Explanatory Note

 

As previously disclosed, during the Company’s preparation of its financial statements for the third fiscal quarter ended December 2, 2023, the Company’s management preliminarily identified a misapplication of U.S. GAAP relating to the Company’s methodology of recording provisional closed store charges (the “Misapplication”), prompting the need for further analysis under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 420. The Company’s management has preliminarily determined that the impact of the Misapplication on previously issued financial statements is not material and is still evaluating the impact on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR” and, such review, the “Ongoing Review”). The resolution of this matter may result in the Company filing amendments to its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 4, 2023 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 3, 2023 and September 2, 2023, respectively. In addition, the Ongoing Review has delayed the filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 2, 2023 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”). The Company’s management has discussed this matter with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result of the Ongoing Review, although the consummation of the sale of the Elixir Assets (as defined below) by the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries is considered a significant disposition and requires the presentation of pro forma financial information of the Company in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to give effect to such disposition, the Company is not able to provide the required pro forma financial information at this time.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on October 16, 2023, Hunter Lane, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and certain of Hunter Lane, LLC’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Elixir Stalking Horse APA”) with MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc. (“MedImpact”), pursuant to which MedImpact agreed to serve as the “stalking horse bidder” in a court-supervised sale process under Section 363 of Title 11 of the United States Code to acquire the Company’s pharmacy benefit manager business (such business, the Elixir Business,” the assets of the Elixir Business, the Elixir Assets,” and the sale thereof, the “Elixir Sale Transaction”).

 

In connection with the foregoing, on November 16, 2023, the Company filed a motion (the “Seller Financing Motion”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking approval to provide seller financing to MedImpact to fund a substantial portion of the purchase price of the Elixir Sale Transaction (the “Seller Financing”). On December 19, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Seller Financing in a bench ruling and on December 20, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a written order approving the Seller Financing and authorizing the Company’s entry into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2023, by and between MI OpCo Holdings, Inc., as borrower thereunder, MI OpOco H2, LLC, as a guarantor thereunder, the other subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders and the other L/C issuers from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing-line lender and L/C issuer (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

 

On February 1, 2024, upon the satisfaction of the conditions to closing, the Sellers and MedImpact consummated the Elixir Sale Transaction as contemplated by the Elixir Stalking Horse APA, thereby completing the disposition of substantially all of the Elixir Assets. In connection with consummation of the Elixir Sale Transaction, the Sellers received Term Loans (as defined in the Elixir Stalking Horse APA) pursuant to the Seller Financing in the aggregate principal amount, after giving effect to customary working capital calculations, equal to $567.382 million, and cash in an aggregate amount equal to $43.125 million. An additional $14.375 million will be held in escrow, subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments in accordance with customary working capital calculations. The proceeds of the Elixir Sale Transaction are assets of the Sellers’ bankruptcy estates, and will be used to provide recoveries to the Company’s stakeholders in connection with and pursuant to the Company’s chapter 11 process and the proposed plan of reorganization.

 

Additionally, upon the occurrence of the closing of the Elixir Sale Transaction and the Seller Financing, on February 1, 2024, the Company entered into (x) that certain Collateral Assignment of Financing Documents (the “DIP ABL Collateral Assignment”), by and between the Company, as assignor, and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as collateral agent for each of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in that certain DIP ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2023, as amended from time to time, by and among the Company, the lenders thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder (the “DIP ABL Credit Agreement”)), as assignee (in such capacity, the “Assignee”), and (y) that certain Collateral Assignment of Financing Documents (the “DIP Term Loan Collateral Assignment”), by and among the Company, as assignor, and the Assignee, in its capacity as collateral agent for each of the Secured Parties (as defined in that certain DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 18, 2023, as amended from time to time, by and among the Company, the lenders thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder (the “DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement”)) (the “DIP Term Loan Collateral Assignment”). Pursuant to each of the DIP ABL Collateral Assignment and the DIP Term Loan Collateral Assignment, the Company, in connection with the Elixir Sale Transaction, collaterally assigned all of its rights arising under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the other seller financing documentation to the Assignee, for the ratable benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the DIP ABL Credit Agreement) and the Secured Parties (as defined in the DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement), as applicable, as collateral security for the Senior Loan Obligations (as defined in the DIP ABL Credit Agreement) and the Obligations (as defined in the DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement), as applicable.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Elixir Stalking Horse APA, including the transactions contemplated thereby, is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Elixir Stalking Horse APA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
