharmacy, LLC under the agreement as of this date.

Prior to this, in early 2019 the Company was under an agreement through its subsidiaries Comfort Pharmacy, LLC and Comfort Pharmacy 2, LLC, with the same vendor that contained a provision which required minimum annual purchases of $3.6 million, and if the minimum was not met, the vendor may adjust the pricing of goods. On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a new agreement with the vendor that contained a provision which required minimum average monthly net purchases of $0.4 million, and if the minimum is not met, the vendor may adjust the pricing of goods. This agreement was replaced by the PVA discussed above.

Additionally, as a result of the Belen acquisition, the Company adopted the vendor agreement in 2019 that Belen, through its subsidiary Belen Pharmacy Group, LLC, had with the same pharmaceutical vendor. The agreement contained a provision which required minimum average monthly net purchases of $0.3 million, and if the minimum is not met, the vendor may adjust the pricing of goods. This agreement was replaced by the PVA discussed above.

Management believes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the minimum requirements of the agreements in place were met.

The effective tax rate for the period presented differs from the statutory U.S. tax rate. This is primarily due to the Company’s pass-through entity treatment for tax purposes. In addition, for the Company’s taxable subsidiary operations, the effective tax rate differs due to mainly state income taxes and Puerto Rico taxes. The remaining rate differences are immaterial.

Deferred taxes for the applicable subsidiary companies are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss and other tax credit carryforward. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.

As of December 31, 2020, $0.2 million of gross deferred tax assets are included in other assets, however the deferred tax assets are fully reserved through a valuation allowance. The Company does not anticipate the deferred tax assets will be utilized. As of December 31, 2020, $0.1 million of deferred tax liability is included in other liabilities.

Management continuously assesses the likelihood that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets generated will be realized. In making such determinations, all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and recent financial operations, are considered. In the event that management were to determine that the deferred income tax assets would be realized in the future for an amount equal to the net recorded amount, the valuation allowance and provision for income taxes would be adjusted.

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax positions (“UTPs”) as of December 31, 2020. While the Company currently does not have any UTPs, it is foreseeable that the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities may involve dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions across the Company’s operations. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”) states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. Upon identification of a UTP, the Company would (1) record the UTP as a liability in accordance with ASC 740 and (2) adjust these liabilities if/when management’s judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Ultimate resolution of UTPs may produce a result that is materially different from a Company’s estimate of the potential liability. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company would reflect these differences as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. The Company’s accounting policy under ASC 740-10 is to include interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the event a material uncertain tax position is booked in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. with Federal and State and local agencies, and in Puerto Rico. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local tax examinations for tax years starting in 2017. The Puerto Rico subsidiary group is subject to U.S. Federal, state and foreign tax examinations for tax years starting in 2019. The Company does not currently have any ongoing income tax examination in any of its jurisdictions. The Company has analyzed filing positions in the Federal, State, local and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe any tax uncertainties exist.

 

18.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company organizes its operations into one reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information and makes decisions about resource allocation based on their responsibility to deliver high quality primary medical care services to the Company’s patient population. For the periods presented, all of the Company’s revenues were earned in and all of the Company’s long lived assets were located in the United states.

 

19.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 15, 2021, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Management has concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Healthy Partners, Inc. was formed in 2011 and is organized as an S corporation. The company provides support and infrastructure to run the day to day business for both the management service organizations and medical practices. This includes functional divisions for medical/risk management, finance, business development, utilization, and operations.

HP Enterprises II, LLC was formed in 2017 and includes the following wholly-owned entities:

 

   

HP MSO LLC is a management service organization that holds managed care risk contracts with Humana.

 

   

HP CarePlus, LLC is a management service organization that has managed care risk contracts with CarePlus.

 

   

HP Primary Care, LLC owns and operates medical practices that are focused on providing primary care services. These wholly owned centers focus on Medicare Advantage plans for seniors.

Broward Primary Partners, LLC was formed in 2012 as a partnership between Bob Camerlinck and Brian Polner, MD. This entity is a management service organization that has managed care risk agreements with Humana.

Preferred Primary Care, LLC was formed in 2009 as a partnership between Bob Camerlinck and Raj Bansal, MD. This entity is a management service organization that has managed care risk agreements with Humana.

All of the businesses above provide healthcare services to patients throughout various locations in the state of Florida.

Healthy Partners, Inc. and HP Enterprises II, LLC are wholly owned by the same equity owner. That equity owner is also the managing member of both Broward Primary Partners, LLC and Preferred Primary Care, LLC. Because Broward Primary Partners, LLC and Preferred Primary Care, LLC were under common management with Healthy Partners, Inc. and HP Enterprises II, LLC for the five months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the financials statements of these entities are presented on a combined basis, collectively referred to as the Company in these combined financial statements. All material accounts and transactions among these entities have been eliminated.

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods. In the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of results and cash flows expected for the year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)

 

F-66

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

606 (“ASC 606”). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, applying the full retrospective method as of the earliest period presented. The portfolio approach was used to apply the requirements of the standard to groups of contracts with similar characteristics.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, revenue was recognized on an accrual basis as services were performed at their estimated net realizable value.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services the Company transfers to the customer (i.e. patient). At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, management reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations must be satisfied and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company derives its revenue primarily from its capitated fees for medical services provided under capitated arrangements and fee-for-service arrangements.

Capitated revenue is derived from fees for medical services provided by the Company under capitated arrangements with health maintenance organizations’ (“HMOs”) health plan. Capitated revenue primarily consists of revenue earned through Medicare Advantage programs. Fees consist of a fixed amount per patient per month and are paid in advance. The Company is required to deliver healthcare services to the enrolled member population and is responsible for medical expenses related to healthcare services required by that patient group, including services not provided by the Company. Since the Company controls the healthcare services provided to enrolled members, the Company acts as a principal. The gross fees under these contracts are reported as revenue and the cost of provider care is included in third-party medical costs. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is a registered insurance company because state law in the states in which it operates does not require such registration for risk-bearing providers.

Since contractual terms across these arrangements are similar, the Company groups them into one portfolio. The Company identifies a single performance obligation to stand-ready to provide healthcare services to enrolled members. Capitated revenues are recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide medical care services. The transaction price for the services provided depends upon the terms of the arrangement provided by or negotiated with the health plan. The rates are risk adjusted based on the health status of members and demographic characteristics of the plan. The fees are paid on an interim basis based on submitted enrolled member data for the previous year and are adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). Subsequent adjustments to revenue are recognized in the period the adjustments are communicated to the Company.

Fee-for-service revenue is generated from primary care services provided in the Company’s medical centers. During an office visit, a patient may receive a number of medical services from a healthcare provider. These healthcare services are not separately identifiable and are combined into a single performance obligation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company recognizes fee-for-service revenues at the net realizable amount at the time the patient is seen by a provider, and the Company’s performance obligations to the patient is complete.

As the performance obligations from the Company’s revenues recognized at a point in time and the revenues recognized over time relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) which provides relief from the requirement to disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and the requirement to disclose when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. The Company has de minimis performance obligations remaining at the end of the reporting period as patients are not contractually obligated to continue to receive medical care from the Company’s network of providers. The Company recorded no contract liabilities from contracts with customers in its combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 or May 31, 2020.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company determined that it had improperly presented certain amounts relating to stop-loss insurance in its combined statements of operations for the five-month period ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company has corrected the material misstatement by increasing capitated revenue and third-party medical costs by $12.7 million, respectively, for the five-month period ended May 31, 2020 and by $13.1 million, respectively, for the five-month period ended May 31, 2019. The correction of this misstatement did not impact net income as previously reported.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Application of this method of accounting requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed, generally, be measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill, which is subject to testing for impairment at least annually.

Concentration of Risk

Contracts with Humana and CarePlus accounted for approximately 98% of total revenues for the five months ended May 31, 2020 and approximately 95% of total accounts receivable as of May 31, 2020. Contracts with Humana and CarePlus accounted for approximately 98% of total revenues for the five months ended May 31, 2019 and approximately 93% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. The loss of revenue from these contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are carried at amounts the Company deems collectible. Accordingly, an allowance is provided in the event an account is considered uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and May 31, 2020, the Company believes no allowance was necessary. The ultimate collectability of accounts receivable may differ from that estimated by the Company.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s accounts receivable are presented net of the unpaid service provider costs. A right of offset exists when all of the following conditions are met: 1) each of the two parties owed the other determinable amounts; 2) the reporting party has the right to offset the amount owed with the amount owed to the other party; 3) the reporting party intends to offset; and 4) the right of offset is enforceable by law. The Company believes all of the aforementioned conditions exist as of December 31, 2019 and May 31, 2020. The following is a summary of the amounts included in accounts receivable, net as of May 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the life of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or term of the lease.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the

asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in accompanying combined statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or circumstances during the periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 that required the Company to perform an impairment test.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between tests if events occur or circumstances exist that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performs its annual assessment on the first of October. The Company is a single reporting unit and evaluates goodwill at the Company level. The Company first performs a qualitative analysis to determine if factors exist that necessitate a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If necessary, the Company applies the quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any. Any impairment would be recognized for the differences between the fair value of the reporting unit and its carrying amount. There were no events or circumstances during the periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 that indicated the Company was required to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Intangibles, Net

The Company performs an assessment of whether intangible assets are impaired if impairment indicators arise. Management believes no impairment charges are necessary for the five months ended May 31, 2020, and 2019. Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset, which is from 1 through 5 years.

Deferred Rent

Minimum rent, including fixed escalations, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term commences when the Company takes possession of the leased premises and, in most cases, ends upon expiration of the initial non-cancelable term. When a lease provides for fixed escalations of the minimum rental payments during the lease term, the difference between the recorded straight-line rent and the amount payable under the lease is recognized as a deferred rent obligation.

Professional and General Liability

As a healthcare provider, the Company is subject to medical malpractice claims and lawsuits. The Company may also be liable, as employer, for the negligence of healthcare professionals it employs or the healthcare professionals it engages as independent contractors. To mitigate a portion of this risk, the Company maintains medical malpractice insurance, principally on a claims-made basis, with a reputable insurance provider. This

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

policy contains extended reporting period endorsements which provide coverage for claims filed after the policy term. The policy contains various limits and deductibles.

Loss contingencies, including medical malpractice claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company maintains a malpractice insurance policy with a benefit limit of $250,000 per occurrence and $750,000 aggregate coverage for each of the physicians. Any amounts over that threshold, or for which the insurance policy will not cover, will be borne by the Company and may materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of May 31, 2020 and 2019, management believes no reserve for loss contingencies is necessary.

Management Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences may be material. Significant estimates made by the Company includes, but are not limited to, fair value allocations for intangible assets acquired as part of the Company’s numerous acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, fair value of contingent considerations, unpaid service provider cost liability, and respective revenues and expenses related to these estimates for the periods reported.

Income Taxes

Healthy Partners, Inc. is an S-Corporation and passes income, losses deductions and credits through to its shareholders. As an S-Corporation Healthy Partners, Inc. does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits.

HP Enterprises II, LLC is treated as an S-Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and passes income, losses deductions and credits through to its shareholders. Accordingly, it does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits.

Broward Primary Partners LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its members and taxed depending on the members’ tax situation.

Preferred Primary Care LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its members and taxed depending on the members’ tax situation.

As a result, the combined financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic

 

F-71


Table of Contents

HEALTHY PARTNERS, INC, HP ENTERPRISES II, LLC,

BROWARD PRIMARY PARTNERS, LLC, AND PREFERRED PRIMARY CARE, LLC

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

842, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, and ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. The new standard establishes a right of use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting Topic 842 due to the recognition of right-of-use asset and related lease liability. The Company does not anticipate the update having a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, though such an effect is possible.

A modified retrospective transition approach is required, and entities may choose to use either the effective date or the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as the date of initial application, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is evaluating the method of adoption it will elect. Topic 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted, and the Company expects to adopt the new standard on the effective date.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets. The standard replaces the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The standard has been further refined through subsequent releases by the FASB, including the extension of the effective date. As amended by ASU No. 2019-10, the standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and the Company expects to adopt ASU on the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This standard provides clarification on the definition of a business and provides guidance on whether transactions should be recorded as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard was effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 250)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and redefines the concept of impairment from a measure of loss when comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount, to a measure comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. As amended by ASU No. 2019-10, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard for its impairment tests beginning in the year ended December 31, 2018.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which simplifies the fair value measurement disclosure requirements, including removing certain disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels and adds certain disclosures to related level 3 investments.

for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements..

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). This ASU reduces the cost and complexity of financial reporting associated with consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). A VIE is an organization in which consolidation is not based on a majority of voting rights. The new guidance supersedes the private company alternative for common control leasing arrangements issued in 2014 and expands it to all qualifying common control arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which serves to remove or amend certain requirements associated with the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal year beginning December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or                  liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

   

Level 2     Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

 

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

 

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

 

 

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

 

inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

        If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be         observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

   

Level 3     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value                  measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodology used for liabilities measured at fair value.

Contingent Consideration: Valued at fair value applying a Monte Carlo Simulation, considering the Company’s performance projections, the volatility of those projections, market multiples and the probability of liquidity event dates.

The preceding method described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodology or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Members and Board of Directors of Healthy Partners, Inc., HP Enterprises II, LLC, Broward Primary Partners, LLC, and Preferred Primary Care, LLC

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Healthy Partners, Inc., HP Enterprises II, LLC, Broward Primary Partners, LLC, and Preferred Primary Care, LLC, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related combined statements of operations, owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Healthy Partners, Inc., HP Enterprises II, LLC, Broward Primary Partners, LLC, and Preferred Primary Care, LLC at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Healthy Partners, Inc. was formed in 2011 and is organized as an S corporation. The company provides support and infrastructure to run the day to day business for both the management service organizations and medical practices. This includes functional divisions for medical/risk management, finance, business development, utilization, and operations.

HP Enterprises II, LLC was formed in 2017 and includes the following wholly-owned entities:

 

   

HP MSO LLC is a management service organization that holds managed care risk contracts with Humana and Avmed.

 

   

HP CarePlus, LLC is a management service organization that has managed care risk contracts with CarePlus.

 

   

HP Primary Care, LLC owns and operates medical practices that are focused on providing primary care services. These wholly owned centers focus on Medicare Advantage plans for seniors.

Broward Primary Partners, LLC was formed in 2012 as a partnership between Bob Camerlinck and Brian Polner, MD. This entity is a management service organization that has managed care risk agreements with Humana.

Preferred Primary Care, LLC was formed in 2009 as a partnership between Bob Camerlinck and Raj Bansal, MD. This entity is a management service organization that has managed care risk agreements with Humana.

All of the businesses above provide healthcare services to patients throughout various locations in the state of Florida.

Healthy Partners, Inc. and HP Enterprises II, LLC are wholly owned by the same equity owner. That equity owner is also the managing member of both Broward Primary Partners, LLC and Preferred Primary Care, LLC. Because Broward Primary Partners, LLC and Preferred Primary Care, LLC were under common management with Healthy Partners, Inc. and HP Enterprises II, LLC for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the financials statements of these entities are presented on a combined basis, collectively referred to as the Company in these combined financial statements. All material accounts and transactions among these entities have been eliminated.

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 (“ASC 606”). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, applying the full retrospective method as of the earliest period presented. The portfolio approach was used to apply the requirements of the standard to groups of contracts with similar characteristics.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, revenue was recognized on an accrual basis as services were performed at their estimated net realizable value.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services the Company transfers to the customer (i.e. patient). At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, management reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations must be satisfied and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company derives its revenue primarily from its capitated fees for medical services provided under capitated arrangements and fee-for-service arrangements.

Capitated revenue is derived from fees for medical services provided by the Company under capitated arrangements with health maintenance organizations’ (“HMOs”) health plan. Capitated revenue primarily consists of revenue earned through Medicare Advantage programs. Fees consist of a fixed amount per patient per month and are paid in advance. The Company is required to deliver healthcare services to the enrolled member population and is responsible for medical expenses related to healthcare services required by that patient group, including services not provided by the Company. Since the Company controls the healthcare services provided to enrolled members, the Company acts as a principal. The gross fees under these contracts are reported as revenue and the cost of provider care is included in third-party medical costs. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is a registered insurance company because state law in the states in which it operates does not require such registration for risk-bearing providers.

Since contractual terms across these arrangements are similar, the Company groups them into one portfolio. The Company identifies a single performance obligation to stand-ready to provide healthcare services to enrolled members. Capitated revenues are recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide medical care services. The transaction price for the services provided depends upon the terms of the arrangement provided by or negotiated with the health plan. The rates are risk adjusted based on the health status of members and demographic characteristics of the plan. The fees are paid on an interim basis based on submitted enrolled member data for the previous year and are adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). Subsequent adjustments to revenue are recognized in the period the adjustments are communicated to the Company.

Fee-for-service revenue is generated from primary care services provided in the Company’s medical centers. During an office visit, a patient may receive a number of medical services from a healthcare provider. These healthcare services are not separately identifiable and are combined into a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes fee-for-service revenues at the net realizable amount at the time the patient is seen by a provider, and the Company’s performance obligations to the patient is complete.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND DECEMBER 31, 2018

 

As the performance obligations from the Company’s revenues recognized at a point in time and the revenues recognized over time relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) which provides relief from the requirement to disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and the requirement to disclose when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. The Company has de minimis performance obligations remaining at the end of the reporting period as patients are not contractually obligated to continue to receive medical care from the Company’s network of providers. The Company recorded no contract liabilities from contracts with customers in its combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2019.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company determined that it had improperly presented certain amounts relating to stop-loss insurance in its combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has corrected the material misstatement by increasing capitated revenue and third-party medical costs by $30.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019 and by $25.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The correction of this misstatement did not impact net income as previously reported.

Third-Party Medical Costs

Third-party medical costs primarily consists of all medical expenses paid by the health plans, including inpatient and hospital care, specialists, and medicines. The Company uses stop-loss insurance to protect against medical claims in excess of certain levels.

Direct Patient Expense

Direct patient expense primarily consists of costs incurred in the treatment of the patients, including the compensation related to medical service providers and technicians, medical supplies, purchased medical services, drug costs for pharmacy sales, and payments to third-party providers.

Third-party medical and direct patient expenses collectively represent the cost of services provided.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Application of this method of accounting requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed, generally, be measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill, which is subject to testing for impairment at least annually.

Concentration of Risk

Contracts with Humana and CarePlus accounted for approximately 98% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately 93% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. Contracts with Humana and CarePlus accounted for approximately 97% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 and approximately 95% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018. The loss of revenue from these contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are carried at amounts the Company deems collectible. Accordingly, an allowance is provided in the event an account is considered uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company believes no allowance was necessary. The ultimate collectability of accounts receivable may differ from that estimated by the Company.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s accounts receivable are presented net of the unpaid service provider costs. A right of offset exists when all of the following conditions are met: 1) each of the two parties owed the other determinable amounts; 2) the reporting party has the right to offset the amount owed with the amount owed to the other party; 3) the reporting party intends to offset; and 4) the right of offset is enforceable by law. The Company believes all of the aforementioned conditions exist as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The following is a summary of the amounts included in accounts receivable, net as of December 31.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the life of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or term of the lease.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the

asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in accompanying combined statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or circumstances during the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 that required the Company to perform an impairment test.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between tests if events occur or circumstances exist that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performs its annual assessment on the first of October. The Company is a single reporting unit and evaluates goodwill at the Company level. The Company first performs a qualitative analysis to determine if factors exist that necessitate a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If necessary, the Company applies the quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of impairment, if any. Any impairment would be recognized for the differences between the fair value of the reporting unit and its carrying amount. There were no events or circumstances during the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 that indicated the Company was required to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Intangibles, Net

The Company performs an assessment of whether intangible assets are impaired if impairment indicators arise. Management believes no impairment charges are necessary for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset, which is from 1 through 5 years.

Deferred Rent

Minimum rent, including fixed escalations, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term commences when the Company takes possession of the leased premises and, in most cases, ends upon expiration of the initial non-cancelable term. When a lease provides for fixed escalations of the minimum rental payments during the lease term, the difference between the recorded straight-line rent and the amount payable under the lease is recognized as a deferred rent obligation.

Professional and General Liability

As a healthcare provider, the Company is subject to medical malpractice claims and lawsuits. The Company may also be liable, as employer, for the negligence of healthcare professionals it employs or the healthcare professionals it engages as independent contractors. To mitigate a portion of this risk, the Company maintains medical malpractice insurance, principally on a claims-made basis, with a reputable insurance provider. This

policy contains extended reporting period endorsements which provide coverage for claims filed after the policy term. The policy contains various limits and deductibles.

Loss contingencies, including medical malpractice claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company maintains a malpractice insurance policy with a benefit limit of $250,000 per occurrence and $750,000 aggregate coverage for each of the physicians. Any amounts over that threshold, or for which the insurance policy will not cover, will be borne by the Company and may materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, management believes no reserve for loss contingencies is necessary.

Management Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences may be material. Significant estimates made by the Company includes, but are not limited to, fair value allocations for intangible assets acquired as part of the Company’s numerous acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, fair value of contingent considerations, unpaid service provider cost liability, and respective revenues and expenses related to these estimates for the years reported.

Income Taxes

Healthy Partners, Inc. is an S-Corporation and passes income, losses deductions and credits through to its shareholders. As an S-Corporation Healthy Partners, Inc. does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits.

HP Enterprises II, LLC is treated as an S-Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and passes income, losses deductions and credits through to its shareholders. Accordingly, it does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits.

Broward Primary Partners LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its members and taxed depending on the members’ tax situation.

Preferred Primary Care LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, does not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its members and taxed depending on the members’ tax situation.

As a result, the combined financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842

was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, and ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. The new standard establishes a right of use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting Topic 842 due to the recognition of right-of-use asset and related lease liability. The Company does not anticipate the update having a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, though such an effect is possible.

A modified retrospective transition approach is required, and entities may choose to use either the effective date or the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as the date of initial application, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is evaluating the method of adoption it will elect. Topic 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted, and the Company expects to adopt the new standard on the effective date.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets. The standard replaces the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The standard has been further refined through subsequent releases by the FASB, including the extension of the effective date. As amended by ASU No. 2019-10, the standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and the Company expects to adopt ASU on the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This standard provides clarification on the definition of a business and provides guidance on whether transactions should be recorded as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard was effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 250)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and redefines the concept of impairment from a measure of loss when comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount, to a measure comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. As amended by ASU No. 2019-10, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard for its impairment tests beginning in the year ended December 31, 2018.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which simplifies the fair

value measurement disclosure requirements, including removing certain disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels and adds certain disclosures to related level 3 investments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). This ASU reduces the cost and complexity of financial reporting associated with consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). A VIE is an organization in which consolidation is not based on a majority of voting rights. The new guidance supersedes the private company alternative for common control leasing arrangements issued in 2014 and expands it to all qualifying common control arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which serves to remove or amend certain requirements associated with the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal year beginning December 15, 2021 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 18, 2021, which is the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. Please refer to NOTE 12 for further discussion related to the rapidly growing outbreak of novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the acquisition of the Company by Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC.

Prior to the January 26, 2018 transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in RPMC as an equity method investment.

As of January 26, 2018 the carrying value of the Company’s investment was $36,844 and the fair value was $7,787,041. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity investment was recognized as a gain in the statements of operations as Gain on Equity Investment.

The purchase price for the remaining 50% equity interest was $7,797,041. The purchase price includes a $10,000 cash payment at closing and the fair value of contingent consideration of $7,787,041. The contingent consideration is based on the relative value of RPMC to the overall value of the Company upon a liquidation event. The contingent consideration was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, considering the Company’s

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

   

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

 

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

 

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

 

 

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

 

inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

   

Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodology used for liabilities measured at fair value.

Contingent Consideration: Valued at fair value applying a Monte Carlo Simulation, considering the Company’s performance projections, the volatility of those projections, market multiples and the probability of liquidity event dates.

The preceding method described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodology or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

With the possibility of widespread infection in the United Stated and abroad, national, state, and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed or are considering quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. The Company has been classified as an essential business and has been allowed to remain open. The pandemic did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows in 2020. This is primarily attributable to the relatively fixed nature of the managed care arrangements.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND DECEMBER 31, 2018

 

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, future results of operations and financial condition will depend on future factors that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include, but are not limited to, new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the scope and duration of business closures and restrictions, government-imposed or recommended suspensions of elective procedures, and expenses required for supplies and personal protective equipment. Due to these and other uncertainties, management cannot estimate the length or severity of the impact of the pandemic on our business. However, based on experience so far, it is expected that the overall negative impact from COVID-19 on our business will be immaterial.

On June  1, 2020 the assets of Healthy Partners, Inc., HP Enterprises II, LLC, Broward Primary Partners, LLC and Preferred Primary Care, LLC were acquired by Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Cano”) for approximately $195,200,000. The purchase price included approximately $165,200,000 of cash and 923,076 Class  A Units of Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, valued at $30,000,000. The sale to Cano resulted in the final determination of the contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of RPMC and PVMC of $8,628,778 and $4,423,100, respectively. The Company paid $7,765,900 and $3,980,790 to the sellers of RPMC and PVMC, with the remainder placed in escrow to be paid in the future.

Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 9.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 9.4 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party (on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or support any litigation, cause of action, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Company Refinancing Debt Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York (and the appellate courts thereof), and that the provisions of Section 9.15 relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such litigation, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim.

Section 9.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to

 

A-75


Table of Contents

consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 9.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of JAWS, filed with the SEC (File Nos. 333-237874 and 333-238241) on May 18, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). Each of the Seller and the Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that JAWS has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of JAWS’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by JAWS’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and JAWS may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of JAWS entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of it Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between JAWS or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with JAWS or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with JAWS or its Affiliates).

Section 9.19 Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the JAWS Parties and each of its Representatives thereof (a) hereby waives any claims or rights against any Company Refinancing Debt Source relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Company Refinancing Debt and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, (b) hereby agrees not to bring or support any suit, action or proceeding against any Company Refinancing Debt Source in connection with this Agreement, the Company Refinancing Debt and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and (c) hereby agrees to cause any suit, action or proceeding asserted against any Company Refinancing Debt Source by or on behalf of the JAWS Parties or any of its Representatives thereof in connection with this Agreement, the Company Refinancing Debt and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.19 shall limit the assertion by any Group Company of express rights of such Group Company set forth in any debt commitment letter or other definitive documentation related to the Company Refinancing Debt.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Jaws Acquisition Corp.

1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800

Miami Beach, Florida 33139

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Jaws”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Jaws, Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”) and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming a subsidiary of Jaws, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (such merger, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, Jaws is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, following the Domestication (as defined below) and prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of Jaws’ common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, Jaws is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with the Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), severally and not jointly, pursuant to which the Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction, inclusive of the Shares subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 80,000,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price, in which the Company raises an aggregate of $800,000,000.

Prior to the closing of the Transaction (and as more fully described in the Transaction Agreement), Jaws will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Domestication”). The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and Jaws acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Jaws the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s subscription for the Shares shall be deemed to be accepted by Jaws only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of Jaws; Jaws may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and

 

A-85


Table of Contents

Confidential

 

substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction. Upon (a) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below and (b) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Jaws to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Jaws reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to Jaws, three (3) business days prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Jaws in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, Jaws shall issue a number of Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor (or its nominee) or as otherwise directed by the Investor, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), on Jaws’ share register; provided, however, that Jaws’ obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent upon Jaws having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts are open for the general transaction of business. In the event the Closing Date does not occur within one business day after the expected closing date set forth in the Closing Notice, Jaws shall promptly (but not later than two business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled.

3. Closing Conditions.

a. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is subject to the following conditions:

(i) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) no suspension of the offering or sale of the Shares shall have been initiated or, to Jaws’ knowledge, threatened by the SEC; and

(iii) (A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions under the Transaction Agreement which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement) or waived and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing.

b. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), the obligation of Jaws to consummate the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) as of such date), and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Investor of each of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date.

In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), the obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) that all representations and warranties of Jaws contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) and the representation and warranty contained in Section 5(k), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by Jaws of each of the representations and warranties of Jaws contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date and (ii) Jaws shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Subscription Agreement to have been performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to Closing.

4. Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

5. Jaws Representations and Warranties. Jaws represents and warrants to the Investor that:

a. Jaws is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction).

c. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Jaws and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against Jaws in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

d. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by Jaws with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Jaws or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Jaws or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Jaws or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Jaws is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Jaws and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Jaws to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Jaws or its subsidiaries; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Jaws or its subsidiaries or any of their properties that would reasonably

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Jaws to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

No Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Investor than the Investor hereunder, and such Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended or modified in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.

n. Jaws acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and the Investor effecting a pledge of Shares shall not be required to provide Jaws with any notice thereof; provided, however, that neither Jaws, the Company or their respective counsels shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Shares are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by Jaws in all respects.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to Jaws that:

a. The Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

b. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to Jaws or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect and, as a result, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not be immediately eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.

c. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from Jaws. The Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by or on behalf of Jaws, the Company, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Jaws expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement.

d. The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

e. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to Jaws, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

f. The Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and Jaws, the Company or a representative of Jaws or the Company, and the Shares were offered to

the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and Jaws, the Company or a representative of Jaws or the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Jaws, the Company, the Placement Agent, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of Jaws contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Jaws.

g. The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in Jaws’ filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in Jaws. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

i. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning Jaws, the Company, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

j. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

k. The Investor, if not an individual, has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

l. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Jaws, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,

 

A-91

fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

m. The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (each, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.

n. No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC or any of its affiliates (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

o. Neither the Placement Agent, nor any of its affiliates nor any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing have made any independent investigation with respect to Jaws, the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by Jaws.

p. In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, the Placement Agent has not acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

q. The Investor has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment to Jaws pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

r. The Investor acknowledges that the purchase and sale of Shares hereunder meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1).

s. The Investor acknowledges that Placement Agent may have acquired, or during the term of the Shares may acquire, non-public information with respect to Jaws, which the Investor agrees, subject to requirements under applicable law, need not be provided to it.

7. Registration Rights.

a. In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, Jaws agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Deadline”), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof (or one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies Jaws that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) ten (10) business days after Jaws is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration

Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”). Jaws agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for Jaws to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (the earliest of (i)–(iii) being the “Expiration”). The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to Jaws upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that Jaws may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, provided, that (A) Jaws shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period, (B) Jaws shall have a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public and (C) Jaws shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Jaws’ obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to Jaws such information regarding the Investor, the securities of Jaws held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by Jaws to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Jaws may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided, however, that the Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. Jaws will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. So long as the Investor delivers to Jaws a completed questionnaire (which shall include representations and warranties as to relevant matters), the Investor shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Jaws to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Jaws of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7.

b. Prior to the Expiration, Jaws shall advise the Investor within three (3) business days (at Jaws’s expense): (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by Jaws of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (provided that any such notice pursuant to this Section 7(b)(iv) shall solely provide that the use of the Registration Statement or prospectus has been suspended without setting forth the reason for such suspension). Jaws shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon

 

A-93

as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, except for such times as Jaws is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a registration statement, Jaws shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Investor agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares using a Registration Statement until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above in clause (iv) and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Jaws that it may resume such offers and sales. If so directed by Jaws, the Investor will deliver to Jaws or, in the Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (x) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

c. Prior to the Expiration, Jaws will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. For as long as the Investor holds Shares, Jaws will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). In addition, in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Shares by the Investor pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the Securities Act such that the Shares held by the Investor become freely tradable and upon compliance by the Investor with the requirements of this Subscription Agreement, if requested by the Investor, Jaws shall cause the transfer agent for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”) to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within two (2) trading days of any such request therefor from the Investor, provided that Jaws and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Investor customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Jaws and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Investor by Jaws and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Jaws and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of Jaws’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, the Investor may request that Jaws remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Shares following the earliest of such time as such Shares (i) (x) are subject to or (y) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision without the requirement for Jaws to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions applicable to the sale or transfer of such Shares. If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Shares pursuant to the foregoing, Jaws shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from the Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares. Jaws shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

d. Indemnification.

(i) Jaws agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Jaws by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless Jaws, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Jaws (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,

 

A-95


Table of Contents

liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such contribution obligation.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Company to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) Jaws’ notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction, (d) July 11, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date, or (e) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(e) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Jaws shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to Jaws in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that Jaws is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Jaws and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Jaws’ prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated May 13, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Jaws’ assets consist of the cash proceeds of Jaws’ initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Jaws, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Jaws’ initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Jaws to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Jaws entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of any Class A Shares other than the Class A Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided that the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of the Investor or an affiliate thereof); provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder.

b. Jaws may request from the Investor such additional information as Jaws may deem necessary to register the resale of the Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with the Investor’s internal policies and procedures; provided that Jaws agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential except (i) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which Jaws’ securities are listed for trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide Jaws with such requested information, Jaws may not be able to register the Investor’s Shares for resale pursuant to Section 7 hereof. The Investor acknowledges that Jaws may file a form of this Subscription Agreement that does not identify the Investor with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of Jaws.

c. The Investor acknowledges that Jaws, the Placement Agent and, following the Closing, the Company, will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other parties hereto and the Placement Agent if any of their respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 or Section 6, as applicable, above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case such party shall notify the other parties and the Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). Each party acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor, and each sale by Jaws, of Shares from Jaws will constitute a reaffirmation of their respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

d. Jaws, the Company and the Placement Agent are each irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 10(d) shall not give the Company or the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of Jaws set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

e. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

f. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that no modification or waiver by Jaws of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any

abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

g. This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT

SUPPLEMENTARY TERM SHEET

Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company, (“JAWS”), Jaws Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JAWS Sponsor”), Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Midco LLC”), and holders of interests in Midco LLC will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”). The TRA will have terms substantially similar, mutatis mutandis, as that certain Tax Receivable Agreement listed on Schedule I(a) (the “Precedent TRA”), except that the modifications below will apply to the TRA. For purposes of the TRA, (i) JAWS will be the “Corporate Taxpayer” (as defined in the Precedent TRA), (ii) Midco LLC will be “OpCo” (as defined in the Precedent TRA), (iii) units of Midco LLC will be “Units” (as defined in the Precedent TRA), and (iv) as appropriate, JAWS Sponsor will be treated as a “TRA Party” (as defined in the Precedent TRA).

[Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have meanings assigned to such terms in the [Business Combination Agreement / the Precedent TRA.]]

 

Structure

Immediately prior to the Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition (as defined below), OpCo is classified as an entity disregarded as separate from Parent for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

  In connection with the Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition (as defined below), the Corporate Taxpayer will purchase from Parent Units in a transaction that is treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as a transaction governed by Situation 1 in Revenue Ruling 99-5, 1999-6 I.R.B. 8. As a result of such treatment, (i) the Corporate Taxpayer will be treated as having acquired a proportionate share of each of the assets of OpCo directly from Parent with a cost basis determined under Section 1012 of the Code (the “Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition”), and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Corporate Taxpayer and Parent will be treated as having contributed their respective interests in those assets to OpCo in exchange for Units (the “Deemed Initial Contribution”).

 

  The Corporate Taxpayer will be the managing member of OpCo. Therefore, references to the party listed on Schedule I(b) in the Precedent TRA will be ignored.

 

  As set forth in the [Material Terms of the Second Amended and Restated Company LLC Agreement], OpCo will elect to use the “traditional method” of allocations for purposes of Section 704(c) of the Code in respect of property contributed, or deemed contributed, to OpCo in connection with the transactions contemplated by the [Business Combination Agreement], including the Deemed Initial Contribution.1

 

  [Parent will contribute the rights and obligations Parent obtains under the TRA with respect to the Initial Common Basis to an entity treated

as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, and Parent will transfer the interests in such grantor trusts to [holders of interests] in Parent (the “Initial Exempted Transfers”).]

 

Certain Definitions

The term “Tax Attributes” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that it will not include “Remedial Allocations,” and references to “Remedial Allocations” will be removed. References to Exhibit B in the Precedent TRA will be removed.

 

  The term “Common Basis” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that it will also include Tax basis of Reference Assets that are depreciable or amortizable for United States federal income tax purposes that are acquired or deemed acquired by OpCo in the Deemed Initial Contribution (the “Initial Common Basis”).

 

  The term “Attributable” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that the Common Basis that is Initial Common Basis will be “Attributable” to Parent, determined based upon the ratio of the Units acquired by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to the Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition and the Deemed Initial Contribution to the total outstanding Units immediately after such deemed acquisition and deemed contribution.

 

  The term “Exchange” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that it will also include the Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition, and the term “Exchanging Holder” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that it will also include Parent as the seller in the Deemed Initial Asset Acquisition. In addition, the term “Exchange” (as well as the other terms of the TRA) will be adjusted to reflect the distribution of all or a portion of Parent’s OpCo Units to Parent’s equityholders.

 

  The term “Reference Asset” will be defined as in the Precedent TRA, except that it will also include an asset of OpCo, or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries treated as a partnership or disregarded entity (but only to the extent such indirect Subsidiaries are held through Subsidiaries treated as partnerships or disregarded entity) for purpose of the applicable Tax, acquired or deemed acquired in the Deemed Initial Contribution.

 

References Ignored

References in the Precedent TRA to the terms and matters listed on Schedule I(c) will be removed.

 

TRA Party Representatives:

Payment to JAWS Sponsor:

In connection with any payment otherwise due under the TRA (other than any Interest Amounts which will be determined separately), JAWS Sponsor will receive an amount equal to such payment multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is .15 and the denominator of which is .85. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment due to JAWS Sponsor shall not reduce or replace any

payment otherwise due to any other TRA Party. In addition, any such payment to JAWS Sponsor will not be treated as giving rise to Basis Adjustments.

 

Expenses:

The TRA Parties will share in the expenses of administering the TRA, including reasonable expenses of an accounting firm mutually agreeable to the TRA Party Representative and JAWS Sponsor, in proportion to the payments received under the TRA.

WHEREAS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number and type of Equity Securities of the Seller set forth on Schedule A hereto (together with any other units or other Equity Securities of the Seller that the Supporting Seller Unitholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject Seller Units”);

WHEREAS, in consideration for the benefits to be received by the Supporting Seller Unitholder under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a material inducement to JAWS agreeing to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Supporting Seller Unitholder agrees to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that JAWS would not have entered into and agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement without the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement.

contemplated by Section 5.12(b) (Transaction Support Agreements; Seller Unitholder Approval; Subscription Agreements) of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 1(a), prior to the Closing, the Supporting Seller Unitholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units against and withhold consent with respect to (A) any Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach of any of the Seller’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or (y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.

(b)     Without limiting any other rights or remedies of JAWS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder hereby irrevocably appoints JAWS or any individual designated by JAWS as the Supporting Seller Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of the Supporting Seller Unitholder, to attend on behalf of the Supporting Seller Unitholder any meeting of the Seller Unitholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Subject Seller Units in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Seller Unitholders, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Seller Unitholders or any action by written consent by the Seller Unitholders (including the Seller Unitholder Written Consent), in each case, in the event that the Supporting Seller Unitholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a).

(c)     The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for JAWS entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Supporting Seller Unitholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder with respect to the Subject Seller Units. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(b) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Seller Units and a vote or consent by the Supporting Seller Unitholder of the Subject Seller Units (or any other Person with the power to vote the Subject Seller Units) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Supporting Seller Unitholder may vote the Subject Seller Units on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

2.    Other Covenants and Agreements.

(a)    The Supporting Seller Unitholder shall be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto, and (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.5(a) (Exclusive Dealing) and Section 9.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto.

(b)     The Supporting Seller Unitholder acknowledges and agrees that JAWS is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement JAWS would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

  otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such option or warrant.

The redemption of such Shares, except Public Shares, shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of such Shares. With respect to redeeming or repurchasing the Shares:

 

  (a)

Members who hold Public Shares are entitled to request the redemption of such Shares in the circumstances described in the Business Combination Article hereof;

 

  (b)

Class B Shares held by the Founders shall be surrendered by the Founders for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full so that the number of Class B Shares will equal 20 per cent of the issued Shares after the IPO; and

 

  (c)

Public Shares shall be repurchased by way of tender offer in the circumstances set out in the Business Combination Article hereof.

 

8.2

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member. For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions, repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in the Article above shall not require further approval of the Members.

Variation of Rights of Shares

 

10.1

Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

 

10.2

For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

 

10.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

 

11

Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

Lien on Shares

 

13.1

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

 

13.2

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

 

13.3

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

 

13.4

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Call on Shares

 

14.1

Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

14.3

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

14.4

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

 

14.5

An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

14.6

The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

 

14.7

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

 

14.8

No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

 

15

Forfeiture of Shares

 

15.1

If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

15.2

If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

15.3

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

 

15.5

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

15.6

The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

16

Transmission of Shares

 

16.1

If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

 

16.2

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

 

16.3

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or

Class B Share Conversion

 

17.1

The rights attaching to all Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article and the Appointment and Removal of Directors Article hereof) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the Conversion Rights referred to in this Article.

 

17.2

Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder thereof; and (b) automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination.

 

17.3

Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued, by the Company in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the closing of a Business Combination at an adjusted ratio so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 per cent of the sum of: (a) the total number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO, plus (b) the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Equity-linked Securities or rights issued, or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, its Affiliates or any Director or Officer upon conversion of working capital loans.

 

17.4

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

 

17.5

The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

 

17.6

Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of

  which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

 

17.7

References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

 

17.8

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

1.    Action without Meeting. Except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant to this Certificate (or any certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock then outstanding) with respect to the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.

2.    Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by a majority of the total number of authorized Directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies or unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships (the “Whole Board”), acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board, and special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons.

3.    No Cumulative Voting. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.

4.    Number of Directors; Term of Office. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, the number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they severally hold office, into three classes. 2The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022, the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023, and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024. At each annual meeting of stockholders, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors elected to each class shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, death or removal. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock with respect to the election of Directors, if the number of Directors is hereafter changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Whole Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate, the holders of any one or more series of Undesignated Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or together with holders of other such series, to elect Directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate and any certificate of designations applicable to such series.

5.    Vacancies. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors relating thereto, any and all vacancies in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors, or the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a Director, shall be filled solely and exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors, when the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall, subject to Article VI, Section 3 hereof, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.

6.    Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom the holders of any such series have the right to elect, any Director (including persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled to vote at an election of Directors.

Table of Contents

(4)    Actions by Directors or Officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any Director or Officer seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director or Officer only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director or Officer) was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, unless such Proceeding was brought to enforce such Officer’s or Director’s rights to indemnification or, in the case of Directors, advancement of Expenses under this Certificate in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

4.    Indemnification of Non-Officer Employees. Each Non-Officer Employee may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against any or all Expenses and Liabilities that are incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employee’s Corporate Status, if such Non-Officer Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Officer Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Non-Officer Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

5.    Determination. Unless ordered by a court, no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Article VII to a Director, to an Officer or to a Non-Officer Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. Such determination shall be made by (a) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

6.    Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition.

Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director) was (i) authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or (ii) brought to enforce such Director’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Certificate.

If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such

advancement of Expenses under this Article VII shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director for recovery of the unpaid amount of an advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.

In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

7.    Advancement of Expenses to Officers and Non-Officer Employees Prior to Final Disposition.

The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Officer or any Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such person is involved by reason of his or her Corporate Status as an Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer or Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

8.    Contractual Nature of Rights.

The provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article VII is in effect, in consideration of such person’s past or current and any future performance of services for the Corporation. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VII nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VII shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Article VII in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person.

If a claim for indemnification (following final disposition of such Proceeding) or advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Article VII shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall be on the Corporation.

 

C-8

In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person’s Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article VII.

11.    Other Indemnification. Subject to any other right which any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate or the By-laws of the Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise to the contrary, the Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article VII as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the “Primary Indemnitor”). Subject to any other right which any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate or the By-laws of the Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise to the contrary, any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VII owed by the Corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

Such certificate shall be signed by any two authorized officers of the Corporation. The Corporation seal and the signatures by the Corporation’s officers, the transfer agent or the registrar may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue. Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer and every certificate issued when the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall contain such legend with respect thereto as is required by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in these By-laws, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares (except that the foregoing shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation), and by the approval and adoption of these By-laws the Board of Directors has determined that all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock may be uncertificated, whether upon original issuance, re-issuance, or subsequent transfer.

Shares of stock that are not represented by a certificate may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by submitting to the Corporation or its transfer agent such evidence of transfer and following such other procedures as the Corporation or its transfer agent may require.

SECTION 3.    Record Holders. Except as may otherwise be required by law, by the Certificate or by these By-laws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-laws.

SECTION 4.    Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (a) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting and (b) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

SECTION 4.    Voting of Securities. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, the Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, the President or the Treasurer may waive notice of and act on behalf of the Corporation (including with regard to voting and actions by written consent), or appoint another person or persons to act as proxy or attorney in fact for the Corporation with or without discretionary power and/or power of substitution, at any meeting of stockholders or shareholders of any other corporation or organization, any of whose securities are held by the Corporation.

The provisions of this Article V, Section 8(a) of these By-laws shall not apply to any claims arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(b)    Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

(c)    If any action that is the subject matter of which is within the scope of Article V, Section 8(a) of these By-laws is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Article V, Section 8(a) of these By-laws (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

(d)    If any provision of these By-laws becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from these By-laws, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of these By-laws with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Corporation’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of these By-laws shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(e)    Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article V, Section 8 of these By-laws.

recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholder approval shall not be required unless mandated by the Certificate, these By-laws, or other applicable law.

SECTION 10.    Notices.

SECTION 11.    Waivers. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a stockholder or director, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting need be specified in such a waiver.

The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Investors of all of the Registrable Securities then held by such Investors and Jaws Director Shares that are not covered by an effective registration statement on the Filing Date (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Investors, or, if the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, and once effective, to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period.

2.1.2    Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Investors in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary Prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.1.3    Amendments and Supplements; Subsequent Shelf Registration. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1 above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities and Jaws Director Shares during the Effectiveness Period, or to file an additional Registration Statement as a shelf registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all outstanding Registrable Securities and Jaws Director Shares from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any holder.

Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Investors, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Investors must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investors. In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

The Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or Prospectus relating thereto). The Company shall promptly notify each Investor in writing of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

(a)    If the Company shall receive a request from the holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated market value of at least $[●]1 (the requesting holder(s) shall be referred to herein as the “Requesting Holder(s)”) that the Company effect the Underwritten Takedown of all or any portion of the Requesting Holder’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall promptly give notice of such requested Underwritten Takedown at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Prospectus relating to such Underwritten Takedown to the other Investors and thereupon shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the offering in such Underwritten Takedown of:

(i)    subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Holder has requested such offering under Section 2.1.5(a), and

(ii)    subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all other Registrable Securities that any holders of Registrable Securities (all such holders, together with the Requesting Holder, the “Selling Holders”) have requested the Company to offer by request received by the Company within two (2) Business Days after such holders receive the Company’s notice of the Underwritten Takedown, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be offered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the registration expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Takedown prior to a withdrawal under this Section 2.1.8.

pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all Investors that are holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each such holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect: (a) more than one (1) Demand Registration during any six-month period; or (b) any Demand Registration at any time if there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.2.2    Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

2.2.3    Underwritten Offering. If the Demand Registration has an estimated market value of at least $[●]4 and the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of the Company.

2.2.4    Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Class A Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of

Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.5    Withdrawal. A Demanding Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2.2 for any reason or no reason whatsoever upon written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of its intention to withdraw from such underwritten offering prior to the pricing of such underwritten offering and such withdrawn amount shall no longer be considered an underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the registration expenses incurred in connection with an underwritten offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.5.

2.3    Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.1    Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) calendar days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) calendar days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The rights provided under this Section 2.3.1 shall not be available to any Investor at such time as (i) there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) such Registration is solely to be used for the offering of securities by the Company for its own account and (iii) no other shareholder of the Company is entitled to participate in such Registration. The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.2    Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of Class A Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder and the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.3, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

(a)    If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum

Number of Shares; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(b)    If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable Securities, (A) first, the Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.3.3    Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the public announcement of an offering if the Piggy-Back Registration is with respect to the sale of securities pursuant to an already effective Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing sentence with respect to the indemnification of the holders.

4.2    Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares was registered under the Securities Act, any Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus) contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by

4.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4    Contribution.

4.4.1    If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2    The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4.2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

 

E-15


Table of Contents

4.4.3    The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.

5.1    Rule 144. As long as any holder shall own Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish such holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any such holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares held by such holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any holder, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

6.1    Investor Lock-Up. ITC Holdings, each Investor and each Jaws Director agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the date that is six (6) months from the date of the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”), Transfer any shares of Common Stock [or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock]6 (whether such shares of Common Stock [or any such securities] are held directly or indirectly by such holder as of the date of this Agreement or are thereafter acquired) (the “Restricted Securities”); provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock acquired by any Investor in the PIPE Financing shall not be Restricted Securities; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict such holder’s rights under Section 2 of this Agreement to cause the Company to file and cause to become effective a Registration Statement with the Commission naming such holder as a selling securityholder (and to make any required disclosures on Schedule 13D in respect thereof). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lock-Up Period and restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to the: (a) establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Restricted Securities; provided, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period or (b) Transfers (i) of any or all of the Restricted Securities made pursuant to a bona fide gift or charitable contribution; (ii) of any or all of the Restricted Securities by will or intestate succession upon the death of a holder or any Permitted Transferee; (iii) to any Permitted Transferee; (iv) of any Class B Common Stock in connection with a concurrent transfer of Continuing Company Units in accordance with, as permitted by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Company LLC Agreement; (v) by Cano America, LLC to the members of Cano America, LLC; (vi) by Jaws Sponsor LLC to the members of Jaws Sponsor LLC; (vii) by ITC Holdings to the members of ITC Holdings; or (viii) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; provided that in the case of (i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Company an

E-16


Table of Contents

agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of (i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above (to the extent such transfer is to a party other than a Permitted Transferee (other than any direct or indirect limited partner of the applicable Investor)), in each case, such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value. Each Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Securities Transferred pursuant to clause (vii) in the preceding sentence shall only continue to be Restricted Securities if they are held by an Investor upon Transfer.

6.2    Termination of Lock-Up. If, following the Closing Date, the last reported sales price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock exchange, stock reconstruction, amalgamation, contractual control arrangement or similar event) on each of at least twenty (20) trading days within a consecutive thirty (30) trading day period, the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.

6.3    If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 6, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities (and permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

6.4    During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE INVESTOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2021, BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH INVESTOR AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

6.5    For the avoidance of doubt, each Investor shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that are entitled to vote. The Company agrees to (i) instruct its transfer agent to remove the legend in Section 6.4 upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) if requested by the transfer agent, cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i).

MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1    Other Registration Rights and Arrangements. The Company represents and warrants that, except pursuant to each Subscription Agreement, no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares, has any right to require the Company to register any of the Company’s share capital for sale or to include the Company’s share capital in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares for its own account or for the account of any other person. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

7.2    Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement

 

E-17

and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any permitted transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the holders of Registrable Securities and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 7.2. The rights of a holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement may be transferred by such a holder to a transferee who acquires or holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an “Addendum Agreement”), and the transferor shall have delivered to the Company no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of an Addendum Agreement shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any distribution of Registrable Securities by ITC Holdings to its members, only those distributees that are Investors shall be assigned any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

7.3    Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one holder or group of holders, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the holder or holders so affected. In addition, each party hereto may waive any right hereunder (solely as applicable to such party) by an instrument in writing signed by such party. No course of dealing between any holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

7.4    Term. This Agreement shall terminate, with respect to any Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares, as applicable, upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement (provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to Registrable Securities held by a Company Holder) or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities or Jaws Director Shares, as applicable, have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)); provided, however, that with respect to any Company Holder, such Company Holder will have no rights under this Agreement and all obligations of the Company to such Company Holder under this Agreement shall terminate upon the date such Company Holder ceases to hold at least [●]7 Registrable Securities; and provided further, that, in each case, the provisions of Section 4, Section 5 and Section 6 shall survive such termination.

7.5    Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”) required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile or email, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given (i) on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a Business Day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.8.

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such party (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (A) any claim that such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 7.9 for any reason, (B) that such party or such party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such party in or by such courts. Each party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 7.5 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action..

7.10    Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

7.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7.12    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written.

Annex F

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2021 by and between (a) [Cano Health, Inc.], a Delaware corporation (as successor-in-interest to JAWS Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company) (the “Company”), and (b) the person or entity identified under the heading “Holder” on the signature page hereto (“Holder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of [●], 2020, by and among the Company, JAWS Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “BCA”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the BCA, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by the parties thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the New JAWS Shares or any other equity securities of the Company or securities that may be converted, exchanged or exercised into or for New JAWS Shares held directly or indirectly by the Holder (the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.    Lock-Up Provisions.

(a)    The Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the date that is 48 months from the date of the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Restricted Securities or (ii) enter into any swap or hedging or other arrangement which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the New JAWS Shares, or that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any New JAWS Shares, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Prohibited Transfer”); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any Holder’s right to cause the Company to file and cause to become effective a registration statement with the SEC naming such Holder as a selling securityholder (and to make any required disclosures on Schedule 13D in respect thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-Up Period and restrictions set forth in this Section 1 shall not apply to the:

(A)    transfer, during any consecutive 12-month period during the Lock-Up Period, of a number of Restricted Securities not to exceed 25% of the Continuing Company Units held directly or indirectly by the Holder immediately following the Closing;

(B)    establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Restricted Securities; provided, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period except as permitted by clause (A);

(C)    transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution;

(D)    transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities by will or intestate succession upon the death of the Holder or any Permitted Transferee;

 

F-1


Table of Contents

(E)    transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities to any Permitted Transferee;

(F)    transfer of any New JAWS Class B Shares in connection with a concurrent transfer of Continuing Company Units in accordance with, as permitted by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Company LLC Agreement; or

(G)    in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their New JAWS Shares for cash, securities or other property;

provided, however, that in the case of (C), (D) or (E), it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Company an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of (C), (D) or (E) (to the extent such transfer is to a party other than a Permitted Transferee (other than any direct or indirect limited partner of the applicable Holder)), in each case, such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean:

(i)    any direct or indirect general partner, limited partner, shareholder, member or owner of similar equity interests in a Holder;

(ii)    a trust, or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the primary benefit of the spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, child or grandchild of the Holder or any other person with whom the Holder has a relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin; or

(iii)    any affiliate of the Holder.

The Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(b)    If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities (and permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(c)    During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2021, BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that are entitled to vote. The Company agrees to (i) instruct its transfer agent to remove the legend in clause (c) immediately above upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) if requested by the transfer agent, cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i).

(h)    Amendments and Waivers. Only upon the approval by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company then in office that qualify as “independent” for purposes of audit committee membership under Section 10A-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived by the Company, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of Restricted Securities, shall require the consent of the Holder. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties against whom such waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(j)    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by a Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(k)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the BCA or any documents related thereto or referred to therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of the Holder under any other agreement between the Holder and the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by the Holder in favor of the Company, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of the Holder under this Agreement.

(l)    Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Annex G

Term Sheet for Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning given such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), dated as of November 11, 2020, by and among Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“JAWS”), Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

 

Company    Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
Amendment & Restatement of LLC Agreement    Effective as of immediately before the Effective Time, the limited liability company agreement of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to include the terms set forth in this term sheet and such other commercially customary terms for such structure based upon recent “Up-C” IPOs, provided such terms are reasonably acceptable to JAWS, the Company and Cano America, LLC (“Cano America”) (the “Second A&R LLC Agreement”).
Merger    As of the Effective Time, the Company’s outstanding membership interests will consist of new Company common units (the “Company Common Units”), of which, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the following sentence, a number of Company Common Units will be outstanding that equals the number of Fully Diluted Company Units. On the Business Day immediately following the Closing Date: (a) in exchange for the contribution of the Retained Cash Amount pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the BCA, the Company will issue to New JAWS an aggregate number of Company Common Units equal to the Fully Diluted Company Units, minus the Continuing Company Units, minus the Acquired Company Units; and (b) the Company will issue Equity Securities of the Company to New JAWS such that the capitalization structure of the Company shall mirror the capitalization structure of New JAWS. Thereafter, if New JAWS issues any Equity Securities of New JAWS, the Company shall issue Equity Securities of the Company to New JAWS on substantially the same terms such that the capitalization structure of the Company shall at all times mirror the capitalization structure of New JAWS1
Company Common Units    Each Company Common Unit shall have identical economic rights and shall be entitled to share in the profits and losses of the Company and to receive distributions as and if declared by the Managing Member. Company Common Units will have no voting rights.
Sole Managing Member    Effective upon completion of the Closing, New JAWS will be admitted as the sole Managing Member of the Company (the “Managing Member”).
Management   

The Managing Member will have the sole authority to manage the business, property and affairs of the Company in accordance with the Second A&R LLC Agreement and applicable law.

 

The Managing Member cannot be removed or replaced except by the incumbent Managing Member.

 

The Managing Member shall not be entitled to any compensation for services rendered to the Company in its capacity as Managing Member.

Distributions   

The Managing Member may, subject to (i) any restrictions contained in the financing agreements to which the Company or any its Subsidiaries is a party, (ii) having available cash (after setting aside appropriate reserves), and (iii) any mutually agreed upon other restrictions set forth in the Second A&R LLC Agreement, make distributions to the members at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no distribution (including tax distributions) or other payment in respect of membership interests shall be required to be made to any member if, and to the extent that, such distribution (including tax distributions) or other payment in respect of membership interests would not be permitted under the Delaware LLC Act or other applicable law.

 

All distributions, including tax distributions, will be made to holders of Company Common Units on a pro rata basis.

 

Upon the liquidation or winding up of the Company, all net proceeds thereof will be distributed to the holders of Company Common Units on a pro rata basis.

Tax Distributions    On or before April 10th of each taxable year (or the corresponding date of any taxable year that is not the calendar year), the Company shall make distributions among the holders of Company Common Units on a pro rata basis so that each holder receives an amount of cash that is no less than: (a) the highest applicable federal and state individual or corporate marginal tax rate pertaining to the type of income being taxed on any member (i.e., the same rate shall be applied to each member) multiplied by the excess of: (i) the net taxable income and gain allocated to such person for federal income tax purposes in the Company income tax return filed or to be filed with respect to such immediately preceding taxable year (including any Section 704(c) amounts but ignoring adjustments pursuant to Section 743 of the Code), over (ii) any net losses, deductions and credits allocated to such person from the Company for federal income tax purposes in prior tax years to the extent such items have not been previously taken into account in calculating tax distributions, minus (b) any prior discretionary distributions or tax distributions with respect to such immediately preceding taxable year, including any distributions made prior to April 10 of the current taxable year. The Company may also make such distributions on an estimated basis five days before each due date for the payment of estimated federal income taxes by an individual, and if such estimated distributions exceed the actual amount of tax distributions required on April 10, such member receiving excess distributions shall promptly repay such excess to the Company.
Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss    The Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion, shall allocate net profits and net losses (and not items of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits) for any taxable year among the members in a manner that is consistent with the “partner’s interest in the partnership” principles under Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, taking into account each such member’s rights to distributions (and expected distributions) pursuant to this Agreement and any other relevant factors in exercising such discretion, including any unrealized gain and loss of the Company. For this purpose all unvested Units shall be treated as vested.
Transfer Restrictions    The Second A&R LLC Agreement will contain restrictions on transfers of membership interests and will require the prior consent of the Managing Member for such transfers, except, in each case, for (i) certain transfers to permitted transferees under certain conditions (including transfers to affiliates and for estate planning purposes), (ii) transfers of Company Common Units by Seller to its members, whether as a distribution, a liquidating distribution or otherwise, (iii) transfers of Company Common Units by Cano America to its members, whether as a distribution, a liquidating distribution or otherwise, and

(iv) exchanges of Company Common Units for New JAWS Class A Shares in accordance with the Exchange provisions below.

 

In no event may any transfer of a Company Common Unit be made by any person if the Managing Member determines in good faith that:

 

(i) such transfer is made to any person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Company Common Unit;

 

(ii) such transfer would require the registration of such transferred Company Common Unit or of any class of Unit pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws;

 

(iii) such transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Company to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated member, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable law, or (ii) the Managing Member to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated member, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable law, or otherwise;

 

(iv) to the extent requested by the Managing Member, the Company does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member, as determined by the Managing Member in good faith;

 

(v) such transfer would result in the Company having more than 100 partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), or pose a material risk that the Company would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; or

 

(v) such transfer would be to United HealthGroup Incorporated or an Affiliate thereof.

 

In addition, the Second A&R LLC Agreement will permit, to the extent the Managing Member determines in good faith that additional restrictions on transfers are necessary so that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, the Managing Member to impose such additional restrictions on transfers as the Managing Member has determined in good faith to be so necessary.

Exchange of Company Common Units for New JAWS Class A Shares    Following the expiration of any applicable lock-up, by delivering a written notice to the Company with a copy to New JAWS, each holder of the Company Common Units shall be entitled at any time (subject to the availability of an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or other applicable law or a registration statement then in effect with respect to such issuance and subsequent transfer by such holder) and from time to time, to exchange (each, an “Exchange”) all or any (but no more than two times per calendar quarter collectively with such holder’s affiliates and permitted transferees), all or a portion of its Company Common Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of New JAWS Class B Shares, for a number of New JAWS Class A Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Common Units to be exchanged multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Rate (as defined below); provided, however, that, absent a waiver by the

 

G-3


Table of Contents
  

Managing Member, any such Exchange is for a minimum of the lesser of [1,000] Company Common Units or all of the Company Common Units held by such exchanging holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New JAWS may, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering New JAWS Class A Shares for any Company Common Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per Company Common Unit equal to the [5-day VWAP] of the New JAWS Class A Shares on the date of the receipt of the written notice of the Exchange.

 

The Second A&R LLC Agreement will include reasonable procedures for the implementation of redemptions and Exchanges, including, without limitation, procedures for the giving of notice of an election of exchange.

Exchange Rate   

Exchange Rate” means, at any time, the number of New JAWS Class A Shares for which one Company Common Unit is entitled to be Exchanged at such time pursuant to the Second A&R LLC Agreement. Initially, the Exchange Rate shall be one for one, subject to adjustment pursuant to the Second A&R LLC Agreement.

 

The Second A&R LLC Agreement will provide that the Exchange Rate will be adjusted accordingly if there is: (i) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Company Common Units or New JAWS Class B Shares that is not accompanied by a substantively identical subdivision or combination of the New JAWS Class A Shares; or (ii) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the New JAWS Class A Shares that is not accompanied by a substantively identical subdivision or combination of shares of New JAWS Class B Shares or the Company Common Units, in each case, to the extent necessary to maintain the economic equivalency in the value surrendered for exchange and the value received, as determined by New JAWS in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made solely as a result of a stock dividend by New JAWS that is effected to maintain the relationship between the JAWS Class A Shares and Company Common Units. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the New JAWS Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an exchanging holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such exchanging holder would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. These adjustments shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Company Common Units” will be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of New JAWS or the Company which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of shares of Company Common Units, New JAWS Class A Shares or New JAWS Class B Shares, as applicable, by reason of stock or unit split, reverse stock or unit split, stock or unit dividend or distribution, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

Table of Contents
Restrictions on Exchange    The Company may limit the rights of holders of Company Common Units to exchange their Company Common Units under the Second A&R LLC Agreement if the Company determines in good faith that such restrictions are necessary so that the Company will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws and regulations.
New JAWS Class A Shares to be Issued   

New JAWS shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued New JAWS Class A Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of New JAWS Class A Shares as shall be deliverable upon any such Exchange; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude New JAWS or the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange of the Company Common Units by delivery of New JAWS Class A Shares which are held in the treasury of New JAWS or are held by the Company or any of their subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased New JAWS Class A Shares (which may or may not be held in the treasury of New JAWS or held by any subsidiary thereof). New JAWS and the Company covenant that all New JAWS Class A Shares issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, have been duly authorized and validly issued and be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

New JAWS and the Company covenant and agree that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for New JAWS Class A Shares to be delivered with respect to any Exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange. If any Exchange in accordance with the Second A&R LLC Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the member requesting such Exchange, New JAWS and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. New JAWS and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New JAWS Class A Shares required to be delivered upon Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding JAWS Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

 

New JAWS shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all reasonable steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, New JAWS of equity securities of New JAWS (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of New JAWS for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each executive officer (including the chief accounting officer) or director of New JAWS.

Tax Treatment    As required by the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations, the parties shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of Company Common Units and New JAWS Class B Shares by an exchanging holder to New JAWS.
“Traditional Method” of Allocation    The parties shall cause the Company to elect the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to any assets deemed contributed to the Company by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

provided, that if the dissolution of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with clauses (b) or (d) in this provision would have a material adverse effect on any member, the dissolution of the Company shall require the prior written consent of such member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Also for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of New JAWS or the Managing Member or any obligations of New JAWS or the Managing Member under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

SECTION 2.1 Basis Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer for each relevant Taxable Year, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party, other than a TRA Party that is an individual, a schedule (the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform the calculations required by this Agreement, (i) the Common Basis of the Reference Assets in respect of such TRA Party, if any, (ii) the Non-Stepped Up Tax Basis of the Reference Assets in respect of such TRA Party as of each applicable Exchange Date, if any, (iii) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Reference Assets in respect of such TRA Party as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year or any prior Taxable Year by such TRA Party, if any, calculated in the aggregate, and (iv) the period (or periods) over which the Common Basis and each Basis Adjustment in respect of such TRA Party is amortizable and/or depreciable. Promptly after delivering any such Basis Schedule to a TRA Party, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver a copy of such Basis Schedule to the TRA Party Representative, the Sponsor Party Representative and each Interested Party.

SECTION 2.2 Tax Benefit Schedule.

(a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or a Realized Tax Detriment Attributable to a TRA Party, other than a TRA Party that is an individual, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to such TRA Party a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit and Tax Benefit Payment, or the Realized Tax Detriment, as applicable, in respect of such TRA Party for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Each Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)). Promptly after delivering any such Tax Benefit Schedule Schedule to a TRA Party, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver a copy of such Tax Benefit Schedule to the TRA Party Representative, the Sponsor Party Representative and each Interested Party.

(b) Applicable Principles.

(i) General. Subject to Section 3.3, the Realized Tax Benefit (or the Realized Tax Detriment) for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease (or increase) in the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year attributable to the Tax Attributes, determined using a “with and without” methodology. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to any of the Tax Attributes shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to any Tax Attribute and another portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology. The parties agree that (A) all Tax Benefit Payments (other than the portion of the Tax Benefit Payments treated as Imputed Interest) attributable to the Common Basis or Basis Adjustments will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that have the effect of (x) creating additional Basis Adjustments to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment or (y) with respect to Tax Benefit Payments (other than the portion of the Tax Benefit Payments treated as Imputed Interest) attributable to Initial Common Basis, creating additional Initial Common Basis to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment, (B) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments and additional Initial Common Basis will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate, and (C) the Actual Tax Liability will take into account the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as Imputed Interest.

(ii) Applicable Principles of Section 734(b) Exchanges. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing treatment set out in the last sentence of Section 2.2(b)(i) shall not be

 

I-10


Table of Contents

required to apply to payments hereunder to an Exchanging Holder in respect of a Section 734(b) Exchange by such Exchanging Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement relating to a Section 734(b) Exchange shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest. The parties intend that (A) an Exchanging Holder that has made a Section 734(b) Exchange shall, with respect to the Basis Adjustment resulting from such Section 734(b) Exchange or any payments hereunder in respect of such Section 734(b) Exchange, be entitled to Tax Benefit Payments attributable to such Basis Adjustments only to the extent such Basis Adjustments are allocable to the Corporate Taxpayer following such Section 734(b) Exchange (without taking into account any concurrent or subsequent Exchanges) and (B) if, as a result of a subsequent Exchange, an increased portion of the Basis Adjustments resulting from such Section 734(b) Exchange or any payments hereunder in respect of such Section 734(b) Exchange becomes allocable to the Corporate Taxpayer, then the LLC Unit Holder that makes such subsequent Exchange shall be entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment calculated in respect of such increased portion. For purposes of this Agreement, such Basis Adjustments resulting from subsequent Section 734(b) Exchanges as described in (B) in the previous sentence shall be reported and treated as Common Basis for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.3 Procedures, Amendments.

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to a TRA Party, a Sponsor Party and an Interested Party an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also (x) deliver to such TRA Party, such Sponsor Party and such Interested Party supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or as reasonably requested by such TRA Party, such Sponsor Party or such Interested Party, providing reasonable detail regarding data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Schedule, and (y) allow such TRA Party, such Sponsor Party and such Interested Party reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporate Taxpayer, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall ensure that any Tax Benefit Schedule, along with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the Actual Tax Liability and the Hypothetical Tax Liability and identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of such calculations. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the date on which all relevant TRA Parties, all Sponsor Parties and all Interested Parties are treated as having received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto under Section 7.1 unless the TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days from such date provides the Corporate Taxpayer with written notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. The TRA Party Representative shall cooperate in good faith with the Sponsor Parties and the Interested Parties in reviewing, and determining its course of action with respect to, any such Schedule. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative, as applicable, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of an Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the relevant TRA Party Representative or Sponsor Party Representative, as applicable, shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”) in which case such Schedule becomes binding ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures.

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to a TRA Party, (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit, or the

 

I-11


Table of Contents

Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or the Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year or (vi) to adjust an applicable TRA Party’s Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). The Corporate Taxpayer shall provide an Amended Schedule to each applicable TRA Party when the Corporate Taxpayer delivers the Basis Schedule for the following taxable year. Promptly after delivering any such Amended Schedule to a TRA Party, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver a copy of such Amended Schedule to each Sponsor Party and each Interested Party.

SECTION 2.4 Costs and Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo in connection with the provision and preparation of any Schedules under this Agreement and otherwise compliance with this Agreement as it relates to such Schedules shall be borne by the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties in accordance with the relative proportion of the payment to which such Persons were entitled pursuant to this Agreement for the period in which such reasonable costs and expenses were incurred; provided, that if no payments were made pursuant to this Agreement in such period, such reasonable costs and expenses will be borne by the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties in accordance with such Persons’ relative proportion of rights to future payments pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

SECTION 3.1 Payments.

(a) Payments. Within five (5) Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to a TRA Party becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and Section 7.9, if applicable, the Corporate Taxpayer shall (i) pay such TRA Party for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) that is Attributable to such TRA Party and (ii) pay the Sponsor Parties (in accordance with the relative proportion of the Sponsor Payment to which such Sponsor Parties are entitled pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on Schedule I hereto (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 7.6(a) hereto)) an amount equal to the sum of (x) such Tax Benefit Payment (less any Interest Amount taken into account in calculating such Tax Benefit Payment) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is 0.15 (fifteen hundredths) and the denominator of which is 0.85 (eighty-five hundredths) (such amount, the “Net Sponsor Payment”) and (y) the Interest Amount with respect thereto (when added to the Net Sponsor Payment, such sum, the “Sponsor Payment”); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Sponsor Parties shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Sponsor Payment. Each such Tax Benefit Payment and Sponsor Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, as applicable, to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including, without limitation, United States federal estimated income Tax payments and (y) the payments provided for pursuant to the above sentence shall be computed separately for each TRA Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise specified by a TRA Party in the election of Exchange, delivered in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, for any Exchange, the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments payable under this Agreement in respect of such Exchange (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) shall not exceed 60% of the fair market value of the consideration received on such Exchange.

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such TRA Party and the Interest Amount with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, for tax purposes, such Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest, but instead, shall be treated as additional consideration in the applicable transaction, unless otherwise required by law. Subject to Section 3.3, the “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if

 

I-12


Table of Contents

any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year, over the total amount of payments previously made under the first sentence of Section 3.1(a) (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such recipient shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the determination of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment to be paid to a TRA Party under this Agreement with respect to state and local taxes shall not require separate “with and without” calculations in respect of each applicable state and local tax jurisdiction but rather will be based on the United States federal taxable income or gain for such taxable year reported on the Corporate Taxpayer’s IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) and the Assumed Rate. The “Interest Amount” shall equal (i) in the case of a Tax Benefit Payment, the interest on the Net Tax Benefit calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year until the payment date under Section 3.1(a) and (ii) in the case of a Sponsor Payment, the interest on the Net Sponsor Payment calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year until the payment date under Section 3.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control that occurs after the Closing Date, all Tax Benefit Payments shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1), (2), (4), and (5), substituting in each case the terms “date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

SECTION 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

SECTION 3.3 Pro Rata Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate Realized Tax Benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to the Tax Attributes is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient taxable income, the Net Tax Benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer be allocated among all parties eligible for Tax Benefit Payments in proportion to the amount of Net Tax Benefit that would have been Attributable to each such party, or, with respect to the Sponsor Parties, the Sponsor Payment that would have been paid, if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation.

SECTION 3.4 Payment Ordering. If for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments and the Sponsor Payment due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Parties, and the Sponsor Parties agree that (i) Tax Benefit Payments and Sponsor Payments for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to all parties eligible for Tax Benefit Payments and the Sponsor Parties, respectively, under this Agreement in proportion to the amounts of Net Tax Benefit that would have been Attributable to each TRA Party and Net Sponsor Payment that would have been made to the Sponsor Parties, respectively, if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient cash available to make such Tax Benefit Payments and Sponsor Payments (taking into account the operation of Section 3.3) and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payments or Sponsor Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments to all TRA Parties and all Sponsor Payments to all Sponsor Parties in respect of all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

SECTION 3.5 Excess Payments. To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer makes a payment to a TRA Party or a Sponsor Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.3 and Section 3.4) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, respectively, in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, respectively, shall not receive further payments under Section 3.1(a) until such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, respectively, has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer will pay the amount of such TRA Party’s or such Sponsor Party’s, respectively, foregone payments to the other Persons to whom a payment is due under this Agreement in a manner such that each such Person to whom a payment is due under this Agreement, to the maximum extent possible, receives aggregate

payments under Section 3.1(a) (taking into account Section 3.3 and Section 3.4) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, respectively.

(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer (1) breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or (2)(A) shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (i) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate a bankruptcy or insolvency, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts or (ii) seeking an appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or it shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (B) there shall be commenced against the Corporate Taxpayer any case, proceeding or other action of the nature referred to in clause (A) above that remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of sixty (60) calendar days, all obligations hereunder shall be automatically accelerated and shall be immediately due and payable, and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payments calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment and Sponsor Payment due and payable and that remains unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment and Sponsor Payment in respect of any TRA Party and any Sponsor Party, respectively, due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach; provided, that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence and procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.3 shall apply with respect to the determination of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding the foregoing (other than as set forth in subsection (2) above), in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement, each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this

Table of Contents

Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment or Sponsor Payment when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided, that (i) the Corporate Taxpayer has used reasonable efforts to obtain such funds and that (ii) the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient funds to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, the last sentence of this Section 4.1(b) shall not apply to any payments due pursuant to an election by a TRA Party or a Sponsor Party for the acceleration upon a Change of Control contemplated by Section 4.1(c).

(c) In the event of a Change of Control, then each TRA Party shall continue as a TRA Party under this Agreement after such Change of Control and each Sponsor Party shall continue as a Sponsor Party to this Agreement after such Change of Control, in which case such TRA Party and Sponsor Party, respectively, will not be entitled to receive the amounts set forth in the remainder of this Section 4.1(c) and Valuation Assumptions (1), (2), (4), and (5) shall apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence in this Section 4.1(c), the TRA Party Representative shall have the option, after consultation with the Sponsor Party Representative, to elect to cause all obligations to the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties hereunder to be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change of Control and shall include (1) the Early Termination Payments calculated with respect to the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties, respectively, as if the Early Termination Date is the date of such Change of Control, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment and Sponsor Payment, respectively, due and payable and that remains unpaid as of the date of such Change of Control, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment and Sponsor Payment, respectively, in respect of any TRA Party and any Sponsor Party, respectively, due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such Change of Control; provided, that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence and procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.3 shall apply with respect to the determination of the date such payment is due. If the TRA Party Representative makes the election described in the preceding sentence, (i) each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party, respectively, shall be entitled to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of the preceding sentence and (ii) any Early Termination Payment described in the preceding sentence shall be calculated utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6), substituting in each case the terms “date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

SECTION 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and, for TRA Parties that are not individuals, a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment(s) due for each TRA Party. Each Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which all TRA Parties and Interested Parties are treated as having received such Schedule or amendment thereto under Section 7.1 unless the TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after such date provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative and/or the Sponsor Party Representative, as applicable, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative and/or the Sponsor Party Representative, as applicable, shall employ

the Reconciliation Procedures in which case such Schedule becomes binding ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures.

SECTION 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within three (3) calendar days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party and Sponsor Party, respectively. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by such TRA Party and Sponsor Party, respectively, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party and Sponsor Party, respectively, or, in the absence of such designation or agreement, by check mailed to the last mailing address provided by such TRA Party and Sponsor Party, respectively, to the Corporate Taxpayer.

(b) Early Termination Payment” in respect of (i) a TRA Party shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the applicable Early Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions in respect of such TRA Party are applied and that each Tax Benefit Payment for the relevant Taxable Year would be due and payable on the due date (without extensions) under applicable law as of the Early Termination Effective Date for filing of IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer and (ii) a Sponsor Party shall equal such Sponsor Party’s relative proportion of the sum of all Early Termination Payments that are or would be payable in respect of all TRA Parties multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is 0.15 (fifteen hundredths) and the denominator of which is 0.85 (eighty-five hundredths).

ARTICLE V

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

SECTION 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment, any Sponsor Payment, and any other payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations. To the extent that any payment under this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1 and the terms of agreements governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit of the relevant payee and the Corporate Taxpayer shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance with the terms of the Senior Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates enters into future Tax receivable or other similar agreements (“Future TRAs”), the Corporate Taxpayer shall ensure that the terms of any such Future TRA shall provide that the Tax Attributes subject to this Agreement are considered senior in priority to any Tax attributes subject to any such Future TRA for purposes of calculating the amount and timing of payments under any such Future TRA.

SECTION 5.2 Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. Subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 4.1(b), the amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, any Sponsor Payment, and any Early Termination Payment not made to the TRA Parties or the Sponsor Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement, whether as a result of Section 5.1 or otherwise, shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment was first due and payable to the date of actual payment.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo, including without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer (i) shall notify the TRA Party Representative and the Interested Parties of, and keep the TRA Party Representative and the Interested Parties reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to materially affect the rights and obligations of the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties under this Agreement, (ii) shall provide the TRA Party Representative and the Interested Parties reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit and (iii) shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any such portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo that could have a material effect on the TRA Parties’ or the Interested Parties’ rights (including the right to receive payments) under this Agreement without the written consent of the TRA Party Representative and the Sponsor Party Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement. The TRA Party Representative and the Interested Parties shall cooperate in good faith with each other in reviewing, and determining its course of action with respect to, any such audit.

SECTION 6.2 Consistency. The Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Parties, and the Sponsor Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including United States federal, state and local tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Basis Adjustments and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that contemplated by this Agreement or specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement, in all cases subject to any dispute resolution procedures provided by this Agreement in relation to such reporting, unless otherwise required by law. The Corporate Taxpayer shall (and shall cause OpCo and the Group Companies to) use commercially reasonable efforts (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the interests and entitlements of all TRA Parties and Sponsor Parties under this Agreement) to defend the Tax treatment contemplated by this Agreement and any Schedule in any audit, contest or similar proceeding with any Taxing Authority. The parties hereto acknowledge that the treatment and valuation, for United States federal income tax purposes, of the creation of the obligations under this Agreement of, and the payments pursuant thereto by, the Corporate Taxpayer to the Sponsor Parties is uncertain, and the TRA Party Representative, the Sponsor Party Representative, Cano America, OpCo and the Corporate Taxpayer and their respective advisers shall collaborate in good faith to determine an appropriate treatment and valuation for such purposes and shall not, except as otherwise required by applicable law, take any position with respect to such treatment or valuation without the other such Persons’ consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

SECTION 6.3 Cooperation. Each of the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties shall (a) furnish to the Corporate Taxpayer in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials in its possession as the Corporate Taxpayer may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporate Taxpayer and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter. Upon the request of any TRA Party or any Sponsor Party, the Corporate Taxpayer shall cooperate in taking any action reasonably requested by such TRA Party or Sponsor Party, respectively, in connection with its tax or financial reporting and/or the consummation of any assignment or transfer of any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, providing any information or executing any documentation.

Any party may change its address, fax number or email by giving the other party written notice of its new address, fax number or email in the manner set forth above.

SECTION 7.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.3 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 7.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 7.6 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

(a) Each party agrees that each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party may assign all or any portion of its rights or related obligations under this Agreement to any Person, as long as such assignee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, agreeing to become a TRA Party or a Sponsor Party, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder (a Joinder); provided, however, that a TRA Party other than InTandem, Cano America, and the Trust (and each of their respective Affiliates and direct or indirect beneficiaries) may not assign its rights under this Agreement, except if such rights relate to an Exchange of at least 1% of Units. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.6(a) shall apply regardless of whether such TRA Party or Sponsor Party continues to hold any interest in the Corporate Taxpayer or OpCo. For the avoidance of doubt, if a TRA Party transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement but does not assign to the transferee of such Units all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, (i) such TRA Party shall remain a TRA Party under this Agreement for all purposes and shall continue to be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of such Units to the extent payable hereunder, and (ii) the transferee of such Units shall not be a TRA Party. Any assignment, or attempted assignment in violation of this Agreement, including any failure of a purported assignee to enter into a Joinder , shall be null and void, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Parties, or the Sponsor Parties. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to treat the record owner of any rights under this Agreement as the absolute owner thereof and shall incur no liability for payments made in good faith to such owner until such time as a written assignment of such rights has occurred pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.6(a) and has been notified in writing to the Corporate Taxpayer. In connection with the assignment by a Sponsor Party of all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, Schedule I hereto shall be amended to reflect the relative proportion of the Sponsor Payment to which the Sponsor Parties (including the

 

I-21


Table of Contents

assignees) are entitled pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Assignment and Distribution shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.6(a), and the Trust, being a party to this Agreement, shall be treated as a TRA Party as of immediately after such Initial Assignment and Distribution. In addition, each Person listed on Schedule II attached hereto may become a TRA Party at any time after the date hereof and prior to the time of an Exchange by such Person by delivering an executed signature page without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the Corporate Taxpayer and by the TRA Parties who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Parties hereunder if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate effect on the payments one or more TRA Parties receive under this Agreement unless such amendment is consented in writing by such TRA Parties disproportionately affected who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Parties disproportionately affected hereunder if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, further, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have an adverse effect on the payments the Sponsor Parties may receive under this Agreement, unless the Sponsor Parties who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the total amount of the Sponsor Payments payable to all Sponsor Parties hereunder on the date of such amendment consent to such amendment in writing. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(c) All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

SECTION 7.7 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

SECTION 7.8 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.9 and cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a Dispute) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the State of New York and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Corporate Taxpayer may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking

 

I-22


Table of Contents

temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.8 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporate Taxpayer as agent of such TRA Party and Sponsor Party for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise the TRA Party and the Sponsor Party of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the TRA Party and the Sponsor Party in any such action or proceeding.

(c) (i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the fora designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another; and

(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section 7.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

SECTION 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer, on the one hand, and the TRA Party Representative and the Sponsor Party Representative, on the other hand, are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.3 and 4.2 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Party Representative and the Sponsor Party Representative agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Party Representative, and the Sponsor Party Representative are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, then the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The reasonable costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the TRA Parties and Sponsor Parties in accordance with the relative proportion of the payment to which such Persons were entitled pursuant to this Agreement for the period in which such reasonable costs and expenses were incurred (provided, that if no payments were made pursuant to this Agreement in such period, such reasonable costs and expenses will be borne by the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties in accordance with such Persons’ relative proportion of rights to future payments pursuant to this Agreement), unless the Expert adopts the TRA Party Representative’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the TRA Parties and Sponsor Parties for any costs otherwise borne by them pursuant to

 

I-23

this sentence. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and each of the TRA Parties and the Sponsor Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.10 Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, that, prior to deducting or withholding any such amounts, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify the TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative, as relevant, and shall consult in good faith with such TRA Party Representative or the Sponsor Party Representative, as relevant, regarding the basis for such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made. To the extent that any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such recipient shall indemnify the applicable withholding agent for any amounts imposed by any Taxing Authority together with any costs and expenses related thereto. Each TRA Party and each Sponsor Party shall promptly provide the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo or other applicable withholding agent with any applicable Tax forms and certifications (including IRS Form W-9 or the applicable version of IRS Form W-8) reasonably requested, in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of United States state, local or foreign Tax law.

SECTION 7.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If the Corporate Taxpayer is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Sponsor Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) If the Corporate Taxpayer (or any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a)) transfers or is deemed to transfer any Unit or any Reference Asset to a transferee that is treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes (other than a member of a group described in Section 7.11(a)) in a transaction in which the transferee’s basis in the property acquired is determined in whole or in part by reference to such transferor’s basis in such property, then the Corporate Taxpayer shall cause such transferee to assume the obligation to make payments hereunder with respect to the applicable Tax Attributes associated with any Reference Asset or interest therein acquired (directly or indirectly) in such transfer (taking into account any gain recognized in the transaction) in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement as the transferee (or one of its Affiliates) actually realizes Tax benefits from the Tax Attributes. If OpCo transfers (or is deemed to transfer for United States federal income tax purposes) any Reference Asset to a transferee that is treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes (other than a member of a group described in Section 7.11(a)) in a transaction in which the transferee’s basis in the property acquired is determined in whole or in part by reference to such transferor’s basis in such property, OpCo shall be treated as having disposed of the Reference Asset in a wholly taxable transaction. The consideration deemed to be received by OpCo in a transaction contemplated in the prior sentence shall be equal to the fair market value of the deemed transferred asset, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest. If any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a) that owns any Unit deconsolidates from the group (or the Corporate Taxpayer deconsolidates from the group), then the Corporate Taxpayer shall cause such member (or the parent of the consolidated group in a case where the Corporate Taxpayer deconsolidates from the group) to assume the obligation to make

payments hereunder with respect to the applicable Tax Attributes associated with any Reference Asset it owns (directly or indirectly) in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement as the member (or one of its Affiliates) actually realizes Tax benefits. If a transferee or a member of a group described in Section 7.11(a) assumes an obligation to make payments hereunder pursuant to either of the foregoing sentences, then the initial obligor is relieved of the obligation assumed.

(c) If the Corporate Taxpayer (or any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a)) transfers (or is deemed to transfer for United States federal income tax purposes) any Unit in a transaction that is wholly or partially taxable, then for purposes of calculating payments under this Agreement, OpCo shall be treated as having disposed of the portion of any Reference Asset that is indirectly transferred by the Corporate Taxpayer (i.e., taking into account the number of Units transferred) in a wholly or partially taxable transaction in which all income, gain or loss is allocated to the Corporate Taxpayer. The consideration deemed to be received by OpCo shall be equal to the fair market value of the deemed transferred asset, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest.

SECTION 7.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 6.3, each TRA Party, each Sponsor Party, each Interested Party, and each of their assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, concerning OpCo, its members and its Affiliates and successors, learned by the TRA Party, the Sponsor Party or the Interested Party heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the TRA Party, the Sponsor Party or the Interested Party in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for the TRA Party, the Sponsor Party or the Interested Party to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each TRA Party, each Sponsor Party, each Interested Party, and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the TRA Party or its assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo and their Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to the TRA Party, the Sponsor Party or the Interested Party relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

(b) If a TRA Party, a Sponsor Party, an Interested Party or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

SECTION 7.13 Change in Law.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, a TRA Party reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by the TRA Party upon any

Exchange by such TRA Party to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for United States federal income tax purposes or would have other material adverse Tax consequences to such TRA Party, then at the election of such TRA Party and to the extent specified by such TRA Party, this Agreement (i) shall cease to have further effect with respect to such TRA Party, (ii) shall not apply to an Exchange by such TRA Party occurring after a date specified by such TRA Party, or (iii) shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by such TRA Party; provided, that such amendment shall not result in an increase in payments under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, the Sponsor Party Representative reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement would have material adverse Tax consequences to all or some of the Sponsor Parties which did not exist absent such change in law, then at the election of the Sponsor Party Representative and to the extent specified by the Sponsor Party Representative, this Agreement (i) shall cease to have further effect with respect to the Sponsor Parties so impacted, or (ii) shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by the Sponsor Party Representative; provided, that such amendment shall not result in an increase in payments under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment.

SECTION 7.14 Electronic Signature. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

SECTION 7.15 Independent Nature of TRA Parties, Sponsor Parties and Interested Parties Rights and Obligations. The obligations of each TRA Party, each Sponsor Party and each Interested Party hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other TRA Party, any other Sponsor Party or any other Interested Party, and no TRA Party, no Sponsor Party and no Interested Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other TRA Party, any other Sponsor Party or any other Interested Party hereunder. The decision of each TRA Party, each Sponsor Party and each Interested Party to enter into this Agreement has been made by each such TRA Party, each such Sponsor Party and each such Interested Party independently of any other TRA Party, any other Sponsor Party or any other Interested Party, as applicable. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any TRA Party, any Sponsor Party or any Interested Party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the TRA Parties, the Sponsor Parties and/or the Interested Parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the TRA Parties, the Sponsor Parties and/or the Interested Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and the Corporate Taxpayer acknowledges that the TRA Parties, the Sponsor Parties and the Interested Parties are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Corporate Taxpayer will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 7.16 TRA Party Representative.

(a) Subject to Section 7.16(e), without further action of any of the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Party Representative, any TRA Party, the Sponsor Party Representative, any Sponsor Party or any Interested Party, and as partial consideration in respect of the benefits conferred by this Agreement, the TRA Party Representative is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed as the TRA Party Representative, with full power of substitution, to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the TRA Party Representative under this Agreement.

The TRA Party Representative shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the TRA Parties (on a several but not joint basis) for, any liability, loss, damage, penalty or fine incurred by the TRA Party Representative (and any cost or expense incurred by the TRA Party Representative in connection therewith and herewith and not previously reimbursed pursuant to subsection (b) above) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, and such liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be treated as an expense subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) above, except to the extent that any such liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense is the proximate result of the bad faith or willful misconduct of the TRA Party Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith judgment); provided, however, in no event shall any TRA Party be obligated to indemnify the TRA Party Representative hereunder for any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense to the extent (and only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses indemnified by such TRA Party hereunder is or would be in excess of the aggregate payments under this Agreement actually remitted to such TRA Party.

(d) Subject to Section 7.6(b), a decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative shall constitute a decision of all TRA Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each TRA Party, and the Corporate Taxpayer may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each TRA Party. The Corporate Taxpayer is hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by the Corporate Taxpayer in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, JAWS, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), are concurrently entering into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number and type of Equity Securities of the Seller set forth on Schedule A hereto (together with any other units or other Equity Securities of the Seller that the Supporting Seller Unitholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject Seller Units”);

WHEREAS, in consideration for the benefits to be received by the Supporting Seller Unitholder under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a material inducement to JAWS agreeing to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Supporting Seller Unitholder agrees to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that JAWS would not have entered into and agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement without the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.    Supporting Seller Unitholder Consent and Related Matters.

(a)    As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Supporting Seller Unitholder shall duly execute and deliver to the Seller and JAWS the Seller Unitholder Written Consent under which it shall irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the matters, actions and proposals contemplated by Section 5.12(b) (Transaction Support Agreements; Seller Unitholder Approval; Subscription Agreements) of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 1(a), prior to the Closing, the Supporting Seller Unitholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units against and withhold consent with respect to (A) any Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach of any of the Seller’s

Table of Contents

covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or (y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.

(b)    Without limiting any other rights or remedies of JAWS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder hereby irrevocably appoints JAWS or any individual designated by JAWS as the Supporting Seller Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of the Supporting Seller Unitholder, to attend on behalf of the Supporting Seller Unitholder any meeting of the Seller Unitholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Subject Seller Units in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Seller Unitholders, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Seller Unitholders or any action by written consent by the Seller Unitholders (including the Seller Unitholder Written Consent), in each case, in the event that the Supporting Seller Unitholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a).

(c)    The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for JAWS entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Supporting Seller Unitholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder with respect to the Subject Seller Units. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(b) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Seller Units and a vote or consent by the Supporting Seller Unitholder of the Subject Seller Units (or any other Person with the power to vote the Subject Seller Units) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Supporting Seller Unitholder may vote the Subject Seller Units on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

2.    Other Covenants and Agreements.

(a)    The Supporting Seller Unitholder shall be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto, and (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.5(a) (Exclusive Dealing) and Section 9.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto.

(b)     The Supporting Seller Unitholder acknowledges and agrees that JAWS is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement JAWS would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

3.    Supporting Seller Unitholder Representations and Warranties. The Supporting Seller Unitholder represents and warrants to JAWS as follows:

(a)    The Supporting Seller Unitholder is a corporation, limited liability company or other applicable business entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent

CANO HEALTH, INC.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The name of the plan is the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible employees of Cano Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and each Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11) with opportunities to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value [$0.001] per share (the “Common Stock”). An aggregate of 4,700,000 shares of Common Stock have been approved and reserved for this purpose, plus on January 1, 2022, and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2031 the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by the least of (i) 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) one percent (1%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31st, or (iii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in Section 1). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Plan shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Section 11. This Plan is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the person or persons (the “Administrator”) appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for such purpose. The Administrator has authority at any time to: (i) adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for the administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; (ii) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; (iii) make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; (iv) decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and (v) otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. All interpretations and decisions of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or individual exercising administrative authority with respect to the Plan shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted hereunder.

2. Offerings. The Company may make one or more offerings to eligible employees to purchase Common Stock under the Plan (“Offerings”). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Offering will begin on the first business day occurring on or after each May 1 and November 1 and will end on the last business day occurring on or before the following October 3 and April 30, respectively. The Administrator may, in its discretion, designate a different period for any Offering, provided that no Offering shall exceed one year in duration or overlap any other Offering.

3. Eligibility. All individuals classified as employees on the payroll records of the Company and each Designated Subsidiary are eligible to participate in any one or more of the Offerings under the Plan, provided that as of the first day of the applicable Offering (the “Offering Date”) they are customarily employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for more than 20 hours a week. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for purposes of the Company’s or applicable Designated Subsidiary’s payroll system are not considered to be eligible employees of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary and shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. In the event any such individuals are reclassified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for any purpose, including, without limitation, common law or statutory employees, by any action of any third party, including, without limitation, any government agency, or as a result of any private lawsuit, action or administrative proceeding, such individuals shall, notwithstanding such reclassification, remain ineligible for participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive means for individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on the Company’s or Designated Subsidiary’s payroll system to become eligible to participate in this Plan is through an amendment to this Plan, duly executed by the Company, which specifically renders such individuals eligible to participate herein.

4. Participation.

(a) Participants. An eligible employee who is not a Participant in any prior Offering may participate in a subsequent Offering by submitting an enrollment form to his or her appropriate payroll location at least 15 business days before the Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering).

(b) Enrollment. The enrollment form will (a) state a whole percentage to be deducted from an eligible employee’s Compensation (as defined in Section 11) per pay period, (b) authorize the purchase of Common Stock in each Offering in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (c) specify the exact name or names in which shares of Common Stock purchased for such individual are to be issued pursuant to Section 10. An employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures will be deemed to have waived the right to participate. Unless a Participant files a new enrollment form or withdraws from the Plan, such Participant’s deductions and purchases will continue at the same percentage of Compensation for future Offerings, provided he or she remains eligible.

5. Employee Contributions. Each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions at a minimum of one percent (1%) up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of such employee’s Compensation for each pay period. The Company will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions made by each Participant for each Offering. No interest will accrue or be paid on payroll deductions.

6. Deduction Changes. Except as may be determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering, a Participant may not increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction during any Offering, but may increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction with respect to the next Offering (subject to the limitations of Section 5) by filing a new enrollment form at least fifteen (15) business days before the next Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering). The Administrator may, in advance of any Offering, establish rules permitting a Participant to increase, decrease or terminate his or her payroll deduction during an Offering.

7. Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from participation in the Plan by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to his or her appropriate payroll location. The Participant’s withdrawal will be effective as of the next business day. Following a Participant’s withdrawal, the Company will promptly refund such individual’s entire account balance under the Plan to him or her (after payment for any Common Stock purchased before the effective date of withdrawal). Partial withdrawals are not permitted. Such an employee may not begin participation again during the remainder of the Offering, but may enroll in a subsequent Offering in accordance with Section 4.

8. Grant of Options. On each Offering Date, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a Participant in the Plan an option (“Option”) to purchase on the last day of such Offering (the “Exercise Date”), at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, the lowest of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on such Exercise Date by the Option Price (as defined herein), or (b) such other lesser maximum number of shares or value as shall have been established by the Administrator in advance of the Offering; provided, however, that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth below. Each Participant’s Option shall be exercisable only to the extent of such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date. The purchase price for each share purchased under each Option (the “Option Price”) will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less. If determined by the Administrator, a maximum value may be established, whereby no Participant may be granted an Option which permits such Participant rights to purchase stock under the Plan to accrue at a rate which exceeds such a value based on the fair market value of such stock (determined on the option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding.

9. Exercise of Option and Purchase of Shares. Each employee who continues to be a Participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his or her Option on such date and shall acquire from the Company such number of whole shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as his or her

 

K-2


Table of Contents

accumulated payroll deductions on such date will purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the Plan. Any amount remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share will be carried forward to the next Offering; any other balance remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering will be refunded to the Participant promptly.

10. Issuance of Certificates. Certificates or book-entries at the Company’s transfer agent representing shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or in the name of a broker authorized by the employee to be his, her or their nominee for such purpose.

11. Definitions.

The term “Compensation” means the regular or basic rate of compensation.

The term “Designated Subsidiary” means any present or future subsidiary of the Company as defined below that has been designated by the Board to participate in the Plan. The Board may so designate any subsidiary, or revoke any such designation, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the Plan is approved by the stockholders. The current list of Designated Subsidiaries is attached hereto as Appendix A.

The term “Fair Market Value of the Common Stock” on any given date means the fair market value of the Common Stock determined in good faith by the Administrator; provided, however, that if the Common Stock is admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), the NASDAQ Global Market, The New York Stock Exchange or traded on any established market, the determination shall be made by reference to the closing price on such date. If there is no closing price for such date, the determination shall be made by reference to the last date preceding such date for which there is a closing price.

The term “Participant” means an individual who is eligible as determined in Section 3 and who has complied with the provisions of Section 4.

12. Rights on Termination of Employment. If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason before the Exercise Date for any Offering, no payroll deduction will be taken from any pay due and owing to the Participant and the balance in the Participant’s account will be paid to such Participant or, in the case of such Participant’s death, to his or her designated beneficiary as if such Participant had withdrawn from the Plan under Section 7. An employee will be deemed to have terminated employment, for this purpose, if the corporation that employs him or her, having been a Designated Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, or if the employee is transferred to any corporation other than the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. An employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment for this purpose if the employee is on an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise provides in writing.

13. Special Rules and Sub-Plans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator may adopt special rules applicable to the employees of a particular Designated Subsidiary, whenever the Administrator determines that such rules are necessary or appropriate for the implementation of the Plan in a jurisdiction where such Designated Subsidiary has employees.

14. Optionees Not Stockholders. Neither the granting of an Option to a Participant nor the deductions from his or her pay shall constitute such Participant a holder of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option under the Plan until such shares have been purchased by and issued to him or her.

15. Rights Not Transferable. Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.

16. Application of Funds. All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for any corporate purpose.

 

K-3


Table of Contents

17. Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Common Stock. In the event of a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the payment of a dividend in Common Stock or any other change affecting the Common Stock, the number of shares approved for the Plan shall be equitably or proportionately adjusted to give proper effect to such event.

18. Amendment of the Plan. The Board may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any respect.

19. Insufficient Shares. If the total number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be purchased on any Exercise Date plus the number of shares purchased under previous Offerings under the Plan exceeds the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan, the shares then available shall be apportioned among Participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of each Participant that would otherwise be used to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date.

20. Termination of the Plan. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded.

21. Governmental Regulations. The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Common Stock under the Plan is subject to obtaining all governmental approvals required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such stock.

22. Governing Law. This Plan and all Options and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

23. Issuance of Shares. Shares may be issued upon exercise of an Option from authorized but unissued Common Stock, from shares held in the treasury of the Company, or from any other proper source.

24. Tax Withholding. Participation in the Plan is subject to any minimum required tax withholding on income of the Participant in connection with the Plan. Each Participant agrees, by entering the Plan, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, including shares issuable under the Plan.

25. Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective upon the date upon which the registration statement on Form S-8 that is filed by the Company following stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company’s bylaws and articles of incorporation, each as amended, and applicable stock exchange rules.

In exercising any discretion granted to the Administrator under the Plan or pursuant to any Award, the Administrator shall not be required to follow past practices, act in a manner consistent with past practices, or treat any grantee in a manner consistent with the treatment of any other grantee. All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.

(c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. Subject to applicable law, the Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to a committee consisting of one or more officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards to individuals who are (i) not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) not members of the delegated committee. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Stock underlying Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan.

(d) Award Certificate. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Certificates that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award and the provisions applicable in the event employment or service terminates.

(e) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company’s articles or bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company.

(f) Foreign Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply, or facilitate compliance, with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to this Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply, or facilitate compliance, with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION

(a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 52,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3. Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 52,000,000 shares of Stock.

L-4


Table of Contents

the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the shares of Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.

(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares subject to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash or share dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

(c) Mergers and Other Transactions.

(i) In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards (“New Awards”) of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, in a manner that preserves the material terms of such Awards as in effect immediately prior to such Sale Event as determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion).

(ii) To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, all Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals shall become vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event to the extent earned as determined in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Certificate. In the event of such termination, (A) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) over (y) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (provided that, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Sale Price, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled for no consideration); or (B) each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to

 

L-5


Table of Contents

exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee. The Company shall also have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding other Awards in an amount equal to the Sale Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards.

(d) Maximum Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the value of all Awards awarded under this Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to any Non-Employee Director in any calendar year for service as a Non-Employee Director shall not exceed $_____, provided, however that such amount shall be $_____ for the calendar year in which the applicable Non-Employee Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board. For the purpose of this limitation, the value of any Award shall be its grant date fair value, as determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718 or successor provision but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions.1

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

Grantees under the Plan will be such current or future employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided that Awards may not be granted to employees, Directors or Consultants who are or would be providing services only to any “parent” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Act, unless (i) the stock underlying the Awards is treated as “service recipient stock” under Section 409A or (ii) the Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, has determined that such Awards are exempt from or otherwise comply with Section 409A.

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS

(a) Award of Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Stock Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve.

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Options may be granted with an exercise price per share that is less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (i) pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income tax on the date of grant, or (iii) if the Stock Option is otherwise compliant with Section 409A.

(c) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

Table of Contents

(d) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.

(e) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option Award Certificate:

(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;

(ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company may prescribe) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure;

(iv) With respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; or

(v) Through any other method as may be determined by the Administrator from time to time.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or applicable provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

(f) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(a) Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the applicable Award Certificate) having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.

 

L-7


Table of Contents

(b) Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.

(c) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.

(d) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined on the date of grant by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company during the performance period shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the performance goals are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantee’s employment (or other Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at their original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such grantee’s legal representative simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other Service Relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.

(d) Vesting of Restricted Shares. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.”

SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of stock units that may be settled in shares of Stock (or cash, to the extent explicitly provided for in the Award Certificate) upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the

 

L-8


Table of Contents

time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. Except in the case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates are subject to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

(b) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate.

(c) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the stock units underlying his or her Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 11 and such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

(d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.

SECTION 10. CASH-BASED AWARDS

Grant of Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant Cash-Based Awards under the Plan. A Cash-Based Award is an Award that entitles the grantee to a payment in cash upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The Administrator shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash.

SECTION 11. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

(a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that

 

L-9


Table of Contents

would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.

(b) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 12. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

(a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 12(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order, at the Administrator’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void.

(b) Administrator Action. Notwithstanding Section 12(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value.

(c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 12(b), “family member” shall mean a grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests.

(d) Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Administrator and subject to compliance with applicable law, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate.

SECTION 13. TAX WITHHOLDING

Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amount received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to

 

L-10


Table of Contents

the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld with respect to an Award. The Administrator may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, permit or require a grantee to satisfy, all or any portion of the applicable taxes that are required to be withheld with respect to an Award by (i) the delivery of shares of Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the grantee and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate fair market value equal to such withholding liability (or portion thereof); (ii) having the Company withhold from the shares of Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the grantee upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of the Award, as applicable, a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate fair market value equal to the amount of such withholding liability; or (iii) by any other means specified in the applicable Award Certificate or otherwise determined by the Administrator. In addition, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligations to settle any Awards granted under the Plan is subject to and condition on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

SECTION 14. 409A AWARDS

Awards are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.

SECTION 15. TERMINATION OF SERVICE RELATIONSHIP, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.

(a) Termination of Service Relationship. If the grantee’s Service Relationship is with an Affiliate and such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated his or her Service Relationship for purposes of the Plan.

(b) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of a Service Relationship:

(i) a transfer to the employment of the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another; or

(ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.

SECTION 16. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall materially and adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Except as provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c), without prior stockholder approval, in no event may the

 

L-11


Table of Contents

Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash or other Awards. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by Company stockholders. Nothing in this Section 16 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c).

SECTION 17. STATUS OF PLAN

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) No Distribution. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.

(b) Issuance of Stock. To the extent certificated, stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any evidence of book entry or certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise or settlement of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. Any Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate or notations on any book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

(c) Stockholder Rights. Until Stock is delivered or deemed delivered in accordance with Section 18(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

(d) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such

 

L-12


Table of Contents

arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.

(f) Clawback Policy. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time.

SECTION 19. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

This Plan shall become effective upon the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, subject to prior stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company’s bylaws and articles of incorporation, and applicable stock exchange rules. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.

SECTION 20. GOVERNING LAW

This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

Item 20.

Indemnification of directors and officers and Financial Statements Schedules

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provided for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Undertakings.

 

  1.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

 

  (b)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-3


Table of Contents
  (d)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

  (e)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  2.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

 

  3.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  4.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

 

II-4


Table of Contents
  5.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.

 

  6.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800

Miami Beach, Florida 33139

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are United States tax counsel to Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Jaws”), in connection with the preparation of the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented as of March 15, 2021, and together with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed therewith, the “Registration Statement”) (Registration No. 333-252414) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 25, 2021, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by Jaws. The Registration Statement relates to the registration of (i) 86,250,000 shares of common stock, (ii) 33,533,333 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, and (iii) 33,533,333 warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

The Registration Statement is being filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Jaws, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (such transactions, including the Domestication, the “Business Combination”).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings attributed to such terms in the Registration Statement.

You have requested our opinion concerning the discussion of the Domestication set forth in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares” in the Registration Statement (the “Tax Disclosure”). In providing this opinion, we have assumed (without any independent investigation or review thereof) that:

a.    All original documents submitted to us (including signatures thereto) are authentic, all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original documents, all such documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof, and all parties to such documents had or will have, as applicable, the requisite corporate powers and authority to enter into such documents and to undertake and consummate the Business Combination;

b.    All factual representations, warranties and statements made or agreed to by the parties to the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the other agreements referred to in each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Agreements” and, together with the Registration Statement, the “Documents”), and in the representation letter provided to us by Jaws, are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof and will remain true, correct and complete through the consummation of Transactions (as defined below), in each case without regard to any qualification as to knowledge, belief, materiality, or otherwise;

c.    The descriptions of Jaws in the Registration Statement, the registration statement filed in connection with Jaws’ initial public offering, and Jaws’ other public filings are true, accurate and complete;

d.    The description of the Business Combination and other transactions related to the Business Combination (together, the “Transactions”) in the Registration Statement is and will remain true, accurate and complete, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with such description and with the Merger Agreement and the other Agreements, without any waiver or breach of any material provision thereof, and the Business Combination will be effective under applicable corporate law as described in the Merger Agreement and the other Agreements; and

e.    The Documents represent the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the Business Combination and other Transactions, there are no other written or oral agreements regarding the Transactions other than the Agreements, and none of the material terms and conditions thereof have been or will be waived or modified.

This opinion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the interpretation of the Code and such regulations by the courts and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, in each case, as they are in effect and exist at the date of this opinion. It should be noted that statutes, regulations, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect. Any change that is made after the date hereof in any of the foregoing bases for our opinion, or any inaccuracy in the facts or assumptions on which we have relied in issuing our opinion, could adversely affect our conclusion. We assume no responsibility to inform you of any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention or to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof. No opinion is expressed as to any transactions other than the Domestication in connection with the Business Combination, or any matter other

than those specifically covered by this opinion. In particular, this opinion is limited to the matters discussed in the Tax Disclosure, and does not address (i) the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any shareholder subject to special rules under the Code or the Treasury Regulations, as further described in the Tax Disclosure, (ii) any matter arising in connection with Section 367 of the Code, or (iii) any matter arising in connection with the “passive foreign investment company” rules of Sections 1291-1297 of the Code.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transactions described in the Registration Statement are complex and are subject to varying interpretations. Our opinion is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any court, and there can be no assurance or guarantee that either will agree with our conclusions. Indeed, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may challenge one or more of the conclusions contained herein, and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may take a position that is inconsistent with the views expressed herein. There can be no assurance or guarantee that a court would, if presented with the issues addressed herein, reach the same or similar conclusions as we have reached.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we confirm that the statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication to Jaws Shareholders—U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Jaws Shares,” insofar as they address the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication for beneficial owners of shares of Jaws common stock and Jaws warrants, and discuss matters of U.S. federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, and except to the extent stated otherwise therein, are our opinion, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations stated herein and therein.

This opinion is furnished to you solely for use in connection with the Registration Statement. This opinion is based on facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Lender of the applicable Class or Classes with a copy of the Auction Notice and a form of the Return Bid to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date specified in the Auction Notice (or such later date as the Auction Party may agree with the reasonable consent of the Auction Agent) (the “Auction Response Date”).

In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Auction Agent, an Assignment and Assumption with the dollar amount of the Term Loans to be assigned to be left in blank, which amount shall be completed by the Auction Agent (but in no such event shall the amount be in excess of the principal amount of Term Loans such Lender has indicated it is willing to sell) in accordance with the final determination of such Lender’s Qualifying Bid pursuant to clause (c) below.

The Auction Party shall purchase the relevant Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Lender with a Reply Price that is equal to or lower than the Applicable Price (“Qualifying Bids”) at the

 

28


Applicable Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Auction Party shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Price ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Auction Agent in its discretion). If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Prices, only the bid with the lowest Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Price will be deemed to be the Qualifying Bid of such Lender (e.g., a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2.0%, when compared to an Applicable Price of $100 with a 1.0% discount to par, will not be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid, while, however, a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2.50% would be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Auction Response Date with respect to an Auction, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and the tranches thereof to be purchased pursuant to such Auction, (II) each participating Lender of the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date, (III) each participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of the Term Loans of such Lender to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date and (IV) if applicable, each participating Lender of any rounding and/or proration pursuant to the second preceding sentence. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(d) Additional Procedures.

(i) Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction Party may not withdraw an Auction other than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Price.

(ii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this definition, established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

For the purposes of determining Effective Yield with respect to the Term Loans of any Class, if the Term Loans of such Class shall have been incurred at different times with different amounts of original issue discount or upfront fees, then the Effective Yield with respect to the Term Loans of such Class will be determined on the basis of the higher of (i) the original issue discount or upfront fees with respect to such of the Term Loans of such Class as shall have been first made under this Agreement and (ii) the weighted average of the amounts of the original issue discount and/or upfront fees with respect to all the Term Loans of such Class.

SECTION 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP; Pro Forma Basis.

(a) All financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature that are used in calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date of delivery of the financial statements described in Section 3.04(a) in GAAP or in the application thereof (including the conversion to IFRS as described below) on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change becomes effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided, further, that if such an amendment is requested by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, then the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof; provided, further, that all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (c) notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance on February 25, 2016 of the Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions and calculations for purposes of the Loan Documents (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in the financial statements to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.10 hereof, all financial ratios and tests (including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA) contained in this Agreement that

 

73


are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which any Subject Transaction occurs (or with respect to any Test Period to determine whether any Subject Transaction is permitted to be consummated) shall be calculated with respect to such Test Period and such Subject Transaction (including such Subject Transaction that is to be consummated) on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test, any Subject Transaction has occurred, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred as of the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets, as of the last day of such Test Period), provided that when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definitions of “Commitment Fee Rate” and the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the Financial Covenant (other than for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis as a condition to taking any action under this Agreement), the Subject Transactions that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. For purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant on a Pro Forma Basis prior to March 31, 2021, the applicable level shall be the first level cited in Section 6.14(a)(i). All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or to the determination of or any other amount for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference (including any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets) shall, in each case, be deemed to include each Affiliated Practice Group that is a Consolidated Subsidiary as if such Affiliated Practice Group were a Restricted Subsidiary as defined herein.

SECTION 1.05 Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect to the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, unless the context otherwise requires.

SECTION 1.06 Timing of Payment of Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

SECTION 1.07 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

SECTION 1.08 Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of any determination under Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.14 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, Affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance (any of the foregoing, a “specified transaction”) in a currency other than Dollars the Dollar equivalent amount of a specified transaction shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of such specified transaction (or, at the election of the Borrower, such other date as shall be applicable with respect to such specified transaction pursuant to Section 1.10(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) if any Indebtedness is incurred or assumed (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and the relevant

 

74


refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus other reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 (or, if applicable, secured under Section 6.02) and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any specified transaction (or, if applicable, as of such other time as is applicable to such specified transaction pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence). For purposes of Section 6.14 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used by the Borrower in preparing the financial statements for the relevant Test Period and may, at the election of the Borrower, with respect to any Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that the Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.14(a) if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with Section 6.14(a) if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account, at the election of the Borrower, the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.14(a), the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.

SECTION 1.09 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with any extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing of any Class of Loans hereunder, any Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, elect to accept any other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of this Agreement in lieu of all or any part of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage or other applicable share of any payment hereunder with respect to such Loans, it being agreed that (a) such acceptance shall not be subject to any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement and (b) notice of such acceptance shall be provided to the Administrative Agent and, if such other Indebtedness is in the form of Loans, the mechanics of the cashless settlement thereof shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

 

75


SECTION 1.10 Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (including any such requirement that is to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis) (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, (ii) the making or accuracy of any representation or warranty or (iii) the absence of any Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment that is not conditioned on obtaining third party financing (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”) and/or (B) the making of any Restricted Debt Payment requiring irrevocable advance notice thereof (or, in each case, any assumption or incurrence of any Indebtedness in connection therewith, including any Incremental Facility), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower, (1) in the case of any Limited Condition Acquisition, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment or (y) the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, provided, that, in the case of clause (x) above, during the period between the signing of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and such time as such Limited Condition Acquisition has been consummated or the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition has been terminated or abandoned or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) any such financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such acquisition or Investment (and other transactions in connection therewith, including any assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) has been consummated and (B) solely with respect to any calculation of compliance with a financial ratio that is a condition to the making of any Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment, the calculation of such financial ratio shall be tested both (I) on a Pro Forma Basis for such Limited Condition Acquisition and (II) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition is not consummated and (2) in the case of any such Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition or Restricted Debt Payment on a Pro Forma Basis and if, after giving pro forma effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and/or Restricted Debt Payment and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the applicable test date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant test date in compliance with such financial ratio or basket, such financial ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an election pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) and if any of such ratios, baskets or amounts are exceeded subsequent to the applicable test date as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower or the person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken.

(b) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be (or, in each case, such other time as is applicable thereto pursuant to clause (a) above), and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a subsequent change in such financial ratio or test.

 

76


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including Incremental Facilities) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Revolving Facilities and any other revolving facility) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”), substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (even if part of the same transaction or, in the case of Indebtedness, the same tranche, as any Incurrence-Based Amounts) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, but giving full pro forma effect to any increase in the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets (including Unrestricted Cash) resulting from the reliance on the Fixed Amounts. It is further agreed that in connection with the calculation of any financial ratio applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, such test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for the incurrence of such Indebtedness (including the application of the proceeds thereof), but without netting the Cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, and in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting revolving Indebtedness or delayed draw Indebtedness, assuming that such Indebtedness is fully drawn. Any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Fixed Amount shall be automatically reclassified as incurred under the Incurrence-Based Amount at such time as the Borrower meets the applicable ratio under the Incurrence-Based Amount at such time on a pro forma basis.

(d) It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause or subclause of Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06 or 6.08, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination of clauses or subclauses of such Section, all as classified or, to the extent such alternative classification would have been permitted at the time of the relevant action, reclassified by the Borrower in its sole discretion, and shall constitute a usage of any availability under such clause or subclause only to the extent so classified or reclassified thereto; provided that (i) the Credit Facilities may only be permitted under Section 6.01(a) and secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a) and (ii) Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(q), 6.01(w) or 6.01(y), to the extent such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on the Collateral that are pari passu with or junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Credit Facilities, may not be reclassified to any other clause of Section 6.01 and such Liens on the Collateral may only be incurred under Section 6.02(s) or 6.02(t), as applicable. In addition, for purposes of determining compliance at any time with Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 or 6.05, if any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or Investment (or a portion thereof), as applicable, that was previously incurred, made or otherwise undertaken as having been incurred, made or otherwise undertaken under any “ratio-based” basket set forth in such Section would, using the figures as of the end of or for the most recently ended Test Period, be permitted under the applicable “ratio-based” basket, then such item (or such portion thereof) shall be automatically reclassified as having been incurred under the applicable “ratio-based” basket; provided that, in the case of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, any such reclassification shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence.

 

77


(e) For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement, (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal, as of any date of determination, to the principal amount thereof that would appear on a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as of such date prepared in accordance with GAAP and (ii) the accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness or additional shares of Capital Stock and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, to the extent secured, shall not be deemed to result in an increase of the obligations so secured or to be a grant of a Lien securing any such obligations.

SECTION 1.11 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up for five).

ARTICLE 2

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01 Commitments.

(a) Initial Term Commitments; Initial Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Initial Term Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Term Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date in Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Commitment and (ii) each Initial Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Revolving Loans to the Borrower in Dollars at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (A) the amount of such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the sum of the total Initial Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Initial Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Delayed Draw Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period, each Delayed Draw Term Lender with a Delayed Draw Term Commitment severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Borrower on each Delayed Draw Funding Date in Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Delayed Draw Term Commitment; provided that there shall not be more than five Delayed Draw Funding Dates during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period. Each Delayed Draw Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment shall (x) be permanently reduced on each Delayed Draw Funding Date by the principal amount funded by each such Delayed Draw Term Lender on such Delayed Draw Funding Date and (y) terminate immediately and without further action on the Delayed Draw Termination Date. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Delayed Draw Term Loans (or, at the election of the Administrative Agent (such election to be notified to the Borrower and each Delayed Draw Term Lender), upon the Delayed Draw Termination Date), the outstanding principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be automatically deemed to constitute Initial Term Loans thereafter for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that such outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each then outstanding Borrowing of Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Term Loan Lender that holds outstanding Term Loans and such Delayed Draw Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Initial Term Loans (after giving effect to the conversion pursuant to this

 

78


sentence). To the extent this clause (b) requires that Delayed Draw Term Lenders making new Delayed Draw Term Loans add such Delayed Draw Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Initial Term Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Delayed Draw Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans of the respective Term Facility and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent determines, in consultation with the Borrower, on or prior to any Delayed Draw Funding Date that the Delayed Draw Term Loans and the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date will be treated as separate issues of debt instruments for tax purposes, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion) require that the Delayed Draw Term Loans be incurred as a separate tranche of Term Loans hereunder and, without the consent of any other Lender, together with the Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to address technical issues relating to the treatment of the Delayed Draw Term Loans as a separate tranche of Term Loans hereunder.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, each Lender with an Additional Commitment of a given Class, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Additional Loans of such Class to the Borrower, which Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Additional Commitment of such Class of such Lender as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Eurodollar Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply); provided, further, that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.14 or 2.16 with respect to such Eurodollar Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, provided that a Eurodollar Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the

 

79


time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest Periods as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 2.02(c), each initial Borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount that remains available).

SECTION 2.04 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees, at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 30 days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date (determined, with respect to each Issuing Bank, giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(viii)), upon the request of the Borrower, (i) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower will be a co-applicant and, to the extent requested by such Issuing Bank, such Restricted Subsidiary shall have provided documentation and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations) in support of its or its subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, and (ii) to amend, extend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue trade or commercial Letters of Credit unless such type of Letter of Credit is approved for issuance by such Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, or entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with, the relevant Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent inconsistent herewith shall be rendered null and void (or reformed automatically without further action by any Person to conform to the terms of this Agreement), and all representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person). The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.11(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit).

 

81


(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension permitted pursuant to clause (c) of this Section)), the Borrower shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank or, in the case of any issuance to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto or such other form as the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree to, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit and provide any documentation or other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations for the beneficiary and any party to be named on such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Issuing Bank Sublimit.

(c) Expiration Date. No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that, if the Borrower so requests in any applicable letter of credit application, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to an Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date set forth in Section 2.05(c)(ii) (or, if cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, a later date); provided, however, that the relevant Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.05(c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case, directing the relevant Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

 

82


(d) Participations. By the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to any Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars the amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m. on the later of (i) the second Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made or (ii) the date on which such LC Disbursement is made; provided, that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or

 

83


inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligation hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.05(f) shall be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class); provided, that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank; Designation of New Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may (i) replace any Issuing Bank with any other Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity or (ii) designate as an additional Issuing Bank any Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity, in each case pursuant to an agreement in writing executed by the Borrower and such other

 

84


Person; provided that (A) any replacement or additional Issuing Bank shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (B) such agreement shall set forth the Issuing Bank Sublimit of such replacement or additional Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement or addition of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or addition, (A) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or additional Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Required Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this clause (j), the Borrower shall deposit, in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 103.0% of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided, that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this clause (j). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account, and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

(k) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of

 

85


Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank pays any amount in respect of one or more drawings under Letters of Credit, the date of such payment(s) and the amount of such payment(s), (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any amount required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such payment in respect of Letters of Credit and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than (i) 12:00 p.m., in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) 12:00 p.m. in the case of ABR Loans, in each case, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in each case, in respect of any Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, such other time as may be specified for therein) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided, that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall cease. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. If the Borrower and such Lender shall both pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

86


SECTION 2.07 Type; Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (which may be by telephone) by the date and time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

87


SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) the Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Delayed Draw Termination Date (after giving effect to any incurrence of Delayed Draw Term Loans on such date), (iii) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iv) the Additional Term Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, the undrawn amount thereof shall automatically terminate and (v) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

(b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 2.08(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (unless its is a reduction of all Commitments of such Class) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided, that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.21, 2.22 and/or 9.02, as applicable.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Commitments under clause (b) of this Section in writing at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date to which the Administrative Agent may agree), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of each applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied by the Borrower delivering notice to the Administrative Agent on the specified effective date. Any termination or reduction of any Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be permanent.

88


of any increase in the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or in connection with any conversion of Delayed Draw Term Loans to Initial Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in a manner to be determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), and (B) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(ii) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender (A) (x) on each Scheduled Payment Amortization Date commencing on the first Scheduled Payment Amortization Date occurring on the last Business Day of the first full Fiscal Quarter ended after any Delayed Draw Funding Date, in each case, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Delayed Term Loans made on each Delayed Draw Funding Date (in each case, as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 and repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21(a)), and (B) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding on such date, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which any Delayed Draw Term Loans are converted into Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b), this clause (ii) shall cease to apply to such Delayed Draw Term Loans, which shall instead be subject to clause (i) above.

(iii) The Borrower shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension/Modification Amendment (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 or repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the principal amount of the Additional Term Loan of such Class pursuant to Section 2.21(a)).

(c) (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Revolving Lender, the then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans of such Lender on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (B) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Additional Revolving Lender, the then outstanding principal amount of each Additional Revolving Loan of such Additional Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date applicable thereto.

89

(g) Any Lender may request that any Loan made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver a Promissory Note to such Lender payable to such Lender and its registered assigns; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.05(b)(iii) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable).

(iii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (B) in the case of any prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. one Business Day before the day of prepayment (or, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), such other time as to which the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied by the Borrower delivering notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date.

91


of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to prepay or repurchase (or offer to prepay or repurchase) any Other First Lien Indebtedness with any portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount, then the Borrower may apply such portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such ECF Prepayment Amount required to be allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such ECF Prepayment Amount shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment or repurchase of the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(i) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of the Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale or any Casualty/Condemnation Event, in each case, in excess of $3,000,000 in any Fiscal Year or $10,000,000 in the aggregate, the Borrower shall, not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt thereof, apply an amount equal to 100.0% of such Net Proceeds in excess of such threshold (such Net Proceeds being referred to as the “Specified Net Proceeds”) to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b); provided, that (A) if prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries intend to reinvest the Specified Net Proceeds in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Cash or Cash Equivalents, but including any reinvestment in the form of an acquisition or a similar Investment and any Investment in any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Investment), then so long as no Event of Default exists at the time of the delivery of such notice, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under this Section 2.10(b)(ii) in respect of the Specified Net Proceeds to the extent that (1) the Specified Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 18 months following receipt thereof or (2) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has committed so to reinvest the Specified Net Proceeds during such 18-month period and the Specified Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after the expiration of such 18-month period, provided further that to the extent the Specified Net Proceeds have not been so reinvested prior to the expiration of the applicable period, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the expiration of the applicable period) prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (but without giving effect to clause (A) above) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the Specified Net Proceeds not so reinvested, and (B) if at the time that any prepayment would be required under this Section 2.10(b)(ii), the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to prepay or repurchase (or offer to prepay or repurchase) any Other First Lien Indebtedness with any portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds, then the Borrower may apply such portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of the Specified Net Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of the Specified Net Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment or repurchase of the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been

 

92


required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of the Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, except to the extent the relevant Indebtedness constitutes (A) Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p), (B) Incremental Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21, (C) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.02(c) and/or (D) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to finance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.01(y)), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the next succeeding Business Day after) the receipt of such Net Proceeds by the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100.0% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b).

(iv) Within five (5) Business Days after the closing of the Acquisition, apply an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of the PIPE Equity Contribution in an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10(b) to the contrary:

(A) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Foreign Subsidiary, the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Casualty/Condemnation Event affects the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as the repatriation to the Borrower of any such amount would be prohibited under any applicable law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager or member of management of such Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the event or calculation giving rise to such repatriation, required by applicable law to permit such repatriation without violating local law or incurring material tax, regulatory or cost consequences); it being understood that if the repatriation of the relevant affected Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the applicable law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, and the repatriated Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (A)),

 

93


(B) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or the relevant Specified Net Proceeds are received by any joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, in each case, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds would be prohibited under the Organizational Documents or joint venture agreements governing such joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, the relevant joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (B)),

(C) if the Borrower determines in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that the repatriation to the Borrower of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) that are attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would result in a material Tax liability to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of the direct or indirect owners of Capital Stock of the Borrower (including any material withholding Tax or any material tax distribution) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii), as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; it being understood that to the extent that the repatriation of the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds attributable to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow or the Specified Net Proceeds, as applicable and to the extent available, not previously applied pursuant to this clause (C) shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (C)), and

(D) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the non-application of any amount required to be prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.10(b)(i) – (iv) as a result of the exceptions set forth in clause (C) above shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, and any such amounts shall remain available for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries for so long as such amounts are not required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(v) Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) (other than clause (iii) or (iv) thereof), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case the remaining amount thereof may be retained by the Borrower. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

 

94


(vi) Except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment, any Incremental Facility Amendment or any Extension/Modification Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding, provided that any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2.10(b) resulting from Indebtedness of the kind described in the parenthetical to such clause shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans being refinanced. With respect to each Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of such Term Loans in direct order of maturity), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Any mandatory prepayment by the Borrower of the Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class, irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided, that in the case of a mandatory prepayment under clause (iii) or, if no Lenders exercise the right to waive such mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (v), any other clause of this Section 2.10(b), the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are ABR Loans and then to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15.

(vii) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (A) prepaying Revolving Loans or (B) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 103.0% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account or any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank). Each prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing under this Section 2.10(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.

(viii) Prepayments made under this Section 2.10(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12, (B) subject to Section 2.15 and (C) in the case of prepayments of Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans under clause (iii) above as part of a Repricing Transaction, subject to Section 2.11(e), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.11 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such

For purposes of calculating the commitment fee, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class of any Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Loans of such Class of such Revolving Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on March 31, 2021, for the period since the Closing Date) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing, if applicable, with March 31, 2021); provided, that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee described in the Fee Letter.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to any Issuing Bank). Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter.

(e) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the earlier of (x) the Allocation Date and (y) December 31, 2020, the Borrower (i) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans in a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (ii) effects any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that constitutes a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (A) in the case of clause (i), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced,

substituted or replaced and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction and that are required to be assigned by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b) as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to such amendment, waiver or other modification (it being understood and agreed that, to the extent a Lender replaced pursuant to Section 2.18(b) receives a prepayment fee pursuant to this Section 2.11(e), any assignee of such replaced Lender’s Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans (as applicable) and any subsequent assignee thereof shall not also be entitled to receive any prepayment fee in accordance with this Section 2.11(e)). All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(f) Beginning on the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Facility is “allocated” (as determined by the Arranger and notified to the Borrower, the “Allocation Date”) and (b) January 1, 2021 (such earlier date, the “Ticking Fee Start Date”), the Borrower shall pay a commitment fee (the “DDTL Ticking Fee”) on the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender as follows:

 

Date

  

DDTL Ticking Fee

For the period commencing on the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 30 days thereafter    0%
For the period commencing on the 31st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 60 days after the Ticking Fee Start Date    50% of the Applicable Rate for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans
For the period commencing on the 61st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date thereafter    100% of the Applicable Rate for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans

Such DDTL Ticking Fees shall accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with March 31, 2021) and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of March 31, 2021, for the period since the Ticking Fee Start Date) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with March 31, 2021) and shall also be payable on the Delayed Draw Term Termination Date after giving effect to any funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loans on such date (and including, without limitation, any termination of unutilized Delayed Draw Term Commitments on the Delayed Draw Termination Date).

(g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of accruing fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12 Interest.

(a) The Term Loans and Revolving Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

97


(b) The Term Loans and Revolving Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g), if any principal of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan, any LC Disbursement is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue principal shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Term Loan, Revolving Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan, Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section or in Section 2.05(h) or (ii) in the case of overdue interest or any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.12; provided, that no amount shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Accrued interest on each Term Loan and Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan and (iii) in the case of a Revolving Loan of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as applicable; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan (other than an ABR Revolving Loan of any Class prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

98


then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) of this Section have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in such clause (a)(i) have not arisen but (x) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the U.S. denominated in Dollars at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (including, to the extent the prevailing market convention for the application of such alternate rate of interest is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, changes relating to the application of such alternate rate of interest in such manner as is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, but for the avoidance of doubt, such changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (a) of this Section shall be applicable.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(ii) subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

99


(iii) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (1) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (2) such Lender invokes Section 2.19 or (3) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above, the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the London interbank market or the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (1) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto or (2) such Lender invokes Section 2.19.

(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.14 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (c) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the actual out-of pocket loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event, it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor, any loss of anticipated profit or margin and all administrative, processing or similar fees. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (ii) certifies that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment (as determined by the applicable withholding agent in good faith), then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), each Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes (without duplication with any amounts paid under Section 2.16(a)) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment under any Loan Document that is attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of

 

101


the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.16(f)(ii)(A), 2.16(f)(ii)(B) and 2.16(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;

 

102


(2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a participating Lender), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-4, IRS Form W- 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

 

103


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Definition of Lender. The term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this Section 2.16, include any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto and any payment required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.18(b) and 2.19, each borrowing of Loans of a given Class, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such

 

104


Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the date and time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) Subject in all respects to the provisions of each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or to any Issuing Bank or Lender from the Borrower constituting Secured Obligations, third, on a pro rata basis to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include periodic payments then due in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations), fourth, on a pro rata basis to (i) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unreimbursed amounts in respect of any drawing under a Letter of Credit; provided, that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.17(b), beginning with clause first above and (ii) (A) payment of the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal on the Loans and (B) payment of breakage, termination and other amounts then due and owing in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations, fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) or any other Secured Party by the Borrower, and sixth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default exists and no portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder shall be paid to the Borrower, other than a payment expressly contemplated herein, which shall be applied as required hereunder.

(c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of the other Lenders or sub-participations in LC Disbursements of the other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of each applicable Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) or (B) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or any of its participants in LC Disbursements to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.18(b), 2.21, 2.22, 9.02(c) and 9.05. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19 or (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending or issuing office for funding, booking or issuing its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.19, as the case may be, and (B) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19, (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (v) any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) is a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person (solely for this purpose, in each case, whether or not it was such at the time it acquired any Commitment or Loan (or any participation therein) subject to the assignment and delegation pursuant to this clause (b)) or (vi) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which the consent of the Required Lenders, the Required DDTL Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or the consent of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50.0% of the sum of the total Outstanding Amount of Loans and unused Commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender does

 

106


not provide its consent thereto (each such Lender described in this clause (vi), a “Non Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate all the Commitments of such Lender and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender (or terminate the Commitment of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), in each case, without any obligation to terminate any Commitment or prepay any Loan of any other Lender, provided, that if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then the Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Borrowings of the applicable Class (and, if no Revolving Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess, or (B) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided, that (1) subject to, in the case of any Lender that is a Disqualified Person, Section 9.05(f)(ii), such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including, to the extent applicable, amounts payable to it under Section 2.11(e) (it being understood and agreed that, to the extent a Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) receives a prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(e), any assignees of such replaced Lender’s Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans (as applicable) and any subsequent assignee thereof shall not also be entitled to receive any prepayment fee in accordance with Section 2.11(e)) payable to it under any Loan Document (if applicable, in each case, only to the extent the foregoing amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), (2) in the case of any assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment and delegation would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (3) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is required to assign and delegate any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such assignment and delegation and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.05, the failure of such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such assignment and delegation (and the corresponding sale and purchase) invalid), and any such assignment and delegation shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii).

 

107


SECTION 2.19 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such payment) and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(f);

(b) the Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Required DDTL Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that, to the extent provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(c) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j); fourth, as the

 

108


Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03 (as applicable) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Lenders (other than such Defaulting Lender holding such Delayed Draw Term Loans or Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders (as applicable) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class and, in the case of a Revolving Credit Facility, funded and unfunded participations are held in accordance with their Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages, in each case, without giving effect to Section 2.20(d); it being agreed that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank, cash collateralize for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in clause (i) above) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

 

109


(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100.0% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or that the related exposure has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.20(d) to its satisfaction, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent determines is necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fees, ticking fees or participation fees that were not paid to it during the period it was a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions), (ii) all waivers, amendments and modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20 and Section 9.02 during the period it was a Defaulting Lender shall be binding on it and (iii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21 Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time from and after the latest to occur of (I) the date that all commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Facility have been reduced to $0 and (II) the first to occur of (x) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (y) December 31, 2020 (such latest date, the “Incremental Start Date”), on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment, (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) add one or more new Classes of incremental revolving facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”) and/or (iii) increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any existing Class (any such increase, an “Incremental Increase” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility and any Incremental Revolving Facility, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, together with any Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans, collectively, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed, when taken together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Debt, the Incremental Cap; provided, that:

(i) no Incremental Term Facility may be in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be the remaining amount of the Incremental Cap or to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),

(ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide any Incremental Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender,

(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender, other than in its capacity, if any, as an Incremental Lender providing all or part of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan,

(iv) in the case of an Incremental Increase, the terms of such Incremental Increase (other than (A) to the extent not affecting fungibility for Tax purposes, original issue discount and upfront fees and (B) in the case of an Incremental Increase with respect to any Class of Term Loans, any escrow provisions applicable thereto (including any mandatory prepayment thereof required if the conditions to the release from escrow are not satisfied) prior to the release of the proceeds of any Incremental Loans made thereunder from escrow) shall be the same as the terms of the applicable Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Incremental Increase,

(v) the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided, that in the case of any Incremental Term Facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Facility (i) to the extent incurred (x) prior to the SPAC Closing Date or (y) from and after the SPAC Closing Date, if incurred in reliance on clause (2)(e) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” and (ii) effective prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Effective Yield applicable thereto (determined on the date of the effectiveness thereof) may not be more than 0.75% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans (determined as of such date but prior to any adjustment thereto pursuant to this clause (v)), unless the Effective Yield (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or Adjusted LIBO Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans is adjusted to be equal to the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility minus 0.75%; provided, further, that any increase in Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans due to the application or imposition of any “LIBOR” interest rate floor on any Incremental Term Facility may, at the election of the Borrower, be effected through an increase in the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor (and the corresponding adjustment to the Alternate Base Rate floor) applicable to the Initial Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans,

 

111


(vi) the Maturity Date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date and no Incremental Revolving Facility may have the Maturity Date earlier than (or require scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to) the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility,

(vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then- existing Class of Term Loans (without giving effect to the reduction of any required amortization payments from any prepayments of the Term Loans; provided, that Incremental Term Loans may be in the form of customary bridge loans so long as any Indebtedness for which such loans are exchanged for or that otherwise replaces such loans satisfies the requirements of this cluase (vii),

(viii) (A) any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall be pari passu or junior in right of payment and with respect to security with any then-existing Class of Loans or unsecured and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party (other than a Person that becomes a Loan Party substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility) or (y) secured by any assets other than the Collateral (other than assets that become Collateral substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility), provided that any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility that is secured on junior lien basis to the Obligations, unsecured or subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations shall be incured pursuant to separate credit or facilities documentation and shall be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement,

(ix) any Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10(b) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis, but, except with respect to any mandatory prepayment referred to in the parenthetical clause in Section 2.10(b)(iii), not on a greater than pro rata basis) with any then-existing Class of Term Loans,

(x) subject to Sections 1.10(a) and 2.21(h), (A) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) on and as of the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date; provided, that to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refers to a given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such date or for such period, and (B) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility,

(xi) subject to the foregoing terms of this Section 2.21(a), any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility; provided that except with respect to Effective Yield, final maturity or commitment termination, amortization, prepayments (including restrictions on prepayment) and premiums, escrow provisions and except as otherwise permitted herein, the terms of any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall not be materially more restrictive (when taken as a whole and as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith) on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to any then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (other than any terms which are applicable only after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date or the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility) unless

 

112


any such terms of any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility that are materially more favorable to the Incremental Lenders under such Incremental Facility than those applicable to any then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are then added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders under each such then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable,

(xii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions, permitted Investments and Restricted Payments, permitted prepayments of Restricted Debt, payments in respect of earn-outs, holdbacks and other similar deferred acquisition consideration related to any permitted acquisitions (including for the avoidance of doubt, any acquisition consummated prior to the Closing Date), consummated prior to or substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility) and for any other purposes not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents, and

(xiii) on the date of the borrowing of any Incremental Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans (or on the date of the release from escrow of the proceeds of any Incremental Loans that, upon the release of such proceeds, will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.07 or 2.12, such Incremental Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(xiii) may result in such Incremental Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Term Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Lender”); provided, that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility and any Incremental Increase with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments, each Issuing Bank) shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Incremental Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments solely if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans of the applicable Class to such Incremental Lender; provided, further, that any Incremental Lender that is a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.05(g), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if the relevant Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been acquired by such Incremental Lender by way of assignment.

(c) Each Incremental Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Facility. On the effective date of such Incremental Facility, each Incremental Lender that is not then a Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(d) As conditions precedent to either to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or to the making of any Incremental Loans (as set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment), (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive such customary written opinions of counsel, customary secretary’s certificate, customary officer’s certificate (as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (a)(x) above, to the extent such conditions are applicable), customary reaffirmation agreements and customary supplements and/or amendments to the Collateral Documents as it shall

 

113


reasonably request, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Incremental Lender that is not then a Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably request from such Incremental Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders shall be entitled to receive all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans pursuant to agreements separately agreed to by the Borrower and (iv) in the case of the making of any Incremental Loans under an Incremental Term Facility or an Incremental Increase with respect to any existing Class of Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request (it being understood that such Borrowing Request shall not be required to contain any representation, warranty or certification).

(ii) except as to (A) interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premiums, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below, be determined by the Borrower and any Lender that agrees to an Extension/Modification of its Term Loans and set forth in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer), (B) terms applicable to such Extended/Modified Term Loans (as defined below) that are more favorable to the Lenders of such Extended/Modified Term Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders pursuant to the applicable Extension/Modification Amendment and (C) any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Extension/Modification), the Term Loans of any Lender that are extended or otherwise modified pursuant to any Extension/Modification (any such Term Loans, the “Extended/Modified Term Loans”) shall have terms substantially consistent with (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders than) the terms of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer;

(iii) (A) the Maturity Date of any Extended/Modified Term Loans may be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification and (B) no Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended/Modified Revolving Loans may have the Maturity Date earlier than (or require commitment reductions prior to) the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification;

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended/Modified Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification;

 

116


(v) any Extended/Modified Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10(b) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis, but, except with respect to any mandatory prepayment referred to in the parenthetical clause in Section 2.10(b)(iii), not on a greater than pro rata basis) with any then-existing Class of Term Loans;

(vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders have accepted the relevant Extension/Modification Offer exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended or modified by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension/Modification Offer, then the Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended or modified ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed the applicable Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension/Modification Offer;

(vii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any Extension must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; and

(viii) no Extension/Modification of any Revolving Facility shall be effective as to the obligations of any Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of such Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (and, in the absence of such consent, all references herein to Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be determined, when used in reference to such Issuing Bank, without giving effect to such Extension/Modification).

(b) (i) No Extension/Modification consummated in reliance on this Section 2.22 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.10, (ii) the scheduled amortization payments (insofar as such Extension/Modification affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant Class) set forth in Section 2.09 shall be adjusted to give effect to any Extension/Modification of any Class of Loans and/or Commitments and (iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(vii) above, no Extension/Modification Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension/Modification Condition”) to the consummation of any Extension/Modification that a minimum amount (to be specified in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion) of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered; it being understood that the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, waive any such Minimum Extension/Modification Condition. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended/Modified Term Loans and/or Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.09, 2.10 and/or 2.17) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension/Modification or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22.

(c) Subject to any consent required under Sections 2.22(a)(vii) or 2.22(a)(viii), no consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension/Modification, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension/Modification with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments of any Class (or a portion thereof). All Extended/Modified Term Loans and Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall constitute Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed by the Loan Guarantors on a pari passu basis with all other Credit Facilities. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Extension/Modification Amendment and/or any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan

and provided, further that, the Borrower may subsequently elect to release any such Electing Subsidiary (a “Released Subsidiary”) as a Guarantor in its sole discretion by giving the Administrative Agent notice of such election, so long as at the time of the release such Released Subsidiary constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that such release shall only be permitted if, as of the date of such release, (A) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have the capacity to make an Investment in such Released Subsidiary (in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Released Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s) equity interest therein, as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) under Section 6.05 once it is no longer a Loan Guarantor, (B) such Released Subsidiary has the capacity to incur all of its existing

 

136

and (ii) from and after the SPAC Closing Date, the Post-SPAC Financial Covenant Level; provided that from and after the SPAC Closing Date, the Financial Covenant shall only be tested if, as of the last day of a Fiscal Quarter, the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding plus (ii) the aggregate amount of LC Disbursements that have not been reimbursed within two (2) Business Days by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time (other than amounts that have been reimbursed, cash collateralized or backstopped within three (3) Business Days following the end of the applicable Fiscal Quarter) plus (iii) the aggregate Stated Amount of all issued and undrawn Letters of Credit (excluding (x) issued and undrawn Letters of Credit having an aggregate Stated Amount not to exceed $5,000,000 and (y) issued and undrawn Letters of Credit which have been fully cash collateralized or back-stopped in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks), exceeds 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; provided, that to the extent Revolving Loans or other amounts under the Revolving Facility are used to pay original issue discount or upfront fees pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter, then for the first two Fiscal Quarters following the Closing Date, such Revolving Loans shall be excluded from the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio solely for purposes of this Section 6.14(a).

(b) Financial Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Article 7), with respect to an Event of Default as a result of the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 6.14(a) on the last day of any Test Period, the Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during the last Fiscal Quarter of such Test Period or thereafter until the date that is 15 Business Days after the date on which financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable) to issue Qualified Capital Stock or other Capital Stock (such other Capital Stock to be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) for Cash or otherwise receive Cash contributions in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock or such other Capital Stock (other than proceeds from the PIPE Equity Contribution or the SPAC Equity Contribution), in each case, which are designated by the Borrower as proceeds which shall be used to increase Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to the exercise of a Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”), and thereupon the Borrower’s compliance with Section 6.14(a) shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma increase in the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (notwithstanding the absence of a related addback in the definition of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA”) solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 6.14(a) as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and for applicable subsequent Test Periods that include such Fiscal Quarter. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the requirements of Section 6.14(a) would be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 6.14(a) shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Test Period with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.14(a) that had occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters (which may, but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for the purpose of complying with Section 6.14(a), (iv) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Borrower that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”) until the 15th Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender shall exercise any right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments, and none of the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor), any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of any Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents solely on the basis of an Event of Default under Section 6.14(a), (v) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction of the amount of Indebtedness (including as a result of “netting”) by the amount of any Cure Amount for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.14(a) as of the last day of the Test Period in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised (it being understood that, to the extent that proceeds of the Cure Amount are applied to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, this clause (v) shall not apply with respect to any subsequent Test Period, even if such subsequent Test Period includes the applicable Fiscal Quarter), (vi) during any Test Period in which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a result of any exercise of the Cure Right, such Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining (x) whether any financial ratio-based condition to the availability of any carve- out set forth in Article 6 has been satisfied, (y) the Commitment Fee Rate or (z) the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage and (vii) no (x) Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Revolving Loan or issue any Letter of Credit and (y) no Delayed Draw Term Lender shall be required to make any Delayed Draw Term Loans, in each case, from and after such time as the Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

ARTICLE 8

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Any Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender or an Issuing Bank, include each Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any subsidiary of any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

 

172


The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.21, 2.22 or 9.02(c) or any incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(q), 6.01(w) or 6.01(x), including as to the calculation of Effective Yield and determination of the terms and conditions of, and the execution and delivery of, any Intercreditor Agreement) and which the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders, Required DDTL Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, Required DDTL Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender or any other Secured Party as a result of, any determination of the Effective Yield or the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral or to assure that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been or will continue to be properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or to be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

173


Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law or otherwise to credit bid at any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Disposition of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender or an Issuing Bank may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Loan Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply all or any portion of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such Disposition and (ii) the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such Disposition.

No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation or Banking Services Obligation in its capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or by entering into documentation in connection with any Banking Services Obligation, each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:

(a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof (or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws);

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 thereof (or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws);

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

 

174


(e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Secured Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;

it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.

Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided, that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Secured Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent on a ratable basis.

With respect to any contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Secured Obligation, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph so long as the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Secured Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition. In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

Each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations are credit bid under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph is entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Secured Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition, by (y) the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

In addition, in case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding with respect to any Loan Party, each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Disbursement is then due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

175


(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to any Secured Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ prior written notice, remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000; provided, that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower, Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g), no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent

 

176


may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consultation with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided above in this Article 8. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder as a successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13). The fees payable by the Borrower to any successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this purpose holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and appriasal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems

 

177


necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in its capacities as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder, as applicable.

Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

(a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed in a Disposition permitted under this Agreement to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that constitutes (or becomes) an Excluded Asset, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement in accordance with the Loan Documents or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required) in accordance with Section 9.02;

(b) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.21;

(c) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(l), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o) (other than any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor), 6.02(r), 6.02(w), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg), 6.02(hh), 6.02(ii), 6.02(jj) and 6.02(kk) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 6.02(k)); provided, that the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent shall only be required with respect to any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(l), 6.02(o), 6.02(q), 6.02(r), 6.02(u), 6.02(bb) and/or 6.02(hh) to the extent that the Lien of the Administrative Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Permitted Lien in accordance with the documentation governing the Indebtedness that is secured by such Permitted Lien; and

(d) enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification thereto permitted by Section 9.22) in respect of any Indebtedness, Banking Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations that, pursuant to the terms hereof, (i) is required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment and/or (ii) is secured by Liens, and with respect to which, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or similar agreement or arrangement.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8. In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as

 

178


such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, in each case, without recourse, representation or warranty and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnified liabilities, this Article 8 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Article 8 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Document, no counterparty to a Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations or provider of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute Banking Services Obligations that obtains the benefits of Section 2.17(b), any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable counterparty to such Hedge Agreement or provider of such Banking Services, as the case may be.

Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

 

179


(e) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(f) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(g) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(h) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (a) above is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (d) above, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by clause (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

 

182


(b) Subject to Sections 9.02(c) and 9.02(d), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Intercreditor Agreement or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document or any Intercreditor Agreement (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document or such Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A) the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that:

(1) increases the amount of, or extends the scheduled expiration date of, any Commitment of such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase or an extension of any Commitment of such Lender;

(2) reduces the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender or any scheduled amortization payment of any Loan due to such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Default, Event of Default, change to a financial ratio or change to any “most favored nation” provisions shall constitute such a reduction;

(3) (x) extends the scheduled final maturity of any Loan held by such Lender or (y) postpones any scheduled amortization payment of any Loan held by such Lender, or the date of any scheduled payment of any interest on any Loan held by such Lender or of any scheduled payment of any fee due to such Lender hereunder, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute any such extension or postponement;

(4) reduces the rate of interest on any Loan held by such Lender (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest to such Lender at the default rate of interest under Section 2.12(c), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) or the amount of any fee owed to such Lender, it being understood that no change in the definition of “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” or any other ratio (or, in each case, in any component definition thereof) used in the calculation of the Commitment Fee Rate, or in the calculation of any other interest or fee due under any Loan Document or any change to any “most favored nation” provisions, shall constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or any fee hereunder; or

(5) waives, amends or modifies the provisions of Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) of this Agreement in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the payment waterfall required thereby (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.21, 2.22, 9.02(c) and/or 9.05(g) or as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02);

 

183


provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (A), it is understood that any waiver, amendment or modification of Sections 2.21 (including clause (a)(v) thereof), 6.01(q) (including clause (IV) thereof), 6.01(w) (including clause (IV) thereof) and/or 6.01(y) (and the term “Incremental Equivalent Debt”) (and the definition of the term “Effective Yield” as used in any such Section), or of any other “most favored nation” provision set forth in any Loan Document (and the defined terms relating thereto) may be effected pursuant to any agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders);

(B) no such agreement shall:

(1) change (x) any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders”, in each case, to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any Loan Document without the prior written consent of each Lender, (y) the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders”) or (z) the definition of “Required DDTL Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Delayed Draw Term Lender (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Required DDTL Lenders”);

(2) release of Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents on all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.21), without the prior written consent of each Lender, it being understood that any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 6.06 or the addition of obligations secured by the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents; or

(3) release all or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 9.21), without the prior written consent of each Lender, it being understood that an amendment or other modification of Section 6.06 or the addition of obligations Guaranteed under the Guarantee Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release of any Loan Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement;

(C) solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (and not without such consent), (x) any such agreement may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to any Revolving Loan (and if the approval set forth in this clause (C) is obtained, the consent of any other Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Required Lenders), shall not be required) and (y) only the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall be necessary to amend, modify or waive the terms and provisions of the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 6.14(a) (solely as it applies to the Financial Covenant as a “financial maintenance covenant”) and the provisions of Section 6.14(b) (and any related defined terms as used in such Sections, but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement);

(viii) any Intercreditor Agreement may be amended as provided in Section 9.22;

(ix) (A) any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties thereunder of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class), including any waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03, may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under Section 9.02(b) if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, and (B) any waiver of any Default or Event of Default that arises from the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or certification made or deemed made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document or in any certificate required to be delivered in connection therewith, in each case, in connection with any Credit Extension under the Revolving Facility may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Revolving Lenders (without the consent of any other Lender);

(e) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute waivers, amendments or modifications of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on behalf of such Lender.

Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) to such Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts due under this clause (b) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.

(c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, to the extent provided in clause (e) of this Section, Participants and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

193


obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clause (B) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.18) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(c), to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise

 

194


fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided, that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) (i) Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.13 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Institution.

(ii) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made by any Lender to any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such Person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) exercise its rights under Section 2.18(b), provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.18(b), with respect the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, such Disqualified Person shall only be entitled to receive the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (B) with respect to any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans from such Disqualified Person (and such Disqualified Person shall be obligated to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Term Loans) by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (I) no processing and recordation fee required under clause (b)(ii)(C) of this Section 9.05 shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (II) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated

 

195


Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days following the effectiveness of such assignment; provided, that to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following the effectiveness of such assignment, then such excess amount shall either be (x) contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled. Each Lender acknowledges its agreements and appointments set forth in Section 2.18(b) with respect to this Section 9.05(f)(ii).

(iii) If any Disqualified Person shall have been identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, such Disqualified Person (A) shall not be permitted to, and shall not, (x) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof by or among any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (y) receive any information or materials prepared by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any communication by or among any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (in each case, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2), (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority in interest of any Class of Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any waiver, amendment, modification or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or a majority in interest of any Class of Lenders has provided or undertook any such consent, action, direction or requirement and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 2.12(c), 2.15 or 9.03.

(iv) Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. It is understood that the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions and Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, sell for cash and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (i) in respect of its Term Loans of any Class, to any Affiliated Lender or (ii) in respect of its Loans or Commitments of any Class, to any Debt Fund Affiliate, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders holding the Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that:

 

196


(i) in the case of any such assignment to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any Term Loans acquired by it shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; it being agreed that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each scheduled principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of the applicable Class pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled;

(ii) the relevant Affiliated Lender or Debt Fund Affiliate and assigning Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;

(iii) in the case of any such assignment to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, immediately after giving effect to the relevant assignment the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then held by all Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall not exceed 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous retirements and cancellations thereof) (the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided, that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (g)(iii) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (it being understood and agreed that the Affiliated Lender Cap is intended to apply to any Term Loans held by Non-Debt Fund Affiliates by means other than formal assignment (e.g., as a result of an acquisition of another Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or the provision of Additional Term Loans by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate)); provided, further, that to the extent that any assignment to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate would result in the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then held by all Non-Debt Fund Affiliates exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous retirements and cancellations thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void;

(iv) in the case of any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or open market purchase conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to fund the purchase price for such assignment and (B) no Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such open market purchase, as applicable; and

(B) such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, solely in its capacity as a Lender, will not be entitled to (i) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited, (ii) receive any information or materials prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information, materials or communication have been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2), (iii) make or bring any claim (other than a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of any such claim), in its capacity as a Lender, against the Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents, except with respect to rights expressly retained by any such Affiliated Lender under the Loan Documents, including Section 9.05(g)(v)(A) and (iv) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or other Lenders and shall not challenge any assertion of attorney-client privilege by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender;

SECTION 9.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, each Intercreditor Agreement (if any), the Fee Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent has received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.09 Right of Setoff. At any time when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and, subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided, further, that, to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation”, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Loan Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor. Any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided, that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.09. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may have.

In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders may disclose in consultation and coordination with the Borrower the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, including league table providers, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the syndication or administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.

SECTION 9.14 No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective Affiliates. Holdings and the Borrower agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that nothing in the Loan Documents (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Loan Party, its equity holders or their respective Affiliates, on the other. Holdings and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that: (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) and the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by any Lender are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (ii) each Lender, in its capacity as such, is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, and no Agent, Lender or the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests Holdings, the Borrower or their respective Affiliates. Holdings and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for and capable of making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of such transactions and the Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.15 Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue any Letter of Credit or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.16 USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.18 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender and each Issuing Bank as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law, can be perfected only by possession. If any Lender or Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent) obtains possession of any Collateral, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.19 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or Letter of Credit under applicable law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or Letter of Credit in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all Charged Amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charged Amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or Letters of Credit or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.

SECTION 9.20 Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 9.21 Release of Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, (a) each Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its Loan Guaranty and any Liens granted by it under the Loan Documents shall automatically be released) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (b) any Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its Loan Guaranty and any Liens granted by it under the Loan Documents shall automatically be released) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary and (c) without limiting clause (b) above, any Subsidiary Guarantor that qualifies as an Excluded Subsidiary (other than as a result of any transaction that is not permitted hereunder) shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its Loan Guaranty and any Liens granted by it under the Loan Documents shall be released) upon written notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall only be released under this clause (c) as a result of having become an Excluded Subsidiary of the kind described in clause (a) of the definition thereof if, as of the date of such release, (A) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have the capacity to make an Investment in such Subsidiary Guarantor (in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor attributable to the Borrower’s (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s) equity interest therein, as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) under Section 6.05 once it is no longer a Loan Guarantor, (B) such Subsidiary Guarantor has the capacity to incur all of its existing Indebtedness or Liens under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 once it is no longer a Loan Guarantor and (C) such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the kind described in clause (a) of the definition thereof pursuant to an arm’s length sale of Capital Stock in such Released Subsidiary to a bona fide third party purchaser. In

 

204


connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.21 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).

SECTION 9.22 Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under certain Indebtedness are required or permitted, under the terms hereof, to be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) from time to time upon the request of the Borrower, in connection with the establishment, incurrence, amendment, refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness, an Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms and conditions of any such Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by the definition of such term), including any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Loan Document to implement the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any documents relating thereto.

(c) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Intercreditor Agreement that the Borrower may from time to time request (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Indebtedness contemplated hereby to be subject thereto or (ii) to confirm for any party that such Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Collateral Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 9.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent and shall (i) specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to the Auction, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in any case, such lesser amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes then outstanding or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent and the Administrative Agent (if different from the Auction Agent)) (the “Auction Amount”), (ii) specify the discount to par (which may be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes subject to such Auction) that represents the range of purchase prices that the Auction Party would be willing to accept in the Auction, (iii) be extended, at the sole discretion of the Auction Party, to each Lender of the applicable Class or Classes and (iv) remain outstanding through the Auction Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Lender of the applicable Class or Classes with a copy of the Auction Notice and a form of the Return Bid to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date specified in the Auction Notice (or such later date as the Auction Party may agree with the reasonable consent of the Auction Agent) (the “Auction Response Date”).

(b) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding the relevant Term Loans subject to such Auction may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Auction Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”) which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent, and shall specify (i) a discount to par (that must be expressed as a price at which it is willing to sell all or any portion of such Term Loans) (the “Reply Price”), which (when expressed as a percentage of the par principal amount of such Term Loans) must be within the Discount Range, and (ii) a principal amount of such Term Loans, which must be in whole increments of $1,000,000 (or, in any case, such lesser amount of such Term Loans of such Lender then outstanding or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent) (the “Reply Amount”). Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three bids only one of which may result in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Auction Agent, an Assignment and Assumption with the dollar amount of the Term Loans to be assigned to be left in blank, which amount shall be completed by the Auction Agent (but in no such event shall the amount be in excess of the principal amount of Term Loans such Lender has indicated it is willing to sell) in accordance with the final determination of such Lender’s Qualifying Bid pursuant to clause (c) below. Any Lender whose Return Bid is not received by the Auction Agent by the Auction Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the relevant Auction with respect to all of its Term Loans.

(c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Agent prior to the applicable Auction Response Date, the Auction Agent, in consultation with the Auction Party, will determine the applicable price (the “Applicable Price”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Price for which the Auction Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow the Auction Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), the Auction Party shall either, at its election, (i) withdraw the Auction or (ii) complete the Auction at an Applicable Price equal to the highest Reply Price. The Auction Party shall purchase the relevant Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Lender with a Reply Price that is equal to or lower than the Applicable Price (“Qualifying Bids”) at the

 

28


Applicable Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Auction Party shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Price ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Auction Agent in its discretion). If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Prices, only the bid with the lowest Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Price will be deemed to be the Qualifying Bid of such Lender (e.g., a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2.0%, when compared to an Applicable Price of $100 with a 1.0% discount to par, will not be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid, while, however, a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2.50% would be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Auction Response Date with respect to an Auction, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and the tranches thereof to be purchased pursuant to such Auction, (II) each participating Lender of the effective date of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction, the Applicable Price, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date, (III) each participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of the Term Loans of such Lender to be purchased at the Applicable Price on such date and (IV) if applicable, each participating Lender of any rounding and/or proration pursuant to the second preceding sentence. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(d) Additional Procedures.

(i) Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction Party may not withdraw an Auction other than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Price.

(ii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this definition, established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(iii) In connection with any Auction, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Auction, the payment of customary fees and expenses by the Auction Party in connection therewith as agreed between the Auction Party and the Auction Agent.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this definition, each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

For the purposes of determining Effective Yield with respect to the Term Loans of any Class, if the Term Loans of such Class shall have been incurred at different times with different amounts of original issue discount or upfront fees, then the Effective Yield with respect to the Term Loans of such Class will be determined on the basis of the higher of (i) the original issue discount or upfront fees with respect to such of the Term Loans of such Class as shall have been first made under this Agreement and (ii) the weighted average of the amounts of the original issue discount and/or upfront fees with respect to all the Term Loans of such Class.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.

SECTION 10.09 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with any extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing of any Class of Loans hereunder, any Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, elect to accept any other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of this Agreement in lieu of all or any part of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage or other applicable share of any payment hereunder with respect to such Loans, it being agreed that (a) such acceptance shall not be subject to any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement and (b) notice of such acceptance shall be provided to the Administrative Agent and, if such other Indebtedness is in the form of Loans, the mechanics of the cashless settlement thereof shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.10 Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (including any such requirement that is to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis) (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, (ii) the making or accuracy of any representation or warranty or (iii) the absence of any Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment that is not conditioned on obtaining third party financing (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”) and/or (B) the making of any Restricted Debt Payment requiring irrevocable advance notice thereof (or, in each case, any assumption or incurrence of any Indebtedness in connection therewith, including any Incremental Facility), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower, (1) in the case of any Limited Condition Acquisition, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment or (y) the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, provided, that, in the case of clause (x) above, during the period between the signing of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and such time as such Limited Condition Acquisition has been consummated or the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition has been terminated or abandoned or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) any such financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such acquisition or Investment (and other transactions in connection therewith, including any assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) has been consummated and (B) solely with respect to any calculation of compliance with a financial ratio that is a condition to the making of any Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment, the calculation of such financial ratio shall be tested both (I) on a Pro Forma Basis for such Limited Condition Acquisition and (II) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition is not consummated and (2) in the case of any such Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition or Restricted Debt Payment on a Pro Forma Basis and if, after giving pro forma effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and/or Restricted Debt Payment and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the applicable test date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant test date in compliance with such financial ratio or basket, such financial ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an election pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) and if any of such ratios, baskets or amounts are exceeded subsequent to the applicable test date as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower or the person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken.

(b) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be (or, in each case, such other time as is applicable thereto pursuant to clause (a) above), and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a subsequent change in such financial ratio or test.

 

76


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including Incremental Facilities) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Revolving Facilities and any other revolving facility) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”), substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio (including Section 6.14(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (even if part of the same transaction or, in the case of Indebtedness, the same tranche, as any Incurrence-Based Amounts) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, but giving full pro forma effect to any increase in the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets (including Unrestricted Cash) resulting from the reliance on the Fixed Amounts. It is further agreed that in connection with the calculation of any financial ratio applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, such test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for the incurrence of such Indebtedness (including the application of the proceeds thereof), but without netting the Cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, and in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting revolving Indebtedness or delayed draw Indebtedness, assuming that such Indebtedness is fully drawn. Any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a Fixed Amount shall be automatically reclassified as incurred under the Incurrence-Based Amount at such time as the Borrower meets the applicable ratio under the Incurrence-Based Amount at such time on a pro forma basis.

(d) It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause or subclause of Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06 or 6.08, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination of clauses or subclauses of such Section, all as classified or, to the extent such alternative classification would have been permitted at the time of the relevant action, reclassified by the Borrower in its sole discretion, and shall constitute a usage of any availability under such clause or subclause only to the extent so classified or reclassified thereto; provided that (i) the Credit Facilities may only be permitted under Section 6.01(a) and secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a) and (ii) Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(q), 6.01(w) or 6.01(y), to the extent such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on the Collateral that are pari passu with or junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Credit Facilities, may not be reclassified to any other clause of Section 6.01 and such Liens on the Collateral may only be incurred under Section 6.02(s) or 6.02(t), as applicable. In addition, for purposes of determining compliance at any time with Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 or 6.05, if any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or Investment (or a portion thereof), as applicable, that was previously incurred, made or otherwise undertaken as having been incurred, made or otherwise undertaken under any “ratio-based” basket set forth in such Section would, using the figures as of the end of or for the most recently ended Test Period, be permitted under the applicable “ratio-based” basket, then such item (or such portion thereof) shall be automatically reclassified as having been incurred under the applicable “ratio-based” basket; provided that, in the case of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, any such reclassification shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence.

 

77


(e) For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement, (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal, as of any date of determination, to the principal amount thereof that would appear on a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as of such date prepared in accordance with GAAP and (ii) the accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness or additional shares of Capital Stock and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, to the extent secured, shall not be deemed to result in an increase of the obligations so secured or to be a grant of a Lien securing any such obligations.

SECTION 10.11 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up for five).

ARTICLE 11

THE CREDITS

SECTION 11.01 Commitments.

(a) Initial Term Commitments; Initial Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Initial Term Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Term Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date in Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Commitment and (ii) each Initial Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Revolving Loans to the Borrower in Dollars at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (A) the amount of such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the sum of the total Initial Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Initial Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Delayed Draw Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period, each Delayed Draw Term Lender with a Delayed Draw Term Commitment severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Borrower on each Delayed Draw Funding Date in Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Delayed Draw Term Commitment; provided that there shall not be more than five Delayed Draw Funding Dates during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period. Each Delayed Draw Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment shall (x) be permanently reduced on each Delayed Draw Funding Date by the principal amount funded by each such Delayed Draw Term Lender on such Delayed Draw Funding Date and (y) terminate immediately and without further action on the Delayed Draw Termination Date. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Delayed Draw Term Loans (or, at the election of the Administrative Agent (such election to be notified to the Borrower and each Delayed Draw Term Lender), upon the Delayed Draw Termination Date), the outstanding principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be automatically deemed to constitute Initial Term Loans thereafter for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that such outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each then outstanding Borrowing of Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Term Loan Lender that holds outstanding Term Loans and such Delayed Draw Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Initial Term Loans (after giving effect to the conversion pursuant to this

 

78


sentence). To the extent this clause (b) requires that Delayed Draw Term Lenders making new Delayed Draw Term Loans add such Delayed Draw Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Initial Term Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Delayed Draw Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans of the respective Term Facility and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent determines, in consultation with the Borrower, on or prior to any Delayed Draw Funding Date that the Delayed Draw Term Loans and the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date will be treated as separate issues of debt instruments for tax purposes, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion) require that the Delayed Draw Term Loans be incurred as a separate tranche of Term Loans hereunder and, without the consent of any other Lender, together with the Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to address technical issues relating to the treatment of the Delayed Draw Term Loans as a separate tranche of Term Loans hereunder.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, each Lender with an Additional Commitment of a given Class, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Additional Loans of such Class to the Borrower, which Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Additional Commitment of such Class of such Lender as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

SECTION 11.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Eurodollar Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply); provided, further, that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.14 or 2.16 with respect to such Eurodollar Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, provided that a Eurodollar Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the

 

79


time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest Periods as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 2.02(c), each initial Borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount that remains available).

SECTION 11.03 Requests for Borrowings.

(a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (which may be by telephone) (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that (A) any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, (B) any such notice of a Borrowing to be made under an Incremental Facility Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment may be given no later than such later time as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, (C) any such notice of a Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date may be given no later 12:00 p.m. two Business Days before the Closing Date and (D) any such notice of a Borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans must be given no later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the proposed Delayed Draw Funding Date; provided, further, that if any Interest Period that requires the consent of all relevant affected Lenders pursuant to the definition of “Interest Period” is requested, notice shall be delivered not later than 12:00 p.m. four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the affected Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them, and not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the affected Lenders. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be, except as may otherwise be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing and the Class thereof;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

 

80


(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06 or, in the case of any ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender under the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 11.04 [Reserved].

SECTION 11.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees, at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 30 days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date (determined, with respect to each Issuing Bank, giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(viii)), upon the request of the Borrower, (i) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower will be a co-applicant and, to the extent requested by such Issuing Bank, such Restricted Subsidiary shall have provided documentation and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations) in support of its or its subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, and (ii) to amend, extend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue trade or commercial Letters of Credit unless such type of Letter of Credit is approved for issuance by such Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, or entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with, the relevant Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent inconsistent herewith shall be rendered null and void (or reformed automatically without further action by any Person to conform to the terms of this Agreement), and all representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person). The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.11(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit).

 

81


(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension permitted pursuant to clause (c) of this Section)), the Borrower shall deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank or, in the case of any issuance to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto or such other form as the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree to, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit and provide any documentation or other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations for the beneficiary and any party to be named on such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Issuing Bank Sublimit.

(c) Expiration Date. No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that, if the Borrower so requests in any applicable letter of credit application, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to an Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date set forth in Section 2.05(c)(ii) (or, if cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, a later date); provided, however, that the relevant Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.05(c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case, directing the relevant Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

 

82


(d) Participations. By the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to any Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars the amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m. on the later of (i) the second Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made or (ii) the date on which such LC Disbursement is made; provided, that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or

 

83


inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligation hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.05(f) shall be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class); provided, that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank; Designation of New Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may (i) replace any Issuing Bank with any other Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity or (ii) designate as an additional Issuing Bank any Person that shall have agreed to act in such capacity, in each case pursuant to an agreement in writing executed by the Borrower and such other

 

84


Person; provided that (A) any replacement or additional Issuing Bank shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (B) such agreement shall set forth the Issuing Bank Sublimit of such replacement or additional Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement or addition of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or addition, (A) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or additional Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Required Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this clause (j), the Borrower shall deposit, in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 103.0% of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided, that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this clause (j). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account, and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

(k) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of

 

85


Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank pays any amount in respect of one or more drawings under Letters of Credit, the date of such payment(s) and the amount of such payment(s), (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any amount required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such payment in respect of Letters of Credit and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 11.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than (i) 12:00 p.m., in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) 12:00 p.m. in the case of ABR Loans, in each case, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in each case, in respect of any Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, such other time as may be specified for therein) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided, that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall cease. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. If the Borrower and such Lender shall both pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

86


SECTION 11.07 Type; Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (which may be by telephone) by the date and time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

87


SECTION 11.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) the Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Delayed Draw Termination Date (after giving effect to any incurrence of Delayed Draw Term Loans on such date), (iii) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iv) the Additional Term Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, the undrawn amount thereof shall automatically terminate and (v) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment.

(b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 2.08(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (unless its is a reduction of all Commitments of such Class) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided, that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.21, 2.22 and/or 9.02, as applicable.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Commitments under clause (b) of this Section in writing at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date to which the Administrative Agent may agree), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of each applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied by the Borrower delivering notice to the Administrative Agent on the specified effective date. Any termination or reduction of any Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of the Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

SECTION 11.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender (A) (x) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on March 31, 2021) (each such date, a “Scheduled Payment Amortization Date”), in each case, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date (in each case, as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 and repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result

 

88


of any increase in the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or in connection with any conversion of Delayed Draw Term Loans to Initial Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in a manner to be determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), and (B) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender (A) (x) on each Scheduled Payment Amortization Date commencing on the first Scheduled Payment Amortization Date occurring on the last Business Day of the first full Fiscal Quarter ended after any Delayed Draw Funding Date, in each case, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Delayed Term Loans made on each Delayed Draw Funding Date (in each case, as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 and repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21(a)), and (B) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding on such date, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which any Delayed Draw Term Loans are converted into Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b), this clause (ii) shall cease to apply to such Delayed Draw Term Loans, which shall instead be subject to clause (i) above.

(ii) The Borrower shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension/Modification Amendment (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10 or repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the principal amount of the Additional Term Loan of such Class pursuant to Section 2.21(a)).

(c) (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Revolving Lender, the then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans of such Lender on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (B) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Additional Revolving Lender, the then outstanding principal amount of each Additional Revolving Loan of such Additional Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date applicable thereto.

(ii) On the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the Borrower shall (A) cancel and return outstanding Letters of Credit or alternatively, with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, furnish to the Administrative Agent a Cash deposit (or if reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank, a “backstop” letter of credit) equal to 103.0% of the amount of the LC Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (minus any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account or any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank) as of such date, in each case, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Class shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of such other Class then in effect and (B) make payment in full in Cash of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations with respect to the Revolving Facility of the applicable Class then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon.

 

89


(d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks and each Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s share thereof.

(f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any manifest error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (e) of this Section and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained purusant to clauses (d) or (e) and the Register, the Register shall govern.

(g) Any Lender may request that any Loan made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver a Promissory Note to such Lender payable to such Lender and its registered assigns; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.05(b)(iii) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable). If any Lender loses the original copy of its Promissory Note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification provision reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.

SECTION 11.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Upon prior notice in accordance with clause (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Term Loans of any Class, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject (A) in the case of Borrowings of Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans only, to Section 2.11(e) and (B) if applicable, to Section 2.15). Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.

Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.

 

90


(iii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (B) in the case of any prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. one Business Day before the day of prepayment (or, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), such other time as to which the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied by the Borrower delivering notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.

of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to prepay or repurchase (or offer to prepay or repurchase) any Other First Lien Indebtedness with any portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount, then the Borrower may apply such portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such ECF Prepayment Amount required to be allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such ECF Prepayment Amount shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment or repurchase of the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(i) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of the Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale or any Casualty/Condemnation Event, in each case, in excess of $3,000,000 in any Fiscal Year or $10,000,000 in the aggregate, the Borrower shall, not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt thereof, apply an amount equal to 100.0% of such Net Proceeds in excess of such threshold (such Net Proceeds being referred to as the “Specified Net Proceeds”) to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b); provided, that (A) if prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries intend to reinvest the Specified Net Proceeds in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Cash or Cash Equivalents, but including any reinvestment in the form of an acquisition or a similar Investment and any Investment in any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Investment), then so long as no Event of Default exists at the time of the delivery of such notice, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under this Section 2.10(b)(ii) in respect of the Specified Net Proceeds to the extent that (1) the Specified Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 18 months following receipt thereof or (2) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has committed so to reinvest the Specified Net Proceeds during such 18-month period and the Specified Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after the expiration of such 18-month period, provided further that to the extent the Specified Net Proceeds have not been so reinvested prior to the expiration of the applicable period, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the expiration of the applicable period) prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (but without giving effect to clause (A) above) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the Specified Net Proceeds not so reinvested, and (B) if at the time that any prepayment would be required under this Section 2.10(b)(ii), the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to prepay or repurchase (or offer to prepay or repurchase) any Other First Lien Indebtedness with any portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds, then the Borrower may apply such portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of the applicable Specified Net Proceeds allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of the Specified Net Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other First Lien Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of the Specified Net Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment or repurchase of the relevant Other First Lien Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been

 

92


required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of the Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, except to the extent the relevant Indebtedness constitutes (A) Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p), (B) Incremental Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21, (C) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.02(c) and/or (D) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to finance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.01(y)), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the next succeeding Business Day after) the receipt of such Net Proceeds by the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100.0% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b).

(iv) Within five (5) Business Days after the closing of the Acquisition, apply an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of the PIPE Equity Contribution in an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(b).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10(b) to the contrary:

(A) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Foreign Subsidiary, the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Casualty/Condemnation Event affects the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as the repatriation to the Borrower of any such amount would be prohibited under any applicable law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager or member of management of such Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the event or calculation giving rise to such repatriation, required by applicable law to permit such repatriation without violating local law or incurring material tax, regulatory or cost consequences); it being understood that if the repatriation of the relevant affected Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the applicable law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, and the repatriated Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (A)),

 

93


(B) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or the relevant Specified Net Proceeds are received by any joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, in each case, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds would be prohibited under the Organizational Documents or joint venture agreements governing such joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, the relevant joint venture or other non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (B)),

(C) if the Borrower determines in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that the repatriation to the Borrower of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii) that are attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would result in a material Tax liability to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of the direct or indirect owners of Capital Stock of the Borrower (including any material withholding Tax or any material tax distribution) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or 2.10(b)(ii), as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; it being understood that to the extent that the repatriation of the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Specified Net Proceeds attributable to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Specified Net Proceeds, as the case may be, an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow or the Specified Net Proceeds, as applicable and to the extent available, not previously applied pursuant to this clause (C) shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (C)), and

(D) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the non-application of any amount required to be prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.10(b)(i) – (iv) as a result of the exceptions set forth in clause (C) above shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, and any such amounts shall remain available for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries for so long as such amounts are not required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(v) Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) (other than clause (iii) or (iv) thereof), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case the remaining amount thereof may be retained by the Borrower. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

 

94


(vi) Except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment, any Incremental Facility Amendment or any Extension/Modification Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding, provided that any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2.10(b) resulting from Indebtedness of the kind described in the parenthetical to such clause shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans being refinanced. With respect to each Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of such Term Loans in direct order of maturity), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Any mandatory prepayment by the Borrower of the Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class, irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided, that in the case of a mandatory prepayment under clause (iii) or, if no Lenders exercise the right to waive such mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (v), any other clause of this Section 2.10(b), the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are ABR Loans and then to the then outstanding Term Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15.

(vii) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (A) prepaying Revolving Loans or (B) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 103.0% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account or any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank). Each prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing under this Section 2.10(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.

(viii) Prepayments made under this Section 2.10(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12, (B) subject to Section 2.15 and (C) in the case of prepayments of Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans under clause (iii) above as part of a Repricing Transaction, subject to Section 2.11(e), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 11.11 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such

 

95


Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with March 31, 2021) for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on March 31, 2021, for the period since the Closing Date), and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class of any Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Loans of such Class of such Revolving Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on March 31, 2021, for the period since the Closing Date) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing, if applicable, with March 31, 2021); provided, that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee described in the Fee Letter.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to any Issuing Bank). Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter.

(e) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the earlier of (x) the Allocation Date and (y) December 31, 2020, the Borrower (i) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans in a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (ii) effects any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that constitutes a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (A) in the case of clause (i), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced,

 

96


substituted or replaced and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction and that are required to be assigned by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b) as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to such amendment, waiver or other modification (it being understood and agreed that, to the extent a Lender replaced pursuant to Section 2.18(b) receives a prepayment fee pursuant to this Section 2.11(e), any assignee of such replaced Lender’s Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans (as applicable) and any subsequent assignee thereof shall not also be entitled to receive any prepayment fee in accordance with this Section 2.11(e)). All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(f) Beginning on the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Facility is “allocated” (as determined by the Arranger and notified to the Borrower, the “Allocation Date”) and (b) January 1, 2021 (such earlier date, the “Ticking Fee Start Date”), the Borrower shall pay a commitment fee (the “DDTL Ticking Fee”) on the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender as follows:

 

Date    DDTL Ticking Fee
For the period commencing on the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 30 days thereafter    0%
For the period commencing on the 31st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date until the date occurring 60 days after the Ticking Fee Start Date    50% of the Applicable Rate for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans
For the period commencing on the 61st day after the Ticking Fee Start Date thereafter    100% of the Applicable Rate for Delayed Draw Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans

Such DDTL Ticking Fees shall accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with March 31, 2021) and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of March 31, 2021, for the period since the Ticking Fee Start Date) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with March 31, 2021) and shall also be payable on the Delayed Draw Term Termination Date after giving effect to any funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loans on such date (and including, without limitation, any termination of unutilized Delayed Draw Term Commitments on the Delayed Draw Termination Date).

(g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of accruing fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 11.12 Interest.

(a) The Term Loans and Revolving Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

97


(b) The Term Loans and Revolving Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g), if any principal of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan, any LC Disbursement is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue principal shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Term Loan, Revolving Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan, Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section or in Section 2.05(h) or (ii) in the case of overdue interest or any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.12; provided, that no amount shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Accrued interest on each Term Loan and Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan and (iii) in the case of a Revolving Loan of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as applicable; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan (other than an ABR Revolving Loan of any Class prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

SECTION 11.13 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

98


then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) of this Section have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in such clause (a)(i) have not arisen but (x) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the U.S. denominated in Dollars at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (including, to the extent the prevailing market convention for the application of such alternate rate of interest is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, changes relating to the application of such alternate rate of interest in such manner as is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, but for the avoidance of doubt, such changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (a) of this Section shall be applicable.

SECTION 11.14 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(ii) subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (1) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (2) such Lender invokes Section 2.19 or (3) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above, the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the London interbank market or the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (1) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto or (2) such Lender invokes Section 2.19.

(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.14 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 11.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (c) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the actual out-of pocket loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event, it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any case exclude any interest rate floor, any loss of anticipated profit or margin and all administrative, processing or similar fees. Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (ii) certifies that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 11.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment (as determined by the applicable withholding agent in good faith), then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), each Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes (without duplication with any amounts paid under Section 2.16(a)) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment under any Loan Document that is attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of

 

101


the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.16(f)(ii)(A), 2.16(f)(ii)(B) and 2.16(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;

 

102


(2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a participating Lender), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-4, IRS Form W- 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-3 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

 

103


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Definition of Lender. The term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this Section 2.16, include any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 11.17 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto and any payment required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.18(b) and 2.19, each borrowing of Loans of a given Class, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the

 

104


next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the date and time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) Subject in all respects to the provisions of each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or to any Issuing Bank or Lender from the Borrower constituting Secured Obligations, third, on a pro rata basis to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include periodic payments then due in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations), fourth, on a pro rata basis to (i) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unreimbursed amounts in respect of any drawing under a Letter of Credit; provided, that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.17(b), beginning with clause first above and (ii) (A) payment of the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal on the Loans and (B) payment of breakage, termination and other amounts then due and owing in respect of any Secured Hedging Obligations, fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) or any other Secured Party by the Borrower, and sixth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default exists and no portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder shall be paid to the Borrower, other than a payment expressly contemplated herein, which shall be applied as required hereunder.

(c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of the other Lenders or sub-participations in LC Disbursements of the other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of each applicable Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) or (B) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or any of its participants in LC Disbursements to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with

 

105


Sections 2.18(b), 2.21, 2.22, 9.02(c) and 9.05. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 11.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19 or (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending or issuing office for funding, booking or issuing its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.19, as the case may be, and (B) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.19, (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (v) any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) is a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person (solely for this purpose, in each case, whether or not it was such at the time it acquired any Commitment or Loan (or any participation therein) subject to the assignment and delegation pursuant to this clause (b)) or (vi) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which the consent of the Required Lenders, the Required DDTL Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders (or the consent of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50.0% of the sum of the total Outstanding Amount of Loans and unused

 

106


Commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender does not provide its consent thereto (each such Lender described in this clause (vi), a “Non Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate all the Commitments of such Lender and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender (or terminate the Commitment of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), in each case, without any obligation to terminate any Commitment or prepay any Loan of any other Lender, provided, that if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then the Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Borrowings of the applicable Class (and, if no Revolving Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess, or (B) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided, that (1) subject to, in the case of any Lender that is a Disqualified Person, Section 9.05(f)(ii), such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including, to the extent applicable, amounts payable to it under Section 2.11(e) (it being understood and agreed that, to the extent a Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) receives a prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(e), any assignees of such replaced Lender’s Initial Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loans (as applicable) and any subsequent assignee thereof shall not also be entitled to receive any prepayment fee in accordance with Section 2.11(e)) payable to it under any Loan Document (if applicable, in each case, only to the extent the foregoing amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of the applicable Class or Classes), (2) in the case of any assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment and delegation would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (3) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender, a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is required to assign and delegate any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such assignment and delegation and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.05, the failure of such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such assignment and delegation (and the corresponding sale and purchase) invalid), and any such assignment and delegation shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.18(b) or Section 9.05(f)(ii).

 

107


SECTION 11.19 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such payment) and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 11.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(f);

(b) the Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Required DDTL Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that, to the extent provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(c) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’

 

108


LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03 (as applicable) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Lenders (other than such Defaulting Lender holding such Delayed Draw Term Loans or Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders (as applicable) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans (as applicable) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class and, in the case of a Revolving Credit Facility, funded and unfunded participations are held in accordance with their Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages, in each case, without giving effect to Section 2.20(d); it being agreed that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank, cash collateralize for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in clause (i) above) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

 

109


(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of any Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100.0% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or that the related exposure has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.20(d) to its satisfaction, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent determines is necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fees, ticking fees or participation fees that were not paid to it during the period it was a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions), (ii) all waivers, amendments and modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20 and Section 9.02 during the period it was a Defaulting Lender shall be binding on it and (iii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 11.21 Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time from and after the latest to occur of (I) the date that all commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Facility have been reduced to $0 and (II) the first to occur of (x) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (y) December 31, 2020 (such latest date, the “Incremental Start Date”), on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment, (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) add one or more new Classes of incremental revolving facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”) and/or (iii) increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any existing Class (any such increase, an “Incremental Increase” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility and any Incremental Revolving Facility, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, together with any Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans, collectively, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed, when taken together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Debt, the Incremental Cap; provided, that:

(i) no Incremental Term Facility may be in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be the remaining amount of the Incremental Cap or to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),

(ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide any Incremental Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender,

(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender, other than in its capacity, if any, as an Incremental Lender providing all or part of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan,

(iv) in the case of an Incremental Increase, the terms of such Incremental Increase (other than (A) to the extent not affecting fungibility for Tax purposes, original issue discount and upfront fees and (B) in the case of an Incremental Increase with respect to any Class of Term Loans, any escrow provisions applicable thereto (including any mandatory prepayment thereof required if the conditions to the release from escrow are not satisfied) prior to the release of the proceeds of any Incremental Loans made thereunder from escrow) shall be the same as the terms of the applicable Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Incremental Increase,

(v) the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided, that in the case of any Incremental Term Facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Facility (i) to the extent incurred (x) prior to the SPAC Closing Date or (y) from and after the SPAC Closing Date, if incurred in reliance on clause (2)(e) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” and (ii) effective prior to the firstsecond anniversary of the ClosingAllocation Date, the Effective Yield applicable thereto (determined on the date of the effectiveness thereof) may not be more than 0.750.50% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans (determined as of such date but prior to any adjustment thereto pursuant to this clause (v)), unless the Effective Yield (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or Adjusted LIBO Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans is adjusted to be equal to the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility minus 0.750.50%; provided, further, that any increase in Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans due to the application or imposition of any “LIBOR” interest rate floor on any Incremental Term Facility may, at the election of the Borrower, be effected through an increase in the Adjusted LIBO Rate floor (and the corresponding adjustment to the Alternate Base Rate floor) applicable to the Initial Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans,

 

111


(vi) the Maturity Date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date and no Incremental Revolving Facility may have the Maturity Date earlier than (or require scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to) the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility,

(vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then- existing Class of Term Loans (without giving effect to the reduction of any required amortization payments from any prepayments of the Term Loans; provided, that Incremental Term Loans may be in the form of customary bridge loans so long as any Indebtedness for which such loans are exchanged for or that otherwise replaces such loans satisfies the requirements of this cluase (vii),

(viii) (A) any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall be pari passu or junior in right of payment and with respect to security with any then-existing Class of Loans or unsecured and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party (other than a Person that becomes a Loan Party substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility) or (y) secured by any assets other than the Collateral (other than assets that become Collateral substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility), provided that any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility that is secured on junior lien basis to the Obligations, unsecured or subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations shall be incured pursuant to separate credit or facilities documentation and shall be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement,

(ix) any Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10(b) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis, but, except with respect to any mandatory prepayment referred to in the parenthetical clause in Section 2.10(b)(iii), not on a greater than pro rata basis) with any then-existing Class of Term Loans,

(x) subject to Sections 1.10(a) and 2.21(h), (A) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) on and as of the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date; provided, that to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refers to a given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such date or for such period, and (B) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Facility,

(xi) subject to the foregoing terms of this Section 2.21(a), any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility; provided that except with respect to Effective Yield, final maturity or commitment termination, amortization, prepayments (including restrictions on prepayment) and premiums, escrow provisions and except as otherwise permitted herein, the terms of any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility shall not be materially more restrictive (when taken as a whole and as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith) on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to any then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (other than any terms which are applicable only after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date or the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility) unless any such terms of any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility that are materially more favorable to the Incremental Lenders under such Incremental Facility than those applicable to any then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are then added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders under each such then-existing Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable,

 

112


(xii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions, permitted Investments and Restricted Payments, permitted prepayments of Restricted Debt, payments in respect of earn-outs, holdbacks and other similar deferred acquisition consideration related to any permitted acquisitions (including for the avoidance of doubt, any acquisition consummated prior to the Closing Date), consummated prior to or substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility) and for any other purposes not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents, and

(xiii) on the date of the borrowing of any Incremental Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans (or on the date of the release from escrow of the proceeds of any Incremental Loans that, upon the release of such proceeds, will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.07 or 2.12, such Incremental Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(xiii) may result in such Incremental Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Term Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Lender”); provided, that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility and any Incremental Increase with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments, each Issuing Bank) shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Incremental Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments solely if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans of the applicable Class to such Incremental Lender; provided, further, that any Incremental Lender that is a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.05(g), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if the relevant Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been acquired by such Incremental Lender by way of assignment.

(c) Each Incremental Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Facility. On the effective date of such Incremental Facility, each Incremental Lender that is not then a Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(d) As conditions precedent to either to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or to the making of any Incremental Loans (as set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment), (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive such customary written opinions of counsel, customary secretary’s certificate, customary officer’s certificate (as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (a)(x) above, to the extent such conditions are applicable), customary reaffirmation agreements and customary supplements and/or amendments to the Collateral Documents as it shall

 

113


reasonably request, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Incremental Lender that is not then a Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably request from such Incremental Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders shall be entitled to receive all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans pursuant to agreements separately agreed to by the Borrower and (iv) in the case of the making of any Incremental Loans under an Incremental Term Facility or an Incremental Increase with respect to any existing Class of Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request (it being understood that such Borrowing Request shall not be required to contain any representation, warranty or certification).

(e) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Increase with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments or any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.21:

(i) in the case of any such Incremental Increase, (A) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such Incremental Increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Lender, and each relevant Incremental Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit, such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each such Incremental Lender) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit shall be held pro rata on the basis of their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages (determined after giving effect to such Incremental Increase) and (B) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Increase), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Increase) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case, to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Applicable Percentages of such Class (after giving effect to any such Incremental Increase); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (e)(i); and

(ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, (A) the borrowing and repayment (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on the Revolving Facilities (and related outstandings), (II) repayments required on the Maturity Date of any Revolving Facility and (III) repayments made in connection with a permanent termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Facility (subject to clause (C) below)) of Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, (B) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages and (C) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans under, and reduction and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under, any Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and reduce or terminate Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Facility.

(f) [Reserved]

 

114


(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.21, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes of Loans and Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting) or to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Loans and Commitments and any technical amendments relating thereto, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section 2.21. The Administrative Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Incremental Facility Amendment, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition (including a Limited Condition Acquisition), other investments or repayment of Indebtedness requiring irrevocable notice in advance of such prepayment, the availability thereof shall be subject to (i) in the case of the representations and warranties made in connection therewith, customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality and (ii) (x) no Event of Default at the time of, or immediately after giving effect to, execution of definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition or notice of repayment and (y) no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g) at the time of, or immediately after giving effect to, the funding of such Incremental Facility or the making of such repayment.

(i) This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.17 or 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 11.22 Extensions and Modifications of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension/Modification Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans or Commitments of such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with any individual Lender that accepts the terms contained in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer to extend the Maturity Date of all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and/or otherwise to modify the terms of all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension/Modification Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule, if any, in respect of such Loans) (each, an “Extension/Modification”); it being understood that any Extended/Modified Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Class of Loans from which they were converted and any Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted; provided that the following terms are satisfied:

115


periods after the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Extension/Modification), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender that agrees to such Extension/Modification Offer with respect to such Commitment (an “Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder, “Extended/Modified Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall have terms substantially consistent with (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders than) the terms of the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer (and related outstandings); provided that if more than one Revolving Facility exists after giving effect to any such Extension/Modification, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on the Revolving Facilities (and related outstandings), (y) repayments required on the Maturity Date of any Revolving Facility and (z) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Facility (subject to clause (3) below)) of Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, (2) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under, any Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and terminate Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Facility;

(ii) except as to (A) interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premiums, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below, be determined by the Borrower and any Lender that agrees to an Extension/Modification of its Term Loans and set forth in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer), (B) terms applicable to such Extended/Modified Term Loans (as defined below) that are more favorable to the Lenders of such Extended/Modified Term Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders pursuant to the applicable Extension/Modification Amendment and (C) any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of effectiveness of such Extension/Modification), the Term Loans of any Lender that are extended or otherwise modified pursuant to any Extension/Modification (any such Term Loans, the “Extended/Modified Term Loans”) shall have terms substantially consistent with (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders than) the terms of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer;

(iii) (A) the Maturity Date of any Extended/Modified Term Loans may be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification and (B) no Extended/Modified Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended/Modified Revolving Loans may have the Maturity Date earlier than (or require commitment reductions prior to) the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification;

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended/Modified Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension/Modification Offer at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification;

 

116


(v) any Extended/Modified Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.10(b) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis, but, except with respect to any mandatory prepayment referred to in the parenthetical clause in Section 2.10(b)(iii), not on a greater than pro rata basis) with any then-existing Class of Term Loans;

(vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders have accepted the relevant Extension/Modification Offer exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended or modified by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension/Modification Offer, then the Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended or modified ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed the applicable Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension/Modification Offer;

(vii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any Extension must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; and

provided that such release shall only be permitted if, as of the date of such release, (A) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have the capacity to make an

 

136


Investment in such Released Subsidiary (in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Released Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s) equity interest therein, as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) under Section 6.05 once it is no longer a Loan Guarantor, (B) such Released Subsidiary has the capacity to incur all of its existing Indebtedness or Liens under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 once it is no longer a Loan Guarantor and (C) in the case of any such release of a Released Subsidiary due to such Released Subsidiary becoming an Excluded Subsidiary of the kind described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, such release shall only be permitted if such Released Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or such kind pursuant to an arm’s length sale of Capital Stock in such Released Subsidiary to a bona fide third party purchaser.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Article 7), with respect to an Event of Default as a result of the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 6.14(a) on the last day of any Test Period, the Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during the last Fiscal Quarter of such Test Period or thereafter until the date that is 15 Business Days after the date on which financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable) to issue Qualified Capital Stock or other Capital Stock (such other Capital Stock to be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) for Cash or otherwise receive Cash contributions in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock or such other Capital Stock (other than proceeds from the PIPE Equity Contribution or the SPAC Equity Contribution), in each case, which are designated by the Borrower as proceeds which shall be used to increase Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to the exercise of a Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”), and thereupon the Borrower’s compliance with Section 6.14(a) shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma increase in the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (notwithstanding the absence of a related addback in the definition of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA”) solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 6.14(a) as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and for applicable subsequent Test Periods that include such Fiscal Quarter. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the requirements of Section 6.14(a) would be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 6.14(a) shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Test Period with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.14(a) that had occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters (which may, but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for the purpose of complying with Section 6.14(a), (iv) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Borrower that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”) until the 15th Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender shall exercise any right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments, and none of the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor), any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of any Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents solely on the basis of an Event of Default under Section 6.14(a), (v) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction of the amount of Indebtedness (including as a result of “netting”) by the amount of any Cure Amount for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.14(a) as of the last day of the Test Period in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised (it being understood that, to the extent that proceeds of the Cure Amount are applied to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, this clause (v) shall not apply with respect to any subsequent Test Period, even if such subsequent Test Period includes the applicable Fiscal Quarter), (vi) during any Test Period in which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a result of any exercise of the Cure Right, such Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining (x) whether any financial ratio-based condition to the availability of any carve- out set forth in Article 6 has been satisfied, (y) the Commitment Fee Rate or (z) the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage and (vii) no (x) Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Revolving Loan or issue any Letter of Credit and (y) no Delayed Draw Term Lender shall be required to make any Delayed Draw Term Loans, in each case, from and after such time as the Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

ARTICLE 17

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse (or any successor appointed pursuant hereto) as Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Any Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender or an Issuing Bank, include each Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any subsidiary of any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

 

172


The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.21, 2.22 or 9.02(c) or any incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(q), 6.01(w) or 6.01(x), including as to the calculation of Effective Yield and determination of the terms and conditions of, and the execution and delivery of, any Intercreditor Agreement) and which the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders, Required DDTL Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, Required DDTL Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith shall be necessary, under the relevant circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender or any other Secured Party as a result of, any determination of the Effective Yield or the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral or to assure that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been or will continue to be properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or to be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

173


Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law or otherwise to credit bid at any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Disposition of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender or an Issuing Bank may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, including the filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Loan Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (i) the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply all or any portion of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such Disposition and (ii) the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such Disposition.

No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation or Banking Services Obligation in its capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or by entering into documentation in connection with any Banking Services Obligation, each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:

(a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof (or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws);

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 thereof (or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws);

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

 

174


(e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Secured Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;

it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.

Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided, that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Secured Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent on a ratable basis.

With respect to any contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Secured Obligation, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph so long as the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Secured Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition. In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

Each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations are credit bid under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph is entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Secured Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition, by (y) the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

In addition, in case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding with respect to any Loan Party, each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Disbursement is then due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts to the extent due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

175


(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to any Secured Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ prior written notice, remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000; provided, that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower, Section 7.01(f) or 7.01(g), no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent

 

176


may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consultation with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral security as bailee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided above in this Article 8. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder as a successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13). The fees payable by the Borrower to any successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this purpose holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and appriasal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems

 

177


necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in its capacities as the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder, as applicable.

Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

(f) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed in a Disposition permitted under this Agreement to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that constitutes (or becomes) an Excluded Asset, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement in accordance with the Loan Documents or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required) in accordance with Section 9.02;

(g) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.21;

(h) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(l), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o) (other than any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor), 6.02(r), 6.02(w), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg), 6.02(hh), 6.02(ii), 6.02(jj) and 6.02(kk) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 6.02(k)); provided, that the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent shall only be required with respect to any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(l), 6.02(o), 6.02(q), 6.02(r), 6.02(u), 6.02(bb) and/or 6.02(hh) to the extent that the Lien of the Administrative Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Permitted Lien in accordance with the documentation governing the Indebtedness that is secured by such Permitted Lien; and

(i) enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification thereto permitted by Section 9.22) in respect of any Indebtedness, Banking Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations that, pursuant to the terms hereof, (i) is required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment and/or (ii) is secured by Liens, and with respect to which, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or similar agreement or arrangement.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8. In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as

 

178


such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, in each case, without recourse, representation or warranty and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnified liabilities, this Article 8 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Article 8 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Document, no counterparty to a Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations or provider of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute Banking Services Obligations that obtains the benefits of Section 2.17(b), any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Hedging Obligations or Banking Services Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable counterparty to such Hedge Agreement or provider of such Banking Services, as the case may be.

Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

 

179


(j) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(l) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(m) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (a) above is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (d) above, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 18.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by clause (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

 

182


(b) Subject to Sections 9.02(c) and 9.02(d), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Intercreditor Agreement or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document or any Intercreditor Agreement (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document or such Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A) the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that:

(1) increases the amount of, or extends the scheduled expiration date of, any Commitment of such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase or an extension of any Commitment of such Lender;

(2) reduces the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender or any scheduled amortization payment of any Loan due to such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Default, Event of Default, change to a financial ratio or change to any “most favored nation” provisions shall constitute such a reduction;

(3) (x) extends the scheduled final maturity of any Loan held by such Lender or (y) postpones any scheduled amortization payment of any Loan held by such Lender, or the date of any scheduled payment of any interest on any Loan held by such Lender or of any scheduled payment of any fee due to such Lender hereunder, it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute any such extension or postponement;

183


  i.

subordinates the Obligations (or any portion thereof) or the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (or any portion thereof) to any other Indebtedness;

(2) release of Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents on all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.21), without the prior written consent of each Lender, it being understood that any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 6.06 or the addition of obligations secured by the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents; or

(3) release all or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 9.21), without the prior written consent of each Lender, it being understood that an amendment or other modification of Section 6.06 or the addition of obligations Guaranteed under the Guarantee Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release of any Loan Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement;

(C) solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (and not without such consent), (x) any such agreement may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to any Revolving Loan (and if the approval set forth in this clause (C) is obtained, the consent of any other Lender

 

184


(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Required Lenders), shall not be required) and (y) only the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall be necessary to amend, modify or waive the terms and provisions of the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 6.14(a) (solely as it applies to the Financial Covenant as a “financial maintenance covenant”) and the provisions of Section 6.14(b) (and any related defined terms as used in such Sections, but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement);

(D) solely with the consent of the Required DDTL Lenders (and not without such consent), any such agreement may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.03 hereof as it pertains to any Delayed Draw Term Loan (and if the approval set forth in this clause (D) is obtained, the consent of any other Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Required Lenders), shall not be required); and

(E) no agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended:

(i) with the written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing or replacement of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans of any Class (any such Term Loans being refinanced or replaced, the “Replaced Term Loans”) with one or more replacement term loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided, that

(A) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, except by (1) any additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, provided that, to the extent any such additional amounts are secured, the related Liens are permitted under Section 6.02, plus (2) the amount of accrued interest and premium (including prepayment premium) thereon and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees and original issue discount), commissions and expenses associated therewith;

(B) such Replacement Term Loans shall have (1) a final maturity date that is no earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to such Replaced Term Loans and (2) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Term Loans;

185


(E) the other terms of such Replacement Term Loans (excluding pricing, interest, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or commitment terminations, amortization and prepayments (including restrictions on prepayments), subject to preceding clauses (B) through (D) above) shall not be materially more restrictive (when taken as a whole and as reasonably determined by the Borrower) on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to such Replaced Term Loans (other than any terms that (1) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date as of the date of incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans or (2) are added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders under each such then- existing Class of Term Loans); and

(F) such Replaced Term Loans and all accrued interest thereon shall be paid in full on the date of incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans; and

(A) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Revolving Facility shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Revolving Facility (including any undrawn commitments with respect thereto), except by (1) any additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, provided that, to the extent any such additional amounts are secured, the related Liens are permitted under Section 6.02, plus (2) the amount of accrued interest and premium (including prepayment premium) thereon, any committed but undrawn amounts and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees and original issue discount), commissions and expenses associated therewith;

(E) the other terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility (excluding pricing, interest, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or commitment terminations and prepayments, subject to preceding clauses (B) through (D) above) shall not be materially more restrictive (when taken as a whole and as reasonably determined by the Borrower) on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to such Replaced Revolving Facility (other than any terms that (1) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Revolving Maturity Date as of the date of incurrence of such Replacement Revolving Facility or (2) are added to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders under each such then-existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments); and

The Administrative Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Refinancing Amendment, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(viii) any Intercreditor Agreement may be amended as provided in Section 9.22;

(ix) (A) any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties thereunder of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class), including any waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03, may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under Section 9.02(b) if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, and (B) any waiver of any Default or Event of Default that arises from the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or certification made or deemed made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document or in any certificate required to be delivered in connection therewith, in each case, in connection with any Credit Extension under the Revolving Facility may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Revolving Lenders (without the consent of any other Lender);

(xii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to give effect to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter, it being understood that any failure by the Borrower to execute any such amendment when requested by the Administrative Agent shall be an Event of Default.

(e) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute waivers, amendments or modifications of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver, amendment or modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) to such Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts due under this clause (b) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities in respect of a non-Tax claim.

 

190


(c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.

SECTION 18.04 Waiver of Claim.

SECTION 18.05 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that (i) except as provided under Section 6.06, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the terms of this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, to the extent provided in clause (e) of this Section, Participants and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

191


(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (other than any such assignment to a Disqualified Institution) unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after receiving written notice thereof; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) for any assignment of (1) Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to another Revolving Lender or (2) Term Loans or Term Commitments to another Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund, or (y) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g) (solely with respect to the Borrower) exists;

(C) in the case of any Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of any assignment to another Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund or any assignment of the entire remaining amount of the relevant assigning Lender’s Loans or Commitments of any Class, the principal amount of Loans or Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to the relevant assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds or by Related Funds) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000, in the case of Term Loans and Term Commitments and (y) $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment to any Affiliated Lender or any Debt Fund Affiliate to the extent such assignment is made in compliance with Section 9.05(g);

(iii) Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section and except as otherwise provided in Section 9.05(g), from and after the effective date specified in any Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be (A) entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment and (B) subject to its obligations thereunder and under Section 9.13). If any assignment by any Lender holding any Promissory Note is made after the issuance of such Promissory Note, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender such Promissory Note to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and, following such cancellation, if requested by either the assignee or the assigning Lender, the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Promissory Note to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the amount of the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans and LC Disbursements. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (but only as to its own holdings), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 9.05(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee is already a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section, if applicable, and any written consent to the relevant assignment required by clause (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

193


(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender, sell participations to any bank or other entity (other than to any Disqualified Institution, any natural person or, other than with respect to any participation to any Debt Fund Affiliate (any such participations to a Debt Fund Affiliate being subject to the limitation set forth in the first proviso of the penultimate paragraph set forth in Section 9.05(g), as if the limitation applied to such participations), the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clause (B) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.18) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(c), to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

194


(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided, that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) (i) Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.13 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Institution.

(ii) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made by any Lender to any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such Person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) exercise its rights under Section 2.18(b), provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.18(b), with respect the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, such Disqualified Person shall only be entitled to receive the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus

 

195


accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (B) with respect to any Term Loans of any Class held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans from such Disqualified Person (and such Disqualified Person shall be obligated to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Term Loans) by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (I) no processing and recordation fee required under clause (b)(ii)(C) of this Section 9.05 shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (II) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days following the effectiveness of such assignment; provided, that to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following the effectiveness of such assignment, then such excess amount shall either be (x) contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled. Each Lender acknowledges its agreements and appointments set forth in Section 2.18(b) with respect to this Section 9.05(f)(ii).

(iii) If any Disqualified Person shall have been identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, such Disqualified Person (A) shall not be permitted to, and shall not, (x) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof by or among any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (y) receive any information or materials prepared by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any communication by or among any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (in each case, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2), (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority in interest of any Class of Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any waiver, amendment, modification or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or a majority in interest of any Class of Lenders has provided or undertook any such consent, action, direction or requirement and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 2.12(c), 2.15 or 9.03.

(iv) Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. It is understood that the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions and Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution or a Disqualified Person.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, sell for cash and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (i) in respect of its Term Loans of any Class, to any Affiliated Lender or (ii) in respect of its Loans or Commitments of any Class, to any Debt Fund Affiliate, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders holding the Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that:

(i) in the case of any such assignment to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any Term Loans acquired by it shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; it being agreed that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each scheduled principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of the applicable Class pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled;

(ii) the relevant Affiliated Lender or Debt Fund Affiliate and assigning Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;

(iv) in the case of any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or open market purchase conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to fund the purchase price for such assignment and (B) no Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such open market purchase, as applicable; and

SECTION 18.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, each Intercreditor Agreement (if any), the Fee Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 18.09 Right of Setoff. At any time when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and, subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided, further, that, to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation”, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Loan Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor. Any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided, that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.09. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may have.

Holdings and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that: (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) and the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by any Lender are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, (ii) each Lender, in its capacity as such, is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, and no Agent, Lender or the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests Holdings, the Borrower or their respective Affiliates. Holdings and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for and capable of making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of such transactions and the Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Exhibit 10.10

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made among Cano Health, LLC (the “Company”), JAWS Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Parent”) and Dr. Marlow Hernandez (the “Executive”). Effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Parent, and Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect owner of all outstanding membership interests of the Company (the “Business Combination Agreement”), this Agreement supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries regarding the subject matter herein, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement between the Executive and the Company, dated as of December 23, 2016 (the “Prior Agreement”).

WHEREAS, effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Effective Date”), the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company on the new terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Employment.

(a) Term. Unless the Executive’s employment terminates sooner in accordance with the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive shall be employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided that the employment period (the “Term”) shall be renewed automatically for successive periods of one (1) year (each a “Renewal Term”) unless the Company delivers to the Executive, or the Executive delivers to the Company, written notice of the Company’s or the Executive’s, as applicable, election not to renew the Term for the following Renewal Term (a “Non-Renewal Notice”), within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable.

(b) Position and Duties. The Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and of Parent and shall have such powers and duties that are customary for a U.S. public company Chief Executive Officer and such other additional duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Board”). In addition, the Parent shall cause the Executive to be nominated for election to the Board and to be recommended to the stockholders for election to the Board as long as the Executive remains the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent (the “CEO”), provided that the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board and from any related positions upon ceasing to serve as CEO for any reason. At the Executive’s election, the Executive may also provide professional medical services to patients of the Company which shall include, but not be limited to, consultations, examinations, call coverage, treatments and reports (the “Medical Services”). The Executive shall devote the Executive’s full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors, with the approval of the Board, or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities, as long as such services and activities do not interfere with the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company or Parent.

 

1


(c) Medical Judgment. With respect to the Executive’s provision of Medical Services (if any) only, neither the Company nor the Parent shall (i) inhibit the freedom necessary for the Executive to practice medicine in a manner which assures that the interests of the Company’s patients are given primary consideration; (ii) exercise any control or discretion over the means, manner or method by which the Executive provides professional services hereunder that would be detrimental to any patient; or (iii) make any treatment decisions for any patient receiving medical care by the Executive, except to the extent required by applicable state or federal law. The Executive, in his sole discretion, shall accept patients, provided that the Executive shall not discriminate against anyone on the basis of sex, race, national origin, color, religion, disability, handicap, age, sexual orientation, ability to pay or insurance carrier/payer. Any referrals made by the Executive shall be based upon the medical judgment of the Executive while acting in the best interest of patients.

2. Additional Duties in Connection with Medical Services (if Any).

In the event that the Executive provides Medical Services pursuant to Section 1(b), the parties agree to the additional provisions set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement.

3. Compensation and Related Matters.

(a) Base Salary. The Executive’s initial base salary shall be paid at the rate of $350,000 per year. Thereafter, the Executive’s base salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board, provided that the Executive’s base salary may be increased but not decreased. The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices for executive officers.

(b) Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time (“Incentive Compensation”). The Executive’s target annual Incentive Compensation shall not be less than 50 percent of the Executive’s Base Salary (referred to herein as “Target Bonus”), subject to increase as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The actual amount of the Executive’s annual Incentive Compensation, if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of any applicable Incentive Compensation plan that may be in effect from time to time, which terms shall generally be no less favorable in the aggregate to the terms of any Incentive Compensation plan applicable to other executive officers of the Company. Except as may be provided by the Board or the Compensation Committee or as may otherwise be set forth in the applicable Incentive Compensation plan or this Agreement, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date such Incentive Compensation is paid in order to earn or receive any annual Incentive Compensation.


(c) Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its executive officers.

(d) Other Benefits. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of such plans.

(e) Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to take paid time off in accordance with the Company’s applicable paid time off policy for executives, as may be in effect from time to time.

(f) Parent Equity. The Parent will grant Executive the following equity awards (the “Equity Awards”):

(i) Initial Grant of Stock Options: On the Closing Date, Parent shall grant a stock option to purchase 2,820,000 shares of class A common stock of Parent (“Parent Stock”), which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and an equity award agreement substantially in the form of the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(ii) Annual Equity Award: Subject to approval by the Board or Compensation Committee, the Executive shall also be eligible to receive an annual equity award with a target value of $2,411,000 (the “Target Annual Equity Award Value”) at substantially the same time as annual equity awards are granted to other executive officers of the Company, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan and shall be comprised of a stock option to purchase Parent Stock subject to a form of award agreement substantially in the form of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D and/or restricted stock units in respect of Parent Stock subject to an award agreement substantially in the form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (with such adjustments thereto as reasonably determined by the Board in its sole discretion, provided that with respect to the first annual equity award following the Effective Date, any such adjustments to the aggregate value, nature of award and performance hurdles shall be immaterial), as allocated among options and RSUs as determined by the Board or Compensation Committee.

4. Termination. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon death.

(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if the Executive is disabled and unable to perform or expected to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing


position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following:

(i) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of misconduct solely in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties as CEO, including (A) a willful failure or refusal to perform material responsibilities that have been requested by the Board, or (B) misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or Parent or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company or Parent property for personal purposes;

(ii) Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to (A) any felony or (B) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud;

(iii) a material breach by the Executive of any of the Continuing Obligations (defined below) or any of the other provisions contained in Section 9 of this Agreement;

(iv) a material violation by the Executive of any of the Company’s written employment policies regarding discrimination and harassment; or

(v) the Executive’s failure to materially cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Board to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation (after the Executive receives notices to preserve such documents or other materials) or the willful inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials with such investigation.

Provided, however, that the Executive will be provided written notice of any alleged action or inaction giving rise to “Cause” under clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or, (v) describing with reasonable particularity the basis for such “Cause” and will be provided thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to cure such alleged action or inaction. If timely cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction, such occurrence will not constitute “Cause.”


(d) Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (other than (x) a termination for Cause under Section 4(c) or (y) a termination resulting from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 4(a) or (b)), including any such termination resulting from the Company’s election not to renew the Term for a Renewal Term under Section 4(f), shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

(e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to, Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has completed all steps of the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s consent (each, a “Good Reason Condition”):

(i) a diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties;

(ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary, Executive’s Target Bonus, and/or Target Annual Equity Award Value (collectively, the “Total Target Compensation”), except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company;

(iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive provides services to the Company, such that there is an increase of at least thirty (30) miles of driving distance to such location from the Executive’s principal residence as of such change (provided that the requirement that the Executive provide services at the location of the current headquarters of the Company shall not trigger “Good Reason”); or

(iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, including the Executive’s removal from the Board, despite the Executive’s willingness and ability to serve on the Board.

The “Good Reason Process” consists of the following steps:

(i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred;

(ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 75 days of the first occurrence of such condition;

(iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the Good Reason Condition;

(iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist at the end of the Cure Period; and


(v) the Executive terminates employment within 120 days after the end of the Cure Period.

If the Company cures the Good Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

(f) Termination by Notice of Non-Renewal. Each of the Executive and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment by delivering a Non-Renewal Notice within 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable.

5. Matters related to Termination.

(a) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 4(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by death, the date of death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 4(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 4(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause under Section 4(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or the date otherwise specified by the Company in the Notice of Termination; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) other than for Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period; and (vi) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of either party providing a Notice of Non-Renewal, the last day of the Initial Term or current Renewal Term (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company or Notice of Non-Renewal, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Accrued Obligations. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to the Executive’s authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination and, if applicable, any accrued but unused vacation through the Date of Termination; (ii) unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3(c) of this Agreement); and (iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).


(d) Resignation of All Other Positions. To the extent applicable, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all officer and board member positions that the Executive holds with the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries and affiliates upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive shall execute any documents in reasonable form as may be requested to confirm or effectuate any such resignations.

6. Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d) (including the Company’s delivery of a Non-Renewal Notice as provided in Section 4(f)), or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 4(e), then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to the Executive delivering an executed “Separation Agreement and Release of Claims” in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Separation Agreement”) and the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination (or such shorter period as set forth in the Separation Agreement):

(a) Severance Payments Outside a Change in Control Period. If the date of the Notice of Termination provided under Section 5 is not within twelve (12) months following a Sale Event (as defined in the 2021 Plan) (a “Change in Control Period”), the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to (i) twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Base Salary (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (ii) any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation with respect to the completed year prior to the year of the Date of Termination; and (iii) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason).

(b) Severance Payments During a Change in Control Period. If the date of the Notice of Termination provided under Section 5 is during a Change in Control Period (even if the Date of Termination does not occur during a Change in Control Period), the Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) an amount in cash equal to 2 times the sum of (x) the Executive’s Base Salary (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason) and (y) the average annual Incentive Compensation paid to the Executive in each of the two completed years prior to the year of the Executive’s Date of Termination (provided that, if Incentive Compensation has not been paid to the Executive for each of the prior two years, such amount shall be the Executive’s Target Bonus for the current year) (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (ii) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (iii) any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation with respect to the completed year prior to the year of the Date of Termination; and (iv) full acceleration of vesting of all outstanding equity awards granted by the Parent, including the Equity Awards (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied based on actual performance measured in the Company’s reasonable discretion as of such termination).


(c) subject to the Executive’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and the Executive’s proper election to receive benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall pay to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider a monthly payment equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company until the earliest of (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Date of Termination; (B) the date that the Executive becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan; or (C) the cessation of the Executive’s health continuation rights under COBRA; provided, however, that if the Company determines that it cannot pay such amounts to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider (if applicable) without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then the Company shall convert such payments to payroll payments directly to the Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments to the Executive shall be subject to tax-related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

The amounts payable under Section 6, to the extent taxable, shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over twelve (12) months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments, to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

7. Additional Limitation.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).


(b) For purposes of this Section 7(b), the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(c) The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall be made by an independent (not otherwise employed by the Company), nationally recognized accounting firm selected and paid for by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

8. Section 409A.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement or otherwise on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.


(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

9. Continuing Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 9 shall collectively be referred to as the “Continuing Obligations.”

(a) Non-Competition. The Executive agrees that during the Term and for two (2) years following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be an officer or an employee of any business or organization that provides, directly or indirectly (including as a provider or as a management services organization), in a primary care clinic setting (which includes without limitation the practice of primary care medicine in a multidisciplinary clinic) professional medical services, diagnostic, therapeutic and ancillary services, nursing and other clinical services, outpatient healthcare services, pharmacy services or any other services incident to the operation of an internal medicine practice in a primary care clinic setting (each, a “Restricted Business”). The foregoing restriction shall apply anywhere in the areas where the Company, its subsidiaries, or any subsidiaries of Parent conduct or have conducted a Restricted Business (or have expended material resources or time to plan the conduct of a Restricted Business, which plans remain active and have not been abandoned) during the Term, including, but not limited to, the United States (including Puerto Rico) (the “Restricted Territory”). The foregoing shall not restrict the Executive from owning up to 3% of any class of securities of any person engaged in a Restricted Business if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as long as such securities are held solely as a passive investment and not with a view to influencing, controlling or directing the affairs of such person.


(b) Non-Solicitation. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, (i) solicit, induce, attempt to solicit or induce, or hire or attempt to hire any person that is, or was within twelve (12) months prior to the Executive’s termination date, an employee of the Company; provided, however, this Section 9(b) shall not be breached by a solicitation to the general public or through general advertising, or (ii) solicit, advise or encourage any person, firm, government agency or corporation (a “Customer”), including without limitation any potential customer of the Company that to the Executive’s knowledge was engaged in discussion with the Company during the Executive’s employment to do business with the Company (or with whom the Executive actively worked during employment), to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business (or potential business) with the Company.

(c) Non-Disparagement. During the Term and thereafter, the Executive agrees that he will not, at any time, make, directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging of the Company, its business, its products or services, or any of its present or former officers, directors, members, stockholders, managers or employees. During the Term and thereafter, the Company agrees that it will not, at any time, make directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging to the Executive. The Executive understands that the Company’s obligations under this Section 9(c) extend only to the Company’s and Parent’s current executive officers and members of the Board and the Company’s Board of Directors and only for so long as each officer or member is an employee or director of the Company or the Parent, as applicable.

(d) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in (i) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company, and (ii) the investigation, whether internal or external, of any matters about which the Company believes the Executive may have knowledge or information. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims, actions or investigations shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to answer questions or to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 9(d).

(e) Relief. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the Continuing Obligations, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of the Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.


(f) Reasonable Limitation and Severability. The parties agree that the above restrictions on competition are (i) appropriate and reasonable given the Executive’s role with and knowledge of the Company and Parent, and are necessary to protect the interests of the Company and Parent and (ii) completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has carefully considered the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 9, and acknowledges that if this Agreement is enforced according to its terms, the Executive will be able to earn a reasonable living in commercial activities unrelated to the business of the Company in locations satisfactory to the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 9 are a vital part of and are intrinsic to the ongoing operations of the Company, in light of the nature of the business of the Company and the unique position, skills and knowledge of the Executive with the Company. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 9 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties hereby authorize the court to reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable and the parties intend that the affected provision be enforced as so amended. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the Executive has breached or is in breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 9(a) or (b), the Restricted Period shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the duration of such breach.

10. Stock Ownership Guidelines. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable stock ownership guidelines and/or policy of the Company shall not apply to the Executive following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason.

11. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of the Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Executive will sign the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “PIIA”), attached hereto as Exhibit B. Nothing in or about this Agreement (including the PIIA), however, prohibits the Executive from: (a) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (b) providing any information about this Agreement to the SEC, or providing the SEC with information that would otherwise violate any section of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act, (c) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company or (d) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

12. Arbitration of Disputes.

(a) Arbitration Generally. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination or retaliation, whether based on race, religion, national origin, sex, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected class under applicable law) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form


agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of JAMS in Miami, Florida in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. The Executive understands that the Executive may only bring such claims in the Executive’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class proceeding or any purported representative proceeding.    The Executive further understands that, by signing this Agreement, the Company and the Executive are giving up any right they may have to a jury trial on all claims they may have against each other. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 12 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate, including without limitation relief sought in connection with the Continuing Obligations; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 12.

(b) Arbitration Fees and Costs. Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any, in connection with any arbitration. If, however, any party prevails on a statutory or contractual claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees (including pursuant to this Agreement), the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party to the extent permitted by law.

13. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 12 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Florida. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.

14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Executive and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE EXECUTIVE’S OR THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE UNDER, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

15. Integration. This Agreement, the PIIA, and any plans or programs referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.

16. Withholding; Tax Effect. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.


17. Successors and Assigns. None of the Executive, the Company or the Parent may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company or Parent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Continuing Obligations) without the Executive’s consent to any affiliate or to any person or entity with whom the Company or Parent shall hereafter effect a reorganization or consolidation, into which the Company or Parent merges or to whom it transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets; provided further that if the Executive remains employed or becomes employed by the Company, the purchaser or any of their affiliates in connection with any such transaction, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits or vesting pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement solely as a result of such transaction. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Executive, the Company and the Parent, and each of the Executive’s, the Company’s and the Parent’s respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. In the event of the Executive’s death after the Executive’s termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due to the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Executive’s death (or to the Executive’s estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).

18. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.

20. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

21. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company or the Parent, at their respective main offices, attention of the Board.

22. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company and the Parent.


23. Effect on Other Plans and Agreements. An election by the Executive to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any of the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights of the Executive under the Company’s or Parent’s benefit plans, programs or policies except as otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof, and except that the Executive shall have no rights to any severance benefits under any Company or Parent severance pay plan, offer letter or otherwise. In the event that the Executive is party to an agreement with the Company or Parent providing for payments or benefits under such plan or agreement and under this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and the Executive may receive payment under this Agreement only and not both.

24. Governing Law. This is a Florida contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with the law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective on the Effective Date.

Exhibit A

Additional Duties in Connection with Medical Services (if Any)

In the event the Executive elects to provide the Medical Services pursuant to Section 1(b) of this Agreement, the Executive agrees to the following, solely to the extent applicable to the provision of Medical Services in the Practicing States (as defined below).

(a) Payor Arrangements.

(i) The Executive shall become and remain, while providing the Medical Services, a participating physician in Medicare, Medicaid and any other payor arrangements and any prepaid or managed care health care programs as are designated by the Company in the Practicing States for all Medical Services rendered by the Executive to patients who are covered under such programs.

(ii) The Executive hereby consents to the Company’s release of information regarding the Executive as requested by third party payers under managed care agreements entered into by the Company, which information must be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of such managed care agreements.

(iii) From time to time, the Company may enter into managed care or network agreements with third party payors, employers, or governmental entities that, among other things, may require the Company and/or the Executive to engage in utilization review or peer review activities. The Executive will fully cooperate in such activities and will comply with any and all reasonable requirements of any managed care or network agreement to which the Company becomes a party. If required by any managed care entity or network, the Executive will execute the agreement individually, notwithstanding that all fees generated by such agreement will belong to the Company.

(b) Patients and Records of the Company. Without superseding any patient’s right to choose a provider of health or medical services, the Executive acknowledges that all patients for whom the Medical Services are provided by the Executive shall be patients of the Company and not of the Executive. While providing the Medical Services, the Executive shall, whenever possible, refer patients to the Company and its affiliates and use the Company and its affiliates when a referral is called for, and the Executive shall not induce, solicit, or encourage any patient who has received or is receiving health or medical services from the Company or its affiliates to seek such services from another provider/supplier; provided, however, that such requirements shall be waived when: (a) the patient expresses a different choice; (b) the patient’s insurer determines the provider/supplier; or (c) the referral is not in the best medical interest of the patient in the Executive’s judgment. All medical, patient, business, financial, or other records, papers, and documents generated by the Executive, the Company, or employees or agents of the Company shall belong to the Company, and the Executive shall have no right to keep or retain such records, papers, or documents after this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that upon the request of the Executive after termination, the Company shall provide the Executive with copies of the patient records of patients treated by the Executive at the patient’s request or for such reasonable purposes as defending against professional liability claims.


(c) Additional Duties. The Executive’s duties with respect to the Medical Services shall also include the following:

(i) Complying with and abiding by any policies, procedures, rules, regulations, guidelines and requirements of the Company, as may be amended, promulgated or eliminated by the Company in its discretion from time to time.

(ii) Complying with any provision of state or federal law, and any regulation thereunder, now in effect or later adopted relating to the Medical Services to be provided under this Agreement and that are applicable to the Executive. The Executive also agrees to be bound by, and to follow, the provisions of the Company’s privacy policies and practices, as well as other state and federal privacy laws.

(iii) Preparing and maintaining, or causing to be prepared and maintained, necessary or appropriate reports, claims, correspondence and records as may be required by state and/or federal law or regulations and/or by Medicare and Medicaid intermediaries and carriers relating to the Medical Services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the Executive’s maintenance and retention of all records and reports will be such that the Company can comply with requests and requirements, as may be amended from time-to-time, of third party payers and other regulatory authorities including, but not limited to, Medicare, Blue Cross, the Comptroller General of the United States and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Executive’s responsibilities with respect to this subsection, other than the obligation to maintain applicable reports, claims, correspondence and records, will survive termination of the Executive’s employment. All such reports, claims, correspondence and records belong to the Company and shall be maintained and retained on the Company’s premises

(d) Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. During the provision of the Medical Services,

(i) The Executive will maintain a valid and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the states in which the Executive is licensed to practice medicine as of the Effective Date (such state(s), the “Practicing Sate(s)”) and is registered with such state agencies as may be required to carry out the duties hereunder and to practice as a physician in the field of medicine in such state(s).

The Executive shall notify the Company immediately, in writing, of any plans for such a financial relationship to be created, or in the case of immediate family members, as soon as the Executive has knowledge of the existence of or plan to create such a financial relationship.


Exhibit B

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that Cano Health, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Company”), and I (Dr. Marlow Hernandez) have had since the commencement of my employment (which term, for purposes of this agreement, shall be deemed to include any relationship of service to Company that I may have had prior to actually becoming an employee) with Company in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Company:

1. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with Company. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Company in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.

2. Company shall own, and I hereby assign to Company, all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, sui generis database rights and all other intellectual property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information (collectively, “Inventions”) made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with Company (collectively, “Company Inventions”), and I will promptly disclose all Company Inventions to Company. The term “Company Inventions” will not include any Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by me for the Company. Without disclosing any third party confidential information, I will also disclose anything I believe is excluded by the foregoing so that Company can make an independent assessment. I shall further assist Company, at Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect the foregoing assignment and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my employment that relates to Company’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of the foregoing assignment, I have listed it on Appendix A in a manner that does not violate any third party rights or disclose any confidential information. Without limiting Section 1 or Company’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company, I use or (except pursuant to this Section 2) disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Company Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Company will have, and I hereby grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights.


3. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.

4. I agree that all Company Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment that relate to Company or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon termination of my employment, I will promptly return to Company all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to shareholders generally and (iii) this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.

5. I agree that during the term of my employment with Company (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business of Company, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company.

6. I agree that this Agreement is not an employment contract for any particular term and that I have the right to resign and Company has the right to terminate my employment at will, at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Company, I have obligations to Company which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by the Board of Directors of Company.

7. I agree that my obligations under paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and that Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Company, its subsidiaries, successors and assigns.


8. Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. This Agreement is fully assignable and transferable by Company, but any purported assignment or transfer by me is void. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies and without any requirement to post bond.

9. Pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I acknowledge receipt of the following notice: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.” I further understand that nothing contained in this Agreement limits my ability to (A) communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, including to provide documents or other information, without notice to Company, or (B) share compensation information concerning myself or others, except that this does not permit me to disclose compensation information concerning others that I obtain because my job responsibilities require or allow access to such information.

10. Nothing in or about this Agreement prohibits me from: (i) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) providing Proprietary Information or information about this Agreement to the SEC, or providing the SEC with information that would otherwise violate any section of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act, (iii) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company or (iv) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT.

Exhibit 10.11

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made among Cano Health, LLC (the “Company”), JAWS Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Parent”) and Dr. Richard Aguilar (the “Executive”). Effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Parent, and Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect owner of all outstanding membership interests of the Company (the “Business Combination Agreement”), this Agreement supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries regarding the subject matter herein, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement between the Executive and the Company, dated as of December 23, 2016 (the “Prior Agreement”).

WHEREAS, effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Effective Date”), the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company on the new terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Employment.

(a) Term. Unless the Executive’s employment terminates sooner in accordance with the provisions of Section 4, the Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive shall be employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided that the employment period (the “Term”) shall be renewed automatically for successive periods of one (1) year (each a “Renewal Term”) unless the Company delivers to the Executive, or the Executive delivers to the Company, written notice of the Company’s or the Executive’s, as applicable, election not to renew the Term for the following Renewal Term (a “Non-Renewal Notice”), within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable.

(b) Position and Duties. The Executive shall serve as the Chief Clinical Officer of the Company and shall have such powers and duties that are customary for a Chief Clinical Officer and such other additional duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) or the board of directors of the Company. At the Executive’s election, the Executive may also provide professional medical services to patients of the Company which shall include, but not be limited to, consultations, examinations, call coverage, treatments and reports (the “Medical Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Medical Services shall not include any services the Executive provides in connection with the Clinical Business (as defined below). The Executive shall devote the Executive’s full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors, with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Board”), continue the Executive’s existing clinical business in Los Angeles, California (the “Clinical Business”) or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities, as long as such services and activities do not interfere with the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company.

 

1


(c) Medical Judgment. With respect to the Executive’s provision of Medical Services (if any) only, neither the Company nor the Parent shall (i) inhibit the freedom necessary for the Executive to practice medicine in a manner which assures that the interests of the Company’s patients are given primary consideration; (ii) exercise any control or discretion over the means, manner or method by which the Executive provides professional services hereunder that would be detrimental to any patient; or (iii) make any treatment decisions for any patient receiving medical care by the Executive, except to the extent required by applicable state or federal law. The Executive, in his sole discretion, shall accept patients, provided that the Executive shall not discriminate against anyone on the basis of sex, race, national origin, color, religion, disability, handicap, age, sexual orientation, ability to pay or insurance carrier/payer. Any referrals made by the Executive shall be based upon the medical judgment of the Executive while acting in the best interest of patients.

2. Additional Duties in Connection with Medical Services (if Any).

In the event that the Executive provides Medical Services pursuant to Section 1(b), the parties agree to the additional provisions set forth on Exhibit A of this Agreement.

3. Compensation and Related Matters.

(a) Base Salary. The Executive’s initial base salary shall be paid at the rate of $300,000 per year. Thereafter, the Executive’s base salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board, provided that the Executive’s base salary may be increased but not decreased. The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices for executive officers.

(b) Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time (“Incentive Compensation”). The Executive’s target annual Incentive Compensation shall not be less than 40 percent of the Executive’s Base Salary (referred to herein as “Target Bonus”), subject to increase as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The actual amount of the Executive’s annual Incentive Compensation, if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of any applicable Incentive Compensation plan that may be in effect from time to time, which terms shall generally be no less favorable in the aggregate to the terms of any Incentive Compensation plan applicable to other executive officers of the Company. Except as may be provided by the Board or the Compensation Committee or as may otherwise be set forth in the applicable Incentive Compensation plan or this Agreement, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date such Incentive Compensation is paid in order to earn or receive any annual Incentive Compensation.

 

2


(c) Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its executive officers.

(d) Other Benefits. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of such plans.

(e) Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to take paid time off in accordance with the Company’s applicable paid time off policy for executives, as may be in effect from time to time.

(f) Parent Equity. The Parent will grant Executive the following equity awards (the “Equity Awards”):

(i) Initial Grant of Stock Options: On the Closing Date, Parent shall grant a stock option to purchase 600,700 shares of class A common stock of Parent (“Parent Stock”), which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and an equity award agreement substantially in the form of the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(ii) Initial Grant of Restricted Stock Units: Immediately subsequent to the filing of a Form S-8 by Parent, which filing shall be made by Parent as soon as reasonable possible after the Closing Date, Parent shall grant an award of restricted stock units in respect of 200,000 shares of Parent Stock, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Cano Health, Inc. 2021 Plan and an equity award agreement substantially in the form of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D.

(iii) Annual Equity Award: Subject to approval by the Board or Compensation Committee, the Executive shall also be eligible to receive an annual equity award with a target value of $646,000 (the “Target Annual Equity Award Value”) at substantially the same time as annual equity awards are granted to other executive officers of the Company, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan and shall be comprised of a stock option to purchase Parent Stock subject to a form of award agreement substantially in the form of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E and/or restricted stock units in respect of Parent Stock subject to an award agreement substantially in the form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F (with such adjustments thereto as reasonably determined by the Board in its sole discretion, provided that with respect to the first annual equity award following the Effective Date, any such adjustments to the aggregate value, nature of award and performance hurdles shall be immaterial), as allocated among options and RSUs, as determined by the Board or Compensation Committee.

4. Termination. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon death.

 

3


(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if the Executive is disabled and unable to perform or expected to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any twelve (12) month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following:

(i) expulsion, suspension, material restriction or loss of license that materially restricts the Executive’s ability to perform duties customary for a Chief Clinical Officer by any professional medical or governmental licensing organization (including, if applicable, any applicable state medical licensing board); provided, however, that this Agreement shall not terminate pursuant to this subsection: (a) prior to the termination of the time permitted by law for the Executive to take a timely appeal of such action or (b) if a timely appeal is taken, while such appeal is pending but in no event more than ninety (90) days following the taking of such appeal; provided, however, that from the time of such action until the expiration of the time periods in clauses (a) and (b), the Company shall place the Executive on an unpaid leave of absence, during which time the Company shall have no obligation to pay any compensation to the Executive but the Company will, at the Executive’s election, continue the Executive’s benefits during such leave if the Executive pays or reimburses the Company for the cost of such benefits;

(ii) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of misconduct solely in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties as Chief Clinical Officer, including (A) a willful failure or refusal to perform material responsibilities that have been requested by the CEO, or (B) misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or Parent or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company or Parent property for personal purposes;

(iii) Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to (A) any felony or (B) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud;

 

4


(iv) a material breach by the Executive of any of the Continuing Obligations (defined below) or any of the other provisions contained in Section 9 of this Agreement;

(v) a material violation by the Executive of any of the Company’s written employment policies regarding discrimination and harassment; or

(vi) the Executive’s failure to materially cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Board to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation (after the Executive receives notices to preserve such documents or other materials) or the willful inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials with such investigation.

Provided, however, that the Executive will be provided written notice of any alleged action or inaction giving rise to “Cause” under clauses (iii), (v) or (vi) describing with reasonable particularity the basis for such “Cause” and will be provided thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to cure such alleged action or inaction. If timely cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction, such occurrence will not constitute “Cause.”

(d) Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (other than (x) a termination for Cause under Section 4(c) or (y) a termination resulting from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 4(a) or (b)), including any such termination resulting from the Company’s election not to renew the Term for a Renewal Term under Section 4(f), shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

(e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to, Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has completed all steps of the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s consent (each, a “Good Reason Condition”):

(i) a diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties;

(ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary, Executive’s Target Bonus, and/or Target Annual Equity Award Value (collectively, the “Total Target Compensation”), except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company;

(iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive provides services to the Company, such that there is an increase of at least thirty (30) miles of driving distance to such location from the Executive’s principal residence as of such change (provided that the requirement that the Executive provide services at the location of the current headquarters of the Company shall not trigger “Good Reason”); or

 

5


(iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. The “Good Reason Process” consists of the following steps:

(v) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred;

(vi) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 75 days of the first occurrence of such condition;

(vii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the Good Reason Condition;

(viii) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist at the end of the Cure Period; and

(ix) the Executive terminates employment within 120 days after the end of the Cure Period.

If the Company cures the Good Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

(f) Termination by Notice of Non-Renewal. Each of the Executive and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment by delivering a Non-Renewal Notice within 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable.

5. Matters related to Termination.

(a) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 4(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by death, the date of death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 4(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 4(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause under Section 4(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or the date otherwise specified by the Company in the Notice of Termination; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) other than for Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of

 

6


Termination is given; (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period; and (vi) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of either party providing a Notice of Non-Renewal, the last day of the Initial Term or current Renewal Term (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company or Notice of Non-Renewal, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Accrued Obligations. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to the Executive’s authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination and, if applicable, any accrued but unused vacation through the Date of Termination; (ii) unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3(c) of this Agreement); and (iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).

(d) Resignation of All Other Positions. To the extent applicable, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all officer and board member positions that the Executive holds with the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries and affiliates upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive shall execute any documents in reasonable form as may be requested to confirm or effectuate any such resignations.

6. Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d) (including the Company’s delivery of a Non-Renewal Notice as provided in Section 4(f)), or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 4(e), then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to the Executive delivering an executed “Separation Agreement and Release of Claims” in the form attached as Exhibit G (the “Separation Agreement”) and the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination (or such shorter period as set forth in the Separation Agreement):

(a) Severance Payments Outside a Change in Control Period. If the date of the Notice of Termination provided under Section 5 is not within twelve (12) months following a Sale Event (as defined in the 2021 Plan) (a “Change in Control Period”), the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to (i) twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Base Salary (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (ii) any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation with respect to the completed year prior to the year of the Date of Termination; and (iii) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason).

 

7


(b) Severance Payments During a Change in Control Period. If the date of the Notice of Termination provided under Section 5 is during a Change in Control Period (even if the Date of Termination does not occur during a Change in Control Period), the Company shall pay the Executive an amount in cash equal to (i) 2 times the sum of (x) the Executive’s Base Salary (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason) and (y) the average annual Incentive Compensation paid to the Executive in each of the two completed years prior to the year of the Executive’s Date of Termination (provided that, if Incentive Compensation has not been paid to the Executive for each of the prior two years, such amount shall be the Executive’s Target Bonus for the current year) (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (ii) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (ignoring any reduction that constitutes Good Reason); (iii) any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation with respect to the completed year prior to the year of the Date of Termination; and (iv) full acceleration of vesting of all outstanding equity awards granted by the Parent, including the Equity Awards (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied based on actual performance measured in the Company’s reasonable discretion as of such termination).

(c) subject to the Executive’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and the Executive’s proper election to receive benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall pay to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider a monthly payment equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company until the earliest of (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Date of Termination; (B) the date that the Executive becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan; or (C) the cessation of the Executive’s health continuation rights under COBRA; provided, however, that if the Company determines that it cannot pay such amounts to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider (if applicable) without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then the Company shall convert such payments to payroll payments directly to the Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments to the Executive shall be subject to tax-related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

The amounts payable under Section 6, to the extent taxable, shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over 12 months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments, to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

7. Additional Limitation.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

(b) For purposes of this Section 7(b), the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(c) The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall be made by an independent (not otherwise employed by the Company), nationally recognized accounting firm selected and paid for by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

8. Section 409A.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement or otherwise on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall

 

9


not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

9. Continuing Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 9 shall collectively be referred to as the “Continuing Obligations.”

 

10


(a) Non-Competition. The Executive agrees that during the Term and for two (2) years following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be an officer or an employee of any business or organization that provides, directly or indirectly (including as a provider or as a management services organization), in a primary care clinic setting (which includes without limitation the practice of primary care medicine in a multidisciplinary clinic) professional medical services, diagnostic, therapeutic and ancillary services, nursing and other clinical services, outpatient healthcare services, pharmacy services or any other services incident to the operation of an internal medicine practice in a primary care clinic setting (each, a “Restricted Business”). The foregoing restriction shall apply anywhere in the areas where the Company, its subsidiaries, or any subsidiaries of Parent conduct or have conducted a Restricted Business (or have expended material resources or time to plan the conduct of a Restricted Business, which plans remain active and have not been abandoned) during the Term, including, but not limited to, the United States (including Puerto Rico) (the “Restricted Territory”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that this Section 9(a) shall not restrict the Executive from operating the Clinical Business or from owning up to 3% of any class of securities of any person engaged in a Restricted Business if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as long as such securities are held solely as a passive investment and not with a view to influencing, controlling or directing the affairs of such person.

(b) Non-Solicitation. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, (i) solicit, induce, attempt to solicit or induce, or hire or attempt to hire any person that is, or was within twelve (12) months prior to the Executive’s termination date, an employee of the Company; provided, however, this Section 9(b) shall not be breached by a solicitation to the general public or through general advertising, or (ii) solicit, advise or encourage any person, firm, government agency or corporation (a “Customer”), including without limitation any potential customer of the Company that to the Executive’s knowledge was engaged in discussion with the Company during the Executive’s employment to do business with the Company (or with whom the Executive actively worked during employment), to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business (or potential business) with the Company.

(c) Non-Disparagement. During the Term and thereafter, the Executive agrees that he will not, at any time, make, directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging of the Company, its business, its products or services, or any of its present or former officers, directors, members, stockholders, managers or employees. During the Term and thereafter, the Company agrees that it will not, at any time, make directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging to the Executive. The Executive understands that the Company’s obligations under this Section 9(c) extend only to the Company’s and Parent’s current executive officers and members of the Board and the Company’s Board of Directors and only for so long as each officer or member is an employee or director of the Company, or the Parent, as applicable.

(d) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with respect to the Clinical Business which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information, other than confidentiality restrictions (if any), or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The

 

11


Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have with respect to the Clinical Business. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with respect to or rights of the Clinical Business, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from the Clinical Business.

(e) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in (i) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company, and (ii) the investigation, whether internal or external, of any matters about which the Company believes the Executive may have knowledge or information. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims, actions or investigations shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to answer questions or to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 9(e).

(f) Relief. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the Continuing Obligations, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of the Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

(g) Reasonable Limitation and Severability. The parties agree that the above restrictions on competition are (i) appropriate and reasonable given the Executive’s role with and knowledge of the Company and Parent, and are necessary to protect the interests of the Company and Parent and (ii) completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has carefully considered the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 9, and acknowledges that if this Agreement is enforced according to its terms, the Executive will be able to earn a reasonable living in commercial activities unrelated to the business of the Company in locations satisfactory to the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 9 are a vital part of and are intrinsic to the ongoing operations of the Company, in light of the nature of the business of the Company and the unique position, skills and knowledge of the Executive with the Company. The parties further agree that

 

12


any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 9 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties hereby authorize the court to reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable and the parties intend that the affected provision be enforced as so amended. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the Executive has breached or is in breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 9(a) or (b), the Restricted Period shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the duration of such breach.

10. Stock Ownership Guidelines. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable stock ownership guidelines and/or policy of the Company shall not apply to the Executive following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason.

11. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of the Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Executive will sign the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “PIIA”), attached hereto as Exhibit B. . Nothing in or about this Agreement (including the PIIA), however, prohibits the Executive from: (a) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (b) providing any information about this Agreement to the SEC, or providing the SEC with information that would otherwise violate any section of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act, (c) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company or (d) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

12. Arbitration of Disputes.

(a) Arbitration Generally. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination or retaliation, whether based on race, religion, national origin, sex, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected class under applicable law) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of JAMS in Miami, Florida in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. The Executive understands that the Executive may only bring such claims in the Executive’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class proceeding or any purported representative proceeding.The Executive further understands that, by signing this Agreement, the Company and the Executive are giving up any right they may have to a jury trial on all claims they may have against each other. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 12 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate, including without limitation relief sought in connection with the Continuing Obligations; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 12.

 

13


(b) Arbitration Fees and Costs. Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any, in connection with any arbitration. If, however, any party prevails on a statutory or contractual claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees (including pursuant to this Agreement), the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party to the extent permitted by law.

13. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 12 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Florida. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.

14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Executive and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE EXECUTIVE’S OR THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE UNDER, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

15. Integration. This Agreement, the PIIA, and any other plans or programs referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.

16. Withholding; Tax Effect. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.

17. Successors and Assigns. None of the Executive, the Company or the Parent may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company or Parent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Continuing Obligations) without the Executive’s consent to any affiliate or to any person or entity with whom the Company or Parent shall hereafter effect a reorganization or consolidation, into which the Company or Parent merges or to whom it transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets; provided further that if the Executive remains employed or becomes employed by the Company, the purchaser or any of their affiliates in connection with any such transaction, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits or vesting pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement solely as a result of such transaction. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit

 

14


of and be binding upon the Executive, the Company and the Parent, and each of the Executive’s, the Company’s and the Parent’s respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. In the event of the Executive’s death after the Executive’s termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due to the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Executive’s death (or to the Executive’s estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).

18. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.

20. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

21. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company or the Parent, at their respective main offices, attention of the Board.

22. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company and the Parent.

23. Effect on Other Plans and Agreements. An election by the Executive to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any of the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights of the Executive under the Company’s or the Parent’s benefit plans, programs or policies except as otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof, and except that the Executive shall have no rights to any severance benefits under any Company or Parent severance pay plan, offer letter or otherwise. In the event that the Executive is party to an agreement with the Company or Parent providing for payments or benefits under such plan or agreement and under this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and the Executive may receive payment under this Agreement only and not both.

 

15


24. Governing Law. This is a Florida contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with the law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective on the Effective Date.

Exhibit A

Additional Duties in Connection with Medical Services (if Any)

In the event the Executive elects to provide the Medical Services pursuant to Section 1(b) of this Agreement, the Executive agrees to the following, solely to the extent applicable to the provision of Medical Services in the Practicing States (as defined below).

(a) Payor Arrangements.

(i) The Executive shall become and remain, while providing the Medical Services, a participating physician in Medicare, Medicaid and any other payor arrangements and any prepaid or managed care health care programs as are designated by the Company in the Practicing States for all Medical Services rendered by the Executive to patients who are covered under such programs.

(ii) The Executive hereby consents to the Company’s release of information regarding the Executive as requested by third party payers under managed care agreements entered into by the Company, which information must be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of such managed care agreements.

(iii) From time to time, the Company may enter into managed care or network agreements with third party payors, employers, or governmental entities that, among other things, may require the Company and/or the Executive to engage in utilization review or peer review activities. The Executive will fully cooperate in such activities and will comply with any and all reasonable requirements of any managed care or network agreement to which the Company becomes a party. If required by any managed care entity or network, the Executive will execute the agreement individually, notwithstanding that all fees generated by such agreement will belong to the Company.

(b) Patients and Records of the Company. Without superseding any patient’s right to choose a provider of health or medical services, the Executive acknowledges that all patients for whom the Medical Services are provided by the Executive shall be patients of the Company and not of the Executive. While providing the Medical Services, the Executive shall, whenever possible, refer patients to the Company and its affiliates and use the Company and its affiliates when a referral is called for, and the Executive shall not induce, solicit, or encourage any patient who has received or is receiving health or medical services from the Company or its affiliates to seek such services from another provider/supplier; provided, however, that such requirements shall be waived when: (a) the patient expresses a different choice; (b) the patient’s insurer determines the provider/supplier; or (c) the referral is not in the best medical interest of the patient in the Executive’s judgment. All medical, patient, business, financial, or other records, papers, and documents generated by the Executive, the Company, or employees or agents of the Company shall belong to the Company, and the Executive shall have no right to keep or retain such records, papers, or documents after this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that upon the request of the Executive after termination, the Company shall provide the Executive with copies of the patient records of patients treated by the Executive at the patient’s request or for such reasonable purposes as defending against professional liability claims.

 

17


(c) Additional Duties. The Executive’s duties with respect to the Medical Services shall also include the following:

(i) Complying with and abiding by any policies, procedures, rules, regulations, guidelines and requirements of the Company, as may be amended, promulgated or eliminated by the Company in its discretion from time to time.

(ii) Complying with any provision of state or federal law, and any regulation thereunder, now in effect or later adopted relating to the Medical Services to be provided under this Agreement and that are applicable to the Executive. The Executive also agrees to be bound by, and to follow, the provisions of the Company’s privacy policies and practices, as well as other state and federal privacy laws.

(iii) Preparing and maintaining, or causing to be prepared and maintained, necessary or appropriate reports, claims, correspondence and records as may be required by state and/or federal law or regulations and/or by Medicare and Medicaid intermediaries and carriers relating to the Medical Services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the Executive’s maintenance and retention of all records and reports will be such that the Company can comply with requests and requirements, as may be amended from time-to-time, of third party payers and other regulatory authorities including, but not limited to, Medicare, Blue Cross, the Comptroller General of the United States and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Executive’s responsibilities with respect to this subsection, other than the obligation to maintain applicable reports, claims, correspondence and records, will survive termination of the Executive’s employment. All such reports, claims, correspondence and records belong to the Company and shall be maintained and retained on the Company’s premises

(d) Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. During the provision of the Medical Services,

(i) The Executive will maintain a valid and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the states in which the Executive is licensed to practice medicine as of the Effective Date (such state(s), the “Practicing Sate(s)”) and is registered with such state agencies as may be required to carry out the duties hereunder and to practice as a physician in the field of medicine in such state(s).

(ii) The Executive has not been disciplined by any professional or peer review organization, governmental or medical staff for any action or omission based on quality of care.

(iii) The Executive has and will maintain a valid and unrestricted license or registration to prescribe drugs, medications, pharmaceuticals or controlled substances as required by the Practicing States.

 

18


(iv) The Executive is not currently subject to any type of criminal or civil sanction, fine, civil money penalty, debarment, or threatened with, any investigation, censure, probation, suspension, or other adverse action with respect to the Executive’s medical license in any Practicing State or with respect to the Executive’s medical staff privileges at any hospital, nursing home or other medical institution; that the Executive is not excluded from participation and is not otherwise ineligible to participate in a “Federal health care program” as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f) or in any other state or federal government payment program, including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE; and that the Executive, to his knowledge, is not currently under investigation with respect to his participation in such federal or state health care programs.

(v) With the exception of this Agreement, neither the Executive nor any immediate family member (as defined by 42 C.F.R. § 411.1 et seq. (the “Federal Stark Regulations”)) of the Executive, has any direct or indirect financial relationship (whether an ownership or investment interest, or a compensation arrangement, all as defined by the Federal Stark Regulations) with any entity (as defined by the Federal Stark Regulations) that provides for the furnishing of designated health services (as defined by the Federal Stark Regulations). The Executive shall notify the Company immediately, in writing, of any plans for such a financial relationship to be created, or in the case of immediate family members, as soon as the Executive has knowledge of the existence of or plan to create such a financial relationship.

Exhibit B

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that Cano Health, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Company”), and I (Dr. Richard Aguilar) have had since the commencement of my employment (which term, for purposes of this agreement, shall be deemed to include any relationship of service to Company that I may have had prior to actually becoming an employee) with Company in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Company:

1. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with Company. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Company in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.

2. Company shall own, and I hereby assign to Company, all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, sui generis database rights and all other intellectual property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information (collectively, “Inventions”) made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with Company (collectively, “Company Inventions”), and I will promptly disclose all Company Inventions to Company. The term “Company Inventions” will not include any Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by me for the Company. Without disclosing any third party confidential information, I will also disclose anything I believe is excluded by the foregoing so that Company can make an independent assessment. I shall further assist Company, at Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect the foregoing assignment and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my employment that relates to Company’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of the foregoing assignment, I have listed it on Appendix A in a manner that does not violate any third party rights or disclose any confidential information. Without limiting Section 1 or Company’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company, I use or (except pursuant to this Section 2) disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Company Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Company will have, and I hereby grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights.

3. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.

4. I agree that all Company Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment that relate to Company or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon termination of my employment, I will promptly return to Company all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to shareholders generally and (iii) this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.

5. I agree that during the term of my employment with Company (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business of Company, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company.

6. I agree that this Agreement is not an employment contract for any particular term and that I have the right to resign and Company has the right to terminate my employment at will, at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Company, I have obligations to Company which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by the Chief Executive Officer of Company.

7. I agree that my obligations under paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and that Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Company, its subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

8. Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. This Agreement is fully assignable and transferable by Company, but any purported assignment or transfer by me is void. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies and without any requirement to post bond.

9. Pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I acknowledge receipt of the following notice: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.” I further understand that nothing contained in this Agreement limits my ability to (A) communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, including to provide documents or other information, without notice to Company, or (B) share compensation information concerning myself or others, except that this does not permit me to disclose compensation information concerning others that I obtain because my job responsibilities require or allow access to such information.

10. Nothing in or about this Agreement prohibits me from: (i) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) providing Proprietary Information or information about this Agreement to the SEC, or providing the SEC with information that would otherwise violate any section of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act, (iii) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company or (iv) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act.
