EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 5, 2019, OrthoPediatrics Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) disclosing, among other things, that the Company had acquired (the “Acquisition”), on June 4, 2019, all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Vilex in Tennessee, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“Vilex”), and all of the issued and outstanding units of membership interests in Orthex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Orthex”).

This Amendment No. 1 to the Original 8-K (this “Amendment No. 1”) is being filed for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s undertaking to file the financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the Acquisition, as required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. Any information required to be set forth in the Original 8-K which is not being amended or supplemented pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 is hereby incorporated by reference. Except as set forth herein, no modifications have been made to the information contained in the Original 8-K and the Company has not updated any information contained therein to reflect the events that have occurred since the date of the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Planned Divestiture
 
As reported in the Original 8-K, Orthex and Vilex (together, the “Vilex Companies”) are primarily manufacturers of foot and ankle surgical implants, including cannulated screws, fusion devices, surgical staples and bone plates, as well as Orthex Hexapod technology which is used to treat pediatric congenital deformities and limb length discrepancies. Because the current product line of the Vilex Companies also includes adult offerings that are not core to the Company’s pediatrics business, the Company is taking the steps necessary to divest those non-core product lines of the Vilex Companies. Most recently, the Company engaged an investment bank to assist it in identifying and soliciting bids from potential buyers. The Company anticipates completing the divestiture by the end of 2019 and has presented the portion of the business being divested as discontinued operations in the pro forma financial information filed with this Amendment No. 1.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As reported in the Original 8-K, the Company completed the Acquisition on June 4, 2019. The information disclosed in response to Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a)    Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

The financial statements of the Vilex Companies required by this Item 9.01(a) are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment No. 1 and are incorporated by reference herein.

(b)     Pro Forma Financial Information.

The pro forma financial information required by this Item 9.01(b) is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.








(d)     Exhibits.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Any statements contained herein that do not describe historical facts, including but not limited to statements related to the planned divestiture of the non-core product lines of the Vilex Companies and the timing and impact of such divestiture are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the risks related to the Company’s ability to successfully manage the divestiture process and to complete the divestiture in order to realize the anticipated benefits, and such other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including those described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in subsequent filings with the SEC. Any of these risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
