PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF R1 RCM INC.

PROSPECTUS FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF PROJECT ROADRUNNER PARENT INC.,

THE CONTINUING ENTITY FOLLOWING THE HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION,

WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “R1 RCM INC.” IN CONNECTION WITH

THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN

 

 

The board of directors (the “R1 Board”) of R1 RCM Inc., a Delaware corporation (“R1”), has unanimously approved the transactions contemplated by that certain Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 2022 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among R1, Project Roadrunner Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of R1 (“New R1”), Project Roadrunner Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1 (“R1 Merger Sub”), Revint Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cloudmed”), CoyCo 1, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CoyCo 1”), CoyCo 2., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CoyCo 2”, and together with CoyCo 1, the “Sellers”), and, solely for certain purposes set forth therein, NMC Ranger Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, in addition to the election of directors and ratification of R1’s auditors, R1’s stockholders are being asked to consider a vote upon each of the Stock Issuance Proposal (as defined herein) and the Authorized Share Increase Proposal (as defined herein).

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, R1 has agreed to acquire Cloudmed and affiliated entities through (i) a merger of R1 Merger Sub with and into R1 with R1 as the surviving entity, which will result in R1 becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1 (the “Holding Company Reorganization”) and (ii) the Sellers contributing 100% of the equity of Cloudmed Blocker Parent, L.L.C., which will be the parent company of Cloudmed as of the Closing Date (as defined herein), in exchange for 138,400,874 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of New R1 (“New R1 Common Stock”), (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement) or approximately 30% of the fully diluted shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of R1 (“R1 Common Stock”) as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions (as defined below) (the “Contribution”, and together with the Holding Company Reorganization, the “Transactions”).

In connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, on the date the Transactions are consummated (the “Closing Date”), each issued and outstanding share of R1 Common Stock will, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one share of New R1 Common Stock. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for New R1 Common Stock. On April 6, 2022, 279,397,653 shares of R1 Common Stock were outstanding. Upon completion of the Transactions, all shares of R1 Common Stock will be cancelled. New R1 intends to apply to list the New R1 Common Stock, as successor to R1, on The Nasdaq Global Select Market and, upon the completion of the Transactions, the New R1 Common Stock will trade under the symbol under which R1 Common Stock currently trades, “RCM.” It is a condition to the consummation of the Transactions that the New R1 Common Stock shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Transactions will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Transaction Agreement is waived by the applicable parties. Any outstanding warrants to purchase shares of R1 Common Stock (the “R1 Warrants”) will, on the Closing Date, be automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of New R1 Common Stock with substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the R1 Warrants prior to the Closing Date in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization.

In addition, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Transaction Agreement, on the Closing Date, each equity-based award of R1 outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing Date will be exchanged for a comparable equity-based award that represents or relates to shares of New R1 Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as applied to such equity award prior to the Closing Date.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Transactions, (i) the former stockholders of R1, including TCP-ASC ACHI Series LLLP, a limited liability partnership jointly owned by Ascension Health Alliance and investment funds affiliated with TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P., will collectively own approximately 70% of the New R1 Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and (ii) the Sellers, which are entities affiliated with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., will collectively own approximately 30% of the New R1 Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers up to 332,877,963 shares of New R1 Common Stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of the R1 Warrants and equity-based awards described above) to be issued in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization. The number of shares of New R1 Common Stock that this proxy statement/prospectus covers represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued to holders of shares, R1 Warrants and equity-based awards of R1 in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization (as more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus).

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides stockholders of R1 with detailed information about the Transactions and other matters to be considered at the annual meeting of stockholders of R1. R1 encourages you to read the entire 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 the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

 

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is dated                 , 2022

and is first being mailed to R1’s stockholders on or about                 , 2022.

R1 RCM INC.

A Delaware Corporation

434 W. Ascension Way

6th Floor

Murray, UT 84123

NOTICE OF 2022 R1 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 26, 2022

Dear R1 RCM Inc. Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 R1 Annual Meeting”) of R1 RCM Inc., a Delaware corporation (“R1”), at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time on May 26, 2022. The 2022 R1 Annual Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RCM2022 or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. The 2022 R1 Annual Meeting will be held for the following purposes:

Proposal No. 1—Election of Directors—to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect the eleven nominees for director named in this proxy statement/prospectus, each for a term ending at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of R1, and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified (the “Election of Directors Proposal”);

Proposal No. 2—Stock Issuance Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of shares of common stock of Project Roadrunner Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of R1 (“New R1”, and such common stock, the “New R1 Common Stock”) to CoyCo 1, L.P. and CoyCo 2, L.P., pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”);

Proposal No. 3—The Authorized Share Increase Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an increase in the authorized share capital of R1 from 500,000,000 shares of common stock of R1 (“R1 Common Stock”) to 750,000,000 shares of R1 Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase Proposal”);

Proposal No. 4—Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm—to consider and vote upon a proposal to ratify the selection by the audit committee of the board of directors of R1 (the “R1 Board”) of Ernst & Young LLP as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and

Proposal No. 5—The Adjournment Proposal—to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the 2022 R1 Annual 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 2022 R1 Annual Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal is required for completion of the Transactions (as defined herein). None of the other proposals to be considered at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting is a condition to the obligation of the parties to complete the Transactions and no proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of any other.

These items of business are described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which you are encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of R1 Common Stock at the close of business on April 6, 2022 (the “R1 Record Date”) are entitled to receive this notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and any adjournment of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.


Table of Contents

This proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card are being provided to R1’s stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and at any adjournment of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, all of R1s stockholders are urged to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in the section titled Risk Factors beginning on page 24 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the R1 Board has unanimously approved the Transactions and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” all proposals presented to R1’s stockholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the R1 Board, you should keep in mind that R1’s directors and officers have interests in the Transactions that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section titled “Interests of R1’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The Transaction Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Transaction Agreement would waive any such provision of the Transaction Agreement.

If a quorum is present, the vote required to approve each of the proposals is as follows:

 

   

With respect to the Election of Directors Proposal, the nominees for directors receiving a plurality of the votes cast by holders of R1 Common Stock represented at the meeting shall be elected to the R1 Board. With respect to this proposal, you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to any or all director nominees.

 

   

With respect to the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all shares of R1 Common Stock represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter is required for approval. With respect to these proposals, abstentions are not counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval and, accordingly, have no effect on the outcome of voting on such proposals.

 

   

With respect to the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock is required for approval. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Authorized Share Increase Proposal.

If your broker holds your shares in its name and does not receive voting instructions from you, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. In the case of non-discretionary items, the shares for which your broker receives no instruction from you will be treated as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter. The Auditor Ratification Proposal is a discretionary item under these rules, and accordingly, your bank or brokerage firm will be able to vote your shares even if you do not give instructions on how to do so. The Election of Directors Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Authorized Share Increase Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are “non-discretionary” items. Thus, if you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote on these proposals, your shares may constitute broker non-votes with respect to such proposals and no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to such proposals. Broker non-votes will not affect the required vote with respect to the Election of Directors Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal but will be counted as a vote “AGAINST” with respect to the Authorized Share Increase Proposal. Broker non-votes will not affect the attainment of a quorum since the broker has discretion to vote on the Auditor Ratification Proposal and these votes will be counted toward establishing a quorum.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the 2022 R1 Annual 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 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement will be consummated only if the Stock Issuance Proposal is approved at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. None of the proposals are cross-conditioned on the approval of any other.

The 2022 R1 Annual Meeting will be held as a virtual meeting and can be accessed at this website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RCM2022. You will be able to submit questions and vote your shares electronically during the meeting by logging in using the control number printed on your proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials. We recommend that you log in at least fifteen minutes in advance of the meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the meeting starts.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the R1 Board. If you fail to return your proxy card, and do not attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and vote electronically, 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 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and will not be voted. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and wish to vote electronically, you may withdraw your proxy and vote electronically.

Your attention is directed to the remainder of the proxy statement/prospectus following this notice (including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein) for a more complete description of the proposed Transactions and each of the proposals.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONS

AND THE 2022 R1 ANNUAL MEETING

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the Transactions, and matters to be addressed at the annual meeting (the “2022 R1 Annual Meeting”) of stockholders of R1 RCM Inc. (“R1”). These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to R1 stockholders. Please refer to the section titled “Prospectus Summary” beginning on page 14 of this proxy statement/prospectus and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus and the documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus, which you should read carefully and in their entirety. You may obtain the information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus without charge by following the instructions under the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 224 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:    What is the purpose of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    At the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the following matters:

 

   

Elect the 11 nominees for director named in this proxy statement, each for a term ending at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified;

 

   

Approve the issuance of shares of common stock of New R1 Common Stock (as defined below) to the Sellers (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement (as defined below);

 

   

Approve a change in the authorized share capital of R1 from 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 of R1 (“R1 Common Stock”) to 750,000,000 shares of R1 Common Stock;

 

   

Ratify the selection by the audit committee of Ernst & Young LLP as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and

 

   

Approve the adjournment of the 2022 R1 Annual 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 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

Q:    What shares will be entitled to vote at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    Our voting securities consist of common stock, of which approximately 279,397,653 shares (excluding any treasury shares) were outstanding on April 6, 2022, (the “R1 Record Date”). Holders of record of R1 Common Stock may vote on each proposal that comes before the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

Q:    What are the proposed Transactions?

A:    R1 has agreed to acquire Cloudmed, a leader in revenue intelligence solutions for healthcare providers under the terms of the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 2022, by and among R1, Project Roadrunner Parent Inc. (“New R1”), Project Roadrunner Merger Sub Inc. (“R1 Merger Sub”), Revint Holdings, LLC (“Cloudmed”), CoyCo 1, L.P. (“CoyCo 1”), CoyCo 2, L.P. (“CoyCo 2” and, together with CoyCo 1, the “Sellers”), and, solely for certain purposes set forth therein, NMC Ranger Holdings, LLC, as it may be amended from time to time, (the “Transaction Agreement”) that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If R1 stockholders approve the proposal to issue shares of New R1 common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“New R1 Common Stock”), to the Sellers in connection with the Contribution (as defined below) (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), and the other conditions to closing under the Transaction Agreement are satisfied or waived, (i) R1 Merger Sub will merge with and into R1, with R1 surviving, which will result in R1 becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1 (the “Holding Company Reorganization”) and (ii) the Sellers will contribute 100% of the equity of Cloudmed Blocker Parent, L.L.C. (“Cloudmed Parent”), which will be the parent company of Cloudmed as of the date of the closing of the Transactions (as defined below) (such date, the “Closing Date”), to New R1 in exchange for shares of New R1 Common Stock equal to approximately 30% of the fully diluted shares of R1 Common Stock as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect


Table of Contents

to the Transactions, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Contribution”, and together with the Holding Company Reorganization, the “Transactions”).

As a result of the Holding Company Reorganization, each share of R1 Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization will automatically be exchanged into an equivalent corresponding share of New R1 Common Stock, having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the corresponding shares of R1 Common Stock being converted. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, R1’s current stockholders will become stockholders of New R1. Any outstanding warrants to purchase shares of R1 Common Stock (the “R1 Warrants”) will, on the Closing Date, be automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of New R1 Common Stock with substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the R1 Warrants prior to the Closing Date (the “New R1 Warrants”) in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization. In addition, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Transaction Agreement, on the Closing Date, each equity-based award of R1 outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing Date will be exchanged for a comparable equity-based award that represents or relates to shares of New R1 Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as applied to such equity award prior to the Closing Date.

Furthermore, the conversion will occur automatically without an exchange of stock certificates. Stock certificates previously representing shares of R1 Common Stock will represent the same number of shares of New R1 Common Stock after the Holding Company Reorganization. Each person entered as the owner in a book entry that, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, represented any outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock will be deemed to have received an equivalent number of shares of New R1 Common Stock. Following the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the name of New R1 will be changed to “R1 RCM Inc.,” the name of R1 will be changed to “R1 RCM Holdco Inc.” (or such other name as R1 determines prior to closing) and shares of New R1 Common Stock will trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under R1’s symbol “RCM.”

Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the directors and officers of New R1 will be the same individuals who are the directors and officers of R1 immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization.

The Holding Company Reorganization will be conducted pursuant to Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), which provides for the formation of a holding company through a merger without a vote of the stockholders of the constituent corporations. Effective upon the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, New R1 will adopt an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that contain provisions identical to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of R1 as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, except for the change of the name of the corporation as permitted by Section 251(g) and any other changes required or permitted by Section 251(g).

Q:    Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A:    This proxy statement/prospectus serves as a proxy statement for the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, through which R1 will solicit proxies for (i) the election of eleven members of the R1 board of directors (the “R1 Board”) for a one-year term (the “Director Election Proposal”), (ii) the approval, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, of the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), (iii) an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of R1 to increase the number of authorized shares of R1 Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Increase Proposal”), (iv) the annual ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2022 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”) and (v) approval of the adjournment of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting

to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies (the “Adjournment Proposal”). This proxy statement/prospectus, including its annexes, contains important information about the Transactions and the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. R1 stockholders should read this information carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed voting materials allow R1 stockholders to vote their shares without attending the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting in person.

This proxy statement/prospectus, which forms part of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by New R1, also constitutes a prospectus of New R1 for the shares of New R1 Common Stock to be issued to existing R1 stockholders in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.

Q:    Does my vote matter?

A:    Your vote is important regardless of how many shares you own. Please take the time to read the instructions below and vote. Choose the method of voting that is easiest and most convenient for you and please cast your vote as soon as possible.

The Transactions cannot be completed unless R1 stockholders approve the Stock Issuance Proposal. Approval of the Authorized Share Increase Proposal or any other proposal is not a condition to completion of the Transactions. For more information, see the sections titled “The Transactions”, “Proposal 2—The Stock Issuance Proposal”, and “Proposal 3—The Authorized Share Increase Proposal” beginning on pages 60, 217 and 218, respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus.

If holders of R1 Common Stock fail to submit a valid proxy or vote electronically at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, or vote to abstain, or do not provide their bank, brokerage firm or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, this will not have an effect on the vote to approve the Election of Directors Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. The R1 Board recommends that R1 stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Election of Directors Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Because the affirmative vote required to approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal is based on the total number of shares of outstanding R1 Common Stock, if you hold shares of R1 Common Stock and you fail to submit a valid proxy or vote electronically at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, or vote to abstain, or you do not provide your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, this will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Authorized Share Increase Proposal. The R1 Board recommends that R1 stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Authorized Share Increase Proposal.

Q:    What is the vote required to approve each proposal at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    Each share of R1 Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Shares will not be voted in favor of a matter, and will not be counted as voting on a particular matter, if either (1) the holder of the shares abstains from voting on the matter or (2) the shares are broker non-votes, as described below.

Approval Requirements. If a quorum is present, the vote required to approve each of the proposals is as follows. All votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting.

 

   

With respect to Proposal 1, the nominees for directors receiving a plurality of the votes cast by holders of R1’s common stock represented at the meeting, shall be elected to the R1 Board. With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to any or all director nominees.

 

   

With respect to Proposals 2, 4 and 5, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all shares of common stock represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter is required for approval. For Proposals 2, 4 and 5, abstentions are not counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval and, accordingly, have no effect on the outcome of voting on such proposals.

Table of Contents
   

With respect to Proposal 3, the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock is required for approval. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 3.

Broker Non-votes. If your broker holds your shares in its name and does not receive voting instructions from you, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. In the case of non-discretionary items, the shares for which your broker receives no instruction from you will be treated as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter. Proposal 4 is a discretionary item under these rules, and accordingly, your bank or brokerage firm will be able to vote your shares even if you do not give instructions on how to do so. Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 5 are “non-discretionary” items. Thus, if you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote in Proposal 1, 2, 3 and/or 5, your shares may constitute broker non-votes with respect to such proposal and no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to such proposal.

Broker non-votes will not affect the required vote with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 5 (and will not affect the attainment of a quorum since the broker has discretion to vote on Proposal 4 and these votes will be counted toward establishing a quorum). Broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” in the case of Proposal 3.

Q:    Are there any stockholders who have already committed to voting in favor of any of the proposals?

A:    Yes. Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, R1, TCP-ASC ACHI Series LLLP, a Delaware limited liability limited partnership (“TCP-ASC”), and Cloudmed entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, TCP-ASC agreed to not transfer its shares of R1 Common Stock or any shares of R1 Common Stock or other voting securities of R1 that TCP-ASC acquires, including upon exercise of its R1 Warrant (the “Covered Shares”), and to vote the Covered Shares (i) in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal, (ii) in favor of the Transactions (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), (iii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of R1 stockholders to a later date made in accordance with the Transaction Agreement, or (iv) against any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the Stock Issuance Proposal and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. As of January 9, 2022, the shares of R1 Common Stock held by TCP-ASC represented approximately 50.1% of the total outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock. For more information, please see the section titled “The Transactions.”

Q:    Why are R1 stockholders being asked to approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal? What will happen if R1 stockholders do not approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal?

A:    R1 is seeking the approval of R1 stockholders to increase the number of shares authorized to be issued under R1’s certificate of incorporation. Increasing the number of shares authorized to be issued will ensure there are a sufficient number of authorized shares to preserve flexibility for the R1 Board to approve and issue additional shares in connection with potential future acquisitions and/or employee equity grants. If the R1 stockholders do not approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, R1 will still have a sufficient number of authorized shares to issue the shares issuable in connection with the Transactions, as well as to holders of all currently outstanding equity-based awards and warrants.

Approval of the Authorized Share Increase Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Transactions. If the R1 stockholders do not approve the Authorized Share Increase Proposal and the conditions to completion of the Transactions are satisfied or waived, as applicable, R1, Cloudmed and the other parties to the Transactions will be obligated to complete the Transactions.

Table of Contents

Q:    What will the composition of the Board of Directors and management of R1 be following completion of the Transactions?

A:    Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the directors and officers of New R1 will be the same individuals who are the directors and officers of R1 immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, New R1 and the Sellers will enter into an investor rights agreement (the “Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement”). Under the terms of the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as the Sellers maintain certain specified ownership thresholds, the Sellers will be entitled to nominate three individuals to the board of directors of New R1 (the “New R1 Board”) (collectively, the “Seller Designees”). The Seller Designees are expected to be appointed to the New R1 Board promptly following the closing. See the description of the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement in the section titled “The Transactions” beginning on page 60 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Additionally, subject to applicable law and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (or other United States national securities exchange that New R1 Common Stock is listed upon, if any), New R1 will offer one Seller Designee (to be selected by the Sellers) an opportunity to, at the Sellers’ option, either sit on each regular committee of the New R1 Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer.

It is also expected that, in connection with the closing of the Transactions, the current chief executive officer of Cloudmed, Lee Rivas, will be appointed as president of New R1. Mr. Rivas’ compensation and other terms of his employment with New R1 have not yet been determined. Other than Mr. Rivas’ appointment, no other changes to R1’s management are currently expected to occur as a result of the Transactions.

In addition, following the completion of the Transactions, Mr. Rivas will hold an equity interest in one of the Sellers and, accordingly, an indirect interest in New R1, which he will receive as consideration for his existing equity interest in Cloudmed.

Separate and apart from the above, R1’s stockholders are being asked at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting to vote on the election of eleven directors to the R1 Board for a one-year term. If elected, these directors will serve from the date of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting for a term ending at the 2023 Annual Meeting, and until his or her successor has been duly elected or qualified.

Q:    How does the R1 Board recommend that R1 stockholders vote?

A:    The R1 Board unanimously recommends that R1 stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the director nominees listed herein, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:     Do any of the officers or directors of R1 have interests in the Transactions that may differ from or be in addition to my interests as an R1 stockholder?

A:    Yes. In considering the recommendation of the R1 Board that R1 stockholders vote to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal, R1 stockholders should be aware that R1’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Transactions that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of R1 stockholders generally. The R1 Board was aware of and considered these differing interests, to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions, and in unanimously recommending that R1 stockholders vote to approve the Stock Issuance Proposal. See the section titled “Interests of R1’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” beginning on page 115 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:    What will the Sellers receive if the Contribution is completed?

A:    If the Contribution is completed, and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution as described below, each Seller will receive its pro rata share of

 

5


Table of Contents

138,400,874 shares of New R1 Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement) (the “Consideration”), which represents approximately 33.2% of the outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, and approximately 30% of the number of fully diluted shares of R1 Common Stock as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions.

The adjustments to the numbers of shares that will be issued to the Sellers will not be known until the consummation of the Contribution, and then will be finalized during an approximately 90-day period thereafter. The number of shares will be adjusted based on (i) Cloudmed’s net debt as of closing, (ii) R1’s and Cloudmed’s transaction expenses, (iii) certain share issuances by R1 between signing and closing, (iv) certain cash payments to be made with respect to existing Cloudmed equity awards and (v) the number of unvested Cloudmed restricted units cancelled and replaced with restricted stock units of New R1 issued pursuant to New R1’s equity incentive plan. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $                 on                 , 2022, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, if all of the eligible Cloudmed restricted units are cancelled and replaced with restricted stock units of R1, then                  restricted stock units of New R1 will be issued as replacement awards and                  million shares of New R1 Common Stock will be issued to the Sellers upon consummation of the Contribution, subject to the other adjustments described in the preceding sentence. As a result, based on the 279,397,653 shares of R1 Common Stock outstanding on April 6, 2022, a total of approximately                  shares of New R1 Common Stock would be outstanding after the Contribution and the Sellers would hold, in the aggregate, approximately                 % of the outstanding shares of New R1 Common Stock immediately after the closing of the Contribution. See the section titled “The Transactions” beginning on page 60 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:    What is the value of the Consideration?

A:    Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $23.35 on January 7, 2022, the last trading day before public announcement of the Transaction Agreement, and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied equity value of approximately $3.23 billion. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $                 on                 , 2022, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied value of approximately $                . The implied value of the Consideration will fluctuate with the market price of R1 Common Stock. R1 Common Stock is currently traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RCM.” You are encouraged to obtain current market quotes for R1 Common Stock before you determine how to vote on the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 224 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:    When do you expect the Transactions to be completed?

A:    Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions described under the section titled “The Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger beginning on page 97 of this proxy statement/prospectus, including the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal by R1 stockholders at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, R1 expects that the transactions will be completed during the second quarter of 2022. However, it is possible that factors outside R1’s control could result in the Transactions being completed at a different time or not at all.

Q:    What are the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization to R1 stockholders?

A:    Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization,” the exchange of R1 Common Stock for shares of New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, taken together with the Contribution, is

Q:    What are the conditions to completion of the Transactions?

A:    In addition to the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal by R1 stockholders, completion of the Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of a number of other conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of New R1 Common Stock, the accuracy of R1’s and Cloudmed’s respective representations and warranties under the Transaction Agreement (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and R1’s and Cloudmed’s performance of their respective obligations under the Transaction Agreement.

A:    The 2022 R1 Annual Meeting will be held on May 26, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time, via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RCM2022. If you plan to attend the meeting, you must log in using the control number printed on your proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials. We recommend that you log in at least fifteen minutes in advance of the meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the meeting starts. For additional information about the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, see “Prospectus Summary—Information about the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting” beginning on page 19 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:    Why is the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting virtual only?

A:    We have been hosting virtual only annual meetings since 2017, as we believe hosting a virtual meeting makes it easy for our shareholders to participate from any location around the world. We are excited to embrace the latest technology to provide ease of access, real-time communication, and cost savings for our stockholders and R1.

Q:    How can I participate at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    If you are a stockholder as of the Record Date and have logged in using your control number, you may submit a question at any point during the meeting (until the floor is closed to questions) by typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” Stockholder questions or comments are welcome, but we will only answer questions pertinent to 2022 R1 Annual Meeting matters, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding personal matters and statements of advocacy are not pertinent to 2022 R1 Annual Meeting matters and therefore will not be addressed. Questions or comments that are substantially similar may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition. The audio broadcast of the R1 Annual Meeting will be archived at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RCM2022 for at least one year.

Q:     What if I run into technical issues while trying to access the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    The virtual meeting platform is supported across browsers and devices running the most updated version of applicable software and plug-ins. Participants should give themselves plenty of time to log in and ensure they have a strong internet connection and they can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the meeting.

If you encounter technical difficulties with the virtual meeting platform on the meeting day, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the meeting website. Technical support will be available starting at 8:15 a.m. Mountain Time and until the end of the meeting.

Q:    What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A:    If your shares of R1 Common Stock are registered directly in your name with the transfer agent of R1, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote or to grant a proxy for your vote directly to R1, or to a third party to vote at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee will send you, as the beneficial owner, a package describing the procedure for voting your shares. You should follow the instructions provided by them to vote your shares. You will only be able to ask questions and vote your shares electronically at the meeting if you log in using the control number printed on your proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials.

Q:    If my shares of R1 Common Stock are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me?

A:    No. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” You are not the “record holder” of such shares. If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus has been forwarded to you by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals if you have not provided voting instructions. However, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee is precluded from exercising voting discretion with respect to non-routine matters. The Auditor Ratification Proposal is a routine matter, and your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may vote your shares with respect to this proposal even if you do not provide voting instructions. This is often called a “broker non-vote.” All of the other proposals to be voted on by R1 stockholders are non-routine matters. As a result, if you do not provide voting instructions with respect to these proposals, your shares will not be voted.

You should therefore provide your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee with instructions as to how to vote your shares of R1 Common Stock.

Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee so that it may vote your shares on your behalf. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to R1.

Q:    What constitutes a quorum for the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    In order for business to be conducted at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present. For all the matters that are voted upon at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, a quorum consists of the holders of a majority of the R1 Common Stock, issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present or represented by proxy. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

Shares of R1 Common Stock present or represented by proxy (including broker non-votes and shares that abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters to be voted upon) will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists.

If a quorum is not present, the meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

Q:    How do R1 stockholders vote?

A:    Stockholder of Record. If you are an R1 stockholder of record, you may have your shares of R1 Common Stock voted on the matters to be presented at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting in any of the following ways:

 

   

by telephone or over the internet, by accessing the telephone number or internet website specified on the enclosed proxy card. The control number provided on your proxy card is designed to verify your identity when voting by telephone or by internet. Proxies delivered over the internet or by telephone must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 25, 2022. Please be aware that if you vote by telephone or over the internet, you may incur costs such as telephone and internet access charges for which you will be responsible;

 

   

by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope; or

 

   

electronically—you may attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RCM2022 using the control number printed on your proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials and cast your vote there.

Beneficial owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please refer to the instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to see which of the above choices are available to you. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote electronically at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, you must log into the meeting platform using the control number printed on your proxy card or voting instruction form accompanying these proxy materials.

Q:    How can I change or revoke my vote?

A:    You have the right to revoke a proxy, whether delivered over the internet, by telephone or by mail, at any time before it is exercised, by voting again at a later date through any of the methods available to you, by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, by attending the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and voting electronically or by giving written notice of revocation to R1 prior to the time the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting begins. Written notice of revocation should be mailed to: R1’s Corporate Secretary at 434 W. Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah, 84123. If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, you may revoke your proxy by following the directions received from your bank, broker or other nominee to change those instructions.

Q:    If a stockholder gives a proxy, how are the shares of R1 Common Stock voted?

A:    Regardless of the method you choose to vote, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your shares of R1 Common Stock in the way that you indicate. When completing the internet or telephone processes or the proxy card, you may specify whether your shares of R1 Common Stock should be voted “FOR,” “AGAINST,” “WITHHOLD” or to “ABSTAIN,” as applicable, from voting on all, some or none of the specific items of business to come before the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

If you properly sign your proxy card but do not mark the boxes showing how your shares of R1 Common Stock should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly signed proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the nominees to the R1 Board, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:     Can I access the proxy materials electronically?

A:    Yes. Our proxy materials are available at http://www.r1rcm.com/proxy.

Q:    What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:    You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus, the proxy card or the voting instruction form. This can occur if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, if you hold shares directly as a holder of record and also in “street name,” or otherwise through another holder of record, and in certain other circumstances. If you receive more than one set of voting materials, please vote or return each set separately in order to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Q:    What happens if I sell my shares of R1 Common Stock before the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting?

A:    The R1 Record Date is earlier than the date of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. If you transfer your shares of R1 Common Stock after the R1 Record Date but before the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, you will, unless the transferee requests a proxy from you, retain your right to vote at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

Q:    Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A:     We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and employees may, without additional pay, solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, e-mail and in person. We will also request brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy materials to

Q:    What do I need to do now?

A:    Even if you plan to attend the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting virtually, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please vote promptly to ensure that your shares are represented at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting.

Q:    How can I communicate with the R1 Board?

A:    The R1 Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. The chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee, with the assistance of R1’s senior management, is primarily responsible for monitoring and responding to communications from stockholders and other interested parties and for providing copies or summaries of communications to the other directors, as he considers appropriate.

All communications are forwarded to the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee and to the chair of another committee of the board of directors, if the communication was addressed to the attention of another committee of the board of directors. The chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee, and, in the case of communications to be addressed by another committee of the board of directors, in consultation with the chair of that committee, shall decide in each case whether any particular communication should be forwarded to some or all other members of the board of directors.

R1’s stockholders may send communications to the R1 Board by forwarding them addressed to R1’s corporate secretary, the R1 Board or, in the case of matters concerning accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing, the R1 Board’s audit committee, at the above address.

Q:    How can I recommend a candidate for the R1 Board?

A:    Stockholders may recommend director candidates for consideration by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the R1 Board by submitting the stockholder’s name, address and number of shares of stock held, as well as any other information required by the bylaws and the candidate’s name, age, address and resume to R1’s corporate secretary at the address below.

The Transactions

In connection with a reorganization of its holding company structure, and to complete the acquisition of Cloudmed, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and Section 251(g) of the DGCL, R1 has formed New R1, and New R1 has formed R1 Merger Sub.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions specified in the Transaction Agreement, R1 Merger Sub will merge with and into R1 with R1 as the surviving entity. As a result, R1 will, by operation of law, become a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1, after which R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Holdco Inc.” (or such other name as R1 determines prior to closing) and New R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Inc.” The officers and directors of New R1 as of immediately after consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization will be the same as the officers and directors of R1 immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization.

Table of Contents

Holding Company Reorganization (other than with respect to its name) until thereafter changed or amended as provided by the bylaws or applicable law. Each share of R1 Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization will be converted into one share of New R1 Common Stock. New R1 Common Stock will be listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market and will trade under R1’s current ticker symbol “RCM.”

Immediately following the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization and upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Transactions specified in the Transaction Agreement, the Sellers will contribute 100% of the equity of Cloudmed Parent in exchange for shares of New R1 Common Stock equal to approximately 30% of the fully diluted shares of R1 Common Stock as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement.

Consideration for the Contribution

The consideration payable by New R1 to Cloudmed at the closing of the Contribution will consist of approximately 138,400,874 shares of New R1 Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $23.35 on January 7, 2022, the last trading day before public announcement of the Transaction Agreement, and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied equity value of Cloudmed of approximately $3.23 billion. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $                 on                 , 2022, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied value of approximately $                . The implied value of the Consideration will fluctuate with the market price of R1 Common Stock. As a result of the Contribution, Cloudmed will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1.

Conditions to Completion of the Transactions

Each party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by each of the parties, on or prior to the closing date, of various conditions, which include, among others, the following:

 

   

Requisite Regulatory Approvals - (i) all waiting periods (and extensions thereof) under the HSR Act relating to the Transactions will have expired or been terminated and (ii) the European Commission will have issued a decision declaring the Transactions or the relevant part of the Transactions compatible with the common market.

 

   

No Injunctions or Restraints - no provision of any applicable law, and no judgment, injunction, order or decree (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of, or proceeding initiated by, any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, will be in effect which prevents, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Transactions.

 

   

Registration Statement Effectiveness - the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will have been declared effective by the SEC.

 

   

Requisite Vote - holders of a majority of the shares of R1 Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting shall have approved the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers in the Transactions.

Recommendation of the R1 Board; R1’s Reasons for the Transaction

On January 9, 2022, the R1 Board unanimously approved the Transaction Agreement and the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers in connection with the Contribution and determined that the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby, including the Holding Company Reorganization, the Contribution and the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the Contribution are advisable and in the best interests of R1 and its stockholders. In addition, on February 22, 2022, the R1 Board unanimously approved the amendment of R1’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares issuable thereunder. In each case, the R1 Board considered the business, assets and liabilities, results of operations, financial performance, strategic direction and prospects of each of R1 and Cloudmed and certain anticipated effects of the transactions on the combined company.

For the factors considered by the R1 Board in reaching its decision to approve the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions, see the section titled “Recommendation of the R1 Board; R1’s Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 82 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The R1 Board recommends that R1 stockholders vote “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal.

Opinion of Centerview Partners LLC

R1 retained Centerview Partners LLC (“Centerview”) as financial advisor to the R1 Board in connection with the proposed Holding Company Reorganization, Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. In connection with this engagement, the R1 Board requested that Centerview evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to R1 of the Consideration proposed to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. On January 9, 2021, Centerview rendered

to the R1 Board its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated such date that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion, the Consideration proposed to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to R1.

The full text of Centerview’s written opinion, dated January 9, 2022, which describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion, is attached as Annex F and is incorporated herein by reference. Centerview’s financial advisory services and opinion were provided for the information and assistance of the R1 Board (in their capacity as directors and not in any other capacity) in connection with and for purposes of its consideration of the Transactions and Centerview’s opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date thereof, to R1 of the Consideration to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. Centerview’s opinion did not address any other term or aspect of the Transaction Agreement or the Transactions and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of R1 or any other person as to how such stockholder or other person should vote with respect to the issuance of the Consideration or otherwise act with respect to the Transactions or any other matter.

The full text of Centerview’s written opinion should be read carefully in its entirety for a description of the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion.

Interests of R1’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions

R1 stockholders should be aware that R1’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of R1 stockholders generally. The R1 Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in deciding to approve the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions. For a further discussion of these interests, please see the section titled “Interests of R1’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions” beginning on page 115 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Accounting Treatment

R1 and Cloudmed prepare their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. R1 will account for the Contribution as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting based on Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, with R1 treated as the acquiror.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization,” the exchange of R1 Common Stock for shares of New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, taken together with the Contribution, is expected to qualify as an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 351 of the Code. In addition, subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization,” the exchange of R1 Common Stock for shares of New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

It is recommended that you log in at least fifteen minutes in advance of the meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the meeting starts. Each R1 stockholder is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting for each share of R1 Common Stock held of record as of the R1 Record Date. As of the close of business on the R1 Record Date, there were 279,397,653 outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock.

If a quorum is present, the vote required to approve each of the proposals is as follows:

 

   

With respect to the Election of Directors Proposal, the nominees for directors receiving a plurality of the votes cast by holders of R1 Common Stock represented at the meeting shall be elected to the R1 Board. With respect to this proposal, you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to any or all director nominees.

 

   

With respect to the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all shares of R1 Common Stock represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter is required for approval.

rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investors will receive certain registration rights covering the resale of shares of New R1 Common Stock owned by any of the Investors, as well as any shares of New R1 Common Stock issued by New R1 upon the exercise of warrants held by certain of the Investors and any securities issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the shares of New R1 Common Stock referenced above.

The Voting Agreement

On January 9, 2022, R1, TCP-ASC and Cloudmed entered into the Voting Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, TCP-ASC agreed until the Expiration Time (as defined herein) to not transfer any Covered Shares and to vote all Covered Shares (i) in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal, (ii) in favor of the Transactions, (iii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of R1 stockholders to a later date made in accordance with the Transaction Agreement, or (iv) against any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the Stock Issuance Proposal and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. As of January 9, 2022, the shares of R1 Common Stock held by TCP-ASC represented approximately 50.1% of the total outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock.

Investor Rights Agreements

TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, R1, New R1 and TCP-ASC will enter into an amended and restated investor rights agreement (the “A&R Investor Rights Agreement”), which will replace and supersede the existing Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2016 (the “Original Investor Rights Agreement”), by and between R1 and TCP-ASC, as amended by the Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2021 (the “Amendment”).

Under the terms of the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as TCP-ASC and its affiliates hold in aggregate at least 33% of the total number of shares of New R1 Common Stock then outstanding, calculated assuming the full exercise of the TCP-ASC’s New R1 Warrant (“Diluted Common Shares”), TCP-ASC will be entitled to nominate such number of individuals to the New R1 Board constituting a majority of the New R1 Board (collectively, the “TCP-ASC Designees”) and entitled to designate the chairperson of the New R1 Board. For so long as TCP-ASC and its affiliates hold in aggregate less than 33% of the Diluted Common Shares but TCP-ASC’s Ownership Percentage (as that term is defined in the A&R Investor Rights Agreement) exceeds 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then TCP-ASC will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) two directors, and for so long as TCP-ASC’s Ownership Percentage is in the aggregate at least 5% but less than 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then TCP-ASC will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) one director.

For so long as TCP-ASC and its affiliates hold in aggregate at least 25% of the Diluted Common Shares, the A&R Investor Rights Agreement requires New R1 to obtain the approval of TCP-ASC before New R1 or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, take certain actions, including amending or modifying New R1’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in any manner that adversely impacts the rights of holders of New R1 Common Stock, incurring certain indebtedness, selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of certain assets or businesses of New R1 or any of its subsidiaries, and making certain governance changes.

New R1 will pay directly or reimburse TCP-ASC for certain reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses that arise in connection with or directly relate to the TCP-ASC’s performance under

 

20


Table of Contents

the A&R Investor Rights Agreement or otherwise relating to the management and oversight of TCP-ASC’s investment in New R1 and in connection with the Transactions, subject to a certain cap per fiscal year.

Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement

Additionally, simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, New R1 and the Sellers will enter into the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement. Under the terms of the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as the Sellers and their affiliates own in aggregate at least 75% of the shares of New R1 Common Stock issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or 33% of the Diluted Common Shares, the Sellers will be entitled to nominate the Seller Designees. For so long as the Sellers and their affiliates hold less than such amount but the Sellers’ “Ownership Percentage” (as that term is defined in the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement) exceeds 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Sellers will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) two directors, and for so long as the Sellers’ Ownership Percentage is in the aggregate at least 5% but less than 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Sellers will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) one director.

For so long as the Sellers and their affiliates own in aggregate at least 75% of the shares of New R1 Common Stock issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or 25% of the Diluted Common Shares, the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement requires New R1 to obtain the approval of the Sellers before New R1 or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, take certain actions, including amending or modifying New R1’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in any manner that adversely impacts the rights of holders of New R1 Common Stock, incurring certain indebtedness, selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of certain assets or businesses of New R1 or any of its subsidiaries, and making certain governance changes.

New R1 will pay directly or reimburse the Sellers for certain reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses that arise in connection with or directly relate to the Sellers’ performance under the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement or otherwise relating to the management and oversight of the Sellers’ investment in New R1, subject to a certain cap per fiscal year.

Commitment Letters

Concurrently with the signing of the Transaction Agreement, R1 entered into a debt commitment letter, dated as of January 9, 2022, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Incremental Commitment Letter, dated as of February 10, 2022 (and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Commitment Letter”), by and among R1, New R1, Barclays Bank PLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, KeyBank National Association, Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Bank, National Association, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, for (a) a $540 million senior secured incremental first lien term loan B facility (the “Incremental Term Loan B”), (b) a $500 million senior secured incremental first lien term loan A facility (the “Incremental Term Loan A”), and collectively with the Incremental Term Loan B, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and (c) a $150 million senior secured incremental first lien revolving facility (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”, and collectively with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”), on terms generally consistent with R1’s existing term loans and revolving loans, subject to certain amendments set forth in the Commitment Letter, and including customary interest, maturity, amortization and prepayment provisions for an incremental term loan B facility of this nature. The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans will be used, together with R1’s cash on hand, to finance the Transactions (including related fees and expenses), and the

 

21


Table of Contents

Incremental Revolving Loans will be used for, but not limited to, working capital, general corporate purposes, and other permitted purposes. The commitments set forth in the Commitment Letter are subject to customary fees and conditions contained therein, including the execution of definitive documentation and the consummation of the Transactions.

In addition, on January 9, 2022, R1 entered into a debt financing engagement letter, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Engagement Letter, dated as of February 10, 2022 (and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Engagement Letter”), by and among R1, New R1, Barclays Bank PLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, National Association to have the right to potentially embark on a best efforts process to obtain a senior secured incremental delayed-draw term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $500 million (the “Incremental Delayed-Draw Term Loan B Facility”), the proceeds of which to be applied to, among other things, working capital, general corporate purposes, and other permitted purposes. There can be no assurances that such best efforts process will be launched and/or completed.

Summary of Risk Factors

Before voting at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the specific factors in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Some of the principal risks related to the Transactions include the following:

 

   

R1 may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals required to consummate the Transactions.

 

   

If R1 does not integrate the businesses successfully, R1 may lose customers and fail to achieve its financial objectives.

 

   

The combined company may not realize the anticipated benefits from the Transactions.

 

   

R1 will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Transactions and will remain liable for significant transaction costs whether or not R1 successfully closes the Transactions, including legal, accounting and other costs.

 

   

While the Transactions are pending, R1 and Cloudmed are restricted from taking certain actions in the conduct of their respective businesses, which could adversely affect R1’s and Cloudmed’s ability to take actions beneficial to the companies.

 

   

The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of the combined results of R1’s business and Cloudmed after the consummation of the Transactions, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate R1’s business following the consummation of the Transactions.

 

   

The Transactions could cause R1 and New R1 to lose key personnel, which could materially affect the respective companies’ businesses and require the companies to incur substantial costs to recruit replacements for lost personnel.

 

   

After the Transactions, the concentrated ownership of R1’s capital stock by insiders will likely limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

 

   

If the Contribution and the Holding Company Reorganization, taken together, are not treated as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, R1 stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

 

22


Table of Contents
   

The combined company’s indebtedness following the Transactions will be higher than R1’s existing indebtedness, which could limit its operations and opportunities, make it more difficult for New R1 to pay or refinance debts and may cause New R1 to issue additional equity in the future, which would increase the dilution of stockholders or reduce earnings.

 

   

Despite current indebtedness levels and restrictive covenants, New R1 may still be able to incur more debt or make certain restricted payments, which could further exacerbate the risks described above.

 

   

Cloudmed’s industry is highly competitive, and if it is not able to compete effectively, its business, operating results, and financial condition will be harmed.

 

   

If Cloudmed is unable to retain and cross-sell to its existing customers or attract new customers, its business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

   

Cloudmed’s business could be adversely affected if its customers are not satisfied with its solutions.

 

   

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, its employees and customers, and the industry in which Cloudmed operates.

 

   

Cloudmed does not control its third-party service providers, and actions that such third-party providers might take could harm Cloudmed’s reputation and sales.

 

   

Cloudmed’s sales cycle is often variable and unpredictable. As a result, the timing and magnitude of Cloudmed’s revenue growth is difficult to predict and may vary substantially from quarter to quarter, which may cause its operating results to fluctuate.

 

   

The use of “open source” software in Cloudmed’s solutions may subject its proprietary software to general release, adversely affect Cloudmed’s ability to sell its products and services and subject Cloudmed to possible litigation, claims, or proceedings.

 

   

Cloudmed may not be able to obtain or maintain necessary licenses for third-party technology, including software and software components for use in or with its solutions, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and any restrictions on Cloudmed’s use of, or ability to, license data, or its failure to license data and integrate third-party technologies, could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

 

   

Cloudmed identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2020. Though remediated, if the material weakness recurred or if another material weakness were identified, it could result in material misstatements in New R1’s financial statements or impair New R1’s ability to produce accurate and timely consolidated financial statements and may adversely affect investor confidence in New R1 and the value of New R1 Common Stock.

 

   

Government regulation of healthcare is subject to frequent change and future healthcare reform could have a material adverse impact on Cloudmed’s customers and as a result, adversely impact its business, operating results and financial condition.

 

   

If Cloudmed or its customers fail to comply with federal and state laws governing submission of false or fraudulent claims to government healthcare programs and financial relationships among healthcare providers, Cloudmed or its customers may be subject to civil and criminal penalties or loss of eligibility to participate in government healthcare programs.

 

   

Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition and could result in significant liability or reputational harm.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 54 of this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote. The risk factors described below are not the only ones facing R1, and following the Transactions, New R1. For a discussion of additional risk considerations, please refer to the documents R1 files from time to time with the SEC, particularly R1’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to R1 or which are not currently believed to be important also may adversely affect the Transactions and New R1 following the Transactions.

Risks Relating to the Transactions

R1 may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals required to consummate the Transactions.

Completion of the Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions. These closing conditions include, among others, the effectiveness of this registration statement and expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and approval under EU Merger Regulation, Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. R1 intends to pursue all of these consents and authorizations as required by and in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Complying with requests from such governmental agencies, including requests for additional information and documents, could delay consummation of the Transactions.

If R1 does not integrate the businesses successfully, R1 may lose customers and fail to achieve its financial objectives.

Achieving the benefits of the Transactions will depend in part on the successful integration of Cloudmed’s business into R1’s operations in a timely and efficient manner. In order for R1 to provide its customers with the same level of service after the Transactions, it will need to integrate its product lines and development organizations with those of Cloudmed. This may be difficult, unpredictable, and subject to delay because the businesses have been developed independently and were designed without regard to such integration. In addition, Cloudmed is still in the process of integrating certain of its recent acquisitions. If R1 cannot successfully integrate the businesses and products and continue to provide customers with products and new product features in the future on a timely basis, R1 may lose customers and its business and operating results may be harmed.

The combined company may not realize the anticipated benefits from the Transactions.

The Transactions involve the integration of two companies that have previously operated independently. R1 expects the combined company to result in financial and operational benefits, including increased cost savings and other financial and operating benefits from the Transactions. There can be no assurance, however, regarding when or the extent to which the combined companies will be able to realize these increased cost savings or benefits. The companies must integrate or, in some cases, replace numerous systems, including those involving management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, billing, employee benefits, payroll and regulatory compliance, many of which are dissimilar. Difficulties associated with integrating New R1 could have a material adverse effect on the combined companies and the market price of New R1 Common Stock.

R1 will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Transactions and will remain liable for significant transaction costs whether or not R1 successfully closes the Transactions, including legal, accounting and other costs.

R1 has incurred and expects to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies which cannot be estimated accurately at this time. Although R1 expects that

 

24


Table of Contents

the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and transaction-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. Also, speculation regarding the likelihood of the closing of the Transactions could increase the volatility of R1’s share price in the interim.

While the Transactions are pending, R1 and Cloudmed are restricted from taking certain actions in the conduct of their respective businesses, which could adversely affect R1’s and Cloudmed’s ability to take actions beneficial to the companies.

Under the Transaction Agreement, R1 and Cloudmed have agreed to operate their respective businesses in the usual, regular and ordinary course. In addition, R1 and Cloudmed have agreed not to take certain actions, including, without limitation, to the extent provided in the Transaction Agreement, declaring dividends, issuing securities, encumbering capital stock or other equity interests, making material acquisitions or disposing of material assets. Cloudmed has agreed to additional restrictions on its business conduct, including with respect to material contracts, employment and compensation matters, indebtedness, capital expenditures and certain strategic and other transactions. R1’s agreement not to take these actions could adversely affect R1’s ability to take actions beneficial to R1 or its stockholders. Similarly, the restrictions applicable to Cloudmed may limit Cloudmed ability to pursue attractive business opportunities and making other changes to its business, which could adversely affect its operating results.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of the combined results of R1’s business and Cloudmed after the consummation of the Transactions, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate R1’s business following the consummation of the Transactions.

R1 and Cloudmed currently operate as separate companies. R1 and Cloudmed have had no prior history as an integrated entity and their operations have not previously been managed on an integrated basis. The unaudited pro forma financial information 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 Transactions been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of R1’s future operating results or financial position. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Transactions, including the potential realization of operating cost savings or costs related to the planned integration of Cloudmed, and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expenses. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the acquisition that R1 believes are reasonable under the circumstances. R1 cannot assure you that its assumptions will prove to be accurate over time.

The Transactions could cause R1 and New R1 to lose key personnel, which could materially affect the respective companies’ businesses and require the companies to incur substantial costs to recruit replacements for lost personnel.

As a result of the Transactions, current and prospective R1 and New R1 employees could experience uncertainty about their future roles within the combined company. This uncertainty may adversely affect R1’s ability to attract and retain key management and operational personnel. Any failure to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business of R1 now and New R1 after completion of the Transactions.

After the Transactions, the concentrated ownership of R1’s capital stock by insiders will likely limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

After the Transactions, based on 279,397,653 shares of R1 Common Stock outstanding on April 6, 2022, R1’s executive officers, directors, affiliates of TCP-ASC and the Sellers (which are controlled by affiliates of

 

25


Table of Contents

New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. (“New Mountain”)) will own approximately                 % of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. As a result, R1’s executive officers, directors, affiliates of TCP-ASC and the Sellers will be able to significantly influence matters that require approval by New R1’s stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers and acquisitions. In addition, pursuant to the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as TCP-ASC’s Ownership Threshold (as defined in the A&R Investor Rights Agreement) is met, TCP-ASC will be entitled to nominate such number of individuals to the New R1 Board constituting a majority of the New R1 Board. The directors will have the authority to make decisions affecting New R1’s capital structure, including the issuance of additional debt and the declaration of dividends. Each of TCP-ASC and the Sellers may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. Corporate action might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of New R1 that other stockholders may view as beneficial, could deprive New R1’s stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of New R1 and might ultimately depress the market price of New R1 Common Stock.

If the Contribution and the Holding Company Reorganization, taken together, are not treated as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, R1 stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in the section titled “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization,” beginning on page 117 of this proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange of R1 Common Stock for shares of New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, taken together with the Contribution, is expected to qualify as an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 351 of the Code. In addition, also subject to such limitations and qualifications, such exchange is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. However, such treatment is based on the law in effect on the closing of the Transactions and on certain representations and covenants made by certain parties to the Transactions (including R1 and New R1, the Sellers, and TCP-ASC). Any change in applicable law, which may be retroactive, or the failure of any such representations or assumptions to be true, correct and complete in all material respects, could adversely affect such conclusion. Moreover, the IRS and the courts are not bound by such conclusion, and the IRS or a court may disagree. If, with respect to any particular stockholder, the Transactions qualify under both Section 351 and Section 368 of the Code, the Transactions will be treated as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code for such stockholder rather than as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code.

If the Holding Company Reorganization and Contribution were determined not to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, a U.S. holder (as defined below in the section entitled “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization”) exchanging R1 Common Stock would recognize gain or loss with respect to all of such holder’s shares of R1 Common Stock exchanged in the Holding Company Reorganization equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value of the New R1 Common Stock received and (2) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the R1 Common Stock exchanged therefor. For a more detailed discussion of the consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization to U.S. holders, see the section titled “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization” beginning on page 117 of this proxy statement/prospectus. The tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization to any particular R1 stockholder will depend on that holder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the Holding Company Reorganization.

Risks Related to New R1’s Common Stock

The trading price of R1’s common stock has been volatile and the trading price of New R1’s common stock may continue to be volatile.

Since March 1, 2020, R1 Common Stock has traded at a price per share as high as $31.28 and as low as $7.12. Market prices for securities of companies that have undergone significant acquisitions may be volatile. The trading price of New R1 Common Stock may be highly volatile in the future and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. In addition to the risks described in this section, factors that may cause the market price of New R1 Common Stock to fluctuate include: fluctuations in New R1’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to New R1; changes in estimates of New R1’s financial results or recommendations by securities analysts, if any, who cover New R1 Common Stock, or failure to meet expectations of such securities analysts; the loss of service agreements with customers; lawsuits filed against New R1 by governmental authorities or stockholders; unfavorable publicity concerning New R1’s operations or business practices; investors’ general perception of New R1; changes in local, regional or national economic conditions; changes in demographic trends; increased labor costs, including healthcare, unemployment insurance and minimum wage requirements; the entry into, or termination of, material agreements; changes in general economic, industry, regulatory, and market conditions not related to the combined company or its business; the availability of experienced management and hourly-paid employees; issues in operating the combined companies; future sales of New R1 securities, including sales by New R1’s significant stockholders; and other potentially negative financial announcements, including delisting of New R1 Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market, changes in accounting treatment or restatement of previously reported financial results, delays in the combined companies’ filings with the SEC or the combined companies’ failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, if the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of New R1 Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to its business, financial condition, or operating results.

Anti-takeover provisions in New R1’s charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of New R1 and may affect the trading price of its common stock.

New R1 is a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the DGCL may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting New R1 from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to New R1’s existing stockholders. In addition, New R1’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in New R1’s management or control over New R1 that stockholders may consider favorable. New R1’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:

 

   

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by the New R1 Board to thwart a takeover attempt;

 

   

require that directors only be removed from office upon a supermajority stockholder vote;

 

   

provide that vacancies on the New R1 Board, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

 

   

limit who may call special meetings of stockholders;

 

   

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, requiring all actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders; and

 

   

require supermajority stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to New R1’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws.

New R1 may not pay any cash dividends on its capital stock in the foreseeable future.

R1 has not paid cash dividends on its capital stock since its initial public offering, and there is no assurance that New R1 will pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividend payments will be within the discretion of the New R1 Board and will depend on, among other things, New R1’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, contractual restrictions, provisions of applicable law, and other factors that the New R1 Board may deem relevant. New R1 may not generate sufficient cash from operations in the future to pay dividends on its common stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about New R1’s business or if they downgrade New R1 Common Stock, the price of New R1 Common Stock could decline.

The trading market for New R1 Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about New R1 or its business. New R1 cannot assure you that these analysts will publish research or reports about New R1 or that any analysts that do so will not discontinue publishing research or reports about New R1 in the future. If one or more analysts who cover New R1 downgrade New R1 Common Stock, the market price of New R1 Common Stock could decline rapidly. If analysts do not publish reports about New R1 or if one or more analysts cease coverage of New R1 Common Stock, New R1 could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price to decline.

Risks Related to Indebtedness

The combined company’s indebtedness following the Transactions will be higher than R1’s existing indebtedness, which could limit its operations and opportunities, make it more difficult for New R1 to pay or refinance debts and may cause New R1 to issue additional equity in the future, which would increase the dilution of stockholders or reduce earnings.

In connection and concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, R1 and New R1 entered into the Commitment Letter, pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, Barclays Bank PLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, KeyBank National Association, Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Bank, National Association, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, National Association have committed to provide R1, substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the Transactions, the Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,040.0 million and the Incremental Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million, in each case, on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter.

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement and the Commitment Letter, R1 and New R1 entered into the Engagement Letter with Barclays Bank PLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, National Association to have the right to potentially embark on a best efforts process to obtain, contemporaneously with the consummation of the Transactions, the Incremental Delayed-Draw Term Loan B Facility. There can be no assurances that such best efforts process will be launched and/or completed.

On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Transactions, without giving effect to any proceeds of the best efforts Incremental Delayed-Draw Term Loan B Facility, as of December 31, 2021, R1 would have had approximately $1,816 million of total indebtedness outstanding consisting of $500 million outstanding under the Incremental Term Loan A Facility, $540 million outstanding under the Incremental Term Loan B Facility, $696 million under our existing Term Loan A credit facility and $80 million outstanding under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted debt on a pro forma basis. After giving effect to the Transactions, at December 31, 2021, R1 would have had $519.5 million of borrowing availability under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility (after reserving $0.5 million for letters of credit issued under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility).

Table of Contents

R1’s debt service obligations with respect to increased indebtedness under the Incremental Loans could have an adverse impact on R1’s earnings and cash flows (which after the Transactions would include the earnings and cash flows of Cloudmed) for as long as the indebtedness is outstanding. See the section titled “The Transactions—Description of the Credit Facilities Entered Into in Connection with the Transactions” beginning on page 67 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the Commitment Letter and the Incremental Loans.

R1’s substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

 

   

make it more difficult for R1 to satisfy its obligations with respect to its outstanding debt;

 

   

increase R1’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

require R1 to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its indebtedness and related interest, including indebtedness R1 may incur in the future, thereby reducing the availability of its cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

 

   

limit R1’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the business and the industry in which R1 operates;

 

   

increase R1’s cost of borrowing;

 

   

place R1 at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that may have less debt; and

 

   

limit R1’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements or general corporate purposes.

R1 expects to use cash flow from operations and revolving credit borrowings and the Facilities to meet current and future financial obligations, including funding its operations, debt service and capital expenditures. R1’s ability to make these payments depends on its future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which R1 cannot control. R1’s business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, which could result in R1 being unable to repay indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. If R1 does not have enough money, it may be forced to reduce or delay its business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of its debt on or before maturity. R1 cannot make any assurances that it will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to R1, or at all. In addition, the terms of existing or future indebtedness may limit R1’s ability to pursue any of these alternatives.

Despite current indebtedness levels and restrictive covenants, New R1 may still be able to incur more debt or make certain restricted payments, which could further exacerbate the risks described above.

New R1 and its subsidiaries may be able to incur additional debt in the future, including debt that may be secured on a first lien basis or pari passu with amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement. Although the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on R1’s ability to incur indebtedness, those restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions. New R1 could also consider investments in joint ventures or acquisitions, which may increase its indebtedness. Moreover, although the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on R1’s ability to make restricted payments, including the declaration and payment of dividends, it is able to make such restricted payments under certain circumstances. Adding new debt to current debt levels or making restricted payments could intensify the related risks that New R1 and its subsidiaries now face.

The Credit Agreement restricts R1’s ability to engage in some business and financial transactions and contain certain other restrictive terms.

The Credit Agreement restricts R1’s ability in certain circumstances to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional debt;

 

29


Table of Contents
   

pay dividends and make other distributions on, redeem or repurchase, capital stock;

 

   

make investments or other restricted payments;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

 

   

sell all, or substantially all, of R1’s assets;

 

   

create liens on assets to secure debt; or

 

   

effect a consolidation or merger.

These covenants limit R1’s operational flexibility and could prevent it from taking advantage of business opportunities as they arise, growing its business or competing effectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires R1 to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial tests. At December 31, 2021, R1 was in compliance with such covenants. R1’s ability to meet these financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond its control, and R1 cannot assure you that it will meet these tests in the future.

A breach of any of these covenants or other provisions in the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, could result in such debt becoming immediately due and payable. In the event that some or all of R1’s debt is accelerated and becomes immediately due and payable, it may not have the funds to repay, or the ability to refinance, such debt.

Risks Relating to Cloudmed’s Industry and Business

Cloudmed’s industry is highly competitive, and if it is not able to compete effectively, its business, operating results, and financial condition will be harmed.

The market for Cloudmed’s solutions is highly competitive and Cloudmed expects competition to increase in the future. Competition in the U.S. healthcare market stems from the scale and intricacy of the healthcare system, which is characterized by rapid change, regulatory complexity, and rising costs. This complexity has led to a proliferation of products and services intended to assist hospitals and health systems manage and optimize their financial and operating performance. Cloudmed primarily faces competition from business process outsourcing companies, end-to-end RCM providers (to the extent such providers are marketing revenue integrity point solutions), software vendors, and other technology-supported RCM business process outsourcing companies, traditional consultants, healthcare technology companies, revenue integrity service providers, automation companies, EMR providers, and credit-based firms. In addition, Cloudmed may face future competition from other large technologically sophisticated entities or traditional consulting-based firms that may elect to enter markets in which it competes.

Many of Cloudmed’s competitors and potential competitors may have more substantial financial, technological, and other resources and name recognition than Cloudmed does, and more established distribution networks and relationships with healthcare providers. Cloudmed’s competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Cloudmed can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, regulations, or customer requirements. Current or future competitors may consolidate and new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, larger customer bases and established customer relationships, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, broader offerings, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than Cloudmed has, which could put Cloudmed at a competitive disadvantage. To remain competitive, Cloudmed will need to invest continuously in technology, marketing, hiring and training its employees, and customer service and support. Cloudmed may not have sufficient resources to continue to invest in all areas of its business needed to maintain its competitive position.

Cloudmed cannot be certain that new or established competitors will not offer solutions that are superior to, or lower in price, than Cloudmed’s solutions and increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures.

 

30


Table of Contents

Even if Cloudmed’s solutions are more effective than the offerings of its competitors, current or potential customers might accept or prefer the offerings of Cloudmed’s competitors. If Cloudmed’s competitors offer lower rates or develop solutions that the marketplace considers more valuable, Cloudmed may need to change its pricing model or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any such changes could adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

If Cloudmed is unable to retain and cross-sell to its existing customers or attract new customers, its business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Cloudmed’s growth depends on its ability to retain and cross-sell to its existing customers and attract new customers. Generally, Cloudmed’s customer contracts have a one- to three-year initial term and automatically renew after the initial term unless terminated early. Typically, Cloudmed’s customers may terminate their contract for convenience upon 60 to 90 days’ notice, for applicable solutions, and a wind-down period that averages between 60 and 90 days. Factors that may affect customer renewal, and Cloudmed’s ability to sell additional solutions to its existing customers and its ability to attract new customers include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

   

the price, performance, and functionality of Cloudmed’s solutions, including its ability to keep its technology and algorithms current as a result of changes in regulations;

 

   

the availability, price, performance, and functionality of competing solutions;

 

   

the willingness of potential customers to engage with and dedicate time to the implementation of Cloudmed’s solutions;

 

   

the overall satisfaction levels with Cloudmed’s solutions and customer support;

 

   

Cloudmed’s ability to develop and sell complementary solutions;

 

   

Cloudmed’s ability to continuously deliver measurable results to its customers;

 

   

Cloudmed’s ability to differentiate itself from its competitors and compete effectively;

 

   

Cloudmed’s customers’ perceived ability to develop and perform the services that Cloudmed offers using their internal resources for cost or other considerations;

 

   

changes in healthcare laws, regulations, or trends; and

 

   

the business environment of Cloudmed’s customers.

Moreover, acceptance of Cloudmed’s solutions by new customers may require such customers to adopt different behavior patterns and new methods of conducting business and exchanging information. Cloudmed cannot provide assurance that its customers will integrate its solutions into their workflow or that participants in the markets in which Cloudmed compete will accept or express interest in Cloudmed’s end-to-end revenue intelligence solutions. Other factors that may impair Cloudmed’s ability to attract new customers include, among others, a weakening of Cloudmed’s reputation in the industry or its inability to match or exceed the value proposition offered by its existing or future competitors. Even if potential customers recognize the need for end-to-end revenue intelligence solutions, they may not select Cloudmed’s solutions because they previously have made investments in other solutions or internally developed solutions or internal resources and choose to continue to rely on those solutions or resources. Achieving market acceptance for Cloudmed’s solutions requires substantial sales and marketing efforts to differentiate itself in a crowded market of end-to-end revenue cycle solutions, and the expenditure of financial and other resources to educate and create awareness and demand.

If Cloudmed fails to attract new customers and achieve broad acceptance of solutions by health systems and other healthcare industry participants or its customers fail to renew their contracts, renew their contracts upon less favorable terms, or at lower fee levels, or fail to purchase new solutions from Cloudmed, Cloudmed’s revenue may decline or its future revenue growth would be constrained, which could adversely impact its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Cloudmed’s customers are heavily regulated and, as a result, its customer agreements generally require Cloudmed to adhere to extensive, complex data security, network access, and other institutional procedures and requirements of its customers that Cloudmed may not be able to comply with or that a customer may allege Cloudmed has violated. If Cloudmed breaches a customer agreement or, for certain of its customer agreements, fails to perform in accordance with contractual service levels, Cloudmed may be liable to the customer for damages, and either Cloudmed or the customer may generally terminate an agreement for a material uncured breach by the other. In addition, financial issues or other changes in customer circumstances, such as a customer change in control (including as a result of increasing consolidation within the healthcare provider industry), may cause Cloudmed or the customer to seek to modify or terminate their agreement with Cloudmed.

Cloudmed’s business could be adversely affected if its customers are not satisfied with its solutions.

Cloudmed depends on customer satisfaction to succeed. Cloudmed’s sales organization is dependent on the quality of its solutions, its business reputation, and references from existing customers. If the solutions that Cloudmed provides fail to meet customer expectations or are not accurately updated to reflect changes in regulations, customers could assert claims against it, seek to terminate their contracts with it or decline to renew them, and be subject to regulatory or enforcement actions, including those related to false claims submissions, overpayments, misrepresenting services rendered, and improper billing and coding. Cloudmed is focused on delivering a comprehensive solution that addresses its customers’ persistent issue with revenue leakage and providing customer support services to resolve any issues related to Cloudmed’s solutions. Cloudmed’s customer support team may be unable to respond quickly or efficiently enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for support, particularly as it increases the size of its customer base. It is difficult to predict customer demand for support services and if customer demand increases significantly, Cloudmed may be unable to provide satisfactory support services to its customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality and highly-responsive customer support, or a market perception that Cloudmed does not maintain high-quality and highly-responsive support, could damage Cloudmed’s reputation and impair its ability to attract or retain customers, which could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry may impact Cloudmed’s ability to acquire new customers or retain and grow its existing customers, as consolidated healthcare systems may have incumbent revenue intelligence providers or may possess, acquire, or develop significant internal revenue intelligence capabilities. Cloudmed expects regulatory and economic conditions to result in additional consolidation in the healthcare industry in the future. As consolidation accelerates, the economies of scale of Cloudmed’s customers’ organizations may grow, or, in the case an existing customer is acquired by or acquires a healthcare provider that uses a competing product or service, Cloudmed may be removed from a customer’s vendor network. If a customer experiences sizable growth following consolidation, the customer may determine that there is no longer a need to rely on Cloudmed and such customer may reduce demand for Cloudmed’s solutions. In addition, as healthcare providers consolidate to create larger and more integrated health systems with greater market power, these providers may try to use their market power to negotiate fee reductions for Cloudmed’s solutions. Consolidation may also result in the acquisition or future development by Cloudmed’s healthcare provider customers of solutions that compete with its solutions. As a result of the foregoing, a major customer in one year may not provide the same level of revenue in any subsequent year. Any significant reduction in or elimination of the use of the solutions that Cloudmed provides as a result of consolidation or its removal from a key customer’s vendor network would result in reduced revenue to Cloudmed and could harm its business. If Cloudmed is unable to adapt to the impact of industry consolidations in a timely manner, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be negatively affected.

The market for integrated, end-to-end revenue cycle solutions may develop more slowly than Cloudmed expects.

Cloudmed’s success depends, in part, on the willingness of hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers to implement integrated, end-to-end revenue cycle solutions. Some hospitals may be reluctant or unwilling to implement Cloudmed’s solution for a number of reasons, including failure to perceive the need for improved revenue cycle operations and lack of knowledge about the potential benefits that Cloudmed’s solutions provide. Even if potential customers recognize the need for improved revenue cycle operations, they may not select integrated, end-to-end revenue cycle solutions such as Cloudmed’s solutions because they previously made investments in other solutions or internally developed solutions and choose to continue to rely on those solutions. As a result, the market for integrated, end-to-end revenue cycle solutions may develop more slowly than Cloudmed expects, which could adversely affect its revenue and its ability to maintain or increase its profitability.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, its employees and customers, and the industry in which Cloudmed operates.

On March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. In response to the pandemic, governments around the world implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns. Restrictions on businesses and travel are occurring based on state and local guidelines and vary by locality and cannot be reasonably predicted. Even after re-openings, a resurgence of cases have led to and may continue to lead to further shut-downs or restrictions after the initial re-opening. These measures have impacted and may further impact all or portions of Cloudmed’s workforce and operations and the operations of Cloudmed’s customers. These impacts include decreases in patient volumes, the need for personal protective equipment and other protective measures for front-line employees, and work-from-home arrangements. Restrictions on Cloudmed’s employees’ ability to travel could affect Cloudmed’s ability to sell or onboard certain services. Cloudmed’s business, along with the global economy, has been adversely affected by these measures, which have resulted in significant reductions in spending, volatile economic conditions, and business disruptions across markets globally.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the adverse impacts to Cloudmed’s results of operations, which resulted from certain revenue pressure due to declining volumes, were partially offset by Cloudmed’s cost control initiatives implemented in 2020. Cloudmed also has a large number of employees now working from home. Although Cloudmed has seen fluctuations in case counts with the emergence of different variants of the COVID-19 virus as the pandemic has evolved over the last two years, patient volumes mostly recovered during 2021 to pre-pandemic levels, though Cloudmed cannot precisely quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to numerous other variables that may be unrelated. Adverse impacts to Cloudmed’s customers’ businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause delays in, or limit their ability to, make timely payments to Cloudmed, which could adversely affect Cloudmed’s operating results. The COVID-19 pandemic and the response to it have caused an economic slowdown. Further economic slowdown, a recession, or continued economic uncertainty as a result of COVID-19 could negatively affect Cloudmed by reducing patient or service volumes and payment ability. The extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact Cloudmed’s ongoing results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, but could materially and adversely impact its business, results of operations, and liquidity in future periods.

These and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts Cloudmed’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of future outbreaks of COVID-19, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, business closures or business disruption, and the actions taken throughout the world, including in Cloudmed’s markets, to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. The severity, magnitude, and

 

33


Table of Contents

duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, rapidly changing, and difficult to predict and depends on events beyond Cloudmed’s knowledge or control. Cloudmed might not be able to predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent near- or long-term adverse impacts to its results. As a result, Cloudmed cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future operations, but it could have a material adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Any new state or federal regulations concerning mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of employees could have a material adverse impact on Cloudmed’s business and operating results.

On November 4, 2021, following a directive from President Biden, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”) requiring all employers with at least 100 employees company-wide to ensure that their employees are fully vaccinated by January 4, 2022, or require unvaccinated workers to obtain a negative COVID-19 test at least once a week. Litigation was filed subsequent to the issuance of the ETS, and on November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a nationwide injunction staying the enforcement of the regulation pending a full judicial review of the ETS. The stay order did not specify whether the stay would extend beyond the Fifth Circuit, but effectively enjoined the federal government from taking any action to enforce the ETS while the stay remained in effect. The stay’s practical effect was a nationwide pause on enforcement. Since then, numerous challenges to the mandate are pending in various federal courts.

On December 17, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reinstated the stay and dissolved the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s injunction. The U.S. Department of Labor announced on December 18, 2021 that OSHA would not issue citations for noncompliance with any requirements of the ETS before January 10, 2022, and would not issue citations for noncompliance with the testing requirements before February 9, 2022.

On January 7, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments with respect to the enforceability of the ETS, and, on January 13, 2022, issued a per curiam decision ordering the ETS be stayed pending disposition of the appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and any future appeals. In a separate opinion, the Supreme Court of the United States simultaneously upheld the federal government’s vaccination mandate as a condition of participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

As a result, it is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact on Cloudmed of the ETS or any current or future vaccination mandates that may be announced. Employers may still have to comply with other COVID-19 vaccination rules at the state, local and industry level, and private-sector employers may still require vaccine-or-test policies that mirror OSHA’s proposed regulation. Any requirement to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for Cloudmed’s employees, or require unvaccinated employees to be tested weekly could result in employee attrition and difficulty securing future labor needs, including a reduction in employees processing inflow and making timely filings, difficulty in obtaining services from impacted providers, customers requiring Cloudmed to expand its solutions or provide business process outsourcing services and increased costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed does not control its third-party service providers, and actions that such third-party providers might take could harm Cloudmed’s reputation and sales.

Cloudmed relies on third-party service providers to provide important aspects of its revenue intelligence offering, software development assistance, and to perform other services, and Cloudmed may increase its reliance on these service providers in the future. If Cloudmed’s outsourcing partners fail to perform their obligations in a timely manner or at satisfactory quality levels, or if they are unable to attract or retain sufficient personnel with the necessary skill sets to meet Cloudmed’s outsourcing needs, the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of Cloudmed’s services could suffer.

Cloudmed does not control its third-party service providers or their labor, environmental, data privacy, security, protection, or other practices. Although Cloudmed may incorporate contractual provisions regarding

 

34


Table of Contents

such practices or undertake periodic reviews of its third-party service providers’ compliance with applicable laws and good industry practices, these contractual provisions and reviews may not be effective, frequent or thorough enough, as applicable, to detect non-compliance. A violation of labor, environmental, data privacy, security, or protection laws or other laws by these third-party service providers, or a failure of these parties to follow ethical business practices, could lead to negative publicity and harm Cloudmed’s reputation. Additionally, Cloudmed may choose to seek alternative service providers if these violations or failures were to occur. Identifying and qualifying new service providers can be time consuming and Cloudmed might not be able to substitute suitable alternatives in a timely manner or at an acceptable cost. Any of these events could adversely affect Cloudmed’s brand, harm its reputation, reduce demand for its products, and harm its ability to meet demand if it needs to identify alternative service providers.

In addition, Cloudmed’s reliance on service providers in other countries such as India and the Cayman Islands exposes it to disruptions in the business, political, and economic environment in those regions as well as to responses to pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, any changes to existing laws or the enactment of new legislation restricting offshore outsourcing in the United States may adversely affect Cloudmed’s ability to outsource functions to third-party offshore service providers. Diminished service quality from outsourcing, failure of Cloudmed’s outsourcers to comply with ethical business practices, contractual requirements, or applicable law, or Cloudmed’s inability to utilize offshore service providers could have an adverse impact on its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Negative public perception in the United States regarding offshore outsourcing and proposed legislation may increase the cost of delivering Cloudmed’s services.

Offshore outsourcing is a politically sensitive topic in the United States. For example, various organizations and public figures in the United States have expressed concern about a perceived association between offshore outsourcing providers and the loss of jobs in the United States. Cloudmed currently engages in offshore outsourcing for services related to its Denials Recovery and Underpayments Recovery solutions, and software development. Current or prospective customers may elect to perform such services themselves or may be discouraged from transferring these services from onshore to offshore providers to avoid negative perceptions that may be associated with using an offshore provider. While Cloudmed does not offshore a significant portion of work today, its practice could evolve in the future.

Cloudmed relies on third-party providers, such as Microsoft Azure, for cloud infrastructure and other technology services, and any disruptions in or interference with Cloudmed’s use of such services could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Failure of third-party providers to provide adequate cloud-based data infrastructure and other technology-related services to Cloudmed could result in a significant loss of revenue to Cloudmed. In addition, frequent or prolonged interruptions of these services could result in significant loss of revenue. These types of occurrences could also cause users to perceive Cloudmed’s services as not functioning properly. Cloudmed has limited control over these third parties and cannot provide assurance that it will be able to maintain satisfactory relationships with these third parties on acceptable commercial terms or that the quality of services provided will remain at the levels needed to enable Cloudmed to conduct its business effectively, which could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Moreover, Cloudmed’s cloud infrastructure providers and other providers of services, systems and technologies have no obligations to renew their agreements with Cloudmed on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and it is possible that Cloudmed will not be able to switch its operations to another provider in a timely and cost effective manner should the need arise. If Cloudmed is unable to renew its agreements with these providers on commercially reasonable terms, or if in the future Cloudmed adds additional data center facility or other providers, Cloudmed may face additional costs, or expenses, or downtime, which could adversely impact its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Cloudmed’s sales cycle is often variable and unpredictable. As a result, the timing and magnitude of Cloudmed’s revenue growth is difficult to predict and may vary substantially from quarter to quarter, which may cause its operating results to fluctuate.

Cloudmed’s operating results may fluctuate, in part, because of the intensive nature of its sales efforts, as well as the length and variability of the sales cycle. The sales cycle for Cloudmed’s solutions may vary significantly, typically ranging from three to four months from initial contact to contract execution. Cloudmed’s sales efforts involve educating its customers and potential customers, who are frequently relatively unfamiliar with Cloudmed’s brand and the value of Cloudmed’s solutions, including the solutions’ technical capabilities, and potential value to customers’ organizations.

However, there is potential for Cloudmed’s sales cycle to extend beyond this range as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as Cloudmed experienced in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cloudmed’s efforts involve educating its customers about the use, technical capabilities, and benefits of Cloudmed’s solutions. Accordingly, Cloudmed’s operating results depend in substantial part on its ability to deliver a successful customer experience and persuade its customers to grow their relationship with Cloudmed over time. As Cloudmed expects to grow rapidly, its customer acquisition costs could outpace revenue growth, and Cloudmed may be unable to reduce its total operating costs through economies of scale such that Cloudmed is unable to achieve profitability. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays, including delays caused by factors outside of Cloudmed’s control, could cause Cloudmed’s operating results to suffer.

As a result of these and other factors, Cloudmed’s sales efforts typically require an extensive effort throughout a customer’s organization, a significant investment of human resources, expense and time, including by Cloudmed’s senior management, and there can be no assurances that Cloudmed will be successful in making a sale to a potential customer. If Cloudmed’s sales efforts to potential customers do not result in sufficient revenue to justify its investments, Cloudmed’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Cloudmed’s Intellectual Property

The use of “open source” software in Cloudmed’s solutions may subject its proprietary software to general release, adversely affect Cloudmed’s ability to sell its products and services and subject Cloudmed to possible litigation, claims, or proceedings.

Certain of Cloudmed’s solutions utilize and incorporate open source software that is subject to open source licenses. Open source software is freely accessible, usable, and modifiable, in each case subject to the terms of the applicable open source software license. In some instances, such open source software licenses subject licensees to certain unfavorable conditions, including requirements that they offer products that incorporate the open source software for no cost, that they make publicly available all or part of the source code for any modifications or derivative works Cloudmed creates based upon, incorporating or using the open source software or that they license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of the particular open source license.

Companies that incorporate open source software into their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging their use of such software, including suits by third parties claiming unlicensed use, or noncompliance with open source licensing terms. As a result of its utilization of open source software, Cloudmed could be subject to such suits or claims. While Cloudmed tries to ensure that open source licensed code is not used in a manner that would breach the terms of an open source license, it cannot guarantee that it will be successful, that all open source software is reviewed prior to use in its platform, that its developers have not incorporated open source software into Cloudmed’s products that Cloudmed is unaware of or that they will not do so in the future.

Furthermore, there are an increasing number of open source software license types, almost none of which have been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, resulting in a dearth of guidance regarding the proper legal interpretation of such licenses. As a result, there is a risk that open source software licenses could be construed in

 

36


Table of Contents

a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Cloudmed’s ability to market or provide its solutions. If Cloudmed is held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, it could face infringement claims or other liability, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing its offerings on terms that are not economically feasible, if at all, to re-engineer all or a portion of its platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of its offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, its proprietary code.

Further, in addition to risks related to license requirements, the use and distribution of open source software may entail greater technical and legal risks than those associated with the use of third-party commercial software. For example, open source is generally provided without any support or warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code, including the existence of security vulnerabilities. To the extent that Cloudmed’s platform depends upon the successful operation of open source software, any undetected errors or defects in open source software that it uses could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of its systems and injure its reputation, and the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise Cloudmed’s platform. Any of the foregoing risks could materially and adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, financial condition and operating results.

If Cloudmed’s trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected or enforced, Cloudmed may not be able to build name recognition in its markets of interest and its business may be adversely affected.

Cloudmed believes that its Cloudmed brands are critical to the success of its business. Cloudmed has taken steps, including applying for trademark registration, to protect these brands. As of April 1, 2022, Cloudmed owns one U.S. federal trademark registration for the mark “Cloudmed,” and other U.S. trademark applications for “Cloudmed” and Cloudmed-related designs and brands remain pending. As of April 1, 2022, Cloudmed has five U.S. registered trademarks that it does not currently view as central to its business or brand. Cloudmed relies on several unregistered trademarks to protect its brands that Cloudmed believes distinguish its solutions from the solutions of its competitors. Third parties may use trademarks similar to Cloudmed’s trademarks and any potential confusion as to the source of goods or services could have an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, and Cloudmed may not be able to build name recognition in its markets of interest. Cloudmed’s business could be harmed if it is unable to protect its brands against infringement and the strength and/or value of its brands was to decrease as a result.

Efforts by third parties to limit use of Cloudmed’s brand names or trademarks and barriers to the registration of brand names and trademarks in various countries in which Cloudmed operates or may want to operate in the future may restrict Cloudmed’s ability to promote and maintain a cohesive brand throughout its key markets. While Cloudmed has applied for registrations of its trademarks in the United States, it is possible that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may refuse registration of some or all of its pending applications. In addition, Cloudmed has not sought registration of its trademarks in the United States in all categories in which it now or may, in the future, offer its solutions, and there can be no assurance that the actions Cloudmed has taken to establish and protect its trademarks will be adequate to prevent the use of confusingly similar brands by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of Cloudmed’s products or services as a violation of their own trademarks. In order to protect Cloudmed’s brands, Cloudmed may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. In some cases, litigation may be necessary to protect or enforce Cloudmed’s trademarks. Such litigation could be costly, unpredictable, time-consuming, and distracting to management, regardless of whether Cloudmed is successful in such litigation. In addition, third parties may bring opposition, cancellation, or similar adversarial proceedings against Cloudmed’s trademarks and if such third parties are successful, Cloudmed may lose its trademark rights. In some cases, there may be third-party trademark owners who have prior rights to Cloudmed’s trademarks or third parties who have prior rights to similar trademarks, and Cloudmed may not be able to prevent such third parties from using and marketing any such trademarks. If Cloudmed is unable to establish name recognition based on its trademarks or trade names, as applicable, it may not be able to compete effectively and its business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

If Cloudmed is unable to protect the confidentiality of its proprietary information and know-how, the value of its products could be adversely affected.

Cloudmed is heavily dependent on the maintenance and protection of its intellectual property and, with respect to trade secrets and confidential proprietary information, relies largely on confidentiality procedures and employee non-disclosure agreements to protect its intellectual property, including its trade secrets, know-how, and other proprietary information. However, these agreements may be inadequate to protect Cloudmed’s proprietary information and intellectual property rights. Moreover, those agreements may be breached, and Cloudmed may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Cloudmed’s software is not patented in the U.S., and existing copyright laws offer only limited practical protection. As such, Cloudmed relies on its unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, processes, and know-how to create its unique platform that provides it with a competitive edge. Although Cloudmed uses reasonable efforts to protect this proprietary information and technology, it cannot guarantee that it has entered into non-disclosure agreements with each party who has developed intellectual property on Cloudmed’s behalf or each party that has or may have had access to Cloudmed’s confidential information, know-how or trade secrets. Cloudmed’s employees, consultants and other parties may unintentionally or willfully disclose Cloudmed’s information or technology to competitors and there can be no assurance that the legal protections and precaution taken by Cloudmed will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies equivalent or superior to Cloudmed’s. Engaging in litigation involving proprietary information or technology is difficult, expensive, distracting to management, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable and varied depending on the jurisdiction. Moreover, courts inside and outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. In addition, Cloudmed’s trade secrets may be disclosed to or otherwise become known, or substantially similar information or inventions may be independently developed by competitors. In such cases, Cloudmed may have no right to prevent such third parties, or those to who they communicate such trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information, from using such trade secrets and information to compete with Cloudmed, any of which could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition. To the extent that Cloudmed’s employees, consultants or contractors use intellectual property owned by others in their work for Cloudmed, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure, misappropriation or reverse engineering of trade secrets and proprietary information. As such, Cloudmed’s trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors and Cloudmed may be unable to obtain, maintain and enforce its intellectual property rights. Accordingly, if, for any of the above reasons, Cloudmed’s intellectual property is disclosed or misappropriated, it would harm Cloudmed’s ability to protect its confidential intellectual property rights and adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Cloudmed may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of the intellectual property of third parties.

Cloudmed, along with third parties that Cloudmed conducts business with, are subject to complex compliance and litigation risks, including intellectual property claims. There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in Cloudmed’s industry. As competing healthcare information systems increase in complexity and overall capabilities and the functionality of these systems further overlap, providers of such systems may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Cloudmed’s future success depends in part on not infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others. Cloudmed’s competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, including so-called non-practicing entities (“NPEs”) and other intellectual property rights holders, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to Cloudmed’s product offering and technologies and may attempt to assert intellectual property claims against Cloudmed, or seek to monetize the intellectual property rights they own to extract value through licensing or settlements. In recent years, individuals and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies like Cloudmed. Cloudmed may, from time to time, be subject to, or threatened with, legal proceedings and claims that arise in the

 

38


Table of Contents

ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by third parties, who may claim that Cloudmed is infringing upon, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights regardless of their merit. Even if Cloudmed believes such claims are without merit, a court may hold that Cloudmed or its vendors has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated such third-party intellectual property rights. Furthermore, although Cloudmed tries to ensure that its employees, consultants, advisors and independent contractors do not use the confidential or proprietary information, trade secrets or know-how of others in their work for Cloudmed, Cloudmed may be subject to claims that it or these individuals have, inadvertently or otherwise, improperly used or disclosed such intellectual property or proprietary rights of any such individual’s current or former employer or other third party and Cloudmed may not have adequate remedies for breach. Further, Cloudmed may be subject to ownership disputes in the future arising, for example, from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing its products. Cloudmed may also be subject to claims that former employees, consultants, independent contractors or other third parties have an ownership interest in Cloudmed’s intellectual property rights. Cloudmed’s business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that its technology or another aspect of its business infringes, misappropriates or violates the intellectual property rights of others. If Cloudmed is alleged or determined to have infringed upon the intellectual property rights of others, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

As competition in Cloudmed’s market grows, the possibility of patent infringement, trademark infringement and other intellectual property claims against Cloudmed increases. In the future, Cloudmed expects others to claim that Cloudmed’s product offerings and underlying technology infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. In a patent infringement claim against Cloudmed, Cloudmed may assert, as a defense, that it does not infringe the relevant patent claims, that the patent is invalid or both. The strength of Cloudmed’s defenses will depend on the patents asserted, the interpretation of these patents and Cloudmed’s ability to invalidate the asserted patents. However, Cloudmed could be unsuccessful in advancing non-infringement and/or invalidity arguments in its defense. In the United States, issued patents enjoy a presumption of validity, and the party challenging the validity of a patent claim must present clear and convincing evidence of invalidity, which is a high burden of proof. Conversely, the patent owner need only prove infringement by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lower burden of proof. Cloudmed may be unaware of the intellectual property rights that others may claim cover some or all of its technology or services. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded confidentiality for some period of time, there may currently be pending applications, unknown to Cloudmed, that later result in issued patents that could cover one or more aspects of Cloudmed’s technology and solutions. Any claims or litigation could cause Cloudmed to incur significant expenses. Some third parties may be able to sustain the costs of complex litigation more effectively than Cloudmed can because they have substantially greater resources. Responding to and defending any such claims may distract the attention of Cloudmed’s management and employees and have an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, claims may be brought against third parties from which Cloudmed purchase software, and such claims could adversely affect Cloudmed’s ability to access third-party software for its systems. If Cloudmed is found to have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated any third-party intellectual property, it may be required to obtain a license to such third-party intellectual property, pay substantial damages, ongoing royalty or license payments, fees, cease offering its products or using certain technologies, require Cloudmed to redesign or re-engineer all or a portion of its platform (which may not be economically feasible) or comply with other unfavorable terms. In addition, Cloudmed could be found liable for treble damages and attorneys’ fees if Cloudmed is found to have willfully infringed a patent or other intellectual property right. If Cloudmed is required to obtain a license from any third party, such license may not be available at all or on commercially reasonable terms. Cloudmed may also be obligated to indemnify its customers or business partners or pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify applications or refund fees, which could be costly. Even if Cloudmed was to prevail in such a dispute, any litigation regarding its intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of its management and key personnel from its business operations. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Cloudmed’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. During the course of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results

 

39


Table of Contents

of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of New R1 Common Stock. Negative publicity related to a decision by Cloudmed to initiate such enforcement actions against a customer or former customer, regardless of its accuracy, may adversely impact Cloudmed’s other customer relationships or prospective customer relationships, harm Cloudmed’s brand and business and could cause the market price of New R1 Common Stock to decline. Accordingly, Cloudmed’s failure to secure, protect and enforce its intellectual property rights could adversely affect its brand and its business. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operations, and financial condition.

Any failure to obtain and protect Cloudmed’s intellectual property rights could impair its ability to protect its proprietary technology, business and its brand.

Cloudmed’s success and ability to compete depends in part upon its intellectual property, and Cloudmed relies on a combination of contractual rights, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other proprietary rights to establish and protect its intellectual property rights. Cloudmed has applied to register trademarks in the United States related to its core service offerings and technology. Other parties, including Cloudmed’s competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate Cloudmed’s services or design around Cloudmed’s intellectual property, and in such cases, Cloudmed may not be able to assert its intellectual property rights against such parties. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer portions of Cloudmed’s products or otherwise infringe upon, misappropriate or use its intellectual property. Moreover, competitors may hire Cloudmed’s former employees who may misappropriate Cloudmed’s proprietary technology, and Cloudmed may not be able to discover or determine the extent of any unauthorized use of its proprietary rights.

Any impairment of Cloudmed’s intellectual property rights, or its failure to protect its intellectual property rights adequately, could give third parties access to Cloudmed’s technology and could impair Cloudmed’s ability to protect its proprietary technology business and its brand.

Further, Cloudmed’s contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of its confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of Cloudmed’s confidential information, and Cloudmed may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, its intellectual property rights. In addition, while it Cloudmed’s policy to require employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to Cloudmed, Cloudmed may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that Cloudmed regards as its own. Moreover, even when Cloudmed obtains agreements assigning intellectual property to itself, the assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing or the assignment agreements may be breached, and Cloudmed may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that third parties may bring against Cloudmed, to determine the ownership of what Cloudmed regards as its intellectual property, which could impair Cloudmed’s ability to protect its proprietary technology, business and its brand.

Cloudmed makes business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach Cloudmed selects may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where Cloudmed seeks patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of its product offering, technology, or proprietary information or provide Cloudmed with any competitive advantages. Moreover, Cloudmed cannot guarantee that any patent applications that it files in the future will be issued or approved, but once it files a patent application, the underlying invention would lose protection as a trade secret. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign governmental patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process and after a patent has been issued. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If this occurs, Cloudmed’s competitors might be able to better penetrate the market, which would adversely affect Cloudmed’s

 

40


Table of Contents

business. In addition, certain jurisdictions may not provide adequate legal infrastructure for effective protection of Cloudmed’s intellectual property rights. Further, intellectual property law, including statutory and case law, particularly in the United States, is constantly developing, and any changes in the law could make it harder for Cloudmed to enforce its rights. Changing legal interpretations of liability for unauthorized use of Cloudmed’s technologies or products or lessened sensitivity by corporate, government or institutional users to refraining from intellectual property piracy or other infringements of intellectual property could also harm Cloudmed’s business. Cloudmed may also conclude that, in some instances, the benefits of protecting its intellectual property rights may be outweighed by the expense.

In order to protect its intellectual property rights, Cloudmed may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights, including asserting intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claims against third parties. Litigation brought to protect and enforce Cloudmed’s intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of Cloudmed’s intellectual property. Furthermore, Cloudmed’s efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property rights. Third parties may also separately challenge the validity and enforceability of Cloudmed’s intellectual property in administrative and other legal proceedings. An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put Cloudmed’s intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could put Cloudmed’s related pending patent applications at risk of not being issued and allow third parties to commercialize Cloudmed’s technology or products and compete directly with Cloudmed without payment to Cloudmed. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Cloudmed’s confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. During the course of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of New R1 Common Stock. Negative publicity related to a decision by Cloudmed to initiate such enforcement actions against a customer or former customer, regardless of its accuracy, may adversely impact Cloudmed’s other customer relationships or prospective customer relationships, harm its brand and business and could cause the market price of New R1 Common Stock to decline. Accordingly, Cloudmed’s failure to secure, protect and enforce its intellectual property rights could adversely affect its ability to protect its proprietary technology, business and brand.

Cloudmed may not be able to obtain or maintain necessary licenses for third-party technology, including software and software components for use in or with its solutions, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and any restrictions on Cloudmed’s use of, or ability to, license data, or its failure to license data and integrate third-party technologies, could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed depends upon licenses from third parties for intellectual property, other technology and data used in its software applications and for some of the technology platforms upon which these software applications are built and operate. For example, Cloudmed’s software applications might incorporate or interact with certain third-party software and software components, such as data visualization software, obtained under licenses from other companies. If Cloudmed fails to comply with any of the obligations under its license agreements, it may be required to pay damages and the licensor may have the right to terminate the license. In addition, under Cloudmed’s license agreements, the licensor may have the right to terminate for convenience. Termination by the licensor may cause Cloudmed to lose valuable rights, and could prevent Cloudmed from selling its solutions, or inhibit its ability to commercialize future solutions. Cloudmed’s business may suffer if any current or future licenses terminate or if the licensors fail to abide by the terms of the license, or if Cloudmed is unable to enter into necessary licenses on acceptable terms. In addition, the agreements under which Cloudmed licenses intellectual property or technology from third parties are generally complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what Cloudmed believes to be the scope of its rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or increase what Cloudmed believes to be its financial or other obligations

 

41


Table of Contents

under the relevant agreement. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed expects that it may need to obtain additional licenses from third parties in the future in connection with the development of its solutions. Although it believes that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software it currently uses, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. Cloudmed may be unable to acquire or in-license any intellectual property from third parties that it identifies as necessary for its solutions on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if Cloudmed is able to in-license such necessary intellectual property, it could be on nonexclusive terms and could require Cloudmed to make substantial licensing and royalty payments. In addition, Cloudmed obtains a portion of the data that it uses from public records and its partners for specific partner engagements. Cloudmed cannot assure that its licenses for such information will allow it to use that information for all potential or contemplated applications and products. Further, certain of Cloudmed’s products depend on maintaining its data and analytics platform, which is populated with data disclosed to Cloudmed by healthcare providers and other partners with their consent. If these customers or partners revoke their consent for Cloudmed to maintain, use, de-identify and share this data, consistent with applicable law, Cloudmed’s data assets could be degraded.

In the future, data providers could withdraw their data from Cloudmed or restrict Cloudmed’s 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 Cloudmed currently uses in its solutions. In addition, data providers could fail to adhere to Cloudmed’s quality control standards in the future, causing Cloudmed 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 Cloudmed’s quality control standards, and if Cloudmed is unable to identify and contract with suitable alternative data suppliers and integrate these data sources into its service offerings, Cloudmed’s ability to provide its solutions to its partners would be materially adversely impacted, which could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed also integrates into its proprietary applications and uses third-party software to maintain and enhance, among other things, content generation and delivery, and to support its technology infrastructure. Some of this software is proprietary and some is open source software. Cloudmed’s use of third-party technologies exposes it to increased risks, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into its solutions, the diversion of Cloudmed’s resources from development of its own proprietary technology and its inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. These technologies may not be available to Cloudmed in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all and could be difficult to replace once integrated into Cloudmed’s own proprietary applications. Most of these licenses can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if Cloudmed breaches the terms of the license and fails to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Cloudmed’s 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 its business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed’s third-party licenses are typically non-exclusive and its competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses to compete directly with Cloudmed. If Cloudmed’s data suppliers choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future, Cloudmed might not be able to modify or adapt its own solutions. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Additionally, Cloudmed’s software may contain errors or failures that are not detected until after the software is introduced or updated and new versions are released, and such errors could cause serious problems for Cloudmed’s customers. It is challenging for Cloudmed to test its software for all potential problems because it is difficult to simulate the wide variety of computing environments or methodologies that Cloudmed’s customers may deploy or rely upon. In addition, because of the large amount of data Cloudmed collects and

 

42


Table of Contents

manages, it is possible that hardware failures and errors in Cloudmed’s systems would result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that Cloudmed collects to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that Cloudmed’s customers regard as significant. From time to time, Cloudmed has discovered defects or errors in its software, and additional defects or errors can be expected to appear in the future. Defects and errors that are not timely detected and remedied could expose Cloudmed to risk of liability to customers, providers and patients and cause delays in introduction of new services, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or customer satisfaction with Cloudmed’s services. If problems like these occur, Cloudmed’s customers may seek compensation from Cloudmed or may seek to terminate their agreements with Cloudmed, withhold payments due to Cloudmed, seek refunds from Cloudmed of part or all of the fees charged under such agreements, or initiate litigation or other dispute resolution procedures. In addition, Cloudmed may be subject to claims brought by others affected by any such problems. If any of these risks occur, they could materially adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Cloudmed’s Operating Results and Financial Condition

Cloudmed has experienced net losses since its inception and it may not achieve profitability in the future.

Cloudmed has incurred net losses since its inception. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Cloudmed had net losses of $31.2 million, $26.4 million and $30.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, Cloudmed’s accumulated deficit was $110.6 million. Cloudmed’s operating expenses may increase substantially in the foreseeable future as it continues to invest to grow its business and build relationships with its customers, develop its platform and develop new solutions. In addition, to the extent Cloudmed is successful in increasing its customer base, it could incur increased losses because significant costs associated with entering into customer agreements are generally incurred up front, while revenue is generally recognized over the term of the agreement. As a result, Cloudmed may need to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings in order to fund its operations. If it is unable to effectively manage these risks and difficulties as encountered, Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition may suffer.

Cloudmed’s operating results have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly, and if it fails to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, New R1’s stock price and the value of an investment in New R1 Common Stock could decline substantially.

Cloudmed’s operating results are likely to fluctuate and, if it fails to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of New R1 Common Stock could decline. Moreover, New R1’s stock price may be based on expectations of Cloudmed’s future performance that may be unrealistic or that may not be met. Some of the factors that could cause Cloudmed’s revenue and operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:

 

   

the extent to which Cloudmed’s solutions achieve or maintain market acceptance;

 

   

Cloudmed’s ability to introduce new updates, and enhancements to its existing solutions on a timely basis;

 

   

new competitors and the introduction of solutions from new or existing competitors;

 

   

the length of Cloudmed’s contracting and implementation cycles and its fulfillment periods for its solutions;

 

   

shifts in Cloudmed’s revenue mix;

 

   

the financial condition of Cloudmed’s current and future customers;

 

   

changes in customer budgets and procurement policies;

 

   

changes in marketing or pricing strategies, including strategy changes driven by competitive landscape;

changes in the regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, changes in reimbursement of healthcare solutions, changes to government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to the interpretation and enforcement of healthcare fraud and abuse laws by regulatory agencies;

 

   

regulatory compliance costs;

 

   

changes in costs from third-party vendors;

 

   

significant or sustained disruption in payer behavior, including timing of payments, which defers Cloudmed’s ability to collect payment for its customers’ services;

 

   

unforeseen legal expenses, including litigation and settlement costs; and

 

   

buying patterns of Cloudmed’s customers and the related seasonality impacts on its business.

Many of these factors are not within Cloudmed’s control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause Cloudmed’s operating results operating results to vary widely. As such, Cloudmed believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its revenue and operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

A significant portion of Cloudmed’s operating expense is relatively fixed in nature, and planned expenditures are based in part on expectations regarding future revenue and profitability. Accordingly, unexpected revenue shortfalls, planned expenditures not achieving forecasted revenue increases and longer-than-expected impact on profitability and margins as a result of planned expenditures may decrease Cloudmed’s profitability and margins and could cause significant changes in its operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition, Cloudmed’s future quarterly operating results may fluctuate and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the trading price of New R1 Common Stock could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time.

Cloudmed identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2020. Though remediated in 2021, if the material weakness recurred or if another material weakness were identified, it could result in material misstatements in New R1’s financial statements or impair New R1’s ability to produce accurate and timely consolidated financial statements and may adversely affect investor confidence in New R1 and the value of New R1 Common Stock.

Ensuring that Cloudmed has adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that the combined company can produce accurate consolidated financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be evaluated frequently. As a private company, Cloudmed has not historically prepared public company financial statements and has had limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address its internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the preparation of Cloudmed’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, Cloudmed identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.

Cloudmed believes that it has implemented measures designed to improve its internal control over financial reporting and believes that it has remediated the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness. There were no material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting identified for the year ended December 31, 2021. However, Cloudmed cannot be certain that the measures taken to date, and actions it may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting or that such measures will prevent or avoid other potential future material weaknesses. Furthermore, the SEC rules with respect to testing certain internal controls at Cloudmed by New R1 allow for a one-year deferral period due to the Transactions. If New R1 is unable to produce accurate and timely consolidated financial statements, investor confidence in New R1 and the value of New R1 Common Stock may be adversely affected.

Economic conditions in the United States could impact Cloudmed’s customers and negatively affect Cloudmed’s operating results.

Most of Cloudmed’s customer contracts are performance-based, where Cloudmed is paid a percentage of the collections the customer realizes while using Cloudmed’s solutions. Many factors may lead to decreases in a customer’s collections, including:

 

   

interruption of customer access to Cloudmed’s system for any reason;

 

   

Cloudmed’s failure to provide services in a timely, accurate, or high-quality manner;

 

   

failure of Cloudmed’s customers to adopt or maintain effective business practices;

 

   

actions by third-party payers of medical claims to reduce reimbursement;

 

   

government regulations and government or other payer actions or inaction reducing, or delaying reimbursement; and

 

   

reduction of customer revenue resulting from increased competition or other changes in the marketplace for physician services.

Changes in economic conditions and government requirements may increase the likelihood of several of the above factors. For example, loss of health insurance coverage due to unemployment or increased deductibles imposed by financially struggling employers or insurers could reduce the number of visits certain patients make to Cloudmed’s customers. Patients without health insurance or with reduced coverage may also default on their payment obligations at a higher rate than patients with coverage. Added financial stress on Cloudmed’s customers could lead to their acquisition or bankruptcy, which could cause the termination of some of Cloudmed’s service relationships. Further, despite the cost benefits that Cloudmed believes its solutions provide, prospective customers may delay contract decisions due to implementation costs or be reluctant to make any material changes in their established business methods based upon the economic climate. With a reduction in tax revenue, state and federal government healthcare programs, including reimbursement programs such as Medicaid or initiatives under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended (the “ACA”), may be reduced or eliminated, which could negatively impact the payments that Cloudmed’s customers receive. If Cloudmed’s customers’ revenue decreases for any of the above or other reasons, or if its customers cancel or elect not to renew their contracts or certain services, Cloudmed’s revenue will decrease.

Cloudmed may be liable to its customers or third parties if it makes errors in providing its services, and its anticipated revenue may be lower if it provides poor service.

The services Cloudmed offers are complex, and Cloudmed makes errors from time to time. Errors can result from within Cloudmed’s proprietary technology platform, within its customers’ systems or the interface between Cloudmed’s platform and a customer’s or vendor’s systems, or Cloudmed or its customers or vendors may make human errors in any aspect of Cloudmed’s service offerings. For example, features and safeguards that Cloudmed has implemented to reduce the risk of inaccurate or incomplete claims content may not be sufficient to prevent the submission of such claims to payers. The costs incurred in correcting any material errors may be substantial and could adversely affect Cloudmed’s operating results. They may also leave Cloudmed vulnerable to potential

liability and financial and reputational damages. Cloudmed’s customers, or third parties such as its customers’ patients, may assert claims against Cloudmed alleging that they suffered damages due to Cloudmed’s errors, and such claims could subject Cloudmed to significant legal defense costs and adverse publicity regardless of the merits or eventual outcome of such claims. In addition, if Cloudmed provides poor service to one or more customers and the customer or customers have poor operational performance, Cloudmed’s incentive fees and base fees will be less, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Risks Relating to Regulation

Government regulation of healthcare is subject to frequent change and future healthcare reform could have a material adverse impact on Cloudmed’s customers and as a result, adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The healthcare industry is highly regulated and subject to changing political, legislative, regulatory and other influences. On an ongoing basis, federal, state and local legislative bodies pass legislation, and administrative agencies promulgate regulations, that relate to healthcare reform or otherwise affect the healthcare industry. The trend in recent years has been for increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry. Many of the federal healthcare reform initiatives over the last decade have impacted Cloudmed and its customers and continue to evolve.

By way of example, the ACA made a number of substantial changes to the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, and on June 17, 2021, the United States Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, President Biden had issued an executive order relating to the ACA, including an instruction to certain governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to healthcare. It is unclear how healthcare reform measures enacted by Congress or implemented by the Biden administration, or other challenges, if any, will impact the ACA. Cloudmed cannot predict with certainty whether any such healthcare reforms will be enacted or what impact they may have on Cloudmed, but healthcare reform and changes in federal or state healthcare regulation could impose new and more stringent regulatory requirements on Cloudmed’s activities, require it to change its business practices or financial arrangements with customers, and reduce reimbursement to its customers, thereby reducing Cloudmed’s compensation or negatively impacting the market for its services. Additionally, federal and state healthcare policies and reform measures also could have a material adverse impact on Cloudmed’s customers and as a result, Cloudmed’s operational results, or the manner in which it operates its business, and could subject Cloudmed to the risk of restructuring or terminating its customer arrangements, as well as the risk of regulatory enforcement, penalties and sanctions if state and federal enforcement agencies disagree with Cloudmed’s interpretation of these laws.

If Cloudmed or its customers fail to comply with federal and state laws governing submission of false or fraudulent claims to government healthcare programs and financial relationships among healthcare providers, Cloudmed or its customers may be subject to civil and criminal penalties or loss of eligibility to participate in government healthcare programs.

As a participant in the healthcare industry, Cloudmed’s operations and relationships, and those of its customers, are regulated by a number of federal, state and local governmental entities. The impact of these regulations can adversely affect Cloudmed’s business. In addition, the inability of Cloudmed’s customers to use Cloudmed’s technology solutions in a manner that complies with those laws and regulations could affect the marketability of Cloudmed’s technology solutions or Cloudmed’s compliance with its customer contracts, or even expose Cloudmed to claims, litigation and substantial liability. A number of federal and state laws, including anti-kickback statutes and laws prohibiting the submission of false or fraudulent claims, apply to

 

46


Table of Contents

healthcare providers and others that make, offer, seek or receive referrals or payments for items or services that may be paid for by any federal or state healthcare program and, in some instances, any private program. These laws are complex, may change rapidly, and their application to Cloudmed’s specific products, services and relationships may not be clear and may be applied to Cloudmed’s business in ways that Cloudmed does not anticipate. Of particular importance are the following:

 

   

Medicare (Title XVIII of the Social Security Act), Medicaid (Title XIX of the Social Security Act), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), TRICARE (the program for military dependents and retirees), and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

 

   

In the absence of an applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor, the federal AKS prohibits one person from “knowingly and willfully” offering or paying any “remuneration” to another person to induce the recipient to (i) refer an individual for the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part under Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal health care program, or (ii) purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility, service, or item for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a federal health care program. The AKS also prohibits a person from soliciting or receiving remuneration in exchange for engaging in any of these activities. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.

 

   

The FCA prohibits (i) knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval, or (ii) knowingly making, using, or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim. Further, under its so-called “reverse false clams” provision, the FCA imposes liability on any person who knowingly conceals or knowingly and improperly avoids or decreases an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the government. An obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the government, in turn, may arise if a person identifies an overpayment and fails to report and return the overpayment to the government within 60 days. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AKS constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the FCA. The government has prosecuted revenue cycle management companies for causing the submission of false or fraudulent claims in violation of the FCA for, among other things, misrepresenting the capabilities of its software, entering into illegal referral arrangements, and paying kickbacks to certain customers in exchange for promoting its product. Moreover, suits filed under the FCA, known as qui tam actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals, commonly known as “whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government.

 

   

The federal Civil Monetary Penalties (“CMP”) law authorizes the imposition of civil monetary penalties, assessments and exclusion against any individual or entity based on a variety of prohibited conduct, including, but not limited to, presenting a claim one knows or should know is for an item or service not provided as claimed or that is false and fraudulent, and violating the federal AKS.

 

   

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH Act”) and regulations that implement both laws thereunder (collectively, “HIPAA”), prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program or falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services. Similar to the federal AKS, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.

 

   

Similar state law provisions pertain to (i) anti-kickback and false claims issues, (ii) whistleblower provisions whereby a private individual may file a civil lawsuit in state court, and (iii) state privacy laws, some of which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any payer, including patients and commercial insurers.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of their exceptions and safe harbors, it is possible that some of Cloudmed’s business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more such laws. These laws are complex and may change rapidly, and their application to Cloudmed’s specific services and relationships may not be clear and may be applied to its business in ways it does not anticipate. New and evolving payment structures, for example, such as accountable care organizations and other arrangements involving combinations of healthcare providers who share savings, potentially implicate anti-kickback, false claims and other fraud and abuse laws. In addition (i) errors caused by Cloudmed’s proprietary applications or algorithms or services, (ii) errors in the information that Cloudmed receives from its customers that relate to entry, formatting, preparation, or transmission of claims, (iii) prospective reviews and recommendations, (iv) retrospective reviews of previously submitted claims, or (v) reporting of quality or other data pursuant to value-based purchasing initiatives or cost report information (or delays in processing such information) may be alleged or determined to cause the submission of false claims or otherwise be in violation of these laws. Further, the continued growth of Cloudmed’s coding and billing services necessitates comprehensive monitoring and oversight of these services to ensure quality control and regulatory compliance. Achieving and sustaining compliance with these laws may prove costly.

Cloudmed provides billing and coding services and other solutions to providers that relate to, or directly involve, the reimbursement of health services covered by Medicare, Medicaid, other federal and state healthcare programs and commercial payers. Cloudmed also provides solutions, including analytics, chart reviews, payment accuracy and audit functions that impact the amounts paid by Medicare and Medicaid. Cloudmed relies on its customers to provide Cloudmed with accurate and complete information and to appropriately use analytics, codes, reports and other information in connection with the solutions Cloudmed provides to them, but its customers may not always do so. As a result of these aspects of Cloudmed’s business, Cloudmed may be subject to, or contractually required to comply with, numerous federal and state laws that prohibit false or fraudulent claims including but not limited to the FCA, the federal CMP and state equivalents. For example, errors or the unintended consequences of data manipulations by Cloudmed or its systems with respect to the entry, formatting, preparation or transmission of claims, coding, audit, eligibility and other information may result in allegations of false or fraudulent claims. False or fraudulent claims under the FCA and other laws include, but are not limited to, billing for services not rendered, making or causing to be made (or used) a false record or statement that is material to a false claim, failing to refund known overpayments, misrepresenting actual services rendered, or improper coding and billing for medically unnecessary items or services. Some of these laws, including the federal CMP, require a lower burden of proof than other fraud, waste and abuse laws. Federal and state authorities increasingly assert liability under the federal CMP, especially where they believe they cannot meet the higher burden of proof requirements under the various criminal healthcare fraud provisions.

The Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has a longstanding concern that percentage-based billing arrangements may increase the risk of improper billing practices, potentially leading to allegations of violations of the AKS and submissions of false claims in violation of the FCA. The OIG has identified several risk areas associated with medical billing, including routine waiver of copayments and deductibles, unbundling, billing for services not supported by medical records or that are medically unnecessary, and upcoding. The OIG and HHS recommend that medical billing and revenue cycle management companies develop and implement comprehensive compliance programs to mitigate this risk. If Cloudmed’s software, technology, revenue intelligence automation and other solutions, payment recovery, billing, coding and other services, its financial arrangements with physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals in the position to refer business to Cloudmed, or its performance-based fee arrangements with its customers where Cloudmed is paid a percentage of the customer’s realized collections while using Cloudmed’s solutions, are found to be in violation of any of the government regulations that apply to it, Cloudmed may be subject to substantial penalties, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, additional integrity oversight and reporting obligations, and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, any of which could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results or financial condition. Any action against Cloudmed or its customers for violation of these laws or regulations, even if successfully defended, could cause Cloudmed to

 

48


Table of Contents

incur significant legal expenses, divert management’s attention from the operation of Cloudmed’s business and result in adverse publicity, any of which could adversely affect demand for Cloudmed’s solutions, invalidate all or portions of some of its contracts with its customers, require Cloudmed to change or terminate some portions of its business, require Cloudmed to refund portions of its revenue, cause Cloudmed to be disqualified from serving customers doing business with government payers and give Cloudmed’s customers the right to terminate their contracts Cloudmed, any one of which could have an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business.

Failure by either Cloudmed or its customers to obtain proper permissions and waivers may result in claims against Cloudmed or may limit or prevent its use of data, which could harm Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

If Cloudmed or its customers do not provide appropriate notice or obtain necessary permissions and/or waivers for the collection, use, storage, disclosure or otherwise processing (“Process”, “Processing”, or “Processes”) of personal, sensitive, or regulated data to Cloudmed, then Cloudmed’s Processing of information it receives from such customers or on their behalf may be limited or prohibited by state or federal law. This could impair Cloudmed’s functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and may prevent the further Processing of such data, including Cloudmed’s ability to provide such data to third parties that are incorporated into Cloudmed’s service offerings and/or perform critical analytical work on Cloudmed’s systems. Furthermore, this may cause Cloudmed to breach obligations to a third party to whom it may provide such data, such as third-party service or technology providers that are incorporated into Cloudmed’s service offerings. In addition, this could interfere with or prevent creation or use of rules and analyses or limit other data-driven activities that benefit Cloudmed. Moreover, Cloudmed may be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notice, permission or waiver. These claims or liabilities could subject Cloudmed to unexpected costs and adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results, and financial condition and could result in significant liability or reputational harm.

The data privacy landscape is rapidly evolving both globally and within the United States, and Cloudmed is or may become subject to numerous data privacy and protection laws, requirements and regulations governing the Processing of health-related and other personal, sensitive or regulated information. Cloudmed Processes significant and increasing volumes of such information, such as employee and patient data. It has legal and contractual obligations regarding the protection of confidentiality and appropriate use of such data. As it seeks to expand its business, Cloudmed is, and may increasingly become subject to, various laws, regulations and standards, as well as contractual obligations, relating to data privacy and security in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws, regulations and standards are continuously evolving and may be interpreted and applied differently over time, and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may have an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s reputation, business, operating results and financial condition.

In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including health information privacy laws, data breach notification laws and consumer protection laws that govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of a subset of individually identifiable health information referred to as protected health information (“PHI”) and other personally identifiable information could apply to Cloudmed’s operations or the operations of its customers and third-party providers. For example, the Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA impose obligations on “covered entities,” including certain healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses, and their respective “business associates” that create, receive, handle, maintain or transmit PHI for or on behalf of a covered entity, as well as their covered subcontractors with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of PHI. Regulations promulgated pursuant to HIPAA require covered entities and business associates, like Cloudmed, to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the privacy of PHI, and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic PHI maintained or

transmitted by them or by others on their behalf, and certain notification requirements in the event of a data breach.

Violations of HIPAA may result in significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of HIPAA. Penalties will vary significantly depending on factors such as the date of the violation, whether the business associate knew or should have known of the failure to comply, or whether the business associate’s failure to comply was due to willful neglect. The civil penalties are adjusted annually based on updates to the consumer price index. HHS enforcement activity can result in financial liability and reputational harm, and responses to such enforcement activity can consume significant internal resources. Cloudmed cannot be sure how these regulations will be interpreted, enforced or applied to its operations. In addition to the risks associated with enforcement activities and potential contractual liabilities, Cloudmed’s ongoing efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations at the federal and state level may be costly and require ongoing modifications to its policies, procedures, and systems.

The security measures that Cloudmed and its third-party vendors and subcontractors have in place in an effort to ensure compliance with privacy and data protection laws may not fully protect Cloudmed’s facilities and systems from security breaches, acts of vandalism or theft, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and human errors or other similar events. As a business associate, Cloudmed may also be liable for privacy and security breaches and failures of its subcontractors. A breach of privacy or security of PHI or other personally identifiable information by a subcontractor may result in an enforcement action, including criminal and civil liability, against Cloudmed. Cloudmed is not able to predict the extent of the impact such incidents may have on its business. Cloudmed’s failure to comply may result in criminal and civil liability because the potential for enforcement action against business associates is now greater. Enforcement actions against Cloudmed could be costly and could interrupt regular operations, which may adversely affect Cloudmed’s business. While Cloudmed has not received any notices of violation of the applicable privacy and data protection laws and it believes that it is in compliance with such laws, there can be no assurance that it will not receive such notices in the future. There is ongoing concern from privacy advocates, regulators, and others regarding data privacy and security issues, and the number of jurisdictions with data privacy and security laws has been increasing. Many privacy advocates and government regulators believe that the existing laws and regulations do not adequately protect privacy. They have become increasingly concerned with the commercial use of personal information. As a result, privacy laws are rapidly evolving and proliferating as states propose and enact laws aimed at protecting patient and consumer rights and providing rights to individuals to control certain aspects of how their personal information is Processed.

In addition to the HIPAA privacy and security standards, most states have enacted patient confidentiality laws that protect against the disclosure of confidential medical and other personally identifiable information and many states have adopted or are considering new privacy laws, including legislation that would mandate new privacy safeguards, security standards, and data security breach notification requirements. Such state laws, if more stringent than HIPAA requirements, are not preempted by the federal requirements, and Cloudmed is required to comply with them.

Additional legislation governing the acquisition, storage, and transmission or other dissemination of health record information and other personal information, including social security numbers and other identifiers, continues to be proposed and promulgated at the state level. There can be no assurance that changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict the ability of providers to interact with patient information using Cloudmed’s solutions.

In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous other laws and legislative and regulatory initiatives at the federal and state levels addressing privacy and security concerns. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), which took effect on January 1, 2020, creates individual privacy rights for California residents and increases the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain personal information, and

 

50


Table of Contents

requires companies that Process information on California residents to make new disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use, disclosure and sharing practices of the personal information of individuals, and to allow consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties. The CCPA also provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. PHI that is subject to HIPAA is excluded from the CCPA; however, information Cloudmed holds about individual residents of California that is not subject to HIPAA would be subject to the CCPA. The CCPA may increase Cloudmed’s compliance costs and potential liability, and many similar laws have been proposed at the federal level and in other states. Further, the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”), which will take effect on January 1, 2023 and will amend the CCPA, will impose additional data protection obligations on covered businesses, including additional consumer rights processes, limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher risk data and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. It will also create a new California data protection agency authorized to issue substantive regulations and could result in increased privacy and information security enforcement. Additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required to comply with the CPRA. Some observers have noted that the CCPA and CPRA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent state privacy legislation in the United States. Similar laws passed in Virginia and Colorado, and have been proposed in other states and at the federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging. Any liability from failure to comply with the requirements of these laws could adversely affect Cloudmed’s financial condition.

In addition, all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have enacted breach notification laws that may require Cloudmed to notify patients, employees or regulators in the event of unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal or confidential information experienced by Cloudmed or its service providers. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is difficult and may be costly. Moreover, states have been frequently amending existing laws, requiring attention to changing regulatory requirements. Cloudmed also may be contractually required to notify patients or other counterparties of a security breach. Although it may have contractual protections with its service providers, any actual or perceived security breach could harm Cloudmed’s reputation and brand, expose it to potential liability, or require Cloudmed to expend significant resources on data security and in responding to any such actual or perceived breach. Any contractual protections Cloudmed may have from its service providers may not be sufficient to adequately protect it from any such liabilities and losses, and Cloudmed may be unable to enforce any such contractual protections. In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups have and may in the future propose self-regulatory standards from time to time. These and other industry standards may legally or contractually apply to Cloudmed, or Cloudmed may elect to comply with such standards.

Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of health-related and other personal information. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security and access. Consumer protection laws require Cloudmed to publish statements that describe how it handles personal information and choices individuals may have about the way Cloudmed handles their personal information. If such information that Cloudmed publishes is considered untrue, it may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act.

Although Cloudmed works to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, its contractual obligations and other legal obligations, these requirements are evolving and may be modified, interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another or other legal obligations with which Cloudmed must comply. Any failure or perceived failure by Cloudmed or its employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, collaborators or other third parties to comply with such requirements or adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, could result in

 

51


Table of Contents

enforcement action against Cloudmed, including additional fines and liability to Cloudmed, public censure, claims for damages by affected individuals, damage to reputation, loss of goodwill and loss of access to data, portals, or processes necessary to conduct Cloudmed’s business, any of which could have an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, reputation, financial condition and operating results.

Cloudmed has established certain data registries and if those registries fail to meet regulatory requirements or if Cloudmed otherwise commits errors in collecting or transmitting registry data to CMS Cloudmed could suffer severe negative consequences.

Cloudmed owns and operates certain clinical data registries and has developed optional product functionality and associated services that, together, collect and transmit data to these registries in order to support Cloudmed’s customers’ reporting obligations under MIPS and other programs. Cloudmed believes that these registries meet the necessary statutory requirements. However, there is no third-party certifying body to provide assurance that its registries meet the necessary criteria. If a regulatory authority determines that Cloudmed’s registries do not meet the necessary criteria then such a determination could adversely affect Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, if Cloudmed commits any errors in its collection or transmission of this data to CMS then its customers could face substantial financial penalties, which could result in an adverse effect on Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, if Cloudmed fails to perform the appropriate data validation regarding information transmitted to CMS via Cloudmed’s registry, Cloudmed could lose its ability to offer registry services, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

Cloudmed’s services present the potential for embezzlement, identity theft or other similar illegal behavior by its employees or subcontractors with respect to third parties.

Cloudmed’s services involve the use and disclosure of personal and business information that could be used to impersonate third parties or otherwise gain access to their data or funds. If any of Cloudmed’s employees or subcontractors takes, converts, or misuses such funds, documents, or data, Cloudmed could be liable for damages, and its business reputation could be damaged or destroyed. In addition, Cloudmed could be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal misappropriation of funds, documents, or data and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability.

Failure to comply with laws governing debt collection could harm Cloudmed’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Aspects of Cloudmed’s business, including its revenue intelligence services, may be subject to laws, rules and regulations applicable to debt collectors, including, state licensing requirements. Such laws and regulations are extensive and subject to change. In a number of jurisdictions, Cloudmed must maintain licenses to perform collection services and must satisfy related bonding requirements. Cloudmed’s failure to comply with existing licensing requirements, changing interpretations of existing requirements, or adoption of new licensing requirements, could restrict Cloudmed’s ability to offer revenue intelligence and other services in certain jurisdictions, which would adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

General Risks

Cloudmed may be unable to manage its future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute its business strategy.

Cloudmed has experienced rapid growth in its business operations and the number of customers that use its solutions, and it may continue to experience growth in the future. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on its management and its operational and financial infrastructure. Cloudmed’s ability to manage its growth effectively and to integrate new employees and technologies into its existing business will

 

52


Table of Contents

require it to continue to expand its operational and financial infrastructure, focus on increasing automation and continue to retain, attract, train, motivate and manage employees. Continued growth could strain Cloudmed’s ability to develop and improve its operational, financial, and management controls; enhance its reporting systems and procedures; recruit, train, and retain highly skilled personnel, and maintain consumer satisfaction. Maintaining or increasing automation in Cloudmed’s solutions and continuing to improve how it applies data science to its operations will be important to remain scalable.

THE TRANSACTIONS

General

The following summary describes the material provisions of the Transaction Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), the A&R Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the Voting Agreement (as defined below), each of which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the respective agreements, copies of which are attached as Annexes A, B, C, D and E hereto, respectively, and each of which is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. The provisions of each of these agreements are extensive and not easily summarized. Accordingly, the below summaries may not contain all of the information about the agreements that is important to you. You are encouraged to read each of the aforementioned agreements carefully in its entirety for a more complete understanding of the agreements.

Structure of the Transactions

In connection with a reorganization of its holding company structure, and to complete the acquisition of Cloudmed, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and Section 251(g) of the DGCL, R1 has formed New R1, and New R1 has formed R1 Merger Sub.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions specified in the Transaction Agreement, R1 Merger Sub will merge with and into R1 with R1 as the surviving entity. As a result, R1 will, by operation of law, become a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1, after which R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Holdco Inc.” (or such other name as R1 determines prior to closing) and New R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Inc.” The officers and directors of New R1 as of immediately after consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization will be the same as the officers and directors of R1 immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization. In addition, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the certificate of incorporation (except for certain technical matters) and bylaws of New R1 will contain identical provisions as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of R1 immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization other than as required or permitted by Section 251(g) of the DGCL, and R1’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws will be amended and restated as set forth in the Transaction Agreement and R1’s bylaws will remain the same as the bylaws in effect prior to the Holding Company Reorganization (other than with respect to its name) until thereafter changed or amended as provided by the bylaws or applicable law. Each share of R1 Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization will be converted into one share of New R1 Common Stock. New R1 Common Stock will be listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market and will trade under R1’s current ticker symbol “RCM.” Holders of R1 Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization will not be required to exchange their certificates representing shares of R1 Common Stock for certificates representing shares of New R1 Common Stock. The certificates representing your shares of R1 Common Stock will continue to represent an equal number of shares of New R1 Common Stock. Each person entered as the owner in a book entry that, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, represented any outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock shall be deemed to have received an equivalent number of shares of New R1 Common Stock.

Immediately following the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization and upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Transactions specified in the Transaction Agreement, the Sellers will contribute 100% of the equity of Cloudmed Parent in exchange for shares of New R1 Common Stock equal to approximately 30% of the fully diluted shares of R1 Common Stock as of the date of the Transaction Agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement. As a result of the Contribution, Cloudmed will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1.

Table of Contents

R1 Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, each stock option of R1, each restricted stock unit of R1 under any compensation or benefit agreement, plan or arrangement of R1 shall cease to represent or relate to a share of R1 Common Stock and shall be converted automatically to represent or relate to a share of New R1 Common Stock, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such stock option or restricted stock unit. To accomplish the foregoing, effective as of the initial effective time of the Holding Company Reorganization, the parties intend that R1 shall assign, and New R1 shall assume, all of its rights and obligations under each such agreement, plan and arrangement pursuant to which any such stock option or restricted stock unit is granted under R1’s Third Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended or modified from time to time, and all agreements thereunder. In addition, all obligations of R1 under any deferred compensation plan, retirement savings plan or employment agreement and change of control / severance agreement will be assigned to New R1.

Contribution Consideration

The consideration payable by New R1 to the Sellers at the closing of the Contribution will consist of approximately 138,400,874 shares of New R1 Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $23.35 on January 7, 2022, the last trading day before public announcement of the Transaction Agreement, and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied equity value of Cloudmed of approximately $3.23 billion. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $                 on                 , 2022, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus and assuming that there would be no adjustment to the number of shares issued in connection with the Contribution, the Consideration represented an implied value of approximately $                . The implied value of the Consideration will fluctuate with the market price of R1 Common Stock.

Ownership of New R1 after the Transactions

Approximately 138,400,874 shares of New R1 Common Stock will be issued to the Sellers upon consummation of the Contribution, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Based on the 278,220,832 shares of R1 Common Stock outstanding on January 7, 2022, a total of approximately 416.6 million shares of New R1 Common Stock would be outstanding after the Contribution and the Sellers would hold, in the aggregate, approximately 33.2% of the outstanding shares of New R1 Common Stock immediately after the closing of the Contribution and approximately 30% of the shares of New R1 Common Stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the closing of the Contribution.

The adjustments to the numbers of shares that will be issued to the Sellers will not be known until the consummation of the Contribution, and then will be finalized during an approximately 90-day period thereafter. The number of shares will be adjusted based on (i) Cloudmed’s net debt as of closing, (ii) R1’s and Cloudmed’s transaction expenses, (iii) certain share issuances by R1 between signing and closing, (iv) certain cash payments to be made with respect to existing Cloudmed equity awards and (v) the number of unvested Cloudmed restricted units cancelled and replaced with restricted stock units of New R1 issued pursuant to New R1’s equity incentive plan. Based on the closing price of R1 Common Stock of $                 on                 , 2022, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, if all of the eligible Cloudmed restricted units are cancelled and replaced with restricted stock units of R1, then                  restricted stock units of New R1 will be issued as replacement awards and                  shares of New R1 Common Stock will be issued to the Sellers upon consummation of the Contribution, subject to the other adjustments described in the preceding sentence. As a result, based on the 279,397,653 shares of R1 Common Stock outstanding on April 6, 2022, a total of approximately                  million shares of New R1 Common Stock would be outstanding after the Contribution and the Sellers would hold, in the aggregate, approximately         % of the outstanding shares of New R1 Common Stock immediately after the closing of the Contribution.

Table of Contents

Stockholder Approval

The Holding Company Reorganization does not require the approval of R1’s stockholders. However, the Contribution cannot be completed unless R1 stockholders approve the Stock Issuance Proposal. The Transactions will be consummated only if the Stock Issuance Proposal is approved at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting. If the Stock Issuance Proposal is not approved by R1 stockholders, neither the Holding Company Reorganization nor the Contribution will occur.

Appraisal Rights

Under Delaware law, none of the stockholders of R1 or the equity holders of Cloudmed have appraisal rights in connection with the Transactions.

Certain Legal Proceedings

On April 13, 2021 and April 19, 2021, respectively, certain purported stockholders of R1 filed two complaints in the Delaware Court of Chancery regarding the Conversion Transaction with TCP-ASC. Both complaints allege that TCP-ASC, Ascension Health Alliance (“Ascension”), and TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. (“TowerBrook”) controlled R1 and that their representatives on R1’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by using their alleged control to cause R1 to overpay in redeeming TCP-ASC’s preferred stock as part of the Conversion Transaction (as defined in the section titled “Related Party Transactions—Preferred Stock Agreement” beginning on page 208 of this proxy statement/prospectus). The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages against TCP-ASC, Ascension, and TowerBrook. The plaintiffs also allege that R1 and TCP-ASC entered into amendments to the Original Investor Rights Agreement, which the plaintiffs contend contain provisions that are void under R1’s charter, bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The cases have since been consolidated into a single action, the defendants have answered the operative complaint and discovery has commenced.

On February 18, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a supplement to the operative complaint, naming certain additional defendants and asserting additional claims related to R1’s agreement to acquire Cloudmed, which was announced on January 10, 2022. The additional claims assert that: (i) TCP-ASC, Ascension, and TowerBrook, along with R1’s directors (“Individual Defendants”), breached their fiduciary duties by causing R1 to enter into and approve the Cloudmed acquisition, which plaintiffs claim will perpetuate TCP-ASC’s, Ascension’s, and TowerBrook’s control over R1 and entrench the Individual Defendants by virtue of certain agreements entered into as part of the transaction, including the A&R Investor Rights Agreement and the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement; and (ii) the Sellers aided and abetted such breaches. Plaintiffs also allege that certain provisions in the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement and the A&R Investor Rights Agreement are void under R1’s charter, bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation law.

The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment and an unspecified amount of damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. R1 believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims against it and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.”

Description of the Registration Rights Agreement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, R1, New R1, the Sellers, TCP-ASC, IHC, and Lifepoint will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Investors will receive certain registration rights covering the resale of shares of New R1 Common Stock owned by any of the Investors, as well as any shares of New R1 Common Stock issued by New R1 upon the exercise of warrants held by certain of the Investors and any securities issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the shares of New R1 Common Stock referenced above.

 

62


Table of Contents

The Registration Rights Agreement will provide that (i) IHC may only make one such demand for registration pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, (ii) TCP-ASC may only make five demands for registration (of which no more than three may be on a form other than Form S-3) and no more than three demands during any twelve-month period, and (iii) the Sellers may only make four demands for registration (of which no more than one may be on a form other than Form S-3) and no more than three demands during any twelve-month period. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide that whenever New R1 registers shares of New R1 Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than on a Form S-4 or Form S-8, or in connection with any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then each Investor will have the right as specified therein to register its shares of New R1 Common Stock as part of that registration. The registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to certain rights of the managing underwriters, if any, to reduce or exclude certain shares owned by the Investors from an underwritten registration. Except as otherwise provided, the Registration Rights Agreement requires New R1 to pay for all costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts, commissions and stock transfer taxes incurred in connection with the registration of the New R1 Common Stock, provided that New R1 will only be required to pay the fees and disbursements of one legal counsel to the Investors per registration and only $15,000 of aggregate expenses incurred or otherwise borne by each of IHC and LifePoint. New R1 will also agree to indemnify the Investors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Description of the Investor Rights Agreements

TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, R1, New R1 and TCP-ASC will enter into the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, which will replace and supersede the Original Investor Rights Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.

Background of the Transactions

As part of R1’s ongoing consideration and evaluation of its long-term strategic goals and plans, the R1 Board and R1 senior management regularly review and discuss R1’s operations and financial performance, business strategy and competitive position in the industry in which it operates. This review includes, among other matters, the evaluation and consideration of various strategic alternatives, including acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the overall business and enhance stockholder value. To assist with this review, R1, with the approval of the R1 Board, engaged Centerview Partners LLC (“Centerview”) in March 2019 to provide ongoing assistance with analysis and consideration of various strategic and financial alternatives that may be available to R1.

On August 20, 2021, Matthew Holt (Managing Director and President, Private Equity of New Mountain) spoke by telephone with Joseph Flanagan (President and Chief Executive Officer of R1) to discuss a possible strategic opportunity with a New Mountain portfolio company. Near the end of the call, Mr. Holt brought up that New Mountain was evaluating various strategic options for Cloudmed and as part of that discussion, Mr. Flanagan raised the possibility of exploring a potential strategic transaction with R1. No specific terms were discussed during this conversation.

On September 2, 2021, Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Holt spoke again by telephone regarding the possibility of a strategic transaction between R1 and Cloudmed. No specific terms were discussed at this time and Mr. Flanagan recommended to Mr. Holt that he engage in discussions with TowerBrook (in light of TowerBrook’s representation on the R1 Board and the fact that any potential transaction would require approval of TCP-ASC under the Original Investor Rights Agreement) given New Mountain’s level of interest.

On September 9, 2021, Mr. Holt and Ian Sacks (Managing Director of TowerBrook) spoke by telephone regarding the possibility of R1 acquiring Cloudmed. No specific terms were discussed at this time, but Messrs. Holt and Sacks agreed that it would be appropriate for R1 and Cloudmed to enter into a confidentiality agreement to continue discussions and share additional information about the respective businesses. Beginning on that date, R1 and Cloudmed negotiated a mutual confidentiality agreement, which was entered into on September 13, 2021.

On September 14, 2021, Mr. Flanagan, Mr. Sacks, Lee Rivas (Chief Executive Officer of the Cloudmed business) and Mr. Holt met in New York to discuss the possibility of R1 acquiring Cloudmed. No specific terms were discussed at this time.

On September 17, 2021, R1, TowerBrook and Centerview received from Cloudmed and New Mountain a confidential information memorandum concerning Cloudmed.

On September 23, 2021, New Mountain provided to representatives of R1 proposed high-level terms of a potential transaction pursuant to which R1 would acquire Cloudmed, which terms included a $5.0 billion enterprise valuation of Cloudmed assuming a $22.00 value per share of R1 Common Stock (resulting in implied ownership for Cloudmed equity holders of approximately 38% of the fully diluted equity of the combined company on a pro forma basis). Between September 23, 2021 and November 22, 2021, the parties and their respective financial advisors discussed terms of a potential transaction and exchanged preliminary due diligence information concerning the R1 and Cloudmed businesses, including financial information. During this period, management of R1 and Cloudmed held several diligence meetings to discuss their respective businesses.

On October 1, 2021, at a special meeting of the R1 Board held by video conference and attended by members of R1 management, Mr. Flanagan and other members of R1 management briefed the R1 Board on the initial discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Cloudmed. The R1 Board expressed its support for R1 continuing its discussion with Cloudmed and New Mountain and obtaining more information regarding Cloudmed and its business.

On October 8, 2021, Mr. Flanagan briefed the executive committee of the R1 Board, then comprised of Alex Mandl, Mr. Sacks and Anthony Speranzo, on updates with respect to the potential acquisition of Cloudmed.

On November 12, 2021, Messrs. Holt, Sacks and Flanagan met in person in New York at which time, based on initial due diligence findings, Mr. Flanagan presented an updated proposal that reflected a $4.250 billion enterprise value of Cloudmed assuming a $29.50 value per share of R1 Common Stock (resulting in implied ownership for Cloudmed equity holders of approximately 27% of the fully diluted equity of the combined company on a pro forma basis). The meeting ended without agreement on R1’s proposal.

On November 17, 2021, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the R1 Board held by video conference and attended by members of R1 management and representatives of TowerBrook, Centerview and Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“Kirkland”), legal counsel to R1, Mr. Flanagan and other members of R1 management briefed the R1 Board on the ongoing discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Cloudmed, including results of the preliminary due diligence review of Cloudmed, the potential valuation of Cloudmed and proposed high-level transaction terms discussed between the parties and their respective advisors. Representatives of Centerview then reviewed with the R1 Board Centerview’s preliminary financial analysis of the proposed transaction based on terms discussed between the parties. The R1 Board expressed its support for R1 continuing its discussions with Cloudmed and New Mountain and approved moving forward with a detailed due diligence investigation of Cloudmed (including engaging legal, accounting, tax and other advisors to conduct a due diligence review of Cloudmed) and submitting to Cloudmed and New Mountain a term sheet with the proposed transaction terms discussed with the R1 Board.

On November 23, 2021, at the request of R1, Centerview delivered to Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), Cloudmed’s financial advisor, a non-binding term sheet (on the terms approved by the R1 Board) setting forth proposed terms of a potential transaction pursuant to which R1 would acquire Cloudmed, which non-binding term sheet contemplated an all-stock transaction pursuant to which Cloudmed equityholders would receive shares of R1 Common Stock equal to 30% of the equity value of the combined company and certain board nomination and other governance rights for Cloudmed equityholders. Between November 23, 2021 and December 10, 2021, representatives of R1, TowerBrook, Cloudmed and New Mountain, along with their respective advisors, had further discussions and correspondence regarding the proposed terms and exchanged drafts of the term sheet.

On December 8, 2021, at a special meeting of the R1 Board held by video conference and attended by members of R1 management and representatives of TowerBrook, Centerview and Kirkland, Mr. Flanagan briefed the R1 Board on the ongoing discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Cloudmed, including the proposed terms set forth in the non-binding term sheet being negotiated between the parties. Representatives of Centerview then reviewed with the R1 Board Centerview’s preliminary financial analysis of the proposed transaction based on terms set forth in the non-binding term sheet. Following discussion, the R1 Board approved R1’s entry into a non-binding term sheet and an exclusivity agreement that would restrict Cloudmed and New Mountain from engaging in any discussions or entering into any agreement with any third party relating to any alternative acquisition proposal or transaction, in each case on terms consistent with those reviewed by the R1 Board. In approving R1’s entry into the non-binding term sheet and exclusivity agreement, the R1 Board considered, among other things, the benefits of alignment with Cloudmed and New Mountain on key transaction terms before spending additional time and resources on a potential transaction and the fact that the exclusivity agreement did not restrict R1’s ability to solicit, enter into or otherwise pursue alternative transactions.

Also on December 8, 2021, at the request of R1, Centerview delivered to Barclays an exclusivity agreement proposed to be entered into by and among R1, Cloudmed and New Mountain. On that date, Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes”), legal counsel to Cloudmed and New Mountain, delivered to Kirkland a preliminary proposed

structure for the transaction, which structure included, among other things, a holding company reorganization of R1. Representatives of Ropes and Kirkland held a teleconference on the same day to review the proposed structure. After December 8, 2021, representatives of Kirkland, Ropes and the tax advisors to each of R1 and Cloudmed engaged in numerous discussions and correspondence relating to the structure of the proposed transaction.

On December 10, 2021, R1, Cloudmed and New Mountain entered into the non-binding term sheet and the exclusivity agreement. The term sheet contemplated, among other things, an all-stock transaction pursuant to which Cloudmed equityholders would receive shares of R1 Common Stock equal to 30.0% of R1’s fully-diluted equity on a pro forma basis, the entry into an investor rights agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Cloudmed equityholders would (x) have the right to nominate three directors to the R1 Board, which nomination right would scale down as Cloudmed equityholders’ ownership of R1 decreased in a manner consistent with how TCP-ASC’s nomination rights scale down in the Original Investor Rights Agreement, (y) have the same special approval rights as TCP-ASC under the Original Investor Rights Agreement, and (z) be subject to an 18 month lock-up covenant with respect to the shares of R1 Common Stock received in the transaction, subject to certain exceptions. The exclusivity agreement prohibited Cloudmed and New Mountain from soliciting, or entering into any agreement with respect to, an alternative transaction until January 10, 2022, but did not impose any such restrictions on R1. Also on December 10, 2021, R1 entered into an addendum to the existing engagement letter with Centerview to formalize Centerview’s engagement as financial advisor to R1 in connection with a potential transaction between R1 and Cloudmed. The decision to engage Centerview as financial advisor was based on Centerview’s deep industry expertise, knowledge of R1, experience in a wide variety of transactions and absence of conflicts of interests, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of Centerview’s relationships disclosure.

On December 12, 2021, R1 and Cloudmed each entered into a clean team agreement with the other, which agreements provided customary procedures for sharing sensitive due diligence information.

Between December 12, 2021 and January 9, 2022, each of R1, with the assistance of its advisors, on the one hand, and Cloudmed, with the assistance of its advisors, on the other hand, conducted an extensive due diligence investigation of the other, including exchanging information through data rooms and holding numerous due diligence teleconferences and video conferences covering business, financial, legal, accounting, tax and other areas of due diligence.

On January 6, Kirkland delivered to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), Barclays and their counsel, Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP (“Cahill”), initial drafts of the Commitment Letter and related documents. Between January 6, 2022 and January 9, 2022, R1 and Kirkland, on the one hand, and JPM, Barclays and Cahill, on the other hand, negotiated the Commitment Letter and related documents, including engaging in numerous discussions and correspondence relating to those documents.

Mr. Flanagan, representatives of TowerBrook and representatives of Kirkland briefed the R1 Board on the status of negotiations regarding the potential acquisition of Cloudmed, including updates since the January 7 board meeting and the proposed final terms of the Transaction Agreement and related agreements and documents. Sean Radcliffe, General Counsel of R1, reviewed the fiduciary duties of the directors. A representative of Centerview then reviewed Centerview’s financial analysis of the Consideration to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. After discussion among the directors and representatives of TowerBrook, Centerview and Kirkland, a representative of Centerview delivered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in a written opinion dated such date, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion, the Consideration to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to R1. For a detailed discussion of Centerview’s opinion, see the section titled “Opinion of R1’s Financial Advisor” beginning of page 85 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Representatives of Kirkland then summarized the matters proposed to be approved by the R1 Board. After additional discussions of the proposed transaction and the matters summarized at the meeting, including consideration of the factors described below under the heading “Recommendation of the R1 Board; R1’s Reasons for the Transaction” beginning on page 82 of this proxy statement/prospectus, the R1 Board unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of R1 and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the Transaction Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated thereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (ii) approved the Transaction Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated thereby, the execution and delivery by R1 of the Transaction Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated thereby, and the performance by R1 of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and (iii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of R1 approve the issuance of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement.

Overnight on January 9, 2022, the parties executed the Transaction Agreement (which included as exhibits the forms of the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement), the Voting Agreement and the Commitment Letter.

Early in the morning on January 10, 2022, the parties issued a press release announcing the Transactions.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information present the combination of the historical consolidated financial statements of R1 and Cloudmed adjusted to give effect to the Contribution and the related financing transactions. All amounts presented within this section are presented in millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of R1 and related notes that have been filed with the SEC, certain of which are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus including the audited consolidated financial statements of R1 as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes included in R1’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the historical consolidated financial statements of Revint Holdings, LLC and related notes, including the audited consolidated financial statements of Revint Holdings, LLC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 included in this proxy statement/prospectus. No activity exists outside of Revint Holdings, LLC which would materially impact the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information below.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s balance sheet or statement of operations actually would have been had the Contribution been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Revint Holdings, LLC have been adjusted as shown in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information by R1 management to reflect certain reclassifications to conform with current financial statement presentation. The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary, based upon available information and made solely for the purpose of providing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Differences between these preliminary unaudited estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the future results of operations and financial position of the combined company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The accompanying pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer, R1 has estimated the fair value of Cloudmed’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and conformed the accounting policies of Cloudmed to its own accounting policies. Further review of Cloudmed’s detailed accounting policies following the consummation of the Contribution may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company.

The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. The allocation of the estimated consideration is preliminary, pending finalization of various estimates and analyses. Since these unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the Contribution, the actual amounts eventually recorded for the Contribution, including Goodwill, may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. Total transaction costs in connection with the Contribution are estimated to be approximately $50.4 million. These anticipated combination related transaction costs incurred by R1, of which $48.0 million are not included in the historical financials as they had not yet been incurred, are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a reduction to cash and accrued liabilities, and in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement as an increase to other expenses.

Further, the unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect the following items:

 

   

Restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or other transaction costs;

 

   

The impact of possible cost or growth synergies expected to be achieved by the combined company, as no assurance can be made that such cost or growth synergies will be achieved.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been prepared to reflect the Contribution as if it had occurred on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations has been prepared to reflect the Contribution as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 were prepared utilizing R1 and Revint Holdings, LLC’s historical consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2. Preliminary Consideration

The preliminary consideration is calculated as follows (in millions except share and per share amounts):

 

Shares of R1 common stock to be issued

     135,545,322  

R1 closing price as of April 1, 2022

   $ 26.69  
  

 

 

 

Total stock consideration

   $ 3,617.7  

Fair value discount factor (13.5%) for lock-up covenant

     86.5
  

 

 

 

Estimated stock consideration to be transferred

   $ 3,129.3  

Fair value of R1 RSUs issued in exchange for unvested Cloudmed Restricted Units

   $ 12.5  

Estimate of equity consideration expected to be transferred

   $ 3,141.8  

Estimated cash consideration

   $ 913.4  
  

 

 

 

Estimate of total consideration expected to be transferred

   $ 4,055.2  
  

 

 

 

The preliminary value of the consideration does not purport to represent the actual value of the total consideration that will be transferred when the acquisition is complete. The fair value of the equity securities comprising the consideration will be measured on the closing date of the Contribution at the then-current market price per share of R1 Common Stock. This requirement will likely result in a difference from $26.69 per share on, April 1, 2022, assumed in the calculation, and that difference may be material. For example, an increase or decrease of 15% in the price of R1 Common Stock on the closing date of the Contribution from the price of R1 Common Stock assumed in these unaudited pro forma financial statements would change the value of the preliminary consideration by approximately $469.4 million, which would be reflected as a corresponding increase or decrease to Goodwill. Based on historical volatility, a 15% change in the per share price of R1 Common Stock is reasonably possible during the period between the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the expected closing date of the Transactions as prices have fluctuated from $19.42 to $27.73 for the last six-month period.

The preliminary estimate of the fair value of share-based compensation awards relates to certain unvested Cloudmed restricted units that will be replaced with R1 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). The R1 awards will generally have a continued time-based vesting schedule in line with historic Cloudmed awards, resulting in an estimated $12.5 million allocated pre-combination expense, treated as part of total consideration, with the remaining $25.8 million being recognized in post combination periods. Our preliminary estimates of fair value are based upon preliminary assumptions that are subject to further refinement as additional information is obtained.

5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The following is a description of the unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

 

(a)

Reflects the estimated cash paid in conjunction with the Transactions of $966.0 million, including (i) cash paid for Cloudmed’s preexisting indebtedness, (ii) Cloudmed’s cash retention bonuses, which become payable upon change of control, and (iii) the estimated transaction-related costs associated with the Contribution to be paid by R1 of approximately $50.4 million, which includes fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, among others. Contribution related fees are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed as incurred.

 

(b)

Represents the removal of prepaid commissions since R1 will not obtain a probable future economic benefit from the asset.

 

(c)

Represents the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases.

 

(d)

Represents the removal of Cloudmed’s internally developed software and adjustment of historical and newly created intangible assets acquired by R1 to their estimated fair values. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, R1 identified intangible assets, including technology and customer relationships. Since all information required to perform a detailed valuation analysis of Cloudmed’s intangible assets could not be obtained as of the date of this filing, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, R1 used certain assumptions based upon publicly available transaction data for the industry. The fair value of the intangible assets and the estimated remaining useful lives may differ materially from this preliminary determination as R1 completes the analysis of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of Cloudmed’s identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives and uses a straight-line method of amortization:

 

     Estimated
useful life

(in years)
     Preliminary
Fair Value
 

Technology

     10      $ 895.1  

Customer relationships

     12        696.1  
     

 

 

 

Total acquired intangible assets

      $ 1,591.2  
     

 

 

 

Less: Cloudmed historical intangible assets, net

        482.1  
     

 

 

 

Pro forma adjustment

      $ 1,109.1  
     

 

 

 

 

78


Table of Contents
(e)

Reflects the excess of the preliminary consideration over the preliminary fair value of Cloudmed’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as shown in Note 3. The actual amount of goodwill will depend upon the final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may differ materially from this preliminary determination. Additional goodwill generated from the Transactions above Cloudmed’s historic goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

(f)

Represents the preliminary adjustment to deferred tax liabilities primarily associated with the pro forma fair value adjustments for intangible assets based on an estimated combined statutory tax rate of 25.0%. This estimate of deferred income tax balances is preliminary and subject to change based on management’s final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction. The historic R1 non-current deferred tax assets have been reclassified to net against the pro forma non-current deferred tax liabilities.

 

(g)

RECOMMENDATION OF THE R1 BOARD; R1’S REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTIONS

On January 9, 2022, the R1 Board unanimously approved the Transaction Agreement and the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers in connection with the Contribution and determined that the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby, including the Holding Company Reorganization, the Contribution and the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the Contribution are advisable and in the best interests of R1 and its stockholders. In addition, on February 22, 2022, the R1 Board unanimously approved the amendment of R1’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares issuable thereunder. In each case, the R1 Board considered the business, assets and liabilities, results of operations, financial performance, strategic direction and prospects of each of R1 and Cloudmed and certain anticipated effects of the transactions on the combined company.

In making its determination, the R1 Board considered a number of factors, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

 

   

the R1 Board’s belief that the Transactions will enhance R1’s position as the strategic revenue partner for healthcare providers in the United States by creating a best-in-class platform with market-leading capabilities;

 

   

the R1 Board’s belief that the Transactions add revenue intelligence and automation capabilities supported by decades of coding, charging, and reimbursement expertise;

 

   

the R1 Board’s belief that the Transactions will accelerate R1’s growth by unlocking more of its target addressable market across both the end-to-end and modular channels;

 

   

the R1 Board’s expectation that the Transactions will drive data innovation by leveraging Cloudmed’s rich dataset and rules engine to deliver technological scale advantages to R1 and its customers;

 

   

the R1 Board’s belief that the Transactions will complement and enhance R1’s ability to drive improved financial outcomes for customers;

 

   

the R1 Board’s view that the Transactions will accelerate R1’s efforts to build the most scalable, flexible and integrated platform for the revenue cycle and consumer engagement in healthcare;

 

   

the R1 Board’s expectation that the Transactions will yield approximately $85 million in cost savings from efficiencies realized by 2025 through the combination of the businesses, and to be accretive to earnings before the impact of purchase accounting in the first full fiscal year after the closing of the Transactions;

 

   

the R1 Board’s understanding of the business, assets and liabilities, results of operations, financial performance, strategic direction and prospects of each of R1 and Cloudmed;

 

   

the R1 Board’s expectation that, upon completion of the Transactions, current R1 stockholders will continue to own approximately 70% of the outstanding shares of New R1 Common Stock on a fully diluted basis;

 

   

the fact that the Sellers will be ongoing owners in the combined company and will have an 18-month lockup (subject to early release with respect to up to 20% of the shares issued to the Sellers after 6 months in certain limited circumstances);

 

   

the historical and then-current trading prices and volumes of the shares of R1 Common Stock;

 

   

the opinion of Centerview rendered to the R1 Board on January 9, 2022, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated such date that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Centerview in preparing its opinion, the Consideration to be paid for the equity interests in Cloudmed Parent pursuant to the Transaction Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to R1, as more fully described below under the caption “Opinion of R1’s Financial Advisor”;

 

82


Table of Contents
   

the terms of the credit facilities to be entered into in connection with the Transactions and the likelihood that the necessary financing will be obtained given the financing commitments obtained pursuant to the Commitment Letter;

 

   

the result of R1’s due diligence investigation of Cloudmed and the reputation, business practices and experience of Cloudmed and its management;

 

   

that Mr. Rivas agreed to serve as President of New R1 and that the retention of Cloudmed employees would be beneficial in supporting the growth and opportunity for the combined company, which the R1 Board determined would be beneficial to R1’s ability to effectively drive long-term value from the Contribution; and

 

   

other terms of the Transaction Agreement.

The R1 Board also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in its deliberations concerning the Transactions, including the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

 

   

the fact that because the market value of R1 Common Stock is volatile and subject to change, R1 cannot be certain of the market value of the Contribution consideration until completion of the Contribution;

 

   

the ownership dilution to current R1 stockholders as a result of the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the Contribution;

 

   

the potential length and uncertainty of the regulatory clearance process and, consequently, the period during which R1 will be subject to the operating restrictions in the Transaction Agreement, which among other things could delay or prevent R1 from undertaking certain business opportunities that R1 would otherwise undertake absent the pending completion of the Transactions;

 

   

R1’s commitments to take certain actions and agree to certain conditions in order to obtain required regulatory clearances;

 

   

the risk that the required regulatory clearances for the completion of the Transactions may not be obtained and the Transactions may not be consummated;

 

   

the risk that governmental entities may impose conditions on the combined company that may adversely affect the ability of the combined company to realize the expected benefits of the Transactions, including requirements to divest businesses or assets or agree to restrictions on the operation of the combined company;

 

   

the risk that the expected synergies may not be realized or may not be captured to the extent and within the time expected;

 

   

the provisions of the Transaction Agreement that restrict R1’s ability to solicit or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding acquisition proposals, subject to certain exceptions, and that require R1 to give Cloudmed the opportunity to propose revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement prior to the R1 Board’s ability to change its recommendation;

 

   

the fact that, even if the R1 Board changes its recommendation to stockholders, R1 does not have the right to terminate the Transaction Agreement and R1 is required by the Transaction Agreement to present the Share Issuance Proposal to stockholders for approval at a meeting of stockholders;

 

   

the provisions of the Voting Agreement that require TCP-ASC to vote in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal even if the R1 Board changes its recommendation, which means the Stock Issuance Proposal is expected (based on TCP-ASC’s ownership of R1 Common Stock) to be approved;

 

   

the significant costs incurred by R1 in connection with entering into the Transaction Agreement and the substantial time and effort of R1’s management required to complete the Transactions, which may

 

83


Table of Contents
 

disrupt R1’s business operations and divert management’s time and attention from operating the business;

 

   

the risks and challenges inherent in the combination of two businesses of the size, scope and complexity of R1 and Cloudmed, including the potential for unforeseen difficulties in integrating operations and systems and difficulties integrating employees;

 

   

the risk that R1 and Cloudmed may be unable to retain key employees;

 

   

the potential effect on R1’s business and relations with vendors, partners, customers and other stakeholders as a result of the announcement of the Transactions and the uncertainty regarding whether or not the Transactions will be completed;

 

   

the risk that Cloudmed may not be able to maintain or renew certain material contracts and relationships on favorable terms or at all;

 

   

the fact that R1 will have higher leverage following the Transactions due to the new indebtedness that R1 expects to incur in order to repay Cloudmed’s existing credit facility, which could have adverse consequences to R1’s business and financial position or its ability to pursue acquisition opportunities following the Transactions;

 

   

the fact that, despite the efforts of R1 and Cloudmed, and even if the Transactions are approved by R1’s stockholders, the Transactions may not be completed or may be delayed; and

 

   

various other risks associated with the Transactions and the business of R1, Cloudmed and the combined company described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The R1 Board determined that, overall, these potential risks and uncertainties were outweighed by the benefits that the R1 Board expects to achieve as a result of the Transactions. The R1 Board realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the foregoing reasons.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors that the R1 Board considered is not intended to be exhaustive, but is meant to include the material factors relating to the Transactions that the R1 Board considered. In view of the complexity and wide variety of factors that the R1 Board considered, the R1 Board did not find it practical to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weights or values to any of the factors considered. In addition, individual members of the R1 Board may have given different weights to different factors.

The foregoing description of R1’s consideration of the factors relating to the Transactions is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 57 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

ACCORDINGLY, THE R1 BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT R1 STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE TIME OF THE 2022 R1 ANNUAL MEETING TO APPROVE THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

Centerview assumed, without independent verification or any responsibility therefor, the accuracy and completeness of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information supplied to, discussed with, or reviewed by Centerview for purposes of its opinion and, with R1’s consent, Centerview relied upon such information as being complete and accurate. In that regard, Centerview assumed, at R1’s direction, that the Cloudmed Internal Data were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Cloudmed as to the matters covered thereby and that R1 Internal Data (including, without limitation, R1 Forecasts), the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed and the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of R1 as to the matters covered thereby, and Centerview relied, at R1’s direction, on the Cloudmed Internal Data, the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed, R1 Internal Data (including R1 Forecasts) and the Synergies for purposes of its analysis and opinion.

Summary of Centerview Financial Analysis

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses prepared and reviewed with the R1 Board in connection with Centerview’s opinion, dated January 9, 2022. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed or factors considered by, and underlying the opinion of, Centerview, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by Centerview. Centerview may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so the reference ranges resulting from any particular portion of the analyses summarized below should not be taken to be Centerview’s view of the actual value of R1. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses set forth below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Centerview. Considering the data in the tables below without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Centerview’s financial analyses and its opinion. In performing its analyses, Centerview made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of R1, Cloudmed or any other parties to the Transactions. None of R1, New R1, R1 Merger Sub, Cloudmed, Sellers or Centerview or any other

person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of R1 or Cloudmed do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which R1 or Cloudmed may actually be sold.

Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, the financial analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before January 7, 2022 (the last trading day before the public announcement of the Transactions) and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

For purposes of the financial analyses described below, the term adjusted EBITDA, as it applies to R1 and Cloudmed, means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain expenses and transactions that R1 believes are not representative of core operations, namely, certain one-time compensation and transaction related expenses, stock-based compensation, professional fees paid to third party advisors, non-recurring recruiting and training expenses as well as changes associated with liabilities resulting from compensation agreements established during prior mergers and acquisitions at Cloudmed. Further, pro forma adjustments were then included for payments made in connection with earnouts and retention payments paid to employees as part of agreements executed in connection with prior mergers and acquisitions at Cloudmed.

Selected Public Comparable Companies Analysis:

Although none of the selected companies is directly comparable to R1, the companies listed above were chosen by Centerview, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies that have certain operational, business and/or financial characteristics that, for purposes of Centerview’s analyses, may be considered similar to those of R1. Because none of the selected companies is exactly the same as R1, Centerview believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected public comparable companies analysis. Accordingly, Centerview also made qualitative judgments, based on its experience and professional judgment, concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of R1 and the selected companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

Using publicly available information obtained from regulatory filings and other data sources as of January 7, 2022, Centerview calculated, for each R1 selected company, among other things, aggregate enterprise values (calculated as the market value of common equity (determined using the treasury stock method and taking into account outstanding in-the-money options, warrants and restricted stock units, as applicable) plus the book value of debt, plus minority interests and less cash and cash equivalents) as a multiple of the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (“EV/2022E Adj. EBITDA”). From this analysis, Centerview computed median and mean enterprise value/estimated adjusted EBITDA multiples for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 for the R1 selected companies set forth below:

From this analysis, Centerview assessed, through a range of qualitative and quantitative factors including, but not limited to, company maturity, historical and expected growth and margin characteristics, end market trends and dynamics related to the business models of each comparable company versus R1, an appropriate range of 2022E EV/ Adj. EBITDA multiples for R1 of 20.0x to 24.0x and applied such multiples to the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 for R1 based on R1 Forecasts, to arrive at a range of implied enterprise values for R1 of $8,150 million to $9,780 million. To arrive at a range of implied equity values for R1, Centerview adjusted the total enterprise values for R1’s net debt of approximately $651 million (as set forth in the R1 Internal Data) and minority interest, as applicable, which resulted in an approximate implied equity value reference range for R1, on a per share basis of $23.25 to $28.15 (utilizing the fully diluted share count as of January 7, 2022 of 322.9 million and 324.1 million, respectively).

Cloudmed. In performing a selected public comparable companies analysis of Cloudmed, Centerview reviewed and analyzed certain financial information, ratios and multiples, including EV/2022E Adj. EBITDA (as described above), for the below listed publicly traded companies that Centerview, based on its experience and professional judgment, deemed relevant to consider in relation to Cloudmed (collectively, the “Cloudmed selected companies”):

the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

Using publicly available information obtained from regulatory filings and other data sources as of January 7, 2022, Centerview calculated, for each Cloudmed selected comparable company, the EV/2022E Adj. EBITDA (as described above). From this analysis, Centerview computed median and mean enterprise value/estimated adjusted EBITDA multiples for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 for the Cloudmed selected companies set forth below:

 

     EV/2022E Adj.

     Mean      Median

     16.3x        14.3x  

From this analysis, Centerview assessed, through a range of qualitative and quantitative factors including, but not limited to, company maturity, historical and expected growth and margin characteristics, end market trends and dynamics related to the business models of each comparable company versus Cloudmed, an appropriate range of 2022E EV/ Adj. EBITDA multiples for Cloudmed of 22.0x to 26.0x and applied such multiples to the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 for Cloudmed based on the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed, to arrive at a range of implied enterprise values for Cloudmed of $4,200 million to $4,960 million. To arrive at a range of implied equity values for Cloudmed, Centerview adjusted the total enterprise values for Cloudmed’s net debt of approximately $939 million (as set forth in the Cloudmed Internal Data), which resulted in an approximate implied equity value reference range for Cloudmed of $3,260 million to $4,020 million.

Based upon the resulting implied equity values of R1 and Cloudmed, Centerview calculated a range of implied pro forma equity ownership of R1’s equityholders in the combined company. For purposes of this calculation, Centerview assumed that the implied equity value of the combined company was the sum of the implied equity values of R1 and Cloudmed (without consideration of any potential synergies). Centerview calculated the low end of R1 stockholder implied pro forma equity ownership range assuming the lowest implied equity value for R1 and the highest implied equity value for Cloudmed, and then calculated the high end of R1 stockholder implied pro forma equity ownership range assuming the highest implied equity value for R1 and the lowest implied equity value for Cloudmed. The analysis implied a pro forma equity ownership percentage range for R1’s stockholders of 65.1% to 73.7%, as compared to the pro forma ownership of R1’s stockholders of 70.1% on a fully diluted basis, as a result of the issuance of the Consideration (assuming Coyote Net Debt (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) of $939 million as of December 31, 2021).

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis:

Centerview performed a discounted cash flow analysis of R1 based on R1 Forecasts and of Cloudmed based on the Cloudmed Internal Data and the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset or company by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows of the asset or company and terminal value of the asset or company. “Present value” refers to the current value of estimated future cash flows and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

In performing these analyses, Centerview calculated the discounted cash flow values as the sum of the net present values (as of December 31, 2021) of (1) the estimated unlevered free cash flows of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 included in R1 Forecasts and the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed and (2) the terminal value of each of R1 and Cloudmed at the end of the forecast period. The terminal values of each of R1 and Cloudmed were estimated applying a range of exit multiples of 20.0x to 24.0x to the

Table of Contents

terminal year adjusted EBITDA of each as provided in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 76 of this proxy statement/prospectus. The range of exit multiples was estimated by Centerview utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the relevant company and, among other matters, R1 Forecasts, the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed and the implied perpetuity growth rates. The cash flows and terminal values were discounted to present value (as of December 31, 2021) using a range of discount rates of 9.75% to 10.75% for Cloudmed and 9.50% to 10.50% for R1. The range of discount rates was determined based on Centerview’s analyses of Cloudmed’s and R1’s respective weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Centerview derived WACC using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and based on considerations that Centerview deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience, taking into account certain metrics including capital structure, the cost of long-term U.S. Treasury debt, tax rates, historical and projected unlevered and levered betas for certain selected comparable companies, as well as certain financial metrics for the U.S. financial markets generally.

Based on these analyses, Centerview calculated a range of approximate implied equity values for Cloudmed and R1 (including on an implied per share basis for R1), in each case after adjusting for such party’s net debt (as set forth in the Cloudmed Internal Data and R1 Internal Data, respectively), minority interest and equity method investments, as applicable (without consideration of any potential synergies).

Using the high and low values from the resulting range of the implied equity values, Centerview then calculated the implied pro forma equity ownership percentage range for R1’s stockholders of 63.9% to 73.8%, as compared to the pro forma ownership of R1’s equityholders of 70.1% on a fully diluted basis, as a result of the issuance of the Consideration (assuming Coyote Net Debt (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) of $939 million as of December 31, 2021).

“Has-Gets” Value Creation Analysis:

Centerview compared the standalone per share value of R1 to the pro forma per share value of the combined company after giving effect to the Transactions, including (i) the pro forma ownership of R1’s equityholders of 70.1% as a result of the issuance of the Consideration (assuming Coyote Net Debt (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) of $939 million as of December 31, 2021), (ii) the realization of cost and revenue Synergies as provided and (iii) the inclusion of estimated transaction costs. Centerview observed the following comparison of the standalone value of R1 to the pro forma value of the combined company:

 

     “Has”      “Gets” (Combined

synergies)
 

EV/Adj. EBITDA (2022E)

   $ 23.35      $ 26.41  

Discounted Cash Flows

   $ 30.25      $ 34.63  

Other Factors

Centerview noted for the R1 Board certain additional factors solely for informational purposes, including, among other things, the following:

 

   

historical trading prices of R1 common stock during the 52-week period ended January 7, 2022, which indicated low to high closing prices for R1 common stock during such period of $18.85 to $30.58 per share, as compared to the closing price of R1 common stock of $23.35 per share on January 7, 2022; and

 

   

stock price targets for R1 common stock as reflected in selected publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ reports as of January 7, 2022, which indicated an overall low to high target stock price range of $28.00 to $35.00 per share on an undiscounted basis.

General

The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Centerview did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any factor or analysis that it considered. Rather, Centerview made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses.

Centerview’s financial analyses and opinion were only one of many factors taken into consideration by the R1 Board in its evaluation of the Transactions. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the R1 Board or management of R1 with respect to the Consideration or as to whether the R1 Board would have been willing to determine that a different consideration was fair. The consideration for the Transactions was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between R1 and the Sellers and was approved by the R1 Board. Centerview provided advice to R1 during these negotiations. Centerview did not, however recommend any specific amount of consideration to R1 or the R1 Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transactions.

Centerview is a securities firm engaged directly and through affiliates and related persons in a number of investment banking, financial advisory and merchant banking activities. In the two years prior to the date of Centerview’s written opinion, Centerview was engaged to provide financial advisory services to R1, including in connection with R1’s acquisition of VisitPay in 2021, its conversion agreement with TCP-ASC in 2021, its acquisition of SCI Solutions in 2020 and its purchase of Cerner’s RevWorks in 2020, and Centerview received approximately $8,500,000 in compensation from R1 for such services. In the two years prior to the date of Centerview’s written opinion, Centerview was engaged to provide financial advisory services to a portfolio company of Ascension and TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P., affiliates of which collectively own over 50% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of R1, and Centerview may receive compensation in the future for such services. In the two years prior to the date of Centerview’s written opinion, Centerview was engaged to provide financial advisory services unrelated to Cloudmed or the Sellers to J. Jill, Inc. (“J. Jill”), a portfolio company of TowerBrook, in connection with J. Jill’s transaction support agreement with over 70% of its term loan lenders and a majority of its shareholders, and Centerview received less than $5 million in compensation from J. Jill for such services during such period. In the two years prior to the date of Centerview’s written opinion, Centerview was not engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to Cloudmed or the Sellers, and Centerview did not receive any compensation from Cloudmed or the Sellers during such period. In the two years prior to the date of Centerview’s written opinion, Centerview was engaged to provide financial advisory services to New Mountain, the sponsor of Cloudmed, or New Mountain’s affiliates, including in connection with a strategic matter involving one of New Mountain’s portfolio companies in 2021 and the sale of 20% of Blue Yonder Holding, Inc. (formerly JDA Software) to Panasonic Corporation in 2020, and Centerview received less than $5 million in compensation from New Mountain for such services. Centerview may provide financial advisory and other services to or with respect to R1, Ascension, TowerBrook, New R1, Cloudmed, the Sellers, New Mountain or their respective affiliates and portfolio companies of New Mountain or TowerBrook in the future, for which Centerview may receive compensation. Certain (i) of Centerview and its affiliates’ directors, officers, members and employees, or family members of such persons, (ii) of Centerview’s affiliates or related investment funds and (iii) investment funds or other persons in which any of the foregoing may have financial interests or with which they may co-invest, may at any time acquire, hold, sell or trade, in debt, equity and other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of, or investments in, R1, Ascension, TowerBrook, New R1, Cloudmed, the Sellers, New Mountain or any of their respective affiliates, including portfolio companies of New Mountain or TowerBrook, or any other party that may be involved in the Transactions.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

R1 does not, as a matter of course, make long-term projections as to future performance available to the public other than generally providing, on a quarterly basis, estimated ranges of certain expected financial results and operational metrics for the current or impending fiscal year in its regular earnings press releases and other investor materials. R1 avoids making public projections for extended periods due to, among other things, the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates inherent in preparing such forecasts. In connection with evaluating a possible transaction with Cloudmed, however, R1’s management provided (i) the R1 Internal Data, (ii) the R1 Forecasts, (iii) the Cloudmed Internal Data, (iv) the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed, and (v) the Synergies (and together with the R1 Forecasts and the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed, the “Forecasts”), to Centerview Partners in connection with the delivery of its financial analyses described in the section titled “Opinion of R1’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 89 of this proxy statement/prospectus.”

The R1 Forecasts were prepared by R1 management in connection with the contemplated Transactions and reflects a forecast based on numerous estimates and assumptions, including R1’s continued performance based on historical performance, and R1 management’s estimation of continued performance.

Cloudmed is a privately-held company and, accordingly, does not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future performance, revenue, earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins, financial condition or other results. However, in connection with its consideration of the Transactions, the management of Cloudmed prepared certain financial projections for years 2021, 2022 and 2023 which were included in the Cloudmed Internal Data and are set forth below. Such projections included the impact of all acquisitions completed by Cloudmed in 2021 as if such acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2021. The Cloudmed Internal Data was prepared for internal use and was also provided to R1 and Centerview. The Cloudmed Internal Data was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Cloudmed management prepared its long range projections through 2024 in connection with its consideration of a potential future initial public offering or a potential M&A transaction, and reflected a detailed forecast based on Cloudmed’s annual operating plan process and numerous estimates and assumptions, including Cloudmed’s historical performance, and Cloudmed management’s estimates regarding future performance. R1’s management then prepared the R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed through 2026, based on the Cloudmed Internal Data, R1’s due diligence investigation of Cloudmed and assumptions and extrapolations deemed appropriate by R1’s management relating to Cloudmed’s business and operations. R1 management also extrapolated the Cloudmed Internal Data to obtain estimated revenue and adjusted EBITDA figures for Cloudmed (inclusive of Par8o, Inc.) for the years 2024, 2025 and 2026. The R1 Management Forecasts for Cloudmed were provided to Centerview for purposes of its financial analyses of the Transactions.

In connection with diligence conducted by R1’s management with respect to Cloudmed while evaluating the Transactions, R1 management also prepared estimates of the Synergies and provided them to Centerview to assist with Centerview’s financial analyses of the Transactions.

None of this information is fact and it should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on prospective financial information. Neither Cloudmed’s nor R1’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, such prospective financial information. The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Cloudmed, R1, the Cloudmed board of managers, the R1 Board or any of their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives (including Centerview) considered, or now considers, such financial projections to be predictive of actual future results.

The Forecasts were prepared solely for internal use and are subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the forecasted results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the Forecasts cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. The estimates and assumptions underlying the Forecasts involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions which may not materialize and that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of R1 and Cloudmed and will be beyond the control of the combined company. You are urged to review this proxy statement/prospectus as well as the SEC filings of R1 incorporated by reference herein, including R1’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of risk factors with respect to the businesses of R1 and Cloudmed. See the sections titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on pages 57 and 233, respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus. You are also urged to review the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of this proxy statement/prospectus. The Forecasts were not prepared with a view toward complying with U.S. GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, R1’s management. R1’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Forecasts or any other prospective financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and accordingly, Ernst & Young LLP does not express any opinion or any form of assurance with respect thereto. Cloudmed’s independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Forecasts or any other prospective financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and, accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express any opinion or any form of assurance with respect thereto. The Ernst & Young LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP reports incorporated by reference or included in this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively, relate only to the previously issued financial statements of R1 and Cloudmed, respectively. Such reports do not extend to the Forecasts and should not be read to do so.

The Forecasts contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. While R1 believes that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information in analyzing R1’s and Cloudmed’s financial results, there are limitations associated with the use of such financial measures. Such non-GAAP measures as used by R1 and Cloudmed, such as Adjusted EBITDA, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The SEC rules, which otherwise would require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure, do not apply to non-GAAP financial measures provided to a board of directors or financial advisor in connection with a proposed business combination transaction such as the proposed Transactions if the disclosure is included in a document such as this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to a GAAP financial measure were not provided to or relied upon by the R1 Board or Centerview in connection with the transactions. Accordingly, R1 has not provided a reconciliation of the financial measures included in the Forecasts to the relevant GAAP financial measures. The Forecasts may differ from published analyst estimates and forecasts and do not take into account any events or circumstances after the date they were prepared, including the announcement of the transactions. Moreover, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Forecasts.

R1 HAS NOT UPDATED NOR DOES IT INTEND TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE THE FORECASTS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE WHEN MADE OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING SUCH FORECASTS ARE NO LONGER APPROPRIATE.

You are encouraged to read the Transaction Agreement carefully and in its entirety. This section and the Transaction Agreement are not intended to provide you with any factual information about R1 or the Cloudmed Entities (as defined below). Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in our public filings make with the SEC, as described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Capitalized terms used in this section but not defined in this section or elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus have their respective meanings set forth in the Transaction Agreement. As used in this section, “R1” refers to R1 RCM Inc., New R1” refers to Project Roadrunner Parent Inc., “Merger Sub” refers to Project Roadrunner Merger Sub Inc., “Cloudmed” refers to Revint Holdings, LLC, “Sellers” refers to CoyCo 1, L.P. and CoyCo 2, L.P., “Blocker Parent” refers to Cloudmed Blocker Parent, L.L.C. and “Cloudmed Entities” refers collectively to Cloudmed, Blocker Parent and their respective subsidiaries following the Coyote Reorganization.

Explanatory Note Regarding Representations, Warranties and Covenants in the Transaction Agreement

The Transaction Agreement is included to provide you with information regarding its terms. Factual disclosures about R1, Cloudmed and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries contained in this proxy statement/prospectus or in the public reports of R1 filed with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about R1 and Cloudmed contained in the Transaction Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the Transaction Agreement were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Transaction Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the Transaction Agreement may have the right not to consummate the transactions if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the Transaction Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties also may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the disclosure schedules that R1 and Cloudmed each delivered in connection with the Transaction Agreement, which disclosures were not reflected in the Transaction Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the Transaction Agreement.

automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one share of New R1 Common Stock. Each person entered as the owner in a book entry that, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, represented any outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock shall be deemed to have received an equivalent number of shares of New R1 Common Stock.

As a result of the Holding Company Reorganization, R1 will, by operation of law, become a wholly owned subsidiary of New R1. Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, New R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Inc.” and R1 will be renamed “R1 RCM Holdco Inc.” (or such other name as R1 may determine prior to closing). The officers and directors of New R1 immediately after consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization but prior to the closing will be the same as the officers and directors of R1 immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization. In addition, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the certificate of incorporation (except for certain technical matters) and bylaws of New R1 will contain provisions identical to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of R1 immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, other than as required or permitted by Section 251(g) of the DGCL, and R1’s certificate of incorporation will be amended and restated as set forth in the Transaction Agreement and R1’s bylaws will remain the same as the bylaws in effective prior to the Holding Company Reorganization (other than with respect to its name) until thereafter changed or amended as provided by the bylaws or applicable law.

Prior to the closing, Cloudmed will effect an internal reorganization as described in the Transaction Agreement, as a result of which Cloudmed will be 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Blocker Parent, which in turn will be 100% directly owned by the Sellers. Immediately following the Holding Company Reorganization, the parties will affect the Contribution by the Sellers contributing 100% of the limited liability company interests of Blocker Parent in exchange for the consideration described below.

The Consideration

As consideration for the Contribution, New R1 will (a) issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 138,400,874 shares of New R1 Common Stock (which, on a pro forma basis, represents approximately 30% of New R1 Common Stock immediately following the Transactions based on the outstanding R1 Common Stock as of January 9, 2022, determined on a fully diluted basis), subject to adjustments discussed below, and (b) make an aggregate cash payment to the Sellers of $1,000,000.

The number of shares of New R1 Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers will be:

 

  (i)

reduced by the amount by which Cloudmed’s net debt (calculated as the amount of Cloudmed’s indebtedness minus the amount of Cloudmed’s cash) exceeds $929,000,000;

 

  (ii)

reduced by the amount by which 70% of Cloudmed’s transaction expenses exceeds 30% of R1’s transaction expenses, or increased by the amount by which 30% of R1’s transaction expenses exceeds 70% of Cloudmed’s transaction expenses;

 

  (iii)

increased in the event of certain share issuances by R1 between the date of the Transaction Agreement and closing;

 

  (iv)

reduced by the number of Cloudmed restricted units that are cancelled and replaced with restricted stock units representing the right to receive New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of New R1’s equity incentive plan; and

 

  (v)

reduced by the amount of certain cash payments to be made with respect to outstanding Cloudmed equity awards.

The increases or decreases in the number of shares to be issued to the Sellers based on the foregoing adjustments will be calculated based on an assumed price per share of $24.83.

Table of Contents

Prior to the closing, Cloudmed will deliver to R1 its good faith estimate of its net debt, transaction expenses and the other Cloudmed amounts set forth above, and R1 will deliver to Cloudmed its good faith estimate of its transaction expenses and share issuances between the date of the Transaction Agreement and closing. The number of shares issued to the Sellers at the closing will be calculated based on those estimated amounts. The estimated amounts, and the resulting number of shares issued to the Sellers, will be finalized following the closing pursuant to customary adjustment procedures.

Effect on R1 Equity Awards and Warrants

Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, each R1 stock option, share of restricted stock, restricted stock unit and other form of incentive equity compensation that is outstanding or issuable thereafter under the R1 equity incentive plan or any previously adopted plan, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will cease to represent or relate to a share of R1 Common Stock and will be converted automatically to represent or relate to a share of New R1 Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as applied to such stock option, share of restricted stock, restricted stock unit or other form of incentive equity immediately prior to the consummation.

Upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, each outstanding warrant to purchase R1 Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, will cease to represent or relate to a share of R1 Common Stock and will be converted automatically to represent or relate to a share of New R1 Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to warrant immediately prior to the consummation.

Withholding

New R1, Merger Sub, and any other party hereto with an obligation to deduct and withhold pursuant to any applicable tax law will each be entitled to deduct and withhold any required taxes from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. To the extent such amounts are withheld and paid over to the appropriate governmental entity, they will be treated for all purposes of the Transaction Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom the deduction and withholding was made.

No Appraisal Rights

Under Delaware law, none of the stockholders of R1 have appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

Stockholder Approval

The Merger does not require the approval of R1’s stockholders under Section 251(g) of the DGCL. However, the issuance of the shares of New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers in the Contribution (referred to as the Stock Issuance) does require the approval of R1’s stockholders pursuant to the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.

TCP-ASC, which beneficially owned approximately 50.1% of the outstanding R1 Common Stock as of January 9, 2022, is party to the Voting Agreement with R1 and Cloudmed pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, TCP-ASC agreed until the Expiration Time to vote all Covered Shares in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal at the stockholder meeting even if the R1 Board effects a Change in Recommendation.

As described above in “Conditions to the Completion of the Transactions,” the completion of the Transactions is conditioned upon the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. The applicable parties (or their

applicable affiliate) (i) made the filings required under the HSR Act on January 24, 2022 and (ii) started the pre-notification period with the European Commission, with a view on submitting the filing under the EU Merger Regulations, on January 21, 2022.

R1, New R1 and Cloudmed are obligated to contest on the merits, through litigation, any objections or opposition raised by any governmental authority to the consummation of the Transactions.

Registration Statement

As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of the Transaction Agreement, R1 and New R1 are obligated to prepare and file with the SEC this proxy statement/prospectus and New R1 is obligated to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, to register under the Securities Act the issuance of shares of New R1 Common Stock in connection with the Merger. R1 and New R1 will use their reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the registration statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Promptly after the registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and in no event later than twenty-five (25) business days prior to the stockholders meeting, R1 will mail the proxy statement/prospectus and proxy cards to its stockholders. R1 and New R1 are required to provide Cloudmed with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the proxy statement/prospectus and registration statement, including any amendments thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

Stockholders Meeting; Fiduciary Exception to Recommendation

R1 is obligated under the Transaction Agreement to hold and convene a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of approving the issuance of the New R1 Common Stock to the Sellers in the Transactions. The stockholders meeting will occur not more than forty-five (45) days after the date the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. R1 will not change such record date for the stockholders meeting without the prior written consent of Cloudmed (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the board of directors of R1 has not made a Change in Recommendation, R1’s board of directors is required to include in the Proxy Statement its recommendation that stockholders vote in favor of the Stock Issuance (the “Recommendation”) and recommend at the Stockholders Meeting that the stockholders of R1 approve the Stock Issuance and R1 shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and solicit such approval. R1 is prohibited from adjourning or otherwise postponing or delaying the stockholders meeting without the prior written consent of Cloudmed except in certain circumstances.

Neither the R1 board of directors nor any committee thereof shall (A) withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Cloudmed, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Cloudmed, the Recommendation or its declaration of advisability, or resolve or agree to take any such action, (B) subject to certain exceptions, adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, any transaction resulting in a third party acquiring or receiving 15% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of R1 Common Stock (“R1 Acquisition Transaction”), or resolve or agree to take any such action, (C) following the date any R1 Acquisition Transaction or any materially favorable change in the business of R1 and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that first occurs after the date of the Transaction Agreement that was not known to the board of directors of R1 and was not reasonably foreseeable to the board of directors of R1, in either case, as of or prior to the date of the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement, or the existence of a bona fide proposal from a third party with respect to a conflicting transaction that was not solicited

(“Intervening Event”), is first made public or sent or given to the stockholders of R1, fail to issue a press release publicly reaffirming the Recommendation within five (5) business days after a request by Cloudmed to do so (it being understood that R1 will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than three separate occasions) or (D) fail to include the Recommendation in the proxy statement/prospectus when disseminated to the R1 stockholders (any actions in clauses (A) through (D) being referred to herein as a “Change in Recommendation”) (it being understood that a customary “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change in Recommendation). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, prior to the time the Requisite Vote is obtained, the board of directors of R1 may make a Change in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) an Intervening Event has occurred, (2) in light of such Intervening Event, the board of directors of R1 has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, (3) R1 has notified Cloudmed in writing that R1’s board of directors intends to take make a Change in Recommendation and the basis therefor (which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event in connection with which R1’s board of directors has given such notice) (any such notice, a “Triggering Notice”), (4) at least five (5) business days pass following Cloudmed’s receipt of the Triggering Notice (it being understood that any material change to the Intervening Event shall constitute a new Intervening Event and shall require R1 to provide a new Triggering Notice in respect of such Intervening Event and comply with these procedures in respect of such Intervening Event, except that, in such case, the five (5) business-day period referred to in this clause (4) and in clauses (5) and (6) shall be reduced to three (3) business days following the giving of such new Triggering Notice), (5) after providing such Triggering Notice and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, (x) R1 shall, during such five (5) business-day period, negotiate in good faith with Cloudmed and its Representatives, to the extent Cloudmed wishes to negotiate, with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement proposed by Cloudmed, and (y) in determining whether it may still under the terms of the Transaction Agreement make a Change in Recommendation, the board of directors of R1 shall take into account any changes to the terms of the Transaction Agreement proposed by Cloudmed and any other information provided by Cloudmed in response to such notice during such five (5) business-day period and (6) such Intervening Event is continuing and, after taking into account any changes to the terms of the Transaction Agreement proposed by Cloudmed and any other information provided by Cloudmed in response to a Triggering Notice during such five (5) business-day period, the board of directors of R1 again determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, R1 is required to submit the proposal in respect of the Stock Issuance to its stockholders at the stockholders meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Approval, and nothing contained in the Transaction Agreement (unless the Transaction Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms) relieves R1 of such obligation.

  (iv)

enter into any contract, agreement, or internal corporate action (including but not limited to, for example, a plan of liquidation or issuance of stock) or take any other action (or fail to take any other action) that would, or would be reasonably likely to, prevent the Transactions from qualifying for the intended tax treatment;

Financing

Cloudmed has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation as may be reasonably requested by R1 in connection with arranging, procuring and consummating the financing contemplated by R1’s debt commitment letter, and as is customarily provided for borrowers in financing of the type contemplated by the debt commitment letter including, without limitation:

  (viii)

furnishing such financial and operating data regarding Cloudmed and its subsidiaries that would enable R1 or the financing sources to prepare or roll forward, as applicable, a customary quality of earnings analysis or report with respect to Cloudmed and its subsidiaries.

R1 has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the debt commitment letter, including by using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the debt commitment letter and comply with its corresponding obligations, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the financing on terms and conditions materially consistent with the debt commitment letter (including, as necessary, agreeing to any requested changes to the commitments thereunder in accordance with any “flex” provisions contained in any fee letter), in each case, which terms do not impose new or additional conditions, or expand on the existing conditions, to the funding of the proceeds of the financing at or prior to the closing or reduce the aggregate amount of the proceeds from the financing below the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (taking into account cash on hand), (iii) satisfy (or obtain waivers of) on a timely basis all conditions set forth in the debt commitment letter or financing agreements applicable to R1 and its subsidiaries to obtain the financing and to the extent within its control, and (iv) upon satisfaction of such conditions and the other conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement consummate the financing at or prior to the closing.

Public Announcements Prior to Closing

R1 has agreed to obtain Cloudmed’s approval (which cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any press release or other public statement concerning the Transactions unless required by applicable law, court process or obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, or in connection with or relating to a Change in Recommendation. Cloudmed has agreed to obtain R1’s approval (which cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any press release or other public statement concerning the Transactions, unless required by applicable law, court process or obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

Board Composition

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement, promptly following the closing, the board of directors of New R1 will increase its size by three (3) directorships and will appoint three (3) persons designated by Cloudmed to the New R1 board of directors.

Director and Officer Liability

From and after the closing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Cloudmed Entities will (and New R1 will cause the Cloudmed Entities to) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, against any costs or expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal,

 

109


Table of Contents

administrative or investigative, and provide advancement of expenses to, all past and present directors, managers and officers of the Cloudmed Entities (in their respective capacities as such) (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to any act or omission by the Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a director, manager or officer of any Cloudmed Entity prior to the closing, to the same extent such persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date hereof by any Cloudmed Entity pursuant to the charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents of the Cloudmed Entities and any indemnification agreements in existence on the date of the Transaction Agreement with any Indemnified Party and (ii) cause to be maintained in effect in the charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents of the Cloudmed Entities (or any successors thereto) for a period of six (6) years after the closing date, provisions regarding indemnification, limitation of liability and advancement of expenses of Indemnified Parties to the same extent as such provisions contained in the charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents of the Cloudmed Entities as of the date of the Transaction Agreement.

In addition, on or prior to the closing, Cloudmed has agreed to obtain, and to be effective at the closing, one or more prepaid “tail” insurance policies covering present directors and officers of Cloudmed and its subsidiaries with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the closing date containing terms and conditions that are, taken as a whole, at least as favorable as the Cloudmed Entities’ existing insurance policy for claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the closing, subject to a cap on the total cost of such policy. The cost of such policy will be borne by New R1.

R&W Insurance Policy

While not a condition to close the Transactions, R1, either directly or through an affiliate, may obtain a representation and warranty insurance policy in connection with the Transaction Agreement. The policy premium for, and all other costs and expenses attributable to, placement of any such insurance policy will be paid by New R1 or its subsidiaries.

Tax Matters

Each of the parties has agreed in the Transaction Agreement that, with respect to the Transactions, the following treatment is intended for U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and non-U.S.) income Tax purposes: (i) it is intended that the Contribution is integrated with the Merger and treated as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, and (ii) (A) it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (B) the Transaction Agreement is adopted as a plan of reorganization with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), and (C) it is intended as to R1 (and its direct and indirect owners and any holders of warrants in R1), the receipt of New R1 Common Stock and any warrants pursuant to the Merger will be governed by Section 354 of the Code, and the receipt of any stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and any other form of incentive equity pursuant to the Merger will be governed, to the extent applicable, by Section 354 of the Code. Clauses (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to as the intended tax treatment. Each of the parties agreed to report the Transactions consistently with the intended tax treatment, except in the case of a contrary “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code or a change in law, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify for the intended tax treatment. If any party discovers any fact that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Transactions from so qualifying, such party will notify the other parties and use reasonable best efforts to effect the Transactions (or substantially similar transactions) in a manner that would result in the intended tax treatment or treatment no less favorable than the intended tax treatment. Further, New R1 and R1 agree to file all tax returns and take tax positions consistently with the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a contrary “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, and agree not to take any action or fail to take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Coyote Reorganization to fail to qualify for the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment.

Registration Rights Agreement and Investor Rights Agreements

At the closing, (a) New R1, each Seller, TCP-ASC, IHC and LifePoint will enter into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, (b) New R1 and each Seller will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement, and (c) R1, New R1 and TCP-ASC will enter into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, in each case, substantially in the forms attached to the Transaction Agreement.

Employee Matters

Following the closing date through December 31, 2022 (or, if shorter, the applicable continuing employee’s period of employment), New R1 has agreed to provide each employee who is employed by any Cloudmed Entity prior to the closing and who remains so employed immediately following the closing (i) base salary or wages and annual and other short-term cash incentive and other bonus and commission opportunities (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation or retention and long-term incentive bonuses) that are, in each case, no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such employee immediately prior to the closing, and (ii) employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based benefits, retention and long-term incentive bonuses, defined benefit plan benefits and retiree health and welfare benefits) no less favorable in the aggregate than (A) those provided to such employee immediately prior to the closing date or (B) those provided to similarly situated employees of R1.

In addition, New R1 has agreed to give each Cloudmed employee full credit under any employee benefit plan or program made available to such employees by New R1 or any of its subsidiaries following the closing date for such employees’ service with any Cloudmed Entity for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting to the same extent and for the same purpose that such service was recognized by any Cloudmed Entity immediately prior to the closing date under the similar Cloudmed benefit plan (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan).

New R1 has also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) credit any expenses incurred by the Cloudmed employees and their eligible dependents under Cloudmed benefit plans that are group health plans in which such employees participated immediately prior to the closing during the portion of the applicable plan year prior to the closing toward satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under the analogous R1 benefit plans that are group health plans for the plan year in which the closing occurs; and (ii) waive any waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement, or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to an employee and his or her eligible dependents under any R1 benefit plan.

Common Stock Listing

New R1 and R1 have agreed to use their respective best efforts to cause the shares of New R1 Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger and the Contribution to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as reasonably practicable.

Termination

The Transaction Agreement provides that it may be terminated and the Transactions contemplated thereby may be abandoned at any time before the closing:

 

  (i)

by the mutual written agreement of R1 and Cloudmed;

 

  (ii)

by R1 upon delivery of written notice to Cloudmed, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made by Cloudmed or a Seller which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the failure of a condition to closing and (B) (x) cannot be cured by July 31, 2022, or (y) if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the date that is thirty

 

111


Table of Contents
  (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice to Cloudmed from R1 of such breach; provided that R1 may not terminate the Transaction Agreement pursuant to this provision if R1 is in breach of the Transaction Agreement in any material respect which breach has not been cured;

 

  (iii)

by Cloudmed upon delivery of written notice to R1, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by R1, which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the failure (x) cannot be cured by July 31, 2022, or (y) if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice to R1 from Cloudmed of such breach; provided that Cloudmed may not terminate the Transaction Agreement pursuant to this provision if Cloudmed is in breach of the Transaction Agreement in any material respect which breach has not been cured;

 

  (iv)

by Cloudmed or R1 upon delivery of written notice to the other if the closing has not occurred by July 31, 2022; provided that neither R1 nor Cloudmed is entitled to terminate the Transaction Agreement if the breach of, or failure to fulfill any obligation under the Transaction Agreement by, in the case of R1, any of R1, New R1 or Merger Sub or, in the case of Cloudmed, any Cloudmed Entity, has been the principal cause of the failure of the closing to occur at or prior to July 31, 2022;

 

  (v)

by Cloudmed or R1 upon delivery of written notice to the other if any governmental authority shall have issued or entered any final and non-appeallable judgment, order or decree, enacted any law or taken any other action which, in any such case, permanently restrains enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or would prevent the closing from occurring as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement on or prior to July 31, 2022;

 

  (vi)

by Cloudmed or R1 upon delivery of written notice to the other if approval of the Stock Issuance by the stockholders of R1 shall not have occurred at the stockholders meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of said meeting at which a vote upon the approval of the Stock Issuance was taken; or

 

  (vii)

by Cloudmed, if (i) all of the conditions to R1 and New R1’s obligation to close the Transactions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by the taking of actions or delivery of documents on the closing date, but which conditions are capable of being satisfied if the closing date were the date of the notice of termination delivered by Cloudmed to R1) have been satisfied or waived, (ii) R1 and New R1 have failed to consummate the closing on the date on which they are required pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (iii) Cloudmed delivers written notice to R1 stating that (A) the closing conditions have been satisfied or that Cloudmed is willing to irrevocably waive any unsatisfied conditions and (B) that Cloudmed is ready, willing and able to consummate the Transactions, and (iv) R1 and New R1 have not consummated the closing within three (3) business days following receipt of such notice.

In the event the Transaction Agreement is terminated, the Transaction Agreement (other than certain specified sections thereof) will become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any affiliate, stockholder, member, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party or its affiliates); provided that, the termination of the Transaction Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for such party’s willful and material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in the Transaction Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or for such party’s actual fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Cloudmed pursuant to clause (vii) above, then R1 has agreed to pay Cloudmed an amount equal to the lesser of (y) Cloudmed’s out-of-pocket transaction expenses and (z) $10,000,000.

INTERESTS OF R1’S DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE TRANSACTIONS

None of R1’s executive officers or members of the R1 Board is party to an arrangement with R1, or participates in any R1 plan, program or arrangement, that provides such executive officer or trustee with financial incentives that are contingent upon the consummation of the Transactions.

As discussed in the section titled “The Transactions—Description of the Investor Rights Agreements—TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement,” New R1 will pay directly or reimburse TCP-ASC for reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses that arise in connection with or directly relate to TCP-ASC’s performance under the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, or otherwise relating to the management and oversight of TCP-ASC’s investment in New R1, including any reasonable attorney’s fees (other than expenses related to filings solely in TCP-ASC’s capacity as a shareholder of New R1), subject to a $100,000 per fiscal year cap. New R1 will pay directly or reimburse TCP-ASC for reasonable fees of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Covington & Burling LLP and any filing fees, expenses, fines or penalties in connection with any filing or approval required by any governmental authority (or a failure to make such a filing), in each case relating to or in connection with the A&R Investor Rights Agreement and the Transactions. Certain of R1’s directors, including Messrs. Moszkowski, Sacks, Speranzo and Tersigni, are affiliated with TCP-ASC.

R1’s directors and executive officers are expected to continue as the directors and executive officers of New R1 as of immediately after completion of the Contribution. Information about R1’s directors and executive officers can be found in the sections titled “R1 Board of Directors” and “R1 Executive Officers” beginning on pages 154 and 157, respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is expected that, in connection with the closing of the Transactions, the current chief executive officer of Cloudmed, Lee Rivas, will be appointed as president of New R1. Mr. Rivas’ compensation and other terms of his employment with New R1 have not yet been determined.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE TRANSACTIONS

R1 and Cloudmed prepare their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. R1 will account for the Contribution as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting based on Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, with R1 treated as the acquiror. In identifying R1 as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, R1 took into account a number of factors, including which entity is issuing its equity interests, the expectation that following the closing of the Transactions, holders of shares of New R1 Common Stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 70% of New R1 Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and the intended senior management of New R1 following the Transactions. No single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that R1 is the acquiror for accounting purposes; rather, all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.

R1 will record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values at the date of completion of the Contribution. R1 will record any excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Contribution-related costs that are not part of the purchase price consideration are expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for potential impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The allocation of purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates using assumptions R1 management and Cloudmed management believe are reasonable based on currently available information. The allocation of purchase price, including the fair value assessment of assets and liabilities, will be based in part on a detailed valuation that has not yet been completed, and will not be completed prior to the closing of the Transactions.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION

The following section is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization to U.S. holders of R1 Common Stock, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the Holding Company Reorganization, including any future share repurchase or tender offer (whether or not such transactions occur in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization). The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of R1 Common Stock. Neither R1 nor Cloudmed has sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to those discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of R1 Common Stock.

This discussion addresses only those U.S. holders of R1 Common Stock that hold their stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) and does not address all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances (such as a stockholder owning directly, indirectly or constructively five percent or more of R1 Common Stock or the impact of the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income). This discussion also does not address holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

 

   

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

   

persons holding R1 Common Stock as part of a straddle, other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

 

   

banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

 

   

real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

 

   

brokers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies;

 

   

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

   

partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

 

   

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

 

   

persons deemed to sell R1 Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

   

persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to R1 Common Stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

 

   

persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our R1 Common Stock;

 

   

“qualified foreign pension funds” (within the meaning of Section 897(1)(2) of the Code) and entities, all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds; and

 

   

tax-qualified retirement plans.

The application and the consequences of the rules described below to a U.S. holder, as defined below, who owns both R1 Common Stock and R1 Warrants immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization may

 

117


Table of Contents

differ from the application and the consequences of such rules to a U.S. holder who owns solely R1 Common Stock immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization. U.S. holders who own both R1 Common Stock and R1 Warrants immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization should consult their tax advisors regarding the application and the consequences of the rules below to them in light of their particular circumstances.

For purposes of this section, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of R1 Common Stock who is any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

 

   

a corporation, including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate if its income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (b) it has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds R1 Common Stock the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding R1 Common Stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF HOLDERS OF R1 COMMON STOCK 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. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU, IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES, OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF R1 COMMON STOCK.

Treatment of the Holding Company Reorganization

Based upon certain assumptions, as well as certain covenants and undertakings of certain parties to the Transactions (including R1 and New R1, the Sellers, and TCP-ASC), the exchange by U.S. holders of shares of R1 Common Stock for shares of New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Reorganization, together with the contribution by the Sellers of 100% of the equity in Cloudmed Parent to New R1 in exchange for New R1 Common Stock pursuant to the Contribution, constitutes a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code. It is also intended that the Holding Company Reorganization is treated as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

The closing of the Transactions is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Holding Company Reorganization will qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code or as reorganization (or any other tax-deferral provision of the Code), and neither R1 or Cloudmed intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Holding Company Reorganization. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Holding Company Reorganization’s qualification for Section 351(a) of the Code or as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS. The conclusion regarding the application of Section 351 of the Code to the Holding Company Reorganization is only as of the date hereof. If any of the facts, covenants or undertakings by R1, New R1, Cloudmed, or the Sellers is incorrect,

incomplete or inaccurate or is violated, the accuracy of the this conclusion may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization could differ from those described herein.

Treatment of the Holding Company Reorganization to U.S. Holders

In transactions, like the Holding Company Reorganization, that qualify for treatment under Section 351(a) or under Section 368(a) of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by a U.S. holder of R1 Common Stock that exchanges R1 Common Stock solely for shares of New R1 Common Stock in the Holding Company Reorganization. Accordingly, the aggregate tax basis of the shares of New R1 Common Stock received by a U.S. holder in the Holding Company Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the R1 Common Stock exchanged therefor. In addition, the holding period of the shares of New R1 Common Stock received in the Holding Company Reorganization by a U.S. holder will include the period during which the U.S. holder held its R1 Common Stock through the date of the Holding Company Reorganization. Complex considerations would apply to U.S. holders that own both R1 Common Stock and R1 Warrants in the unintended event that the Holding Company Reorganization does not qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(B) or Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. In such circumstance, such shareholders may recognize gain in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, and their holding period and tax basis in their shares of New R1 Common Stock may differ from that in their shares of R1 Common Stock. Such shareholders should consult their tax advisors in this regard.

The conclusions expressed above are based on current law. Future legislative, administrative or judicial changes or interpretations, which can apply retroactively, could affect the accuracy of those conclusions.

This discussion is intended to provide only a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization to holders of R1 Common Stock. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the Holding Company Reorganization. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the Holding Company Reorganization.

BUSINESS OF CLOUDMED

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “Cloudmed” refers to Revint Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries

The Company

Cloudmed is a leading revenue intelligence platform that helps healthcare providers get paid for the care they provide. Cloudmed’s cloud-based platform combines intelligent automation and deep domain expertise to analyze large volumes of clinical and financial data, identify missed opportunities, and deliver additional revenue to Cloudmed’s customers.

Cloudmed serves over 400 of the largest healthcare providers in the United States, including 87 of the largest 100 hospital systems in all 50 states, and delivered $1.8 billion in additional revenue to its customers in 2021. Its customers include leading non-profit and for-profit institutions that make up over $800 billion of hospital and physician net patient revenue. Cloudmed’s customers rely on the revenue it delivers to remain financially healthy and focused on the vital mission of delivering care to their communities.

Healthcare providers in the United States struggle to fully capture revenue they are contractually owed. They face numerous challenges such as frequent regulatory changes, complex payer contracts, and the need to manage large-scale clinical and financial data sets. Providers often utilize a labor-intensive approach to revenue collection which is prone to human error and does not address root causes of missed revenue. Cloudmed’s platform was purpose built to solve this problem and address the root causes of revenue leakage.

Cloudmed’s proprietary revenue intelligence platform combines cloud-based data architecture and intelligent automation with subject matter expertise to deliver a comprehensive solution that addresses persistent revenue leakage.

 

   

Cloud-based data architecture provides: (i) scalability to process massive volumes of demographic, clinical, and financial data, from over 500 million patient encounters annually, (ii) flexibility to ingest different types of data from numerous disparate sources and customers, and (iii) for efficient implementation of Cloudmed’s solutions to rapidly deliver value.

 

   

Intelligent automation includes: (i) predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to analyze data and identify patterns and errors in clinical documentation, claim submission, and payer denials, and (ii) automation of revenue cycle tasks that are typically inefficient and labor intensive.

 

   

Subject matter experts have deep domain expertise in healthcare payments and are supported by a talented team of data scientists and engineers who continually incorporate that expertise to enhance Cloudmed’s platform and refine its algorithms.

Cloudmed’s platform continuously gets smarter, benefiting from the incremental data of each new customer to yield better predictive modeling capabilities and greater ROI for all Cloudmed’s customers. As a result, Cloudmed’s solutions become increasingly impactful to both existing and new customers.

Cloudmed benefits from a highly efficient sales and marketing model. Its access to customer data enables Cloudmed to identify new solution opportunities and consistently deliver additional value across its customer base. Track record of results has earned them recognition and trust as a value-added partner. As a result, Cloudmed enjoys a rapid sales cycle and powerful cross-sell relative to traditional software or services go-to-market models.

Cloudmed has created a scalable business model that generates strong financial performance.

 

   

Multi-Year History of Growth at Scale: Cloudmed generated revenue of $331.4 million, $168.3 million, and $119.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing 96.9% and 41.0% growth for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Aligned Revenue Model: Cloudmed’s financial performance is directly tied to the revenue Cloudmed delivers to its customers. The majority of its contracts are structured such that it receives a percentage of the revenue that it helps its customers achieve. As a result of its aligned financial model, Cloudmed has consistently generated a 3-5x ROI for its customers and provided a substantial contribution to customers’ earnings. Furthermore, this strong financial alignment builds trust with customers, simplifies their decision to adopt Cloudmed Solutions, and creates durability in Cloudmed’s relationships.

 

   

Highly Recurring Revenue with Significant Visibility: Cloudmed’s revenue is supported by tailwinds of rising healthcare utilization and by increasing reimbursement complexity that creates persistent revenue leakage for providers. Cloudmed’s ability to continue to uncover revenue opportunities for longstanding customers combined with very low attrition rates (less than 3% annually) is reflected in its net revenue retention rate of 117% for the year ended December 31, 2021. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Cloudmed Business—Key Factors Affecting Cloudmed’s Results of Operations” for additional information regarding net revenue retention rate and how such metric is calculated. Cloudmed has strong visibility on future performance due to long-term contracts, low customer attrition, and consistent bookings-to-revenue conversion.

 

   

Low Customer Concentration: Cloudmed provides revenue intelligence solutions to over 400 customers. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Industry Challenges

Healthcare providers are financially challenged by the rising cost to deliver care relative to reimbursement rates for their services. According to the American Hospital Association, more than one-third of U.S. hospitals will operate with negative margins. Limited financial resources prevent individual hospitals from being able to invest in the technology required to address key revenue cycle challenges.

The following are key challenges that Cloudmed’s customers face:

 

   

Reimbursement Complexity: Providers maintain hundreds of different complex and highly bespoke reimbursement contracts that can be ambiguous, subject to interpretation, and are frequently renegotiated. Government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid have eligibility and payment rules that change annually or even quarterly. Furthermore, payers are pursuing more complex payment arrangements, including value-based reimbursements, that heighten the need to accurately capture clinical and financial data.

 

   

Large-Scale Data Complexity: The total amount of healthcare data being generated in the United States doubles every three years. Providers struggle to keep up in a reimbursement environment that requires large amounts of clinical and financial data to determine and support reimbursement. Providers often must rely on a patchwork of disparate data sources and Electronic Medical Records (“EMRs”) which makes it difficult to retrieve and consolidate data into a single claim.

 

   

Analytics and Processing Requirements: As data requirements increase, providers are challenged to keep up with the advanced technology needed to analyze data and derive critical operational insights. Providers lack the resources needed to invest in technology, resulting in an overreliance on expensive and less effective manual labor. Manual processes often lead to human error resulting in poor revenue capture and revenue leakage.

 

   

Limited Hospital Data Sets: Providers typically have access only to data generated and stored within their own systems. Optimal revenue cycle operations require the ability to match provider specific information with a multitude of health plan payments data for specific patient episodes across care settings and geographies. As a result, providers have limited visibility into broader payment trends and have difficulty identifying potential revenue opportunities.

 

121


Table of Contents
   

Pressure from Commercial and Government Payers: Relative to providers, payers are typically larger enterprises with greater financial resources. They have superior ability to invest in technology solutions and engage specialized vendors to develop advanced reimbursement strategies. Government and commercial payers have financial incentives to minimize their medical claim costs which drives increased financial pressure on already strained healthcare providers.

The CloudmedAI Revenue Intelligence Platform

 

 

LOGO

Table of Contents

Revenue Intelligence Expertise: Cloudmed’s deep domain expertise in healthcare payments is a critical capability which enables the delivery of revenue intelligence and consistent results to its customers. Cloudmed’s data scientists and rules specialists use that domain expertise, machine learning, and extensive research to develop new algorithms and enhance its platform to deliver additional revenue opportunities.

Cloudmed’s Market Opportunity

According to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, hospitals and physicians accounted for nearly $2 trillion of U.S. healthcare spend in 2019. Further, it has been estimated that U.S. healthcare organizations lose approximately 3% of net revenues annually to denials and that hospitals could save up to 2% of annual costs by improving contract management and reducing inaccuracies and noncompliance. Based on this estimated annual revenue leakage of 5% and a typical performance fee of approximately 20%, Cloudmed estimates that the total addressable market for its solutions is approximately $20 billion annually. Cloudmed estimates its total opportunity within its current customer base to be in excess of $8 billion annually. Cloudmed has calculated this estimated opportunity based on (i) approximately $800 billion of net patient revenue in the United States that it currently serves, (ii) estimated annual revenue leakage of 5%, and (iii) its typical performance fee of approximately 20%.

Cloudmed expects its estimated market opportunity will continue to grow as healthcare spend rises, labor pressures increase, and complexity drives increased outsourcing from providers.

Cloudmed’s Customer Value Proposition

Cloudmed’s end-to-end revenue intelligence solutions drive tangible financial improvement for customers and allow them to focus on delivering patient care.

 

   

Simplified Revenue Capture: Customers face reimbursement complexities, technology and human error, and staff turnover which impact their ability to capture revenue. Cloudmed simplifies the revenue cycle process for its customers by leveraging machine learning to identify missed revenue opportunities rather than relying on manual labor that is time consuming and error prone.

Cloudmed’s Solutions

Cloudmed’s offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to help its customers identify and capture appropriate reimbursement from government and commercial payers. Cloudmed’s suite of solutions includes:

 

 

LOGO

Optimization Suite

Cloudmed’s Optimization Suite identifies and captures missed or underpaid revenue across the entire revenue cycle. Cloudmed insures accurate payer reimbursement through a comprehensive, purpose-built approach that targets coding, charging, billing, diagnosis-related groups (“DRGs”), transfer DRGs, and underpayments.

 

125


Table of Contents

Cloudmed’s Optimization Suite is comprised of DRG Validation, Charge Capture, Underpayment Recovery, and Transfer DRG.

 

   

DRG Validation: DRG codes are a combination of diagnosis and procedure codes intended to define medical resource utilization for inpatient care, which can vary depending on each patient’s condition, treatment, and length of stay. The complexity of the DRG system often results in incorrect codes and inaccurate reimbursement. Cloudmed’s solution delivers a comprehensive review of demographics, clinical documentation, diagnosis coding, procedure details, charge entries, and financial data, to ensure accurate claims submission for reimbursement.

 

   

Underpayment Recovery: Providers struggle to identify claims where they were insufficiently reimbursed. Even when underpayments are identified, the process of recovering the revenue from payers is time consuming and complex, often resulting in providers writing off those claims as uncollectible. Cloudmed’s solution retrospectively identifies and recovers missing revenue on zero balance claims.

 

   

Charge Capture: Revenue collection for hospital-based services requires aggregation of a large number of individual charges prior to submission of a claim. These charges are listed on the chargemaster, a comprehensive list of a hospital’s unique products, procedures, and services, which contains hundreds of thousands of individual items that have to map to complex claim payment rules. Cloudmed’s proprietary algorithms uncover missed revenue on both hospital and physician claims by identifying missing charges, incorrect charges, mismatched charges, or other errors in the claim.

 

   

Transfer DRG: Revenue leakage may occur when patients are transferred from a hospital to another healthcare setting in order to complete treatment and recovery. In certain cases, the discharge status is inaccurately coded and results in missed reimbursement. Cloudmed’s solution analyzes these discharges against patient transfer rules to ensure accurate reimbursement.

Acceleration Suite

Cloudmed’s Acceleration Suite helps customers resolve AR, improve time to revenue, and capture appropriate reimbursement. The Acceleration Suite includes Denials Recovery, Complex Claims, and AR Recovery.

 

   

Denials Recovery: Payers deny approximately 6% to 13% of all healthcare providers’ claims for a variety of reasons, including medical necessity, improper coding, and lack of required documentation. Cloudmed’s solution helps prevent and overturn such denials on behalf of its customers.

 

   

Complex Claims: Motor Vehicle Accident, Third-Party Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Veteran Administration claims take a disproportionate amount of time to resolve due to complex state and federal laws and regulations. Cloudmed’s solution resolves some of the most challenging claims by leveraging its regulatory expertise across different states. By utilizing Cloudmed’s Complex Claims programs, customers can reallocate their staff to other aspects of their AR processes while allowing Cloudmed’s platform to deliver results in these more complex areas.

 

   

AR Recovery: Hospitals write off millions of dollars in uncollectible accounts each year because they lack the ability and resources to efficiently pursue aged, delayed, and denied claims, especially for complex and smaller balances. Furthermore, staffing constraints can create delays in AR. By utilizing Cloudmed’s AR Recovery solution, customers are able to keep their receivables at a minimum. Cloudmed’s expertise and automated solutions fill in the gaps, delivering revenue that otherwise would not have been captured.

Other Solutions

Cloudmed’s government related solutions help customers capture accurate reimbursement from government programs that financially assist hospitals to treat uninsured or under-insured populations. Cloudmed navigates a

complex regulatory environment with decades of expertise in federal and state policies. Cloudmed’s solutions include Medicare Bad Debt (“MBD”) and Worksheet S-10, Disproportionate Share Hospital (“DSH”) and Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) Redetermination, and 340B Discovery.

 

   

Medicare Bad Debt and Worksheet S-10: Medicare allows hospitals to collect reimbursement for certain deductible and copayment amounts incurred by Medicare beneficiaries that are unpaid and uncollectible. Hospitals can also quality for Uncompensated Care (“UCC”) reimbursement based on the amount of charity care and non-Medicare bad debt that they report on Worksheet S-10. Many hospitals do not realize full MBD or UCC reimbursement due to insufficient documentation and/or internal processes to identify eligible claims. Cloudmed’s solutions audit the lifecycle of qualifying claims and identify all required documentation to optimize reimbursement and ensure compliance.

 

   

Disproportionate Share Hospital and Supplemental Security Income Redetermination: Hospitals that serve a significant proportion of low-income patients are eligible to receive payments from CMS. Due to the difficulty in identifying DSH eligible days, Cloudmed’s customers often do not realize full Medicare add-on payments. Cloudmed improves revenue by identifying additional DSH eligible days and underreported SSI percentages.

 

   

340B Discovery: The 340B Drug Pricing Program requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to sell outpatient drugs at discounted prices to hospitals that care for a significant number of uninsured and low-income patients. The program is governed by an extremely complex set of rules and regulations and requires significant efforts from hospitals. Cloudmed’s solution reviews ineligible claims and looks for supporting documentation so that missed 340B savings can be realized. Cloudmed’s also looks for opportunities to strengthen future performance.

Cloudmed’s automation platform simplifies complex, labor-intensive workflows, improves data accuracy, and accelerates cash collection. Cloudmed’s platform integrates with major EHRs and other third-party systems. Cloudmed provides automation capabilities across the entirety of the revenue cycle, including Insurance Discovery, Prior Authorization, and Claims Statusing.

 

   

Insurance Discovery: Nearly 5% of self-pay patients have billable insurance coverage that the hospital is unaware of at the time of registration. Cloudmed’s automated solution cross-compares patient data with external sources to identify missed insurance coverage.

 

   

Prior Authorization: Hospitals must successfully manage a multi-step process for each patient, service, and pharmaceutical to ensure appropriate insurance authorization is obtained for reimbursement. Cloudmed’s solution automates communication between the healthcare system and insurance company to prevent claim denials and ensure timely reimbursement.

 

   

Claims Status: Healthcare systems are consistently challenged with labor constraints that prevent timely follow-up and assessment of claims. Cloudmed’s automated solution gathers claim status, allowing for workflow prioritization and deployment of internal resources to higher-value work, thus accelerating cash collections.

Cloudmed’s Customers

Cloudmed provides its end-to-end revenue intelligence solutions to healthcare providers, including hospital systems and physician groups, in the United States.

Cloudmed serves over 400 of the largest healthcare providers, including 87 out of the top 100 hospital systems in all 50 states. Cloudmed’s customers include leading non-profit and for-profit institutions that make up $800 billion of hospital and physician net patient revenue in the United States.

The healthcare industry in which Cloudmed operates is highly regulated and healthcare technology solutions providers can be subject to a number of federal and state healthcare regulatory laws that restrict certain business practices in the healthcare industry. A number of the services Cloudmed provides are subject to a complex array of healthcare laws and regulations, including, among others, data privacy and security laws, a number of fraud and abuse laws, including the false claims act (“FCA”) and the anti-kickback statute (“AKS”), as well as similar state laws, although Cloudmed does not directly provide any items or services that are reimbursed by any third-party payer. Laws and regulations can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations may change periodically, based on changes in regulatory agency enforcement priorities, for example. Cloudmed cannot be assured that a review of its business by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in determinations that could adversely affect its operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change in ways that restrict its operations. The resources and costs required to comply with these laws, rules, and regulations are high. If Cloudmed is found to have violated these laws, rules, or regulations, its business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially, adversely affected.

Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Laws

Existing federal laws, as well as similar state laws, governing Medicare, Medicaid, other government sponsored healthcare programs (“FHCPs”), and other non-governmental arrangements and interactions, impose a variety of fraud and abuse prohibitions and restrictions on healthcare companies, including Cloudmed and its provider customers. These laws are interpreted broadly and can be enforced aggressively by multiple government agencies, including the OIG, the U.S. Department of Justice, CMS, and various state agencies.

Federal and state fraud and abuse laws apply to and affect Cloudmed’s financial relationships and other ordinary and common business interactions with its customers, including hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare entities. In particular, the AKS prohibits one person from “knowingly and willfully” offering or paying any “remuneration” to another person to induce the recipient to (i) refer an individual for the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part under Medicare, Medicaid, or any other FHCP, or (ii) purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility, service, or item for which payment may be made in whole or in part under an FHCP. The AKS also prohibits a person from soliciting or receiving remuneration in exchange for engaging in any of these activities. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. The AKS includes statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors that protect certain arrangements. Failure to meet the requirements of an exception or safe harbor, however, does not render an arrangement illegal. Rather, the government may evaluate such arrangements on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all facts and circumstances, including the parties’ intent and the arrangement’s potential for abuse. The AKS has been broadly interpreted by federal courts and agencies, and a violation of the AKS can potentially subject a healthcare business to government investigation, enforcement, and prosecution, which can be costly and time consuming.

Cloudmed is also subject to federal laws authorizing the imposition of criminal, civil, and administrative penalties for submitting false or fraudulent claims for reimbursement to FHCPs. These laws include the FCA, which prohibits knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false claims to FHCPs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE (the program for military dependents and retirees), the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Furthermore, the FCA does not require that the individual or company that presented or caused to be presented an allegedly false claim have actual knowledge of its falsity. The statute applies where the individual or entity acted in “reckless disregard” or in “deliberate ignorance” of the truth or falsity of the claim. The FCA also applies to the improper retention of identified overpayments and includes “whistleblower” provisions that permit private citizens to sue a claimant on behalf of the government and share in the amounts recovered under the law. Claims for services that were induced by kickbacks and in violation of the AKS may also form the basis for FCA liability. In recent years, many cases have been brought against healthcare companies by the government and by “whistleblowers,” which have resulted in judgments and settlements involving substantial payments to the government by the companies involved. Penalties for a violation of the FCA include fines for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages caused by each false claim. The cost to defend against allegations can also be substantial.

In addition, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law imposes substantial civil monetary penalties against a person or entity that engages in other prohibited activities, such as presenting or causing to be presented a claim to a FHCP that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or for a claim that is false or fraudulent, or providing remuneration to a FHCP beneficiary that the person or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a provider or supplier. Regulators also have the authority to exclude individuals and entities from participation in FHCP under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law.

The civil and administrative false claims statutes are being applied in a broad range of circumstances. For example, claims for services that are medically unnecessary or fail to meet applicable coverage standards may, under certain circumstances, violate these statutes. Claims for services that were induced by kickbacks and

 

130


Table of Contents

violations of the federal physician self-referral law, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, may also form the basis for FCA liability. Many of the laws and regulations referenced above can be used in conjunction with each other.

HIPAA also established federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services. Similar to the AKS, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

Additionally, many of the states in which Cloudmed operates also have similar fraud and abuse focused laws that apply to its business. The scope of healthcare laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities who often have broad discretion. Some state fraud and abuse laws apply to items or services reimbursed by any payer, including patients and commercial insurers, not just those reimbursed by a FHCP.

Violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that apply may result in significant penalties, including, without limitation, administrative civil and criminal penalties, damages, disgorgement, fines, additional reporting requirements and compliance oversight obligations, contractual damages, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, exclusion from participation in FHCPs, and/or imprisonment (in the case of individuals).

Reimbursement

Cloudmed’s healthcare provider customers are subject to regulation by a number of governmental agencies, including those that administer FHCPs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Accordingly, Cloudmed’s customers are sensitive to legislative and regulatory changes in, and limitations on, the government healthcare programs and changes in reimbursement policies, processes, and payment rates. During recent years, there have been numerous federal legislative and administrative actions that have affected FHCPs, including adjustments that have reduced or increased payments to hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers and adjustments that have affected the complexity of Cloudmed’s work and required modifications to its platforms. Similarly, healthcare reform is causing some payers to transition from volume to value-based reimbursement models, which can include risk-sharing, bundled payment and other innovative approaches. It is possible that the federal or state governments will implement additional reductions, increases, or changes in reimbursement that may adversely affect Cloudmed’s customer base or increase Cloudmed’s cost of providing services. Because most of Cloudmed’s contracts are performance fee-based (i.e. revenue is determined as a percentage of the collections Cloudmed’s solutions realize for customers), any such changes could adversely affect Cloudmed’s financial condition by reducing the reimbursement due from its customers.

Healthcare Reform

In the United States, there have been, and Cloudmed expects there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system, many of which are intended to contain or reduce healthcare costs. By way of example, the ACA substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive, and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA and on June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the lower courts’ decision and effectively dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. It is unclear how healthcare reform measures enacted by Congress or implemented by the Biden administration or other challenges or modifications to the ACA, if any, will impact the ACA. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, President Biden issued an executive order on Strengthening Medicaid and the ACA, that, among other things, directed certain federal agencies to

 

131


Table of Contents

review and reconsider their existing policies and rules affecting accessibility and affordability of healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and waiver programs that include work requirements, and policies that may reduce Medicaid coverage and enrollment.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes included aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect on April 1, 2013. Due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, the 2% aggregated reductions will remain in effect through 2030, with the exception of a temporary suspension from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022, and a reduction of 1% from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022.

Renewed and reinvigorated calls for health insurance reform, as well as changes to the ACA, which could cause significant uncertainty in the United States healthcare market. Additional state and federal health care reform measures may also be adopted in the future, any of which could have a material impact on Cloudmed and its customers’ business and financial condition.

Data Privacy and Security Laws and Regulations

There are numerous U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personal information, including health information, to which Cloudmed is subject. In particular, HIPAA establishes privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of PHI, and require the implementation of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. Cloudmed’s customers are regulated as covered entities under HIPAA. As a service provider who creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of its covered entity customers, Cloudmed is a “business associate” as defined under HIPAA. As a business associate, Cloudmed is directly regulated by HIPAA and is required to, among other things, provide satisfactory written assurances to its covered entity customers through written business associate agreements that Cloudmed will provide its services in accordance with HIPAA.

Violations of HIPAA may result in civil and criminal penalties and a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. Cloudmed must also comply with HIPAA’s breach notification rule. Under the breach notification rule, business associates must notify covered entities of a breach, and those covered entities must notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay in the case of a breach of unsecured PHI, which may compromise the privacy, security, or integrity of the PHI. In addition, notification must be provided to the HHS and the local media in cases where a breach affects more than 500 individuals. Breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals must be reported to HHS on an annual basis. In the event of a breach, Cloudmed’s covered entity customers may require that Cloudmed provide assistance in the breach notification process and may seek indemnification and other contractual remedies.

State attorneys general also have the right to prosecute HIPAA violations committed against residents of their states. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action that would allow individuals to sue in civil court for a HIPAA violation, its standards have been used as the basis for the duty of care in state civil suits, such as those for negligence or recklessness in misusing personal information. In addition, HIPAA mandates that HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and their business associates for compliance. 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 paid by the violator. In light of recent enforcement activity and statements from HHS, Cloudmed expects increased federal and state HIPAA privacy and security enforcement efforts. Further, proposed changes to HIPAA provisions may increase Cloudmed’s costs to comply.

Many states in which Cloudmed operates also have laws that protect the privacy and security of personal information, including health information. These laws may be similar to or even more protective than HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. Where state laws are more protective than HIPAA, Cloudmed must comply with

 

132


Table of Contents

the state laws it is subject to, in addition to HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify Cloudmed’s planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. In addition, state laws are changing rapidly, and there is discussion of a new federal privacy law or federal breach notification law, to which Cloudmed may be subject.

In addition to HIPAA and state health information privacy laws, Cloudmed may be subject to other state and federal privacy laws, including consumer protection laws that prohibit unfair privacy and security practices and deceptive statements about privacy and security (e.g., Section 5(a) of the FTC Act) and laws that place specific requirements on certain types of activities, such as data security. According to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act. The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities.

In recent years, there have been a number of well publicized data breaches involving the improper use and disclosure of personal information and PHI; and, as a result, many states have responded to these incidents by enacting laws requiring holders of personal information to maintain safeguards and to take certain actions in response to a data breach, such as providing prompt notification of the breach to affected individuals and state officials. Notification must also be made in certain circumstances to affected individuals, federal authorities and others.

Further, Cloudmed is subject to the CCPA, which imposes obligations and restrictions on certain covered businesses regarding their collection, use, and sharing of personal information, and provides new and enhanced data privacy rights to California residents, such as affording them the right to access and delete their personal information and to opt out of certain sharing of personal information. Additionally, the CPRA was passed in November 2020 and becomes effective as of January 1, 2023, will impose additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation and will significantly modify the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information.

Facilities

Cloudmed’s corporate headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia, where Cloudmed leases approximately 45,000 square feet of space under a lease that expires in February 2029. Cloudmed also leases office space in Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas, and owns an approximately 7,000 square feet of office space in Florida. Cloudmed believes that its facilities are adequate for its current and anticipated future use and that it will be able to secure additional space as needed to accommodate expansion of its operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, Cloudmed is subject to various legal or regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. These may include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, and employment. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on Cloudmed because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE CLOUDMED BUSINESS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Cloudmed should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Cloudmed and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Cloudmed’s actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

Cloudmed is a leading revenue intelligence platform that helps healthcare providers get paid for the care they provide. Cloudmed’s cloud-based platform combines intelligent automation and deep domain expertise to analyze large volumes of clinical and financial data, identify missed opportunities, and deliver additional revenue to its customers.

Cloudmed’s platform aggregates and analyzes data from over 500 million patient encounters annually and from customers accounting for over $800 billion of total hospital and physician net patient revenue in the United States. The data is comprised of demographic, clinical, and financial information that resides in disparate, unconnected IT systems and includes clinical codes, billing, eligibility, and claims data. Cloudmed applies predictive algorithms and AI to analyze the data against every type of payer contract in order to model accurate payments across healthcare provider settings. Cloudmed’s data and technology are complemented by its subject matter experts in every area of the revenue cycle, as well as its data scientists and engineers, who build its platform and develop new algorithms. The combination of technology, data, and expertise enables Cloudmed’s platform to simplify the complex revenue cycle process and transform the way providers capture revenue.

Cloudmed offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to help its customers identify and capture appropriate reimbursement from all government and commercial payers. Cloudmed’s suite of solutions is comprised of:

 

   

Acceleration Suite, which helps customers speed cash collection, reduce AR, and capture appropriate reimbursement;

 

   

Optimization Suite, which helps customers capture missed or underpaid revenue for the care they provide; and

 

   

Other Solutions, which includes government related solutions to help customers capture savings from government programs, as well as automation solutions to help customers eliminate complex, labor-intensive workflows through automation.

Cloudmed’s end-to-end revenue intelligence solutions drive financial improvement for customers while allowing them to focus on delivering patient care. Cloudmed delivers significant value for its customers by: (i) simplifying revenue capture by leveraging machine learning to identify revenue opportunities and automating processes needed to capture the revenue, (ii) producing a high return on investment for its customers with an average ROI of 3-5x, and (iii) providing customers with a performance-based fee model that ensures alignment of interests.

Cloudmed believes its differentiated platform translates to a compelling financial profile characterized by:

 

   

Strong revenue growth at scale;

 

   

Highly recurring revenue with significant visibility driven by increasing healthcare utilization volumes combined with continual changes to reimbursement that create persistent revenue leakage; and

 

   

Low customer concentration with no single customer comprising more than 5% of Cloudmed’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cloudmed has demonstrated an ability to drive rapid and profitable growth, supported by a consistent track record of signing, onboarding, and delivering results for existing and new customers.

Cloudmed generated revenue of $331.4 million, $168.3 million, and $119.4 million, net loss of $31.2 million, $26.4 million and $30.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $133.1 million, $61.1 million, and $29.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Summary

Cloudmed continues to make progress against its strategic initiatives. Cloudmed’s key accomplishments in 2021 include:

 

   

Cloudmed continued to scale the business through expansion of Cloudmed’s product offerings to existing customers and through the acquisition of new customers. In addition to expanding the breadth of Cloudmed’s capabilities and solutions through organic growth, Cloudmed continued to expand through selective acquisitions to add new technology capabilities.

 

   

Cloudmed continued Cloudmed’s platform investment, focusing on its automation offerings and solutions expansion including pre-payment solutions, insurance eligibility discovery, clinical documentation improvement, and others. Furthermore, Cloudmed continues to develop products to target adjacent markets, invest in additional data and analytics solutions, and evaluate other opportunities for future innovation.

 

   

Cloudmed continued to navigate the complex environment presented by the COVID-19 pandemic by prioritizing its customers and employees. Although patient volumes returned to near pre-pandemic volumes, customers experienced resource constraints and looked to Cloudmed to help solve their needs through its product offerings.

Key Factors Affecting Cloudmed’s Results of Operations

Cloudmed’s results of operations and financial condition have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled “Risk Factors”. As a result, Cloudmed’s historical results of operations may not be comparable to its results of operations in future periods, and its results of operations may not be directly comparable from period to period.

Ability to Retain and Expand Offerings with Existing Customers

The long-term durability and growth of its existing revenue is driven by its ability to retain and cross-sell to existing customers. Cloudmed believes its platform is well suited to be cross sold to its customer base because of the attractive ROI it generates for its customers, Cloudmed’s low risk fee model and low implementation requirements. Furthermore, because of its effective and comprehensive suite of solutions, Cloudmed’s customers often consolidate with Cloudmed and replace smaller niche software and services vendors. Cloudmed’s continued to expand its solution offerings across its existing customer base. In 2021, the majority of Cloudmed’s bookings were from additional products cross-sold into existing customers. Cloudmed’s ability to continue to uncover revenue opportunities for longstanding customers is reflected in its net revenue retention rate of 117% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cloudmed calculates net revenue retention rate by dividing the trailing twelve months of revenue at the end of the current quarter by revenue for the trailing twelve months in the current corresponding quarter in the prior year from those same customers. The population of customers used are customers that generated revenue in the trailing twelve months of the current quarter ended in the prior year. Net revenue retention rate includes any expansion of revenue from existing customers and is net of revenue contraction and customer attrition. It also excludes revenue from new customers acquired in the last twelve months.

Ability to Attract New Customers

Cloudmed is also focused on attracting new customers, and expects to continue to invest in its sales and marketing efforts to drive new customer acquisition. In 2021, Cloudmed acquired 17 new customers through its organic sales process, indicating continued growth into unpenetrated whitespace.

Investment in Growth and Technology

Cloudmed plans to continue to invest in sustaining its significant growth and its ability to support a larger customer base over time. Achievement of Cloudmed’s growth strategy will require additional investments and result in higher expenses incurred, particularly in developing new solutions, enhancing existing solutions, as well as investments in technology and human resources, as it aims to achieve this growth without diluting or decreasing the level and quality of services Cloudmed provides. Developing and enhancing Cloudmed’s solutions can be time- and resource-intensive, and even once Cloudmed launches a new solution, it can take a significant amount of time to contract with customers and provide them with its suite of technology and data analytics tools before they begin generating revenue. This may increase costs for one or more periods before it begins generating revenue from new solutions. In addition, Cloudmed will continue to invest in its technology platform to empower its customers to further improve their results and optimize efficiencies. However, Cloudmed’s investments may be more expensive or take longer to develop than it expects and may not result in operational efficiencies.

Business Combinations and Divestitures

For the year ended December 31, 2021 Cloudmed has completed four acquisitions: (i) Data Bound Solutions, a provider of robotic process automation software and services to hospitals and health systems, for a purchase price of $12.9 million; (ii) Managed Care Revenue Consulting Group, a growing provider in revenue cycle solutions for hospital networks, for a purchase price of $29.4 million; (iii) Eligibill, a leading provider of insurance discovery services for hospitals and healthcare systems, for a purchase price of $3.4 million; and (iv) Par8o, an innovative healthcare technology company specializing in 340B discovery and patient referral management technology services, for a purchase price of $196.7 million. During 2020, Cloudmed acquired Praxis and Triage and divested its Professional and Advisory consulting services. Cloudmed acquired Washington & West in 2019. Cloudmed’s acquisitions expanded its offerings available to customers and increased its data set which broadens Cloudmed’s visibility into payment trends and enhances its analytic capabilities across customers. The results of operations and financial condition of acquired and divested businesses have been included in its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets from the date of acquisition or divestiture, as applicable. See Note 3 to Cloudmed’s audited consolidated financial statements for additional information with respect to these transactions.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and created uncertainty regarding its duration and impact to Cloudmed’s customers, associates, and vendors.

Although Cloudmed has seen fluctuations in case counts with the emergence of different variants of the COVID-19 virus as the pandemic has evolved over the last two years, patient volumes mostly recovered during 2021 to pre-pandemic levels, though Cloudmed cannot precisely quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the numerous other variables that may be unrelated. Moreover, Cloudmed cannot predict the extent to which its business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity will ultimately be impacted based on the timing and severity of the pandemic. However, Cloudmed continues to assess its impact on its business and is actively managing its response.

In response to the pandemic in early 2020, Cloudmed initiated a number of internal actions and those actions have continued into 2021 to ensure the health, safety, and wellness of its workforce; uninterrupted support for its customers and communities they serve; and business and operational continuity. Cloudmed’s

 

136

efforts have included repositioning its workforce to a work-from-home environment, restricting all non-essential travel, and permanently closing certain satellite offices. Cloudmed also deferred certain payroll tax remittances to the federal government as allowed under the CARES Act, allowing Cloudmed to shift cash outflows from 2020 to 2021 and 2022. As Cloudmed navigates the uncertainties of the pandemic, its focus has been on the health and safety of its employees, while balancing long-term growth opportunities with short-term challenges. Cloudmed continued to operate effectively in a remote work environment throughout the COVID-19 pandemic without sacrificing the value delivered to its customers. Cloudmed also expects to continue operating in a flexible workplace environment in the future.

See “Risk Factors—The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact Cloudmed’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, its employees and customers, and the industry in which Cloudmed operates.”

Components of Cloudmed’s Results of Operations

Revenue

Cloudmed derives revenues from a variety of solutions that cover phases from pre-claim to post-claim reimbursement status in order to identify underpaid or unidentified revenue on behalf of its customers. The significant majority of its contracts are performance-fee based on value delivered to customers, although there are some customers with fixed fee or time and material contracts. While contract terms vary by customer, generally most of Cloudmed’s contracts are renewed on an annual basis. Consistent Net Patient Revenue or discharges across its customer base, consistent finding rates over time and contractual fee rates result in high visibility into its revenue stream given the reoccurring nature of transactions or findings. Cloudmed recognizes revenue based on a distinct performance obligation over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Operations, including technology. Consists of direct costs associated with generating revenue. These costs include salaries, wages and benefits expense for Cloudmed’s coding auditors, reimbursement specialists, and customer delivery personnel that validate findings identified through its technology solutions. Technology expenses are included within cost of operations. Technology expense consists of maintenance of its platform, management of its network and infrastructure capabilities, and management of its information security, business continuity functions, costs related to its cloud-based computing services, software licensing and maintenance, telecommunications, and other data processing functions. Cloudmed does not allocate depreciation and amortization to cost of operations.

General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). Consists of salaries, related benefits, and other personnel expense for employees who do not have a direct role associated with revenue generation. These functions include finance, human resources, legal, and other administrative roles. SG&A costs also include rent and occupancy costs, telecommunications costs, insurance premiums, and professional services, including legal, audit, tax and advisory fees.

Depreciation and Amortization. Consists primarily of depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of capitalized software development costs, and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization also includes impairment associated with certain trade names.

Transaction Expenses. Consists primarily of professional services incurred in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, strategic investments, and other integration-type expenses.

Net (Gain) Loss related to Earn-out Liabilities. The (gain)/loss related to earn-out liabilities is a result of the fair value remeasurement of the contingent consideration associated with a business combination assumed at the acquisition date.

 

137


Table of Contents

Other. Consists of (gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets and franchise, property, sales and state taxes.

Overall, Cloudmed’s cost structure allows it to adjust quickly to meet the needs of Cloudmed’s business. Operating expenses are influenced by the mix of solutions and customers that contribute to Cloudmed’s revenues for any given period. Cloudmed regularly reviews expenses and investments in the context of revenue growth and any shifts it sees in cost of operations in order to align with its overall financial objectives.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense

Interest Expense, net. Consists of interest income, accrued interest expense and related payments on Cloudmed’s outstanding long-term debt and Revolving Credit Facility, as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Revint Holdings is considered a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes and all income is passed through to its shareholders. Revint Holdings has five subsidiaries that were formed as “C-corporations” that are subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Revenue

Revenue was $331.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $168.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The total increase in revenue was driven by growth from new business expansion

from existing customers, new customer acquisitions and growth from the Triage business acquired in October 2020. See “—Key Factors Affecting Cloudmed’s Results of Operations—Business Combinations and Divestitures.”

Operating Expense

Cloudmed’s total operating expenses increased $153.2 million, or 91.3%, to $321.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating expenses are comprised of:

 

   

Cost of Operations, including technology - Cost of Operations increased by $76.7 million, or 94.2%, to $158.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of operations was 47.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 48.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in costs of operations as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily reflects leverage from operational efficiencies executed across the business, as resources for certain solutions were combined and managed collectively. Cost of operations includes technology expense of $33.0 million and $17.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Equity - based compensation included in cost of operations was $1.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

   

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses - SG&A expense increased $43.4 million, or 96.2%, to $88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was consistent at 26.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 26.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Equity-based compensation included in SG&A was $3.4 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

   

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization increased $13.2 million, or 41.7%, to $44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization was 13.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 18.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects leverage from increased growth in revenue partially offset by additional intangible asset amortization associated with acquisitions. The $5.5 million impairment charge associated with certain trade names as a result of rebranding the company in 2020 also contributed to the decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

   

Transaction Expenses - Transaction expenses increased $3.2 million to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in transaction expenses is related to the four acquisitions completed in 2021 combined with the treatment of share-based awards for Par8o. In connection with the completion of the Par8o acquisition, all share-based awards were cash settled at the discretion of Cloudmed. The portion of the fair value of the awards not attributed to services previously provided of $14.1 million was included as post-combination expense within transaction expenses on Cloudmed’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

   

Net (Gain) Loss Related to Earn-out Liabilities - For the year ended December 31, 2021, Cloudmed recorded a net loss of $9.0 million related to earn-out liabilities. This net loss was attributable to performance factors from earn-outs exceeding initial expectations assumed at the time of the purchase price, primarily relating to MCRC, resulting in a loss of $9.0 million on earn-out liabilities.

 

   

Other - Other increased $0.3 million to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases in state taxes and sales taxes partially offset by a gain on disposal of fixed assets during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense

Non-operating (income) expense increased $16.6 million, or 61.9%, to $43.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in non-operating

 

139


Table of Contents

(income) expense primarily reflected higher interest expense resulting from the increased debt incurred to fund the Triage acquisition in October 2020. The weighted average debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021, was $663.2 million, compared to $345.2 million as of December 31, 2020.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefit was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which represents a $1.9 million decrease in Cloudmed’s income tax expense compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the release of a valuation allowance in connection with the Investment in Revint Intermediate III and a provision to return adjustment for a federal refund received in 2021.

Revenue

Revenue was $168.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $119.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The total increase of $48.9 million was driven by net acquisition and divestiture activity that added $46.6 million in incremental revenue. Organic revenue growth in 2020 was impacted by lower customer patient volumes and delays in implementations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Expenses

Cloudmed’s total operating expenses increased $25.9 million, or 18.2%, to $167.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Operating expenses are comprised of:

 

   

Cost of Operations, including technology - Cost of Operations increased $16.9 million, or 26.2%, to $81.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a percentage of revenue, cost of operations

 

140


Table of Contents
 

was 48.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 54.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in costs of operations as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by operational efficiencies executed across Cloudmed’s operations, as resources for certain solutions were combined and managed collectively. Cost of operations includes technology expense of $17.6 million and $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Equity-based compensation included in cost of operations was $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

   

Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses - SG&A expense increased $13.9 million, or 44.4%, to $45.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 26.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 26.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The slight increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to equity-based compensation awards granted as a result of new executives hired across the business combined with awards granted as part of the Triage acquisition offset by efficiencies across Cloudmed’s corporate functions combined with lower marketing and travel costs associated with COVID-19. Equity based compensation included in SG&A was $2.7 million and $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

   

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization increased $14.0 million, or 79.2%, to $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization was 18.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 14.8% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by a $5.5 million impairment charge associated with certain trade names as a result of rebranding the company in late 2020.

 

   

Transaction Expenses - Transaction expenses increased $13.8 million to $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the Praxis and Triage acquisitions, which both closed in 2020.

 

   

Net (Gain) Loss Related to Earn-out Liabilities - Net (gain) loss related to earn-out liabilities decreased by $33.7 million, or 128.0%, resulting in a net gain of $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to a net loss of $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In 2019, revenue for earn-outs exceeded initial expectations assumed at the time of the purchase price resulting in a loss of $26.4 million on earn-out liabilities. In 2020, the minimum threshold associated with the Washington & West and other earn-outs did not achieve the minimum requirements for payment and a gain of $7.4 million was recorded.

 

   

Other - Other increased $1.0 million to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in other is primarily due to disposal of property, plant and equipment associated with lease terminations.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense

Non-operating (income) expense increased $12.3 million, or 84.4%, to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in non-operating (income) expense primarily reflected higher interest expense resulting from an increase in debt incurred to fund acquisitions closed in 2020. The weighted average debt outstanding in 2020 was $345.2 million compared to $189.1 million in 2019. See Note 8 to Cloudmed’s audited consolidated financial statements for additional information with respect to Cloudmed’s debt instruments.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was an increase of $6.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the tax effect of

the basis difference in certain entities classified as corporations in Cloudmed’s legal entity structure. The change was offset by the establishment of a full valuation allowance on Cloudmed’s deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity describes Cloudmed’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of Cloudmed’s business operations, including working capital needs to meet operating expenses, debt service, acquisitions, and other commitments and contractual obligations. Cloudmed considers liquidity in terms of cash flows from operations and their sufficiency to fund Cloudmed’s operating and investing activities. Cloudmed’s primary sources of liquidity are Cloudmed’s existing cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under the 2020 Credit Facility described in “—Indebtedness” below. As of December 31, 2021, Cloudmed had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million and $75.0 million available under Cloudmed’s revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, Cloudmed’s had $874.6 million of gross debt outstanding.

Cloudmed’s principal liquidity needs have been, and Cloudmed expect them to continue to be, working capital and general corporate needs, debt service, and capital expenditures. Expected cash required to meet obligations related to retention payouts associated with acquisitions is $68.3 million through 2024. Cloudmed’s capital expenditures to support growth in the business were $11.2 million, $9.5 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Cloudmed believe that Cloudmed’s cash flow from operations, availability under the 2020 Credit Facility and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet Cloudmed’s liquidity needs over the next 12 months. Cloudmed cannot assure you that Cloudmed will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, Cloudmed’s liquidity and Cloudmed’s ability to meet Cloudmed’s obligations and fund Cloudmed’s capital requirements are also dependent on Cloudmed’s future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, and other factors that are beyond Cloudmed’s control. Accordingly, Cloudmed cannot assure you that Cloudmed’s business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet Cloudmed’s liquidity needs.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2019 Cloudmed had $228.9 million of debt outstanding under Cloudmed’s prior credit facility with Ares Capital Corporation, which was initially entered into in December 2017 (as amended, the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility provided for an aggregate of $231.5 million in term loan commitments and $20.0 million in revolving credit commitments. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, Cloudmed had $14.1 million of debt outstanding under a demand note under a Loan Authorization Agreement with Bank of Montreal (the “BOM Loan”) entered into in June 2019.

The 2020 Credit Facility originally allowed for borrowings up to $715.0 million consisting of $640.0 million in initial term loans and $75.0 million in revolving credit commitments. The obligations under Cloudmed’s 2020 Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cloudmed’s existing and future material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of Cloudmed’s and Cloudmed’s subsidiary guarantor’s assets, other than certain excluded assets. Borrowings under Cloudmed’s 2020 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (with a floor of 0.5%) plus 4.25% per annum. Cloudmed’s 2020 Credit Facility matures on October 15, 2027. Further, interest on any outstanding borrowings under Cloudmed’s 2020 Credit Facility is calculated based on LIBOR.

Concurrent with the closing of the 2020 Credit Facility, Cloudmed borrowed $640.0 million in term loans. The proceeds from the term loans were used to repay in full all of Cloudmed’s outstanding indebtedness, including the 2017 Credit Facility, and pay certain fees, premiums, expenses, and other transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Triage. As of December 31, 2020, Cloudmed had $603.4 million of net debt outstanding under the 2020 Credit Facility.

 

142


Table of Contents

On December 15, 2021, Cloudmed amended Cloudmed’s 2020 Credit Facility to allow for an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of $240.0 million. The Incremental Term Loan is subject to the same terms applicable to the 2020 Credit Facility. These funds were utilized to fund the acquisition of Par8o and to repay the $27.0 million then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The 2020 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a “springing” financial covenant for the benefit of the revolving credit lenders under the 2020 Credit Facility requiring Cloudmed to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio of 7.75:1.00 if on the relevant test date the aggregate outstanding amount of revolving credit loans and letters of credit (excluding the issued and undrawn letters of credit and cash collateralized letters of credit) exceed 35% of the aggregate amount of the revolving credit commitments under the initial 2020 Credit Facility. This ratio is calculated as the consolidated first lien debt as of the last day of the test period, minus an amount equal to the unrestricted cash amount as of such date, to the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2020 Credit Facility) for such test period. As of December 31, 2021, Cloudmed was in compliance with these covenants.

See Note 8 to Cloudmed’s audited consolidated financial statements for additional information with respect to its debt instruments. After the closing of the Transactions, all of Cloudmed’s outstanding debt obligations are expected to be refinanced under R1 and Cloudmed is not expected to have any indebtedness.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, Cloudmed did not have during the periods presented, and Cloudmed does not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by SEC rules.

This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by cash generated from results of operations adjusted for non-cash items providing $22.3 million offset by $20.7 million in cash outflows resulting from the timing of changes in certain assets and liabilities and a $2.3 million decrease in cash payments related to earn-outs that were in excess of the fair value recorded at the time of acquisition.

Net loss was $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $4.7 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1.0 million cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $3.1 million. This increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by cash generated from results of

Table of Contents

operations adjusted for non-cash items resulting in cash outflows of $1.6 million and an $11.7 million cash payment related to an earn-out that was in excess of the fair value recorded at the time of acquisition. These cash outflows were offset by a $10.7 cash inflow resulting from the timing of changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Net loss was $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $4.3 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $246.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $245.2 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $491.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily the result of $233.1 million related to acquisitions closed in 2021 compared to $481.5 million related to acquisitions closed in 2020. Capital expenditures for internal-use software were $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The $1.7 million increase in capital expenditures for internal-use software was primarily driven by additional investments in Cloudmed’s technology platform to support future growth.

Net cash used in investing activities was $491.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $405.1 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $86.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of $481.5 million related to acquisitions closed in 2020 compared to $78.9 million related to acquisitions closed in 2019. Capital expenditures for internal-use software were $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $2.8 million increase in capital expenditures for internal-use software was primarily driven by additional investments in Cloudmed’s technology platform to support future growth.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $210.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $336.0 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $546.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The source of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by net proceeds of $227.9 million related to activity associated with the 2020 Credit Facility. These cash inflows were offset by $12.7 million of earn-out payments from historical acquisitions.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $546.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $456.3 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $90.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The source of cash for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by net proceeds of $345.5 million related to activity associated with the 2020 Credit Facility and $253.0 million from member contributions. These cash inflows were offset by $34.2 million of earn-out payments from historical acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cloudmed uses the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the financial performance of Cloudmed’s business and Cloudmed believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure to investors to assess Cloudmed’s operating performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of Cloudmed’s operating results. In addition, Cloudmed believes that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful to investors in measuring the profitability of Cloudmed’s operations on a consolidated level.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing Cloudmed’s operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance

 

144


Table of Contents

with GAAP, or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than Cloudmed does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Cloudmed defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment, (gain) loss on acquisition earn-out, integration and strategic initiatives, severance, retention, recruiting, equity-based compensation, and other expenses. Cloudmed defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $72.0 million, or 117.8%, to $133.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $61.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased to 40.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 36.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is due to the flow through from the increase in revenue driven by new and expanded customer implementations, acquisitions closed in 2020, and efficiencies across Cloudmed’s cost of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $31.8 million, or 108.4%, to $61.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased to 36.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is due to the increase in revenue combined with efficiencies across Cloudmed’s cost of operations and SG&A expenses.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

In the ordinary course of Cloudmed’s business activities, Cloudmed is exposed to market risks that are beyond its control and which may have an adverse effect on the value of its financial assets and liabilities, future cash flows and earnings. The market risks that Cloudmed is exposed to primarily relate to changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt obligations and cash and cash equivalents.

At December 31, 2021, Cloudmed had total variable rate debt outstanding under its 2020 Credit Facility of $874.6 million. If the effective interest rate of its variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021 were to increase by 100 basis points (1%), its annual interest expense would increase by approximately $8.7 million, assuming no change in the volume or composition of its outstanding indebtedness and no hedging activity. See Note 8 to its consolidated financial statement for additional information with respect to its debt instruments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Cloudmed’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Cloudmed to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, Cloudmed evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Cloudmed’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

146


Table of Contents

Cloudmed’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and the effect of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance. The accounting policies Cloudmed believes to reflect its more significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions and are most critical to understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are revenue recognition and contract assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity-based compensation and fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

Cloudmed recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration Cloudmed expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Cloudmed applies the following five-step model to determine this amount: (1) identify the contract, (2) identify the performance obligation, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price and (5) recognize revenue.

The unit of measure for revenue recognition is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct or series of distinct goods or services to a customer. The transaction price is identified as the estimate of total consideration in the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

The accounting estimates and assumptions related to the recognition of revenue require Cloudmed to make significant judgments related to the determination of the transaction price of the contract.

The transaction price of a contract should reflect the ultimate amount of consideration that Cloudmed expects to receive from the customer. The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Transaction prices can be fixed or variable based on established terms within a contract. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

A substantial majority of Cloudmed’s revenue is derived from performance fees and requires Cloudmed to estimate the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. Cloudmed also applies a constraint to these estimates as the performance fee is derived from a specified percentage of the amount recovered by the customer based on the underpaid or unidentified revenue discovered through its clinical and coding review services. The determination of the estimated consideration involves significant judgment when determining the most appropriate method for calculating the variable amount of consideration, application of this method and application of the constraint to the variable consideration.

When determining the appropriate method for estimating variable consideration, an entity should choose whichever method will better predict the amount of consideration to which it will become entitled. A majority of Cloudmed’s contracts have similar characteristics and the outcomes of each are independent of the others, therefore Cloudmed has chosen to apply the expected value method which considers a probability-weighted value for a range of possible outcomes. In applying the expected value method, Cloudmed has chosen to use a portfolio of historical data, to best estimate the consideration to which it will be entitled. Cloudmed then applies a constraint to adjust for the historical correlation between the actual and preliminary calculated expected cash flows. This constraint is applied to prevent reversals of revenue in future periods and is calculated using historical data.

To the extent that consideration cannot be reasonably estimated prior to, or during, the performance of services, revenue is constrained until such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Although Cloudmed’s estimates are based on the information available to Cloudmed at each reporting date, several factors may cause actual

 

147


Table of Contents

revenue earned to differ from the estimates recorded each period. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the constraint due to a change in the correlation of actual and expected cash flows.

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with Cloudmed’s acquisitions are recorded at their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired company over the fair value of its identifiable assets, including identified intangible assets. Cloudmed recognizes identifiable intangibles, such as customer relationships, developed internal-use software, trade names, and intellectual property when a specific right or contract is acquired. Cloudmed’s determination of the fair value of the intangible assets and whether or not these assets may be impaired following their acquisition requires it to apply significant judgments and make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows. If Cloudmed changes its strategy or if market conditions shift, its judgments and estimates may change, which may result in adjustments to recorded asset balances. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives whereas goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are assessed for impairment, at least annually.

Cloudmed assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter, and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Application of the impairment test for goodwill requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Based on Cloudmed’s assessment it has determined that none of the components of its single operating segment constitute a business, therefore its reporting unit is the same as its operating segment.

Cloudmed assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The qualitative approach assesses several factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value. If Cloudmed concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, the quantitative approach is applied. Alternatively, Cloudmed may choose to bypass the qualitative approach and perform quantitative testing to determine if impairment exists.

In applying the quantitative approach, Cloudmed must make estimates and assumptions such as, but not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, long-term growth rates of its business, discount rates, and weighted average cost of capital to determine fair value. These estimates and assumptions require management’s judgment and changes to these estimates and assumptions, as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions, could affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation represents the cost related to equity-based awards granted to employees, consultants, and advisors of Cloudmed. Cloudmed currently has the following five classes of equity: Class A-l units, Class A-2 units, Class A-3 units, and Class A-4 units, which represent members’ interests, and Class P units, which are intended to constitute profits interests for federal income tax purposes. Cloudmed recognizes equity-based compensation for all awards based on the grant date estimated fair value and recognize forfeitures as they occur.

Cloudmed has also granted restricted units, representing the conditional right to receive Class A-l units. These restricted units are subject to time-based vesting conditions, and vest in equal annual installments over a five year period. The compensation expense related to awards that are subject to time-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The majority of Class P-unit awards vest based on both time-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. In general, 50% of each Class P unit award is subject to time-based vesting conditions

 

148


Table of Contents

and vest in equal annual installments over a five year period, and the remaining 50% of such award vests upon achievement of both time-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting conditions are based on the realization by the private equity owners of certain return multiples as set forth in the award agreement. As the performance-based vesting condition for the Class P unit awards are based on return multiples achieved in connection with or prior to a change in control and the performance conditions have not been probable, Cloudmed has only recorded expense for the Class P unit awards associated with time-based vesting conditions. The compensation expense related to these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The remaining Class P units that are subject to both time- and performance-based vesting conditions will only be expensed if the performance criteria is achieved.

Some Class P unit awards have different time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, including but not limited to, awards that provide for 100% of the Class P units to be subject to time-based vesting conditions over a five-year period.

The grant date estimated fair value of Cloudmed’s awards is calculated using a Monte Carlo equity allocation simulation. Cloudmed’s total equity value represents a key input for determining the fair value of the underlying awards. The total equity value is derived by taking the enterprise value of Cloudmed’s awards adjusted for items such as debt and certain acquisition-related retention payments. A discount for lack of marketability is applied to the fair value as there is currently no active market for Cloudmed’s awards.

In order to estimate the fair value of the enterprise Cloudmed utilizes both a market and income approach. Cloudmed used a combination of these valuation techniques as it believes a market approach on its own provides a less reliable evaluation of the fair value as this approach relies solely on marketable trends and data of publicly listed companies in similar markets with similar characteristics. Alternatively, the income approach incorporates management’s best estimates of future performance based on both company and industry-specific factors and incorporates management’s long-term growth strategy.

For the market approach, Cloudmed applied the guideline public company analysis. The guideline public company analysis involves the use of trading multiples derived from publicly traded companies that it believes are most comparable to Cloudmed. Cloudmed selected multiples generally give consideration to size, growth, and profitability. These multiples are then applied to its historical and projected financial information based on assumptions at the time of the valuation in order to estimate its enterprise value. The resulting fair values of the awards are then discounted for lack of marketability as there is currently not an active market for Cloudmed’s awards.

The income approach involves the use of the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method utilizes projected cash flows discounted back to present value, at an appropriate discount rate, in order to estimate Cloudmed’s enterprise value. In applying the discounted cash flow method, Cloudmed must make estimates and assumptions such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, long-term growth rates of its business and discount rates.

These estimates and assumptions used in both the market and income approach are highly subjective as of the date of valuation and changes to these estimates and assumptions, as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions, could affect the determination of the fair value of Cloudmed’s awards.

The Monte Carlo equity allocation simulation requires inputs to estimate the grant date fair value of an award, including assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free rate and expected time to exit the company. As Cloudmed is currently not a publicly listed company, it calculates the expected volatility using comparable publicly listed peer companies over a term similar to the expected term of exit. At the time of grant, it did not have any intentions of paying a dividend, therefore the dividend yield is zero. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate whose term is consistent with the expected time to exit.

Business Combinations

Cloudmed accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available and requires significant judgement from management. For the valuation of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, Cloudmed typically use the income approach. Significant estimates used in the valuation of certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and useful lives. Cloudmed’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but it recognizes that these assumptions are inherently uncertain and that the use of alternative valuation assumptions could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration is initially measured and recorded at its estimated fair value as an element of consideration paid in connection with an acquisition, with subsequent adjustments recorded to earnings. The value of the earn-out liabilities is based on the expected future payment to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses according to the provisions outlined in the purchase agreements. In determining fair value, Cloudmed considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, earnings forecasts and market risk assumptions. The expected future payment is estimated using the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreement and adjusted based on the probability of achieving these targets using the Monte-Carlo approach. The estimated payment is then discounted to the valuation date using the Company’s estimated pre-tax cost of debt. Although there is significant judgment involved, Cloudmed believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable.

The excess of the purchase price over fair value of tangible and identifiable assets acquired are allocated to goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from acquisition date, Cloudmed may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

R1 is a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers. R1’s mission is to make healthcare simpler, and R1 delivers on that mission by meeting its commitments to its many stakeholders through technology and services that are designed to improve patients’ access to and experience with the healthcare ecosystem. R1’s mission aligns with its environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) approach which includes how it: innovates to improve the patient and provider experience through automation and digitization delivered by R1’s experienced team; makes the right decisions, for the right reasons, every day in every part of its business with integrity and ethics as its guide; and fosters an inclusive, diverse workforce and culture where all employees feel valued and have the opportunity to cultivate and grow their careers.

R1’s ESG focus areas that are material to its business include:

 

   

Access to Healthcare

 

   

Cybersecurity & Data Privacy

 

   

System Risk from Technical Disruption

 

   

Regulatory Assessment & Compliance

 

   

Professional Integrity & Culture

R1’s approach to ESG is carried out by continuously working the R1 Way – operating with purpose, transforming the experience, and unleashing talent. These essential, shared, and everyday behaviors are part of R1’s commitment to empower every employee to succeed, anchoring what R1 does as an organization. R1 asks its employees to live its values every day by working the R1 Way and, in doing so, supporting R1’s ESG commitments and company-wide mission to make healthcare simpler.

In 2019, R1 launched its formal ESG efforts by establishing an ESG framework and steering workgroup, comprised of internal resources and external advisors, to assess and address ESG factors that are material to its business. Since that time, R1 has instituted a dedicated Board ESG liaison partnering with the company’s ESG steering workgroup, standing ESG reporting in the committee setting as set forth in R1’s Board charters, and continuous, direct shareholder engagement. R1 believes that achieving and sustaining business excellence is intrinsically tied to leading by example through corporate responsibility that reflects the company’s commitment to stakeholder engagement and transparency.

R1’s steering workgroup continually evaluates potential ESG risks and opportunities to best understand its shareholders’ views and leading ESG frameworks, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board, and the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures. In addition, R1 solicits shareholder feedback and values the input received through its continuous outreach program. Further, in March, R1 published its second annual ESG report to share R1’s approach to ESG as well as its key ESG-related initiatives and programs.

STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

The R1 Board and management value and consider R1’s stockholders’ perspectives. To help ensure R1 understands and focuses on the priorities that matter most to its stockholders, R1’s directors and senior management proactively conduct extensive investor outreach throughout the year. In addition to discussing business results and initiatives, strategy and capital structure, R1 engages with investors on various other matters integral to its business and to R1 as a company, such as governance practices, risk management, and ESG.

Specific Ways R1 Engaged with Stockholders in 2021

In 2021, R1 presented at ten industry conferences and held seven road shows, in addition to ongoing meetings with analysts who cover R1 and inbound requests from investors. Presentation materials from R1’s attendance at investor conferences are available to its stockholders generally through its filings with the SEC or on the “Investors” section of R1’s website at www.r1rcm.com. R1’s Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. The information provided on the Internet website of R1 is not part of this proxy statement/prospectus and, therefore, is not incorporated herein by reference. R1’s board of directors and management carefully consider and evaluate feedback received during these meetings.

Further, R1 re-engaged with the majority of its stockholders in anticipation of publishing its second ESG report in March, as discussed herein. Through discussions with these stockholders, R1 received positive feedback on last year’s inaugural report and helpful input with respect to various aspects of R1’s efforts, including the commitment to provide and expand metrics and reporting on R1’s ESG practices as reflected in the 2021 report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The R1 Board believes that good corporate governance is important to ensure that R1 is managed for the long-term benefit of its stockholders. This section describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that R1 has adopted. Complete copies of the corporate governance guidelines, committee charters and Code of Integrity described below are available in the “Corporate Governance” section of the “Investor Relations” page of R1’s website, www.r1rcm.com. Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents by writing to R1 RCM Inc., 434 W Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah 84123, Attention: Investor Relations, email: investorrelations@r1rcm.com.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The R1 Board has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist the R1 Board in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and to serve the best interests of R1 and its stockholders. A copy of these guidelines is posted on the “Investor Relations” section of R1’s website. These guidelines, which provide a framework for the conduct of the R1 Board’s business, provide that:

 

   

the R1 Board’s principal responsibility is to oversee the management of R1;

 

   

directors have an obligation to become and remain informed about R1 and its business;

 

   

directors are responsible for determining that effective systems are in place for periodic and timely reporting to the R1 Board on important matters concerning R1;

 

   

directors are responsible for attending board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve;

 

   

a majority of the members of the R1 Board shall be independent directors;

 

   

each director must limit the number of other public company boards on which he or she serves so that he or she is able to devote adequate time to his or her duties to R1, including preparing for and attending meetings;

 

   

the non-management directors meet in executive session at least semi-annually;

 

   

directors have full and free access to officers and employees of R1, and the right to hire and consult with independent advisors at R1’s expense;

 

   

new directors are expected to participate in an orientation program and all directors are expected to participate in continuing director education on an ongoing basis; and

 

   

at least annually, the R1 Board and its committees will conduct self-evaluations to determine whether they are functioning effectively.

Board Leadership Structure

The R1 Board does not have a formal policy on whether the offices of the chair of the R1 Board and chief executive officer should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the chair of the R1 Board should be selected from among the independent directors or should be an employee of R1. In addition, R1’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that in the event that the chair of the R1 Board is not an independent director, the nominating and corporate governance committee will designate an independent director to serve as “Lead Director,” to be appointed by a majority of the independent directors.

From January 1, 2021 until January 8, 2022, the office of the chair of the R1 Board was not filled. During that period, Alex Mandl served as Lead Director, a capacity in which he served since his appointment to the R1 Board on March 25, 2018. On January 9, 2022, the R1 Board appointed Anthony J. Speranzo as chair of the R1 Board. Mr. Mandl continued to serve as Lead Director until February 7, 2022. Effective as of February 7, 2022, the R1 Board appointed John B. Henneman III to serve as Lead Director.

 

163


Table of Contents

The Lead Director, if one is appointed, has the following functions:

 

   

Chair any meeting of the non-management or independent directors in executive session;

 

   

Meet with any director who is not adequately performing his or her duties as a member of the R1 Board or any committee;

 

   

Facilitate communications between other members of the R1 Board and the chair of the R1 Board and/or the chief executive officer; however, each director is free to communicate directly with the chair of the R1 Board and with the chief executive officer;

 

   

Work with the chair of the R1 Board in the preparation of the agenda for each board meeting and in determining the need for special meetings of the board; and

 

   

Otherwise consult with the chair of the R1 Board and/or the chief executive officer on matters relating to corporate governance and board performance.

Unless the R1 Board determines otherwise, an individual will serve as Lead Director for no more than three consecutive years. Given Mr. Mandl’s performance as Lead Director throughout his term, and the value provided to the R1 Board from his experience leading large organizations and as a director of publicly-held corporations, in May 2021, the R1 Board approved the renewal of Mr. Mandl’s term as Lead Director for one additional year. The R1 Board appointed Mr. Henneman as successor to Mr. Mandl effective as of February 7, 2022, based on, among other attributes, Mr. Henneman’s contributions to the R1 Board during his tenure and his deep expertise in public company corporate governance.

Board Determination of Independence

R1’s common stock is traded on Nasdaq. Pursuant to Nasdaq listing standards, a director currently or recently employed by R1 or not satisfying other bright-line independence standards under Nasdaq requirements cannot be deemed to be an “independent director.” In addition, in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards, a director will qualify as “independent” only if the R1 Board affirmatively determines that he or she has no material relationship with R1, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with R1. Ownership of a significant amount of R1 stock, by itself, does not constitute a material relationship.

The R1 Board currently consists of Agnes Bundy Scanlan, David M. Dill, Michael C. Feiner, Joseph Flanagan, John B. Henneman III, Neal Moszkowski, Ian Sacks, Jill Smith, Anthony J. Speranzo, Anthony R. Tersigni and Albert R. Zimmerli. The R1 Board has affirmatively determined that each of Mss. Bundy Scanlan and Smith and Messrs. Feiner, Henneman, Moszkowski, and Sacks is “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules. In determining that Messrs. Moszkowski and Sacks are independent, the R1 Board considered (i) all of the relationships described under “Related Party Transactions—Strategic Transaction” and (ii) payments that R1 made to HealthEquity, Inc., where Mr. Sacks serves as a director, for administrative fees. The payments that we made to HealthEquity, Inc. in each of the last three fiscal years did not exceed the greater of (i) $200,000 or (ii) 5% of HealthEquity, Inc.’s consolidated gross revenues for the year in which such payments were received.

Board and Committee Evaluations

The R1 Board recognizes that a thorough, constructive evaluation process enhances the Board’s effectiveness and is an essential element of good corporate governance. Each year, the nominating and corporate governance committee reviews and determines the design, scope, content, and leads the execution of the evaluation. The evaluation process consists of assessments of the R1 Board and each standing committee of the Board. Written questionnaires solicit feedback on a range of issues, including Board and committee structure and composition; meeting process and dynamics; execution of key responsibilities; interaction with management; interaction with advisors and other parties, such as auditors; and information and resources.

 

164


Table of Contents

Following completion of the written questionnaires, aggregated results are provided by the nominating and corporate governance committee to the R1 Board members for discussion. Director suggestions for improvements based on evaluation results, as well as to evaluation questionnaires and process, are considered for incorporation for the following year.

Director Nomination Process

The process followed by the nominating and corporate governance committee to identify and evaluate director candidates includes the use of search firms, requests to members of the R1 Board and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the R1 Board.

In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion on the R1 Board or directors’ slate of recommended director nominees, the nominating and corporate governance committee applies the criteria set forth in R1’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. These criteria include the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of R1’s business and industry, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. In addition to these criteria, the nominating and corporate governance committee also considers diversity in its evaluation of candidates for board membership. The R1 Board believes that diversity along multiple dimensions, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and professional expertise and experience, should be an important factor in board composition. The committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. R1 believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the R1 Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

Additionally, the TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement with TCP-ASC and the Securities Purchase Agreement with Intermountain provide, among other things, each of TCP-ASC and Intermountain with certain rights regarding the nomination of directors while it maintains certain ownership thresholds. See “Related Party Transactions-Strategic Transaction-TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement” and “Related Party Transactions-Intermountain Transactions-Securities Purchase Agreement.”

Following the closing of the Transactions, pursuant to the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement, Sellers’ will be entitled to nominate three directors to the New R1 Board for so long as the Seller’s “Ownership Threshold” (as that term is defined in the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement) is met. For so long as the Ownership Threshold is met, (i) one Seller Designee shall be unaffiliated with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. and (ii) two Seller Designees shall qualify as “independent” directors as defined in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market and applicable law. For so long as the Ownership Threshold is not met but the Sellers’ “Ownership Percentage” (as that term is defined in the Sellers’ Investor Rights Agreement) exceeds 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Sellers will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) two directors, and for so long as the Sellers’ Ownership Percentage is in the aggregate at least 5% but less than 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Sellers will be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the New R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) one director. Additionally, subject to applicable law and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (or other United States national securities exchange that New R1 Common Stock is listed upon, if any), New R1 will offer one Seller Designee (to be selected by the Sellers) an opportunity to, at the Sellers’ option, either sit on each regular committee of the New R1 Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the nominating and corporate governance committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical

information and background materials, to: Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o R1 RCM Inc., 434 W. Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah 84123, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others. If the R1 Board determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in R1’s proxy card for the next annual meeting.

Recent Board Refreshment

The nominating and corporate governance committee annually reviews with the R1 Board the requisite skills and criteria for new board members to identify opportunities for enhancing the board’s overall skill profile. As a result of the foregoing process, the R1 Board added a new independent director in 2021, Ms. Agnes Bundy Scanlan, Esq. Ms. Bundy Scanlan brings to the board extensive regulatory risk and compliance management and legal experience, as well as a diverse point of view, which contribute to the skills and qualifications of the R1 Board.

The nominating and corporate governance committee also considers succession planning in light of anticipated retirements, and for R1 Board and committee chair roles, to maintain relevant expertise and depth of experience.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The R1 Board met eight times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the non-management directors met in an executive session of the R1 Board four times during the same period, in each case either in person or by teleconference. During 2021, each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of board meetings and the number of meetings held by all committees on which he or she then served.

Board Diversity Matrix

As previously described, the R1 Board believes that diversity along multiple dimensions, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and professional expertise and experience, is an important factor in board composition. The below sets forth the self-identified diversity characteristics of the R1 Board as of the R1 Record Date. Each of the categories listed in the table below has the meaning as it is used in Nasdaq Rule 5605(f).

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders

R1’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that directors are encouraged to attend meetings of stockholders at which non-routine matters will be considered. Seven of the eleven directors attended R1’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Risk Management

R1’s compliance & risk management committee holds primary responsibility for overseeing R1’s risk management function, in partnership and coordination with R1’s audit committee. The R1 Board established a compliance & risk management committee in 2016 to assist the R1 Board in overseeing R1’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and ethical standards, the operation of R1’s compliance and ethics program and risk management program (collectively, R1’s “Compliance and Risk Programs”), and R1’s interactions and relationships with regulatory and enforcement agencies in the United States and other countries. Further, the audit committee has primary responsibility for overseeing financial and public company risks and management thereof. In addition, the entire R1 Board is actively involved in overseeing R1’s management of enterprise risks. For example, the R1 Board engages in periodic discussions with such R1 officers as the R1 Board deems necessary, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other executive officers. R1 believes that the leadership structure of the R1 Board supports effective risk management oversight.

Board Committees

The R1 Board has established an audit committee, a human capital committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compliance & risk management committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by the R1 Board. Copies of each committee’s charter are posted on the “Investor Relations” section of R1’s website, www.r1rcm.com. R1’s Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. The information provided on the Internet website of R1 is not part of this proxy statement/prospectus and, therefore, is not incorporated herein by reference

Audit Committee

The R1 Board has established a standing audit committee. R1’s audit committee assists the R1 Board in its oversight of R1’s accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of R1’s financial statements. Since January 1, 2020, Ms. Smith and Mr. Henneman have served as members of R1’s audit committee. Mr. Mandl served as chair of the audit committee from January 1, 2020 until he passed away on March 25, 2022. The R1 Board has determined that each of the members of its audit committee is independent as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq and satisfies the requirements for financial literacy under the current requirements of Nasdaq rules and regulations. The R1 Board has further determined that Mr. Henneman is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The R1 Board has appointed Mr. Henneman as chair of the audit committee effective immediately following the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, subject to Mr. Henneman’s reelection to the R1 Board. In addition, in accordance with the exemption provided under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, the R1 Board intends to appoint another independent director to serve as a member of the audit committee by September 21, 2022.

R1’s audit committee assists the R1 Board in its oversight of R1’s accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of R1’s financial statements. The audit committee met ten times during 2021.

R1’s audit committee’s responsibilities include:

Human Capital Committee

Since January 1, 2020, Ms. Smith and Messrs. Feiner and Sacks (chair) have served as the members of R1’s human capital committee. The R1 Board has determined that each of the members of R1’s human capital committee is independent as defined under Nasdaq rules. The human capital committee met six times during 2021.

R1’s human capital committee assists the R1 Board in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of R1’s executive officers and directors, the performance evaluation of senior executives and the review of R1’s talent development processes and culture related items. Certain actions of the human capital committee, such as granting equity compensation awards and performance awards, may be taken by a sub-committee of the human capital committee. In May 2018, the human capital committee formed a sub-committee (the “Section 16 Sub-Committee”) to assist the human capital committee in ensuring that equity awards under R1’s equity incentive plans are exempt from the short swing trading rules under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Since February 24, 2020, Ms. Smith and Mr. Feiner have comprised the Section 16 Sub-Committee.

The human capital committee’s responsibilities include:

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Since January 1, 2020, Messrs. Feiner, Moszkowski (chair) and Sacks have served as the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee.

Table of Contents

R1’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communication with the audit committee concerning independence. The audit committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from R1.

Based on these discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee recommended to the R1 Board that the audited financial statements be included in R1’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

R1 pays each non-employee director, other than Messrs. Moszkowski, Sacks and Zimmerli, a $60,000 annual retainer. R1’s lead director and the chair of the audit committee receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000, and the chairs of the human capital committee, the compliance & risk management committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000. There are no additional fees for attending board or board committee meetings. Cash fees are paid quarterly in arrears to the non-employee directors who were serving as directors at the end of a quarter. Messrs. Moszkowski, Sacks and Zimmerli have declined to receive director fees.

In lieu of cash fees, non-employee directors may elect to receive options to purchase shares of R1 common stock and/or RSUs, at the election of such director, in each case subject to vesting upon the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, based on continued service as a director. Elections must be received by R1 by the 75th day of a quarter and apply to all subsequent quarterly cash fees until a new election is received. Such options or RSUs are granted on the first trading day of each quarter with respect to the fees payable for the preceding quarter, and the exercise price of any such stock options equals the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The number of shares subject to such options or RSUs is calculated by dividing the dollar amount of the cash fees for the quarter by the Black-Scholes option or RSU value, as applicable, R1 used for purposes of determining the share-based compensation expense that R1 recognized for financial statement reporting purposes in that quarter.

Unless a different arrangement is specifically agreed to, each non-employee director (other than Messrs. Moszkowski, Sacks and Zimmerli) will receive an annual grant of stock options and/or RSUs (at the election of such director) on the first trading day following R1’s annual meeting of stockholders. Such options and/or RSUs will have a total Black-Scholes option or RSU value, as applicable, of $130,000, and the exercise price of any such stock options will equal the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Each such option or RSU will vest upon the anniversary of the date of grant, based on continued service as a director. Messrs. Moszkowski, Sacks and Zimmerli have declined their annual option and RSU awards.

On August 19, 2020, the R1 Board approved the formation of a special committee of the board (the “Special Committee”) to consider a potential equity recapitalization transaction with respect to the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of R1. The Special Committee was comprised of Ms. Smith and Messrs. Mandl (chair) and Feiner. In recognition of the responsibilities assumed by the members of the Special Committee and the commitment of time that would be required to discharge such responsibilities properly, on September 24, 2020, the R1 Board approved (i) a one-time cash retainer of $50,000 for members of the Special Committee, other than the chair, and (ii) a one-time cash retainer of $60,000 for the chair of the Special Committee, in each case 50% of which was paid on October 1, 2020 and the remaining 50% of was paid on April 1, 2021.

R1 reimburses each non-employee director for ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in attending board and board committee meetings.

Significant Management Changes in 2021

On January 15, 2021, as part of a broader alignment of senior leadership roles in order to support effective management of the Company following years of significant growth, two new executive positions were created: John Sparby was appointed to serve as our Executive Vice President, Operations & Delivery and Chief Operating Officer, and Vijay Kotte was appointed to serve as our Executive Vice President, Strategy & Corporate Development and Chief Solutions Officer.

Executive Summary

2021 Business Highlights

In 2021, we achieved notable progress against our strategic initiatives, and delivered significant improvements on our key performance metrics.

Key accomplishments:

 

LOGO   We generated revenue of $1,475 million, net income of $97 million and adjusted EBITDA* of $344 million.
LOGO   We added over $1.5 billion in net patient revenue under management on an end-to-end basis. At year-end, we announced significant additional contracting activity.
LOGO   We acquired VisitPay, a leading consumer payments platform, which we combined with R1’s leading patient access technology to enable providers to deliver a seamless financial journey for their patients.
LOGO   We simplified our capital structure by converting preferred shares to common shares, improved our balance sheet and liquidity by refinancing our debt and increasing the availability under our revolving credit facility, and applied a balanced approach to capital allocation by repurchasing shares and repaying debt.
LOGO   We launched our Entri platform, which provides patients with intuitive digital self-service capabilities to empower them to search, book, register and pay for care all in one experience, on any device. Entri integrates the many revenue cycle touchpoints and disparate support systems found in ambulatory, acute and post-acute networks, allowing providers to manage patient access costs and intelligently match supply and demand.
LOGO   We made significant progress with our digitization effort. We advanced our automation capabilities by automating approximately 40 million additional manual tasks compared to 2020, bringing our automation capabilities to 70 million tasks annually.

*

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as GAAP net income before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, expense arising from debt extinguishment, strategic initiatives costs, customer employee transition and restructuring expense, and certain other items. For more information about how R1 calculates adjusted EBITDA, and for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, please see “Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference.

2021 Executive Compensation Highlights

The following key compensation actions were taken with respect to our Named Executive Officers for 2021:

 

   

Base Salaries - Effective January 1, 2021, Mr. Flanagan’s base salary was increased from $895,000 to $1,000,000, Mr. Long’s base salary was increased from $460,000 to $500,000, and Mr. Sparby’s base salary was increased from $460,000 to $500,000. Effective April 1, 2021, Ms. Wilson’s base salary was increased from $465,000 to $500,000. As part of our restructuring of the executive leadership team in early 2021, the base salaries for our Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Flanagan, were aligned at the same level to reflect the equal impact and criticality of these roles on driving the Company’s long-term success. Target annual and target long-term incentive opportunities were also aligned to similar levels.

 

   

Annual Incentives – Cash incentives were paid to Mr. Flanagan, Ms. Wilson, Mr. Long, Mr. Sparby and Mr. Kotte, as determined by the Human Capital Committee.

 

   

Discretionary Short-Term Equity Awards – On April 1, 2021, we granted our Named Executive Officers discretionary RSU awards to recognize their contributions to the Company’s continued success in the face of the challenges in 2020. We granted Mr. Flanagan 51,235 RSUs, Ms. Wilson 16,382 RSUs, Mr. Long 12,154 RSUs, Mr. Sparby 13,167 RSUs, and Mr. Kotte 17,615 RSUs.

 

   

Long-Term Incentive Compensation - In May 2021, we granted Mr. Flanagan 183,285 performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs); Ms. Wilson 36,657 PBRSUs; Mr. Long 36,657 PBRSUs; Mr. Sparby 36,657 PBRSUs; and Mr. Kotte 36,657 PBRSUs representing 100% of each individual’s target award, subject to two performance-based vesting conditions. The performance measures for PBRSUs granted in 2021 remained the same as the performance measures used for the 2020 grants (a combination of cumulative adjusted EBITDA and end-to-end RCM agreements). Pursuant to the New Flanagan Agreement (defined below), Mr. Flanagan also received a one-time grant of 273,701 PBRSUs. The PBRSUs are subject to the achievement of performance targets established by the human capital committee and an award agreement entered into with the Company, in each case, consistent with the PBRSUs granted to executive officers of the Company in 2020.

 

   

Special One-Time Relocation Support - In 2021, we provided Mr. Flanagan and Ms. Wilson with relocation support in connection with moving our corporate headquarters from Chicago, IL to Salt Lake City, UT. This relocation support consisted primarily of short-term housing support, shipment and storage of household goods, transportation for family, and associated tax gross-up of relocation expenses intended to keep executives economically whole for the relocation.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. During 2021, the following executive compensation policies and practices were in place, including both policies and practices we have implemented to drive performance and policies and practices that either prohibit or minimize behaviors that we do not believe serve our stockholders’ long-term interests:

What We Do

Human Capital Committee Independence - Our human capital committee is comprised solely of independent directors.

Human Capital Committee Advisor Independence - The human capital committee engages and retains its own independent advisors. During 2021, the human capital committee engaged SullivanCotter to assist with its responsibilities. SullivanCotter was not separately engaged by the Company to perform consulting or other services for the Company during 2021.

Annual Compensation Review - The human capital committee conducts an annual review of our executive compensation philosophy and strategy, including a review of the compensation peer group used for comparative purposes.

Compensation-Related Risk Assessment - We design our compensation programs, policies and practices to ensure that they reflect an appropriate level of risk-taking but do not encourage our employees to take excessive or unnecessary risks that could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Emphasize Performance-based Incentive Compensation - The human capital committee designs our executive compensation program to use performance-based short-term and long-term incentive compensation awards to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.

Emphasize Long-Term Equity Compensation - The human capital committee uses equity awards to deliver long-term incentive compensation opportunities to our Named Executive Officers. These equity awards vest over multi-year periods, and the PBRSUs have a performance period of several years, which better serves our long-term value creation goals and retention objectives.

Limited Executive Perquisites - We provide only modest amounts of perquisites or other personal benefits to our Named Executive Officers which serve a sound business purpose.

Prohibition on Derivative Securities Transactions, Hedging and Pledging - Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all our employees, including our executive officers, and the members of our board of directors from engaging in derivative securities transactions with respect to our common stock and from hedging the risk of their ownership of our common stock through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Our Insider Trading Policy generally restricts our employees and directors from pledging our securities as collateral or holding our securities in a margin account.

Maintain Stock Ownership Guidelines – In February 2020, the human capital committee approved the Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy to align the financial interests of R1 executives with those of its shareholders. The Chief Executive Officer must own shares worth 6x annual base salary (4x for the Chief Financial Officer, 3x for all other Named Executive Officers).

What We Do Not Do

 

  X

Retirement Programs - Other than our Section 401(k) plan generally available to all employees, we do not offer defined benefit or contribution retirement plans or arrangements or nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements for our Named Executive Officers.

 

178


Table of Contents
  X

No Tax Gross-Ups or Payments - We do not provide any “gross-ups” or tax payments to our Named Executive Officers in connection with any compensation element other than for housing and relocation expenses, and we do not provide any excise tax “gross-up” or tax reimbursement in connection with any change in control payments or benefits.

 

  X

No Stock Option Repricing - We do not reprice options to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval.

 

  X

No Timing of Equity Grants - We do not structure the timing of equity awards to precede or coincide with the disclosure of material non-public information.

Stockholder Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation

Every six years, we are required to conduct a non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future “Say-on-Pay” votes (commonly known as a “Say-on-Frequency” vote). At our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we conducted a non-binding stockholder vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation of our Named Executive Officers (commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote). Our stockholders cast the highest number of votes for voting on a triennial basis, compared to voting every one or two years. In light of this result and other factors considered by our board of directors, we decided to conduct Say-on-Pay votes on a triennial basis.

Our stockholders approved the non-binding advisory proposal on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers with a 99% favorable vote at our annual meeting of stockholders held in 2021, our most recent annual meeting at which such a vote was taken. As the human capital committee has reviewed our executive compensation policies and practices since our last Say-on-Pay vote, it has been mindful of the strong support our stockholders have expressed for our approach to executive compensation. As a result, following its most recent review of our executive compensation philosophy, the human capital committee decided to retain our general approach to executive compensation. We will conduct our next Say-on-Pay vote at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation program is guided by our overarching philosophy of attracting and retaining highly talented executive officers by providing competitive pay and benefits and rewarding our executive officers for performance that aligns with our financial, operational and strategic goals, including ESG-related goals, to achieve our ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The structure of our executive compensation program enables us to provide a competitive total compensation package that links a significant portion of each executive officer’s overall compensation to key corporate financial goals and other significant accomplishments. We use both short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and the successful execution of our long-term strategic plan.

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

 

   

Attract, retain and motivate highly talented individuals who have the breadth and depth of diverse experience to successfully execute our business strategy in alignment with our values;

 

   

Align the interests of our executive officers, stockholders and other stakeholders;

 

   

Pay for performance by rewarding the achievement of our annual and long-term operating and strategic goals; and

 

   

Recognize individual contributions.

Governance of Executive Compensation Program

Role of the Human Capital Committee

The human capital committee oversees our executive compensation program and discharges the responsibilities of our board of directors relating to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. In this role, the human capital committee reviews, determines and approves the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Certain actions of our human capital committee, such as the granting of equity awards, may be taken by a sub-committee of the human capital committee. The human capital committee maintains the Section 16 Sub-Committee to assist the human capital committee in ensuring that equity awards made under the Company’s equity incentive plans are exempt from the short swing trading rules under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The human capital committee has the authority, without approval of our board of directors, to engage, oversee and terminate compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors to assist in the evaluation of the compensation of our executive officers.

Pursuant to its charter, the human capital committee is responsible for reviewing the total compensation, including base salary levels, annual cash bonus opportunities and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, of our Named Executive Officers. When selecting and setting the amount of each compensation element, the human capital committee considers the following factors:

 

   

our executive compensation program objectives;

 

   

our performance against the financial and operational objectives established by the human capital committee and/or our board of directors;

 

   

each individual Named Executive Officer’s skills, experience, knowledge and qualifications relative to other similarly situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group;

 

   

the scope of each Named Executive Officer’s role compared to other similarly situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group;

 

   

the performance of each individual Named Executive Officer, based on a subjective assessment of his or her contributions to our overall performance, ability to lead his or her business unit or function and work as part of a team, all of which reflect our core values;

 

   

compensation parity among our Named Executive Officers;

 

   

our financial and stock price performance relative to the companies in our compensation peer group; and

 

   

the compensation practices of our compensation peer group.

These factors provide the framework for compensation decision-making and final decisions regarding the compensation opportunity for each Named Executive Officer. No single factor is determinative in setting pay levels, nor was the impact of any factor on the determination of pay levels quantifiable.

Role of Executive Officers

In discharging its responsibilities, the human capital committee works with members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to review information on corporate and individual performance, market data and management’s perspective on compensation matters. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of each of our other Named Executive Officers and, based on these reviews, provides recommendations to the human capital committee with respect to base salary adjustments, annual cash bonus opportunities and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards.

The human capital committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer annually to review and discuss his recommendations regarding executive compensation for our other Named Executive Officers. Typically, the

 

180


Table of Contents

human capital committee meets in executive sessions to discuss these recommendations, uses them as one factor in determining and approving the compensation for our other Named Executive Officers and then informs our board of directors of such decisions. In setting the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, the human capital committee evaluates his performance, as well as our overall corporate performance and considers the other factors described above. Our Chief Executive Officer recuses himself from all discussions and recommendations regarding his own compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The human capital committee engages an independent compensation consultant from time to time to provide support, including competitive market data and analysis regarding our executive compensation program and the decisions resulting from its annual executive compensation review. In 2021, the committee retained SullivanCotter to serve as its independent compensation advisor. SullivanCotter served at the discretion of our human capital committee.

During 2021, SullivanCotter attended, in person or via telephone, meetings of the human capital committee (both with and without management present) and provided the following services:

 

   

consulted with the human capital committee chair and other members between committee meetings;

 

   

provided competitive market data based in part on the compensation peer group for our executive officer positions and evaluated how the compensation we pay our executive officers compares both to our performance and to how the companies in our compensation peer group compensate their executives;

 

   

assessed executive compensation trends within our industry and updates on corporate governance and regulatory issues and developments;

 

   

reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis; and

 

   

made recommendations regarding short and long-term incentive plans and outstanding equity awards.

With respect to the periods in 2021 for which SullivanCotter provided services to the human capital committee, SullivanCotter did not raise any conflicts of interest to the human capital committee and the human capital committee determined that no conflicts of interest existed that would affect SullivanCotter’s independence or would prevent it from independently representing our human capital committee.

How We Determine Executive Compensation Levels

In evaluating our executive compensation program and making its decisions in 2021, the human capital committee considered the competitive market for executive talent using two sources: data derived from an analysis of the compensation levels and practices of a group of comparable companies and data drawn from nationally recognized executive compensation surveys reporting compensation levels of executives at similarly sized organizations.

The compensation peer group is a select group of companies that the human capital committee believes are representative of the talent market in which we compete. In 2021, the human capital committee considered compensation data from this peer group as one factor in determining our executive compensation levels to ensure we continue to provide target total direct compensation opportunities that are competitively positioned in the marketplace. The human capital committee worked with its compensation advisor in 2020 to review and update the peer group used to guide Named Executive Officer pay decisions for 2021. Changes to the peer group were intended to more closely reflect the Company’s business structure and scope of operations in 2021.

The companies in the compensation peer group were selected in 2020 based on the following criteria:

 

   

Similar revenues and complexity of business model;

In the technology, business process outsourcing or healthcare services industries; and

 

   

Publicly traded in the United States.

In August 2020, the human capital committee reviewed and approved the following peer group. The peer group below informed compensation decisions for 2021. No changes were made to the peer group for 2022 compensation decisions, other than the removal of HMS Holdings.

 

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions    ManTech International
CBIZ    Maximus
ExlService Holdings    Premier
FTI Consulting    Huron Consulting Group
Genpact Limited    Evolent Health
HMS Holdings*    WEX
ICF International

HMS Holdings was acquired in 2021.

While the human capital committee considers competitive market data when making its decisions, it is only one factor evaluated when determining the target total direct compensation opportunities of our Named Executive Officers. The human capital committee also considers the other factors listed in “Governance of Executive Compensation Program - Role of the Human Capital Committee” above.

The human capital committee intends to review our compensation peer group periodically as needed and make adjustments to its composition, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in our compensation peer group.

Risk Considerations

Our executive compensation program consists of a mix of compensation elements, which we design to ensure that they reflect an appropriate level of risk-taking but do not encourage our Named Executive Officers to take excessive or unnecessary risks. We believe that the risks arising from our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the human capital committee believes that the mix and design of the elements of our executive compensation program do not encourage our management to assume excessive risks.

Executive Compensation Program Design

In 2021, the primary elements of our executive compensation program consisted of base salary, an annual cash incentive opportunity and long-term incentive compensation in the form of PBRSUs. The following table describes how each of these elements is intended to satisfy our executive compensation objectives.

Base Salary

Base salary represents the fixed portion of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. We use base salaries to attract and retain highly qualified individuals to help us manage our business and achieve our annual and long-term performance objectives. Generally, we establish the initial base salaries of our Named Executive Officers through arm’s-length negotiation at the time we hire or promote an individual, considering his or her position, qualifications, experience and the base salaries of our other executive officers. Thereafter, the human capital committee reviews the base salaries of our executive officers from time to time and makes adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate.

In 2021, Named Executive Officer base salary increases were based on individual performance and responsibilities. Overall, these salary amounts align with the tenure and performance of the executives and are validated through the market competitiveness study. Effective January 1, 2021, Mr. Flanagan’s base salary was increased from $895,000 to $1,000,000, Mr. Long’s base salary was increased from $460,000 to $500,000, and Mr. Sparby’s base salary was increased from $460,000 to $500,000 Effective April 1, 2021, Ms. Wilson’s base salary was increased from $465,000 to $500,000.

The table below shows the annual salaries for our Named Executive Officers.

Annual Cash Incentives

Each year, the human capital committee approves an annual cash incentive bonus plan for our Named Executive Officers. We use annual cash incentive bonuses to compensate our Named Executive Officers for achieving corporate performance objectives, as well as for their individual performance.

For 2021, the human capital committee approved an annual cash bonus plan (the “2021 Bonus Plan”) which contained the following terms and conditions:

 

   

At the beginning of the year, our human capital committee selects the objective corporate financial and operational measure(s) and sets the target levels for such measure(s) for the year based on our annual operating plan. The objective performance measure and related target level was selected by our human capital committee based on our historical operating results and growth rates, as well as our expected future results and are designed to require significant effort and operational success on the part of the Company and our Named Executive Officers. During the course of the year, our human capital committee may adjust such measure and target level as it deems appropriate.

 

   

If our performance expectations for our objective corporate performance were exceeded, the bonus pool may fund at, and actual bonus payments may be awarded at, above-target amounts. If this expectation was not met, actual bonus payments may be below target amounts, or no bonuses at all may be awarded. Prior years’ performance and corresponding bonus payment amounts were taken into consideration when setting target bonus levels. We believe this helps to calibrate our annual incentive compensation levels with our actual performance.

 

   

The human capital committee approves actual annual cash bonus payments, which are based, in part, on the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own annual cash bonus payment). There were no minimum or maximum payment levels, and the human capital committee reserved broad discretion to make adjustments to award payments.

Target Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities

Target annual cash incentive opportunities for each Named Executive Officer are established in the individual’s offer letter at the time of hire. These target incentive opportunities are periodically reviewed by the human capital committee. In 2021, the human capital committee reviewed the target annual cash bonus opportunities of our Named Executive Officers, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by its compensation consultant, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own target annual cash bonus opportunity) and the other factors described above.

The target annual cash bonus opportunities of our Named Executive Officers for 2021 were as follows:

 

Named Executive Officer

   2021 Target Annual Cash
Bonus Opportunity (as a
percentage of base salary)
    2021 Target Annual Cash
Bonus Opportunity ($)
 

Mr. Flanagan

     100   $ 1,000,000  

Ms. Wilson (1)

     100   $ 500,000  

Mr. Long (2)

Mr. Sparby (3)

     100   $ 500,000  

Mr. Kotte

     100   $ 500,000  

 

(1)

For the 2021 performance year, Ms. Wilson’s discretionary target bonus opportunity was increased from 80% to 100% of her base salary.

 

(2)

Mr. Long also has commission-based commercial incentive objectives that can earn an additional 50% of base salary.

(3)

Mr. Sparby’s target bonus opportunity was increased from 50% to 100% for the 2021 performance year.

2021 Performance Measures

In 2021, the human capital committee selected the following objective and subjective measures for purposes of the 2021 Bonus Plan:

 

Objective Performance Measure

  

Subjective Performance Measure

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) before incentive compensation - Target set against Company’s 2021 operating plan

 

New end-to-end RCM agreements representing $4 billion of annual net patient revenue under management required to earn above target

 

Technology objective related to external launch of Entri and automation solution required to earn above target

   Individual performance

For purposes of the 2021 Bonus Plan, adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest income/expense, income tax provision/benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, expense arising from debt extinguishment, strategic initiatives costs, customer employee transition and restructuring expense, and certain other items. For more information about how the Company calculates adjusted EBITDA, and for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, please see “Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference.

The human capital committee selected adjusted EBITDA as the objective performance measure in connection with its 2021 operating plan for purposes of determining the amount of funding for the company-wide annual cash incentive bonus pool. The human capital committee selected this performance measure because it believed that it is an appropriate driver for our business as it provides a balance between generating revenue, growing our business and managing our expenses, which enhance stockholder value. In the event that the Company’s performance exceeded the target amount by $5 million or more, the pool would share in 50% of every dollar by which actual performance exceeded the adjusted EBITDA target plus $5 million, provided that both the Company’s goals for new end-to-end RCM agreements representing $4 billion of net patient revenue under management in the aggregate and for technology related to the external launch of the Company’s Entri and automation solution were achieved. The new end-to-end RCM agreement objective was initially added in 2019 in order to provide additional focus on revenue growth from new clients, and the human capital committee continued to use this measure in 2020 and 2021. In 2021, in order to help foster the Company’s greater tech orientation, the human capital committee added a technology objective related to the external launch of the Company’s Entri and automation solution. After the amount of the Company-wide bonus pool was determined, the human capital committee then subjectively evaluated our Named Executive Officer’s individual performances.

2021 Annual Cash Incentive Payments

In July 2021, the 2021 annual bonus plan was approved with an adjusted EBITDA target of $335 million. All Named Executive Officers and all US annual bonus eligible participants are included in this plan, at that time the plan was established with $34.5 million of target funding. Target performance details are listed in the table below:

Technology objective       External launch of Entri and automation solution    Objective was met

For 2021, we achieved $343.6 million in adjusted EBITDA. However, one of the criteria required to exceed 100% funding was not met. Accordingly, the human capital committee approved the incentive pool funding at $34.5 million and a Company performance factor of 100%.

Mr. Long also has commission-based commercial incentive objectives that can earn an additional 50% of base salary

In arriving at each Named Executive Officer’s Individual Performance Factor (“IPF”), the human capital committee performed a subjective review of such Named Executive Officer’s individual performance based on such person’s contribution toward the Company’s 2021 goals set forth below:

 

2021 Company Goals

1.    Establish strong digital footprint through continued investment in automation and patient experience capabilities
2.    Strengthen talent pipeline to support growth (analysis supported by quarterly functional talent review by level, including open roles, promotions, and terminations inclusive of gender and ethnicity data, led by the Chief Executive Officer for all of his direct reports)
3.    Deliver first wave of operations transformation by centralizing patient access operations
4.    Structure and develop our commercial offerings
5.    Generate $330 million in adjusted EBITDA and sign $4 billion in new net patient revenue under management

The resulting IPFs were then applied to determine each Named Executive Officer’s final bonus amount, which was equal to the product of (i) the amount of such person’s annual incentive target opportunity, multiplied by (ii) the Company performance factor (i.e.,    %), multiplied by (iii) such person’s respective IPF results.

Mr. Long also received $147,505 in the aggregate in commission-based new business incentive bonuses for new sales made by the Company in 2021.

Discretionary Short-Term RSU Awards

In February 2021, our human capital committee determined a pool of discretionary equity awards would be created for Named Executive Officers and other leaders to recognize their contributions to the Company’s continued success in the face of the challenges resulting from the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The human capital committee considered the same performance outcomes as described above regarding financial performance, organic growth and inorganic growth. The pool of these awards were in the form of time-vesting RSUs provided for vesting six months from the date of grant, subject to full vesting at the completion of the 6-months in the event of a good leaver termination (as defined in the award agreement), death or disability. Individual award amounts were made based on contribution to overall results and individual performance.

The table below provides the number of such short-term RSU awards granted to each of our Named Executive Officers.

 

Named Executive Officer

   Grant Date    # of RSUs  

Mr. Flanagan

   4/1/2021      51,235  

Ms. Wilson

   4/1/2021      16,382  

Mr. Long

   4/1/2021      12,154  

Mr. Sparby

   4/1/2021      13,167  

Mr. Kotte

   4/1/2021      17,615  

In determining the number of such short-term RSU awards:

 

   

For Mr. Flanagan, the human capital committee considered his strong leadership in driving financial results, shareholder returns, and commercial growth, as well as in the areas of inclusion & diversity and talent development. The human capital committee also considered strategic M&A activity in 2020, including two acquisitions and one divestiture.

 

   

For Mr. Long, the human capital committee considered the achievement of strong commercial results, despite the challenges of the pandemic. In 2020, two new end-to-end customers were signed representing $5B of net patient revenue under management.

 

   

For Ms. Wilson, the human capital committee considered her contribution to strong financial results in the second half of the year. The human capital committee also considered Ms. Wilson’s contribution to the Company’s ESG efforts as well as investor relations.

 

   

For Mr. Sparby, the human capital committee considered his contribution to strong KPI results, and the implementation of our patient experience platform, as well as the successful onboarding of new customers.

 

   

For Mr. Kotte, the human capital committee considered his contribution to the acquisition of Cerner Revworks, as well as the divesture of the EMS business in 2020.

Other Bonuses

Pursuant to the terms of her offer letter agreement, we paid Ms. Wilson a sign-on bonus of $250,000, of which $75,000 was paid to her on June 30, 2020 and the remaining $175,000 was paid to her on January 31, 2021.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We believe long-term incentive compensation is an effective means for focusing our Named Executive Officers on driving increased stockholder value over a multi-year period, provides a meaningful reward for appreciation in our stock price and long-term value creation and motivates them to remain employed with us. In 2021, we granted only PBRSUs to our Named Executive Officers. We believe this approach aligns the contributions of our Named Executive Officers with the long-term interests of our stockholders and allows them to participate in any future appreciation in the value of our common stock. We believe that PBRSU awards pursuant to which shares of our common stock may be earned based on our actual performance should provide an appropriate long-term incentive for our Named Executive Officers, since they are rewarded only to the extent that they achieve performance results intended to enhance our stock price growth.

As with their other elements of compensation, the human capital committee determines the amount of long-term incentive compensation for our Named Executive Officers as part of its annual compensation review and after taking into consideration a competitive market analysis, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own long-term incentive compensation), the outstanding equity holdings of each Named Executive Officer, the projected impact of the proposed awards on our earnings, the proportion of our total shares outstanding used for annual employee long-term incentive compensation awards (our “burn rate”) in relation to the companies in our compensation peer group, the potential voting power dilution to our stockholders (our “overhang”) in relation to the companies in our compensation peer group and the other factors described above.

The Named Executive Officers participate in a long-term incentive compensation program (the “LTI program”) with the goal of focusing leaders on our long-term business performance that we believe will generate the creation of sustainable long-term value for our stockholders. The LTI program reflects the current design and structure of annual equity awards to our employees, including our executive officers, and provides a framework within which we make annual equity awards. For our Named Executive Officers, the LTI program in 2021 utilizes PBRSUs.

Target annual long-term incentive opportunities for each of our Named Executive Officers under the LTI program for 2021 are presented in the table below.

   200%   100%

Mr. Kotte

   200%   100%

On March 23, 2021, the target amount of Mr. Flanagan’s annual equity grants for 2021 was increased from 300% to 500% of base salary.

(2)

On January 16, 2021, the target amount of Mr. Long’s and Mr. Sparby’s annual equity grants for 2021 was increased from 100% to 200% of base salary.

Each of the terms of our LTI program, including, without limitation, eligible participants, award levels, the composition of awards and the vesting terms for awards, for 2022 and subsequent years are subject to revision by our human capital committee in their sole discretion. In addition, our human capital committee reserves the right to discontinue the LTI program, in whole or in part, replace the LTI program and/or supplement it with additional equity or cash awards.

(1)

On March 23, 2021, Mr. Flanagan received a special one-time PBRSU award of 273,701, representing 100% of the target long-term incentive award, pursuant to his new employment agreement. The special one-time PBRSU award is subject to the same performance measures and vesting conditions as the 2020 PBRSU grant.

Pursuant to the award agreement, these PBRSUs will be subject to both a time-based vesting condition and a performance-based vesting condition. The time-based vesting condition may be satisfied on the earlier of December 31, 2023 or a qualifying change of control. Performance vesting of the above PBRSUs is based on cumulative adjusted EBITDA and the entry into new end-to-end RCM agreements. The performance period for these PBRSUs is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The human capital committee selected cumulative adjusted EBITDA in 2021 as the performance measure because it believed that it is an appropriate driver for our business as it provides a balance between generating revenue, growing our business and managing our expenses, which enhance stockholder value. The end-to-end RCM agreement growth measure was selected in 2021 in order to provide additional focus on revenue growth from new clients. These same performance measures were applied to 2020 PBRSUs granted to Named Executive Officers.

In 2018, the PBRSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers were based on the achievement of an average price per share of our common stock over a specified period of time prior to the applicable performance measurement date. The performance period for the PBRSUs granted in 2018 ended on December 22, 2020, with the PBRSUs granted in 2018 having a time-based vesting condition that was (i) 75% satisfied on December 22, 2020 and (ii) 25% satisfied on December 31, 2021. The performance-based vesting condition for the PBRSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2018 all vested at the maximum performance threshold specified in the applicable award agreement.

In 2019 and 2020, the PBRSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers were based on the achievement of cumulative adjusted EBITDA and the entry into new end-to-end RCM agreements. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the human capital committee considered different approaches to address unplanned COVID-19 impact and agreed that an adjustment framework should be applied to 2020 adjusted EBITDA (no adjustment of targets and no adjustment to 2020 end-to-end growth results). These considerations resulted in a total adjustment of $31 million to 2020 adjusted EBITDA for both the 2019 PBRSUs and 2020 PBRSUs. Furthermore, 2020 adjusted EBITDA for the 2019 PBRSUs was adjusted by $6 million and the 2020 PBRSUs were adjusted by $4 million to reflect new business additions. The resulting 2020 cumulative adjusted EBITDA was $277 million for the 2019 PBRSUs and $267 million for the 2020 PBRSUs.

In 2021, adjusted EBITDA was further adjusted by $18 million for the 2019 PBRSUs and by $8 million for each of the 2020 and 2021 PBRSUs to reflect new business additions. The resulting 2021 cumulative adjusted EBITDA was $361.6 million for the 2019 PBRSUs and $351.6 million for each of the 2020 PBRSUs and the 2021 PBRSUs. The performance period and time period for the PBRSUs granted in 2019 ended on December 31,

2021. The performance-based vesting condition for the PBRSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2019 all vested at the maximum performance threshold specified in the applicable award agreement.

Welfare and Health Benefits

Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit programs on the same basis as our other full-time, salaried employees. We sponsor a Section 401(k) retirement plan, which is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Code. All of our U.S. employees, including our executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Section 401(k) plan.

In addition, our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit programs on the same basis as all of our employees. These benefits include a medical care plan, flexible spending accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance and standard Company holidays.

We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market, as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and the competitive market.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Consistent with our compensation philosophy, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we do not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our Named Executive Officers except in situations where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executive officers more efficient and effective and for recruitment and retention purposes. No material perquisites or other personal benefits were provided to Named Executive Officers in 2021.

In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits in limited circumstances, such as those described in the preceding paragraph. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by the human capital committee.

Employment Offer Letters

We have entered into written employment offer letters with each of our Named Executive Officers. In filling each of our executive positions, our board of directors or the human capital committee, as applicable, recognized that it would need to develop competitive compensation packages to attract qualified candidates in a dynamic labor market. At the same time, our board of directors and the human capital committee were sensitive to the need to integrate new executive officers into the executive compensation structure that we were seeking to develop, balancing both competitive and internal equity considerations.

Each of these employment offer letters provides for “at will” employment and sets forth the initial compensation arrangements for the executive officer, including an initial base salary, an annual cash bonus opportunity and an initial equity award recommendation.

For information on the specific terms and conditions of the employment offer letters of our Named Executive Officers, see the discussion of “Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers” following the executive compensation tables below.

Post-Employment Compensation

The employment offer letters, EVP letter agreement and/or equity award agreements with our Named Executive Officers also contain provisions for their compensation in the event of certain terminations of

We believe that having in place reasonable and competitive post-employment compensation arrangements is essential to attracting and retaining highly qualified executive officers. Our post-employment compensation arrangements are designed to provide reasonable compensation to executive officers who leave us under certain circumstances to facilitate their transition to new employment. Further, we seek to mitigate any potential employer liability and avoid future disputes or litigation by requiring a departing executive officer to sign a separation and release agreement acceptable to us as a condition to receiving post-employment compensation payments or benefits.

We believe that these arrangements are designed to align the interests of management and stockholders when considering our long-term future. The primary purpose of these arrangements is to keep our Named Executive Officers focused on pursuing all corporate transaction activity that is in the best interests of stockholders regardless of whether those transactions may result in their own job loss. Reasonable post-acquisition payments and benefits should serve the interests of both the Named Executive Officer and our stockholders.

Mr. Long’s post-employment compensation arrangement (other than PBRSUs) are subject to “double-trigger” change in control provisions. That is, all payments and benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company are payable only if there is a subsequent loss of employment without cause by an executive officer within 12 months of the change of control (a so-called “double-trigger” arrangement).

For 2019, 2020, and 2021 PBRSUs, upon a change in control, the target achievement levels of adjusted EBITDA and end-to-end RCM agreement growth will be based on annual progression toward the three-year goal, with target achievement levels prorated for the time elapsed during the year in which the change in control occurs.

We do not use excise tax payments (or “gross-ups”) relating to a change in control of the Company and have no such obligations in place with respect to any of our Named Executive Officers.

For information on the post-employment compensation arrangements with our Named Executive Officers, as well as an estimate of the potential payments and benefits payable under these arrangements as of the end of 2021, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

New Flanagan Employment Agreement

On March 23, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated offer letter agreement (the “New Flanagan Agreement”) with Mr. Flanagan, which amended, restated, and superseded Mr. Flanagan’s previous offer letter agreement with the Company. Mr. Flanagan will continue to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors and will report directly to our board of directors. The New Flanagan Agreement provides for at-will employment for an indefinite term, an annualized base salary of $1,000,000 (retroactive to January 1, 2021), an annual discretionary target bonus opportunity of 100% of base salary, and eligibility to participate in the employee benefit programs generally available to other senior executives of the Company. Mr. Flanagan will also be reimbursed for all reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of the New Flanagan Agreement.

Pursuant to the New Flanagan Agreement, Mr. Flanagan received a one-time grant of 273,701 PBRSUs. The PBRSUs are subject to the achievement of performance targets established by the human capital committee and an award agreement entered into with the Company, in each case, consistent with the PBRSUs granted to executive officers of the Company in 2020. For additional information regarding PBRSUs, see “2021 PBRSU Awards” above and “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2021 below.

In the event that Mr. Flanagan’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Flanagan for Good Reason (each as defined in the New Flanagan Agreement), Mr. Flanagan will

be entitled to any earned but unpaid salary, earned but unpaid annual bonus for the prior fiscal year, and accrued and vested benefits under the employee benefit programs of the Company. In addition, subject to Mr. Flanagan’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Flanagan will also be entitled to the following: (i) two times the sum of Mr. Flanagan’s base salary and target annual bonus, payable in substantially equal monthly installments for a period of 24 months following Mr. Flanagan’s termination date; provided that if Mr. Flanagan’s termination occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the New Flanagan Agreement), severance will be paid in a lump sum within 60 days following Mr. Flanagan’s termination date, (ii) an annual bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, with the amount of such bonus being based on the greater of (A) target performance and (B) actual performance, pro-rated based on the number of days Mr. Flanagan was employed by the Company in the year of termination and payable at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, and (iii) subsidized continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plans for a period of up to 18 months following Mr. Flanagan’s termination date. In the event Mr. Flanagan is not eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health plan as of the date that is 18 months after Mr. Flanagan’s termination date, he will also receive a lump sum cash payment equal to six times the monthly premium paid by Mr. Flanagan immediately prior to such date.

Mr. Flanagan will continue to be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that prohibit him from engaging in certain restricted activities (including competition and solicitation of employees and customers of the Company) during his employment and for 12 months (in the case of the non-competition covenant) or 18 months (in the case of the non-solicitation covenant) following the termination of his service with the Company. Mr. Flanagan also remains subject to confidentiality restrictions and inventions assignment obligations applicable during and after the period of his service with the Company that protect the Company’s proprietary information.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices

Policy Prohibiting Derivative Securities Transactions, Hedging and Pledging of Our Equity Securities

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all our employees, including our executive officers, and the members of our board of directors from engaging in derivative securities transactions with respect to our common stock and from hedging the risk of their ownership of our common stock through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Our Insider Trading Policy generally restricts our employees and directors from pledging our securities as collateral or holding our securities in a margin account.

Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy

In order to further align the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders, in February 2020, the human capital committee adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers. Our executive officers must own shares of our common stock in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Leadership Position

  

Value of Shares

Chief Executive Officer    6x annual base salary
Chief Financial Officer    4x annual base salary
All other Executive Officers    3x annual base salary
Executive Vice Presidents with annual long-term incentive target of 100% or higher (excluding Executive Officers)    2x annual base salary

Executive officers may satisfy their ownership requirements with shares of common stock owned directly, shares of common stock owned indirectly (e.g. by a spouse or a trust) or unvested time-based RSUs. Vested and

 

193


Table of Contents

unvested stock options and unvested PBRSUs are not counted toward the ownership requirements. Executive officers have five years from the later of (i) the adoption date of the policy and (ii) their appointment to a position that qualifies them as an executive officer to satisfy the ownership requirements. Once an executive officer has met his or her ownership requirements, in the event of a subsequent decline in the average closing price of a share of our common stock such that the requirements are no longer met, the executive officer is deemed to continue to meet the ownership requirements so long as he or she continues to own the same number of shares and/or vested stock options that he or she owned at the time the requirements were met.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Limitations on Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) that was signed into law December 22, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) generally disallowed a tax deduction to public corporations for non-performance-based compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any fiscal year to certain named executive officers. Under the Tax Reform, effective starting with the 2018 tax year, Section 162(m) generally limits to $1 million the U.S. federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid in one year to a company’s CEO or CFO, or any of its three next-highest paid executive officers, without regard to whether or not the compensation was performance-based. Grandfathered performance-based compensation is not subject to this limit on deductibility as long as such compensation meets certain requirements. No assurance can be given that any future compensation will qualify for this transition relief.

In approving the amount and form of compensation for our Named Executive Officers, the human capital committee considers all elements of our cost of providing such compensation. While the human capital committee will continue to consider the tax deductibility of compensation as one of many factors, the human capital committee retains the discretion to approve compensation for our Named Executive Officers that may result in non-deductible compensation expense when it believes that such compensation is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We follow the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC 718 requires us to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and members of our board of directors, including options to purchase shares of our common stock and other stock awards, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the executive compensation tables required by the federal securities laws, even though the recipient of the awards may never realize any value from their awards.

These options were granted on October 3, 2016 and vested in equal installments on April 1, 2017, April 1, 2018, April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020.

(2)

Although these options were granted on October 3, 2016, they were subject to stockholder approval and thus were not granted for accounting purposes until December 8, 2016. They will vest in equal installments on April 1, 2018, April 1, 2019, April 1, 2020 and April 1, 2021.

(3)

These stock options were granted pursuant to the Company’s stock option exchange program. The awards were granted on June 12, 2017 and vested in equal installments on June 12, 2018 and June 12, 2019.

PBRSU award granted on May 1, 2019 (including PBRSU award for Mr. Kotte, whose award was granted on October 18, 2019 upon beginning his employment with the Company) (“2019 PBRSU”). Pursuant to the award agreement, the PBRSUs were subject to both a time-based vesting condition and performance-based vesting conditions. The time-based vesting condition was satisfied on December 31, 2021. The performance-based vesting conditions were satisfied at a performance metric of 200% upon approval of the cumulative adjusted EBITDA and total new end-to-end RCM agreements by the Human Capital Committee on February 17, 2022. The target number of shares subject to the award was 253,064 for Mr. Flanagan, 248,263 for Mr. Kotte, 43,356 for Mr. Long, and 43,356 for Mr. Sparby. Amount represents the number of shares that were earned based on achieving the maximum level of performance, because our performance through December 31, 2021 indicated performance exceeding the maximum levels for these awards.

(5)

PBRSU award granted on July 31, 2020 (including PBRSU award for Mr. Flanagan which was granted on March 23, 2021 under the same terms as the aforementioned awards) (“2020 PBRSU”). Pursuant to the award agreement, the PBRSUs will be subject to both a time-based vesting condition and performance-based vesting conditions. The time-based vesting condition may be satisfied on the earlier of December 31, 2022 and a qualifying change of control (the “July 2020 Performance Measurement Date”). The performance-based vesting conditions will be satisfied based on our cumulative adjusted EBITDA and the entry into new end-to-end RCM agreements through the July 2020 Performance Measurement Date. The target number of shares subject to the award is 273,701 for Mr. Flanagan, 75,259 for Ms. Wilson, 101,937 for Mr. Kotte, 46,891 for Mr. Long, and 46,891 for Mr. Sparby. Amount represents the number of shares that would be earned based on achieving the maximum level of performance, because our performance through December 31, 2021 indicated performance between the target and maximum levels for these awards. The number of shares earned will be based upon the

  achievement of a performance-based vesting condition and will range from 0% to 200% of the target award. The amounts for Mr. Flanagan, Mr. Long, and Mr. Sparby also include a one-time retention award (“2020 Retention PBRSU”) of 273,701, 46,891, and 46,891 target shares, respectively. The 2020 Retention PBRSU is subject to the same performance measures and vesting conditions as the 2020 LTI PBRSU.

PBRSU award granted on May 1, 2021 (“2021 PBRSU”). Pursuant to the award agreement, the PBRSUs will be subject to both a time-based vesting condition and performance-based vesting conditions. The time-based vesting condition may be satisfied on the earlier of December 31, 2023 and a qualifying change of control (the “May 2021 Performance Measurement Date”). The performance-based vesting conditions will be satisfied based on our cumulative adjusted EBITDA and the entry into new end-to-end RCM agreements through the May 2021 Performance Measurement Date. The target number of shares subject to the award is 183,285 for Mr. Flanagan, and 36,657 for Ms. Wilson, Mr. Kotte, Mr. Long, and Mr. Sparby. Amount represents the number of shares that would be earned based on achieving the maximum level of performance, because our performance through December 31, 2021 indicated performance at the target level for these awards. The number of shares earned will be based upon the achievement of a performance-based vesting condition and will range from 0% to 200% of the target award.

(7)

These options were granted on June 30, 2017 and will vest in equal installments on June 30, 2018, June 30, 2019, June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2021, based on continued employment.

(8)

Market value assumes vesting of 200% of the target award and the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ on December 31, 2021. The number of shares earned will be based upon the achievement of a performance-based condition and will range from 0% to 200% of the target award.

For the 2019 PBRSU, 2020 PBRSU, and 2021 PBRSU awards, the performance measurement date is the effective date of the change of control transaction. Target achievement levels are pro-rated for the time elapsed during the year in which the performance measurement date occurs (“COC Year”). For cumulative adjusted EBITDA, target achievement levels for the COC Year are prorated for the number of full fiscal quarters elapsed in the COC Year. The pro-rated target achievement levels for the COC Year are then multiplied by the budget weighing, which is the percentage equal to the aggregate EBITDA for the full fiscal quarters elapsed in the COC Year divided by aggregate EBITDA for the full COC Year, as reflected in the Company’s then-current operating budget for the COC Year. For End-to-End RCM Agreement Growth, target achievement levels are pro-rated on a straight-line basis according to the number of full months elapsed during the year in which the performance measurement date occurs prior to the change in control transaction. The market price utilized reflects the value based on the $25.49 closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021. The amounts assume 200% vesting of the 2019 PBRSUs, 192% vesting of the 2020 PBRSUs, and 100% vesting of the 2021 PBRSUs, based on performance through December 31, 2021.

Agreement with Mr. Sparby

Mr. Sparby does not have an offer letter governing the terms of his employment with us. However, we and Mr. Sparby are party to a Letter Agreement in the form entered into with our other executive vice presidents, as described below. See “Letter Agreement with Executive Vice Presidents.”

Agreement with Mr. Kotte

We and Mr. Kotte entered into an offer letter agreement, dated September 27, 2019, in connection with Mr. Kotte’s appointment as Executive Vice President, Physician Services. Mr. Kotte’s offer letter provides for an annual base salary of $500,000, an annual discretionary target bonus opportunity of 80% of base salary, and eligibility to participate in the employee benefit programs generally available to senior executives of the Company.

Pursuant to the offer letter agreement, Mr. Kotte received an initial PBRSU award of an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock equaling $2,500,000 based on the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. The PBRSUs are subject to targets and vesting to be set by the human capital committee of the Company’s board of directors. Additionally, beginning in 2020, Mr. Kotte was entitled to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive program, for which the target amounts of annual equity grants were 200% of his base salary.

In the event that Mr. Kotte’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the offer letter agreement), in addition to any earned but unpaid salary and his accrued and vested benefits under the employee benefit programs of the Company, which are payable upon any termination of employment, Mr. Kotte also will be entitled to receive continued salary and health benefits for a period of 12 months following the date of such termination, subject to the mitigation provisions of the offer letter agreement.

Mr. Kotte will also be subject to confidentiality restrictions and inventions assignment obligations applicable during and after the period of his service with the Company that protect the Company’s proprietary information.

Letter Agreement with Executive Vice Presidents

Each of our Executive Vice Presidents that are Named Executive Officers are party to a letter agreement that supplements the terms of their offer letter (the “EVP letter agreement”), if applicable. The EVP letter agreement provides that in the event such executive’s employment is terminated by us without cause, in addition to any earned but unpaid salary and his accrued and vested benefits under our employee benefit programs, which are payable upon any termination of employment, such executive also will be entitled to receive any earned, but unpaid annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding termination and continued salary and health benefits for a period of 12 months following the date of such termination, subject to mitigation provisions and such executive’s timely execution of a general release of claims in favor of us and our affiliates. In the event of a “change of control” of our Company and such executive’s employment is terminated without “cause” within 12 months following the consummation of such “change in control,” the executive will receive full accelerated vesting of the outstanding, unvested portion of his equity awards. As discussed above, the time-vesting condition of the PBRSU awards for all of our Named Executive Officers would be satisfied upon a change in control of our Company.

Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements

As a condition to employment, each of our Named Executive Officers have entered into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with us. Under these agreements, each Named Executive Officer has agreed not to

solicit our employees and customers during his or her employment and for a period of 18 months after the termination of employment, not to compete with us during his or her employment and for a period of 12 months after the termination of employment, to protect our confidential and proprietary information and to assign to us intellectual property developed during the course of his or her employment.

Human Capital Committee Report

The human capital committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement/prospectus with the Company’s management. Based on such review and discussion with management, the human capital committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Human Capital Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers serves as a member of our board of directors or human capital committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of our board of directors or our committees.

No member of the human capital committee in 2021 had any relationship with us during 2021 requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, other than Mr. Sacks, who currently serves on the human capital committee. Mr. Sacks is an employee of an affiliate of certain investment funds that hold an ownership interest in the Investor. See “Related Party Transactions” for a description of the relationship and transactions between us and the Investor.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Flanagan, our President and Chief Executive Officer.

We determined that the annual total compensation of the median employee who was employed as of December 31, 2021, excluding Mr. Flanagan, was $21,216, Mr. Flanagan’s 2021 annual total compensation was $15,840,226, and the ratio of these amounts was 747:1.

To determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee”, the following methodology was used:

As of December 31, 2021, our total population consisted of 21,958 employees (including full-time, part-time and temporary employees). To identify the median compensated employee, we used base salary received in 2021, which was annualized for employees joining the Company during the year. The change in our total employee population from 2020 is attributable to the growth of our business.

For employees located outside of the U.S., compensation was converted to U.S. dollars using the spot exchange rate as of the last business day of the year (December 31, 2021).

 

203


Table of Contents

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

The R1 Board has adopted a written related person transaction policy to set forth policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which R1 was or is to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, and employment by R1 of a related person. R1’s related person transaction policy contains exceptions for any transaction or interest that is not considered a related person transaction under SEC rules as in effect from time to time.

Any related person transaction proposed to be entered into by R1 must be reported to R1’s general counsel and will be reviewed and approved by the audit committee in accordance with the terms of the policy, prior to effectiveness or consummation of the transaction whenever practicable. If R1’s general counsel determines that advance approval of a related person transaction is not practicable under the circumstances, the audit committee will review and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction at the next meeting of the audit committee.

Alternatively, R1’s general counsel may present a related person transaction arising in the time period between meetings of the audit committee to the chair of the audit committee, who will review and may approve the related person transaction, subject to ratification by the audit committee at the next meeting of the audit committee.

In addition, any related person transaction previously approved by the audit committee or otherwise already existing that is ongoing in nature will be reviewed by the audit committee annually to ensure that such related person transaction has been conducted in accordance with the previous approval granted by the audit committee, if any, and that all required disclosures regarding the related person transaction are made.

Transactions involving compensation of executive officers will be reviewed and approved by the human capital committee in the manner specified in the charter of the human capital committee.

A related person transaction reviewed under this policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the audit committee in accordance with the standards set forth in the policy after full disclosure of the related person’s interests in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the audit committee will review and consider:

 

   

the related person’s interest in the related person transaction;

 

   

the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction;

 

   

the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

 

   

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business of R1;

 

   

whether the transaction with the related person is proposed to be, or was, entered into on terms no less favorable to R1 than the terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

 

   

the purpose of, and the potential benefits to R1 of, the transaction; and

 

   

any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

 

205


Table of Contents

The audit committee will review all relevant information available to it about the related person transaction. The audit committee may approve or ratify the related person transaction only if the audit committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, R1’s best interests. The audit committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on us or the related person in connection with approval of the related person transaction.

Since January 1, 2021, R1 has engaged in the following transactions with our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of R1’s voting securities, and affiliates or immediate family members of R1’s directors, executive officers and 5% stockholders, in which such person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. All such transactions were approved pursuant to the above policy other than (i) the TCP-ASC Transaction (as defined below) and the A&R MPSA (as defined below) because at the time of R1’s entry into the TCP-ASC Transaction and the A&R MPSA, TowerBrook and Ascension were not related persons, (ii) the Securities Purchase Agreement and Intermountain Services Agreement (as defined below) with Intermountain because at the time of R1’s entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Intermountain Services Agreement, Intermountain was not a related person, and (iii) the LifePoint MSA, LifePoint Securities Purchase Agreement and LifePoint Sub-sublease (as defined below) because at the time of R1’s entry into those agreements, Mr. Dill was not a related person.

Strategic Transaction

On February 16, 2016, R1 entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Ascension. As part of the transaction, R1 amended and restated its Master Professional Services Agreement (“A&R MPSA”) with Ascension Health effective February 16, 2016 with a term of ten years. In addition, at the closing of the transaction, R1 issued to TCP-ASC: (i) 200,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of $200 million and (ii) a warrant with a term of ten years to acquire up to 60 million shares of R1 common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement (the “TCP-ASC Warrant”). The Series A Preferred Stock was immediately convertible into shares of common stock. R1 refers herein to the foregoing transactions consummated on February 16, 2016 with TCP-ASC and Ascension Health as the TCP-ASC Transaction.”

R1’s director Neal Moszkowski is a co-founder of TowerBrook and has served as the firm’s co-chief executive officer since its inception in March 2005. R1’s director Ian Sacks is a managing director of TowerBrook. R1’s director Anthony J. Speranzo serves as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Ascension Capital, LLC, Ascension’s healthcare investment fund, and our director Anthony R. Tersigni serves as the Chair of the Board of Ascension Capital, LLC. Ascension is the parent company of Ascension Health.

In connection with the closing of the TCP-ASC Transaction, R1 entered into: (i) the Certificate of Designations of the 8.00% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 12, 2016; (ii) the TCP-ASC Warrant by and between R1 and TCP-ASC; (iii) the Investor Rights Agreement by and between R1 and TCP-ASC (the “TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement”); and (iv) a Registration Rights Agreement by and between R1 and TCP-ASC (the “TCP-ASC Registration Rights Agreement”), in each case that is more fully described below. On January 15, 2021, TCP-ASC converted all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. See “—Preferred Stock Agreement.”

A&R MPSA

R1’s A&R MPSA with Ascension Health was entered into, and is effective as of, February 16, 2016 and has an initial term of ten years. The A&R MPSA continues R1’s relationship with Ascension Health which commenced in October 2004 and was previously extended under the prior five-year Master Professional Services Agreement. In 2021, net services revenue from hospitals affiliated with Ascension Health represented approximately $893.5 million, or 61%, of our total net service revenue.

 

206


Table of Contents

Pursuant to the A&R MPSA, R1 provides its revenue cycle management service offering to hospitals affiliated with Ascension Health. The existing supplement agreements for such hospitals receiving services under the prior MPSA continued in effect, as appropriate, under the A&R MPSA. Each such hospital was also required to execute a supplement agreement to transition to R1’s such hospital’s “Physician Advisory Services” or “PAS” (as defined in the A&R MPSA) needs under the A&R MPSA. Certain other of Ascension Health’s affiliated hospitals not previously receiving services from R1 have executed or are expected to execute a supplement agreement to receive revenue cycle management services and PAS under the A&R MPSA. R1 has onboarded or started the onboarding process for substantially all of the new Ascension Health hospitals under the A&R MPSA. Further, R1 expects that additional hospitals acquired by Ascension Health or any of its affiliated hospital systems will, over time, execute supplement agreements under the A&R MPSA.

The A&R MPSA provides that each supplement agreement between R1 and a hospital affiliated with Ascension Health will incorporate the provisions of the A&R MPSA and provide that the hospital will be bound by the A&R MPSA and all amendments, modifications and waivers to which we and Ascension Health agree under the A&R MPSA. With certain limited exceptions, R1 will be the exclusive provider of revenue cycle management services and PAS with respect to acute care services provided by the hospitals affiliated with Ascension Health that execute supplement agreements with R1.

The A&R MPSA is structured as an operating partner model, whereby a significant number of Ascension Health’s revenue cycle employees become R1’s employees. The operating partner model also requires the transition of the non-payroll expenses supporting a hospital’s revenue cycle operations to become direct expenses of R1.

The A&R MPSA provides, among other things, that, when providing revenue cycle management or PAS to an affiliated hospital, in general, each hospital pays R1:

 

   

base fees equal to a specified percentage of cash collections; and

 

   

incentive payments equal to a specified percentage of cash collections, then adjusted based on the weighted average of R1’s performance scores across a series of income statement related performance metrics associated with the hospital’s revenue cycle operations.

In May 2017, R1 announced the expansion of our relationship with Ascension Health. The expanded relationship adds a health system which was acquired by Ascension Health after the signing of the A&R MPSA and increases the scope of R1’s contract by adding physician RCM services for all Ascension Health ministries in Wisconsin.

On and effective as of June 24, 2018, R1 and Ascension Health entered into a supplement (the AMG Supplement”) to the A&R MPSA. Pursuant to the AMG Supplement, R1 will provide RCM services for physician groups that receive services from Ascension Health’s National Revenue Service Center and other groups associated with Ascension Health-affiliated hospital systems. Each such physician group will be required to execute an addendum to the AMG Supplement for those physician groups to receive services under the AMG Supplement. Ascension Health has agreed that we may provide services to additional physician groups affiliated with or acquired by Ascension Health over time. The AMG Supplement also provides for the re-badging of certain centrally-based revenue cycle operations employees who support Ascension Health’s physician groups. R1 began providing services under the AMG Supplement during the fourth quarter of 2018.

On June 24, 2018, R1 entered into an amendment to the A&R MPSA (the “Presence Amendment”) with Ascension Health to provide that R1 will enter into a supplement to the A&R MPSA to provide for RCM services and PAS services for acute care to Presence Health hospitals in accordance with terms set forth in the Presence Amendment. Presence Health is a part of AMITA Health, which is a joint venture of Ascension’s Alexian Brothers Health System and Adventist Midwest Health, part of Adventist Health System. The Presence Amendment provided that if R1 enters into a new master professional services agreement with AMITA Health

for end-to-end RCM services in the future, the end-to-end RCM business with Presence will be governed by such new agreement.

entitled to nominate such number of individuals to the R1 Board constituting a majority of the R1 Board and to designate the chair of the R1 Board. For so long as the Ownership Threshold is not met but TCP-ASC’s “Ownership Percentage” (as that term is defined in the TCP-ASC Investor Rights Agreement) exceeds 10% of our common stock on an as-converted basis, then TCP-ASC shall be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) two directors, and for so long as the TCP-ASC’s Ownership Percentage is in the aggregate at least 5% but less than 10% of R1’s common stock on an as-converted basis, then TCP-ASC shall be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the R1 Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) one director. Additionally, subject to applicable law and the listing standards of Nasdaq (or other United States national securities exchange that our common stock is listed upon, if any), R1 will offer TCP-ASC Designees an opportunity to, at TCP-ASC’s option, either sit on each regular committee of the R1 Board in relative proportion to the number of TCP-ASC Designees on the R1 Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer.

As amended, for as long as TCP-ASC and the TCP-ASC’s affiliates, taken together, hold in the aggregate at least 75% of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock have been converted, for which the Series A Preferred Stock has been exchanged or that have otherwise been issued in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, including pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement, the following matters will require the approval of a majority of the common stock held by TCP-ASC or any TCP-ASC affiliate to proceed: (i) the amendment or modification of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any manner that adversely impacts the rights of holders of common stock; (ii) the creation, authorization or issuance of any equity securities R1 or any of its subsidiaries in any manner that adversely impacts the rights of holders of common stock; (iii) any amendment of the amended and restated Master Professional Services Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2016, as amended or supplemented from time to time, by and between Ascension and R1; (iv) the incurrence of any indebtedness in excess of $100.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year (other than refinancings of existing indebtedness); (v) the sale, transfer or other disposition of assets or businesses of R1 or its subsidiaries with a value in excess of $10.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year (other than sales of inventory or supplies in the ordinary course of business), sales of obsolete assets (excluding real estate), sale-leaseback transactions and accounts receivables factoring transactions; (vi) the acquisition of any assets or properties (in one or more related transactions) for cash or otherwise for an amount in excess of $100.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year (other than acquisitions of inventory and equipment in the ordinary course of business); (vii) capital expenditures in excess of $25.0 million individually (or in the aggregate if related to an integrated program of activities) or in excess of $25.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year; (viii) the approval of R1’s annual budget; (ix) the hiring or termination of R1’s chief executive officer; (x) the appointment or removal of the chairperson of the R1 Board; and (xi) making, or permitting any subsidiary to make, loans to, investments in, or purchasing, or permitting any subsidiary to purchase, any stock or other securities in another corporation, joint venture, partnership or other entity in excess of $25.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year.

TCP-ASC is subject to customary standstill provisions, which are applicable to purchases of debt as well as equity securities and include prohibitions on hedging activities, until the later of (i) three years after the closing of the TCP-ASC Transaction and (ii) such time as TCP-ASC owns less than 25% of the outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis.

to the TCP-ASC’s Ownership Percentage. If TCP-ASC does not exercise this purchase right within 30 days of receiving notice of the proposed offering, then R1 has 120 days to complete the offering on terms no more favorable than those offered to TCP-ASC.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Transactions, R1, New R1 and TCP-ASC will enter into an amended and restated investor rights agreement, which will replace and supersede the existing Investor Rights Agreement.

In 2021, net services revenue from Intermountain hospitals and medical group providers represented approximately $201.4 million, or 14% of R1’s total net service revenue.

Pursuant to the Intermountain Services Agreement, R1 will continue to provide our revenue cycle management service offering to Intermountain hospitals and medical group providers.

base fees equal to a specified percentage of the prior year’s same quarter cash collections (adjusted for inflation and volume); and

 

   

incentive payments equal to a specified percentage of cash collections, then adjusted based on the weighted average of R1 performance scores across a series of performance metrics associated with the hospital’s revenue cycle operations.

Additionally, subject to applicable law and the listing standards of the Nasdaq (or other United States national securities exchange that the common stock is listed upon, if any), R1 will offer the Intermountain Designee an opportunity to, at Intermountain’s option, either sit on each regular committee of the R1 Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. If the Intermountain Designee fails to satisfy the applicable qualifications under law or stock exchange listing standard to sit on any committee of the R1 Board, then the R1 Board shall offer the Intermountain Designee the opportunity to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer.

Concurrently with the execution of the LifePoint Securities Purchase Agreement, the LifePoint Investor signed a joinder to the amended TCP-ASC Registration Rights Agreement to add the LifePoint Investor as a party and to provide it with certain registration rights.

As contemplated by the LifePoint Securities Purchase Agreement, R1 has sub-subleased one facility from the LifePoint Investor (the “LifePoint Sub-sublease”) for use by R1’s employees in providing services, including services to LifePoint. The initial term of the LifePoint Sub-sublease is ten years commencing on January 1, 2021, and R1 is not required to pay rent under the LifePoint Sub-sublease during the initial term.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW R1’S CAPITAL STOCK

General

Under the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New R1 (the “Charter”), and assuming the Authorized Share Increase Proposal of New R1 is approved by stockholders at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, New R1 will be authorized to issue 750 million shares of New R1 Common Stock and 5 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

The holders of New R1 Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and do not have any cumulative voting rights.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of New R1 Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by New R1’s board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose.

R1 does not currently, and New R1 does not currently intend to, pay quarterly cash dividends on shares of its common stock. The payment of dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of New R1’s board of directors and will depend upon general business conditions, legal and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that New R1’s board of directors may deem to be relevant.

Liquidation Rights

Subject to the rights of any then outstanding preferred stock which ranks senior to New R1 Common Stock, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New R1, the holders of New R1 Common Stock will be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all of its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of New R1 legally available for distribution to stockholders.

Other Rights

There are no conversion rights or redemption, purchase, retirement or sinking fund provisions with respect to the New R1 Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and New R1’s Charter and Bylaws

Delaware law, the Charter and New R1’s Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of New R1. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of New R1 to first negotiate with the New R1 Board.

Board of Directors; Removal of Directors

The Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a director may be removed with or without cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes that all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in an election of directors. Any vacancy on the New R1 Board, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum. At each annual meeting, the entire board will stand for election for a one-year term. The limitations on the removal of directors and filling of vacancies could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of New R1.

Table of Contents

Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings

The Charter provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by New R1’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. The Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the Company’s stockholders can only be called by New R1’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer or board of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals

The Amended and Restated Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to New R1’s secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. This written notice must contain certain information specified in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of New R1’s outstanding voting securities.

Delaware Business Combination Statute

New R1 is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the New R1 Board or unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving New R1 and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of New R1’s assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of New R1’s outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. The Amended and Restated Bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the New R1 Board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes which all New R1 stockholders would be entitled to cast in any election of directors. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes which all the Company’s stockholders would be entitled to cast in any election of directors is required to amend or repeal or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Charter described above under “—Board of Directors; Removal of Directors” and “— Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings.”

The transfer agent and registrar for the New R1 Common Stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC.

PROPOSAL 3—THE AUTHORIZED SHARE INCREASE PROPOSAL

R1 stockholders are asked to authorize an increase of the number of authorized shares of R1 Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 750,000,000 shares. The increase in R1’s authorized shares of common stock will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.

The form of the text of the amendment (which would be filed with the Delaware secretary of state) is set forth as Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus (subject to any changes required by applicable law).

The approval of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock is important for the ongoing business of R1. Without additional authorized shares of common stock, (i) R1 may not be able to raise additional financing, (ii) R1 may not be able to attract and retain key employees, officers and directors, and (iii) R1 may not be able to make possible strategic acquisitions.

The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock may be available for the R1 Board to issue in future financings, to provide equity incentive to employees, officers and directors, to make stock-based acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes, and R1 intends to use the additional shares of common stock that will be available to undertake any such issuances. R1 has no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of common stock subsequent to this proposed increase in the number of authorized shares at this time, and has not allocated any specific portion of the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose. It is therefore requested that R1 stockholders approve the proposal to amend R1’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock.

Any authorized shares of common stock, if and when issued, would be part of R1’s existing class of common stock and would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently outstanding. R1 stockholders do not have pre-emptive rights with respect to the common stock, nor do they have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, should the R1 Board issue additional shares of common stock, existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase any of such shares, and their percentage ownership of R1’s then-outstanding common stock could be reduced.

Future issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock could have a dilutive effect on R1’s earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and ownership interest of current stockholders. The additional shares of common stock for which authorization is sought in this proposal would be part of the existing class of common stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock presently outstanding. R1 could also use the additional shares of common stock that will become available for issuance to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of R1. For example, it may be possible for the R1 Board to delay or impede a takeover or transfer of control of R1 by causing such additional authorized shares to be issued to holders who might side with the R1 Board in opposing a takeover bid that the R1 Board determines is not in the best interests of R1 or its stockholders. The proposed increase in authorized shares of common stock therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the proposed increase in authorized shares of common stock may limit the opportunity for R1’S stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal. The proposed increase in authorized shares of common stock may have the effect of permitting R1’s current management, including the current R1 Board, to retain its position, and place it in a better position to resist changes that stockholders may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of R1’s business. The R1 Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of R1, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the R1 Board from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

PROPOSAL 4 —THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

The audit committee of the R1 Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Although stockholder approval of the audit committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP is not required by law, R1 believes that it is important to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If R1’s stockholders do not ratify this selection, then R1’s audit committee will reconsider the selection. R1 expects that a representative of Ernst & Young LLP, which is serving as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022 and served as R1’s independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, will be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement if he or she wishes and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

R1 incurred the following fees from its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Total Fees

   $ 4,080      $ 4,120  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for the audit of R1’s annual consolidated financial statements, the review of the interim consolidated financial statements and subsidiary audits for both 2021 and 2020, and other professional services provided in connection with R1’s filings with the SEC, including any related consents and comfort letters for each respective year based on the timing of the work performed.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees for 2021 and 2020 consisted of fees for financial due diligence services related to acquisitions, attestation services for service organizations as required by certain of the Company’s contracts with customers, and fees for the audit of the Company’s employee benefit plan.

Tax Fees. Tax fees for 2021 and 2020 consisted of fees for tax compliance and related regulatory filings in foreign jurisdictions and tax advisory services relating to tax reform and transfer pricing arrangements in both the U.S. and India.

All Other Fees. All other fees for 2021 consisted primarily of a subscription for access to an accounting research tool and for 2020 consisted primarily of fees for a fact-based findings report relating to certain compliance-related matters.

The audit committee of the R1 Board believes that the non-audit services described above did not compromise Ernst & Young LLP’s independence. The audit committee’s charter, which you can find in the “Corporate Governance” section of the “Investor Relations” page of R1’s website, www.r1rcm.com, requires that all proposals to engage Ernst & Young LLP for services, and all proposed fees for these services, be submitted to the audit committee for approval before Ernst & Young LLP may provide the services. None of the above fees were approved using the “de minimis exception” under SEC rules.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

Our audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by R1’s registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that

 

220


Table of Contents

R1 will not engage its registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the audit committee.

From time to time, the audit committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to R1 by its registered public accounting firm during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or type of services to be provided. R1’s audit committee pre-approved all of the services described under the headings “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” above.

Approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Transactions.

Approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of all shares of R1 Common Stock represented at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on the proposal.

PROPOSAL 5—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

This proposal would permit the R1 Board to adjourn from time to time the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the other proposals.

If the time and place of an adjourned meeting (and means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present virtually and vote at such adjourned meeting) are announced at the original convening of the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting, no notice of an adjourned meeting need be given unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if, after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to R1 stockholders of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of all shares of R1 Common Stock represented at the 2022 R1 Annual Meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on the proposal (whether or not a quorum is present).

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Transactions.

NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Appraisal rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders in certain extraordinary transactions such as certain mergers to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the DGCL. In particular, no appraisal rights are available with respect to mergers, such as the Holding Company Reorganization, that are effected under Section 251(g) of the DGCL. Therefore, holders of shares of R1 Common Stock will not be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Transactions.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXIES

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for notices of internet availability of proxy materials or annual reports and proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single notice or annual report and proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. R1 and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single notice or annual report and proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

Once you have received notice from your broker or R1 that they or R1 will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. You may request to receive at any time a separate copy of R1’s annual report or proxy statement, by sending a written request to R1 RCM Inc., 434 W. Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah 84123, Attention: Investor Relations.

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate notice or annual report and proxy statement in the future, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or R1 if you hold registered shares. You can notify R1 by sending a written request to R1 RCM Inc., 434 W. Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah 84123, Attention: Investor Relations. If, at any time, you and another stockholder sharing the same address wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive a single copy of R1’s notice or annual report and proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or R1 if you hold registered shares. You can notify R1 by sending a written request to R1 RCM Inc., 434 W. Ascension Way, 6th Floor, Murray, Utah 84123, Attention: Investor Relations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the unit holders and the Board of Directors of Revint Holdings, LLC

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Revint Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

F-2


Table of Contents
   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates—The presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts and other payables. Management believes that the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts either due to the short-term nature of the instruments or because the rate of interest being charged on the notes approximates market interest rates.

Concentrations of Credit RiskThe Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company places its cash with commercial banking institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit; however, management believes the credit risk is minimal.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company’s customers are hospitals and hospital systems, with some physician practices. We generate revenue primarily through technology-enabled revenue intelligence solutions, whereby the Company will identify underpaid or unidentified revenue for its customers. The compensation to the Company is rendered via performance fee, fixed fee, and time and materials contracts. Substantially all of the Company’s customer contracts are cancellable by either counterparty, effected by a written termination notice. In the case of an early termination, the Company generally has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to determine this amount: (1) identify the contract, (2) identify the performance obligation, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price, and (5) recognize revenue. (See Note 4).

Optimization Suite

The Company reviews medical record documentation to determine correct coding on claim submissions, appropriate payment on patient transfers to other providers, appropriate charges for information on services sent to payers and insurance companies for reimbursement using an automated charge review technology-enabled service solution, and assists customers in obtaining payments from insurance companies for healthcare services provided after payment has been underpaid. Our customers can benefit from our optimization suite as we perform our services as medical record documentation is reviewed and additional reimbursement is identified. That is, each period of performance is distinct. Further, each period of performance is substantially the same and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Accordingly, services under contracts in our optimization suite are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period. Fixed fees for our services are recognized ratably over the contract period. Performance fees for our services are variable consideration contingent upon collections by our clients. We estimate the variable consideration for which we expect to be entitled from our service arrangements. The estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price typically involves estimating the amounts our customers will ultimately collect and the relative fee we charge that is calculated as a percentage of those collections. Inputs to these estimates include historical collections from the customer or a portfolio of similar contracts. We may apply a constraint when appropriate whereby we include in the transaction price estimated variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. To the extent that historical data is not available, revenue is constrained until such amounts can be reasonably estimated. We allocate variable consideration to each distinct period to which it relates since this reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for the services we have performed to date, the terms of the variable consideration relate specifically to our effort to satisfy the portion of our performance obligation and the amount reflects the value transferred to the customer for the period.

Acceleration Suite

The Company assists healthcare providers to obtain payment from insurers for denied reimbursement or unpaid services. The performance obligation consists of the review of clinical and coding data. Our customers can benefit from our acceleration suite as we perform our services as clinical and coding data is reviewed, and additional reimbursement is identified. That is, each period of performance is distinct. Further, each period of performance is substantially the same and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Accordingly, services

under contracts in our acceleration suite are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period. Performance fees for our services are variable consideration contingent upon collections by our clients. We estimate the variable consideration for which we expect to be entitled from our service arrangements. The estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price typically involves estimating the amounts our customers will ultimately collect and the relative fee we charge that is calculated as a percentage of those collections. Inputs to these estimates include historical collections from the customer or a portfolio of similar contracts. We may apply a constraint when appropriate whereby we include in the transaction price estimated variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. To the extent that historical data is not available, revenue is constrained until such amounts can be reasonably estimated. We allocate variable consideration to each distinct period to which it relates since this reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for the services we have performed to date, the terms of the variable consideration relate specifically to our effort to satisfy the portion of our performance obligation and the amount reflects the value transferred to the customer for the period.

Other

The Company provides additional healthcare technology enabled services including government related and other payment review services to identify billings to payers which have been underpaid or denied, and automation services to simplify complex, labor-intensive workflows, and improve data accuracy and cash collections.

For government related solutions, performance obligations are the preparation of the customer’s Medicare cost report re-opening request which ends upon submission of the report deliverable, which represents the list development phase, and coordination with the customer and Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”) in preparing and providing audit support throughout the full lifecycle of the cost report, which represents the audit support phase. The transaction price is determined based on either fixed or performance fees applied to additional net reimbursements or amended cost reports. Revenue is recognized by ratably spreading an initial percentage of the total transaction price over the list development phase; a period that begins when the Company initiates work on a project and ends on the report delivery date. The remaining percentage of the transaction price is recognized during the audit support phase. The percentages are determined based on historical data for the specific service provided. As the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that our customers control as it is being created and the report does not have an alternative use to the Company, revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on the costs of time and materials consumed.

The performance obligation associated with payment review services is the identification of billings to payers which have been underpaid or denied. The transaction price is determined based on the service provided which is priced at a fixed fee or based on costs of time and materials. Revenue is recognized using the input method over the performance period based on time or other inputs as stated in the contract. As the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that our customers control as it is being created and the report does not have an alternative use to the Company, revenue is recognized over time.

The performance obligation associated with our automation services involves the development, delivery, maintenance, and monitoring of an automation solution to help simplify and improve data accuracy and accelerate cash collections. As these services are all interrelated and not capable of being distinct, they are recognized as a single performance obligation. The transaction price is based on a fixed fee and recognized using the input method over the performance period. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as we perform, revenue is recognized ratably over time.

Accounts ReceivableThe Company recognizes both billed and unbilled receivables. Billed receivables are recognized at invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Unbilled receivables are recognized

amounts not yet billed subject only to the passage of time. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts by establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts primarily based on collection history. The following table summarizes the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Contract AssetsContract assets relate to a portion of the revenue recognized in both the Optimization and Other Suites and represent the Company’s right to consideration for services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment purchases are recorded at historical cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

    

Estimated useful lives

Leasehold improvements

   The lesser of the term of lease or estimated useful life

Computers and equipment

   3–5 years

Furniture and other equipment

   5–7 years

Building

   30–40 years

Expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while those considered normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Other Intangible Assets, Net—Other intangible assets, net, consists of trade names, developed technology, customer relationships, and intellectual property. The intangible assets are recorded at fair value as of acquisition date. We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to 22 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangible AssetsThe Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events or changes in circumstances may include a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used; significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset; current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company assesses recoverability of a long-lived asset by determining whether the carrying value of the asset group can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows over their remaining lives. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the forecasted undiscounted

cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized and measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value. An impairment loss is charged to operations in the period in which management determines such impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2020, management determined impairment of trade names in the amount of $5.5 million existed relating to rebranding of the Company which is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of operations. Management determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed at December 31, 2021 or 2019.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—As the result of the initial acquisition effective December 13, 2017, and all other acquisitions in 2018 through 2021, the Company obtained a variety of tangible and intangible assets, with the excess of purchase price over identifiable assets acquired recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company elected push-down accounting to record all goodwill at the Company and subsidiaries.

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which states that goodwill should be evaluated for impairment at least annually or when an event occurs, or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill may first be assessed on a qualitative basis, which is optional. If goodwill is not assessed on a qualitative basis, or if it is determined there might be indicators of impairment of goodwill, it must be tested on a quantitative basis. Goodwill is assessed at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit.

The Company also evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if conditions exist that indicate that assets may be impaired.

For goodwill impairment testing, we performed a quantitative assessment in 2021 concluding that the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded the respective reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 for goodwill impairment testing, we performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the respective carrying amount. For indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing, for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than the respective carrying amount. Accordingly, there was no impairment to the value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the current environment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment as a result of the operating conditions resulting from COVID-19 or otherwise and concluded that while there have been events and circumstances in the macro environment that have impacted us, we have not experienced any entity specific indicators of impairment.

Internal-Use SoftwareThe Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to the Company’s technology infrastructure. These costs include personnel and related employee benefits expenses for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to software projects and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software. Software development costs that do not meet the qualification for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. (See Note 6).

Software development activities generally consist of three stages: (i) the planning stage, (ii) the application and infrastructure development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and post-implementation stages of software development, including costs associated with the post-configuration training and repairs and maintenance of the developed technologies, are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs associated with software developed for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed, management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed as intended. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development

stages, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. Capitalization ends once a project is substantially complete, and the software and technologies are ready for their intended purpose. Internal-use software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 2-5 years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived. The Company does not transfer ownership of its software, or lease its software, to third parties. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company capitalized approximately $11.2 million and $9.5 million respectively, of internal-use software.

Business CombinationsThe Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, based on their fair values as of the business combination date. Any amounts of the purchase price in excess over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired are allocated to goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through transaction expenses in the statement of operations.

Earn-out Liabilities—The value of the earn-out liabilities is based on the expected future payment to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses according to the provisions outlined in the purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the Company considered a variety of factors, including earnings forecasts and market risk assumptions. The expected future payment was estimated using the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreement and adjusted based on the probability of achieving these targets, using the Monte-Carlo approach. The estimated payment was then discounted to the valuation date using the Company’s estimated pre-tax cost of debt.

Although there is significant judgment involved, the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable.

Equity-based Compensation—Compensation cost related to Class P unit and Restricted Unit (“RSU”) transactions of Holdings are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Compensation cost is recorded based on the fair value of the Class P unit and RSU transactions issued and recognized as an expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Equity-based compensation expense recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is based on the value of the portion of Class P unit and RSU awards that is expected to vest. The 26,000, 176,840 and 18,750 Class P units granted during 2021, 2020 and 2019 were determined to have a weighted-average fair value per unit of approximately $178.62, $73.02 and $83.87, respectively. The 81,999 RSU’s granted during 2020 were determined to have a weighted-average fair value per unit of approximately $111.56.

Interest Expense—Interest expense reflects interest on debt arrangements and the amortization of certain debt discounts and costs.

Income TaxesThe Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date.

Advertising—Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $1.4 million, $810 thousand and $636 thousand, respectively, and were expensed as incurred.

Going Concern—The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Other Comprehensive Income—ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, prescribes the reporting required for comprehensive income and items of other comprehensive income. Entities having no items of other comprehensive income are not required to report on comprehensive income. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Below, we include a description of certain recent accounting pronouncements that may have an impact on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes a right-of-use model and requires a lessee to recognize the right-of-use assets and liabilities arising from leases on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also requires disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. This new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022 (the “effective date”).

ASU No. 2016-02 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; ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements; and ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements. ASU 2016-02 and relevant updates require a modified retrospective transition, with the cumulative effect of transition, including initial recognition of lease assets and liabilities for existing operating leases as of (i) the effective date or (ii) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. These updates also provide a number of practical expedients for transition and implementation that will be elected.

The Company will adopt this standard using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of the effective date. The Company plans to elect the package of practical expedients in transition, which permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions pertaining to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs on leases that commenced prior to our adoption of the new standard. The Company also will elect the practical expedient to account for our leases as a single lease component. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or land easements transition practical expedients. Additionally, the Company will elect ongoing practical expedients including the option to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to leases with an original term of twelve months or less.

The Company believes that ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet as a result of the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases upon adoption. The Company estimates total assets and liabilities will increase approximately $23 million upon adoption. This estimate may change as the implementation is finalized as a result of changes to the Company’s lease portfolio prior to adoption. The Company does not believe that there will be a material impact to our results of operations, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.

ASU No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 introduces the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 applies to all financial instruments carried at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. The new accounting standard does not apply to trading assets, loans held for sale, financial assets for which the fair value option has been elected, or loans and receivables between entities under common control. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-15. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard requires that an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2019-12. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2020-06. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements.

ASU No. 2021-08. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 305): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the revenue contracts. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements.

F-24


Table of Contents

Receivables represent amounts due from customers and are recognized in the period the Company provides services when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 days.

Deferred revenue relates to the advance consideration received or the amount due from customers for which revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. Deferred revenue is included in current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized revenue of $534 thousand and $533 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of which amounts were included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods.

Significant Judgments—The accounting estimates and judgments related to the recognition of revenue require the Company to make assumptions about numerous factors, such as the determination of performance obligations and determination of transaction price. In determining the amounts of revenue to recognize, the Company uses the following methods, inputs, and assumptions:

Determination of Performance Obligations— The unit of measure under ASC 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct or series of distinct goods or services to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company reviews each contract to determine the performance obligations. For the Optimization and Acceleration suites, the performance obligations consist of our review of medical record documentation to assist healthcare providers to determine correct coding on claim submissions, appropriate payment on patient transfers to other providers, appropriate charges for information on services sent to payers and insurance companies for reimbursement using an automated charge review technology-enabled service solution, and assists customers in obtaining payments from insurance companies for healthcare services provided after payment has been underpaid, denied or unpaid. For a portion of the Other Suite, the majority of the performance obligation is met over the list development phase and the final portion during the audit support phase. See Note 2 for additional information on the Company’s suites.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations—The amount that is allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied is $3.7 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Determination of Transaction Price—The transaction price is identified as the estimate of total consideration. The estimate of variable consideration requires significant judgment as it involves estimating the amounts our customers will ultimately collect and the relative fee we charge that is calculated as a percentage of those collections. The reassessment of the transaction price for estimated variable consideration previously recognized and subsequently resolved resulted in a reduction of revenue of $2.9 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Inputs to these estimates include historical collections from the customer or a portfolio of similar contracts. Within our Optimization, Acceleration and Other Suites, we may apply a constraint, when appropriate, whereby we include in the transaction price estimated variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. To the extent that historical data is not available revenue is constrained until such amounts can be reasonably estimated. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, $211.2 million, $89.2 million and $38.8 million of revenue was recognized for variable consideration that was initially constrained due to lack of available historical information but was subsequently resolved.

Timing of Recognition— Within the Optimization and Acceleration Suite, revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period. When appropriate, we apply a constraint to revenue until such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Within the Other Suite: (1) revenue for government related services is recognized ratably over the list development phase, with the remaining revenue recognized during the audit support phase, (2) revenue for

 

F-25


Table of Contents

payment review services is recognized over the performance period based on time or other inputs as stated in the contract, (3) revenue for automation services is recognized ratably over the performance period.

Generally, the amount of revenue recognized does not correspond directly in the same period with the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer since in many instances invoices are issued upon the cash collection by a customer hospital. The deferred revenue relates to the advance consideration received or the amount due from customers for which revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred to the customer.

Costs to obtain a contractThe Company pays sales commissions to its employees and issues certain incentives for the execution of a contract. Sales commissions and incentives are incremental costs to obtaining a contract as these costs would not be incurred if the contract was not executed. These costs are capitalized as a prepaid asset and amortized over the life of the contract. The closing balance of capitalized contract costs relating to sales commissions and incentives were $3.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The amount of amortization recognized relating to capitalized sales commissions and incentives were $3.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $2.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On October 15, 2020, the Company entered into a $640.0 million Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, the administrative agent (the “2020 Credit Facility”). The terms of the 2020 Credit Facility provide for $640.0 million in Initial Term Loans and $75.0 million Revolving Credit Commitments. All loans bear interest at either the Base Rate or LIBOR plus a spread, as defined in the agreement based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate. The 2020 Credit Facility has been guaranteed by Intermediate and is collateralized by the assets of the Company.

Initial borrowings at October 15, 2020 were $640.0 million in Initial Term Loans. The Initial Term Loans require quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the amount borrowed, which commenced on June 30, 2021 with the remaining balance due at maturity on October 15, 2027.

The proceeds of the Initial Term Loans were used to (i) repay in full all outstanding indebtedness of the Company; and (ii) pay certain fees, premiums, expenses and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Triage acquisition.

Upon entering into the Initial Term Loans in 2020, the Company incurred debt financing fees of $36.6 million, which were initially recorded as a reduction of the debt liability and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method from the issuance date of the term loan to the maturity date.

As the 2020 Credit Facility was deemed a debt extinguishment of the existing debt of the Company, the unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the existing debt in the amount of $4.4 million were expensed as interest expense at extinguishment.

On October 18, 2021, we completed the repricing of the 2020 Credit Facility. The amendment reduces the spread by 0.75% and reduces the LIBOR floor from 0.75% to 0.5%.

On December 15, 2021, pursuant to the 2020 Credit Facility, we drew an additional $240.0 million in Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans are subject to the same terms applicable to the Initial Term Loans.

Upon completion of the repricing of the 2020 Credit Facility and the draw of the Incremental Term Loans, the Company incurred debt financing fees of $6.7 million, which were recorded as a reduction of the debt liability and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method from the date of issuance to maturity.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $75 million was available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Loans. Under the Revolving Credit Loans, the Company incurs undrawn commitment fees at an annual rate of 0.5%.

The 2020 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a “springing” financial covenant for the benefit of the revolving credit lenders under the 2020 Credit Facility requiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio of 7.75:1.00 if on the relevant test date the aggregate outstanding amount of revolving credit loans and letters of credit (excluding the issued and undrawn letters of credit and cash collateralized letters of credit) exceed 35% of the aggregate amount of the revolving credit commitments under the 2020 Credit Facility. This ratio is calculated as the consolidated first lien debt as of the last day of the test period, minus an amount equal to the unrestricted cash amount as of such date, to the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2020 Credit Facility) for such test period. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants.

There were no outstanding short-term borrowings at December 31, 2021 or 2020.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the Company’s principal market for such transactions. If there is not an established principal market, fair value is derived from the most advantageous market. The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates their fair values as interest rates approximate market rates.    

The Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and unobservable inputs:

 

   

Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 Inputs are directly or indirectly observable valuation inputs for the asset or liability, excluding Level 1 inputs.

 

   

Level 3 Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values at:

The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo approach to determine the fair value of its earn-out liabilities associated with certain acquired businesses. These amounts were paid based upon the calculated value per the purchase agreement of the acquired business. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurement of our earn-out liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:

10.    INCOME TAXES

Revint Holdings is treated as a pass-through partnership for income tax reporting purposes and not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company is only liable for income taxes on the portion of earnings allocated to the C corporations. In 2018, AS Buyer and New AcuStream were formed as C corporations for US federal income tax purposes and acquired an ownership interest of Intermediate III. In 2021, additional C corporations were formed to facilitate acquisitions, including New EMRS, New Eligibill, and New Par8o. Through restructuring transactions, New Par8o acquired the ownership interest of Intermediate III.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes and the related liabilities. The provision for income taxes includes taxes paid, currently payable or receivable and deferred. The income tax expense from continuing operations consists of the following:

The deferred tax liabilities recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021 are primarily attributable to the book-tax difference in amortizable intangibles related to the Eligibill and Par8o acquisitions.

The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $619 thousand as of December 31, 2021, of which $619 thousand expires in 2038. The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2021, which begin to expire in 2034.

As of December 31, 2021, a valuation allowance of $427 thousand has been recorded on the deferred tax assets related to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and Section 163(j) interest carryforwards.

No uncertain tax positions existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company files income tax returns as required by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to examination by federal and certain state and local tax authorities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s federal and state income tax returns for the years 2018 through 2020 remain open and are subject to examination. Currently, no tax authorities are auditing any of the Company’s income tax matters.

EMPLOYEE 401(K) PLAN

The Company maintains deferred compensation plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

In May 2020, the Company suspended matching contributions to employees in response to COVID-19. The Company re-instated matching contributions at the beginning of 2021.

In 2020, with the acquisition of Praxis, the Praxis 401(k) plan allowed for 25% matching up to 8% of the employees’ deferred amount, vested over six years. Also, with the acquisition of Triage, the Triage 401(k) plan allowed for discretionary matching up to 2% of the employees’ deferred amount at 100%. Neither of these plans were subject to the aforementioned matching contribution suspension. The Praxis 401(k) plan and Triage 401(k) plan were merged with the Company’s 401(k) plan and were subject to the Company’s matching contribution policies effective January 1, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, there was one plan of which the Company matched up to 4% of the employees’ deferred amount—100% on the first 3% and 50% of the next 2%.

Under the plans, employees may elect to defer up to $19.5 thousand of their salary in 2021 and 2020, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service limits. Total expense related to the Company 401(k) matching programs was $3.6 million, $765 thousand and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

MEMBERS’ EQUITY

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Revint Holdings, LLC had four classes of members’ interests, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, and Class A-4 which all contained voting rights. A class of profit units designated as Class P units are available for grant to employees, consultants, or advisors of the Company. Class P units do not contain voting rights.

During 2020, an Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) was entered into for the Company, allowing for the issuance of another class of members’ interest, Class A-4. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, to the extent the Company authorizes the issuance of additional Units in excess of the authorized amount specified in the LLC Agreement, the number of authorized Units of the relevant class or classes shall automatically be deemed increased, without requiring further amendments to the LLC Agreement.

 

F-33


Table of Contents

Class A-3 units are not entitled to participate in any distributions until the outstanding Class A-1 units have received aggregate distributions as discussed in Article IX, Distributions, of the amended and restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Revint Holdings, LLC. Class A-3 units will then be entitled to catch-up distributions until each Class A-3 interest has received distributions and thereafter will be entitled to participate in distributions on a pro rata basis with the Class A-1, A-2, and A-4 Units.

As outlined in the LLC Agreement, the Class P units are subject to a conversion into a number of Class A-1 units provided that unless otherwise determined by the Board, no fractional A-1 units issued in connection with a Class P Unit conversion and the Class A-1 units issued in connection with the conversion shall not have any voting rights unless an Initial Public Offering has occurred.

Immediately prior to, but subject to the subsequent consummation of, an Initial Public Offering of Interests in the Company where a Conversion has not otherwise occurred, each Class A-4 Unit shall automatically convert into Class A-1 Units as outlined in the LLC Agreement.

The grant date fair value of our Class A, RSU and Class P unit awards are estimated based on the Monte Carlo equity allocation simulation. The grant date fair value of the enterprise was determined using both the guideline public company analysis and discounted cash flow method. The equity value of the enterprise represents a key input for determining the fair value of our awards. A discount for lack of marketability was applied to the per unit fair value to reflect increased risk arising from the inability to readily sell these equity awards. The estimated fair values for awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
 
     2021     2020  

Assumptions:

    

Expected term (in years)

     1.5       2.2  

Expected volatility

     45     70

Risk-free interest rate

     0.2     0.1

Dividend yield

     —       —  

Since we are privately held, we calculate the expected volatility using comparable peer companies with publicly traded shares over a term similar to the expected term of the underlying award. In order to estimate the equity value of the enterprise to determine the fair value of our awards, we used a combination of the market approach and the income approach. For the market approach, we utilized the guideline public company analysis. The guideline public company analysis involves the use of trading multiples derived from publicly traded companies that we consider to be similar to us. These multiples are then applied to our financial projections based on assumptions at the time of the valuation to estimate our total enterprise value. As there is no active market for our awards, a discount for lack of marketability was then applied to the resulting fair value of the awards. For the income approach, we utilized the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is based on cash flow projections discounted at an appropriate discount rate to arrive at an enterprise value.

Restricted Units

In connection with the Triage acquisition, the Company issued RSU’s which gave the participants the rights to receive Class A-1 membership interests. The total number of RSU’s authorized is 82,000 units. These restricted units vest equally over five years on the anniversary of the vesting commencement date with no partial vesting permitted.

The estimated fair value of RSUs is amortized straight-line as compensation expense over a term of five years for those awards expected to vest over the next five years. Total future compensation cost related to RSUs

Class P Units

Class P units are treated as equity-based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Class P units can be issued to employees, consultants, and advisors (“Participants”) of the Company in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between the Company and such Participants. Class P units are entitled to a “profits interest” subordinate to debt holders and Class A unit holders. The LLC Agreement authorized 300,000 Class P Units. The majority of the Class P units vest as follows: Fifty percent (50%) of the units vest in twenty percent (20%) increments over a five-year period beginning on the vesting date, subject to the condition that the Participant continues to be employed by the Company and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the units vest based upon certain performance conditions being met by the Company which is based on a change in control. One Class P unit holder vested 100% immediately upon date of grant and 62.5% of one Class P unit holder’s units vest over a four-year period with the remaining vesting upon certain performance conditions met by the Company. Finally, 50% of one Class P unit holder’s units vest over a five-year period with the remaining vesting upon certain performance conditions met by the individual. All Class P units granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 do not contain performance conditions and will vest equally over a five-year period beginning on the vesting date. All time-vesting units will become immediately vested in the event of a change in control of the Company. Performance-vesting units will vest only if certain performance conditions are met prior to or in the event of a change in control of the Company.

Revint Holdings, LLC has a repurchase option on vested Class P units in the event the Participant is no longer employed by the Company, without cause. It may elect or decline to exercise the repurchase option by delivering written notice to the Participants within 180 days after the termination. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $64 thousand to repurchase 850 vested units of Participants no longer employed by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid $208 thousand to repurchase 4,125 vested units of Participants no longer employed by the Company. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

The following tables summarize the Class P unit activity:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be involved in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on current knowledge, management believes these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable, and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak disrupted the business of many of our customers as elective surgeries were deferred and hospitals were responding to the healthcare needs of their communities. Although we have seen fluctuations in case counts with the emergence of different variants of the COVID-19 virus as the pandemic has evolved, we have continued to see patient volumes recover during 2021 to pre-pandemic levels. The future impact of COVID-19, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors is uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

15.

RELATED PARTIES

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company reimbursed approximately $62 thousand, $632 thousand and $66 thousand, respectively, to NMC Ranger for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

A former executive, who is also an equity owner in the Company, also maintains an ownership interest in a vendor. Total amounts paid to the vendor during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $5.1 million, $4.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. All payments made to the vendor reflect market rates.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2022, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

On January 10, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by R1 RCM Inc., a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, in an all-stock transaction.

WHEREAS, following the Coyote Reorganization, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of a single integrated transaction, (i) at the Effective Time, New Pubco, Merger Sub and Roadrunner shall consummate the Merger, and (ii) immediately following the Effective Time, the Sellers and New Pubco shall consummate the Contribution;

THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 1.01 The Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Roadrunner (the “Merger”) in accordance with Section 251(g) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Roadrunner shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Entity”). As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Entity shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco.

Table of Contents

(b) On the Closing Date and as soon as practicable after the Closing, or at such other time as shall be fixed by mutual agreement of Roadrunner and Coyote, Roadrunner shall file a certificate of merger in respect of the Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Merger Filing”). The Merger shall become effective as of the time at which the Merger Filing is filed or such later time on the Closing Date as Roadrunner and Coyote shall mutually agree and specify in the Merger Filing (the “Effective Time”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises, and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities, of Roadrunner and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.02 The Contribution.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, Coyote, Sellers and NMC Ranger shall consummate, or cause the consummation of, the Coyote Reorganization. Immediately following the Effective Time, (i) each Seller shall contribute, transfer and assign to New Pubco all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in all of the Blocker Parent LLC Interests held by such Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws) (the “Contribution” and, together with the Merger, the “Transactions”), and (ii) in exchange for such Blocker Parent LLC Interests, New Pubco shall (y) issue to each Seller its Pro Rata Share of the Consideration (it being agreed that the Consideration payable at the Closing shall be the Estimated Consideration) and (z) pay to each Seller an amount in cash equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expense Amount. The issuance to the Sellers of the shares of New Pubco Common Stock that comprise the Consideration is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, there is a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares with respect to, or rights issued in respect of, Roadrunner Common Stock (including by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise), the Consideration shall be adjusted accordingly to provide to each Seller the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 1.03 Consideration Adjustment.

(a) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Coyote and the Sellers shall cause to be prepared and shall provide to Roadrunner a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (and utilizing, for purposes of the Roadrunner Transaction Expenses and the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount, the information provided pursuant to Section 6.05) Coyote’s and the Sellers’ good faith estimates of the Coyote Net Debt (and the resulting Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount), Coyote Transaction Expenses (and the resulting Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount), the number of Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payment Amount (including, with respect to each Specified Cash Payee the amount of the Specified Payment Amount to which he, she or it is entitled) and the resulting Consideration (the “Estimated Consideration”), as well as each Seller’s Pro Rata Share. Following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Coyote and the Sellers shall (i) permit Roadrunner and its Representatives to have reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to the books, records and other non-privileged documents (including work papers, schedules and financial statements, etc.) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and Coyote’s calculation of the Estimated Consideration and provide Roadrunner with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by Roadrunner) and (ii) provide Roadrunner and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, and after reasonable advance notice, to Coyote’s senior executive employees who were involved in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement. Coyote and the Sellers shall consider in good faith any comments by Roadrunner on the Estimated Closing Statement, and if any changes or adjustments are made, the Estimated Closing Statement as so changed or adjusted shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement,

respectively, for all purposes hereunder. The estimated Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount, Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount, Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, and Specified Payment Amount calculations (including the components thereof) reflected in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Roadrunner shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Roadrunner’s calculation of the Coyote Net Debt (and the resulting Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount), the Coyote Transaction Expenses and the Roadrunner Transaction Expenses (and the resulting Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount), the Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payment Amount, the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount and the resulting Consideration. The Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount, the Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount, the Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payments Amount and the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount (including the components thereof) reflected in the Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Roadrunner shall (i) permit the Sellers and their Representatives to have reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to the books, records and other non-privileged documents (including work papers, schedules and financial statements, etc.) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement and Roadrunner’s calculation of the Consideration and provide the Sellers with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Sellers) and (ii) provide the Sellers and their Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to Roadrunner’s senior executive employees who were involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement. If the Sellers disagree with any part of Roadrunner’s calculation of the Consideration as set forth on the Closing Statement (including any component thereof), the Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Statement, notify Roadrunner in writing of such disagreement by setting forth the Sellers’ calculation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, and describing in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement (an “Objection Notice”). If the Sellers do not deliver an Objection Notice to Roadrunner within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement and the Consideration set forth therein prepared and delivered by Roadrunner shall be deemed to be finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03. If an Objection Notice is delivered to Roadrunner, then Roadrunner and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Consideration. In the event that Roadrunner and the Sellers are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after Roadrunner’s receipt of such Objection Notice (or such longer period as Roadrunner and the Sellers may agree in writing), Roadrunner and the Sellers shall submit such remaining disagreements to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not have any material conflicts with Roadrunner, Sellers or their respective Affiliates and is mutually agreed upon by Roadrunner and the Sellers (the Accounting Firm”).

(d) The Accounting Firm, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall make a final and binding determination with respect to the computation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, only to the extent such amounts are in dispute. Roadrunner and the Sellers shall cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, as soon as practicable. The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in Roadrunner’s and the Sellers’ respective calculations of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, that are identified as being items and amounts to which Roadrunner and the Sellers have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party in the Closing Statement or Objection Notice, as applicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Roadrunner and the Sellers (i.e., not on independent review) and on the provisions set forth in this Agreement. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.

(e) The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm in determining the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, shall be borne by New Pubco.

(f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03:

(i) if the Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03 is less than the Estimated Consideration, then the Sellers shall forfeit for no consideration the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock, and Roadrunner and the Sellers shall take all necessary actions to effect the forfeiture and cancellation of such shares, including instructing Roadrunner’s transfer agent to cancel such shares and reflect such cancellation in the books and records (including stock ledger) of Roadrunner; and

(ii) if the Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03 is greater than the Estimated Consideration, then Roadrunner shall issue to each Seller, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock, and Roadrunner and each Seller shall take all necessary actions to effect such issuances, including instructing Roadrunner’s transfer agent to issue such shares in book-entry form in the name of the applicable Seller.

All adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.03(f) shall (y) be treated by all parties for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as non-taxable adjustments to the Consideration unless otherwise required by a contrary “final determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local Law), and (z) be made solely by the Seller forfeiting the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock or Roadrunner issuing to each Seller the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock. The adjustments described in Section 1.03(f) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Roadrunner and the Sellers for any and all claims arising under this Agreement with respect to this Section 1.03 on the matters addressed herein.

Section 1.04 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages at (a) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day following the first date on which all of the conditions to the Transactions set forth in ARTICLE VIII have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver thereof at the Closing), but in no event earlier than the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof, or (b) any other time, date or place as is agreed in writing by each of Roadrunner and Coyote. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COYOTE

Except as set forth in the applicable section or sections of the disclosure schedule delivered by Coyote to Roadrunner prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Coyote Disclosure Schedule”), Coyote represents and warrants to Roadrunner as follows:

Section 3.01 Organization. Coyote is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of Delaware. Coyote has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to enable it to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business in all material respects as conducted on the date hereof and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder. Coyote is duly qualified or registered as a foreign limited liability company to transact business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration, except, in each case, where the failure to be so duly qualified or registered has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. True, correct and complete copies of the certificate of formation and the limited liability company agreement of Coyote, each as amended to date, have been made available to Roadrunner. Coyote is not in violation of its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement, except for any such violation as would not reasonably be expected to be material to Coyote and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 3.02 Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.

(a) Section 3.02(a) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Subsidiaries of Coyote, listing for each such Subsidiary its name, the type of entity, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, its authorized capital stock or equivalent, if applicable, the number and type of its issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, membership interests or similar ownership interests, the current ownership of such shares, membership interests or similar ownership interests and its current officers and directors, in each case, prior to giving effect to the Coyote Reorganization. Following the Coyote Reorganization, the information contained on Section 3.02(a) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule shall remain true and complete except as contemplated by the Coyote Reorganization. True, correct and complete copies of the organizational documents, each as amended to date, of each Subsidiary of Coyote have been made available to Roadrunner.

(b) Each Subsidiary of Coyote (i) is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to enable it to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business in all material respects as conducted on the date hereof and (iii) is duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or registered has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock, membership interests and/or other similar ownership interests of each Subsidiary of Coyote (“Subsidiary Equity Interests”) are owned, directly or indirectly, by Coyote, free and clear of any Lien and free of any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of capital stock, membership interests and/or other similar ownership interests) other than limitations or restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws or Liens that will be released upon repayment of the Coyote Existing Debt. There are no (i) outstanding securities of any Coyote Entity that are convertible into or exchangeable for Subsidiary Equity Interests, (ii) options, warrants, calls, subscriptions or other rights or arrangements to acquire any Subsidiary Equity Interests from any Coyote Entity or (iii) other obligations or commitments of any Coyote Entity to issue or allot Subsidiary Equity Interests.

Section 7.06 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties agree that, with respect to the Transactions, the following treatment is intended for U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and non-U.S.) income Tax purposes: (i) it is intended that the Contribution is integrated with the Merger and treated as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code whereby (A) the Tax Partnership shall be treated as the transferor of the Blocker Parent LLC Interests to New Pubco and the recipient of the Consideration and the Operating Expense Amount in exchange for the Blocker Parent LLC Interests, in each case, for purposes of Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (B) such receipt of the Consideration will be governed by Section 351(a) of the Code (and the receipt of the Operating Expense Amount shall be governed by Section 351(b) of the Code), and (ii) (A) it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (B) this Agreement is and is hereby adopted as a plan of reorganization with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), and (C) it is intended that, as to Roadrunner (and its direct and indirect owners and any holders of Warrants in Roadrunner), the receipt of New Pubco Common Stock and any warrants described in Section 2.04, in each case, pursuant to the Merger will be governed by Section 354 of the Code, and the receipt of any stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and any other form of incentive equity described in Section 2.03, in each case, pursuant to the Merger, will be governed, to the extent applicable, by Section 354 of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties acknowledge that the Tax Partnership and the Sellers (and their beneficial owners) intend to take the Tax reporting position that, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(8)(i) and PLR 201505001, with respect to any portion of Blocker Parent LLC Interests that are (1) contributed (directly or indirectly, including through the Tax Partnership) by Sellers to New Pubco pursuant to the Contribution and (2) Section 704(c) property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations

Section 1.704-3(a)(3)(i) and 1.704-3(a)(8)(i), the shares of New Pubco Common Stock that are received (directly or indirectly, including through the Tax Partnership) by Sellers in exchange for such contributed Section 704(c) property will be treated as separate “blocks” of shares of New Pubco Common Stock (the “Sellers’ Reporting Position”). New Pubco agrees that if it is required by applicable Law to provide Tax information to a Governmental Authority, broker, withholding agent or similar party with respect to the Tax basis or holding period of the shares of New Pubco Common Stock described in the previous sentence, New Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably cooperate with Sellers to provide such Tax information as is required that is consistent with the Sellers’ Reporting Position to the relevant Governmental Authority, broker, withholding agent or similar party. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, for this purpose, the Tax Partnership) to, report the Transactions consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a contrary final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law) or a change in applicable Law and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any action (or fail to take any action) that would, or that would be reasonably likely to, cause the exchanges not to so qualify; provided that, subject to the obligations of the Parties described in the subsequent sentence, for all purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 3.14 and Section 5.11), no action taken by a Party that is specifically contemplated by this Agreement (including the Coyote Reorganization (as may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement)) and the Transaction Agreements shall be considered an action that would, or that would be reasonably likely to, cause the exchanges not to so qualify. If any Party discovers, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, any fact that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Transactions from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, then (X) such Party shall, as soon as possible, notify the other Parties and (Y) the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and exercise their reasonable best efforts to effect the transactions contemplated hereby (or substantially similar transactions, as reasonably agreed to by the Parties) in a manner that would result in the Intended Tax Treatment or that would result in a Tax treatment no less favorable than the Intended Tax Treatment to the direct or indirect owners of the Coyote Entities and Roadrunner.

(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Parties will and will cause each of their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of New Pubco’s or any of the Coyote Entities’ Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes of New Pubco or any of the Coyote Entities in respect thereof (including in order to make a Push-Out Election). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions described in this Agreement shall be consummated pursuant to a single plan of combination.

(d) At the expense of New Pubco, New Pubco shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed by any Coyote Entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (collectively, “Coyote Tax Partnerships,” and each, a “Coyote Tax Partnership,” and such Tax Returns, the “Coyote Tax Returns”) that are due or otherwise to be filed after the Closing Date. All such Coyote Tax Returns shall be prepared by Deloitte Tax LLP (or such other firm as is mutually agreed) and shall be prepared, and any positions and elections relating thereto made, in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the prior practice of the applicable Coyote Tax Partnership to the extent such prior practice is permitted by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence. Prior to filing any Coyote Tax Return, New Pubco shall submit drafts of such Coyote Tax Returns to the Sellers for Sellers’ review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Sellers and New Pubco disagree regarding any items on such Coyote Tax Returns, such dispute shall be submitted promptly to the Accounting Firm for resolution in

If the Sellers and New Pubco disagree regarding any items on such Tax Returns, such dispute shall be submitted promptly to the Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.03, and such Tax Returns shall be filed reflecting the Accounting Firm’s resolution; provided that such resolution does not adversely impact the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment or the Intended Tax Treatment. If any such Tax Returns are required to be filed with an applicable Governmental Authority prior to resolution by the Accounting Firm, New Pubco may file such Tax Returns reflecting New Pubco’s proposed reporting positions (provided such positions do not adversely impact the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment or the Intended Tax Treatment), and New Pubco will file amended Tax Returns (or administrative adjustment requests) upon resolution by the Accounting Firm, as necessary. With respect to any relevant Tax Return, New Pubco will cause the taxable year including the Closing Date of NMC Blocker and Blocker Parent to end as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree and shall cooperate such that for any Pass-Through Income Tax Return of any Coyote Tax Partnership for a Straddle Period: (i) an election under Section 754 of the Code shall be made (if not already in effect), and (ii) distributive shares of such Coyote Tax Partnership’s taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction for any Straddle Period shall be reported using the interim closing method and the calendar day convention under Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4.

(l) Following the date hereof, Coyote may amend Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules with the prior written consent of Roadrunner (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, where, without limitation, withholding such consent shall be considered reasonable if such amendment could be reasonably expected to (1) have an adverse impact on Roadrunner (or any of its shareholders) or (2) cause (or be reasonably likely to cause) the Transactions to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to each of the statements of fact set forth in Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules regarding the Coyote Reorganization, including as to the ownership, activities, and U.S. federal income tax classification of the respective Persons referenced therein, being true and accurate in all material respects (but only to the extent such statements of fact being true and accurate in all material respects is necessary in order to support a particular element of the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment (as defined below) under applicable Law), New Pubco and Roadrunner agree to (and agree to cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) file all Tax Returns and take all Tax positions in a manner consistent with the Tax treatment set forth on Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules (the “Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment”), unless otherwise required by a contrary determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law).

(n) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to ensure that each holder of Class P Units of Coyote (each, a “Coyote Employee Holder”) shall timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code on or following the date of the consummation of the Second Merger with respect to the CoyCo 1 or CoyCo 2 equity interests, as applicable, issued in exchange for the Blocker Parent equity of such Coyote Employee Holders in connection with the Second Merger.

Closing Date under the similar Coyote Benefit Plan (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation with respect to the same period of service.

(c) New Pubco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) credit any expenses incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under Coyote Benefit Plans that are group health plans in which the Continuing Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing during the portion of the applicable plan year prior to the Closing toward satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under the analogous Buyer Benefit Plans that are group health plans for the plan year in which the Closing occurs; and (ii) waive any waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement, or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents under any Buyer Benefit Plan.

Roadrunner shall not adjourn or otherwise postpone or delay the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Coyote; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if on the date on which the Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, (i) there are insufficient shares of Roadrunner Common Stock represented (in person or by proxy) to obtain the Requisite Vote, whether or not a quorum is present or (ii) there are insufficient shares of Roadrunner Common

Stock represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting, Roadrunner may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Stockholders Meeting so as to allow reasonable additional time for solicitation of proxies for purposes of obtaining quorum or the Requisite Vote as long as the date of the Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments in reliance on the preceding sentence or (y) in consultation with Coyote, Roadrunner may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Stockholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplemental or amended disclosure is disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of Roadrunner prior to the Stockholders Meeting; provided, further, that if requested by Coyote in writing, Roadrunner shall effect up to two (2) adjournments or postponements of the Stockholders Meeting under the circumstances contemplated by clause (x) for a period of up to ten (10) Business Days each.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, prior to the time the Requisite Vote is obtained, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner may make a Change in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) an Intervening Event has occurred, (2) in light of such Intervening Event, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (3) Roadrunner has notified Coyote in writing that Roadrunner’s Board of Directors intends to take make a Change in Recommendation and the basis therefor (which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event in connection with which Roadrunner’s Board of Directors has given such notice) (any such notice, a “Triggering Notice”), (4) at least five (5) Business Days pass following Coyote’s receipt of the Triggering Notice (it being understood that any material change to the Intervening Event shall constitute a new Intervening Event and shall require Roadrunner to provide a new Triggering Notice in respect of such Intervening Event and comply with this Section 7.08(b) in respect of such Intervening Event, except that, in such case, the five (5) Business Day period referred to in this clause (4) and in clauses (5) and (6) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days following the giving of such new Triggering Notice), (5) after providing such Triggering Notice and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, (x) Roadrunner shall, during such five (5) Business Day period, negotiate in good faith with Coyote and its Representatives, to the extent Coyote wishes to negotiate, with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Coyote, and (y) in determining whether it may still under the terms of this Agreement make a Change in Recommendation, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Coyote and any other information provided by Coyote in response to such notice during such five (5) Business Day period and (6) such Intervening Event is continuing and, after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Coyote and any other information provided by Coyote in response to a Triggering Notice during such five (5) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner again determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, the proposal in respect of the Stock Issuance shall be

modifications thereto permitted by this Agreement, (iii) satisfy (or obtain waivers of) on a timely basis all conditions set forth in the Financing Commitment or Financing Agreements applicable to Roadrunner and its Subsidiaries to obtain the Financing and to the extent within its control, and (iv) upon satisfaction of such conditions and the other conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing (and in any event prior to the End Date). Subject to the terms hereof, Roadrunner shall furnish to Coyote correct and complete copies of any Financing Agreement or any Alternate Financing Commitment (as defined below) and, in each case, ancillary documents thereto.

(f) Without Coyote’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Roadrunner shall not agree to any termination, replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification or, or waive any of its rights under, the Financing Commitment or the Financing Agreements with respect to the Financing Commitment, if such termination, replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification would (any of the following being, a “Prohibited Amendment”) (w) reduce the amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Financing below an amount that, when combined with available cash of Roadrunner, is sufficient to fund the Required Amount, (x) impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand or modify any existing condition precedent to the funding of the Financing, (y) prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Contribution, the Financing or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (z) impact the ability of Roadrunner to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitment of the definitive agreements with respect thereto; provided that (x) Roadrunner may amend the Financing Commitment to (1) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, (2) in connection with an Alternate Financing Commitment, or (3) to the extent not otherwise constituting a Prohibited Amendment, and (y) the existence or exercise of any “flex” provisions in the Fee Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall not be prohibited, but only to the extent doing so would not impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand or modify any existing condition precedent to the receipt and availability of the Financing.

If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable (after giving effect to any other financing sources than available) on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Financing Commitment in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than as a result of the termination of the Financing Commitment on the End Date pursuant to the terms thereof) so as to reduce the amount of aggregate cash proceeds from the portion of the Financing that is still available below an amount that, when combined with available cash of Roadrunner, is sufficient to fund the Required Amount, Roadrunner shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternate financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing being replaced that is still available and available cash of Roadrunner, to fund the Required Amount and on terms and conditions that are not less favorable to Roadrunner, taken as a whole (taking into account any flex provisions), than those set forth in the Financing Commitment in effect on the date of this Agreement (“Alternate Financing” and the agreement that evidences such commitment, the “Alternate Financing Commitment”). Roadrunner shall, upon Coyote’s reasonable request from time to time, keep Coyote and its counsel reasonably informed of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing in reasonable detail. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” and “Financing Commitment” (other than Section 5.14) shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment on the date of this Agreement, as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 7.13, including any Alternate Financing Commitment.

(d) Orders; Laws. By either Roadrunner or Coyote upon delivery of written notice to the other if any Governmental Authority shall have issued or entered any final and non-appealable Order or enacted any Law which, in any such case, (i) permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) would prevent the Closing from occurring as contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the End Date.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any Affiliate, stockholder, member, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or Representative of such Party or its Affiliates); provided that, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve (a) Roadrunner from any obligation to pay, if applicable, the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 9.02(b) or (b) any Party from any liability for such Party’s willful and material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or for such Party’s actual Fraud. The provisions of Section 7.13(d), this Section 9.02, Section 9.04, ARTICLE X, ARTICLE XI and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken, or failed to be undertaken, by the breaching party with the knowledge that the taking of such act, or the failure to take such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a material breach of this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Coyote pursuant to Section 9.01(f)then Roadrunner shall, within two (2) Business Days after such termination (or if later, two (2) Business Days after Coyote delivers to Roadrunner invoices or other supporting documentation with respect to Coyote Transaction Expenses), pay to Coyote an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Coyote Transaction Expenses to the extent they are out-of-pocket fees and expenses (excluding internal expenses) and (ii) $10,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Coyote in writing (the “Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount”). If Roadrunner fails to pay the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount as set forth herein, Roadrunner shall also be liable for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Coyote, the Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with their collection efforts under this Section 9.02 to receive the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.02 are an integral part of this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge that the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount shall not constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Coyote and Seller in the circumstances in which the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The Parties further acknowledge that the right to receive the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount shall not limit or otherwise affect any such Party’s right to specific performance as provided in Section 9.04, provided that in no event shall Coyote or Seller be entitled to receive both specific performance and payment of the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting Coyote and Seller’s rights to specific performance as provided in Section 9.04, in any circumstance in which Coyote is paid the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount by Roadrunner pursuant to Section 9.02(b), the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount (together with any Enforcement Costs and Coyote’s and Seller’s rights to reimbursement and indemnification pursuant to Section 7.13(d)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Coyote, Seller and their respective former, current or future stockholders, partners, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future stockholder, partner, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Coyote Related Parties”) against Roadrunner, New Pubco, Merger Sub, any Financing Source, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future stockholders, partners, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future stockholder, partner, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Roadrunner Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or otherwise or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount (together with any Enforcement Costs and any obligations pursuant to Section 7.13(d)), none of the Roadrunner Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, except that nothing herein shall relieve Roadrunner, New Pubco or Merger Sub from liability for willful and material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination or for such Party’s actual Fraud.

Section 9.03 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties or (b) waive compliance with any

of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 9.04 Remedies. Each of the Parties shall have and retain all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including rights to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and that irreparable harm would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and shall be granted in connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving irreparable harm and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at Law. A Party’s right to specific performance and injunctive relief shall be in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to such Party. Notwithstanding anything the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party entitled to specific performance to cause the other Parties to consummate the Closing unless the Financing (or Alternate Financing) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing.

Section 10.03 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The phrases “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” shall be inclusive and not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which the subject extends and does not simply mean “if.” References to “dollars” or “$” are references to U.S. dollars. The meaning assigned to each capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, each of its other grammatical forms has a corresponding meaning. All terms defined in this Agreement will have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant to this Agreement unless otherwise defined in such certificate or document. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. A reference to any specific legislation or to any provision of any legislation includes any amendment to, and any modification, re-enactment or successor thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto, except that, for purposes of any representations and warranties in this Agreement that are made as a specific date, references to any specific legislation will be deemed to refer to such legislation or provision (and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto) as of such date. References to any Contract are to that Contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during, and have participated jointly in, the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, they waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 10.04 Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Coyote Entities have set forth certain information in the Coyote Disclosure Schedule in a section thereof that corresponds to the Section or portion of a Section of this Agreement to which it relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a matter set forth in one section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule so long as its relevance to such other section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule or Section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed in such Coyote Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Coyote Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a matter set forth in one section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule so long as its relevance to such other section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule or Section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed in such Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.

(c) The information contained in this Agreement, in the Coyote Disclosure Schedule and in the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third Person of any matter whatsoever, including (i) any violation of Law or breach of contractual obligation or (ii)  that such information is material or required to be provided or disclosed under this Agreement.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other terms, conditions 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 shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible and in a manner so as to as closely as possible provide the Parties with the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, set forth in any such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.06 Counterparts.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (including the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, including the Coyote Disclosure Schedules and the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedules) (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, other than the Confidentiality Agreement which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) except as provided in Section 7.14 (which is intended for the benefit of only the Persons specifically named therein) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Financing Sources shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.07(b), Section 7.13(g), Section 9.02(d), the final sentence of Section 10.08, Section 10.11 and Section 10.12(c).

The indemnification obligations of the Investors hereunder shall be several, not joint and several, between such Investors. In no event shall the liability of any Investor hereunder be greater in amount and proportion than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense in such proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such defense; provided that any such notice or other communication pursuant to this Section 8 between the Company and an Indemnifying Party or an Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall be delivered to or by, as the case may be, the applicable Investor; provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Section 8, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate because of an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 8).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), as the case may be, or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless as contemplated

therein, then the 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 losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any Investor hereunder be greater in amount and proportion than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor giving rise to such contribution obligation. No Indemnified Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from an Indemnifying Party not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 9. Market Stand-Off Agreement; Agreement to Furnish Information.

(a) Each Investor agrees that it will not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any new hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale with respect to, any Common Stock (or other securities of the Company) held by such Investor (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representatives of the book-running managing underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock) not to exceed ten (10) days prior and ninety (90) days following any registered public sale of securities by the Company in which the Company gave such Investor an opportunity to participate in accordance with Section 3; provided that executive officers and directors of the Company and each other Investor enters into similar agreements and only as long as such Persons remain subject to such agreement (and are not fully released from such agreement) for such period. Each Investor agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the representatives of the underwriters which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(b) In addition, if requested by the Company or the book-running managing underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock), each Investor shall provide such information regarding such Investor and its respective Registrable Securities as may be reasonably required by the Company or such representative of the book-running managing underwriters in connection with the filing of a registration statement and the completion of any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 9, pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, LifePoint shall not be bound by or required to comply with this Section 9 if LifePoint chooses not to participate in the applicable registered public sale of Securities by the Company.

Section 10. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to each Investor the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities that are Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of this Agreement; (ii) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) so long as any Investor owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Investor forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting

requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as such Investor may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such Common Stock without registration.

The parties further agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11(c) and each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 11(c), (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from 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) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereby consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 11(g) and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid) to the respective addresses set forth in Section 11(g) shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties; provided, however, that the rights of each Investor under this Agreement shall not be assignable to any Person without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, further, however, that in the event that any Permitted Transferee acquires any Registrable Securities, such Permitted Transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Permitted Transferee shall be treated as an “Investor” for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of, this Agreement.

(h) Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any breach or default, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default.

To the extent required by applicable listing standards (including any requirements for initial listing), Investor Designees shall include a number of persons that qualify as “independent” directors as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or other United States national securities exchange that the Common Stock is listed upon, if any) and applicable law such that, together with any other “independent” directors then serving on the Board that are not Investor Designees, the Board is comprised of at least a majority of “independent” directors. The Company shall, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in Section 2.1(b), nominate the Investor Designees for election to the Board and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Investor Designees to be elected as directors of the Board.

(b) Any Investor Designee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Governance Committee”). The Company shall require that all directors comply in all respects with applicable law (including with respect to confidentiality) and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, code of business conduct and ethics and confidentiality and trading policies and guidelines as in effect from time to time. The Investor shall notify the Company of any proposed Investor Designee in writing no later than the latest date on which shareholders of the Company may make nominations to the Board in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company in effect on the date hereof (as they may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”), together with all information concerning such nominee required to be delivered to the Company by the Bylaws and such other information reasonably requested by the Company; provided that in each such case, all such information is generally required to be delivered to the Company by the other outside directors of the Company (the “Nominee Disclosure Information”); provided, further that in the event the Investor fails to provide any such notice, the Investor Designee shall be the person then serving as the Investor Designee as long as the Investor provides the Nominee Disclosure Information to the Company promptly upon request by the Company.

(c) In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of an Investor Designee, the Board will promptly elect to the Board a replacement director designated by the Investor, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in Section 2.1(b), to fill the resulting vacancy, and such individual shall then be deemed an Investor Designee for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d) For so long as the Investor has rights under this Section 2.1, the Company will not amend or waive the provisions of Section 3 of the CoyCo IRA.

If an Investor Designee fails to satisfy the applicable qualifications under law or stock exchange listing standard to sit on any committee of the Board, then the Board shall offer such Investor Designee the opportunity to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor may select different Investor Designees for different committees.

For so long as the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance, the Company shall include each Investor Designee as an “insured” for all purposes under such insurance policy for so long as such Investor Designee is a director of the Company and for the same period as for other former directors of the Company when such Investor Designee ceases to be a director of the Company.

Section 6.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board decides to engage in a process that could give rise to a change of control of the Company, the Company shall invite the Investor to participate in such process on the terms and conditions generally made available to the other participants in such process; provided, however, that in the event the Investor participates in such process, each Investor Designee shall recuse himself or herself from voting on, or otherwise receiving any confidential information regarding, matters in connection with the process; provided, further, however, that, following the termination of the Investor’s participation in any process, the Investor’s right to vote on, and receive confidential information about, the process shall be reinstated.

After the date hereof,

 

  (1)

for so long as the Ownership Threshold is met the Investors shall be entitled to nominate three (3) members to the Board,

 

  (2)

for so long as the Ownership Threshold is not met but the Investors’ Ownership Percentage exceeds 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Investors shall be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) two (2) directors, and

To be a number of shares equal to 75% of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Investors pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.

 

D-2


Table of Contents
  (3)

for so long as the Investors’ Ownership Percentage is in the aggregate at least 5% but less than 10% of the Diluted Common Shares, then the Investors shall be entitled to nominate the greater of (x) such number of individuals to the Board in relative proportion to the Ownership Percentage (rounded down) and (y) one (1) director (each, an Investor Designee,” and collectively, the “Investor Designees”).

For so long as the Ownership Threshold is met, (i) one Investor Designee shall be unaffiliated with NMC and (ii) two Investor Designees (which, for the avoidance of doubt, can include the Investor Designee described in clause (i)) shall qualify as “independent” directors as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or other United States national securities exchange that the Common Stock is listed upon, if any) and applicable law. The Company shall, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in Section 2.1(b), nominate the Investor Designees for election to the Board and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Investor Designees to be elected as directors of the Board.

 

  (b)

Any Investor Designee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Governance Committee”), it being understood that the individuals named in Section 2.1(a) are acceptable. The Company shall require that all directors comply in all respects with applicable law (including with respect to confidentiality) and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, code of business conduct and ethics and confidentiality and trading policies and guidelines as in effect from time to time. The Investors shall notify the Company of any proposed Investor Designee in writing no later than the latest date on which shareholders of the Company may make nominations to the Board in accordance with the Bylaws, together with all information concerning such nominee required to be delivered to the Company by the Bylaws and such other information reasonably requested by the Company; provided, that in each such case, all such information is generally required to be delivered to the Company by the other outside directors of the Company (the “Nominee Disclosure Information”); provided, further, that in the event the Investors fail to provide any such notice, the Investor Designee shall be the person then serving as the Investor Designee as long as the Investors provide the Nominee Disclosure Information to the Company promptly upon request by the Company.

 

  (c)

In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of an Investor Designee, the Board will promptly elect to the Board a replacement director designated by the Investors, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), to fill the resulting vacancy, and such individual shall then be deemed an Investor Designee for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

  (d)

For so long as the Investors have rights under this Section 2.1, the Company will not amend or waive the provisions of Section 3 of the TCP/AS IRA.

2.2. Committee Membership. After the date hereof, and subject to applicable law and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or other United States national securities exchange that the Common Stock is listed upon, if any), the Company will offer one Investor Designee (to be selected by the Investors) an opportunity to, at the Investors’ option, either sit on each regular committee of the Board or attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. If an Investor Designee fails to satisfy the applicable qualifications under law or stock exchange listing standard to sit on any committee of the Board, then the Board shall offer such Investor Designee the opportunity to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investors may select different Investor Designees for different committees.

2.3. Compensation and Benefits. Each of the Investor Designees will be entitled to receive similar compensation, benefits, reimbursement (including of travel expenses), indemnification and insurance coverage for their service as directors as the other outside directors of the Company; provided, that the Investors (on behalf of any Investor Designee) or any Investor Designee may elect to waive, in their, his or her discretion, all or any

portion of the foregoing entitlements.2 For so long as the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance, the Company shall include each Investor Designee as an “insured” for all purposes under such insurance policy for so long as such Investor Designee is a director of the Company and for the same period as for other former directors of the Company when such Investor Designee ceases to be a director of the Company.

 

  2.4.

  (4)

in the event that any Investor LP (or any beneficial owner thereof) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, NMC and its Affiliates including its affiliated investment funds) is required to pay income taxes as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (including the Coyote Reorganization (as defined therein)), to such Investor LP a number of shares of

  (5)

in any Pro Rata Transaction.

For purpose of this Agreement, a “Pro Rata Transaction” shall mean any transaction in which all shareholders (x) are offered pro rata tag along rights on terms substantially similar to those given to the Investors and (y) are entitled to receive consideration of equal market value (on a per share, as-converted or exercised basis).

  4.5.

In connection with any distribution of Common Stock to an Investor LP pursuant to Section 4.4(3), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether any certificates or book-entry interests evidencing such shares of Common Stock should include any legend as may be required under, and are otherwise distributed in compliance with, all applicable securities laws, including imposing any transfer restrictions for such period of time as may be required to ensure that any subsequent disposition by an Investor LP of such Common Stock is made in compliance with such laws.

 

  4.6.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Investor (including any Investor Affiliate who signs a joinder agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(1)) agrees that it will not tender, sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock received in a transfer pursuant to Section 4.4(4)) in connection with any tender offer by the Company for shares of Common Stock from the date of this Agreement until [•]6, 2023; provided, that the purchase price in such tender offer(s) does not exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate. In addition, each Investor agrees that (i) it will take any actions reasonably requested by the Company in support of the Pre-Approved Tender Offers, (ii) its approval rights set forth in clause (5) of Section 2.4(a) shall not apply with respect to the Approved Tender Offers and (iii) its approval rights set forth in clause (3) of Section 2.4(a) shall not apply with respect to the Approved Tender Offers or the incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or its subsidiaries to finance the Approved Tender Offers in an amount up to $500 million in the aggregate with respect to the Pre-Approved Tender Offers and (without duplication) $1.0 billion in the aggregate with respect to the Approved Tender Offers.

 

Section

5. Preemptive Rights.

 

  5.1.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5, each Investor has the right to purchase from the Company an amount of any New Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue and sell up to such Investor’s pro rata portion (as determined by the Investors) of the Ownership Percentage (calculated as of the date of delivery of such Notice of Issuance) to the extent such New Securities are actually issued.

 

  5.2.

In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities (a “Notice of Issuance”).

On or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, each Investor shall deliver a written notice to the Company stating the quantity of New Securities to be purchased by such Investor (an “Investor Response”), which written notice shall be binding on the Company and such Investor subject only to the completion of the issuance of New Securities described in the applicable Notice of Issuance.

2.2. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder may Transfer any or all Covered Shares to any Affiliate of the Stockholder only if, prior to and as a condition to effectuating any such Transfer, the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes and delivers to Coyote a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Coyote memorializing such agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Roadrunner will not register or otherwise recognize the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Covered Shares or any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Stockholder’s Covered Shares, except as permitted by, and in accordance with, this Section 2.2.

3. Agreement to Vote the Covered Shares.

3.1. Voting Agreement.

3.2. Quorum.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time, a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction enters an order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Stockholder or its Affiliates from taking any action that would be required pursuant to this Section 3, then (i) the applicable obligations of the Stockholder set forth in this Section 3 shall be of no force and effect for so long as such order is in effect to the extent such order restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits such Stockholder from taking any such action, and (ii) the Stockholder shall cause the Covered Shares not to be represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a vote of the Stockholder on the Covered Proposals is sought or requested.

5. No Agreement as Director or Officer. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of the Owned Shares. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way, or shall require the Stockholder to attempt to, limit or affect any actions taken by any employee, officer, director (or person performing similar functions), partner or other Affiliate (including, for this purpose, any appointee, designee or representative of the Stockholder to the board of directors of Roadrunner) of the Stockholder, solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Roadrunner (or a Roadrunner Subsidiary) or other fiduciary capacity for the Stockholder. No action taken (or omitted to be taken) in any such capacity as a director or officer (including to comply with such director’s or officer’s fiduciary obligations) shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

10.5. Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any

 

E-7


Table of Contents

federal court within the District of Delaware and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or Proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such Federal court. Each Party agrees that (i) this Agreement involves at least $100,000.00 and (ii) this Agreement has been entered into by the Parties in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Any judgment from any such court described above may, however, be enforced by any Party in any other court in any other jurisdiction.

b. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THEREBY OR BY THE FINANCING COMMITMENT (INCLUDING IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE). EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.5.

10.6. Documentation and Information. The Stockholder consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Roadrunner, New Pubco and Coyote of the Stockholder’s identity and holding of the Covered Shares, and the terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement), in any press release, the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and any other disclosure document required in connection with the Transaction Agreement (the “Public Documents”), the Stock Issuance and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. Roadrunner and Coyote consent to and authorize the publication and disclosure by the Stockholder of the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement) in any Schedule 13D amendment filed by the Stockholder.

10.7. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees, from time to time, at the reasonable request of the other Party and without further consideration, to execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonable required to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.8. Stop Transfer Instructions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby authorizes Roadrunner or its counsel to notify Roadrunner’s transfer agent, and Roadrunner shall notify the transfer agent that, that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Covered Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Covered Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by New Pubco following the Expiration Time.

10.9. Enforcement; Exclusive Remedy; 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 Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement without the posting of a bond or undertaking in connection with such remedy and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties hereby waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and any other objections to specific performance of this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties that, to

 

E-8


Table of Contents

the extent possible, unless provisions are mutually exclusive and effect cannot be given to both or all such provisions, the representations, warranties, and covenants in this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative and that each representation, warranty, and covenant in this Agreement will be given full, separate and independent effect and nothing set forth in any provision herein will in any way be deemed to limit the scope, applicability or effect of any other provision hereof. The Parties hereby agree that the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Roadrunner hereby agrees that the right of specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches or threatened breaches by the Stockholder in connection with this Agreement, and neither Roadrunner nor any of its Affiliates may pursue or accept any other form of relief (including monetary damages or reimbursement, whether in law or equity) that may be available for breach of this Agreement.

10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of any Party or the obligations of any Party under any other agreement between or among one or more of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to amend, alter or modify, in any respect, any of the provisions of the Transaction Agreement, the Warrant, the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2016, by and among Roadrunner, the Stockholder and the other parties thereto, as amended, or the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2016, by and between Roadrunner and the Stockholder.

10.11. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limiting the generality of the foregoing”. When used in this Agreement, the term “or” shall be construed in the inclusive sense of “and/or”. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, drafting, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

10.12. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any Party without the prior written consent of both of the other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

10.13. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.14. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or

 

E-9


Table of Contents

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. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

10.15. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

10.16. Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.16 shall not limit any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that by its terms is to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement.

10.17. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action by any of the Parties hereto and shall have no further force or effect as of the earlier to occur of (a) the Expiration Time and (b) the entry, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder, into any amendment, waiver, modification or other change to any provision of the Transaction Agreement (including any exhibits, annexes or schedules thereto) that (A) results in a change in the consideration that would be payable to any holder of equity interests in Roadrunner or changes the mix of the consideration that would be payable in respect of such equity interests or (B) is otherwise adverse in any material respect to the Stockholder; provided that the provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive any such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any Party from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against any other Party for that Party’s breach of any of the terms of this Agreement prior to the date of termination in accordance with this Section 10.17.

The Board of Directors R1

RCM Inc.

401 North Michigan Avenue Chicago,

IL 60611

The Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to R1 RCM Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Roadrunner”), of the Consideration (as defined below) proposed to be paid for the Blocker Parent LLC Interests (as defined below) pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) proposed to be entered into by and among Roadrunner, Project Roadrunner Parent, Inc. a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Roadrunner (“New PubCo”), Project Roadrunner Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Revint Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Coyote”), Coyco 1, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Coyco 2, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Sellers”). The Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Roadrunner, with Roadrunner surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo and (b) the contribution by the Sellers to New PubCo of all of the Sellers’ limited liability company interests in NMC Revint Blocker Parent LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker Parent”, and such limited liability company interests, the “Blocker Parent LLC Interests”) (which following a pre-closing reorganization, will own Coyote), in exchange for the issuance to the Sellers of 138,400,874 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of New PubCo (the “Consideration”), subject to certain adjustments (as to which we express no opinion) as set forth in the Agreement (the “Transaction”). The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of Roadrunner in connection with the Transaction. We will receive a fee for our services in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which is payable upon the rendering of this opinion and a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, Roadrunner has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement.

We are a securities firm engaged directly and through affiliates and related persons in a number of investment banking, financial advisory and merchant banking activities. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services to Roadrunner, including in connection with Roadrunner’s acquisition of VisitPay in 2021, its conversion agreement with Ascension Health Alliance (“Ascension”) and TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. (“TowerBrook”) in 2021, its acquisition of SCI Solutions in 2020 and its purchase of Cerner’s RevWorks in 2020, and we have received compensation from Roadrunner for such services. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services to a portfolio company of Ascension Health Alliance and TowerBrook, affiliates of which collectively own over 50% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of Roadrunner, and we may receive compensation in the future for such services. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services unrelated to Coyote or the Sellers to J. Jill, Inc. (“J. Jill”), a portfolio company of TowerBrook, in connection with J. Jill’s transaction support agreement with over 70% of its term loan lenders and a majority of its equity shareholders, and we have received compensation from J. Jill for such services during such period. In the past two years, we have not been engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to Coyote or the Sellers, and we have not received any

compensation from Coyote or the Sellers during such period. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services to New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. (“Sponsor”), the sponsor of Coyote, or Sponsor’s affiliates, including in connection with a strategic matter involving one of Sponsor’s portfolio companies in 2021 and the sale of 20% of Blue Yonder Holding, Inc. (formerly JDA Software) to Panasonic Corporation in 2020, and we have received compensation from Sponsor for such services. We may provide financial advisory and other services to or with respect to Roadrunner, Ascension, TowerBrook, New PubCo, Coyote, the Sellers, Sponsor or their respective affiliates and portfolio companies of Sponsor or TowerBrook in the future, for which we may receive compensation. Certain (i) of our and our affiliates’ directors, officers, members and employees, or family members of such persons, (ii) of our affiliates or related investment funds and (iii) investment funds or other persons in which any of the foregoing may have financial interests or with which they may co-invest, may at any time acquire, hold, sell or trade, in debt, equity and other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of, or investments in, Roadrunner, Ascension, TowerBrook, New PubCo, Coyote, the Sellers, Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates, including portfolio companies of Sponsor or TowerBrook, or any other party that may be involved in the Transaction

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated January 9, 2022 (the “Draft Agreement”); (ii) a draft of the Financing Commitment (as defined in the Agreement) dated January 9, 2022 (the “Draft Financing Commitment”), (iii) audited consolidated financial statements of Revint II (as defined in the Agreement) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 furnished to us by the Sellers, (iv) unaudited consolidated financial statements of Revint II for the 9-month period ended September 30, 2021 furnished to us by the Sellers, (v) Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Roadrunner for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018; (vi) certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Roadrunner; (vii) certain publicly available research analyst reports for Roadrunner; (viii) certain other communications from Roadrunner to its stockholders; (ix) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Coyote prepared by management of Coyote and furnished to us by Roadrunner for purposes of our analysis (collectively, the “Coyote Internal Data”); (x) certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to Coyote provided by management of Coyote as adjusted by management of Roadrunner and furnished to us by Roadrunner for purposes of our analysis (as so adjusted, the “Coyote Forecasts”); (xi) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Roadrunner, including certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to the Roadrunner prepared by management of Roadrunner and furnished to us by Roadrunner for purposes of our analysis (the “Roadrunner Forecasts”) (collectively, the “Roadrunner Internal Data”) and (xii) certain cost savings and operating synergies projected by the management of the Roadrunner to result from the Transaction furnished to us by Roadrunner for purposes of our analysis (the “Synergies”). We have participated in discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of Roadrunner and Coyote regarding their assessment of the Coyote Internal Data, the Coyote Forecasts and the Roadrunner Internal Data (including the Roadrunner Forecasts) and the Synergies, as appropriate, and we have conducted discussions with members of the senior management of the Roadrunner regarding the strategic rationale for the Transaction. In addition, we reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data, including valuation multiples, for Roadrunner and certain financial data for Coyote and compared that data with similar data for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded, in lines of business that we deemed relevant.

We have assumed, without independent verification or any responsibility therefor, the accuracy and completeness of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information supplied to, discussed with, or reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion and have, with your consent, relied upon such information as being complete and accurate. In that regard, we have assumed, at your direction, that the Coyote Internal Data have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the

management of Coyote as to the matters covered thereby and that the Roadrunner Internal Data (including, without limitation, the Roadrunner Forecasts), the Coyote Forecasts and the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Roadrunner as to the matters covered thereby, and we have relied, at your direction, on the Coyote Internal Data, the Coyote Forecasts, the Roadrunner Internal Data (including the Roadrunner Forecasts) and the Synergies for purposes of our analysis and this opinion. We express no view or opinion as to the Coyote Internal Data, the Coyote Forecasts, the Roadrunner Internal Data (including the Roadrunner Forecasts) or the Synergies or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, at your direction, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off balance-sheet or otherwise) of Roadrunner or Coyote, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, and we have not been asked to conduct, and did not conduct, a physical inspection of the properties or assets of Roadrunner or Coyote. We have assumed, at your direction, that (i) the final executed Agreement and Financing Commitment will not differ in any respect material to our analysis or this opinion from the Draft Agreement and Draft Financing Commitment, respectively, reviewed by us, (ii) the representations and warranties made by Roadrunner, Coyote and the Sellers in the Agreement and related agreements are and will be true and correct in all respects material to our analysis, and (iii) there will be no adjustments to the Consideration pursuant to the Agreement that would be material to our analysis or this opinion, and (iv) that the debt financing to be incurred by Roadrunner or New PubCo in connection with the Transaction will be obtained on terms no less favorable to Roadrunner or New PubCo, as applicable, than the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters. We have also assumed, at your direction, that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement and in accordance with all applicable laws and other relevant documents or requirements, without delay or the waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction, condition or other change, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion. We have also assumed that the Transaction will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to us by, representatives of Roadrunner. We have not evaluated and do not express any opinion as to the solvency or fair value of Roadrunner, Coyote, New PubCo, the Sellers or any other person, or the ability of the Roadrunner or such other person to pay its respective obligations when they come due, or as to the impact of the Transaction on such matters, under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting advisors, and we express no opinion as to any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The following subparagraphs briefly describe indemnification provisions for directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant against liability, including liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The registrant has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering certain liabilities incurred by the directors and officers of the registrant in connection with the performance of their respective duties.

Delaware Corporations

Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a third party (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against expenses incurred in any action, suit or proceeding. Each of the Certificates of Incorporation of R1 RCM Inc. and R1 RCM Holdco Inc. allows for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (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 (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Certificates of Incorporation of R1 RCM Inc. and R1 RCM Holdco Inc. contain such a provision.

Item 22.

Undertakings

 

(a)

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.

 

(b)

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act 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 of 1933, 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)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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 it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d)

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 this registration statement when it became effective.
