On March 14, 2019 we entered into a definitive merger agreement with the shareholder of Option Care Enterprises, Inc. (“Option Care”), the nation’s largest independent provider of home and alternate treatment site infusion therapy services. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company will issue new shares of its common stock to Option Care’s shareholder in a non-taxable exchange, which will result in BioScrip shareholders holding approximately 20% of the combined company. The shareholder of Option Care has secured committed financing, the proceeds of which will be used to retire the Company’s First Lien Note Facility, Second Lien Note Facility and 2021 Notes at the close of the transaction.  Following the close of the transaction, the combined company common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market. The transaction is currently expected to close by the end of 2019.
