Credit Facility

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CHS, has senior secured financing under a credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Credit Suisse, as administrative agent and collateral agent. In connection with the HMA merger, the Company and CHS entered into a third amendment and restatement of its credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), providing for additional financing and recapitalization of certain of the Company’s term loans, including (i) the replacement of the revolving credit facility with a new $1.0 billion revolving facility maturing in 2019 (the “Revolving Facility”), (ii) the addition of a new $1.0 billion Term A facility due 2019 (the “Term A Facility”), (iii) a Term D facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.6 billion due 2021 (which included certain term C loans that were converted into such Term D facility (collectively, the “Term D Facility”)), (iv) the conversion of certain term C loans into Term E Loans and the borrowing of new Term E Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.7 billion due 2017 and (v) the addition of flexibility commensurate with the Company’s post-acquisition structure. In addition to funding a portion of the consideration in connection with the HMA merger, some of the proceeds of the Term A Facility and Term D Facility were used to refinance the outstanding $637 million existing term A facility due 2016 and the $60 million of term B loans due 2014, respectively. The Revolving Facility includes a subfacility for letters of credit.

On March 9, 2015, CHS entered into Amendment No. 1 and Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement to refinance the existing Term E Loans due 2017 into Term F Loans due 2018, in an original aggregated principal amount of $1.7 billion (the “Term F Facility”). On May 18, 2015, CHS entered into an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement to provide for a new $1.6 billion incremental Term G facility due 2019 (the “Term G Facility”) and a new approximately $2.9 billion incremental Term H facility due 2021 (the “Term H Facility”). The proceeds of the Term G Facility and Term H Facility were used to repay the Company’s existing Term D Facility in full. Pursuant to a special distribution paid by QHC to the Company as part of the series of transactions to complete the spin-off, the Company received approximately $1.2 billion in cash generated from the net proceeds of certain financing arrangements entered into by QHC as part of the separation. On April 29, 2016, using part of the cash generated from the QHC spin-off, the Company repaid approximately $190 million of its Term F Facility. On December 5, 2016, CHS entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 2”) to adjust financial maintenance covenants in the Credit Facility. In connection with Amendment No. 2, the Company agreed to certain other additional undertakings for the benefit of the lenders under the Revolving Facility and the Term A Facility.

On December 30, 2016, using the cash generated from the sale of a majority ownership in the Company’s home care division and from the completion of the sale-lease back transaction for ten of the Company’s owned medical office buildings, the Company repaid approximately $48 million of the Term F Facility, approximately $26 million of the Term A Facility, approximately $52 million of the Term G Facility and $96 million of the Term H Facility. On March 16, 2017, CHS issued a $2.2 billion aggregate principal 6¼% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “6¼% Senior Secured Notes”), a portion of the net proceeds of which was used to repay the Company’s existing Term F Facility in full. On May 4, 2017, using the cash generated from the hospital divestiture transactions completed on May 1, 2017, CHS repaid approximately $39 million of the Term A Facility, approximately $75 million of the Term G Facility and $147 million of the Term H Facility. On May 12, 2017, CHS completed a tack-on offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6¼% Senior Secured Notes, a portion of the net proceeds of which was used to repay the Company’s existing Term A Facility in full. The tack-on offering increased the total aggregate principal amount of 6¼% Senior Secured Notes to $3.1 billion.

On May 30, 2017, CHS entered into a Loan Modification Agreement to the Credit Facility (“Loan Modification Agreement”) to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility. Following the Loan Modification Agreement, CHS has Revolving Facility commitments through January 27, 2019 of approximately $929 million, of which a $739 million portion represents extended commitments maturing January 27, 2021. In connection with the Loan Modification Agreement, the financial maintenance covenants in the Credit Facility were further adjusted and CHS agreed to certain other additional undertakings for the benefit of the extending Revolving Facility lenders.

On June 30, 2017, using a portion of the cash generated from the July 1, 2017 hospital divestitures that preliminarily closed on June 30, 2017, CHS repaid approximately $122 million of the Term G Facility and $225 million of the Term H Facility.

The loans under the Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at CHS’ option, either (a) an Alternate Base Rate (as defined) determined by reference to the greater of (1) the Prime Rate (as defined) announced by Credit Suisse or (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined) plus 0.50% or (3) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on such day for a three-month interest period commencing on the second business day after such day plus 1% or (b) LIBOR. In addition, the margin in respect of the Revolving Facility will be subject to adjustment determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid. Loans in respect of the Revolving Facility currently accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, and Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%, in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings. The Term G Loan and Term H Loan will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and 3.00%, respectively, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, and Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75% and 2.00%, respectively, in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings. The Term G Loan and the Term H Loan are subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor and a 2.00% Alternate Base Rate floor.

Under the Term H Facility, CHS is required to make amortization payments in aggregate amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Term H Facility each year. As of December 31, 2016, no additional amortization payments were required to be made under the Term G Facility.

The term loan facility must be prepaid in an amount equal to (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and dispositions by the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights (provided that, in connection with the Loan Modification Agreement, CHS agreed with the extending lenders under the Revolving Facility not to exercise such reinvestment rights with respect to certain announced divestitures), (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of certain debt obligations or receivables-based financing by the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and (3) 50%, subject to reduction to a lower percentage based on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility generally as the ratio of total debt on the date of determination to the Company’s EBITDA, as defined, for the four quarters most recently ended prior to such date), of excess cash flow (as defined) for any year, subject to certain exceptions. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions are permitted in whole or in part, without any premium or penalty, subject to minimum prepayment or reduction requirements.

The borrower under the Credit Facility is CHS. All of the obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of its existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Facility and the related guarantees are secured by a perfected first priority lien or security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, CHS and each subsidiary guarantor, including equity interests held by the Company, CHS or any subsidiary guarantor, but excluding, among others, the equity interests of non-significant subsidiaries, syndication subsidiaries, securitization subsidiaries and joint venture subsidiaries. Such assets constitute substantially the same assets, subject to certain exceptions, that secure CHS’ obligations under the 2021 Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) and the 6¼% Senior Secured Notes.

CHS has agreed to pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable percentage then in effect with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility times the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit outstanding under the subfacility for letters of credit. The issuer of any letter of credit issued under the subfacility for letters of credit will also receive a customary fronting fee and other customary processing charges. CHS is obligated to pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum (subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s leverage ratio) on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things (1) declare dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, (2) prepay, redeem or repurchase other debt, (3) incur liens or grant negative pledges, (4) make loans and investments and enter into acquisitions and joint ventures, (5) incur additional indebtedness or provide certain guarantees, (6) make capital expenditures, (7) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (8) conduct transactions with affiliates, (9) alter the nature of the Company’s businesses, (10) grant certain guarantees with respect to physician practices, (11) engage in sale and leaseback transactions or (12) change the Company’s fiscal year. The Company is also required to comply with specified financial covenants (consisting of a maximum secured net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio) and various affirmative covenants. Under the Credit Facility, the secured net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of total secured debt, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, and the interest coverage ratio is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, to consolidated interest expense for the period. The calculation of consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Credit Facility is a trailing 12-month calculation that begins with net income attributable to the Company, with certain pro forma adjustments to consider the impact of material acquisitions or divestitures, and adjustments for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, stock compensation expense, restructuring costs, and the financial impact of other non-cash or non-recurring items recorded during any such 12-month period. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2017, the secured net leverage ratio financial covenant in the Credit Facility limited the ratio of secured debt to EBITDA, as defined, to less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00. The secured net leverage ratio financial covenant will decrease to 4.25 to 1.00 for the period January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, then to 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2017, the interest coverage ratio financial covenant in the Credit Facility required the ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined, to consolidated interest expense to be greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00, which will increase to 2.00 to 1.00 on January 1, 2018 (and for all periods thereafter). The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at June 30, 2017, with a secured net leverage ratio of approximately 3.82 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio of approximately 2.36 to 1.00.

Events of default under the Credit Facility include, but are not limited to, (1) CHS’ failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the credit agreement when due (taking into account any applicable grace period), (2) any representation or warranty proving to have been materially incorrect when made, (3) covenant defaults subject, with respect to certain covenants, to an available cure through the issuance of qualified equity for a period of 60 days after the end of the first three quarters and 100 days after a year end, (4) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (5) a cross default to certain other debt, (6) certain undischarged judgments (not paid within an applicable grace period), (7) a change of control (as defined), (8) certain ERISA-related defaults and (9) the invalidity or impairment of specified security interests, guarantees or subordination provisions in favor of the administrative agent or lenders under the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2017, the availability for additional borrowings under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Credit Facility, was approximately $929 million pursuant to the Revolving Facility (which amount shall reduce to $739 million on January 27, 2019), of which $71 million is in the form of outstanding letters of credit. CHS has the ability to amend the Credit Facility to provide for one or more tranches of term loans or increases in the Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5 billion, only $750 million of which is effectively available because of the Company’s additional undertakings in connection with Amendment No. 2. As of June 30, 2017, the weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Facility, excluding swaps, was 6.3%.

8% Senior Notes due 2019

On November 22, 2011, CHS completed a private offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “8% Senior Notes”).

On March 21, 2012, CHS completed an offering of an additional $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Notes, which were issued in a private placement (at a premium of 102.5%). The net proceeds from this issuance were used to finance the purchase of approximately $850 million aggregate principal amount of CHS’ then outstanding 8⅞% Senior Notes due 2015, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The 8% Senior Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. Interest on the 8% Senior Notes accrues from the date of original issuance.

References to the 8% Senior Notes shall also be deemed to include the 8% Exchange Notes unless the context provides otherwise.

The 2018 Senior Secured Notes bore interest at 5.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on August 15 and February 15. The 2018 Senior Secured Notes were secured by a first-priority lien subject to a shared lien of equal priority with certain other obligations, including obligations under the Credit Facility and the 2021 Senior Secured Notes, and subject to prior ranking liens permitted by the indenture governing the 2018 Senior Secured Notes on substantially the same assets, subject to certain exceptions, that secure CHS’ obligations under the Credit Facility and the 2021 Senior Secured Notes.

Receivables Facility

On March 21, 2012, through certain of its subsidiaries, CHS entered into an accounts receivable loan agreement (the “Receivables Facility”) with a group of lenders and banks, Credit Agricolé Corporate and Investment Bank, as a managing agent and as the administrative agent, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as a managing agent. On March 7, 2013, CHS and certain of its subsidiaries amended the Receivables Facility to add an additional managing agent, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., to increase the size of the facility from $300 million to $500 million and to extend the scheduled termination date. Additional subsidiaries also agreed to participate in the Receivables Facility as of that date. On March 31, 2014, CHS and certain of its subsidiaries amended the Receivables Facility to increase the size of the facility from $500 million to $700 million and to extend the scheduled termination date. Additional subsidiaries also agreed to participate in the Receivables Facility as of that date. On November 18, 2016, CHS and certain of its subsidiaries amended the Receivables Facility to extend the scheduled termination date in respect of a $450 million portion of the commitments thereunder and amend certain other provisions thereof. On June 23, 2017, CHS and certain of its subsidiaries amended the Receivables Facility to replace a managing agent, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. with PNC Bank, National Association, to decrease the size of the facility from $700 million to $600 million and to extend the scheduled termination date in respect of $150 million of the $250 million portion to expire on November 13, 2018 coterminous with the remaining commitments. The remaining $100 million was repaid with available cash on hand. The existing and future non-self pay patient-related accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) for certain affiliated hospitals serve as collateral for the outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility. The interest rate on the borrowings is based on the commercial paper rate plus an applicable interest rate spread. Unless earlier terminated or subsequently extended pursuant to its terms, the Receivables Facility will expire on November 13, 2018 in respect of the $600 million of commitments thereunder, subject to customary termination events that could cause an early termination date. CHS maintains effective control over the Receivables because, pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Facility, the Receivables are sold from certain of CHS’ subsidiaries to CHS, and CHS then sells or contributes the Receivables to a special-purpose entity that is wholly-owned by CHS. The wholly-owned special-purpose entity in turn grants security interests in the Receivables in exchange for borrowings obtained from the group of third-party lenders and banks of up to $600 million outstanding from time to time based on the availability of eligible Receivables and other customary factors. The wholly-owned special-purpose entity is not a subsidiary guarantor under the Credit Facility or CHS’ outstanding notes. The group of third-party lenders and banks do not have recourse to CHS or its subsidiaries beyond the assets of the wholly-owned special-purpose entity that collateralizes the loan. The Receivables and other assets of the wholly-owned special-purpose entity will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of such entity. The outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Receivables Facility at June 30, 2017 totaled $600 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of Receivables included in the Receivables Facility totaled approximately $1.7 billion and is included in patient accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

To limit the effect of changes in interest rates on a portion of the Company’s long-term borrowings, the Company is a party to 8 separate interest swap agreements in effect at June 30, 2017, with an aggregate notional amount for currently effective swaps of $2.2 billion. On each of these swaps, the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR in exchange for the payment of a fixed rate of interest. The Company currently pays, on a quarterly basis, interest on the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The Term G Loan and Term H Loan accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and 3.00%, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, respectively, and Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75% and 2.00%, respectively, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Borrowings. The Term G Loan and the Term H Loan are subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor and a 2.00% Alternate Base Rate floor. See Note 13 for additional information regarding these swaps.

The Company paid interest of $130 million and $182 million on borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $409 million and $489 million on borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
