EXPLANATORY NOTE

Akumin Inc. (the “Company”, the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement of the Registrant contain forward-looking statements that reflect our management’s expectations with respect to future events, our financial performance and business prospects. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The use of the words such as “plan”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “potential”, “proposed” and other similar words (including negative and grammatical variations), or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur, and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, including, without limitation, those described in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed as Exhibit 99.58 to this Registration Statement. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements in the Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement should not be unduly relied upon. The Registrant’s forward-looking statements contained in the Exhibits incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement are made as of the respective dates set forth in such Exhibits. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In preparing this Registration Statement, the Registrant has not updated such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in circumstances or in management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions that may have occurred prior to the date hereof. Nor does the Registrant assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements in the future. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries,

 

38


and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent has approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date (it being agreed that following the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any outstanding Letter of Credit would be required to be Cash Collateralized by the Borrower on terms and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuer).

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(E) any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

 

39


(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 

40


(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (and on the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed

 

41


drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

42


(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

43


(iv) waiver by an L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by an L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi) any payment made by any L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall have no responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower

 

44


which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to 0.25% of each issued Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

45


(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information. If at any time any Lender other than the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is the L/C Issuer, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any Letter of Credit, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer that is outstanding hereunder. No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.03(k) shall limit the obligation of the Borrower or any applicable Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.03.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of

 

46


any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

47


(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice to be in the form of a Committed Repayment Loan Notice), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2)

Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Unless a Default has occurred, each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, otherwise such prepayment shall be applied to the principal repayment installments of the Term Facility in inverse order of maturity. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.

(iii) Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests other than Equity Interests of Holdings issued in connection with employee compensation plans, in connection with the exercise of warrants outstanding on the Closing Date, as consideration for a Permitted Acquisition or for the express purpose of financing working capital (and only to the extent raised for such purpose), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by any Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(vi) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (such prepayments and/or Cash Collateralization to be applied as set forth in clauses (vii) and (viii) below).

 

50


(vii) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, to the Term Loans and to the principal repayment installments thereof in direct order of maturity for the next four scheduled principal repayment installments and thereafter to the remaining scheduled principal repayment installments (including the payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date) on a pro rata basis and, second, to the Revolving Credit Facility (without permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) in the manner set forth in clause (viii) of this Section 2.05(b). Subject to Section 2.16, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facilities.

(viii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time until all such Revolving Credit Loans are paid in full (without any reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case) and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the unused Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

(ii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

 

51


(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or unused portions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

52


(d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable Law or legal principle.

2.09 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to (a) until the delivery of financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter of Holdings ending December 31, 2018, [Percentage redacted for confidentiality reasons.] per annum, and (b) thereafter, the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, and on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BBVA’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

53


(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, Holdings, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Holdings or the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations; provided, however that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender or by Administrative Agent.

(c) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

55


(b) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c).

(d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(e) Authorization. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(f) Insufficient Payment. Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof of the applicable Facility as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

56


(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, from time to time, request by notice to the Administrative Agent (x) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase”), (y) one or more increases in the Term Facility (each, a “Term Loan Increase”) or (z) one or more term loan tranches to be made available to the Borrower (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”; each Incremental Term Loan, each Revolving Credit Increase and each Term Loan Increase, collectively, referred to as the “Incremental Increases”); provided that (i) the principal amount for all such Incremental Increases shall not exceed $40,000,000; (ii) any such request for an Incremental Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or a lesser amount in the event such amount represents all remaining availability under this Section); (iii) no Revolving Credit Increase shall (A) increase the Letter of Credit Sublimit without the consent of the L/C Issuer or (B) increase the Swing Line Sublimit without the consent of the Swing Line Lender; (iv) no Incremental Term Loan shall mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Facility; (v) each Incremental Term Loan shall (A) rank pari passu or junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security with the Term Loans, including sharing in mandatory prepayments under Section 2.05(b) pro rata with the Term Loans (unless agreed to be paid after the Term Loans by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan), (B) shall have the same guarantees from the Guarantors and rank pari passu with respect to the Collateral with the other Facilities and (C) shall have an Applicable Rate or pricing grid and scheduled amortization (subject to clause (iv)) as determined by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Borrower; (vi) except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Facility, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders providing such Term Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan and the Borrower, provided that in no event shall the covenants, defaults and similar non-economic provisions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, taken as a whole, (x) be more restrictive than the corresponding terms set forth in the Term Facility (except to the extent either (A) applicable to all of the other Facilities then in effect or (B) only applicable after the latest Maturity Date of the other Facilities then in effect) or (y) contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents; and (viii) each Incremental Increase shall constitute Obligations hereunder and, except as provided above with respect to any Incremental Term Loan that is junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security, shall be guaranteed and secured pursuant to the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations hereunder.

(b) Process for Increase. Incremental Increases may be (but shall not be required to be) provided by any existing Lender, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or by any other Person that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (each such other Person, an “Additional Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,

 

57


delayed or conditioned) to each proposed Additional Lender providing such Incremental Increase to the extent the Administrative Agent would be required to consent to an assignment to such Additional Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(iii) and (ii) in the case of any Revolving Credit Increase, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to each such Lender or proposed Additional Lender providing such Revolving Credit Increase if such consent by the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, would be required under Section 10.06(b)(iii) for an assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to such Lender or proposed Additional Lender; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to offer or accept commitments from existing Lenders for any Incremental Increase. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, increase its Term Commitment or Term Loans or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, and no consent of any Lender, other than the Lenders agreeing to provide any portion of an Incremental Increase, shall be required to effectuate such Incremental Increase.

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of any Incremental Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten Business Days after the date of any request therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Incremental Increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.

(i) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower and, if reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable under applicable Law with respect to the Guaranty of a Guarantor, of each such Guarantor, dated as of the Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or Guarantor and (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower or Guarantor approving or consenting to such Incremental Increase (which, with respect to any such Loan Party, may, if applicable, be the resolutions entered into by such Loan Party in connection with the incurrence of the Obligations on the Closing Date) and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase:

(A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the applicable representations and warranties may, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, be limited to (1) customary “specified representations” for limited condition acquisition facilities and (2) customary acquisition agreement representations for limited condition acquisitions;

 

58


(B) no Default shall exist and be continuing; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, (x) at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof and (y) on the date of effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase and the making of any Loan thereunder, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof;

(C) Holdings shall be in pro forma compliance (assuming such Incremental Increase is fully drawn and giving effect to any Permitted Acquisition, refinancing of debt or other event giving rise to a pro forma adjustment) with (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio maintenance level in effect for the last day of the quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred and (ii) a Total Leverage Ratio of a level 0.25 to 1.00 lower than the Total Leverage Ratio maintenance level in effect for the last day of the quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, if the Borrower so requests, to the extent agreed by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, such compliance may be measured at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition (and Section 1.08 shall then apply); and

(D) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase shall have received (i) at least five (5) days before the Increase Effective Date, all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries that shall have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Increase Effective Date and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably determine is required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts and (ii) at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date, if the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the Borrower for each Lender requesting such at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Increase shall have the same terms as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and be part of the existing Revolving Credit Facility hereunder. Upon each Revolving Credit Increase (x) each Revolving Credit Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Increase (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Credit Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans, will, in each case, equal each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages (after giving effect to such increase in the Revolving Credit Facility) and (y) if, on the date of such increase there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make such payments among themselves as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from such Revolving Credit Increase, and the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with such payments among the Revolving Credit Lenders as if such payments were effected by prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.

 

59


(iii) To the extent that any Incremental Increase shall take the form of a Term Loan Increase or an Incremental Term Loan, this Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender or any L/C Issuer other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Term Loan Increase), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan commitment, including mandatory prepayments, assignments and voting provisions; provided that (i) if any terms taken as a whole are adverse to the material interests of the existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, then that shall constitute a reasonable basis for the Administrative Agent not to be satisfied with such terms or amendment and (ii) no such terms or amendment shall contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents.

(iv) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, all fees and expenses relating to each Incremental Increase, to the extent due and payable, shall have been paid in full.

(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases), following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at BBVA. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

 

60


(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with the last two sentences of Section 10.06(b)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, to be held in a noninterest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the

 

61


payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such

Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 10.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

62


(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that

Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

63


(c) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

64


(f) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(i)(A), and (i)(B) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

  (1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

  (2)

executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

  (3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or

 

65


  (4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide an applicable certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine either that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the terms “law” and “Laws” shall include FATCA, and solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if it is aware that any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

66


(h) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree that the Administrative Agent can offset any payment to be made that is allocable to such applicable Lender by such amounts owed by such Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(h).

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will

 

67


promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR as set forth herein for any requested Interest Period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary in nature, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to then prevailing market conventions for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. If no successor to LIBOR has been determined and the circumstances under this clause (b) exist, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any successor to LIBOR shall provide that in no event shall such successor rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by the definition of Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender , the L/C Issuer or any other Recipient to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender , the L/C Issuer or other Recipient in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes that are payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

68


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

 

69


3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

materially adverse conditions upon the Transactions or the rights of Holdings or its Subsidiaries or Professional Services Affiliates freely to transfer or otherwise dispose of, or to create any Lien on, any properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any of them.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and each L/C hereby irrevocably appoints BBVA to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacity as a Lender) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Subsidiary or Minority Investment or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(a) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its

 

109


own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including, without limitation, any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

110


(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective

 

111


activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuer appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, L/C Issuer and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding the Arranger shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

 

113


Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (each, a “Credit Bid”) (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such Credit Bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, Credit Bid on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles; provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be Credit Bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt Credit Bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof;

 

114


(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(g).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements. No Lender Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty.

9.12 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

122


(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis, (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Revolving Credit Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (A) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender and (B) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to one or more Funds managed by the same investment advisor (which Funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single such $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d). In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the

 

123


applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except any consent in proviso (i) to clause (b) above regarding minimum assignment amounts and:

(i) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term Commitment or any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. It is the intention of this Agreement that the Loans will be in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes and this Agreement shall be interpreted to further that intention.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain

 

124


solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.13 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.04 or 3.01 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time BBVA or any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), (i) such Person may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) BBVA may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of BBVA or the applicable L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If BBVA or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make

 

125


Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If BBVA resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to BBVA to effectively assume the obligations of BBVA with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(i) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other Committed Loan Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender other than a Lender that is then a Defaulting Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.11. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it

 

127


exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (including without limitation, the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied shall remain outstanding.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

128


10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

10.18 Additional Titles. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner shall have no duties or responsibilities in their capacity as such hereunder and such Persons shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied responsibilities, duties or obligations of the Lead Arranger or Bookrunner shall be construed to exist in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this press release constitutes forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information.

Annual Information Form

Meaning of Certain References

Unless otherwise noted or the context requires:

 

  a)

all references in this annual information form (the “Annual Information Form”) to the “Company”, “Akumin”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Akumin Inc., together with our subsidiaries and other consolidating entities, on a consolidated basis, as of the date hereof;

 

  b)

all references to “$” are to United States dollars; and

 

  c)

all references to “federal” refer to the departments and agencies of the federal government of the United States of America.

Certain terms used in this Annual Information Form are defined under “Glossary”.

Glossary

Certain terms used in this Annual Information Form have the following meanings:

Common Shares” means the common shares in the capital of the Company.

Control” means: (i) in the case of a company or other body corporate wherever or however incorporated: (A) securities entitled to vote in the election of directors carrying in the aggregate at least a majority of the votes for the election of directors and representing in the aggregate at least a majority of the participating (equity) securities are held, other than by way of security only, directly or indirectly, by or solely for the benefit of the other person or persons; and (B) the votes carried in the aggregate by such securities are entitled, if exercised, to elect a majority of the board of directors of such company or other body corporate; or (ii) in the case of a person that is not a company or other body corporate, at least a majority of the participating (equity) and voting interests of such person are held, directly or indirectly, by or solely for the benefit of the other person or persons; and “Controls” and “Controlling” shall be interpreted accordingly.

Shareholders” means the holders of Common Shares.

Non-IFRS Measures

This Annual Information Form makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    1


may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA means net income (loss) attributable to Shareholders before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related costs and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period and one-time adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense, taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for Fiscal 2018, which section is incorporated by reference herein, for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Forward-Looking Information

This Annual Information Form contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    2


Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;

 

   

general market conditions in the radiology and diagnostic imaging services industry;

 

   

our ability to service existing debt;

 

   

our ability to acquire new radiology and medical imaging centers and, upon acquisition, to successfully market and sell new services that we acquire;

 

   

our ability to achieve the financing necessary to complete the acquisitions of new radiology and medical imaging centers;

 

   

our ability to enforce any claims relating to breaches of indemnities or representations and warranties in connection with any acquisition;

 

   

market conditions in the capital markets and the radiology and medical imaging services industry that make raising capital or consummating acquisitions difficult, expensive or both, or which may disrupt our annual operating budget and forecasts;

 

   

unanticipated cash requirements to support current operations, to expand our business or for capital expenditures;

 

   

delays or setbacks with respect to governmental approvals, or manufacturing or commercial activities;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations;

 

   

the loss of key management or personnel;

 

   

the risk that the Company is not able to arrange sufficient, cost-effective financing to repay maturing debt and to fund expenditures, future operational activities and acquisitions, and other obligations; and

 

   

the risks associated with legislative and regulatory developments that may affect costs, revenues, the speed and degree of competition entering the market, global capital markets activity and general economic conditions in geographic areas where we operate.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this Annual Information Form in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;

 

   

a stable competitive environment; and

 

   

no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form by the foregoing cautionary statements.

The Common Shares were also listed for trading in Canadian dollars on the TSX under the symbol “AKU” on September 24, 2018.

On August 15, 2018, we refinanced our existing credit facilities with a syndicate of institutional lenders. The new credit facilities include a term loan credit facility with a principal amount of $100 million and a revolving credit facility of $30 million, both with a maturity date of August 15, 2023. The proceeds of the term loan credit facility were used to repay our prior senior credit facility with a principal amount outstanding of approximately $74.6 million and to finance the purchase price for the centers operated by Rose Radiology of approximately $25 million. The credit facilities are secured against all of the assets of the Company and its managed radiology practices, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Further, in connection with an acquisition, our subsidiary, Akumin FL, LLC, assumed a subordinated note from the sellers on May 11, 2018 with a principal amount of $1.5 million due to a lender. The obligations under that subordinated note are secured over all of the assets of Akumin FL, LLC and are subordinated to a working capital loan with a principal amount of up to $5 million due by Akumin FL, LLC to Akumin US. Subject to certain contingencies related to the performance of the acquisition target during the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, the principal amount due under the subordinated note may be increased to a maximum of $5.5 million.

The Business

Overview of Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with 95 centers located in Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Illinois and Kansas. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders, thereby reducing the need for unnecessary invasive procedures and contributing to lower costs and better outcomes for patients. Our imaging procedures include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

Business Model

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies in the United States provides for deep, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

We manage our business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services. We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our centers. For Fiscal 2018, we generated revenue from continued operations of $154,782,067.

Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Centers

As of December 31, 2018, we operate 95 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the United States spread across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Illinois and Kansas. Our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers offer diagnostic imaging for referring physicians, as well as diagnostic imaging related to personal injury protection. We provide a full range of medical imaging services, including MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

Future Growth

We have a highly strategic and thoughtful approach to growth that is focused on profitability over the long term.

Our planned growth will be comprised of organic growth as well as opportunistic acquisitions. We expect the focus of our acquisition growth will be in the markets where we currently maintain a significant foothold. These markets include Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania.

Organic growth will be a combination of marketing and operational focus to increase volumes in our existing clinics as well as opening new clinics in our key markets. Additionally, where market demand subsists, we will consider adding modalities in centers that are currently only single or dual modality centers. We expect multi-modality centers to help diversify risk while contributing positively to our margins.

We also expect to focus on key markets and to build geographic density within those markets to help us work closely with the insurance payors with whom we conduct business.

To attain growth and offer a competitive differentiator in key markets, we will also consider replacing or adding new technologies and equipment. While reimbursement rates may not change with newer equipment, we believe this strategy will offer us a market advantage which will ultimately lead to increased volumes. An example of this is our investment in 3D digital mammography, which is now being reimbursed by many of the large national insurance payors in addition to Medicare.

See “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in this Annual Information Form.

Seasonality

The seasonality in our business usually leads to lower first calendar quarter revenue and profitability from weaker utilization of services as a result of winter weather on the East Coast. Our business is also affected by the hurricane season which may impact our operations in coastal regions, particularly in Florida, albeit the Company seeks to mitigate disruptions as a result of hurricane damage through insurance coverage. Our geographic diversification across the Northeast, Southeast and Central United States helps to diminish such seasonality risks.

Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our centers, the location of our centers and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    7


Compliance and Internal Controls

The Company is subject to a range of state and federal regulatory laws and statutes. Compliance and related internal controls are managed by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, who chairs the Company’s Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee has oversight with respect to the following matters:

 

   

audit compliance in marketing, operations, billing, clinical, information technology, exclusions checks, human resources and quarterly compliance checks vis-à-vis the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (the HIPAA”). These audits encompass members of our leadership teams within these areas and provide information related to compliance with specific statutes, including the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the “Stark Law” and the state equivalent of the Stark Law and other similar statutes. The Compliance Committee analyzes this information to recommend and implement solutions;

 

   

risk analysis for each of above areas (completed quarterly). This analysis focuses on regulatory compliance and is used for building the structure of audits for each area. Items identified are assigned scores which include likelihood of occurrence, resulting impact of occurrence and trending data for mitigating risk;

 

   

oversight to investigations and trends within compliance program (ongoing). The Chief Compliance Officer guides his team regarding investigations and, where appropriate, completes these investigations directly and reports findings to both the Compliance Committee and the Compliance Board;

 

   

review and modify policies and procedures, as needed (ongoing); and

 

   

review and modify company training (ongoing).

The Company’s compliance program also includes annual training for Compliance Committee members, a compliance hotline and compliance management software.

The Company’s internal controls for mitigating regulatory risk include:

 

   

policies and procedures which address specific compliance issues, including marketing, operations, and compliance with specific statutes such as the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, the Stark Law and other similar statutes;

 

   

training and education of employees on prevention of fraud and abuse, including with respect to HIPAA. One of the basic tools of this training is our Code of Conduct;

 

   

employee-specific training provided for different job titles within the Company to address risks pertaining to their role;

 

   

training provided to employees through our compliance management software platform which provides information including training reports for individual employees;

 

   

management of a company-wide compliance hotline. Employees are trained to use it any time they see or suspect compliance issues. This hotline is available via phone, email, and fax and employees can maintain complete anonymity without fear of retaliation;

 

   

having a Compliance Committee and a Compliance Board; and

 

   

having a Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance staff.

Employees

As at December 31, 2018, we have approximately 1,454 employees.

We employ site managers who are responsible for overseeing day-to-day and routine operations at each of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, including staffing, modality and schedule coordination, referring physician and patient relations and purchasing of materials. These site managers report to regional directors, who are responsible for oversight of the operations of all outpatient diagnostic imaging centers within their region, including operations, marketing and contracting. The regional directors, along with our directors of contracting, marketing, facilities, management/purchasing and human resources all report to our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and our medical director report directly to our President and Chief Executive Officer.

None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have had no labour-related work stoppages.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    8


Corporate Reorganization

Effective December 31, 2018, we completed a corporate reorganization of certain of our subsidiaries which included changing the name of our subsidiary Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC to Akumin Imaging Texas, LLC and the name of our subsidiary Tri-State Imaging FL Holdings, LLC to Akumin Florida Holdings, LLC.

Environmental and Corporate Responsibility

Management seeks to keep individual and collective exposure to doses of radioactive materials and radiation sources “as low as reasonably achievable” (or “ALARA”). The ALARA approach focuses on actively seeking out methods to minimize radiation exposure.

In addition to having established written policies, procedures and instructions to foster the ALARA concept within the Company, we have a dedicated Radiation Safety Officer (“RSO”). The RSO performs quarterly and annual reviews and implements changes driven by regulatory or industry requirements.

Modifications to procedures, equipment and facilities that could reduce radiation exposure are considered and reviewed by the RSO with management annually. In addition to maintaining doses to individuals ALARA, the sum of the doses received by all exposed individuals are also maintained ALARA. The RSO reviews the results of personnel monitoring every quarter and addresses any increased levels.

Radioactive material licenses issued to Akumin are maintained by the RSO and reviewed by a contracted licensed medical physicist every quarter. The radioactive materials held by the Company for equipment calibration and patient use are of low level. None of our facilities release radioactive material into the environment. All radioactive waste is held for storage in-house and decayed to background level prior to disposal.

Our Board has also adopted a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries’ integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behaviour. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board has ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct and monitors compliance through our Governance Committee. Directors, officers and employees are required to annually certify that they have not violated the Code of Conduct.

Risk Factors

The following specific factors could materially adversely affect us and should be considered when deciding whether to make an investment in Akumin and the Common Shares. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Information Form and the information incorporated by reference herein are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the following risks, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of the Common Shares could be materially and adversely affected. In all these cases, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline, and prospective investors could lose all or part of their investment.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    9


Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our strategy to grow our business through acquisitions is subject to significant risks.

A key component of our strategy to grow our business is to complete additional outpatient diagnostic imaging center acquisitions to expand our product range and increase our revenues. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon our ability to enter into acquisition agreements that we believe are consistent with our business strategy. Risks in acquiring new outpatient diagnostic imaging centers include: (a) our ability to locate new centers that are attractive and complement our business; and (b) our ability to acquire these centers at attractive acquisition prices. We also face competition from other outpatient diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive products on acceptable terms. Accordingly, we may not be able to acquire rights to additional outpatient diagnostic imaging centers on acceptable terms, if at all. Further, we may not be able to obtain future financing for new acquisitions on acceptable terms, if at all. Our inability to complete acquisitions of additional outpatient diagnostic imaging centers could limit the overall growth of our business.

We experience competition from other outpatient diagnostic imaging companies and hospitals, and this competition could adversely affect our revenue and business.

The market for outpatient diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our centers, the location of our centers and the quality of our outpatient diagnostic imaging services. We compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment. Our competitors include, among others: Radnet, Inc., Alliance Healthcare Services, Inc., Diagnostic Imaging Group, InSight Health Services Corp. and American Radiology Services. Some of our competitors may now or in the future have access to greater financial resources than we do and may have access to newer, more advanced equipment. In addition, some physician practices have established their own outpatient diagnostic imaging centers within their group practices and compete with us. We are experiencing increased competition as a result of such activities, and if we are unable to successfully compete, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Our failure to integrate the businesses we acquire successfully and on a timely basis could reduce our profitability.

We may never realize expected synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects in connection with our acquisitions. We may experience increased competition that limits our ability to expand our business. We may not be able to capitalize on expected business opportunities, assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings may be inaccurate, or general industry and business conditions may deteriorate. In addition, integrating operations will require significant efforts and expenses on our part. Personnel may leave or be terminated because of an acquisition. Our management may have its attention diverted while trying to integrate an acquisition. If these factors limit our ability to integrate the operations of an acquisition successfully or on a timely basis, our expectations of future results of operations, including certain cost savings and synergies as a result of the acquisition, may not be met. In addition, our growth and operating strategies for a target’s business may be different from the strategies that the target company pursued prior to our acquisition. If our strategies are not the proper strategies, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to generate revenue depends in large part on referrals from physicians.

A significant reduction in physician referrals would have a negative impact on our business. We derive substantially all of our net revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our centers. We depend on referrals of patients from unaffiliated physicians and other third parties who have no contractual obligations to refer patients to us for a substantial portion of the services we perform. If a sufficiently large number of these physicians and other third parties were to discontinue referring patients to us, our scan volume could decrease, which would reduce our net revenue and operating margins. Further, commercial third-party payors have implemented programs that could limit

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    10


the ability of physicians to refer patients to us. For example, prepaid healthcare plans, such as health maintenance organizations, sometimes contract directly with providers and require their enrollees to obtain these services exclusively from those providers. Some insurance companies and self-insured employers also limit these services to contracted providers. These “closed panel” systems are now common in the managed care environment. Other systems create an economic disincentive for referrals to providers outside the system’s designated panel of providers. If we are unable to compete successfully for these managed care contracts, our results and prospects for growth could be adversely affected.

Pressure to control healthcare costs could have a negative impact on our results.

One of the principal objectives of health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations is to control the cost of healthcare services. Healthcare providers participating in managed care plans may be required to refer diagnostic imaging tests to certain providers depending on the plan in which a covered patient is enrolled. In addition, managed care contracting has become very competitive, and reimbursement schedules are at or below Medicare reimbursement levels. The expansion of health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care organizations within the geographic areas covered by our network could have a negative impact on the utilization and pricing of our services, because these organizations will exert greater control over patients’ access to diagnostic imaging services, the selections of the provider of such services and reimbursement rates for those services.

If our contracted radiology practices lose a significant number of radiologists, our financial results could be adversely affected.

At times, there has been a shortage of qualified radiologists in some of the regional markets we serve. In addition, competition in recruiting radiologists may make it difficult for our contracted radiology practices to maintain adequate levels of radiologists. If a significant number of radiologists terminate their relationships with our contracted radiology practices and those radiology practices cannot recruit sufficient qualified radiologists to fulfill their obligations under our agreements with them, our ability to maximize the use of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers and our financial results could be adversely affected. Neither we, nor our contracted radiology practices, maintain insurance on the lives of any affiliated physicians.

We may become subject to professional malpractice liability, which could be costly and negatively impact our business.

The physicians employed by our contracted radiology practices are from time to time subject to malpractice claims. We structure our relationships with radiologists in a manner that we believe does not constitute the practice of medicine by us or subject us to professional malpractice claims for acts or omissions of physicians employed by the contracted radiology practices. Nevertheless, claims, suits or complaints relating to services provided by the contracted radiology practices have been asserted against us in the past and may be asserted against us in the future. In addition, we may be subject to professional liability claims, including, without limitation, for improper use or malfunction of our outpatient diagnostic imaging equipment or for accidental contamination or injury from exposure to radiation. We may not be able to maintain adequate liability insurance to protect us against those claims at acceptable costs or at all.

Any claim made against us that is not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend, result in a substantial damage award against us and divert the attention of our management from our operations, all of which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, successful claims against us may adversely affect our business or reputation.

We may not be able to enforce claims with respect to the representations, warranties and indemnities that the sellers of any diagnostic imaging center we acquire have provided to us under the respective purchase agreements.

In connection with our acquisitions, the sellers have given certain representations, warranties and indemnities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce any claims against those sellers’ breaches of such representations, warranties or indemnities. The sellers’ liability with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties and indemnities under the respective purchase agreement may be limited. Even if we ultimately succeed in recovering any amounts, we may temporarily be required to bear these losses ourselves.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    11


We may not be able to secure additional financing which may impair our ability to complete future acquisitions.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funding that we will need to carry out our business objectives and to complete outpatient diagnostic imaging center acquisitions. The development of our business depends upon prevailing capital market conditions, our business performance and our ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the financing we require as and when needed or at all in order to complete future acquisitions. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from treasury, Control of the Company may change and Shareholders may suffer additional dilution.

We do not independently own all of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers.

Healthcare laws and regulations in the United States may impact our ability to operate or own our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, thereby necessitating the use of partnerships, joint ventures and other management services frameworks. The Company may be required to deal with such diverse operating or ownership frameworks. In addition, from time to time, the Company may decide to use cash to restructure its arrangements with fellow owners, managers or operators.

We may engage in litigation with our partners and contractors.

The nature of our relationships with our partners and contractors may give rise to litigation or disputes. In the ordinary course of business, we are the subject of complaints or litigation. We may also engage in future litigation to enforce the terms of our agreements and compliance with our brand standards as determined necessary to protect our brand, the consistency of our services and the consumer experience. Engaging in such litigation may be costly and time-consuming and may distract management and materially adversely affect our relationships with our partners and contractors or potential partners and contractors and our ability to attract new partners and contractors. Any negative outcome of these or any other claims could materially adversely affect our results of operations, as well as our ability to increase our number of partners and contractors and may damage our reputation and brand. Furthermore, existing and future legislation could subject us to additional litigation risk in the event we are required by such legislation to terminate or fail to renew a partner or contractor or not succeed in revising the contracts related to such relationships to comply with changes to legislation.

The regulatory framework in which we operate is uncertain and evolving.

Healthcare laws and regulations may change significantly in the future. We continuously monitor these developments and modify our operations from time to time as the regulatory environment changes. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to adapt our operations to address new regulations or that new regulations will not adversely affect our business. In addition, although we believe that we are operating in compliance with applicable federal and state laws, neither our current or anticipated business operations nor the operations of the contracted radiology practices have been the subject of judicial or regulatory interpretation. We cannot assure you that a review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change in a way that restricts our operations. Certain states have enacted statutes or adopted regulations affecting risk assumption in the healthcare industry, including statutes and regulations that subject any physician or physician network engaged in risk-based managed care contracting to applicable insurance laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, if adopted in the states in which we operate, may require physicians and physician networks to meet minimum capital requirements and other safety and soundness requirements. Implementing additional regulations or compliance requirements could result in substantial costs to us and the contracted radiology practices and limit our ability to enter into risk-sharing managed care arrangements.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    12


Complying with federal and state regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.

We are directly or indirectly through the radiology practices with which we contract subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the state governments in which we and/or they provide services, including:

 

   

the federal civil False Claims Act;

 

   

the federal Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback laws, state anti-kickback prohibitions, and regulations promulgated under each of the foregoing;

 

   

the federal Civil Monetary Penalties law and regulations;

 

   

federal and state billing and claims submission and other insurance laws and regulations;

 

   

the federal HIPAA law and comparable state laws;

 

   

the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the “Stark Law” and the state equivalents of the Stark Law;

 

   

state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians and prohibit fee-splitting arrangements involving physicians;

 

   

laws relating to practitioner and provider licensure;

 

   

laws relating to medical malpractice;

 

   

federal and state laws governing the diagnostic imaging and therapeutic equipment we use in our business concerning patient safety, equipment operating specifications and radiation exposure levels; and

 

   

state laws governing reimbursement for diagnostic services related to services compensable under workers compensation rules.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations to which we or the radiology practices with which we contract are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines or curtailment of our operations, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risks of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations and such laws and regulations may apply to businesses acquired from time to time by Akumin, in addition to Akumin’s business.

Additionally, prior to our acquisition of Akumin Texas, Preferred Imaging Centers, LLC (“PIC”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akumin Texas which was merged into Akumin Texas effective September 30, 2017, was the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) premised upon an allegation that PIC and its affiliates violated U.S. federal law by performing and billing for certain imaging services without on-site physician supervision. In or about June, 2016, PIC entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations, which included PIC paying $3,510,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Also, prior to our acquisition of the imaging centers operated by Rose Radiology, Rose Radiology (through its predecessor, Rose Radiology Centers, Inc.) was the subject of an investigation by the DOJ premised upon allegations that Rose Radiology violated the False Claims Act for billing Medicare and other federal programs for ineligible procedures and certain other healthcare laws. Upon our acquisition of Rose Radiology’s assets, Rose Radiology, a physician-owned radiology practice, retained Akumin as its manager for administrative and other non-clinical matters. In or about December, 2015, Rose Radiology entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations which included Rose Radiology paying $8,710,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a CIA. Rose Radiology’s CIA expires December 29, 2020.

Given the broad powers of the DOJ and other federal agencies, there can be no assurance that the obligations of Akumin Texas and Rose Radiology pursuant to their respective CIAs, or otherwise, will not be expanded to cover all or a greater portion of Akumin’s operations. Any action brought against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, suffer reputational harm and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    13


Federal and state privacy and information security laws are complex, and if we fail to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, or if we fail to properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems, or defend against cybersecurity attacks, we may be subject to government or private actions due to privacy and security breaches, and our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

We must comply with numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, dissemination, access, use, security and privacy of individually identifiable protected health information, including HIPAA. If we fail to comply with applicable privacy and security laws, regulations and standards, properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems, or defend against cybersecurity attacks, our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Information security risks have significantly increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct our operations, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties, including foreign state agents. Our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential, proprietary and other information in our computer systems and networks.

We are continuously implementing multiple layers of security measures through technology, processes, and our people; utilize current security technologies; and our defenses are monitored and tested internally and by external parties. Despite these efforts, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to privacy and security incidents; security attacks and breaches; acts of vandalism or theft; computer viruses; coordinated attacks by activist entities; emerging cybersecurity risks; misplaced or lost data; programming and/or human errors; or other similar events. Emerging and advanced security threats, including coordinated attacks, require additional layers of security which may disrupt or impact efficiency of operations.

We may not receive payment from some of our healthcare provider customers because of their financial circumstances or other contractual or legal disputes.

Some of our healthcare provider customers do not have significant financial resources, liquidity or access to capital. If these customers experience financial difficulties or if there arises a contractual or other legal dispute to which they are party, they may be unable to pay us for the equipment and services that we provide. A significant deterioration in general or local economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial health of certain of our healthcare provider customers. As a result, we may have to increase the amounts of accounts receivable that we write-off, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant liabilities which require us to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in order to make mandated payments of principal and interest.

We have incurred significant liabilities in connection with the acquisition of our current medical imaging centers. Our ability to repay these liabilities will be contingent upon our success in achieving sufficient revenues from these medical imaging centers to be able to make payments of principal and interest against this debt when due and payable. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure future additional financing to repay our current credit facilities should cash flows from operations be insufficient to repay these liabilities. Our inability to repay outstanding debt when due would have a material adverse impact on our business.

Liquidity Risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its financial commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk mainly with respect to its credit facilities. The Company seeks to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    14


We may not be able to continue to meet certain covenants under our credit facilities and our inability to meet these covenants could result in acceleration of our long-term liabilities.

Our credit facilities require us to maintain specified collateral coverage and satisfy financial covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet certain covenants under our existing credit facilities. A failure to meet such covenants could result in our lenders seeking to enforce their rights under such credit facilities, which include acceleration of payments and enforcement of security interests. This may negatively affect our financial condition, business and operating results. Our credit facilities also contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

 

   

create, incur or assume certain liens;

 

   

create, incur or assume additional indebtedness;

 

   

make or hold certain investments;

 

   

merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate with or into another person;

 

   

declare or make certain payments, including dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock;

 

   

change the nature of the business; and

 

   

enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.

The restrictions in our credit facilities governing our other indebtedness may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business and may make it difficult for us to execute our business strategy successfully or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness, at maturity or otherwise, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit facilities may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control including credit or capital market disruptions. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default that would permit the lenders to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. If we are unable to repay the indebtedness, the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness, among other remedies. This could have serious consequences to our financial position and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.

The effect of the uncertainty relating to potential future changes to U.S. healthcare laws may increase our and our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, limit the ability of patients to obtain health insurance, increase patients’ share of health care costs and negatively impact our financial results.

U.S. lawmakers have made repeated efforts to repeal or materially modify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”). While we are unable to predict what, if any, changes may ultimately be enacted, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office and others have estimated that some of the proposals made to date would result in millions of additional uninsured patients in the U.S. Additionally, U.S. lawmakers have suggested that, even if no formal legislation repealing or modifying the ACA is passed, they may take, or omit, actions that could adversely impact the viability of the ACA and the health insurance markets, which could result in more uninsured patients, other patients having lesser coverage or patients having to absorb a greater portion of the cost of their health care services. Any such changes or any other future changes in the manner in which health care services in the U.S. are paid for and reimbursed by government and private payors could adversely impact our business.

Because of our U.S. operations, we could be adversely affected by violations of anti-bribery laws.

Almost all of our operations are located outside Canada. Anti-bribery laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-resident officers, employees or any other persons acting in an official capacity for any government entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our management services agreements, services agreements and operational policies and procedures, including our compliance program, mandate compliance with applicable law, we

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    15


cannot assure you that we will be successful in preventing our contractors, employees or other agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations or that we will not otherwise be deemed to have failed to comply with such laws. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Because of our U.S. operations, we could be adversely affected by violations of anti-kickback, self-referral, or other fraud and abuse laws.

Anti-kickback, self-referral and other fraud and abuse laws and regulations, both at the federal and state level, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making referrals to, or receiving referrals from, a physician or other person in a position to refer or generate business for a health care provider such as the centers and locations operated or managed by Akumin, in exchange for remuneration, unless an exception applies. Physician and other financial relationships within the Akumin organization, including amounts paid under our management services agreements, distributions made to referring physician equity holders in the non-wholly owned imaging centers and all other financial arrangements involving Akumin, its intermediaries and potential referral sources or recipients may, notwithstanding our policies and procedures otherwise, result in violations of these laws. While our management services agreements, services agreements and operational policies and procedures, including our compliance program, mandate compliance with applicable law, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in preventing our contractors, employees or other agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations or that we will not otherwise be deemed to have failed to comply with such laws. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We operate outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in some regions which are exposed to natural disasters.

Our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers are located in regions which are vulnerable to a variety of natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wild fires, etc. We cannot ensure that our centers in these markets would survive a future hurricane, earthquake, flood, wild fire or other natural disaster. Similarly, we cannot ensure that we will be able to procure insurance for such losses in meaningful amounts or at affordable rates in the future. If a natural disaster or other event with a significant economic impact occurs in a region where we operate, such disaster or event could negatively affect the profitability of our business.

We may be unsuccessful in evaluating material risks involved in completed and future investments which could impact our ability to realize the expected benefits from future investments and acquisitions.

We regularly review investment opportunities and, as part of the review, conduct business, legal and financial due diligence with the goal of identifying and evaluating material risks involved in any particular transaction. Despite our efforts, we may be unsuccessful in ascertaining or evaluating all such risks. In particular, financial insight into our previously acquired companies or financial due diligence in respect of potential targets may be limited in light of the availability of financial information. As a result, we may not realize the intended advantages of any given investment and may not identify all of the risks relating to the investment. If we fail to realize the expected benefits from one or more investments, or do not identify all of the risks associated with a particular investment, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may be subject to certain regulations that could restrict our activities and abilities to generate revenues as planned.

From time to time, governments, government agencies and industry self-regulatory bodies in Canada, the United States, and other countries in which we will operate have adopted statutes, regulations and rulings that directly or indirectly affect the activities of our company and our future clients. These regulations could adversely impact on our ability to execute our business strategy and generate revenues as planned.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    16


Technological change in our industry could reduce the demand for our services and require us to incur significant costs to upgrade our equipment.

The development of new technologies or refinements of existing modalities may require us to upgrade and enhance our existing equipment before we may otherwise intend. Many companies currently manufacture diagnostic imaging equipment. Competition among manufacturers for a greater share of the diagnostic imaging equipment market may result in technological advances in the speed and imaging capacity of new equipment. This may accelerate the obsolescence of our equipment, and we may not have the financial ability to acquire the new or improved equipment and may not be able to maintain a competitive equipment base. In addition, advances in technology may enable physicians and others to perform diagnostic imaging procedures without us. If we are unable to deliver our services in the efficient and effective manner that payors, physicians and patients expect, our revenue could substantially decrease.

Because we have high fixed costs, lower scan volumes per system could adversely affect our business.

The principal components of our expenses, excluding depreciation, consist of debt service, finance lease payments, compensation paid to technologists, salaries, real estate lease expenses and equipment maintenance costs. Because a majority of these expenses are fixed, a relatively small change in our revenue could have a disproportionate effect on our operating and financial results depending on the source of our revenue. Thus, decreased revenue as a result of lower scan volumes per system could result in lower margins, which could materially adversely affect our business.

We may be unable to effectively maintain our equipment or generate revenue when our equipment is not operational.

Timely, effective service is essential to maintaining our reputation and high use rates on our imaging equipment. Although we have an agreement with a third party equipment service provider pursuant to which such service provider maintains and repairs the majority of our imaging equipment, the agreement does not compensate us for loss of revenue when our systems are not fully operational and our business interruption insurance may not provide sufficient coverage for the loss of revenue. Also, third party equipment service providers may not be able to perform repairs or supply needed parts in a timely manner, which could result in a loss of revenue. Therefore, if we experience more equipment malfunctions than anticipated or if we are unable to promptly obtain the service necessary to keep our equipment functioning effectively, or where our business or data is compromised on account of equipment malfunctions or a cybersecurity-related attack, our ability to provide services and to fulfill our contractual arrangements would be adversely affected and our revenue could decline.

Our inability to attract and retain qualified radiology technologists and key managerial and other non-medical personnel may adversely impact our ability to carry out our business operations and strategies as planned.

We are highly dependent on qualified managerial personnel. Our anticipated growth will require additional expertise and the addition of new qualified personnel. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the radiology and medical imaging field. Therefore, we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key managerial personnel in a timely manner, would harm our business development programs and ability to manage day-to-day operations, attract collaboration partners, attract and retain other employees and generate revenues. We may not maintain key personal life insurance on any of our employees.

Our policies regarding allowances for doubtful accounts may negatively impact our financial results in future fiscal periods.

We cannot ensure that our allowances for doubtful accounts will not exceed the estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    17


Market rate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may be subject to market risk through the risk of loss of value in our portfolios resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and equity prices. We are required to mark to market our held-for-trading investments at the end of each reporting period, to the extent we own any such investments. This process could result in significant write-downs of our investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability, which could have a significant unfavourable effect on our financial position.

Some of our imaging modalities use radioactive materials which generate regulated waste and could subject us to liabilities for injuries or violations of environmental and health and safety laws.

Some of our imaging procedures use radioactive materials which generate medical and other regulated wastes. For example, patients are injected with a radioactive substance before undergoing a PET scan. Storage, use and disposal of these materials and waste products present the risk of accidental environmental contamination and physical injury. We are subject to federal, state and local regulations governing storage, handling and disposal of these materials. We could incur significant costs and the diversion of our management’s attention in order to comply with current or future environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. Also, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these hazardous materials. Although we believe that we maintain liability insurance coverage consistent with industry practice in the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed the limits of or fall outside the coverage of our liability insurance.

Our inability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could increase the risk of an error in our financial statements.

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives due to its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to error, collusion, or improper override. Given such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and although it is possible to incorporate into the financial reporting process safeguards to reduce this risk, they cannot be guaranteed to entirely eliminate it. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, then there is an increased risk of an error in our financial statements that could result in us being required to restate previously issued financial statements at a later date.

If we fail to comply with various licensure, certification and accreditation standards, we may be subject to loss of licensure, certification or accreditation, which would adversely affect our operations.

Ownership, construction, operation, expansion and acquisition of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers are subject to various federal and state laws, regulations and approvals concerning licensing of personnel, other required certificates for certain types of healthcare facilities and certain medical equipment. In addition, freestanding diagnostic imaging centers that provide services independent of a physician’s office must be enrolled by Medicare as an independent diagnostic treatment facility, or IDTF, to bill the Medicare program. Medicare carriers have discretion in applying the IDTF requirements and therefore the application of these requirements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In addition, federal legislation requires all suppliers that provide the technical component of diagnostic MRI, PET/CT, CT, and nuclear medicine to be accredited by an accreditation organization designated by CMS (as defined below) (which currently includes the American College of Radiology (“ACR”), the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission, RadSite and the Joint Commission). Our MRI, CT, and radiology facilities are currently accredited by the ACR. We may not be able to receive the required regulatory approvals or accreditation for any future acquisitions, expansions or replacements, and the failure to obtain these approvals could limit the opportunity to expand our services.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    18


Our centers are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities to assure continued compliance with the various standards necessary for licensure and certification. If any facility loses its certification under the Medicare program, then the facility will be ineligible to receive reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. For Fiscal 2018, approximately 16% of our revenue came from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A change in the applicable certification status of one of our centers could adversely affect our other centers and in turn us as a whole. We have experienced a slowdown in the credentialing of our physicians over the last several years which has lengthened our billing and collection cycle and could negatively impact our ability to collect revenue from patients covered by Medicare. Credentialing of physicians is required by our payors prior to commencing payment.

Our management services arrangements with radiology practices and our professional services agreements with contracted radiologists or radiology practices must be structured in compliance with laws relating to the practice of medicine, including, without limitation, fee-splitting prohibitions.

State laws in certain of the states in which we operate prohibit us from owning radiology practices, from exercising control over the clinical judgment of physicians and/or from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as splitting professional fees with physicians. These laws vary by state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion, and often with limited precedent as to how challenges under these laws may turn out. A component of our business has been to enter into management services agreements with radiology practices. We provide management, administrative, technical and other non-medical services to the radiology practices in exchange for a service fee typically based on a percentage of the practice’s revenue. We structure our relationships with these radiology practices, including those managed following an acquisition by us of their nonclinical assets, in a manner that we believe keeps us from engaging in the practice of medicine or exercising control over the medical judgments or decisions of the radiology practices or their physicians, or violating prohibitions against fee-splitting. There can be no assurance that our present arrangements with physicians providing medical services and medical supervision at our owned or managed diagnostic imaging centers will not be challenged, and, if challenged, that they will not be found to violate applicable laws, thus subjecting us to potential damages, injunction and/or civil and criminal penalties or require us to restructure our arrangements in a way that would affect the control or quality of our services and/or change the amounts we receive from the operation of these centers and locations. Any of these results could jeopardize our business.

Recently enacted and future federal legislation, regulatory changes or payment changes implemented by commercial payors could limit the prices we can charge for our services and/or the amount we are reimbursed for our services, which would reduce our revenue and adversely affect our operating results.

Starting with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005’s mandated multiple procedure payment reduction, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) reimbursement for a number of diagnostic imaging procedures, including many that we or our managed radiology practices perform, has been materially reduced over the last number of years. Certain private payors have followed suit with CMS and reduced reimbursement for certain diagnostic imaging procedures. Given the recent history, we expect that reimbursement for certain diagnostic imaging services that we or our managed radiology practices provide, may be reduced in the future, which would adversely impact our business. Additionally, CMS and other payors are seeking to shift from a primarily fee for service reimbursement paradigm to a more value based model. We cannot predict what such changes will ultimately look like or how they may ultimately impact our business or financial performance, which creates significant uncertainty for our business.

There may be gaps in our insurance coverage relating to events which transpired prior to our acquisition of our centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

When Florida LLC acquired the assets of its centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware on April 21, 2016, it also agreed to indemnify the physician-owned radiology practices which serviced those centers pursuant to management services agreements with those entities. Florida LLC has not insured against risks which pre-date its acquisition of those centers and, as a result, it could be liable, without the benefit of insurance proceeds, for damages suffered as a result of complaints or other proceedings against those physician-owned radiology practices relating to events which transpired prior to April 21, 2016. These complaints could include actions for medical malpractice or wrongful death.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    19


Risks Related to Ownership of Our Shares

There are unexercised stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants outstanding and which may be issued from time to time. If these are exercised or converted, an investor’s interest in our Common Shares will be diluted.

As of December 31, 2018, we had 62,371,275 Common Shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, we also had an aggregate of 6,583,436 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options, RSUs and warrants. If all of these options, RSUs and warrants vest and are exercised, the Company would be required to issue 6,583,436 Common Shares, or approximately 10.56% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis as of December 31, 2018, and the Company would receive an aggregate of $13,614,952. See “Description of Capital Structure – Common Shares”.

These issuances would decrease the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other Shareholders. This dilution could cause the price of our Common Shares to decline and it could result in the creation of new control persons. In addition, our Shareholders could suffer dilution in the net book value per Common Share.

A decline in the price of the Common Shares could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of the Common Shares could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our Common Shares and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of our operations has been and is expected to be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our Common Shares could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including the ability to acquire diagnostic imaging centers and continue current operations. If our stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not have the resources to continue our normal operations.

Investors’ ability to transfer the Common Shares may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the Common Shares.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Shares will develop or, if developed, that any such market will be sustained. This could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the Common Shares. In such event, Shareholders may not be able to sell their Common Shares at a given time or at a favorable price.

The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile.

Even if an active trading market for the Common Shares does develop, the market price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including, among other factors: (a) dilution caused by the issuance of additional Common Shares and other forms of equity securities, which the Company expects to make in connection with future capital financings to fund operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies; (b) announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by our competitors; and (c) changes in the social, political and/or legal climate in the regions in which the Company operates. In addition, the market price of the Common Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other factors: (i) quarterly variations in revenues and operating expenses; (ii) changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies; and (iii) changes in analysts’ estimates affecting the Company, competitors and/or the industry. In the aggregate, these circumstances may result in material adverse changes to the market price of the Common Shares and/or results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    20


Our level of indebtedness may increase and reduce our financial flexibility.

We are currently indebted under our credit facilities and we may incur additional indebtedness under the credit facilities or otherwise in the future. We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our cash, bank indebtedness and long-term debt. Debt issued at variable rates exposes us to cash flow interest rate risk. Debt issued at fixed rates exposes us to fair value interest rate risk. Our borrowings, current and future, will require interest payments and need to be repaid or refinanced, could require us to divert funds identified for other purposes to debt service and could create additional cash demands or impair our liquidity position and add financial risk for us. Diverting funds identified for other purposes for debt service may adversely affect our business and growth prospects. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to refinance our debt, dispose of assets, reduce or delay expenditures or issue equity to obtain necessary funds. We do not know whether we would be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

 

   

a significant portion of our cash flows could be used to service our indebtedness;

 

   

the covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, pay dividends and make certain investments;

 

   

our debt covenants may also affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry;

 

   

a high level of debt would increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and therefore may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness would prevent us from pursuing; and

 

   

a high level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions or other purposes.

In addition to our debt service obligations, our operations require material expenditures on a continuing basis. Our ability to make scheduled debt payments, to refinance our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and to fund capital and non-capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of our operating assets and properties, as well as to provide capacity for the growth of our business, depends on our financial and operating performance. General economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and our future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to pay the interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or refinance such debt.

Future offerings of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities that may be senior to our Common Shares for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities or additional offerings of equity securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Common Shares. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing Shareholders or reduce the market price of our Common Shares, or both. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings, and purchasers of our Common Shares bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our Common Shares and diluting their ownership interest in the Company.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    21


Because we can issue additional Common Shares, holders of our Common Shares may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

If we require additional funds in the future and raise such funds by issuing additional equity securities, especially at prices lower than the price of the Common Shares under this Annual Information Form, such financing may dilute the equity interests of our current Shareholders, including purchasers who acquire Common Shares pursuant to this Annual Information Form.

Because it is unlikely that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future, stockholders may only benefit from owning Common Shares if the value of the Common Shares appreciates.

We have never paid dividends on our Common Shares and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his or her investment should not purchase Common Shares.

We are a Canadian company and shareholder protections differ from shareholder protections in the United States and elsewhere.

We are organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada and, accordingly, are governed by the OBCA. The OBCA differs in certain material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and Shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers and similar arrangements, takeovers, Shareholders’ suits, indemnification of directors and inspection of corporation records.

We incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company and our current resources may not be sufficient to fulfill our public company obligations.

We incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses as a result of being a public company, which may negatively impact our performance and could cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer. Compliance with applicable securities laws in Canada and the rules of the TSX substantially increases our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and makes some activities more time-consuming and costly. Reporting obligations as a public company and our anticipated growth may place a strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as our personnel.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Because of our inherent limitations and the fact that we are a public company and are implementing additional financial control and management systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A failure to prevent or detect errors or misstatements may result in a decline in the market price of our Common Shares and harm our ability to raise capital in the future.

If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could harm our business and cause a decline in the price of our Common Shares. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in the market price of our Common Shares and harm our ability to raise capital. Delisting of our Common Shares on any exchange would reduce the liquidity of the market for our Common Shares, which would reduce the price of and increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Shares.

 

AKUMIN INC    |    Annual Information Form    |    2018    22


We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of certain persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be materially adversely effected, which could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn could result in a reduction in the trading price of the Common Shares.

Our senior management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business.

The individuals who now constitute our senior management team have relatively limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies compared to senior management of other publicly traded companies. Our senior management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under Canadian securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavourable research about our business, our Common Share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts may discontinue research on our Company. If no securities or industry analysts continue coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, the market price of our Common Shares would likely be negatively impacted. Moreover, if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of the investor community, or one or more of the analysts who cover our Company downgrades our Common Shares or publishes unfavourable research about our business, our Common Share price could decline.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form may prove to be incorrect.

There can be no assurance that any estimates and assumptions contained in this Annual Information Form will prove to be correct. Actual results of the Company in the future may vary significantly from the historical and estimated results and those variations may be material. There is no representation by us that actual results achieved by the Company in the future will be the same, in whole or in part, as those included in this Annual Information Form. See “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Dividends and Distributions

Neither the Company nor either of its predecessors has declared or paid any dividends on their Common Shares since the date of their amalgamation or incorporation. The Company intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not expect to pay dividends or to make any other distributions in the near future. The Board will review this policy from time to time having regard to the Company’s financing requirements, financial condition and other factors considered to be relevant.

Description of Capital Structure

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value. The following describes our issued and outstanding share capital as well as the material terms of our share capital. The following description may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of our articles (“Articles”).

Common Shares

As at December 31, 2018, there were 62,371,275 Common Shares issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable.

Those Common Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018 exclude the following:

 

  (i)

4,213,268 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 4,213,268 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2018, of which, subject to vesting and the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, 2,025,268 stock options are exerciseable at an exercise price of $0.50 and 2,188,000 stock options are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.74;

 

  (ii)

1,120,656 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 1,120,656 RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2018;4 and

 

  (iii)

1,249,512 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 1,249,512 warrants to purchase Common Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2018, which are exercisable for Common Shares in accordance with their respective terms at a weighted average exercise price of $3.54 per Common Share.5

If all stock options, RSUs and warrants outstanding as at December 31, 2018 were vested and exercised, the Company would issue an additional 6,583,436 Common Shares, or 10.56% of our Common Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018, and the Company would receive $13,614,952. None of stock options, RSUs or warrants are transferrable prior to their exercise for Common Shares, except that stock options and RSUs may, in accordance with the terms of their respective plans, may be transferred to permitted assigns of the respective holder that are related to or Controlled by such holder.

Audit Committee

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of three directors, all of whom are persons determined by our Board to be both independent directors and financially literate within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 — Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Our Audit Committee is comprised of Tom Davies, who acts as chair of this committee, Murray Lee and James Webb.

In the form set forth in Appendix A, our Board has adopted a written charter which outlines the purpose, composition, authority and responsibility of our Audit Committee, consistent with NI 52-110. The Audit Committee will assist our Board in discharging its oversight of:

 

   

the quality and integrity of our financial statements and related information;

 

   

the independence, qualifications and appointment of our external auditor;

 

   

our disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and management’s responsibility for assessing and reporting on the effectiveness of such controls;

Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions

We are, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings, regulatory actions and investigations of a nature considered normal to our business. We believe that none of the litigation in which we are currently involved, or have been involved since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations, nor are any such proceedings known by us to be contemplated. See further discussion under “Risk Factors” above.

Prior to our acquisition of Akumin Texas, PIC, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akumin Texas which was merged into Akumin Texas effective September 30, 2017, was the subject of an investigation by the DOJ premised upon an allegation that PIC and its affiliates violated U.S. federal law by performing and billing for certain imaging services without on-site physician supervision. In or about June, 2016, PIC entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations, which included PIC paying $3,510,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a CIA with the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Also, prior to our acquisition of the imaging centers operated by Rose Radiology, Rose Radiology (through its predecessor, Rose Radiology Centers, Inc.) was the subject of an investigation by the DOJ premised upon allegations that Rose Radiology violated the False Claims Act for billing Medicare for ineligible procedures and certain other healthcare laws. Upon our acquisition of Rose Radiology’s assets, Rose Radiology, a physician-owned radiology practice, retained Akumin as its manager for administrative and other non-clinical matters. In or about December, 2015, Rose Radiology entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations which included Rose Radiology paying $8,710,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a CIA. Rose Radiology’s CIA expires December 29, 2020.

Interests of Management and Others in Material Transactions

There are no material interests, direct or indirect, of any of our directors or executive officers, any Shareholder that beneficially owns or Controls or directs (directly or indirectly) more than 10% of any class or series of our outstanding voting securities, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, in any transaction within the three years before the date hereof that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect us or any of our subsidiaries.

Credit Agreement

On August 15, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of institutional lenders. The Credit Agreement included a term loan credit facility with a principal amount of $100 million and a revolving credit facility of $30 million, both with a maturity date of August 15, 2023. The proceeds of the term loan credit facility were used to repay our prior senior credit facility with a principal amount outstanding of approximately $74.6 million and to finance the purchase price for the centers operated by Rose Radiology of approximately $25 million. As at December 31, 2018, the principal amount of $11.9 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were applied to acquire five imaging centers, in two separate transactions, in November, 2018. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured against all of the assets of the Company and its managed radiology practices, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants customary for credit facilities of this nature, including restrictions on the Company, subject to certain exceptions, to incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge, amalgamate or consolidate with other companies, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, liquidate or dissolve, engage in any material business other than incidental to its current business, make investments, acquisitions, loans, advances or guarantees, make any restricted payments, enter into transactions with affiliates, repay indebtedness, enter into restrictive agreements, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, ensure pension plan compliance, sell or discount receivables, enter into agreements with unconditional purchase obligations, issue shares, create or acquire a subsidiary or make any hostile acquisitions. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, and no material breach of such agreement has occurred or been waived.

Purchase of Rose Radiology

(2)

The Committee shall discharge its responsibilities, and shall assess the information provided by the Company’s management and the external advisers, in accordance with its business judgment. Members are entitled to rely, absent knowledge to the contrary, on the integrity of the persons and organizations from whom they receive information, and on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. Nothing in this Charter is intended or may be construed as imposing on any member of the Committee or the Board a standard of care or diligence that is in any way more onerous or extensive than the standard to which the directors are subject under applicable law.

 

(3)

The Committee also has the authority to communicate directly with internal and external auditors. While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate or comply with IFRS and other applicable requirements. These are the responsibilities of the senior executives of the Company responsible for such matters and the external auditors. The Committee, the Chair and any Members identified as having accounting or related financial expertise are members of the Board, appointed to the Committee to provide broad oversight of the financial, risk and control related activities of the Company, and are specifically not accountable or responsible for the day to day operation or performance of such activities. Although the designation of a Member as having accounting or related financial expertise for disclosure purposes is based on that individual’s education and experience, which that individual will bring to bear in carrying out his or her duties on the Committee, such designation does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and Board in the absence of such designation. Rather, the role of a Member who is identified as having accounting or related financial expertise, like the role of all Members, is to oversee the process, not to certify or guarantee the internal or external audit of the Company’s financial information or public disclosure. This Charter is not intended to change or interpret the constating documents of the Company or applicable law or stock exchange rule to which the Company is subject, and this Charter should be interpreted in a manner consistent with all such applicable laws and rules.

 

(4)

The Board may, from time to time, permit departures from the terms of this Charter, either prospectively or retrospectively. This Charter is not intended to give rise to civil liability on the part of the Company or its Directors or officers to shareholders, security holders, customers, suppliers, competitors, employees or other persons, or to any other liability whatsoever on their part.

Section 8 Review of Charter. The Committee shall periodically, and at least annually, review and assess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for consideration.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q4 Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2018 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “The quarter ending December 31, 2018 represents another fiscal quarter of solid financial performance with revenue of $45.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million, in line with management’s expectations. If the acquisitions completed during Q4 Fiscal 2018 occurred at the beginning of the quarter, the Adjusted EBITDA would have been approximately $10 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q4 Fiscal 2018 was approximately 1,020,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 850,000 RVUs in Q3 Fiscal 2018. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services.

“The Corporation has experienced significant growth in the year-ended December 31, 2018 relative to the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA has almost doubled from $16.6 million to $31.8 million, while diluted Adjusted EPS has more than doubled from $0.09 to $0.20.”

The Corporation’s number of diagnostic imaging facilities as at December 31, 2018 throughout the United States was 95, compared to 74 as at December 31, 2017.

Akumin would like to remind interested parties of the Corporation’s Fiscal 2018 Financial Results Call, to be held today from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation.


Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2018 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and Kansas. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated March 29, 2019 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, and gains (losses) in the period and one-time adjustments.

Akumin to acquire approximately US$30.3 million of EBITDA

through expansion in Florida and Georgia

April 15, 2019 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU, AKU.U) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today that it has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Akumin Corp., entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (“ADG”), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers are managed by ADG’s management team. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, Akumin would acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Targets”).

The total purchase price for the Targets is approximately US$214 million of which US$25 million would be satisfied by the issuance of Akumin shares at a price of US$4.00 per share. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs and expenses. Closing of the transactions is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Collectively, the Targets produced an adjusted EBITDA of approximately US$30.3 million on a last twelve months’ basis as at December 31, 2018.

In connection with the acquisition of the Targets, Akumin also announced that it has entered into a binding commitment letter with BBVA Compass and BBVA Securities Inc. (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders would provide Akumin Corp. with credit facilities totaling US$380 million, of which US$330 million would be advanced as a term facility and US$50 million would be a revolver to be used primarily to fund future acquisitions. The proceeds of the term loan would be used to refinance approximately US$112 million of Akumin’s existing debt and to finance US$189 million of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of the Targets, with the balance to be used for other potential acquisitions in the future.

“This acquisition will diversify our business offering by adding an established personal injury business to our network. We are excited to have Kevin Johnson, ADG’s Co-founder and CEO, and his team join our family,” said Riadh Zine, Akumin’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also excited to have Dr. Richard Sarner, the Co-Founder and Medical Director of The Imaging Centers of West Palm, continue his role with Akumin.”

“In addition to becoming a shareholder of Akumin, Kevin will lead our personal injury business across the company to further expand our personal injury footprint across all of our markets. We also expect to optimize some of our existing Akumin centers as personal injury focused centers operating under the Advanced Diagnostics Group banner.”

“With these transactions we also enter the Georgia market,” Mr. Zine continued, “where we can leverage our expertise in a ‘certificate of need’ market and develop a new core geography for Akumin.”


About the Targets

Advanced Diagnostic Group operates 14 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers across Florida, each as an independent diagnostic testing facility, with a particular focus on personal injury imaging. In 2018, ADG’s management team took over management of The Imaging Centers of West Palm, which operates 7 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in South Florida. ADG’s management team has also expanded in Georgia with SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, which has the exclusive right to manage the non-clinical and administrative affairs of Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC, a physician-owned practice which operates four outpatient diagnostic imaging centers and expects to have two additional centers operating in the Atlanta, Georgia area prior to closing of the transactions.

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and Kansas. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients.

(1)

Within 120 days following the Closing Date (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser in writing), the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a draft consolidated statement (the “Draft Closing Statement”), together with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation used in the preparation thereof, of its good faith calculations of (a) Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”), (b) Indebtedness (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (c) Transaction Costs (the “Closing Transaction Costs”), and (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents”), in each case calculated as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. The Draft Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies and shall include reasonable detail on the computation of its contents.

 

(2)

The Sellers’ Representative shall have 15 Business Days to review the Draft Closing Statement following receipt of it and the Sellers’ Representative must notify the Purchaser in writing if it has any objections to the Draft Closing Statement within such 15 Business Day period. The notice of objection must contain a statement of the basis of each of the objections and each amount in dispute. The Purchaser shall provide access, upon every reasonable request, to the Sellers’ Representative and its auditors, to all work papers of the Purchaser, accounting books and records and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Closing Statement.

 

(3)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection of the Draft Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.6(2), the Parties shall promptly meet to try to resolve such objections within 20 Business Days following receipt of the notice. Failing resolution of any objection to the Draft Closing Statement raised by the Sellers’ Representative, only the amount(s) in dispute will be submitted for determination to an impartial independent firm of certified public accountants mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser (and, failing such agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser within a further period of 5 Business Days, such independent firm of certified public accountants will be Deloitte LLP, or if such firm is unable to act, Grant Thornton LLP) (the “Independent Accountants”). The Independent Accountants shall identify a member at an office located in Florida to act in such mandate and shall determine the procedures applicable to the resolution of the amounts in dispute with the primary purposes of minimizing expenses of the Parties and expediting the accurate resolution of the dispute. The determination of the Independent Accountants of the amount(s) in dispute and any corresponding changes flowing from the resolution of such amounts in dispute shall be based on the terms of this Agreement only, will be final and binding upon the Parties and will not be subject to appeal, absent manifest error. The Independent Accountants are deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators.

 

- 19 -


(4)

If the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any objection within the 15 Business Day period, the Sellers are deemed to have accepted and approved the Draft Closing Statement and such Draft Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error and will become the “Closing Statement” on the next Business Day following the end of such 15 Business Day period.

 

(5)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection in accordance with Section 2.6(2), the Parties shall revise the Draft Closing Statement to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections under Section 2.6(3) within five (5) Business Days following such final resolution or determination. Such revised Draft Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Draft Closing Statement will become the “Closing Statement” on the next Business Day following revision of the Draft Closing Statement under this Section 2.6(5).

 

(6)

The Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective auditors, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Statement. In the case of a dispute and the retention of the Independent Accountants to determine such amount(s) in dispute, the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be borne by the Sellers and the Purchasers in such proportions as the positions taken by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser are unsuccessful when compared to the Closing Statement, as determined by the Independent Accountants. However, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own costs in presenting their respective cases to the Independent Accountants.

 

(7)

The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.6 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement is the sole and exclusive method of resolving such disputes, absent manifest error. This Section 2.6(7) will not prohibit any Party from instigating litigation to compel specific performance of this Section 2.6(7) or to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountants.

Section 2.7 Closing Adjustment.

 

(1)

The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent that the Closing Payment Amount, as determined from the Closing Statement, (“Final Closing Payment Amount”) is more or less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount.

 

(2)

If the Final Closing Payment Amount is more than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount, then, within five Business Days after the Draft Closing Statement becomes the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.6(4) or Section 2.6(5), as the case may be, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such difference as an increase to the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Sellers and the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed certificate or joint instruction letter as required under the Escrow Agreement, certifying the release of the Working Capital Escrow Amount to the Sellers from the Working Capital Escrow Fund.

 

- 20 -


(3)

If the Final Closing Payment Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay the amount of such difference as a decrease to the Purchase Price to the Purchaser. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall, within five Business Days after the Draft Closing Statement becomes the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.6(4) or Section 2.6(5), as the case may be, deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed certificate or joint instruction letter as required under the Escrow Agreement, certifying (i) the amount of the payment to be made to the Purchaser from the Working Capital Escrow Fund, and (ii) the release of the balance of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, if any, to the Sellers from the Working Capital Escrow Fund.

Section 2.8 No Effect on Other Rights.

The determination and adjustment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of this Article will not limit or affect any other rights or causes of action either the Purchaser or the Sellers may have with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in its favor contained in this Agreement.

- 68 -

  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 3.1(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.1(c) (Required Authorizations), Section 3.1(e) (Authorized and Issued Capital), Section 3.1(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.1(ll) (No Brokers), Section 3.2(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.2(b) (Authorization), Section 3.2(e) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 3.2(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.2(g) (Title to Purchased Interest), and Section 3.2(i) (No Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations of Sellers”);

- 71 -


(2)

The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from the Purchaser or Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(1)(a) unless a written notice of claim is delivered to Purchaser or Parent by the Sellers’ Representative, in its capacity as the representative of (and on behalf of) the Sellers and the Seller Indemnified Parties:

 

  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 4.1(a) (Formation and Corporate Power), Section 4.1(b) (Corporate Authorization), Section 4.1(d) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 4.1(l) (No Brokers), Section 4.2(a) (Formation and Corporate Power) and Section 4.2(b) (Corporate Authorization; Valid Issuance of Consideration Shares); or

 

  (b)

at any time on or before the General Survival Date, in respect of all other representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Parent.

 

(3)

Subject to Section 9.5(4), none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages under Section 9.3(1)(a) until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount. Subject to Section 9.5(4), once the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages above such Threshold Amount up to the Retention Amount, which amounts shall be satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Fund; provided that the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages up to the Retention Amount (including such amounts below the Threshold Amount) in respect of any Damages relating to claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for a breach of any Healthcare Compliance Representations.

  (a)

for a breach of the Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes); provided, however, for purposes of clarity and the avoidance of doubt, none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages due to Section 9.3(1)(a), which includes a breach of any Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes), until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount;

 

  (b)

pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(b) through Section 9.3(1)(f); or

 

  (c)

- 72 -


(5)

In respect of those claims set out in Section 9.5(4), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all Damages relating to such claims up to an aggregate maximum amount equal to the Closing Payment less the amount the Purchaser shall have recovered from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereunder.

 

(6)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum liability of each Seller or Principal to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the payment of Damages attributable to all claims asserted against such Seller or Principal pursuant to Section 9.3(1) and Section 9.3(2) shall, in the aggregate, not at any time exceed such Seller’s or Principal’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price, as set forth on Schedule A, irrespective of such Seller’s or Principal’s right to pursue, or ultimate success in pursuing, a claim of contribution for all or any portion of such Damages from one or more other parties, including but not limited to one or more other Sellers or Principals.

 

(7)

[Reserved.]

 

(8)

For purposes of determining the amount of any indemnification obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Damages, appropriate reductions shall be made to reflect (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy) with respect to such Damages (net of any expenses related to the receipt of such payment, including prospective and retrospective premium adjustments, if any, occasioned by such Damages), and (ii) any Tax benefit realizable by such Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as a result of the Damages giving rise to such indemnification obligation. In the event an insurance recovery relating to an indemnification payment is received after the Sellers or the Principals, on the one hand, or the Escrow Agent, on the other hand, has made an indemnification payment under this Agreement that did not take into account such insurance recovery, or a Purchaser Indemnified Party realizes Tax benefits in respect of any Damages after such Damages are indemnified by the Sellers and/or the Principals, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, for further distribution to the Sellers and/or the Principals, or the Escrow Agent (to the extent the indemnification payment was made from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Indemnity Escrow Fund is still active), on the other hand, the portion of the applicable indemnity payment such Purchaser Indemnified Party would not have been entitled to had such recovery or realization occurred prior to the making of the applicable indemnity payment.

 

(9)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers and their respective Principals shall not have any liability under this Agreement with respect to (and Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid) (a) any Taxes that were taken into account in the Closing Statement, (b) Taxes incurred by the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates as a result of actions outside the Ordinary Course of business taken after the Closing on the Closing Date, (c) any Taxes as a result of Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s) breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 10.3 or (d) Taxes of any Purchased Company incurred with respect to a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 9.6 Notification of and Procedure for Claims.

 

(1)

If a Third Party Claim is instituted or asserted against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim, which notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and attach all documentation received in connection with the Third Party Claim.

 

(2)

The omission to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, unless the notification occurs after the expiration of the specified period set out in Section 9.5 or (and only to that extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

(3)

Subject to the terms of this Section 9.6, upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim and may also elect to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim.

 

(4)

The Indemnifying Party may not assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim if:

 

  (a)

the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest;

 

  (b)

the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim;

 

  (c)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, the estimated amount of likely Damages in connection with such claim is greater than the unused portion of the maximum liability the Indemnifying Party is liable for as set out in Section 9.5;

 

  (d)

subject to Section 9.6(6), the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes unless the assessment or reassessment relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period;

 

  (e)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, such claim involves material reputational risks to the Indemnified Person; or

 

  (f)

the Third Party Claim seeks only an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person other than monetary damages and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates and the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party that it will exercise its right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim.

 

- 74 -


(5)

In order to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election within 15 calendar days of Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim and shall comply with the procedures set out in Schedule 9.6(5).

 

(6)

In addition to the foregoing, if the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes, the following additional rules shall also apply:

 

  (a)

if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes then the Indemnifying Party shall provide to the Indemnified Person in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnified Person and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Person with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof;

 

  (b)

to the extent payment has not already been made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person, should the Indemnified Person be required by the relevant assessing authority to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim, forthwith upon request therefor, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay to such Governmental Entity. Should the Indemnifying Party fail to pay such amount within 30 calendar days after receipt of written request from the Indemnified Person to do so, the right of the Indemnifying Party to control the contesting of such Third Party Claim will cease;

 

  (c)

Within 10 calendar days of a final determination of such Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the full amount owing to the Indemnified Person, to the extent that such amounts have not been previously paid to the Indemnified Person; and

 

  (d)

If the Third Party Claim relates to Taxes in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and the investigation and defense of such Third Party Claim is assumed by the Indemnified Person, then Indemnified Person shall provide to the Indemnifying Party in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnifying Party and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall consult with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof and the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

- 75 -


Section 9.7 Adjustment to Purchase Price.

Any payment made by the Sellers or Principals as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Purchase Price and any payment made by the Purchaser or the Parent as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Purchase Price.

Section 9.8 Recovery Against Sellers.

 

(1)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5, each indemnification obligation of any Seller and its Principals under Section 9.5(4) shall be satisfied (i) first from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, until the complete depletion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, (ii) then from the R&W Insurance Policy until the limit of liability has been reached under the R&W Insurance Policy. Thereafter, provided that neither the Purchaser nor Parent shall under any circumstances be obligated to undergo any issuer bid that is not exempt from Part 2 of National Instrument 62-104 (such as the employee, executive officer, director and consultant exemption) or to undergo any other regulatory or statutory process that would materially implicate the rights of all holders of Parent Common Shares or requires any approval by holders of Parent Common Shares, all indemnification obligations of any particular Seller and its Principals shall be satisfied first by liquidation of such Seller’s Consideration Shares, if any, unless such Seller elects to satisfy some or all of such indemnification obligation with cash, and thereafter from cash payable by such Seller or the Principals of such Seller, as applicable. In the event Consideration Shares are to be liquidated pursuant to this Section 9.8, the Purchaser, at its option, may arrange for the purchase of the Consideration Shares by a third party purchaser (a “Third Party Sale”), provided that the purchase price for such Third Party Sale shall not be less than the greater of (i) cost and (ii) fair market value of such Consideration Shares, where fair market value shall be based on enterprise value without discounting for minority interests or lack of alienability on behalf of such Seller. If, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, neither a Third Party Sale nor the repurchase of the Consideration Shares by the Purchaser is feasible for any reason, or, in either case, if the purchase price available for such Consideration Shares is below cost, the Purchaser would then be entitled to enforce its claim directly against such Seller and its Principals.

 

(2)

On the date of the General Survival Date, an amount equal to the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Fund minus the aggregate amount, if any, which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has claimed under this Article 9 on or prior to such date (to the extent such claims, if any, remain unresolved) (any such claim, a “Remaining Indemnity Claim”) shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative on such date for further distribution to the Sellers, and the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment. Following the final resolution of any Remaining Indemnity Claim, if the Indemnity Escrow Fund exceeds the aggregate amount, if any, which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has claimed under this Article 9 with respect to Remaining Indemnity Claims that remain unresolved, the excess Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative on such date, and the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment.

 

- 76 -


(3)

In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article 9 or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Damages arising from such breach.

Section 9.9 Exclusive Remedy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except for (a) Fraud (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement (including any survival periods, any limitations on remedies or recoveries, any disclaimers of reliance or any similar limitations or disclaimers) or elsewhere shall limit or restrict any Indemnified Person’s rights or ability to maintain any action against, or recover any amounts from, any Person in connection with any Fraud committed by such Person); (b) rights contained in, and disputes with respect to matters governed by Section 2.6 and Section 10.3 (which items shall be resolved solely in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth therein); and (c) a Party’s right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.6, (i) the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9; and (ii) each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against any Indemnifying Party arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9.

ARTICLE 10

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

Section 10.1 Access to Books and Records.

For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall retain all original Books and Records relating to any Purchased Company that are part of the Books and Records existing on the Closing Date. During such six (6) year period, the Sellers shall have the right to inspect and to make copies (at its own expense) of them at any time upon reasonable request during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice for any proper purpose and without undue interference to the business operations of the Purchased Companies. The Purchaser shall have the right to have its representatives present during any such inspection.

 

- 77 -


Section 10.2 Confidentiality.

Each Seller and Principal hereby acknowledges that each is in possession of proprietary information in connection with the Business, the Assets and the Purchased Companies (“Confidential Information”). Each Seller and Principal shall and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to keep confidential and shall not use for any improper purpose or disclose to any other Person any Confidential Information, unless such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Agreement. In the event any Seller or Principal is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller or Principal shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, provide the Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirements so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.2. Each Seller and Principal agrees that such obligation of confidentiality continues after the Closing Date and, subject to Section 10.1, upon request of the Purchaser, after the Closing, it shall return to Purchaser or cause to be destroyed all Confidential Information in its possession or control. To the extent that any Seller or Principal is an employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after Closing, such Seller or Principal shall, during the term of its, his or her employment or engagement, be permitted to use Confidential Information only in the performance of duties in such employment or consulting capacity, except to the extent otherwise provided in any related employment, consulting or other agreement between such Seller or Principal, on the one hand, and the Company or its Affiliate, on the other hand.

The Sellers shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all federal income Tax Returns of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and all Florida franchise Tax Returns and Florida ad valorem Tax Returns of the Company for the Straddle Period. Such returns shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with applicable Laws and the past practices and procedures of the relevant entity. The Sellers shall provide drafts of all such Tax Returns to the Purchaser at least 30 calendar days before the applicable Tax Return becomes due, and the Purchaser shall have 15 calendar days following the receipt of any such Tax Return to provide the Sellers with written notice of any disputed items therein.

The Purchaser shall provide drafts of all such Tax Returns to the Sellers at least thirty (30) calendar days before the applicable Tax Return becomes due, and the Sellers shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following the receipt of any such Tax Return to provide Purchaser with written notice of any disputed items therein.

In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

 

  (a)

in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and

 

  (b)

in the case of Taxes not described in (a) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or Taxes that are based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

 

(4)

The Seller and the Purchaser will co-operate fully and assist each other and make available to each other in a timely fashion all data and other information as may reasonably be required for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Purchased Companies and will preserve that data and other information until the expiration of any applicable limitation period for maintaining books and records under any applicable Tax Law with respect to such Tax Returns.

(6)

Any credits, refunds and other recoveries of any Taxes of any Purchased Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period), shall belong to the Sellers and be paid to them promptly upon any credit thereof to, or receipt or recovery thereof by, Purchaser, any Purchased Company or any of their Affiliates. If requested by the Sellers’ Representative, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each Purchased Company to, reasonably cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative in filing any Tax Return necessary to claim such Tax credits or refunds (including filing amended Tax Returns).

To the extent not completed prior to Closing, from and after Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Sellers’ auditors, BDO, Certified Public Accountants, to, provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary or desirable to the Purchaser for the preparation and review of the interim financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the 3-month period ending March 31, 2019 and the 6-month period ending June 30, 2019.

Section 10.4 Further Assurances.

Section 10.5 R&W Insurance Policy.

The Purchaser shall not consent to any amendment, waiver, cancellation or modification to the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative. The insurance provider under the R&W Insurance Policy shall have no subrogation right, entitlement of privilege, or any recourse whatsoever, against the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise, except in the case of Fraud, in which case the insurance provider shall be entitled to subrogate or otherwise pursue, seek damages or recovery from or against the Sellers in accordance with the R&W Insurance Policy (but only to the extent the damages in respect of which the applicable payment under the R&W Insurance Policy was made to the Purchaser is caused by the Fraud of the Sellers). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither any revocation, waiver, cancellation or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy after the Closing Date, nor any inability of, nor any denial by the provider of the R&W Insurance Policy, to pay any Damages contemplated by the R&W Insurance Policy, shall result in liability under Article 9 to the Sellers or Principals which is in excess of the liability of the Sellers or Principals contemplated under Article 9.

Section 10.6 D&O Liability and Indemnification.

 

(1)

The Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation (and advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company (each, a “D&O Indemnitee”), as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect and that the Purchased Companies will perform and discharge the Purchased Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the Closing. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and each Purchased Company shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational

 

- 80 -


  Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Purchased Companies’ Organizational Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, employees or agents of any Purchased Company, unless such modification is required by Law.

 

(2)

The Sellers shall purchase and maintain in effect beginning on the Closing and for a period of six (6) years thereafter without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (including any policy providing coverage for combined fiduciary and employment practices liability) for the benefit of those D&O Indemnitees who are covered by any Purchased Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Purchased Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof; provided that the Sellers may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

 

(3)

The directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 10.6 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.6. This Section 10.6 shall survive the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Purchased Companies.

Section 10.7 Company Leases.

In the event [Redacted—Personal Information—Company Leases] remains a guarantor under any Lease from and after Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, obtaining any consent or amendment, to fully remove [Redacted—Personal Information—Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguish any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement. In the event [Redacted—Personal Information—Company Leases] is not removed as a guarantor under a Lease, such Lease may not be amended, extended or renewed (unless such amendment, extension or renewal fully removes [Redacted—Personal Information—Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguishes any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement) without [Redacted—Personal Information—Company Leases] prior written consent.

Section 10.8 Assignment of Consideration Shares

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Ancillary Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Lock-Up Agreements entered into by the Sellers, from and after the Closing until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreements), any one or more of the Sellers shall have the right, subject to all applicable Laws and Parent’s insider trading policy, to contribute and transfer any or all of the Consideration Shares received by such Seller to a holding entity owned and controlled by such Seller or Sellers, which such contribution and transfer shall be deemed a permitted transfer under the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements. Upon such contribution and transfer, the applicable Sellers shall provide notice to Parent and Parent shall update its books and records to reflect the holding entity as the beneficial and record holder of such shares.

Section 10 Reasonableness.

The Restricted Party expressly acknowledges that the agreements and covenants provided by Restricted Party in this Agreement are essential to protect the value of the Business and such covenants and agreements contained herein are a material and substantial part of the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (supported by adequate consideration) and are a material inducement to the Purchaser’s agreement to consummate the Transaction. The Restricted Party further acknowledges that this Agreement is reasonable and valid in all respects and irrevocably waives (and irrevocably agrees not to raise) as a defense any issue of reasonableness (including the reasonableness of the Territory or the duration and scope of this Agreement) in any proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the intention of the Parties being to provide for the legitimate and reasonable protection of the interests of the Targets by providing, without limitation, for the broadest scope, the longest duration and the widest territory allowable by law. The Restricted Party agrees not to challenge or raise any equitable defenses to the enforceability of the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement.

Section 11 2[Enforcement of Covenants.

The Restricted Party shall, at its own expense, take all lawful and reasonably necessary actions, including the institution of legal proceedings, to prevent or stop any violation, contravention or breach of this Agreement by any of its representatives or agents. In the absence of such action by the Restricted Party, the Purchaser may take such reasonably necessary action in its own name and the Restricted Party shall be subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9.]

Section 12 Notification.

The Restricted Party shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any violation, contravention or breach of this Agreement as soon as it becomes aware of any such event.

Section 13 Equitable Remedies.

In the event of a violation, contravention, breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Restricted Party, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that the applicable Target’s remedy at law for any breach of the covenants contained herein would be inadequate and such Target is entitled to both temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond. The right of the Target to injunctive relief is in addition to any and all other remedies available to it and will not prevent it from pursuing, either consecutively or concurrently, any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to it including the recovery of monetary damages.

Section 14 Notices.

(8)

Severance/Reformation. In the event that a court or appointed arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision shall be reduced, modified or otherwise conformed to the relevant law, judgment or determination to the degree necessary to render it valid and enforceable without affecting the rest of this Agreement. If after applying the provisions of the preceding sentence, any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

(9)

Schedule 9.6(5)

Third Party Claim Procedure

 

(1)

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim:

 

  (a)

the Indemnifying Party shall pay for all reasonable costs and expenses of the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense (or has cured the failure to diligently conduct the defense within 14 calendar days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Person or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal), be liable to the Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim, incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date the Indemnifying Party exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim;

 

  (b)

the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim;

 

  (c)

the Indemnified Person shall not, other than with respect to Third Party Claims in respect of Taxes, contact or communicate with the Person making the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless required by applicable Law;

 

  (d)

legal counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim must be satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, acting reasonably; and

 

  (e)

the Indemnifying Party may not compromise and settle or remedy, or cause a compromise and settlement or remedy, of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if, pursuant to, or as a result of such compromise, settlement or remedy, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to the claim that gave rise to the Third Party Claim.

 

(2)

If the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim under Section 9.6(4) of the Agreement, (ii) does not elect to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, or (iii) assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim but fails to diligently pursue such defense, or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person has the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim. In the case

 

Schedule 9.6(5)


  where the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently pursue the defense of the Third Party Claim, or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person may not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnifying Party written demand to diligently pursue the defense and the Indemnifying Party fails to do so within 14 calendar days after receipt of the demand, or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal.

 

(3)

If, under Section 9.6 of the Agreement, the Indemnified Person undertakes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may compromise and settle the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim effected without its consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(4)

The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party agree to keep each other fully informed of the status of any Third Party Claim and any related proceedings and to use their reasonable efforts to minimize Damages with respect to any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, use its reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, on a timely basis, those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in investigating and defending the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, make available to the Indemnifying Party, or its representatives, on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession, control or power of the Indemnified Person, reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for its use solely in defending any Third Party Claim which it has elected to assume the investigation and defense of. The Indemnified Person shall cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim.

Section 2.7 Preparation of Closing Statement.

 

(1)

Within 120 days following the Closing Date (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser in writing), the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a draft consolidated statement (the “Draft Closing Statement”), together with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation used in the preparation thereof, of its good faith calculations of (a) Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”), (b) Indebtedness (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (c) Transaction Costs (the “Closing Transaction Costs”), and (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents”), in each case calculated as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. The Draft Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies and shall include reasonable detail on the computation of its contents.

 

(2)

The Sellers’ Representative shall have 15 Business Days to review the Draft Closing Statement following receipt of it and the Sellers’ Representative must notify the Purchaser in writing if it has any objections to the Draft Closing Statement within such 15 Business Day period. The notice of objection must contain a statement of the basis of each of the objections and each amount in dispute. The Purchaser shall provide access, upon every reasonable request, to the Sellers’ Representative and its auditors, to all work papers of the Purchaser, accounting books and records and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Closing Statement.

 

(3)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection of the Draft Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.7(2), the Parties shall promptly meet to try to resolve such objections within 20 Business Days following receipt of the notice. Failing resolution of any objection to the Draft Closing Statement raised by the Sellers’ Representative, only the amount(s) in dispute will be submitted for determination to an impartial independent firm of certified public accountants mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser (and, failing such agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser within a further period of 5 Business Days, such independent firm of certified public accountants will be Deloitte LLP, or if such firm is unable to act, Grant Thornton LLP) (the “Independent Accountants”). The Independent Accountants shall identify a member at an office located in Georgia to act in such mandate and shall determine the procedures applicable to the resolution of the amounts in dispute with the primary purposes of minimizing expenses of the Parties and expediting the accurate resolution of the dispute. The determination of the Independent Accountants of the amount(s) in dispute and any corresponding changes flowing from the resolution of such amounts in dispute shall be based on the terms of this Agreement only, will be final and binding upon the Parties and will not be subject to appeal, absent manifest error. The Independent Accountants are deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators.

 

- 19 -


(4)

If the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any objection within the 15 Business Day period, the Sellers are deemed to have accepted and approved the Draft Closing Statement and such Draft Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error and will become the “Closing Statement” on the next Business Day following the end of such 15 Business Day period.

 

(5)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection in accordance with Section 2.7(3), the Parties shall revise the Draft Closing Statement to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections under Section 2.7(3) within five (5) Business Days following such final resolution or determination. Such revised Draft Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Draft Closing Statement will become the “Closing Statement” on the next Business Day following revision of the Draft Closing Statement under this Section 2.7(5).

 

(6)

The Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective auditors, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Statement. In the case of a dispute and the retention of the Independent Accountants to determine such amount(s) in dispute, the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be borne by the Sellers and the Purchasers in such proportions as the positions taken by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser are unsuccessful when compared to the Closing Statement, as determined by the Independent Accountants. However, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own costs in presenting their respective cases to the Independent Accountants.

 

(7)

The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.7 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement is the sole and exclusive method of resolving such disputes, absent manifest error. This Section 2.7(7) will not prohibit any Party from instigating litigation to compel specific performance of this Section 2.7(7) or to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountants.

Section 2.8 Closing Adjustment.

 

(1)

The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent that the Closing Payment Amount, as determined from the Closing Statement, (“Final Closing Payment Amount”) is more or less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount.

 

(2)

If the Final Closing Payment Amount is more than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount, then, within five Business Days after the Draft Closing Statement becomes the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.7(4) or Section 2.7(5), as the case may be, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such difference as an increase to the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Sellers and the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed certificate or joint instruction letter as required under the Escrow Agreement, certifying the release of the Working Capital Escrow Amount to the Sellers from the Working Capital Escrow Fund.

 

- 20 -


(3)

If the Final Closing Payment Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay the amount of such difference as a decrease to the Purchase Price to the Purchaser. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall, within five Business Days after the Draft Closing Statement becomes the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.7(4) or Section 2.7(5), as the case may be, deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed certificate or joint instruction letter as required under the Escrow Agreement, certifying (i) the amount of the payment to be made to the Purchaser from the Working Capital Escrow Fund, and (ii) the release of the balance of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, if any, to the Sellers from the Working Capital Escrow Fund.

Section 2.9 No Effect on Other Rights.

The determination and adjustment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of this Article will not limit or affect any other rights or causes of action either the Purchaser or the Sellers may have with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in its favor contained in this Agreement.

Each Purchased Company has paid all Taxes which are due and payable within the time required by applicable Law, and has paid all assessments and reassessments it has received in respect of Taxes. Each Purchased Company has provided full and adequate provision in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the Financial Statements for all Taxes for periods to which they relate which are not yet due and payable.

  (vii)

No Purchased Company is party to or bound by any tax sharing agreement, tax indemnity obligation in favor of any Person or similar agreement in favor of any Person with respect to Taxes (including any advance pricing agreement or other similar agreement relating to Taxes with any Governmental Entity) other than pursuant to Contracts entered into in the Ordinary Course not primarily related to Taxes.

 

  (viii)

by the Sellers’ Representative if any of the conditions in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied or it becomes reasonably apparent that any of such conditions will not be satisfied by the Closing Date (other than as result of the failure of the Sellers to perform any of their material obligations or covenants under this Agreement) and the Sellers’ Representative has not waived such condition at or prior to Closing and such condition is incapable of being met within 10 calendar days following notice by the Sellers’ Representative;

by either Party if the Closing has not occurred by the end of the day on the Outside Date, provided that a Party may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) if it has failed to perform any one or more of its material obligations or covenants under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to Closing and the Closing has not occurred because of such failure;

 

  (f)

by either Party if after the date of this Agreement any Law is enacted or made (or any Law is amended) that makes the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or enjoins the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Law (if applicable) or enjoinment shall have become final and non-appealable; or

 

  (g)

(1)

Nothing in this Article will be deemed to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by another Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(2)

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, there shall be no liability or obligation hereunder on the part of any Party hereto, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void, except that:

 

  (a)

each Party’s obligations under Section 5.3, this Section 8.2, and Article 11 will survive; and

no Party shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or Damages arising out of any willful and material breach of this Agreement by such Party.

The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Damages from the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) or Section 9.3(2) unless a written notice of claim is delivered by the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parties to the Sellers’ Representative, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers:

 

- 71 -


  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 3.1(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.1(c) (Required Authorizations), Section 3.1(e) (Authorized and Issued Capital), Section 3.1(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.1(ll) (No Brokers), Section 3.2(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.2(b) (Authorization), Section 3.2(e) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 3.2(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.2(g) (Title to Purchased Interest), and Section 3.2(i) (No Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations of Sellers”);

 

  (b)

at any time on or before the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of the applicable period (having regard to any consent, waiver, agreement or other document that extends the period) (the “Tax Assessment Period”) during which any tax assessment may be issued by a Governmental Entity in respect of any taxation year in respect of Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes) and Section 3.2(h) (Residence). A tax assessment includes any assessment, reassessment or other form of recognized document assessing liability for Taxes under applicable Law;

 

  (c)

at any time on or before the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitation period in respect of breaches of the Sellers’ representations in Section 3.1(m) (Compliance with Health Care Laws), which the Sellers had knowledge of prior to Closing (“Healthcare Compliance Representations”); or

 

  (d)

at any time on or before the date that is twelve months after Closing, in respect of all other representations and warranties in respect of the Purchased Companies or the Sellers (including any Healthcare Compliance Representations in respect of which the Sellers did not have knowledge of any breach prior to Closing) (such date, the “General Survival Date”).

 

(2)

The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from the Purchaser or Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(1)(a) unless a written notice of claim is delivered to Purchaser or Parent by the Sellers’ Representative, in its capacity as the representative of (and on behalf of) the Sellers and the Seller Indemnified Parties:

 

  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 4.1(a) (Formation and Corporate Power), Section 4.1(b) (Corporate Authorization), Section 4.1(d) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 4.1(l) (No Brokers), Section 4.2(a) (Formation and Corporate Power) and Section 4.2(b) (Corporate Authorization; Valid Issuance of Consideration Shares); or

 

  (b)

at any time on or before the General Survival Date, in respect of all other representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Parent.

 

(3)

Subject to Section 9.5(4), none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages under Section 9.3(1)(a) until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount. Subject to Section 9.5(4), once the

 

- 72 -


total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages above such Threshold Amount up to the Retention Amount, which amounts shall be satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Fund; provided that the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages up to the Retention Amount (including such amounts below the Threshold Amount) in respect of any Damages relating to claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for a breach of any Healthcare Compliance Representations. Subject to Section 9.5(4), any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party above the Retention Amount will be made solely against the R&W Insurance Policy.

 

(4)

Except as expressly stated herein, the monetary thresholds and limits set out in Section 9.5(3) will not apply to Damages with respect to any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party:

 

  (a)

for a breach of the Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes); provided, however, for purposes of clarity and the avoidance of doubt, none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages due to Section 9.3(1)(a), which includes a breach of any Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes), until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount;

 

  (b)

pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(b) through Section 9.3(1)(f); or

 

  (c)

for Fraud.

 

(5)

In respect of those claims set out in Section 9.5(4), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all Damages relating to such claims up to an aggregate maximum amount equal to the Closing Payment less the amount the Purchaser shall have recovered from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereunder.

 

(6)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum liability of each Seller or Principal to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the payment of Damages attributable to all claims asserted against such Seller or Principal pursuant to Section 9.3(1) and Section 9.3(2) shall, in the aggregate, not at any time exceed such Seller’s or Principal’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price, as set forth on Schedule A, irrespective of such Seller’s or Principal’s right to pursue, or ultimate success in pursuing, a claim of contribution for all or any portion of such Damages from one or more other parties, including but not limited to one or more other Sellers or Principals.

 

(7)

[Reserved.]

 

- 73 -


(8)

For purposes of determining the amount of any indemnification obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Damages, appropriate reductions shall be made to reflect (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy) with respect to such Damages (net of any expenses related to the receipt of such payment, including prospective and retrospective premium adjustments, if any, occasioned by such Damages), and (ii) any Tax benefit realizable by such Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as a result of the Damages giving rise to such indemnification obligation. In the event an insurance recovery relating to an indemnification payment is received after the Sellers or the Principals, on the one hand, or the Escrow Agent, on the other hand, has made an indemnification payment under this Agreement that did not take into account such insurance recovery, or a Purchaser Indemnified Party realizes Tax benefits in respect of any Damages after such Damages are indemnified by the Sellers and/or the Principals, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, for further distribution to the Sellers and/or the Principals, or the Escrow Agent (to the extent the indemnification payment was made from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Indemnity Escrow Fund is still active), on the other hand, the portion of the applicable indemnity payment such Purchaser Indemnified Party would not have been entitled to had such recovery or realization occurred prior to the making of the applicable indemnity payment.

 

(9)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers and their respective Principals shall not have any liability under this Agreement with respect to (and Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid) (a) any Taxes that were taken into account in the Closing Statement, (b) Taxes incurred by the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates as a result of actions outside the Ordinary Course of business taken after the Closing on the Closing Date, (c) any Taxes as a result of Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s) breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 10.3 or (d) Taxes of any Purchased Company incurred with respect to a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 9.6 Notification of and Procedure for Claims.

 

(1)

If a Third Party Claim is instituted or asserted against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim, which notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and attach all documentation received in connection with the Third Party Claim.

 

(2)

The omission to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, unless the notification occurs after the expiration of the specified period set out in Section 9.5 or (and only to that extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

(3)

Subject to the terms of this Section 9.6, upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim and may also elect to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim.

 

- 74 -


(4)

The Indemnifying Party may not assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim if:

 

  (a)

the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest;

 

  (b)

the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim;

 

  (c)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, the estimated amount of likely Damages in connection with such claim is greater than the unused portion of the maximum liability the Indemnifying Party is liable for as set out in Section 9.5;

 

  (d)

subject to Section 9.6(6), the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes unless the assessment or reassessment relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period;

 

  (e)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, such claim involves material reputational risks to the Indemnified Person; or

 

  (f)

the Third Party Claim seeks only an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person other than monetary damages and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates and the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party that it will exercise its right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim.

 

(5)

In order to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election within 15 calendar days of Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim and shall comply with the procedures set out in Schedule 9.6(5).

 

(6)

In addition to the foregoing, if the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes, the following additional rules shall also apply:

 

  (a)

if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes then the Indemnifying Party shall provide to the Indemnified Person in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnified Person and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Person with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof;

 

- 75 -


  (b)

to the extent payment has not already been made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person, should the Indemnified Person be required by the relevant assessing authority to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim, forthwith upon request therefor, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay to such Governmental Entity. Should the Indemnifying Party fail to pay such amount within 30 calendar days after receipt of written request from the Indemnified Person to do so, the right of the Indemnifying Party to control the contesting of such Third Party Claim will cease;

 

  (c)

Within 10 calendar days of a final determination of such Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the full amount owing to the Indemnified Person, to the extent that such amounts have not been previously paid to the Indemnified Person; and

 

  (d)

If the Third Party Claim relates to Taxes in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and the investigation and defense of such Third Party Claim is assumed by the Indemnified Person, then Indemnified Person shall provide to the Indemnifying Party in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnifying Party and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall consult with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof and the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 9.7 Adjustment to Purchase Price.

Any payment made by the Sellers or Principals as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Purchase Price and any payment made by the Purchaser or the Parent as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Purchase Price.

Section 9.8 Recovery Against Sellers.

 

(1)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5, each indemnification obligation of any Seller and its Principals under Section 9.5(4) shall be satisfied (i) first from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, until the complete depletion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, (ii) then from the R&W Insurance Policy until the limit of liability has been reached under the R&W Insurance Policy. Thereafter, provided that neither the Purchaser nor Parent shall under any circumstances be obligated to undergo any issuer bid that is not exempt from Part 2 of National Instrument 62-104 (such as the employee, executive officer, director and consultant exemption) or to undergo any other regulatory or statutory process that would materially implicate the rights of all holders of Parent Common Shares or requires any approval by holders of Parent Common Shares, all indemnification obligations of any particular Seller and its Principals shall be satisfied

 

- 76 -


  first by liquidation of such Seller’s Consideration Shares, if any, unless such Seller elects to satisfy some or all of such indemnification obligation with cash, and thereafter from cash payable by such Seller or the Principals of such Seller, as applicable. In the event Consideration Shares are to be liquidated pursuant to this Section 9.8, the Purchaser, at its option, may arrange for the purchase of the Consideration Shares by a third party purchaser (a “Third Party Sale”), provided that the purchase price for such Third Party Sale shall not be less than the greater of (i) cost and (ii) fair market value of such Consideration Shares, where fair market value shall be based on enterprise value without discounting for minority interests or lack of alienability on behalf of such Seller. If, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, neither a Third Party Sale nor the repurchase of the Consideration Shares by the Purchaser is feasible for any reason, or, in either case, if the purchase price available for such Consideration Shares is below cost, the Purchaser would then be entitled to enforce its claim directly against such Seller and its Principals.

 

(2)

On the date of the General Survival Date, an amount equal to the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Fund minus the aggregate amount, if any, which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has claimed under this Article 9 on or prior to such date (to the extent such claims, if any, remain unresolved) (any such claim, a “Remaining Indemnity Claim”) shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative on such date for further distribution to the Sellers, and the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment. Following the final resolution of any Remaining Indemnity Claim, if the Indemnity Escrow Fund exceeds the aggregate amount, if any, which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has claimed under this Article 9 with respect to Remaining Indemnity Claims that remain unresolved, the excess Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative on such date, and the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment.

 

(3)

In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article 9 or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Damages arising from such breach.

Section 9.9 Exclusive Remedy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except for (a) Fraud (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement (including any survival periods, any limitations on remedies or recoveries, any disclaimers of reliance or any similar limitations or disclaimers) or elsewhere shall limit or restrict any Indemnified Person’s rights or ability to maintain any action against, or recover any amounts from, any Person in connection with any Fraud committed by such Person); (b) rights contained in, and disputes with respect to matters governed by Section 2.7, Section 10.3, and Schedule 2.4 (which items shall be resolved solely in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth therein); and (c) a Party’s right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.6, (i) the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy

 

- 77 -


with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9; and (ii) each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against any Indemnifying Party arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9.

ARTICLE 10

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

Section 10.1 Access to Books and Records.

For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall retain all original Books and Records relating to any Purchased Company that are part of the Books and Records existing on the Closing Date. During such six (6) year period, the Sellers shall have the right to inspect and to make copies (at its own expense) of them at any time upon reasonable request during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice for any proper purpose and without undue interference to the business operations of the Purchased Companies. The Purchaser shall have the right to have its representatives present during any such inspection.

Section 10.2 Confidentiality.

Each Seller and Principal hereby acknowledges that each is in possession of proprietary information in connection with the Business, the Assets and the Purchased Companies (“Confidential Information”). Each Seller and Principal shall and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to keep confidential and shall not use for any improper purpose or disclose to any other Person any Confidential Information, unless such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Agreement. In the event any Seller or Principal is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller or Principal shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, provide the Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirements so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.2. Each Seller and Principal agrees that such obligation of confidentiality continues after the Closing Date and, subject to Section 10.1, upon request of the Purchaser, after the Closing, it shall return to Purchaser or cause to be destroyed all Confidential Information in its possession or control. To the extent that any Seller or Principal is an employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after Closing, such Seller or Principal shall, during the term of its, his or her employment or engagement, be permitted to use Confidential Information only in the performance of duties in such employment or consulting capacity, except to the extent otherwise provided in any related employment, consulting or other agreement between such Seller or Principal, on the one hand, and the Company or its Affiliate, on the other hand.

Section 10.3 Tax Matters.

 

(1)

The Sellers shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all federal income Tax Returns of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and all Georgia franchise Tax Returns and Georgia ad valorem Tax Returns of the Company for the Straddle Period. Such returns shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with applicable Laws and the past practices and procedures of the relevant entity. The Sellers shall provide drafts of all such Tax Returns to the Purchaser at least 30 calendar days before the applicable Tax Return becomes due, and the Purchaser shall have 15 calendar days following the receipt of any such Tax Return to provide the Sellers with written notice of any disputed items therein. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Sellers shall incorporate all revisions reasonably requested by the Purchaser, taking into account all economic implications for both the Sellers and the Purchaser. The parties agree that all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be taken on the income Tax Returns of the Purchased Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

 

(2)

Subject to Section 10.3(1), the Purchaser shall cause the Purchased Companies to prepare and file any other Tax Returns of the Purchased Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, in both cases, which are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Such returns shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with applicable Laws and the past practices and procedures of the relevant entity provided that no reserve may be claimed or expense accelerated if any amount could be included in the income of the Purchased Companies for any period ending after the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall provide drafts of all such Tax Returns to the Sellers at least thirty (30) calendar days before the applicable Tax Return becomes due, and the Sellers shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following the receipt of any such Tax Return to provide Purchaser with written notice of any disputed items therein. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Purchaser shall incorporate all revisions reasonably requested by the Sellers, taking into account all economic implications for both the Sellers and the Purchaser.

 

(3)

In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

 

  (a)

in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and

 

  (b)

in the case of Taxes not described in (a) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or Taxes that are based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

 

- 79 -


(4)

The Seller and the Purchaser will co-operate fully and assist each other and make available to each other in a timely fashion all data and other information as may reasonably be required for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Purchased Companies and will preserve that data and other information until the expiration of any applicable limitation period for maintaining books and records under any applicable Tax Law with respect to such Tax Returns.

 

(5)

The Purchaser shall not (i) amend, or cause to be amended, any Tax Returns of the Purchased Companies (a) filed by the Sellers prior to the Closing Date, (b) filed by the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.3(1) or (c), filed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3(2); (ii) make or change or revoke any material Tax election, change any Tax classification, or adopt or change any Tax accounting method; (iii) enter into any closing agreement or other contractual obligation in respect of Taxes with any Governmental Entity; settle any material action, suit, proceeding, claim or demand with respect to Taxes, surrender any right to claim a material refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment; or (iv) make a voluntary approach or pursue any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Governmental Entity, in each instance with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period unless the Purchaser obtains the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative to such action, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Sellers’ Representative.

 

(6)

Any credits, refunds and other recoveries of any Taxes of any Purchased Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period), shall belong to the Sellers and be paid to them promptly upon any credit thereof to, or receipt or recovery thereof by, Purchaser, any Purchased Company or any of their Affiliates. If requested by the Sellers’ Representative, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each Purchased Company to, reasonably cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative in filing any Tax Return necessary to claim such Tax credits or refunds (including filing amended Tax Returns).

 

(7)

To the extent not completed prior to Closing, from and after Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Sellers’ auditors, Skoda Minotti, Certified Public Accountants, to, provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary or desirable to the Purchaser for the preparation and review of the interim financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the 3-month period ending March 31, 2019 and the 6-month period ending June 30, 2019.

Section 10.5 R&W Insurance Policy.

The Purchaser shall not consent to any amendment, waiver, cancellation or modification to the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative. The insurance provider under the R&W Insurance Policy shall have no subrogation right, entitlement of privilege, or any recourse whatsoever, against the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise, except in the case of Fraud, in which case the insurance provider shall be entitled to subrogate or otherwise pursue, seek damages or recovery from or against the Sellers in accordance with the R&W Insurance Policy (but only to the extent the damages in respect of which the applicable payment under the R&W Insurance Policy was made to the Purchaser is caused by the Fraud of the Sellers). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither any revocation, waiver, cancellation or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy after the Closing Date, nor any inability of, nor any denial by the provider of the R&W Insurance Policy, to pay any Damages contemplated by the R&W Insurance Policy, shall result in liability under Article 9 to the Sellers or Principals which is in excess of the liability of the Sellers or Principals contemplated under Article 9.

Section 10.6 D&O Liability and Indemnification.

 

(1)

The Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation (and advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company (each, a “D&O Indemnitee”), as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect and that the Purchased Companies will perform and discharge the Purchased Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the Closing. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and each Purchased Company shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Purchased Companies’ Organizational Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, employees or agents of any Purchased Company, unless such modification is required by Law.

 

(2)

The Sellers shall purchase and maintain in effect beginning on the Closing and for a period of six (6) years thereafter without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (including any policy providing coverage for combined fiduciary and employment practices liability) for the benefit of those D&O Indemnitees who are covered by any Purchased Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Purchased Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of

 

- 81 -


  the date hereof; provided that the Sellers may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

 

(3)

The directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 10.6 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.6. This Section 10.6 shall survive the Closing and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Purchased Companies.

Section 10.7 Company Leases.

In the event [Redacted - Personal Information - Company Leases] remains a guarantor under any Lease from and after Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, obtaining any consent or amendment, to fully remove [Redacted - Personal Information - Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguish any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement. In the event [Redacted - Personal Information - Company Leases] is not removed as a guarantor under a Lease, such Lease may not be amended, extended or renewed (unless such amendment, extension or renewal fully removes [Redacted - Personal Information - Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguishes any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement) without [Redacted - Personal Information - Company Leases] prior written consent.

Section 10.8 Assignment of Consideration Shares.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Ancillary Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Lock-Up Agreements entered into by the Sellers, from and after the Closing until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreements), any one or more of the Sellers shall have the right, subject to all applicable Laws and Parent’s insider trading policy, to contribute and transfer any or all of the Consideration Shares received by such Seller to a holding entity owned and controlled by such Seller or Sellers, which such contribution and transfer shall be deemed a permitted transfer under the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements. Upon such contribution and transfer, the applicable Sellers shall provide notice to Parent and Parent shall update its books and records to reflect the holding entity as the beneficial and record holder of such shares.

(2)

In order to administer efficiently the determination of certain matters under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, each Seller hereby agrees that the Purchaser, the Parent and the Escrow Agent will be entitled to:

All references in this Agreement to decisions and actions to be taken by the Purchaser or the Parent and directed to the Sellers or any one of them, as the case may be, shall be deemed directed to the Sellers or any one of them, as the case may be, if such decisions or actions are directed by the Purchaser or the Parent to the Sellers’ Representative.

 

(4)

The Sellers’ Representative, in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, shall enter into the Escrow Agreement (instead of all of the Sellers) with regard to the Escrow Fund.

(5)

In no event shall the Purchaser, the Parent or the Escrow Agent be held responsible or liable for the application or allocation of any monies paid to the Sellers’ Representative by the Purchaser or the Escrow Agent, and the Purchaser, the Parent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice provided thereto by the Sellers’ Representative or action taken by the Sellers’ Representative acting within the scope of its authority.

 

(6)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment, notice, receipt or delivery of documents, exercise, enforcement or waiver of rights or conditions, indemnification claim or indemnification defense shall be ineffective by reason only of it having been made or given to or by a Seller directly if each of the Purchaser, the Parent or the Escrow Agent and the other Sellers consent by virtue of not objecting to such dealings without the intermediary of the Sellers’ Representative.

 

- 83 -


(7)

Each Seller and the Purchaser and the Parent hereby waive all potential conflicts of interest arising out of the Sellers’ Representative’s activities or authority, as the Sellers’ representative, and its relationships with the Purchased Companies or any of their Affiliates.

 

(8)

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Sellers’ Representative hereby accepts the foregoing appointment and agrees to serve as the Sellers’ Representative subject to, and each Seller and the Purchaser and the Parent expressly acknowledges and agrees to, the limitation of the liability of the Sellers’ Representative as set forth below:

 

  (a)

The Sellers’ Representative shall be obligated to perform only the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement and shall have no implied duties or obligations.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIVE, IN SUCH CAPACITY, BE LIABLE TO ANY SELLER, THE PURCHASER OR THE PARENT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE AND OTHER RELATED DAMAGES.

 

  (d)

The Sellers’ Representative may rely and shall be protected in relying upon any document or instrument believed by the Sellers’ Representative to be genuine (or to be a genuine copy, facsimile, email/PDF of such document or instrument) and to have been signed by any Person, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with the provisions of such instrument.

 

  (e)

- 84 -


  (f)

If any conflicting or inconsistent claims or demands are made in connection with this Agreement, or if the Sellers’ Representative is in doubt as to what action it should take under this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands, or refuse to take any other action under this Agreement so long as such disagreement continues or reasonable doubt exists. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable in any way or to any Seller for its failure or refusal to act in accordance with the foregoing sentence. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting until (A) the rights of all parties have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) the Sellers’ Representative has been notified in a writing signed by all interested parties that all differences have been settled by agreement among all of the interested parties.

Section 11.4 Announcements.

No press release, public statement or announcement or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement may be made prior to Closing except with the prior written consent and joint approval of both the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser, or if required by Law or a Governmental Entity. Where such disclosure is required by Law or a Governmental Entity, the Party required to make such disclosure will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the other Party as to its form, nature and extent of the disclosure.

The Parties reserve their right to vary or rescind the rights at any time and in any way whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Agreement to any Person who is not a Party, without notice to or consent of that Person, including any Third Party Beneficiary.

 

(3)

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or Canada or any state or province thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto and the Disclosure Letter, together with the Ancillary Agreements and the other instruments referred to herein, (i) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties; (ii) supersedes all prior agreements or discussions of the Parties; and (iii) sets forth the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties, in all cases, with respect to the subject matter herein.

be asserted or waived by Purchaser or any Purchased Company from and after the Closing; provided that, to the extent allowed by applicable Law, the Purchased Companies may assert such privileges to the extent relating to a dispute that does not involve the Sellers or any of their respective Representatives. The Parties agree that the Sellers shall be entitled to take all steps reasonably necessary to segregate the Privileged Communications from the documents and communications delivered to the Purchaser (or retained by the Purchased Companies) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchaser shall provide such assistance to the Sellers in furtherance of such steps as the Sellers may reasonably request. The Purchaser, the Parent and the Purchased Companies acknowledge and agree that Greenberg Traurig, LLP and/or one or more of its affiliated or related entities (“GT”) has represented the Sellers and Principals and/or their respective Representatives and associates prior to the Closing and that GT may represent such persons and its Representatives after the Closing.

Section 11.18 No Recourse to Purchaser Financing Sources.

In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality of Section 11.5(3), Section 11.6, Section 11.8, Section 11.11 and Section 11.18, the parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller and each Principal, in each case on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (including the Company and each other Purchased Company), and each of its and their controlling persons, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, attorneys, trustees, administrators, managers, representatives and successors and assigns, shall not have, and hereby waives, any rights or claims against any Purchaser Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Purchaser Financing, the Commitment Letter or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and each Seller and each Principal, in each case on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates (including the Company and each other Purchased Company), and each of its and their controlling persons, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, attorneys, trustees, administrators, managers, representatives and successors and assigns, agrees not to commence (and if commenced agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any claim, action, suit, litigation, or other proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate proceeding) against any Purchaser Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Purchaser Financing, the Commitment Letter or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including any claim, action, suit, litigation, or other proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate proceeding) relating to the Purchaser Financing or the Commitment Letter).

Section 1.2 Calculation of the Earnout

 

(1)

The Earnout shall be calculated as follows:

([2 x (Earnout Revenue - Earnout Expenses) - $6,819,000] x 6) - Purchaser Expenses

 

(2)

Within 60 days following the end of the Earnout Period, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a draft statement (the “Draft Earnout Statement”), together with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation used in the preparation thereof, of its good faith calculations of the Earnout.

 

(3)

The Sellers’ Representative shall have 15 Business Days to review the Draft Earnout Statement following receipt of it and the Sellers’ Representative must notify the Purchaser in writing if it has any objections to the Draft Earnout Statement within such 15 Business Day period. The notice of objection must contain a statement of the basis of each of the objections and each amount in dispute. The Purchaser shall provide access, upon every reasonable request, to the Sellers’ Representative and its auditors, to all work papers of the Purchaser, accounting books and records and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Earnout Statement.

 

(4)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection of the Draft Earnout Statement in accordance with Section 1.2(3), the Parties shall promptly meet to try to resolve such objections within 20 Business Days following receipt of the notice. Failing resolution of any objection to the Draft Earnout Statement raised by the Sellers’ Representative, only the amount(s) in dispute will be submitted for determination to the Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall identify a member at an office located in Georgia to act in such mandate and shall determine the procedures applicable to the resolution of the amounts in dispute with the primary purposes of minimizing expenses of the Parties and expediting the accurate resolution of the dispute. The determination of the Independent Accountants of the amount(s) in dispute and any corresponding changes flowing from the resolution of such amounts in dispute shall be based on the terms of this Agreement only, will be final and binding upon the Parties and will not be subject to appeal, absent manifest error. The Independent Accountants are deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators.


(5)

If the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any objection within the 15 Business Day period, the Sellers are deemed to have accepted and approved the Draft Earnout Statement and such Draft Earnout Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error and will become the “Earnout Statement” on the next Business Day following the end of such 15 Business Day period.

 

(6)

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection in accordance with Section 1.2(4), the Parties shall revise the Draft Earnout Statement to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections under Section 1.2(4) within ten Business Days following such final resolution or determination. Such revised Draft Earnout Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Draft Earnout Statement will become the “Earnout Statement” on the next Business Day following revision of the Draft Earnout Statement under this Section 1.2(6).

 

(7)

The Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective auditors, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Earnout Statement. In the case of a dispute and the retention of the Independent Accountants to determine such amount(s) in dispute, the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be borne by the Sellers and the Purchasers in such proportions as the positions taken by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser are unsuccessful when compared to the Earnout Statement, as determined by the Independent Accountants. However, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own costs in presenting their respective cases to the Independent Accountants.

 

(8)

The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Earnout Statement is the sole and exclusive method of resolving such disputes, absent manifest error. This Section 1.2(8) will not prohibit any Party from instigating litigation to compel specific performance of this Section 1.2(8) or to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountants.

Section 1.3 Payment of the Earnout

The Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative the Earnout as set forth on the Earnout Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds as follows:

 

  (a)

50% within five Business Days after the date the Draft Earnout Statement becomes the Earnout Statement; and

 

  (b)

50% on the date that is 6 months after the date the Draft Earnout Statement becomes the Earnout Statement (or if such date is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter).


Section 1.4 Conduct of the Centers and the Business

 

(1)

During the Earnout Period, the Purchaser shall maintain financial books and records with respect to the operations of the Centers in a manner that enables the Purchaser to calculate, and for the Sellers’ Representative to reasonably verify, the Earnout Revenue, Earnout Expenses and Purchaser Expenses. Upon request of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative shall be provided with quarterly reports demonstrating the Earnout Revenue, Earnout Expenses and Purchaser Expenses for the given quarter within 45 calendar days after the end of each quarter, beginning with the first full fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date.

 

(2)

During the Earnout Period, Purchaser agrees and covenants that, unless otherwise approved by the Sellers’ Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, it: (a) shall in good faith operate the Centers or cause the Centers to be operated in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Business, and shall not take any intentional actions intended to reduce the Earnout Revenue of such Centers; provided, that the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall not be under any obligation to operate the Centers in violation of any applicable Laws nor in any manner which is contrary to industry accepted standards of care; (b) shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative if there is a material adverse change in the operations of any Center; (c) other than the merger of the Company with the Purchaser or a transfer of the membership interests of Elite in accordance with the Administrative Services Agreement or Nominee and Pledge Agreement, each dated May 1, 2018, to which the Company, Elite and [Redacted - Personal Information - Conduct of the Centers and the Business] and the Company and [Redacted - Personal Information - Conduct of the Centers and the Business], respectively, are a party (as such agreements may be amended at or prior to Closing), shall seek the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative prior to (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of any of the Centers or any of the Purchased Companies that operate such Centers, (ii) the merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of any of the Centers or any of the Purchased Companies that operate such Centers, or (iii) the sale, exchange, transfer, lease, dispose of, surrender or abandon all or substantially all assets or membership interests or other securities of the Centers or the Purchased Companies that operate such Centers, in one or more related transactions; (d) shall not transfer or terminate a material portion of the employees of the Centers who perform the technical or radiological component of medical services or who market the medical services; (e) shall not terminate the employment of [Redacted - Personal Information - Conduct of the Centers and the Business] without “Cause” or take any action that would permit [Redacted - Personal Information - Conduct of the Centers and the Business] to terminate his or her employment for “Good Reason” (as each term is defined in his or her respective employment agreement, as amended at or prior to Closing); (f) shall not receive or agree to receive consideration of less than fair market value for services provided to, or on behalf of, any Centers, except to the extent required to comply with their contractual obligations to any third party; and (g) shall not intentionally transfer any customer of the Centers to a facility or business outside of the Centers, or otherwise credit payments from any customer of the Centers to a facility or business outside of the Centers.

Schedule 9.6(5)

Third Party Claim Procedure

 

(1)

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim:

 

  (a)

the Indemnifying Party shall pay for all reasonable costs and expenses of the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense (or has cured the failure to diligently conduct the defense within 14 calendar days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Person or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal), be liable to the Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim, incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date the Indemnifying Party exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim;

 

  (b)

the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim;

 

  (c)

the Indemnified Person shall not, other than with respect to Third Party Claims in respect of Taxes, contact or communicate with the Person making the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless required by applicable Law;

 

  (d)

legal counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim must be satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, acting reasonably; and

 

  (e)

the Indemnifying Party may not compromise and settle or remedy, or cause a compromise and settlement or remedy, of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if, pursuant to, or as a result of such compromise, settlement or remedy, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to the claim that gave rise to the Third Party Claim.

 

(2)

If the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim under Section 9.6(4) of the Agreement, (ii) does not elect to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, or (iii) assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim but fails to diligently pursue such defense, or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person has the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim. In the case

Schedule 9.6(5)


  where the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently pursue the defense of the Third Party Claim, or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person may not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnifying Party written demand to diligently pursue the defense and the Indemnifying Party fails to do so within 14 calendar days after receipt of the demand, or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal.

 

(3)

If, under Section 9.6 of the Agreement, the Indemnified Person undertakes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may compromise and settle the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim effected without its consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(4)

The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party agree to keep each other fully informed of the status of any Third Party Claim and any related proceedings and to use their reasonable efforts to minimize Damages with respect to any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, use its reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, on a timely basis, those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in investigating and defending the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, make available to the Indemnifying Party, or its representatives, on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession, control or power of the Indemnified Person, reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for its use solely in defending any Third Party Claim which it has elected to assume the investigation and defense of. The Indemnified Person shall cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim.

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection of the Draft Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.6(2), the Parties shall promptly meet to try to resolve such objections within 20 Business Days following receipt of the notice. Failing resolution of any objection to the Draft Closing Statement raised by the Sellers’ Representative, only the amount(s) in dispute will be submitted for determination to an impartial independent firm of certified public accountants mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser (and, failing such agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser within a further period of 5 Business Days, such independent firm of certified public accountants will be Deloitte LLP, or if such firm is unable to act, Grant Thornton LLP) (the “Independent Accountants”).

If the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection in accordance with Section 2.6(3), the Parties shall revise the Draft Closing Statement to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections under Section 2.6(3) within five (5) Business Days following such final resolution or determination.

In the case of a dispute and the retention of the Independent Accountants to determine such amount(s) in dispute, the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be borne by the Sellers and the Purchasers in such proportions as the positions taken by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser are unsuccessful when compared to the Closing Statement, as determined by the Independent Accountants. However, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear their own costs in presenting their respective cases to the Independent Accountants.

 

(7)

The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.6 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement is the sole and exclusive method of resolving such disputes, absent manifest error. This Section 2.6(7) will not prohibit any Party from instigating litigation to compel specific performance of this Section 2.6(7) or to enforce the determination of the Independent Accountants.

Section 2.7 Closing Adjustment.

The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, dollar-for-dollar, to the extent that the Closing Payment Amount, as determined from the Closing Statement (“Final Closing Payment Amount”) is more or less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount.

 

(2)

Upon receipt of the amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall distribute such amount to the applicable Sellers and Recipients as set forth on Schedule A.

 

(3)

If the Final Closing Payment Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Payment Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay the amount of such difference as a decrease to the Purchase Price to the Purchaser. The Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall, within five Business Days after the Draft Closing Statement becomes the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.6(4) or Section 2.6(5), as the case may be, deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed certificate or joint instruction letter as required under the Escrow Agreement, certifying (i) the amount of the payment to be made to the Purchaser from the Working Capital Escrow Fund, and (ii) the release of the balance of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, if any, to the Sellers; Representative from the Working Capital Escrow Fund (for further distribution to the applicable Sellers and Recipients as set forth on Schedule A).

If the Purchaser has the right to, but does not elect to renegotiate the Purchase Price or terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1(d), then (x) Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter, (y) no indemnity claim may be made with respect to such matter by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or assignees under Article 9, any such claim being hereby irrevocably waived and released with respect to such matter, and (z) such matter shall be a permitted Disclosure Supplement and shall not be a basis for Purchaser or its Affiliate or assignee to assert that any closing condition set forth in Section 6.1 has not been satisfied.

The Purchaser may amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof.

The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Damages from the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) or Section 9.3(2) unless a written notice of claim is delivered by the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parties to the Sellers’ Representative, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers:

 

  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 3.1(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.1(c) (Required Authorizations), Section 3.1(e) (Authorized and Issued Capital), Section 3.1(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.1(ll) (No Brokers), Section 3.2(a) (Formation and Qualification), Section 3.2(b) (Authorization), Section 3.2(e) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 3.2(f) (No Other Agreements to Purchase), Section 3.2(g) (Title to Purchased Interest), and Section 3.2(i) (No Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations of Sellers”);

 

  (b)

at any time on or before the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of the applicable period (having regard to any consent, waiver, agreement or other document that extends the period) (the “Tax Assessment Period”) during which any tax assessment may be issued by a Governmental Entity in respect of any taxation year in respect of Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes) and Section 3.2(h) (Residence). A tax assessment includes any assessment, reassessment or other form of recognized document assessing liability for Taxes under applicable Law;

 

  (c)

at any time on or before the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitation period in respect of breaches of the Sellers’ representations in Section 3.1(m) (Compliance with Health Care Laws), which the Sellers had knowledge of prior to Closing (“Healthcare Compliance Representations”); or

 

  (d)

at any time on or before the date that is twelve months after Closing, in respect of all other representations and warranties in respect of the Purchased Companies or the Sellers (including any Healthcare Compliance Representations in respect of which the Sellers did not have knowledge of any breach prior to Closing) (such date, the “General Survival Date”).

 

(2)

The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from the Purchaser or Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(1)(a) unless a written notice of claim is delivered to Purchaser or Parent by the Sellers’ Representative, in its capacity as the representative of (and on behalf of) the Sellers and the Seller Indemnified Parties:

 

  (a)

at any time after Closing in respect of Section 4.1(a) (Formation and Corporate Power), Section 4.1(b) (Corporate Authorization), Section 4.1(d) (Execution and Binding Obligation), Section 4.1(l) (No Brokers), Section 4.2(a) (Formation and Corporate Power) and Section 4.2(b) (Corporate Authorization; Valid Issuance of Consideration Shares); or

 

- 73 -


  (b)

at any time on or before the General Survival Date, in respect of all other representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Parent.

 

(3)

Subject to Section 9.5(4), none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages under Section 9.3(1)(a) until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount. Subject to Section 9.5(4), once the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages above such Threshold Amount up to the Retention Amount, which amounts shall be satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Fund; provided that the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all such Damages up to the Retention Amount (including such amounts below the Threshold Amount) in respect of any Damages relating to claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for a breach of any Healthcare Compliance Representations. Subject to Section 9.5(4), any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party above the Retention Amount will be made solely against the R&W Insurance Policy.

Except as expressly stated herein, the monetary thresholds and limits set out in Section 9.5(3) will not apply to Damages with respect to any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party:

 

  (a)

for a breach of the Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes); provided, however, for purposes of clarity and the avoidance of doubt, none of the Sellers or Principals shall be liable to (or otherwise be obligated to indemnify) any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages due to Section 9.3(1)(a), which includes a breach of any Fundamental Representations of Sellers or Section 3.1(jj) (Taxes), until the total of all Damages arising pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount;

 

  (b)

pursuant to Section 9.3(1)(b) through Section 9.3(1)(f); or

 

  (c)

for Fraud.

 

(5)

In respect of those claims set out in Section 9.5(4), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(6) below, the Sellers and Principals shall be liable for all Damages relating to such claims up to an aggregate maximum amount equal to the Closing Payment less the amount the Purchaser shall have recovered from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereunder.

 

(6)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum liability of each Seller or Principal to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the payment of Damages attributable to all claims asserted against such Seller or Principal pursuant to Section 9.3(1) and Section 9.3(2) shall, in the aggregate, not at any time exceed such Seller’s or Principal’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price, as set forth on Schedule A, irrespective of such Seller’s or Principal’s right to pursue, or ultimate success in pursuing, a claim of contribution for all or any portion of such Damages from one or more other parties, including but not limited to one or more other Sellers or Principals.

 

- 74 -


(7)

[Reserved.]

 

(8)

For purposes of determining the amount of any indemnification obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Damages, appropriate reductions shall be made to reflect (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy) with respect to such Damages (net of any expenses related to the receipt of such payment, including prospective and retrospective premium adjustments, if any, occasioned by such Damages), and (ii) any Tax benefit realizable by such Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as a result of the Damages giving rise to such indemnification obligation. In the event an insurance recovery relating to an indemnification payment is received after the Sellers or the Principals, on the one hand, or the Escrow Agent, on the other hand, has made an indemnification payment under this Agreement that did not take into account such insurance recovery, or a Purchaser Indemnified Party realizes Tax benefits in respect of any Damages after such Damages are indemnified by the Sellers and/or the Principals, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, for further distribution to the Sellers and/or the Principals, or the Escrow Agent (to the extent the indemnification payment was made from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Indemnity Escrow Fund is still active), on the other hand, the portion of the applicable indemnity payment such Purchaser Indemnified Party would not have been entitled to had such recovery or realization occurred prior to the making of the applicable indemnity payment.

 

(9)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers and their respective Principals shall not have any liability under this Agreement with respect to (and Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid) (a) any Taxes that were taken into account in the Closing Statement, (b) Taxes incurred by the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates as a result of actions outside the Ordinary Course of business taken after the Closing on the Closing Date, (c) any Taxes as a result of Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s) breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 10.3 or (d) Taxes of any Purchased Company incurred with respect to a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 9.6 Notification of and Procedure for Claims.

 

(1)

If a Third Party Claim is instituted or asserted against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim, which notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and attach all documentation received in connection with the Third Party Claim.

 

- 75 -


(2)

The omission to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, unless the notification occurs after the expiration of the specified period set out in Section 9.5 or (and only to that extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

(3)

Subject to the terms of this Section 9.6, upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim and may also elect to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim.

 

(4)

The Indemnifying Party may not assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim if:

 

  (a)

the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest;

 

  (b)

the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim;

 

  (c)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, the estimated amount of likely Damages in connection with such claim is greater than the unused portion of the maximum liability the Indemnifying Party is liable for as set out in Section 9.5;

 

  (d)

subject to Section 9.6(6), the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes unless the assessment or reassessment relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period;

 

  (e)

in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, such claim involves material reputational risks to the Indemnified Person; or

 

  (f)

the Third Party Claim seeks only an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person other than monetary damages and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates and the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party that it will exercise its right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim.

 

(5)

In order to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election within 15 calendar days of Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim and shall comply with the procedures set out in Schedule 9.6(5).

 

- 76 -


(6)

In addition to the foregoing, if the Third Party Claim is in respect of Taxes, the following additional rules shall also apply:

 

  (a)

if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes then the Indemnifying Party shall provide to the Indemnified Person in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnified Person and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall consult with the Indemnified Person with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof;

 

  (b)

to the extent payment has not already been made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person, should the Indemnified Person be required by the relevant assessing authority to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim, forthwith upon request therefor, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay to such Governmental Entity. Should the Indemnifying Party fail to pay such amount within 30 calendar days after receipt of written request from the Indemnified Person to do so, the right of the Indemnifying Party to control the contesting of such Third Party Claim will cease;

 

  (c)

Within 10 calendar days of a final determination of such Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Person the full amount owing to the Indemnified Person, to the extent that such amounts have not been previously paid to the Indemnified Person; and

 

  (d)

If the Third Party Claim relates to Taxes in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and the investigation and defense of such Third Party Claim is assumed by the Indemnified Person, then Indemnified Person shall provide to the Indemnifying Party in a timely manner (x) any proposed written communications and other documents to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity or filed with a court in respect of any assessment or reassessment for review by the Indemnifying Party and (y) copies of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall consult with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the materials provided pursuant to (x) above prior to the submission or filing thereof and the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 9.7 Adjustment to Purchase Price.

Any payment made by the Sellers or Principals as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Purchase Price and any payment made by the Purchaser or the Parent as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Purchase Price.

Section 9.8 Recovery Against Sellers.

 

(1)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5, each indemnification obligation of any Seller and its Principals under Section 9.5(4) shall be satisfied (i) first from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, until the complete depletion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund; and (ii) then from the R&W Insurance Policy until the limit of liability has been reached under the R&W Insurance Policy. Thereafter, provided that neither the Purchaser nor Parent shall under any circumstances be obligated to undergo any issuer bid that is not exempt from Part 2 of National Instrument 62-104 (such as the employee, executive officer, director and consultant exemption) or to undergo any other regulatory or statutory process that would materially implicate the rights of all holders of Parent Common Shares or requires any approval by holders of Parent Common Shares, all indemnification obligations of any particular Seller and its Principals shall be satisfied first by liquidation of such Seller’s Consideration Shares, if any, unless such Seller elects to satisfy some or all of such indemnification obligation with cash, and thereafter from cash payable by such Seller or the Principals of such Seller, as applicable. In the event Consideration Shares are to be liquidated pursuant to this Section 9.8, the Purchaser, at its option, may arrange for the purchase of the Consideration Shares by a third party purchaser (a “Third Party Sale”), provided that the purchase price for such Third Party Sale shall not be less than the greater of (i) cost and (ii) fair market value of such Consideration Shares, where fair market value shall be based on enterprise value without discounting for minority interests or lack of alienability on behalf of such Seller. If, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, neither a Third Party Sale nor the repurchase of the Consideration Shares by the Purchaser is feasible for any reason, or, in either case, if the purchase price available for such Consideration Shares is below cost, the Purchaser would then be entitled to enforce its claim directly against such Seller and its Principals.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither any revocation, waiver, cancellation or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy after the Closing Date, nor any inability of, nor any denial by the insurance provider of the R&W Insurance Policy, to pay any Damages contemplated by the R&W Insurance Policy, shall result in liability under Article 9 to the Sellers or Principals which is in excess of the liability of the Sellers or Principals contemplated under Article 9.

The Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation (and advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company (each, a “D&O Indemnitee”), as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect and that the Purchased Companies will perform and discharge the Purchased Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the Closing. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and each Purchased Company shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Purchased Company’s Organizational Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Purchased Companies’ Organizational Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, employees or agents of any Purchased Company, unless such modification is required by Law.

The Sellers shall purchase and maintain in effect beginning on the Closing and for a period of six (6) years thereafter without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (including any policy providing coverage for combined fiduciary and employment practices liability) for the benefit of those D&O Indemnitees who are covered by any Purchased Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Purchased Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof; provided that the Sellers may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

 

(3)

The directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchased Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 10.6 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.6.

Section 10.7 Company Leases.

In the event [Redacted – Personal Information – Company Leases] remains a guarantor under any Lease from and after Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, but not limited to, obtaining any consent or amendment, to fully remove [Redacted – Personal Information – Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguish any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement. In the event [Redacted – Personal Information – Company Leases] is not removed as a guarantor under a Lease, such Lease may not be amended, extended or renewed (unless such amendment, extension or renewal fully removes [Redacted – Personal Information – Company Leases] as a guarantor and extinguishes any obligations or liabilities under the applicable guaranty agreement) without [Redacted – Personal Information – Company Leases] prior written consent.

Section 10 Reasonableness.

The Restricted Party expressly acknowledges that the agreements and covenants provided by Restricted Party in this Agreement are essential to protect the value of the Business and such covenants and agreements contained herein are a material and substantial part of the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (supported by adequate consideration) and are a material inducement to the Purchaser’s agreement to consummate the Transaction. The Restricted Party further acknowledges that this Agreement is reasonable and valid in all respects and irrevocably waives (and irrevocably agrees not to raise) as a defense any issue of reasonableness (including the reasonableness of the Territory or the duration and scope of this Agreement) in any proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the intention of the Parties being to provide for the legitimate and reasonable protection of the interests of the Targets by providing, without limitation, for the broadest scope, the longest duration and the widest territory allowable by law. The Restricted Party agrees not to challenge or raise any equitable defenses to the enforceability of the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement.

Section 11 2[Enforcement of Covenants.

The Restricted Party shall, at its own expense, take all lawful and reasonably necessary actions, including the institution of legal proceedings, to prevent or stop any violation, contravention or breach of this Agreement by any of its representatives or agents. In the absence of such action by the Restricted Party, the Purchaser may take such reasonably necessary action in its own name and the Restricted Party shall be subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9.]

Section 12 Notification.

The Restricted Party shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any violation, contravention or breach of this Agreement as soon as it becomes aware of any such event.

Section 13 Equitable Remedies.

In the event of a violation, contravention, breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Restricted Party, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that the applicable Target’s remedy at law for any breach of the covenants contained herein would be inadequate and such Target is entitled to both temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond. The right of the Target to injunctive relief is in addition to any and all other remedies available to it and will not prevent it from pursuing, either consecutively or concurrently, any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to it including the recovery of monetary damages.

Section 14 Notices.

Any notice, direction or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement (each a “Notice”) must be in writing, sent by personal delivery, courier, facsimile or email, return receipt requested, and addressed:

Section 15 Miscellaneous.

 

(1)

Time. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

 

(2)

Third Parties.

(3)

Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by all of the Parties.

 

(4)

Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

 

(5)

Non-Merger. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth herein will not merge upon and will survive the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement and, notwithstanding such closing, continue in full force and effect.

There are no representations, warranties, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject-matter of this Agreement except as specifically set out in this Agreement.

 

(7)

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement becomes effective when executed by all of the Parties. After that time, it will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement, including any right to payment, may be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

 

(8)

Severance/Reformation. In the event that a court or appointed arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision shall be reduced, modified or otherwise conformed to the relevant law, judgment or determination to the degree necessary to render it valid and enforceable without affecting the rest of this Agreement. If after applying the provisions of the preceding sentence, any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

 

(9)

Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.

 

(10)

Independent Legal Advice. The Parties each acknowledge that, prior to executing this Agreement, they have been given the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice concerning this Agreement and that they fully understand the nature, content and consequences of this Agreement. This Agreement has been negotiated in good faith between the Parties.

 

(11)

Akumin to acquire approximately US$30.3 million of EBITDA

through expansion in Florida and Georgia

April 15, 2019 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU, AKU.U) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today that it has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Akumin Corp., entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (“ADG”), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers are managed by ADG’s management team. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, Akumin would acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Targets”).

The total purchase price for the Targets is approximately US$214 million of which US$25 million would be satisfied by the issuance of Akumin shares at a price of US$4.00 per share. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs and expenses. Closing of the transactions is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Collectively, the Targets produced an adjusted EBITDA of approximately US$30.3 million on a last twelve months’ basis as at December 31, 2018.

In connection with the acquisition of the Targets, Akumin also announced that it has entered into a binding commitment letter with BBVA Compass and BBVA Securities Inc. (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders would provide Akumin Corp. with credit facilities totaling US$380 million, of which US$330 million would be advanced as a term facility and US$50 million would be a revolver to be used primarily to fund future acquisitions. The proceeds of the term loan would be used to refinance approximately US$112 million of Akumin’s existing debt and to finance US$189 million of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of the Targets, with the balance to be used for other potential acquisitions in the future.

“This acquisition will diversify our business offering by adding an established personal injury business to our network. We are excited to have Kevin Johnson, ADG’s Co-founder and CEO, and his team join our family,” said Riadh Zine, Akumin’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also excited to have Dr. Richard Sarner, the Co-Founder and Medical Director of The Imaging Centers of West Palm, continue his role with Akumin.”

“In addition to becoming a shareholder of Akumin, Kevin will lead our personal injury business across the company to further expand our personal injury footprint across all of our markets. We also expect to optimize some of our existing Akumin centers as personal injury focused centers operating under the Advanced Diagnostics Group banner.”

“With these transactions we also enter the Georgia market,” Mr. Zine continued, “where we can leverage our expertise in a ‘certificate of need’ market and develop a new core geography for Akumin.”

About the Targets

Advanced Diagnostic Group operates 14 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers across Florida, each as an independent diagnostic testing facility, with a particular focus on personal injury imaging. In 2018, ADG’s management team took over management of The Imaging Centers of West Palm, which operates


7 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in South Florida. ADG’s management team has also expanded in Georgia with SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, which has the exclusive right to manage the non-clinical and administrative affairs of Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC, a physician-owned practice which operates four outpatient diagnostic imaging centers and expects to have two additional centers operating in the Atlanta, Georgia area prior to closing of the transactions.

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and Kansas. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients.

TRANSACTION DESCRIPTION

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) or in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

The Company intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), through the Borrower, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of three entities previously identified to the Lead Arranger (the “Target”), from the existing equity holders of the Target (the “Sellers”) pursuant to a purchase by a subsidiary of the Company of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Target from the Sellers, so that after giving effect to the Acquisition the Target entities and their subsidiaries are a part of, or wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of, the Borrower.

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

 

1.

Substantially simultaneously with the Acquisition, the Company will cause the Borrower to obtain (i) a $330 million aggregate principal amount senior secured term loan facility described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) an up to $50 million aggregate principal amount revolving credit facility described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (the “Revolving Facility” and collectively with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

 

2.

On the Closing Date (a) the Sellers will contribute to the Company or the Borrower, in the form of rollover equity, an amount not less than $25 million (subject to rounding for whole shares) (the “Rollover Equity Contribution”), which Rollover Equity Contribution shall be in the form of common equity of the Target (exchanged for common equity of the Company), and (b) the Borrower will use the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of the Rollover Equity Contribution and a portion of the Revolving Facility (subject to the limitations set forth in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter) to (i) repay in full (or amend or amend and restate, as determined by the Lead Arranger and the Company) all existing indebtedness of (A) the Company and its subsidiaries under the Existing Credit Agreement, and all commitments to extend credit under the Existing Credit Agreement will be terminated (or amended or amended and restated) and any security interests and guarantees in connection therewith shall be terminated and/or released (or continued in favor of the Senior Credit Facilities in connection with an amendment or amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement) and all letters of credit terminated (other than those grandfathered into, continued under, backstopped by or cash collateralized under the Senior Credit Facilities) and (B) the Target and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Refinancing”), (ii) to pay the consideration for the Acquisition to the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and (iii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.

The transactions described above are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.

Exhibit B-3


   to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, (e) any right under any contract or agreement constituting a general intangible, but only to the extent and for so long as the granting of a security interest therein or an assignment thereof would violate any applicable law (but only to the extent any such prohibition on the granting of security interests is not rendered ineffective by, or is not otherwise unenforceable under, the UCC or other applicable law), other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other similar applicable law notwithstanding such prohibition, (f) any contract, instrument, document, lease, license or other agreement to which a Loan Party or any of its property is subject, to the extent and for so long as the grant of a lien thereon constitutes a breach of or a default under, or creates a right of termination in favor of any party (other than such Loan Party) to, such contract, instrument, document, lease, license or other agreement (but only to the extent any such prohibition on the granting of liens is not rendered ineffective by, or is otherwise unenforceable under, the UCC or other applicable law), (g) Excluded Accounts, (h) any fee-owned real property, (i) any leasehold interests in real property, provided that with respect to any such leasehold interest as is material (with materiality to be determined) and relates to real property that is owned by a person that is not a Loan Party, the Financing Documentation shall include requirements to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels and/or collateral access letters at the request of the Administrative Agent, (j) equity interests in (A) any person other than subsidiaries directly held by a Loan Party or (B) any direct subsidiary of a Loan Party a portion of whose equity is owned by a third-party that is not affiliated with the Company and where such pledge is prohibited by the constituent documents of such subsidiary or by contractual agreement with the third-party equity owner and (k) any assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its reasonable discretion that the costs of obtaining a security interest in the same are excessive in relation to the benefit to the secured parties of the security intended to be afforded thereby.

Incremental

Facility:

(a)   no default or event of default exists immediately prior to or after giving effect thereto, provided that in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility being used (in whole or in part) to consummate any acquisition of all or substantially all of a person or line of business where all or a portion of the purchase price thereof is being financed, but the consummation of which is not conditioned on the availability of financing (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”), then at the election of the Borrower and with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility, such condition

 

Exhibit B-4


  

may be measured on the date of entering into of the definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition, provided further that in no event shall any payment or bankruptcy event of default exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility and such Limited Condition Acquisition;

  

(b)   the Company and the Borrower are in compliance, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility (and assuming that the commitments under such Incremental Facility are fully drawn) and any permitted acquisition, refinancing of debt or other event giving rise to a pro forma adjustment, with (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio level in effect for the last day of the quarter in which such Incremental Facility is incurred and (ii) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of a level no greater than the lesser of (A) 4.25 to 1.00 and (B) 0.25 to 1.00 lower than the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio level in effect for the last day of the quarter in which such Incremental Facility is incurred; provided that in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility being used (in whole or in part) to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition, then at the election of the Borrower and with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility, such compliance may be measured on the date of entering into of the definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition; provided further that upon such an election by the Borrower, on any date of measurement of any of the Financial Covenants for any purpose after such date (and prior to the earlier of (i) the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) the termination of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition without the consummation thereof), the requisite Financial Covenant levels shall be required to be satisfied both by taking into account, and without taking into account, such Limited Condition Acquisition and such Incremental Term Loan Facility;

  

(c)   no Lender will be required or otherwise obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and each person providing an Incremental Commitment, if not already a Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in connection with any Additional Revolving Commitments, the approval of the Fronting Bank and the lender of Swingline Loans (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

  

(d)   the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility and the weighted average life of such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life of the Term Loan Facility;

  

(e)   the interest rate margins and (subject to clause (d) above) amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder;

  

(f)   the other terms and documentation in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Facility, to the extent not consistent with the Term Loan Facility, will be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility, provided that in no event shall the covenants, defaults and similar non-economic provisions

 

Exhibit B-5


  

applicable to any Incremental Term Loan Facility, taken as a whole, (x) be more restrictive than the corresponding terms set forth in the then existing Financing Documentation (except to the extent either (A) applicable to the all of the Senior Credit Facilities or (B) only applicable after the latest maturity date of the other tranches of the Senior Credit Facilities then in effect) or (y) contravene any of the terms of the then existing Financing Documentation;

  

(g)   all Additional Revolving Commitments shall have the same terms and be pursuant to the same documentation as the Revolving Facility;

  

(h)   any such Incremental Facility shall have the same guarantees and be secured only by the Collateral on an equal priority basis with the relevant Senior Credit Facilities;

  

(i) all representations and warranties in the Financing Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to those modified by materiality standards, in all respects) on and as of the date of incurrence of any Incremental Facility (or, with respect to any representations and warranties that expressly refer to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); provided that in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility being used (in whole or in part) to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition, then (at the election of the Borrower) the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing an Incremental Term Loan Facility may agree to limit the representations and warranties the accuracy of which are a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loan Facility in a customary “SunGard” manner for limited conditionality acquisitions;

  

(j) upon the reasonable request of any lender made at least ten days prior to the closing date of any such Incremental Facility, the Borrower shall have provided to such Lender the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money- laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least five days prior to such closing date; and

  

(k)   at least five days prior to the closing date of any such Incremental Facility, if the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), the Borrower shall deliver a certification regarding beneficial ownership required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation in relation to the Borrower.

   Each request for an Incremental Facility shall set forth (i) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Incremental Facility, (ii) the date on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten business days nor more than 60 calendar days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and (iii) the proposed terms of such Incremental Facility (consistent with the foregoing). The proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, (including permitted acquisitions and the making of payments), subject to the limitations set forth in the Financing Documentation.

 

Exhibit B-6


Maturity Dates:    The Senior Credit Facilities shall have the following maturity dates: (1) with respect to the Revolving Facility, five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Revolving Maturity Date”), and the commitments with respect to the Revolving Facility will automatically terminate on such date (and all unpaid principal and interest under the Revolving Facility will be due and payable on such date); and (2) with respect to the Term Loan Facility, seven (7) years from the Closing Date (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”) and all unpaid principal and interest under the Term Loan Facility will be due and payable on such date.
Amortization:    The Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments (commencing with the last day of the first full fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in which of the Closing Date occurs) in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility (with adjustments for mandatory and voluntary prepayments), with the remainder due on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
Mandatory Prepayments:    In addition to the amortization set forth above, the Senior Credit Facilities will be required to be prepaid with:
  

(a)   100% of the net cash proceeds of the issuance or incurrence of debt by any of the Company or the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than debt permitted in the Financing Documentation);

  

(b)   100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries and other asset dispositions by the Company, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, subject to reinvestment provisions and baskets to be mutually agreed upon; and

  

(c)   50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in the Financing Documentation), for each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020) (subject to 100% credit for any voluntary prepayment of the loans under the Term Loan Facility, but excluding any such prepayments funded with the proceeds of long-term debt (other than revolving loans) or equity); provided that the forgoing percentage shall be reduced to (i) 25% for any fiscal year when the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.50 to 1.00 (but greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00) and (ii) 0% for any fiscal year when the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.00 to 1.00.

   Such mandatory prepayments will be applied first, to prepay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility and, unless the lenders or holders of such indebtedness agree to receive less than their ratable share of such prepayments, any Incremental Term Loan, on a ratable basis and second, to prepay outstandings under the Revolving Facility (without a permanent reduction in the commitments thereunder). All such mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility will be applied in direct order to the next four scheduled amortization payments and then pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments.

 

Exhibit B-7


Optional Prepayments   
and Commitment Reductions:    Loans under the Senior Credit Facilities may be prepaid and unused commitments under the Revolving Facility may be reduced at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Borrower, upon notice and in minimum principal amounts and in multiples to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs). Any optional prepayment of the Term Loan Facility will be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments thereof as directed by the Borrower.
Call Protection:    Notwithstanding the foregoing section, if on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, a Repricing Event (as defined below) occurs, the Borrower will pay a premium (the “Call Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of loans under the Term Loan Facility subject to such Repricing Event.
   As used herein, the term “Repricing Event” shall mean (a) any prepayment or repayment of loans under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds of, or any conversion of loans under the Term Loan Facility into, any new or replacement loans or similar bank indebtedness bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmark floors and original issue discount) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the loans under the Term Loan Facility subject to such event (as such comparative yields are determined by the Administrative Agent) and (b) any amendment to the definitive documentation which reduces the “effective yield” (other than as a result of no longer applying the default rate) applicable to all or a portion of the loans under the Term Loan Facility (it being understood that any Call Premium with respect to a Repricing Event shall apply to any required assignment by a non-consenting Lender in connection with any such amendment pursuant to so-called “yank-a-bank” provisions).
Documentation Principles:    The documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities will include, among other items, a credit agreement, guarantees and appropriate pledge, security and other collateral documents and related certificates and documentation (collectively, the “Financing Documentation”), all consistent with this Summary of Terms and Conditions. The credit agreement for the Senior Credit Facilities will be negotiated in good faith as promptly as reasonably practicable and will be substantially consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, provided that it shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in this Summary of Terms and Conditions, changes necessary to satisfy administrative, policy and operational requirements of BBVA Compass and such other changes as may be mutually agreed by the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and the Borrower negotiating in good faith, and with modifications to be negotiated in good faith, giving due regard to the operational and strategic requirements of Borrower and its subsidiaries in light of its size, industry, practices, proposed business plans and the financial model and other projections provided by Borrower to the Lead Arranger and the Lenders (giving effect to the Acquisition). The Financing Documentation may, at the election of the Lead Arranger and the Company, be structured as an amendment to, or an amendment and restatement of, the Existing Credit Agreement, without novation thereof.

 

Exhibit B-8


Conditions to Closing and Funding:    The availability of the initial borrowing and other extensions of credit under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date will be subject solely to the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter.

ADDENDUM I

PRICING, FEES AND EXPENSES

 

Interest Rate Options:    At the Borrower’s option (other than with respect to Swingline Loans (which shall be ABR Loans)), Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) and LIBOR Loans will be available as follows:
   Alternate Base Rate Option:
   Interest shall be at the Alternate Base Rate of the Agent plus the Applicable Margin (defined below), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days. Interest payments are due quarterly in arrears. The Alternate Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 12 of 1%; (b) the prime commercial lending rate of Compass Bank as announced from time to time; and (c) one-month LIBOR (which shall not in any event be less than 0%) plus 1%. In no event shall the Alternate Base Rate be less than 1%.
   LIBOR Option:
   Interest shall be determined for periods (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three, or six months, or, if available to all applicable Lenders, any other period of twelve months or less (as selected by the Borrower), and shall be at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as determined by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (ICE) (or any successor or substitute therefor) as obtained by the Administrative Agent from Reuter’s or Bloomberg (or any successor or substitute for any such service providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided by such service, as determined by the Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) for the corresponding deposits of U.S. Dollars (which shall not in any event be less than 0%) plus the Applicable Margin. Interest will be paid at the end of each Interest Period or quarterly, whichever is earlier, and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed.
   The “Applicable Margin” means, (a) with respect to Term Loans, (i) from the Closing Date until the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter of the Company ending following the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, 5.50% per annum in the case of LIBOR Loans and 4.50% per annum in the case of ABR Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a percentage per annum to be determined in accordance with the pricing grid set forth on Addendum II attached hereto, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (the “Pricing Grid”), and (b) with respect to Revolving Loans, (i) from the Closing Date until the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter of the Company ending following the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, 4.50% per annum in the case of LIBOR Loans and 3.50% per annum in the case of ABR Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a percentage per annum to be determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid.
   Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility.

 

Addendum I-1


Letter of Credit Fees:    A fee (calculated on a 360-day year) equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans shall accrue on the Letter of Credit outstandings, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, an issuance fee of 1/4 of 1% per annum shall be paid to the Fronting Bank for its own account on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit.
Commitment Fee:    Commencing on the Closing Date, a non-refundable fee (calculated on a 360-day year) equal to (a) until the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter of the Company following the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, 0.50 % per annum, and (b) thereafter, a percentage per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, will accrue on the daily average unused portion of the Revolving Facility commitments (whether or not then available), payable quarterly in arrears, on the final Revolving Maturity Date and on the commitment termination date of the Revolving Facility. Swing Line Loans will not be deemed to be utilized for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee.
Default Interest:    At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (or automatically while any payment or bankruptcy Event of Default exists), 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable (but not to exceed the maximum lawful rate).
Expenses:    The Borrower will pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated with the preparation, due diligence, administration, syndication and closing of all Financing Documentation, including, without limitation, the legal fees of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, regardless of whether or not the Senior Credit Facilities are closed. The Borrower will also pay the documented expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of any of the Financing Documentation.

EXHIBIT C

(to Commitment Letter dated as of April 15, 2019)

PROJECT GRATO

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING DATE

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit C shall have the meanings set forth in the Commitment Letter or in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit C shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

The closing and the making of the initial extensions of credit under the Senior Credit Facilities will be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

 

1.

Subject in each case to the Limited Conditionality Provision, the Financing Documentation shall be consistent, in each case, with the Commitment Letter and shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties and the Company, and will have been executed and delivered by the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and the Commitment Parties shall have received customary and reasonably satisfactory legal opinions (including, without limitation, opinions of reasonably necessary special counsel (if any) and local counsel as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent), which shall expressly permit reliance by the successors and permitted assigns of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, evidence of authorization, organizational documents, customary insurance certificates, good standing certificates (with respect to the applicable jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each Loan Party), a customary officer’s certificate, a customary borrowing notice and a solvency certificate of the Company’s chief financial officer (certifying that, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are solvent) in substantially the form of Annex I to this Exhibit C.

 

2.

Subject to the Limited Conditionality Provision, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall have received satisfactory evidence that the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall have a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain exceptions to be set forth in the Financing Documentation consistent with the Term Sheet) lien and security interest in the Collateral (including receipt of all certificates evidencing pledged capital stock or membership or partnership interests, as applicable, with accompanying executed stock powers, all UCC (and PPSA, if applicable) financing statements to be filed in the applicable government filing offices, all intellectual property security agreements to be filed with the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as applicable), and all filings, recordations and searches necessary or desirable in connection with the security interests in and liens on the Collateral shall have been duly made or obtained and all filing and recording fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been duly paid (including UCC, PPSA and other lien searches, intellectual property searches, and insurance policies).

 

3.

Since December 31, 2018 there shall not have occurred a Closing Date Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, or any event, condition or contingency that could reasonably expected to have a Closing Date Material Adverse Effect. “Closing Date Material Adverse Effect” has the meaning given to the term “Material Adverse Change of the Purchased Companies” in the Purchase Agreements.

 

4.

The Commitment Parties shall have received true and correct fully-executed copies of the documentation for the Acquisition and other aspects of the Transactions, including each of the purchase agreements executed in connection with the Acquisition (including all exhibits, annexes, schedules, other attachments and other disclosure letters thereto), dated as of the date of the effectiveness of the Commitment Letter or, as applicable, the date of the subsequent delivery or amendment (including all exhibits, annexes, schedules,

Exhibit C-1


  other attachments and other disclosure letters thereto, the “Purchase Agreements”), along with all other material documentation for the Acquisition, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties (it being agreed that the drafts of the Purchase Agreements delivered by internal counsel to the Company to counsel to the Commitment Parties via email at 11:33pm Eastern time on April 12, 2019, including the schedules, exhibits and other attachments thereto included on such email, are reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties).

 

5.

Both (a) the Sellers shall have made the Rollover Equity Contribution prior to, or substantially simultaneously with, the initial borrowing under the Senior Credit Facilities, and (b) the Acquisition shall have been consummated, or substantially simultaneously with the initial borrowing under the Senior Credit Facilities shall be consummated (including the consummation of the applicable regulatory requirements and receipt of the applicable third party consents, in each case, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), in each case in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to any modifications, amendments, consents or waivers, other than those modifications, amendments, consents or waivers that are materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger and as to which the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger have not consented; provided that (1) any amendment to the definition of “Material Adverse Effect “and any amendment to the “Xerox” provisions or the governing law provisions in the Purchase Agreement shall, in each case, be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, (2) any change to the form of the purchase price shall be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, (3) any reduction to the purchase price shall be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger unless such reduction is applied to reduce the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility dollar for dollar and (4) any increase in the purchase price shall not be deemed to be material and adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger unless such increase is funded with indebtedness.

 

6.

The Refinancing shall have been consummated, and (to the extent applicable) the Lead Arranger shall have received customary payoff letters in connection therewith confirming that all indebtedness with respect thereto shall have been fully repaid (except to the extent outstanding letters of credit are to be continued under the Revolving Credit Facility) and all commitments thereunder shall have been terminated and cancelled and all liens in connection therewith shall have been terminated and released, in each case prior to or concurrently with the initial borrowing under the Senior Credit Facilities; provided that it is understood that the Refinancing with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement may, as agreed by the Company and the Lead Arranger, be accomplished via an amendment to, or amendment and restatement of, the Existing Credit Agreement (in lieu of a full repayment and termination thereof). On the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (including the Target and its subsidiaries) shall have any outstanding indebtedness other than the Senior Credit Facilities and immaterial indebtedness that the Lead Arranger and the Company agree may remain outstanding under the Financing Documentation.

 

7.

Both:

 

  a.

the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and each Lender shall have received at least three business days before the Closing Date all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries that shall have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, a Lead Arranger or a Lender in writing at least five business days prior to the Closing Date and that the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and/or any Lender reasonably determines is required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation Canadian AML Acts (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the PATRIOT Act (provided that such information shall, to the extent requested at least 10 business days prior to the Closing Date, have been provided at least five business days prior to the Closing Date).

 

Exhibit C-2


  b.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q1 Fiscal 2019 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “The quarter ending March 31, 2019 represents another fiscal quarter of financial performance in-line with management’s expectation, including revenue of $47.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.3 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q1 Fiscal 2019 was approximately 1,066,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 666,000 RVUs in Q1 Fiscal 2018, an increase of 60%. On a same-center volume basis, RVUs increased by 8% compared to Q1 Fiscal 2018. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

“As previously announced, the Corporation entered into purchase agreements to acquire 21 imaging centers in Florida and exclusive management rights over 6 imaging centers in Georgia. This transaction and the related financing are expected to close in Q2 2019, and will strengthen our position in one of our key markets, Florida, as well as provide a platform for expansion into Georgia.”

Akumin would like to remind interested parties of the Corporation’s First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results Call, to be held today from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation.


Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2018 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and Kansas. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated May 14, 2019 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

“Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application without restatement of prior year comparatives. Another new standard was also adopted as at January 1, 2019, IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of IFRS 16

During 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), replacing IAS 17, Leases (IAS 17) and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet recognition and measurement model for lessees, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessees recognize a right of use asset representing its control of and right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. As a result of adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Company has recognized an increase of $110,902,436 to both property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities on its condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Lessor accounting remains similar to IAS 17.

IFRS 16 became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it had the option of adopting a fully retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach on transition to IFRS 16. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company applied the requirements of the standard retrospectively with no restatement of the comparative period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company chose to measure all right of use assets retrospectively as if the standard had been applied since lease commencement dates, which is January 1, 2019 for purposes of the Company’s IFRS 16 adoption. Substantially all of the Company’s operating leases are real estate leases for its imaging centres and corporate offices and for medical equipment. Other leased assets include office equipment. The Company recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases except for certain classes of underlying assets in which the underlying asset was considered be of low-value; however, the Company may choose to elect the recognition exemptions regarding short-term leases on a class-by-class basis for new classes, and lease-by-lease basis, respectively, in the future. Due to the removal of rent expense for leases, the Company’s operating expenses are reduced with a corresponding increase to depreciation and an increase to interest costs (due to accretion of the lease liability). There are no significant impacts to the Company’s existing finance leases under IAS 17 as a lessee.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

IFRS 16 permits the use of recognition exemptions and practical expedients. The Company applied the following recognition exemptions and practical expedients:

 

   

Grandfathered the definition of leases for existing contracts at the date of initial application;

 

   

Excluded certain low-value leases from IFRS 16 lease accounting;

 

   

Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics at the date of initial application;

 

   

Excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;

 

   

Used hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application; and

 

   

Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review.

The Company used its incremental borrowing rates as at January 1, 2019 to measure lease liabilities. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for total lease liabilities is 6.0%. Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the Company’s total minimum operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 were $163,728,644 (note 15 of the Company’s 2018 annual financial statements). These lease commitments included optional renewal terms where the Company expects to renew the leases. The difference between this amount and the lease liabilities of $110,902,436 recognized on transition on January 1, 2019 was due to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments.

Changes to accounting policies for leases

The Company did not restate prior year comparative information under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information continues to be reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Lessee accounting policy as a lessee

Applicable from January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments when a lessor makes the leased asset available for use by the Company. Lease payments for assets that are exempt through the low-value exemption are recognized in operating expenses. The measurement of lease liabilities includes the fixed and in-substance fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. Certain leases require the Company to make payments that relate to property taxes, insurance, and other non-rental costs. These costs are typically variable and are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. If applicable, lease liabilities will also include the purchase option exercise price if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, termination penalties if the lease term also reflects the termination option and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the leased asset, a change in expected residual value guarantee, or a change in future lease payments due to a change in index or rate tied to the payment.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The right of use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease liabilities plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of lease incentives received, and decommissioning costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company applies the cost model to the right of use assets with the exception of the fair value model application to right of use assets that meet the definition of investment property in IAS 40, Investment Property. Right of use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses governed by IAS 36, and any remeasurements of lease liabilities. The assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the earlier of the end of the assets’ useful lives or the end of the lease terms.

Discount rates used in the present value calculation are the interest rates implicit in the leases, or if the rates cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Lease terms applied are the contractual non-cancellable periods of the leases plus periods covered by an option to renew the leases if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and the periods covered by an option to terminate the leases if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

The Company has elected to not separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments for leases

The management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. The management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including operational performance and past business practice. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if the management is reasonably certain to renew. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the industry may impact the management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in the management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated balance sheet and the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income.

In determining the carrying amount of right of use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. The management determines the incremental borrowing rate of each leased asset by incorporating the Company’s creditworthiness, the security, term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates in. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

On November 9, 2018, the Company acquired four outpatient diagnostic imaging centres in Broward County, Florida for a cash consideration of approximately $12.1 million (Broward Acquisition), which included assumption of leases (excluding right to use assets) of approximately $1.3 million. It was partly financed through the Syndicated Revolving Facility (note 8). The cash purchase price was reduced during the three months ended March 31, 2019 by approximately $0.1 million due to working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows. The intangible assets consist of the trade name and covenants not to compete. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company updated the fair value of the net accounts receivable based on greater visibility about the business operations.

Collectibility of the receivables is reviewed regularly and an allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses is established as necessary. Current economic conditions and historical collection experience are considered when determining whether to make an allowance. The same factors are considered when determining whether to write off amounts charged to the allowance for credit losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company revised its approach to credit loss estimation to better align with historical and expected collection life cycles. As a result, the Company increased the age of the auto and attorney related accounts receivable without a full provision on its balance sheet to up to two years from one year, while leaving unchanged the age of the non-auto and attorney related accounts receivable without a full provision on its balance sheet at up to one year. The aging of these receivables, net of allowances, is as follows:

Syndicated Loans

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the Syndicated Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (Syndicated Term Loan) of $100,000,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000, of which $11,900,000 was utilized as at March 31, 2019 (the Syndicated Revolving Facility, and together with the Syndicated Term Loan, the Syndicated Loans). The Syndicated Loans can be increased by an additional $40,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900,000 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle Akumin’s previous senior loan for $74,634,848, finance the Rose Acquisition in August 2018 and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. The fair value of the Syndicated Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000,000 as at November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021. The cost of this derivative financial instrument was $155,000. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the financial institution as at March 31, 2019 represented an asset to the Company of $3,731. Changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Syndicated Credit Agreement provides for the following (capitalized terms used below in this note and not defined elsewhere in these notes have the respective meanings given to them in the Syndicated Credit Agreement):

Interest

The interest rates payable on the Syndicated Loans are as follows: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate and (c) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus Applicable Rate. All advances under the Syndicated Loans are currently classified as Eurodollar Rate Loans. The interest rate paid under the Syndicated Credit Agreement as at March 31, 2019 was approximately 6.1% per annum (March 31, 2018 – nil%). With respect to interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2019, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would have increased interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 by approximately $276,000 (March 31, 2018 – $nil).

Payments

The minimum principal payment schedule for the Syndicated Loans is noted herein.

Termination

The termination date of the Syndicated Loans is the earliest of (i) August 15, 2023; and (ii) the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the Syndicated Credit Agreement.

Restrictive covenants

In addition to certain covenants, the Syndicated Credit Agreement places limits on the Company’s ability to declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock (including options or warrants), prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business the Company and the Subsidiaries currently conduct.

Financial covenants

The Syndicated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants including certain leverage ratios.

The Company is in compliance with the financial covenants and has no events of default under the Syndicated Credit Agreement as at March 31, 2019.

Events of default

In addition to the above financial covenants, events of default under the Syndicated Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to pay principal of or interest on any Syndicated Loan when due, failure to pay any fee or other amount due within two days after the same comes due, failure of any loan party to comply with any covenants or agreements in the loan documents (subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements), a representation or warranty contained in the loan documents is incorrect or misleading when made, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default would permit the lenders under the Syndicated Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies.

Security

The Company has, subject to limited exceptions, granted general security over all assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with the Syndicated Loans.

Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition, the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (Wesley Chapel Loan, and collectively with the Bank Loans, the Senior Loans) of $2,000,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related development for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023 and has monthly repayments of $37,742. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908,456 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, Akumin FL entered into a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Lender, respectively) with a face value of $1,500,000 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14). According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount annually on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (Subordinated Note – Earn-out) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 (the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period), subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue based milestones, as follows:

 

  a)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out for any given calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be equal to 50% of any positive difference calculated by subtracting the Base Revenue ($16,000,000) for such calendar year from the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue (defined below) for such calendar year.

 

  b)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be the gross revenue generated by the centres related to the Tampa Acquisition during such calendar year.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

  c)

If Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is less than or equal to $16,000,000, no Subordinated Note – Earn-out shall be payable for such calendar year.

 

  d)

The maximum aggregate amount of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out that may be earned over the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is $4,000,000.

The value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out has been estimated by management using a probability weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. Management estimated the fair value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $160,790 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14). The Subordinated Note – Earn-out was revalued at $173,237 as at March 31, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. As at March 31, 2019, the range of estimated undiscounted Subordinated Note – Earn-out payable is between $nil and $218,183.

Payments and termination

Under the Subordinated Note, the principal amount of $1,500,000 and accrued but unpaid interest is due in full on May 11, 2022 (the Maturity Date). Prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may repay, without penalty, all or any portion of the Subordinated Note, including the Subordinated Note – Earn-out, and accrued but unpaid interest.

Restrictive covenants

The Subordinated Note places certain limits on Akumin FL’s ability to declare dividends or other distributions, incur liens or indebtedness, make investments, undertake mergers or reorganizations or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business.

Financial covenants

None.

Events of default

Events of default under the Subordinated Note include failure to pay principal balance or interest when due, defaults in complying with terms of the Subordinated Note, and the occurrence of bankruptcy events relating to Akumin FL. The occurrence of an event of default would permit the Subordinated Note Lender to declare all amounts borrowed (and any Subordinated Note – Earn-out, once earned), together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

In accordance with the authorization from the Board in November 2017, 230,000 RSUs were granted to certain employees of the Company on January 1, 2018. Subsequently, on March 1, 2018, the Board authorized issuance of 35,000 RSUs on March 1, 2018 and 50,000 RSUs on March 12, 2018 to certain employees of the Company. Each granted RSU entitles the holder to one common share of the Company. These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

 

  a)

During March 2017, the Company issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expired on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

  b)

As previously noted, the Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and 25,000 of these vested RSUs were converted to common shares prior to March 31, 2019.

The stock-based compensation related to RSUs, recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $469,806 (2018 – $1,517,166).

The stock-based compensation related to options, recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $547,806 (2018 – $99,403).

 

12

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is involved in certain legal matters arising from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company records provisions that reflect management’s best estimate of any potential liability relating to these matters. The resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

13

Segmented financial information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

Risk management arising from financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current assets and liabilities were as follows:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

 

   

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The loans to related parties, the Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes and Subordinated Notes – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out is subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.

There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

Subsequent events

 

  i)

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets used in connection with a single imaging centre located in Davie, Florida (Davie Acquisition) from the former operators of such centre for a purchase price of $450,000. The Company is in the process of determining the preliminary purchase price allocation.

 

  ii)

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Akumin Corp., entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (ADG), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres are managed by ADG’s management team. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the Targets).

The total purchase price for the Targets is approximately $214 million, of which $25 million would be satisfied by the issuance of the Company’s common shares at a price of $4.00 per share. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs. Closing of the transactions is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions.

In connection with the acquisition of the Targets, the Company also announced that it had entered into a binding commitment letter with certain lenders (the Lenders), pursuant to which the Lenders would provide Akumin Corp. with credit facilities totaling $380 million, of which $330 million would be advanced as a term facility and $50 million would be a revolver. The proceeds of the term loan would be partly used to refinance the Bank Loans (face value $111.9 million) and to finance approximately $189 million of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of the Targets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated May 14, 2019 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

Overview

We are a provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with 95 centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Illinois and Kansas as of March 31, 2019. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), radiology, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, arthrography and other related procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provides close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

 

   

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

 

   

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16 and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company has initially adopted IFRS 16, Leases, as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application. Other new standard that is also effective from January 1, 2019 onward is IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Please refer to note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further information on the adoption of these new accounting standards. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 28, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Exercise of Certain Outstanding Warrants and RSUs

 

a)

During March 2017 the Company had issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants were expiring on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

b)

The Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and 25,000 of these vested RSUs were converted into common shares prior to March 31, 2019.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q1 2019     6


Subsequent Events

 

a)

On April 1, 2019 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets used in connection with a single imaging centre located in Davie, Florida (Davie Acquisition) from the former operators of such centre for a purchase price of $450. The Company is in the process of determining the preliminary purchase price allocation.

 

b)

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Akumin Corp., entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (ADG), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres are managed by ADG’s management team. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the Targets).

The total purchase price for the Targets is approximately $214 million of which $25 million would be satisfied by the issuance of the Company’s common shares at a price of $4.00 per share. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs. Closing of the transactions is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Collectively, the Targets produced an adjusted EBITDA of approximately $30.3 million on a last twelve months’ basis as at December 31, 2018.

In connection with the acquisition of the Targets, the Company also announced that it had entered into a binding commitment letter with certain lenders (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders would provide Akumin Corp. with credit facilities totaling $380 million, of which $330 million would be advanced as a term facility and $50 million would be a revolver to be used primarily to fund future acquisitions. The proceeds of the term loan would be used to refinance the Bank Loans (face value $111.9 million) and to finance approximately $189 million of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of the Targets, with the balance to be used for other potential acquisitions in the future.

Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 were 1,066 (in thousands) compared to 666 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. In fiscal 2018, the Company completed the Tampa Acquisition effective May 11, 2018, the Rose Acquisition effective August 15, 2018, the Kissimmee Acquisition effective November 1, 2018 and the Broward Acquisition effective November 9, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Acquisitions”). Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions, on a same center volume basis, RVUs were 720 in the thee-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to 666 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Revenue was $47,551 and $33,425 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, approximately 14% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 9% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 34% to 37% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2018 Acquisitions, with increased presence in Florida, which is generally a lower reimbursement state.

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 14% to 15%. The higher reading fees as a percentage of revenue are partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 10% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is attributable to adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 10% of revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 9% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and the fixed nature of certain costs included in third party services and professional fees.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 10% to 9% of revenue, mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 10% of revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for three-month ended March 31, 2019 was $9,251 compared to $6,807 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the thee-month period ended March 31, 2019 was 19% compared to 20% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $2,169 (5% of revenue) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 and net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 was $1,160 (3% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to the timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions, the NCI Acquisitions and recoveries in the three-month period March 31, 2019, partly offset by higher acquisition related costs.

Cash was $18,897 as at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $429, as compared to $19,326 as at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was due to $3,751 provided by operating activities offset by $2,087 and $2,093 used in investing activities and financing activities, respectively. The classification of cash flows was impacted by adoption of IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019.

Accounts receivable were $42,390 as at March 31, 2019, an increase of $12,579, as compared to $29,811 as at December 31, 2018. The increase in accounts receivable is due to: $6,356 of accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for Rose Acquisition, Kissimmee Acquisition and Broward Acquisition, increased business with attorney/auto payors, which have a longer collection cycle, increased revenue in the quarter and seasonally lower collections during the first quarter of the calendar year. As at March 31, 2019, the Company’s days of sales outstanding were approximately 81 days. Excluding attorney/auto payors, days of sales outstanding were approximately 65 days.

Property and equipment was $162,712 as at March 31, 2019, an increase of $107,144, as compared to $55,568 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to $110,902 in right of use assets recognized upon adoption of IFRS 16, $2,214 in capital expenditures, partly offset by $5,874 in depreciation and net disposals of $98.

Intangible assets were $3,412 as at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $257, as compared to $3,669 as at December 31, 2018. This decrease is attributable to amortization of $257 recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $124,113 as at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $6,427 as compared to $130,540 as at December 31, 2018. This decrease is mainly attributable revisions to accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for the Rose Acquisition, the Kissimmee Acquisition and the Broward Acquisition.

Total debt (excluding other lease liabilities) was $117,335 as at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $172 as compared to $117,507 as at December 31, 2018. This decrease is attributable to reduction in finance lease liabilities ($202) and debt principal repayments ($90), partly offset by non-cash interest accretion ($116) and loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($4).

The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $107,540 as at March 31, 2019, an increase of $3,602 as compared to $103,938 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is due to $415 in warrants exercised, increase to contributed surplus of $1,018, and net income of $2,169 earned by the Company during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q1 2019     11


During the quarterly periods presented above, the Company experienced significant growth through acquisitions. The quarter-to-quarter results have been impacted by the timing of these acquisitions. See “Recent Developments” and “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results” of this MD&A for additional information.

The table below shows selected financial information on a last twelve-month (“LTM”) basis for the following periods. All of the following periods include contribution from any acquisition made during the period only starting from the date of such acquisition. For example, during the LTM period ended March 31, 2019, the Company made the following acquisitions: Tampa Acquisition (May 11, 2018), NCI Acquisitions (May 24, 2018), Rose Acquisition (August 15, 2018), Kissimmee Acquisition (November 1, 2018) and Broward Acquisition (November 9, 2018). As a result, the LTM period ended March 31, 2019 does not contain a full twelve months contribution from these acquisitions. The Company monitors the following information to measure its overall financial performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such debt and equity issuances are noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $18,897.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had $117,335 of senior loans payable, subordinated note payable, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2019, $4,983 of these liabilities are due within one year.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q1 2019     12


As at March 31, 2019, we had other lease liabilities of $109,060, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of March 31, 2019, $7,644 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at March 31, 2019, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $3,975. As of March 31, 2019, $862 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital raising in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

Syndicated Loan

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the “Syndicated Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (“Syndicated Term Loan”) of $100,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000, of which, $11,900 was utilized as of March 31, 2019 (the “Syndicated Revolving Facility”, and together with the “Syndicated Term Loan”, the “Syndicated Loans”). The Syndicated Loans can be increased by an additional $40,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the August 2017 Term Loan for $74,635, finance the Rose Acquisition, and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. As of March 31, 2019, the face value of the Syndicated Loans was $111,900 (amortized cost of $109,983).

Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of March 31, 2019, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,791 (amortized cost of $1,711).

Subordinated Note Payable

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement. As of March 31, 2019, the face value of the Subordinated Note was $1,500 (amortized cost of $1,493).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note—Earn-out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note—Earn-out was revalued at $173 as at March 31, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the loans to related parties, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans to related parties. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan and Subordinated Note. Amortization is recorded using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies the derivative financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. There have been no significant changes to those risks impacting the Company since December 31, 2018, nor has there been a significant change in the composition of its financial instruments since December 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of $180.

Share Information

As of the date of this MD&A, we have 62,576,770 common shares issued and outstanding. If all of the stock options of the Company that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to our stock option plan were to be exercised, including options that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 4,213,268 common shares, or approximately 6.73% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

In addition, if all of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to the RSU plan of the Company were to be exercised, including RSUs that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 1,095,656 common shares, or approximately 1.75% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Further, as of the date of this MD&A, there are 1,069,017 warrants to purchase common shares which are issued and outstanding. If those warrants were to be exercised, we would be required to issue an additional 1,069,017 common shares, or approximately 1.71% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that certain senior officers and directors of the Company acquired an aggregate of 532,857 common shares of the Company at $3.50 per share for total cash consideration of $1,865. The shares were acquired pursuant to a previous exercise of a call option by Z Strategies Inc., a corporation controlled by Riadh Zine, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The call option was entered into in connection with Akumin US’s acquisition of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 at the request of certain selling securityholders of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC. On February 8, 2018, Akumin US agreed to lend an aggregate of $500 to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary in connection with the purchase by such officers of a total of approximately 142,857 common shares under that call option, as nominees of Z Strategies Inc. The principal amount remaining from time to time unpaid and outstanding on such loan shall bear interest at 6% per annum and will be payable on the maturity date, being February 8, 2021. Those borrowing officers of the Company have granted a security interest in the common shares purchased by them with the loan proceeds in favour of Akumin US.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q1 2019     15


Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and insurance companies for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

The cost of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company. References in this Circular to the Meeting include any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Information in this Circular as to the common shares (the “Common Shares”) beneficially owned, controlled or directed, by certain shareholders is not within the knowledge of the Company and, accordingly, has been obtained by the Company from publicly-disclosed information and/or furnished by such shareholders.

Voting Information

The following information provides guidance on how to vote your Common Shares.

As a shareholder of Akumin, it is very important that you read this information carefully and then vote your Common Shares, either by proxy or by attending the Meeting.

Voting by proxy means that you are giving the person or people named on your proxy form (each a “proxyholder”) the authority to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. A proxy form is included in this package.

If you vote by proxy, the individuals who are named on the proxy form will vote your Common Shares for you, unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder.

You have the right to appoint a person or company of your choice (who need not be a shareholder) to represent you at the Meeting, other than the individuals designated in the enclosed form of proxy. If you appoint someone else, he or she must be present at the Meeting to vote your Common Shares.

If you are voting your Common Shares by proxy, our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, or other agents we appoint must receive your signed proxy form by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 19, 2019, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day preceding the day of the Meeting. The time limit for deposit of proxies may be waived by the Chair of the Meeting in the Chair’s sole discretion without notice.

How to Vote – Registered Shareholders

You are a registered shareholder if your name appears on your share certificate or on the register maintained by our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company. Your proxy form indicates if you are a registered shareholder.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 3


Voting by Proxy

Registered shareholders have four options to vote by proxy:

 

   

On the Internet – Go to www.voteproxyonline.com and follow the instructions on screen. You will need the 12 digit control number listed on your proxy. You do not need to return your proxy form if you vote on the Internet. At any time, TSX Trust Company may cease to provide Internet voting, in which case registered shareholders can elect to vote by mail, fax or email, as described below.

 

   

By Mail – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and return it in the envelope we have provided. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

 

   

By Fax – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and send it by fax to 416-595-9593. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

 

   

By Email – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and sending a PDF copy to tmxeproxysupport@tmx.com.

If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy form will vote your Common Shares for you unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder.

You have the right to appoint a person or company of your choice who need not be a shareholder to represent you at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form. If you wish to do so, please strike out the two names that are printed on the proxy form and write the name of the person you are appointing in the space provided.

Complete, date and sign the accompanying form of proxy, and submit it in accordance with the instructions prior to the proxy cut-off time. Make sure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she has been appointed and attends the Meeting. At the Meeting, he or she should see a representative of TSX Trust Company at the registration tables. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

Voting in Person at the Meeting

If you are a registered shareholder and choose to vote in person at the Meeting, you do not need to complete or return your proxy form. Please check-in and register with a representative of TSX Trust Company at the registration tables when you arrive at the Meeting. You will need identification to enter the Meeting.

To vote Common Shares registered in the name of a corporation or other legal entity, an authorized officer or attorney of that corporation or legal entity must attend the Meeting in person. This person may have to provide proof that he or she is authorized to act on behalf of the corporation or other legal entity. Shares registered in the name of a corporation or other legal entity cannot be voted in person without adequate proof of authorization.

Changing Your Vote

You can revoke a vote you made by proxy by:

 

   

completing a proxy form that is dated later than the proxy form you are changing and mailing it to TSX Trust Company so that it is received at the address indicated before 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 19, 2019; or

 

   

making a request in writing to the Chair of the Meeting, at the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, before any vote in respect of which the proxy has been given or taken. The written request can be from you or your authorized attorney.

How to Vote – Non-Registered Beneficial Shareholders

You are a non-registered (or beneficial) shareholder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) if your Common Shares are registered either:

 

  a)

in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans (each, an “Intermediary”) that represents the Non-Registered Holder in respect of its Common Shares; or

 

  b)

in the name of a depository (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 4


In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, we will distribute copies of the Notice, the Circular, the form of proxy and the supplemental mailing return list card (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”), either by mail or electronically, if consented, directly to Non-Registered Holders that are non-objecting beneficial owners and to Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders that are objecting beneficial owners. Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive such materials. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will receive a package from their Intermediary containing either:

 

  a)

a voting instruction form that must be properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary in accordance with the instructions on the voting instruction form;

or, less typically,

 

  b)

a form of proxy that has already been stamped or signed by the Intermediary that is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder, but which otherwise has not been completed. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with TSX Trust Company at the address set forth in the Notice.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of Common Shares that they beneficially own. The Company has agreed to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to objecting beneficial owners.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke a voting instruction form or proxy which has been given to an Intermediary by written notice to the Intermediary or by submitting a voting instruction form or proxy bearing a later date in accordance with the applicable instructions. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

We do not have access to the names or holdings of all of our Non-Registered Holders. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either a voting instruction form or a form of proxy wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should follow the instructions contained on the voting instruction form or form of proxy within the time periods specified and appoint themselves (or another person to vote on their behalf). In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and service companies. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and have not received a package containing a voting instruction form or form of proxy, please contact your Intermediary.

At the Meeting, you should see a representative of TSX Trust Company at the table marked “Alternate attorneys/External proxyholders.”

Completing the Proxy Form

You can choose to vote “For”, “Against” or “Withhold”, depending on the items listed on the proxy form.

When you sign the proxy form, you authorize the directors and officers of the Company who are named in the proxy form to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting according to your instructions, unless you have appointed someone else to act as your proxy. If you return your proxy form and do not tell us how you want to vote your Common Shares, your vote will be counted: (a) FOR electing the nominee directors who are listed in the Circular and (b) FOR appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors.

If you are appointing someone else to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting, strike out the two names of the individuals on the proxy form and write the name of the person voting for you in the space provided. If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, your proxyholder will vote your Common Shares as he or she sees fit on each item and on any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting.

If you are an individual shareholder, you or your authorized attorney must sign the form. If you are a corporation or other legal entity, an authorized officer or attorney must sign the form.

If you need help completing your proxy form, please contact TSX Trust Company – Investor Services within Canada and the United States toll-free at 1-866-600-5869, and from all other countries at 1-416-342-1091.

Record Date, Quorum and Votes Necessary to Pass Resolutions

Each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 22, 2019 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to vote at the Meeting the Common Shares registered in his or her name on that date. The quorum for any meeting of shareholders is two who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 10% of the Common Shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) and our Articles, a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting (by person or proxy) is required to pass an ordinary resolution.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to: (a) pass an ordinary resolution to elect directors to the board of directors; and (b) pass an ordinary resolution to appoint auditors for the ensuing year and to authorize the members of the Audit Committee of the Company to fix such auditor’s remuneration.

Business of the Meeting

To the knowledge of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and management of the Company, the only matters to be brought before the Meeting are those set out in the accompanying Notice and more particularly detailed below.

Receiving the Audited Annual Financial Statements

We will place before the Meeting the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the auditors’ report thereon, for our 2018 fiscal year end, being the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. These financial statements, together with the management’s discussion and analysis thereon, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company’s website at www.akumin.com.

You will be electing a Board of five members. Please see “Election of Directors” in this Circular for more information. Directors appointed at the Meeting will serve, subject to our Articles and the OBCA, until the end of the next annual shareholder meeting. All of the individuals who have been nominated as directors are currently members of the Board and have been since before the closing of our initial public offering on December 1, 2017.

Election of Directors

Majority Voting Policy

In accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), our Board has adopted a “Majority Voting Policy” to the effect that a nominee for election as a director who does not receive a greater number of votes “for” than votes “withheld” in an election shall tender his or her resignation to the Chair promptly following the meeting of shareholders at which such votes are cast. Our Governance Committee will consider such tendered resignation and make a recommendation to our Board whether to accept it or not. Our Board will promptly accept the resignation unless it determines, in consultation with our Governance Committee, that there are exceptional circumstances that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. Our Board will make its decision and announce it in a press release within 90 days following the meeting of shareholders. A director who tenders a resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any meeting of our Board or our Governance Committee at which the resignation is considered.

Nominees

The Articles provide that the Board shall consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of ten directors, with the actual number to be determined from time to time by the Board. The Board has determined that, at the present time, there will be five directors, each of whom is to be elected at this Meeting and who will hold office until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless prior thereto he or she resigns or his or her office becomes vacated by reason of death or other cause, or until their successors are elected or appointed.

All nominees have established their eligibility and willingness to serve as directors. If, prior to the Meeting, any of the listed nominees become unable or unavailable to serve, proxies will be voted for any other nominee or nominees at the discretion of the proxyholder. As of the date hereof, management of the Company does not expect that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. However, if for any reason at the time of the Meeting any of the nominees are unable to serve, and unless otherwise specified, it is intended that the persons designated in the form of proxy will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee or nominees.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The following discussion describes the significant elements of executive compensation program, with particular emphasis on the process for determining compensation payable to the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity (collectively, the “NEOs”). The NEO’s are:

 

   

Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer, Director;

 

   

Mohammad Saleem, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary;

 

   

Rohit Navani, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer;

 

   

Amy Adams, Senior Vice President; and

 

   

Laura Kassa, Senior Vice President.

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve our business and financial objectives, we need to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers. We expect our team to possess and demonstrate strong leadership and management capabilities, as well as foster our culture, which is at the foundation of our success and remains a pivotal part of our everyday operations.

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

 

   

provide market-competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

 

   

motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives;

 

   

align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of our business; and

 

   

provide incentives that encourage appropriate levels of risk-taking by our executive officers and provide a strong pay-for-performance relationship.

We offer our executive officers cash compensation in the form of base salary, an annual bonus and equity-based compensation in the form of stock options pursuant to an amended and restated stock option plan dated November 14, 2017 (the “Option Plan”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”) pursuant to an amended and restated restricted share unit plan dated November 14, 2017 (the “RSU Plan”). We provide our base salaries at levels that we believe are necessary to attract and retain executive officer talent. While we have determined that our current executive compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, we evaluate our compensation practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for our executive team.

We believe that equity-based compensation awards motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives, and also align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. We provide base salary to compensate employees for their day-to-day responsibilities, at levels that we believe are necessary to attract and retain executive officer talent. While we have determined that our current executive officer compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, we evaluate our compensation practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for our executive team.

This includes evaluating our compensation philosophy and compensation program as circumstances require. As part of this review process, we expect to be guided by the philosophy and objectives outlined above, as well as other factors which may become relevant, including the ability to attract and retain key employees and to adapt to growth and other changes in our business and industry.

Compensation Governance

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting our Board in fulfilling its governance and supervisory responsibilities, and overseeing our human resources, succession planning, and compensation policies, processes and practices. Our Compensation Committee is also responsible for ensuring that our compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with our risk profile.

Our Board has adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee setting out its responsibilities for administering our compensation programs and reviewing and making recommendations to our Board concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to our directors and officers. Our Compensation Committee’s oversight includes reviewing objectives, evaluating performance and ensuring that total compensation paid to our executive officers and various other key employees is fair, reasonable and consistent with the objectives of our philosophy and compensation program. See also “Corporate Governance – Committees of our Board – Compensation Committee.”

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 13


Principal Elements of Compensation

The compensation of our executive officers includes three major elements: (a) base salary; (b) short-term incentives, consisting of an annual bonus; and (c) long-term equity incentives, currently consisting of Options and RSUs granted from time to time under our Option Plan and RSU Plan, respectively. Perquisites and personal benefits are not a significant element of compensation of our executive officers.

Base Salaries

Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers. Adjustments to base salaries are expected to be determined annually and may be increased based on the executive officer’s success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive officer’s role or responsibilities.

Annual Bonuses

Discretionary annual bonuses are designed to motivate our executive officers to meet our business and financial objectives generally and our annual financial performance targets in particular. The Compensation Committee establishes performance targets with the objective of rewarding senior management with a short-term incentive award proportionate to the success of the Company in achieving those targets. The non-equity annual incentive plans pay a cash bonus that is intended to reward each executive for his or her yearly individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of overall annual corporate performance.

Long-Term Incentives – Stock Options and Restricted Stock Unites

The executive officers, along with our directors, employees and consultants, will be eligible to participate in the long-term incentive program which will be comprised of Options and RSUs issued pursuant to the Option Plan and RSU Plan, respectively. The purpose of the long-term incentive program is to promote greater alignment of interests between employees and shareholders and to support the achievement of the Company’s longer-term performance objectives while providing a long-term retention element.

Our Board will be responsible for administering both the Option Plan and the RSU Plan, and the Compensation Committee will make recommendations to our Board in respect of matters relating to the Option Plan and RSU Plan. Previous grants are taken into account when considering new option grants.

Option Plan

Under the terms of the Option Plan, our Board, or, if authorized by our Board, such committee of the Board to which the Board may choose to delegate such authority, may grant Options to certain “eligible participants”. Eligible participants include any employee, executive officer, director or consultant of: (a) the Company; or (b) any affiliate of the Company (and includes any such person who is on a leave of absence authorized by the Board or the board of directors of any affiliate), and also includes certain permitted assigns of any such person.

Participation in the Option Plan is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of Options will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any eligible participant in any Option is not assignable or transferable. The exercise price for the Options will be the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on an internationally recognized Canadian exchange (including the TSX) for the five trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Option is granted, or such greater amount as the Board may determine; provided, however, that the exercise price of an Option shall not be less than the minimum exercise price required by the applicable rules of the exchange.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under our Option Plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, including the RSU Plan) is 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2018, this represented 6,237,127 Common Shares. Any increase in the issued and outstanding Common Shares will result in an increase in the available number of the Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan, and any exercise of options will make new grants available under the Option Plan.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 14


Unless otherwise fixed by the Board at the time an option is granted (as set forth in a grant agreement), and subject to any applicable rules of the TSX, the Option Plan provides that: (a) the expiry date of an option will be the seventh anniversary of the date of grant; and (b) options will vest over a three year period following the date of such grant as follows:

 

   

on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant: 34%;

 

   

on or after the second anniversary of the date of grant: 33%; and

 

   

on or after the third anniversary of the date of grant: 33%.

In the event that an eligible participant receives Common Shares from the Company in satisfaction of a grant of options during a Company-imposed black-out period, the holder shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares until such black-out period has expired. In the event that a participant’s options are set to expire during a black-out period, such expiry date shall be automatically extended for ten business days after the expiry of the black-out period following the date the relevant black-out period is lifted, terminated or removed.

The maximum number of Common Shares:

 

  a)

issuable to “insiders” (as defined under Section 1 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) at any time under the Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time; and

 

  b)

issued to such insiders within any one-year period under the Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time.

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of Options under the Option Plan, including termination for cause, termination other than for cause and death, subject to the terms of a participant’s employment agreement:

 

Event Provisions

  

Provisions

Termination for Cause    All vested and unvested options held by the holder will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect on the date on which Akumin gives notice of termination for cause.
Ceasing to be a (non-executive) Director    The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be a director will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date that is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant (as a result of his or her ceasing to be a director of the Company). Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be a director will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Voluntary Resignation or Termination without Cause    The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder voluntarily resigns or is terminated by the Company without cause will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 30 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant (as a result of his or her voluntary resignation or termination without cause). Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder voluntary resigns or is terminated by the Company without cause will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Disability    The Board may in its discretion determine that a holder with a disability shall no longer be an eligible participant. If so, the expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant. Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Retirement    The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant as a result of his or her retirement in accordance with the Company’s then applicable retirement policy or a determination of the Board will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant. Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Death    The expiry date for options that had vested immediately prior to the death of the holder will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days after the date of such holder’s death. Options that are outstanding but unvested immediately prior to the holder’s death will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect upon the death of the holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, but subject to applicable laws and TSX rules, extend the expiry date of options referenced above.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 15


In connection with a change of control of the Company, any surviving or acquiring corporation must:

 

  a)

assume any option outstanding under the Option Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as the Option Plan; or

 

  b)

substitute or replace similar stock options (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the securityholders of the Company as part of the change of control transaction) for those options outstanding under the Option Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as the Option Plan.

In the event any surviving or acquiring corporation neglects or refuses (as determined by the Board, acting reasonably) to assume any options or to substitute or replace similar stock options for those outstanding options under the Option Plan, then with respect to any options which remain outstanding, the vesting of such options will automatically and without further action by the Board or the Company be immediately accelerated so that such options will be fully vested. In addition, in such event, the Board may determine that outstanding options will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such change of control transaction. The Board may also, in its discretion, conditionally or otherwise, in the event of a change of control subject to the terms of the Option Plan, accelerate the vesting date of unvested options and to modify the terms of options to assist the holders to tender their securities in a takeover bid.

Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Option Plan or any portion thereof in accordance with applicable legislation, and subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval; provided, however, that such amendment, suspension or termination will not, without the consent of the eligible participant, alter or impair any options previously granted under the Option Plan, or any rights pursuant thereto granted previously to any eligible participant.

The Board may, subject to any necessary regulatory approval, at its discretion from time to time, amend the Option Plan and the terms and conditions of any option thereafter to be granted and may make such amendment for the purpose of complying with any changes in any relevant law, rule, regulation, regulatory requirement or requirement of the TSX, or for any other purpose which may be permitted by law, provided always that any such amendment will:

 

  a)

not adversely alter or impair any option previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the Option Plan;

 

  b)

be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX; and

 

  c)

be subject to shareholder approval, where required by law, the requirements of the TSX or the Option Plan or any other governmental entity.

Shareholder approval is required for certain amendments to the Option Plan, including, but not limited to, amendments providing for: (a) an increase in the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable from the Company’s treasury pursuant to options granted under the Option Plan; and (b) an extension of the time under which an option expires beyond its original expiry date.

The Board may from time to time, in its discretion and without the approval of shareholders or eligible participants, make changes to the Option Plan any option which may include, but are not limited to, the following matters:

 

  a)

any amendment of a “housekeeping” nature, including, without limitation, those made to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the Option Plan, correct or supplement any provision of the Option Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Option Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the Option Plan regarding administration of the Option Plan;

 

  b)

changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any option;

 

  c)

any amendment to the Option Plan respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the Option Plan; and

 

  d)

an amendment of the Option Plan or an option as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the Option Plan, the participants or the shareholders of the Company.

RSU Plan

Under the terms of the RSU Plan, our Board, or if authorized by our Board, such committee of the Board to which the Board may choose to delegate such authority, may grant RSUs to “eligible participants”. Eligible participants include any employee, executive officer, director or consultant of: (a) the Company; or (b) any affiliate of the Company (and includes any such person who is on a leave of absence authorized by the Board or the board of directors of any affiliate), and also includes certain permitted assigns of any such person.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 16


Participation in the RSU Plan is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of RSUs will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any eligible participant in any RSU is not assignable or transferable. Each RSU entitles an eligible participant to receive one Common Share in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSU Plan.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under our RSU Plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, including the Option Plan) is 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are issued and outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2018, this represented 6,237,127 Common Shares. For greater certainty, any increase in the issued and outstanding Common Shares will result in an increase in the available number of the Common Shares issuable under the RSU Plan, and any exercise of RSUs will make new grants available under the RSU Plan. Each RSU granted or credited to an eligible participant entitles such holder to one Common Share in the capital of the Company.

Except as otherwise provided in a grant agreement or any other provision of the RSU Plan, the vesting dates shall be determined as follows:

 

   

12 of the RSUs granted shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant; and

 

   

12 of the RSUs granted shall vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant.

In the event that an eligible participant receives Common Shares from the Company in satisfaction of a grant of RSUs during a Company-imposed black-out period, the holder shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares until such black-out period has expired. In the event that a participant’s RSUs are set to expire during a black-out period, such expiry date shall be automatically extended for ten business days after the expiry of the black-out period following the date the relevant black-out period is lifted, terminated or removed.

The maximum number of Common Shares:

 

  a)

issuable to “insiders” (as defined under Section 1 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) at any time pursuant to the exercise of RSUs granted under the RSU Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time; and

 

  b)

issued to such insiders within any one year period under the RSU Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time.

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of RSUs under the RSU Plan, including termination for cause, termination other than for cause and death, subject to the terms of a participant’s employment agreement:

 

Event Provisions

  

Provisions

Termination for cause    All unvested RSUs expire on the termination date and are of no further force or effect and such holder shall no longer be eligible for a grant of RSUs.
Ceasing to be a Director    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Termination other than for cause    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Disability    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Retirement    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Death    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.

In connection with a change of control of the Company, our Board has the right to provide for the conversion or exchange of any outstanding RSUs into or for units, rights or other securities in any entity participating in or resulting from a change of control, provided that the value of previously granted RSUs and the rights of participants are not materially adversely affected by any such changes.

Our Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the RSU Plan at any time, or from time to time, amend, revise or discontinue the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan or of any RSU granted under the RSU Plan and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any required regulatory, TSX and shareholder approval, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the RSU Plan or as required by applicable laws.

The Board may from time to time, in its discretion and without the approval of shareholders of the Company or eligible participants, make changes to the RSU Plan or any RSUs that do not require the approval of shareholders of the Company, provided always that such amendment or revision shall: (a) not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the RSU Plan; (b) be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX; and (c) where required by law, be subject to shareholder approval, the

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 17


requirements of the TSX or the RSU Plan. On this basis, amendments may include, but are not limited to the following matters:

 

  a)

any amendment of a “housekeeping” nature, including, without limitation, those made to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the RSU Plan, correct or supplement any provision of the RSU Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the RSU Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the RSU Plan regarding administration of the RSU Plan;

 

  b)

changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any RSUs;

 

  c)

any amendment to the RSU Plan respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the RSU Plan; and

 

  d)

an amendment of the RSU Plan or an RSU as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the RSU Plan, the participants or the shareholders of the Company.

In the event a dividend becomes payable on the Common Shares, then on the payment date for such dividend, each participant’s notional account shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board in respect of any grant of RSUs, be credited with additional RSUs (including fractional RSUs) of the same kind as credited in such participant’s applicable notional account, the number of which shall be determined by dividing: (i) the amount determining by multiplying: (a) the number of RSUs in such participant’s notional account (whether vested or unvested) on the record date for the payment of such dividend by; (b) the dividend paid per Common Share; by (ii) the market value of a Common Share on the dividend payment date for such dividend, in each case, with fractions computed to two decimal places. Such additional RSUs (including fractional RSUs), if credited, shall vest on the same basis as the underlying RSUs.

Share Performance Graph

The following graph and chart compare the cumulative total shareholder return on Common Shares from December 1, 2017, when the Company became a reporting issuer, through December 31, 2018, with a cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Capped Healthcare Index, S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index during the same period, assuming a $100 initial investment and the reinvestment of any dividends.

 

LOGO

The trend in the above performance graph shows an investment in the Company has largely maintained its value over the 13-month period since the Company completed its initial public offering and has performed in line with comparable indices.

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 18


As we have only completed one year as a public company, there is limited information available to establish trends related to NEO compensation over the same period. Since we completed our initial public offering in December 2017, base salary for our NEOs has remained unchanged. Our executive compensation programs place a large emphasis on at-risk pay in the form of equity-based compensation such that our NEOs are aligned with the same return on investment that shareholders have realized and would realize over the long term. Equity and non-equity compensation programs for our NEOs are tied to financial and non-financial metrics designed for the specific NEO and their duties and responsibilities and our long-term business plans, which include building scale, increasing profitability and improving return on capital. As a result, total compensation may not always be tied to share performance. It is our philosophy to pay compensation to our NEOs and other executive officers at competitive levels in order to retain and motivate those executives who are critical to the long-term success of the Company.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets out information concerning the compensation earned by, paid to, or awarded to the persons determined to be NEOs in Fiscal 2018. The Company completed its initial public offering on December 1, 2017. As a result, compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and prior periods have not been disclosed.

Employment Agreements, Termination and Change of Control Benefits

Employment agreements are in place for each of the NEOs. The contracts set out the principal terms of the employment relationship between the Company or an affiliate of the Company, as applicable, including the NEO’s overall role, the expectations of the Company with respect to business practices and financial terms. Such employment agreements also include provisions regarding confidentiality and non-competition (within a 20-mile radius of any facility of the Company during the term of employment and for a period of one year after termination) as well as eligibility for our benefit plans.

For Mr. Zine and Mr. Navani, in the case of termination of employment by the Company without cause, each will be entitled to: (a) a lump sum payment equal to two years of Mr. Zine or Mr. Navani’s then current base salary; and (b) a lump sum representing the value of Mr. Zine or Mr. Navani’s annual bonus prorated to reflect the duration of the “notice period” (being 2 years), which: (i) if termination occurs on or after January 1, 2019 but before December 31, 2019, will be equal to the annual bonus paid to Mr. Zine or Mr. Navani in Fiscal 2018 pro rated for the notice period; or (ii) if termination occurs on or after January 1, 2020 and any year of employment thereafter, will be equal to the average annual bonus paid to Mr. Zine or Mr. Navani in the previous two fiscal years. The same entitlements apply in the event that Mr. Zine or Mr. Navani resigns from employment with the Company within the twelve-month period following a change of control event.

Corporate Governance

General

The Board believes that sound corporate governance practices are essential to the proper management and operation of our business. This includes compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and best practices that go beyond the requirements mandated by regulation.

We recognize that good corporate governance plays an important role in our overall success and in enhancing shareholder value and, accordingly, we have adopted certain corporate governance policies and practices.

Disclosure of our governance practices as required under National Instrument 58-101Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) is set out below and describes our approach to corporate governance.

To comply with these various standards and achieve best practices, we have adopted comprehensive corporate governance policies and procedures. Our key policies and documents include the following:

 

   

Mandate of the Board of Directors

 

   

Charters of the Board Committees, including the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee

 

   

Code of Conduct

 

   

Whistleblower Policy

 

   

Disclosure Policy

 

   

Insider Trading Policy

 

   

Corporate Governance Guidelines (which includes our majority voting policy)

Composition of our Board and Board Committees

Under our Articles, our Board is to consist of a minimum of one and a maximum of 10 directors, as determined from time to time by the directors.

 

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 21


The size of the Board is currently set at five directors. The directors will be elected by shareholders at each annual meeting of shareholders and all directors will hold office for a term expiring at the close of the next annual meeting or until their respective successors are elected or appointed.

Pursuant to the disclosure contemplated by Item 15 of Form 58-101F1 – Corporate Governance Disclosure, the Company currently has no female directors. Of the five NEO’s, two (or 40%) are women.

Director Independence

A director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Pursuant to NI 52-110, an independent director is a director who is free from any direct or indirect relationship which could, in the view of our Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director’s independent judgment. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that of the five directors on our Board, Riadh Zine will not currently be considered independent because of his management role with the Company and Stan Dunford will not be considered independent because of his present ownership of more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company (pursuant to applicable securities laws). Certain members of our Board are also members of the board of directors of other public companies. Our Board has not adopted a director interlock policy, but is keeping informed of other public directorships held by its members.

Meetings of Independent Directors and Conflicts of Interest

Our Board believes that, given its size and structure, it is able to facilitate independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities.

If the chair of the Company (the “Chair”) is not independent, then the Company shall appoint an independent lead director from among the directors who shall serve for such term as the Board may determine. In circumstances where the Chair has a material interest in a matter before the Board and cannot participate owing to a conflict in respect thereof, the lead director shall fill in for the role of the Chair (for a whole meeting or any part of a meeting). Murray Lee has been appointed as lead director by our Board and is responsible for ensuring that the directors who are independent of management have opportunities to meet without management present, as required. The lead director shall be appointed and replaced from time to time by a majority of independent directors and shall be an independent director. Discussions will be led by the lead director who will provide feedback subsequently to the Chair.

A director who has a material interest in a matter before our Board or any committee on which he or she serves is required to disclose such interest as soon as the director becomes aware of it. In situations where a director has a material interest in a matter to be considered by our Board or any committee on which he or she serves, such director may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors will also be required to comply with the relevant provisions of the OBCA regarding conflicts of interest.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

Our Board has not adopted director term limits or other automatic mechanisms of board renewal. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of board renewal, the Governance Committee of our Board will seek to maintain the composition of our Board in a way that provides, in the judgement of our Board, the best mix of skills and experience to provide for our overall stewardship. Our Governance Committee also is expected to conduct a process for the assessment of our Board, each committee and each director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and performance, and to report evaluation results to our Board.

Mandate of our Board of Directors

Our Board is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs, including providing guidance and strategic oversight to management. Our Board has adopted a formal mandate in the form set forth in Appendix “B” that includes the following:

 

   

appointing the President and Chief Executive Officer;

 

   

approving the corporate goals and objectives that the President and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for meeting and reviewing the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer against such corporate goals and objectives;

 

AKUMIN INC. | Management Information Circular | 2018 22


   

taking steps to satisfy itself as to the integrity of the President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers and that the President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers create a culture of integrity throughout the organization; and

 

   

reviewing and approving management’s strategic and business plans.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for the Chair, which sets out the Chair’s key responsibilities, including, among others, duties relating to setting Board meeting agendas, chairing Board and shareholder meetings, director development and communicating with shareholders and regulators. Our Board has also adopted a written position description for our lead director.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for each of our committee chairs which sets out each of the committee chair’s key responsibilities, including, among other things, duties relating to setting committee meeting agendas, chairing committee meetings and working with the respective committee and management to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, the effective functioning of the committee.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for our President and Chief Executive Officer which sets out the key responsibilities of our President and Chief Executive Officer, including, among other duties in relation to providing overall leadership, ensuring the development of a strategic plan and recommending such plan to our Board for consideration, ensuring the development of an annual corporate plan and budget that supports the strategic plan and recommending such plan to our Board for consideration and supervising day-to-day management and communicating with shareholders and regulators.

Orientation and Continuing Education

We have implemented an orientation program for new directors under which a new director will meet with the Chair, the lead director, members of senior management and our secretary. It is anticipated that new directors will be provided with comprehensive orientation and education as to the nature and operation of Akumin and our business, the role of our Board and its committees, and the contribution that an individual director is expected to make. Our Governance Committee will be responsible for overseeing director continuing education designed to maintain or enhance the skills and abilities of the directors and to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of our business remains current. The chair of each committee will be responsible for coordinating orientation and continuing director development programs relating to the committee’s mandate.

Code of Conduct

Our Board has adopted a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behaviour. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board will have ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct and it will monitor compliance through our Governance Committee. Directors, officers and employees will be required to annually certify that they have not violated the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct will be filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Committees of our Board

Our Board has established three committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

Detailed information about our Audit Committee, including the mandate of the Audit Committee and a copy of its charter, can be found in our Annual Information Form for the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017 on www.sedar.com under the heading “Directors and Officers – Audit Committee”.

Our Governance Committee also takes reasonable steps to evaluate and assess, on an annual basis, directors’ performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our Chair and committee chairs. The assessment will address, among other things, individual director independence, individual director and overall Board skills, and individual director financial literacy. Our Board will receive and consider the recommendations from our Governance Committee regarding the results of the evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our Chair and committee chairs.

Akumin Closes US$382 million Refinancing and Previously Announced Acquisitions

June 3, 2019 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU.U, AKU) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today it closed, effective May 31, 2019, the previously announced refinancing of its credit facilities. The new credit facilities are for an aggregate principal amount of US$382 million and include a Term Loan A facility of US$66 million, a Term Loan B facility of US$266 million and a revolving credit facility of US$50 million. US$16 million of the Term Loan A facility is subject to a delayed draw and is available to Akumin for use in potential acquisitions until August 29, 2019. The remainder of the term loans were advanced on May 31, 2019 and the proceeds were used to refinance Akumin’s existing credit facilities and finance acquisitions. The revolving credit facility may be used for acquisitions, investments and other general corporate purposes. Also on May 31, 2019, Akumin acquired a single diagnostic imaging center in Deltona, Florida through a subsidiary.

Contemporaneously with the closing of its refinancing, Akumin closed its previously announced transactions to acquire Advanced Diagnostics Group (“ADG”), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and management of Elite Radiology of Georgia. As a result of the closing, Akumin indirectly holds all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Targets”). The total purchase price for the Targets was approximately US$214 million of which US$25 million was satisfied by the issuance of Akumin shares at a price of US$4.00 per share. Part of the purchase price for SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, the exclusive manager of Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC, is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs and expenses.

“The successful closing of this US$382 million financing is proof of the foundation we built as a company to successfully execute on a market consolidation strategy,” said Riadh Zine, Akumin’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are very appreciative of the support provided and the capital deployed by all the relationship banks and US debt institutions. The trust that our debt capital providers have placed in our team makes us more focused to realize the vision we have always had for Akumin.”

About the Credit Facilities

The Term Loan A, Term Loan B and revolving credit facilities all have a term of 5 years, maturing on May 31, 2024. The Term Loan A and revolving credit facilities bear interest at an index based on either LIBOR or a base rate, in each case plus a margin based on Akumin’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The margin at closing was set at 4.50% for Eurodollar rate loans or 3.50% for base rate loans. The Term Loan B facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.00% for Eurodollar rate loans or the base rate plus 5.00 % for base rate loans.

The credit facilities were led by BBVA Compass, as administrative agent, and BBVA Securities Inc., as lead arranger and sole bookrunner. The syndicate includes HIG Whitehorse, TCW Asset Management Company LLC, Comvest Capital IV, L.P., The Bank of Nova Scotia, BankUnited, National Bank of Canada, BC Partners and A-Cap Investments.


The credit facilities may be incrementally increased by up to US$100 million subject to lender commitment and certain other conditions. The credit facilities are secured against substantially all of Akumin’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.

About the Targets

Advanced Diagnostic Group operates 14 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers across Florida, each as an independent diagnostic testing facility, with a particular focus on personal injury imaging. In 2018, ADG’s management team took over management of The Imaging Centers of West Palm, which operates 7 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in South Florida.

SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC has the exclusive right to manage the non-clinical and administrative affairs of Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC, a physician-owned practice which operates six outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Facility Adjustments provided by this Amendment shall each be effective upon the First Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the conditions to effectiveness of the Facility Adjustments and the amendments set forth in Section 2 above are limited to the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the First Amendment Effective Date as set forth below and (iii) no increase to the Term Loan (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as Term A Loans and/or Term B Loans provided herein shall constitute an incurrence of or increase to the facilities provided under Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement or of the Credit Agreement.

(d) To the extent not otherwise a Lender prior to the date of this Amendment, the Lenders providing any portion of the facilities under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Joining Lenders”) are parties to this Amendment for the purposes of agreeing to the Credit Agreement, becoming party thereto and becoming bound by the provisions thereof in the capacity of a Lender and providing their portion of the Term A Loans (including the Delayed Draw Term Commitment), Term B Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans.

4. Joinder of Joining Lenders. By its execution of this Amendment, each Joining Lender hereby confirms and agrees that, on and after the First Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender, shall have all of the rights and be obligated to perform all of the obligations of a Lender thereunder and its Term A Loans (including its Delayed Draw Term Commitment), Term B Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitment shall be as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex II hereto. Each Joining Lender severally, and not jointly, further (a) represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) it meets all requirements of an Assignee under Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement (subject to receipt of such consents as may be required under the Credit Agreement, which such consents shall be deemed provided, to the extent required, by each Person that executes this Amendment), (iii) from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (iv) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Credit Agreement on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, agent or arranger; and (b) agrees that (i) it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent,

 

3


or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and (ii) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

5. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties (including, without limitation, each Joining Guarantor), by its execution of this Amendment, hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the First Amendment Effective Date as follows:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of the shareholders or members of such Loan Party, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award presently in effect having applicability to such Loan Party or of the constitutional documents, charter or bylaws of such Loan Party, (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any material indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease, or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv) result in the creation of a Lien of any nature upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party (other than Permitted Liens);

(b) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (in each case, as amended hereby) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Parties, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Debtor Relief Laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies;

(c) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this clause (c), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, as applicable; and

(d) after the effectiveness of this Amendment on the First Amendment Effective Date, the borrowing of Loans and the provision of the Delayed Draw Term Commitments and the Revolving Credit Commitments set forth herein, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6. Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments to the Credit Agreement herein provided are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (the date of such satisfaction, the “First Amendment Effective Date”):

4


(b) All outstanding Swing Line Loans made under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement by the Swing Line Lender under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement plus all accrued fees, expenses and interest thereon, shall be repaid at least one (1) Business Day prior to the First Amendment Effective Date;

(e) Receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to it that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the Credit Agreement have been satisfied.

7. No Novation; Reaffirmation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereunder is intended to constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents or any obligations thereunder. Each Loan Party (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents as amended hereby, (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge any Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and (d) confirms that the Collateral Documents and the Liens granted thereunder remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry into this Amendment.

8. Departing Lenders. By its execution of this Amendment, each of the parties signatory hereto acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date and the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds to each Departing Lender of all Obligations (including, without limitation, all principal amounts and accrued but unpaid interest) then owing to it under the Credit Agreement, (a) each Departing Lender shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement and (b) each Departing Lender shall have no further rights or obligations as a Lender under the Credit Agreement (and each such Departing Lenders’ Commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement is terminated and all of its obligations in respect of such Commitment or any extensions of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are forever discharged), except to the extent of rights and obligations that survive a Lender’s assignment of its commitments pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. Each Departing Lender is a party to this Amendment solely for the purpose of evidencing its agreement to Section 3(b) and this Section 8.

9. Joinder of Guarantors. By their respective execution of this Amendment, each Joining Guarantor hereby become a party (i) to the Subsidiary Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and bound by all the terms, conditions, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Guarantor or to which each Guarantor is subject thereunder, including without limitation the joint and several, unconditional, absolute, continuing and irrevocable guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) whether now existing or hereafter arising, all with the same force and effect as if the Joining Guarantor were a signatory to the Guaranty, and (ii) the Security Agreement as a Grantor and bound by all the terms, conditions, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Grantor or to which each Grantor is subject thereunder, including without limitation the grant pursuant to Section 1 of the Security Agreement, and each Joining Guarantor does hereby grant a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the property and property rights constituting Collateral (as defined in Section 1 of the Security Agreement) of such Grantor or in which such Grantor has or may have or acquire an interest

 

5


or the power to transfer rights therein, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located, as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, all with the same force and effect as if each such Joining Guarantor were a signatory to the Security Agreement.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are and shall remain in full force and effect. All references in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement” or “this Agreement” (or similar terms intended to reference the Credit Agreement) or any references to any “Loan Document” shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment or the Loan Documents as amended by this Amendment, as applicable. This Amendment shall be deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

(b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, each other Lender and each other Loan Party, and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) THIS AMENDMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 10.14 AND 10.15 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT RELATING TO GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, THE PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE BY THIS REFERENCE INCORPORATED HEREIN IN FULL.

(d) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.019 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) If any provision of this Amendment or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay, (i) in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the actions required to be taken by it pursuant to Section 9 of this Amendment on and after the First Amendment Effective Date.

 

6


(g) None of the Facility Adjustment, this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, nor any other Loan Document shall release, limit or impair in any way the priority of any security interests and liens held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any assets of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Borrower, or any Guarantor arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

(h) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Existing Lenders, the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

(i) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

(j) Each Lender party hereto hereby makes, as of the First Amendment Effective Date, the representations and warranties contained in Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement.

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date (it being agreed that following the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any outstanding Letter of Credit would be required to be Cash Collateralized by the Borrower on terms and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuer).

 

44


(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(E) any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

 

45


(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (and on the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C

 

46


Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

47


(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the

 

48


L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) waiver by an L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by an L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi) any payment made by any L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

49


The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall have no responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal

 

50


to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to 0.25% of each issued Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information. If at any time any Lender other than the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is the L/C Issuer, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any Letter of Credit, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer that is outstanding hereunder. No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.03(k) shall limit the obligation of the Borrower or any applicable Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.03.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit

 

51


Facility at such time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each

 

52


Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line

 

53


Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Unless a Default has occurred, each prepayment of the outstanding Term A Loans or Term B Loans pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, otherwise such prepayment shall be applied to the principal repayment installments of the applicable Term Facility in inverse order of maturity. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.

Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

(c) Call Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of the Term B Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) or (ii) effects any amendment of this

Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Term B Lender, a fee in an amount equal to, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount of the Term B Loans being prepaid and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term B Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such fees shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

For the purpose of this clause (c), “Repricing Transaction” means (A) any prepayment or repayment of the Term B Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Term B Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of bank Indebtedness bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmark floors and original issue discount, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders of such new or replacement loans) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Term B Loans (as such comparative yields are determined in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices) and (B) any amendment to the pricing terms of the Term B Loans (whether through an amendment and restatement, mandatory assignment or otherwise) which reduces the “effective yield” applicable to the Term B Loans; provided that any event or transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above undertaken in connection with a Change of Control or an initial public offering shall not constitute a “Repricing Transaction” hereunder so long as the primary purpose of the prepayment, repayment or amendment in connection therewith is not to reduce the “effective yield” of the Term B Loans (as determined by Holdings in good faith and certified by a Responsible Officer of Holdings in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and upon which certification the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely)).

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or unused portions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.

(d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable Law or legal principle.

2.09 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to (a) from the First Amendment Effective Date until the delivery of financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter of Holdings ending September 30, 2019, [Percentage redacted for confidentiality reasons.] per annum, and (b) thereafter, the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolving Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, and on the Revolving Credit Facility

 

59


Termination Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Delayed Draw Ticking Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger, on the Business Day that is the last day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period, a ticking fee (the “Delayed Draw Ticking Fee”) equal to [Percentage redacted for confidentiality reasons.] of the Applicable Rate then in effect with respect to the Term A Facility times the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Commitments in effect on each day, with such fees to accrue from and after the date that is 31 days following the First Amendment Effective Date to and including the last day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period. The Delayed Draw Ticking Fee shall be for the pro rata account of the Lenders to the Term A Facility with respect to their respective daily unused Delayed Draw Commitments.

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BBVA’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, Holdings, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Holdings or the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of

 

60


business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations; provided, however that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender or by Administrative Agent.

(c) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,

 

61


then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c).

(d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

62


(e) Authorization. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(f) Insufficient Payment. Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof of the applicable Facility as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, from time to time, request by notice to the Administrative Agent (x) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase”), (y) one or more increases in the Term A Facility or Term B Facility (each, a “Term Loan Increase”) or (z) one or more term loan tranches to be made available to the Borrower (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”; each Incremental Term Loan, each Revolving Credit Increase and each Term

 

63


Loan Increase, collectively, referred to as the “Incremental Increases”); provided that (i) the principal amount for all such Incremental Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000; (ii) any such request for an Incremental Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or a lesser amount in the event such amount represents all remaining availability under this Section); (iii) no Revolving Credit Increase shall (A) increase the Letter of Credit Sublimit without the consent of the L/C Issuer or (B) increase the Swing Line Sublimit without the consent of the Swing Line Lender; (iv) no Incremental Term Loan shall mature earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term A Facility or Term B Facility (based on the determination of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, of whether such Incremental Term Facility is a “term A” or a “term B” facility); (v) if the All-In Yield of any Incremental Term Loan exceeds (A) the All-In Yield for the Term A Facility by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rate for the Term A Facility shall be increased (at each level on the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate) so that the All-In Yield in respect of the Term A Facility is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% and/or (B) the All-In Yield for the Term B Facility by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rate for the Term B Facility shall be increased so that the All-In Yield in respect of the Term B Facility is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%; (vi) each Incremental Term Loan shall (A) rank pari passu or junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security with the Term Loans, including sharing in mandatory prepayments under Section 2.05(b) pro rata with the Term Loans (unless agreed to be paid after the Term Loans by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan), (B) shall have the same guarantees from the Guarantors and rank pari passu with respect to the Collateral with the other Facilities and (C) shall have an Applicable Rate or pricing grid (subject to clause (v)) and scheduled amortization (subject to clause (iv)) as determined by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Borrower; (vii) except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Facilities, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders providing such Term Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan and the Borrower, provided that in no event shall the covenants, defaults and similar non-economic provisions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, taken as a whole, (x) be more restrictive than the corresponding terms set forth in the Term Facilities (except to the extent either (A) applicable to all of the other Facilities then in effect or (B) only applicable after the latest Maturity Date of the other Facilities then in effect) or (y) contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents; and (viii) each Incremental Increase shall constitute Obligations hereunder and, except as provided above with respect to any Incremental Term Loan that is junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security, shall be guaranteed and secured pursuant to the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations hereunder.

(b) Process for Increase. Incremental Increases may be provided by any existing Lender, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or by any other Person that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (each such other Person, an “Additional Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase shall be offered (A) first to the then-existing Term Lenders (ratably among them), (B) second, with respect to any portion of such offer declined by any then-existing Term Lender, to the then-existing Term Lenders willing to provide a portion of such increase (ratably among them with respect to such declined amounts) and (C) third, only if any portion then remains, to Additional Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to each proposed Additional Lender providing such Incremental Increase to the extent the Administrative Agent would be required to consent to an assignment to such Additional Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(iii) and (ii) in the case of any Revolving Credit Increase, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to each such Lender or proposed Additional Lender providing such Revolving

 

64


Credit Increase if such consent by the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, would be required under Section 10.06(b)(iii) for an assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to such Lender or proposed Additional Lender; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to offer or accept commitments from existing Lenders for any Incremental Increase. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, increase its applicable Term Commitment or Term Loans or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, and no consent of any Lender, other than the Lenders agreeing to provide any portion of an Incremental Increase, shall be required to effectuate such Incremental Increase.

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of any Incremental Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten Business Days after the date of any request therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Incremental Increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.

(i) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower and, if reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable under applicable Law with respect to the Guaranty of a Guarantor, of each such Guarantor, dated as of the Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or Guarantor and (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower or Guarantor approving or consenting to such Incremental Increase (which, with respect to any such Loan Party, may, if applicable, be the resolutions entered into by such Loan Party in connection with the incurrence of the Obligations on the First Amendment Effective Date) and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase:

(A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the applicable representations and warranties may, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, be limited to (1) customary “specified representations” for limited condition acquisition facilities and (2) customary acquisition agreement representations for limited condition acquisitions;

(B) no Default shall exist and be continuing; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, (x) at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof and (y) on the date of effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase and the making of any Loan thereunder, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof;

 

65


(C) Holdings shall be in pro forma compliance (assuming such Incremental Increase is fully drawn and giving effect to any Permitted Acquisition, refinancing of debt or other event giving rise to a pro forma adjustment, and based on financial results for the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to have been delivered and giving effect thereto) with (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio maintenance level required to be satisfied as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred pursuant to Section 7.20(b) and (ii) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio not greater than the lesser of (A) 4.25 to 1.00 and (B) 0.25 to 1.00 below the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio maintenance level required to be satisfied as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred pursuant to Section 7.20(a); provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, if the Borrower so requests, to the extent agreed by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, such compliance may be measured at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition (with the required financial covenant levels determined by the quarter in which the Limited Condition Acquisition is anticipated to be consummated) (and Section 1.08 shall then apply); and

(D) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase shall have received (i) at least five (5) days before the Increase Effective Date, all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries that shall have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Increase Effective Date and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably determine is required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts and (ii) at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date, if the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the Borrower for each Lender requesting such at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Increase shall have the same terms as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and be part of the existing Revolving Credit Facility hereunder. Upon each Revolving Credit Increase (x) each Revolving Credit Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Increase (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Credit Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans, will, in each case, equal each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages (after giving effect to such increase in the Revolving Credit Facility) and (y) if, on the date of such increase there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make such payments among themselves as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from such Revolving Credit Increase, and the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with such payments among the Revolving Credit Lenders as if such payments were effected by prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.

 

66


(iii) To the extent that any Incremental Increase shall take the form of a Term Loan Increase or an Incremental Term Loan, this Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender or any L/C Issuer other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Term Loan Increase), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan commitment, including mandatory prepayments, assignments and voting provisions; provided that (i) if any terms taken as a whole are adverse to the material interests of the existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, then that shall constitute a reasonable basis for the Administrative Agent not to be satisfied with such terms or amendment and (ii) no such terms or amendment shall contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents.

(iv) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, all fees and expenses relating to each Incremental Increase, to the extent due and payable, shall have been paid in full.

(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases), following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon

 

67


demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at BBVA. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with the last two sentences of Section 10.06(b)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, to be held in a noninterest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future

 

68


funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

69


Subject to Section 10.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnification.

 

70


(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

71


(f) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(i)(A), and (i)(B) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

  (1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W- 8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

  (2)

executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

  (3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a

 

72


  “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or

 

  (4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide an applicable certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine either that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the terms “law” and “Laws” shall include FATCA, and solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if it is aware that any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

 

73


paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree that the Administrative Agent can offset any payment to be made that is allocable to such applicable Lender by such amounts owed by such Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(h).

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed

 

74


Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR as set forth herein for any requested Interest Period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary in nature, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to then prevailing market conventions for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. If no successor to LIBOR has been determined and the circumstances under this clause (b) exist, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any successor to LIBOR shall provide that in no event shall such successor rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by the definition of Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender , the L/C Issuer or any other Recipient to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender , the L/C Issuer or other Recipient in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes that are payable by such Lender); or

 

75


(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which

 

76


determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

77

In addition, the Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries, Minority Investments and Professional Services Affiliates may perform functions and activities and provide services to, for and on behalf of covered entities (as defined in the HIPAA Rule) such that the Borrower and such Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates are “business associates” under the HIPAA Rule.

For purposes hereof, “HIPAA Compliant” shall mean that the Borrower and the relevant Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates, as applicable, have developed and implemented (or if compliance is not required as of the Closing Date, will develop and implement, as appropriate, and in a timely manner) internal systems, policies, procedures and training in order to ensure that the Borrower and such Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates (a) are and will continue to be in material compliance with all of the terms of the business associate contracts to which they are parties, including the standards and implementation specifications for business associates set forth in 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e) and elsewhere in the HIPAA Rule; (b) will be able to continue to provide services to, for and on behalf of covered entities (as defined in the HIPAA Rule) following any future HIPAA Rule compliance rule within a reasonable period of time; and (c) as covered entities, materially comply with all applicable provisions of the HIPAA Rule and any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to, the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information found under C.F.R.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Subsidiary or Minority Investment or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(a) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its

 

118


own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including, without limitation, any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

119


(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective

 

120


activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuer appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, L/C Issuer and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by BBVA as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If BBVA resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all such L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c). If BBVA resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution

 

121


for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the existing L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the existing L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding the Arranger shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

 

122


Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (each, a “Credit Bid”) (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such Credit Bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, Credit Bid on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles; provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be Credit Bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt Credit Bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof;

 

 

123


(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(g).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements. No Lender Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty.

9.12 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

130

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and

 

131


each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (with respect to assignments of the Revolving Credit Facility) or $1,000,000 (with respect to assignments of either Term Facility), (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis (it being understood that after the First Amendment Effective Date and during the Delayed Draw Availability Period, any assignment of the Term A Facility will include both outstanding Initial Term A Loans and unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments on a ratable basis), (iv) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Revolving Credit Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), and (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (A) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender and (B) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to one or more Funds managed by the same investment advisor (which Funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single such $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances

 

132


occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d). In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except any consent in proviso (i) to clause (b) above regarding minimum assignment amounts and:

(i) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term Commitment or any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the

 

133


Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. It is the intention of this Agreement that the Loans will be in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes and this Agreement shall be interpreted to further that intention.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.13 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.04 or 3.01 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

134


(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time BBVA or any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), (i) such Person may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) BBVA may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of BBVA or the applicable L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If BBVA or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If BBVA resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to BBVA to effectively assume the obligations of BBVA with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(i) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other Committed Loan Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender other than a Lender that is then a Defaulting Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.11. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this

 

135


Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement (A) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions and (B) in advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and the circulation of similar promotional materials, on and following the First Amendment Effective Date in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise, containing information customarily included in such advertisements and materials, including (i) the names of the Borrower and the Loan Parties (or any of them), (ii) the Documentation Agents and their respective Affiliates’ titles and roles in connection with the Transactions and (iii) the amount, type and closing date of the Commitments and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

136


10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (including without limitation, the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any

 

137


Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied shall remain outstanding.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EACH LOAN PARTY A PARTY HERETO (OTHER THAN HOLDINGS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS HOLDINGS, AND HOLDINGS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS CT CORPORATION (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) IN EACH CASE TO RECEIVE, FOR IT AND ON ITS BEHALF, SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDINGS HEREUNDER.

10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT

 

139


IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 USA Patriot Act and Canadian AML Acts’ Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act or any Canadian AML Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party, information concerning its direct and indirect holders of Equity Interests and other Persons exercising Control over it, and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts.

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

  (b)

the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 

  (i)

a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

10.18 Additional Titles.

140


preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

(a) Upon the First Amendment Effective Date (defined below) (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loans and Term B Loans referenced in the amended Credit Agreement set forth as Annex I hereto in excess of the principal amount of the Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date shall be provided by the applicable Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Delayed Draw Loan Term Commitment, Term A Loan and Term B Loan of each applicable Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex II hereto, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments referenced in the amended Credit Agreement set forth as Annex I hereto shall be made available by the applicable Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of each applicable Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex II hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, in connection with the increase of the Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as Term A Loans and Term B Loans hereunder, and the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, each party hereto agrees (i) that the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among the Lenders and the Departing Lenders, and from each Lender and Departing Lender to each other applicable Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption as required under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) to any adjustments to be made to the Register to effectuate such reallocations and assignments. In connection therewith, (x) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders and the Departing Lenders resulting from the Facility Adjustments, (y) the repayment of any Loans necessary in connection with the Facility Adjustments (if any), and (z) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders of outstanding Loans resulting from the Facility Adjustments (if any), shall in each case all occur on the First Amendment Effective Date in connection with the effectiveness of this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent may make such adjustments between and among the applicable Lenders and Departing Lenders

 

2


(including adjustments to participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Facility Adjustments, so that the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments, Term A Loans (and the related Delayed Draw Term Commitments) and Term B Loans are as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex II hereto as of the First Amendment Effective Date and the outstanding Loans and Delayed Draw Term Commitment on the First Amendment Effective Date are held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage (the increase of the facilities provided in the Credit Agreement, and the assignments, adjustments and reallocations set forth in this sentence, collectively, the “Facility Adjustments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or this Amendment, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Facility Adjustments provided by this Amendment shall each be effective upon the First Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the conditions to effectiveness of the Facility Adjustments and the amendments set forth in Section 2 above are limited to the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the First Amendment Effective Date as set forth below and (iii) no increase to the Term Loan (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as Term A Loans and/or Term B Loans provided herein shall constitute an incurrence of or increase to the facilities provided under Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement or of the Credit Agreement.

(d) To the extent not otherwise a Lender prior to the date of this Amendment, the Lenders providing any portion of the facilities under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Joining Lenders”) are parties to this Amendment for the purposes of agreeing to the Credit Agreement, becoming party thereto and becoming bound by the provisions thereof in the capacity of a Lender and providing their portion of the Term A Loans (including the Delayed Draw Term Commitment), Term B Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans.

4. Joinder of Joining Lenders. By its execution of this Amendment, each Joining Lender hereby confirms and agrees that, on and after the First Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender, shall have all of the rights and be obligated to perform all of the obligations of a Lender thereunder and its Term A Loans (including its Delayed Draw Term Commitment), Term B Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitment shall be as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex II hereto. Each Joining Lender severally, and not jointly, further (a) represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) it meets all requirements of an Assignee under Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement (subject to receipt of such consents as may be required under the Credit Agreement, which such consents shall be deemed provided, to the extent required, by each Person that executes this Amendment), (iii) from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (iv) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Credit Agreement on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, agent or arranger; and (b) agrees that (i) it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent,

 

3


or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and (ii) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

5. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties (including, without limitation, each Joining Guarantor), by its execution of this Amendment, hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the First Amendment Effective Date as follows:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of the shareholders or members of such Loan Party, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award presently in effect having applicability to such Loan Party or of the constitutional documents, charter or bylaws of such Loan Party, (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any material indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease, or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv) result in the creation of a Lien of any nature upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party (other than Permitted Liens);

(b) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (in each case, as amended hereby) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Parties, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Debtor Relief Laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies;

(c) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this clause (c), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, as applicable; and

(d) after the effectiveness of this Amendment on the First Amendment Effective Date, the borrowing of Loans and the provision of the Delayed Draw Term Commitments and the Revolving Credit Commitments set forth herein, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6. Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments to the Credit Agreement herein provided are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (the date of such satisfaction, the “First Amendment Effective Date”):

4


(b) All outstanding Swing Line Loans made under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement by the Swing Line Lender under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement plus all accrued fees, expenses and interest thereon, shall be repaid at least one (1) Business Day prior to the First Amendment Effective Date;

(e) Receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to it that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the Credit Agreement have been satisfied.

7. No Novation; Reaffirmation.

Each Loan Party (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents as amended hereby, (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge any Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and (d) confirms that the Collateral Documents and the Liens granted thereunder remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry into this Amendment.

8. Departing Lenders. By its execution of this Amendment, each of the parties signatory hereto acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date and the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds to each Departing Lender of all Obligations (including, without limitation, all principal amounts and accrued but unpaid interest) then owing to it under the Credit Agreement, (a) each Departing Lender shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement and (b) each Departing Lender shall have no further rights or obligations as a Lender under the Credit Agreement (and each such Departing Lenders’ Commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement is terminated and all of its obligations in respect of such Commitment or any extensions of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are forever discharged), except to the extent of rights and obligations that survive a Lender’s assignment of its commitments pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. Each Departing Lender is a party to this Amendment solely for the purpose of evidencing its agreement to Section 3(b) and this Section 8.

9. Joinder of Guarantors. By their respective execution of this Amendment, each Joining Guarantor hereby become a party (i) to the Subsidiary Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and bound by all the terms, conditions, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Guarantor or to which each Guarantor is subject thereunder, including without limitation the joint and several, unconditional, absolute, continuing and irrevocable guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) whether now existing or hereafter arising, all with the same force and effect as if the Joining Guarantor were a signatory to the Guaranty, and (ii) the Security Agreement as a Grantor and bound by all the terms, conditions, obligations, liabilities and undertakings of each Grantor or to which each Grantor is subject thereunder, including without limitation the grant pursuant to Section 1 of the Security Agreement, and each Joining Guarantor does hereby grant a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the property and property rights constituting Collateral (as defined in Section 1 of the Security Agreement) of such Grantor or in which such Grantor has or may have or acquire an interest

 

5


or the power to transfer rights therein, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located, as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, all with the same force and effect as if each such Joining Guarantor were a signatory to the Security Agreement.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are and shall remain in full force and effect. All references in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement” or “this Agreement” (or similar terms intended to reference the Credit Agreement) or any references to any “Loan Document” shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment or the Loan Documents as amended by this Amendment, as applicable. This Amendment shall be deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

(b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, each other Lender and each other Loan Party, and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) THIS AMENDMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 10.14 AND 10.15 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT RELATING TO GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, THE PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE BY THIS REFERENCE INCORPORATED HEREIN IN FULL.

(d) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.019 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) If any provision of this Amendment or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay, (i) in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the actions required to be taken by it pursuant to Section 9 of this Amendment on and after the First Amendment Effective Date.

 

6


(g) None of the Facility Adjustment, this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, nor any other Loan Document shall release, limit or impair in any way the priority of any security interests and liens held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any assets of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Borrower, or any Guarantor arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

(h) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Existing Lenders, the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

(i) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

(j) Each Lender party hereto hereby makes, as of the First Amendment Effective Date, the representations and warranties contained in Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement.

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent has approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date (it being agreed that following the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any outstanding Letter of Credit would be required to be Cash Collateralized by the Borrower on terms and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuer).

 

44


(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(E) any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

45


(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (and on the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C

 

46


Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

47


(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

48


(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) waiver by an L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by an L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi) any payment made by any L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

49


The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall have no responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, Participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice.

 

50


(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to 0.25% of each issued Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information. If at any time any Lender other than the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is the L/C Issuer, then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any Letter of Credit, and (iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer that is outstanding hereunder. No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.03(k) shall limit the obligation of the Borrower or any applicable Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.03.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit

 

51


Facility at such time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

52


(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line

 

53


Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Unless a Default has occurred, each prepayment of the outstanding Term A Loans or Term B Loans pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, otherwise such prepayment shall be applied to the principal repayment installments of the applicable Term Facility in inverse order of maturity. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.

In the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of the Term B Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Term B Lender, a fee in an amount equal to, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount of the Term B Loans being prepaid and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term B Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or unused portions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.

(d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable Law or legal principle.

2.09 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to (a) from the First Amendment Effective Date until the delivery of financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter of Holdings ending September 30, 2019, [Percentage redacted for confidentiality reasons.] per annum, and (b) thereafter, the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolving Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, and on the Revolving Credit Facility

 

59

If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Delayed Draw Ticking Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger, on the Business Day that is the last day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period, a ticking fee (the “Delayed Draw Ticking Fee”) equal to [Percentage redacted for confidentiality reasons.] of the Applicable Rate then in effect with respect to the Term A Facility times the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Commitments in effect on each day, with such fees to accrue from and after the date that is 31 days following the First Amendment Effective Date to and including the last day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period. The Delayed Draw Ticking Fee shall be for the pro rata account of the Lenders to the Term A Facility with respect to their respective daily unused Delayed Draw Commitments.

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BBVA’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, Holdings, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Holdings or the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

60


2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations; provided, however that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to a credit of principal and/or interest and/or fees to the extent of errors in accounting by any Lender or by Administrative Agent.

(c) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,

 

61


then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation or make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c).

(d) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

62


(e) Authorization. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(f) Insufficient Payment. Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof of the applicable Facility as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, from time to time, request by notice to the Administrative Agent (x) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase”), (y) one or more increases in the Term A Facility or Term B Facility (each, a “Term Loan Increase”) or (z) one or more term loan tranches to be made available to the Borrower (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”; each Incremental Term Loan, each Revolving Credit Increase and each Term

 

63


Loan Increase, collectively, referred to as the “Incremental Increases”); provided that (i) the principal amount for all such Incremental Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000; (ii) any such request for an Incremental Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or a lesser amount in the event such amount represents all remaining availability under this Section); (iii) no Revolving Credit Increase shall (A) increase the Letter of Credit Sublimit without the consent of the L/C Issuer or (B) increase the Swing Line Sublimit without the consent of the Swing Line Lender; (iv) no Incremental Term Loan shall mature earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term A Facility or Term B Facility (based on the determination of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, of whether such Incremental Term Facility is a “term A” or a “term B” facility); (v) if the All-In Yield of any Incremental Term Loan exceeds (A) the All-In Yield for the Term A Facility by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rate for the Term A Facility shall be increased (at each level on the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate) so that the All-In Yield in respect of the Term A Facility is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% and/or (B) the All-In Yield for the Term B Facility by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rate for the Term B Facility shall be increased so that the All-In Yield in respect of the Term B Facility is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%; (vi) each Incremental Term Loan shall (A) rank pari passu or junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security with the Term Loans, including sharing in mandatory prepayments under Section 2.05(b) pro rata with the Term Loans (unless agreed to be paid after the Term Loans by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan), (B) shall have the same guarantees from the Guarantors and rank pari passu with respect to the Collateral with the other Facilities and (C) shall have an Applicable Rate or pricing grid (subject to clause (v)) and scheduled amortization (subject to clause (iv)) as determined by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Borrower; (vii) except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Facilities, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders providing such Term Loan Increase or Incremental Term Loan and the Borrower, provided that in no event shall the covenants, defaults and similar non-economic provisions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, taken as a whole, (x) be more restrictive than the corresponding terms set forth in the Term Facilities (except to the extent either (A) applicable to all of the other Facilities then in effect or (B) only applicable after the latest Maturity Date of the other Facilities then in effect) or (y) contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents; and (viii) each Incremental Increase shall constitute Obligations hereunder and, except as provided above with respect to any Incremental Term Loan that is junior in right of payment, prepayment, voting and/or security, shall be guaranteed and secured pursuant to the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the other Obligations hereunder.

(b) Process for Increase. Incremental Increases may be provided by any existing Lender, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or by any other Person that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (each such other Person, an “Additional Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase shall be offered (A) first to the then-existing Term Lenders (ratably among them), (B) second, with respect to any portion of such offer declined by any then-existing Term Lender, to the then-existing Term Lenders willing to provide a portion of such increase (ratably among them with respect to such declined amounts) and (C) third, only if any portion then remains, to Additional Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to each proposed Additional Lender providing such Incremental Increase to the extent the Administrative Agent would be required to consent to an assignment to such Additional Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(iii) and (ii) in the case of any Revolving Credit Increase, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to each such Lender or proposed Additional Lender providing such Revolving

 

64


Credit Increase if such consent by the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, would be required under Section 10.06(b)(iii) for an assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to such Lender or proposed Additional Lender; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to offer or accept commitments from existing Lenders for any Incremental Increase. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, increase its applicable Term Commitment or Term Loans or participate in any Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, and no consent of any Lender, other than the Lenders agreeing to provide any portion of an Incremental Increase, shall be required to effectuate such Incremental Increase.

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of any Incremental Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten Business Days after the date of any request therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Incremental Increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.

(i) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower and, if reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable under applicable Law with respect to the Guaranty of a Guarantor, of each such Guarantor, dated as of the Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or Guarantor and (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower or Guarantor approving or consenting to such Incremental Increase (which, with respect to any such Loan Party, may, if applicable, be the resolutions entered into by such Loan Party in connection with the incurrence of the Obligations on the First Amendment Effective Date) and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase:

(A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to representations and warranties modified by a materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the applicable representations and warranties may, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, be limited to (1) customary “specified representations” for limited condition acquisition facilities and (2) customary acquisition agreement representations for limited condition acquisitions;

(B) no Default shall exist and be continuing; provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the election of the Borrower and if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, (x) at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof and (y) on the date of effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase and the making of any Loan thereunder, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof;

 

65


(C) Holdings shall be in pro forma compliance (assuming such Incremental Increase is fully drawn and giving effect to any Permitted Acquisition, refinancing of debt or other event giving rise to a pro forma adjustment, and based on financial results for the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to have been delivered and giving effect thereto) with (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio maintenance level required to be satisfied as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred pursuant to Section 7.20(b) and (ii) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio not greater than the lesser of (A) 4.25 to 1.00 and (B) 0.25 to 1.00 below the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio maintenance level required to be satisfied as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Incremental Increase is incurred pursuant to Section 7.20(a); provided that in the case of any Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, if the Borrower so requests, to the extent agreed by the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan or Term Loan Increase, such compliance may be measured at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition (with the required financial covenant levels determined by the quarter in which the Limited Condition Acquisition is anticipated to be consummated) (and Section 1.08 shall then apply); and

(D) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase shall have received (i) at least five (5) days before the Increase Effective Date, all documentation and other information about the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries that shall have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Increase Effective Date and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably determine is required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts and (ii) at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date, if the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the Borrower for each Lender requesting such at least five (5) days prior to the Increase Effective Date.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Increase shall have the same terms as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and be part of the existing Revolving Credit Facility hereunder. Upon each Revolving Credit Increase (x) each Revolving Credit Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Increase (each, a “Revolving Credit Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Credit Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (1) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (2) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans, will, in each case, equal each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages (after giving effect to such increase in the Revolving Credit Facility) and (y) if, on the date of such increase there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make such payments among themselves as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from such Revolving Credit Increase, and the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with such payments among the Revolving Credit Lenders as if such payments were effected by prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.

 

66


(iii) To the extent that any Incremental Increase shall take the form of a Term Loan Increase or an Incremental Term Loan, this Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender or any L/C Issuer other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Term Loan Increase), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan commitment, including mandatory prepayments, assignments and voting provisions; provided that (i) if any terms taken as a whole are adverse to the material interests of the existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, then that shall constitute a reasonable basis for the Administrative Agent not to be satisfied with such terms or amendment and (ii) no such terms or amendment shall contravene any of the terms of the then existing Loan Documents.

(iv) As a condition precedent to each Incremental Increase, all fees and expenses relating to each Incremental Increase, to the extent due and payable, shall have been paid in full.

(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases), following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon

 

67


demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at BBVA. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with the last two sentences of Section 10.06(b)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, to be held in a noninterest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future

 

68


funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

69


Subject to Section 10.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

70


(c) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

71


(f) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(i)(A), and (i)(B) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

  (1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

  (2)

executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

  (3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or

 

72


  (4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide an applicable certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine either that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the terms “law” and “Laws” shall include FATCA, and solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if it is aware that any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

 

73


paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree that the Administrative Agent can offset any payment to be made that is allocable to such applicable Lender by such amounts owed by such Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(h).

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed

 

74


Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR as set forth herein for any requested Interest Period, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary in nature, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to then prevailing market conventions for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. If no successor to LIBOR has been determined and the circumstances under this clause (b) exist, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any successor to LIBOR shall provide that in no event shall such successor rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by the definition of Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender , the L/C Issuer or any other Recipient to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender , the L/C Issuer or other Recipient in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes that are payable by such Lender); or

 

75


(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which

 

76


determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

77

For purposes hereof, “HIPAA Compliant” shall mean that the Borrower and the relevant Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates, as applicable, have developed and implemented (or if compliance is not required as of the Closing Date, will develop and implement, as appropriate, and in a timely manner) internal systems, policies, procedures and training in order to ensure that the Borrower and such Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates (a) are and will continue to be in material compliance with all of the terms of the business associate contracts to which they are parties, including the standards and implementation specifications for business associates set forth in 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e) and elsewhere in the HIPAA Rule; (b) will be able to continue to provide services to, for and on behalf of covered entities (as defined in the HIPAA Rule) following any future HIPAA Rule compliance rule within a reasonable period of time; and (c) as covered entities, materially comply with all applicable provisions of the HIPAA Rule and any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to, the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information found under C.F.R.

Neither the Borrower nor its applicable Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates have received written notice from any party with whom it has a business associate agreement of any allegation that there has been a material breach of any business associate agreement. Neither the Borrower nor its applicable Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates are under investigation or audit by any governmental authority for a violation of the HIPAA Rule of any other applicable privacy laws nor have the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates received any written notices from the United States Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights alleging any such violations.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacity as a Lender) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Subsidiary or Minority Investment or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(a) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its

 

118


own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including, without limitation, any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

119


(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective

 

120


activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuer appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, L/C Issuer and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by BBVA as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If BBVA resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all such L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c). If BBVA resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the existing L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the existing L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

121


9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding the Arranger shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

 

122


Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (each, a “Credit Bid”) (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such Credit Bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, Credit Bid on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles; provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be Credit Bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt Credit Bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Secured Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof;

 

123


(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(g).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements. No Lender Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Counterparty.

9.12 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and

 

131


each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (with respect to assignments of the Revolving Credit Facility) or $1,000,000 (with respect to assignments of either Term Facility), (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis (it being understood that after the First Amendment Effective Date and during the Delayed Draw Availability Period, any assignment of the Term A Facility will include both outstanding Initial Term A Loans and unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments on a ratable basis), (iv) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Revolving Credit Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), and (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (A) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender and (B) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to one or more Funds managed by the same investment advisor (which Funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single such $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances

 

132


occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d). In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except any consent in proviso (i) to clause (b) above regarding minimum assignment amounts and:

(i) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term Commitment or any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) the consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. It is the intention of this Agreement that the Loans will be in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes and this Agreement shall be interpreted to further that intention.

 

133


(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, Minority Investments or Professional Services Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.13 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.04 or 3.01 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

134


(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time BBVA or any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), (i) such Person may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) BBVA may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of BBVA or the applicable L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If BBVA or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If BBVA resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to BBVA to effectively assume the obligations of BBVA with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(i) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other Committed Loan Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender other than a Lender that is then a Defaulting Lender (a “Granting Lender) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.11. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this

Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement (A) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions and (B) in advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and the circulation of similar promotional materials, on and following the First Amendment Effective Date in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise, containing information customarily included in such advertisements and materials, including (i) the names of the Borrower and the Loan Parties (or any of them), (ii) the Documentation Agents and their respective Affiliates’ titles and roles in connection with the Transactions and (iii) the amount, type and closing date of the Commitments and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

136


10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness, provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (including without limitation, the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the Maximum Rate). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied shall remain outstanding.

 

137


10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

139


10.16 USA Patriot Act and Canadian AML Acts’ Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act or any Canadian AML Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party, information concerning its direct and indirect holders of Equity Interests and other Persons exercising Control over it, and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts.

Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The disclosures contained in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for annual financial statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on accounting policies as described in the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except for changes to the accounting policies described in note 3.

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal period.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application without restatement of prior year comparatives. Another new standard was also adopted as at January 1, 2019, IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of IFRS 16

During 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), replacing IAS 17, Leases (IAS 17) and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet recognition and measurement model for lessees, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset representing its control of and right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. As a result of adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Company has recognized an increase of $110,902,436 to both property and equipment and lease liabilities on its condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Lessor accounting remains similar to IAS 17.

IFRS 16 became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it had the option of adopting a fully retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach on transition to IFRS 16. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company applied the requirements of the standard retrospectively with no restatement of the comparative period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company chose to measure all right-of-use assets retrospectively as if the standard had been applied since lease commencement dates, which is January 1, 2019 for purposes of the Company’s IFRS 16 adoption. Substantially all of the Company’s operating leases are real estate leases for its imaging centres and corporate offices and for medical equipment. Other leased assets include office equipment. The Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases except for certain classes of underlying assets in which the underlying asset was considered to be of low-value; however, the Company may choose to elect the recognition exemptions regarding short-term leases on a class-by-class basis for new classes, and lease-by-lease basis, respectively, in the future. Due to the removal of rent expense for leases, the Company’s operating expenses are reduced with a corresponding increase to depreciation and an increase to interest costs (due to accretion of the lease liability). There are no significant impacts to the Company’s existing finance leases under IAS 17 as a lessee.

IFRS 16 permits the use of recognition exemptions and practical expedients. The Company applied the following recognition exemptions and practical expedients:

 

   

grandfathered the definition of leases for existing contracts at the date of initial application;

 

   

excluded certain low-value leases from IFRS 16 lease accounting;

 

   

applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics at the date of initial application;

 

   

excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;

 

   

used hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application; and

 

   

relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review.

The Company used its incremental borrowing rates as at January 1, 2019 to measure lease liabilities. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for total lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 was 6.0%. Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the Company’s total minimum operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 were $163,728,644 (note 15 of the Company’s 2018 annual financial statements). These lease commitments included optional renewal terms where the Company expects to renew the leases. The difference between this amount and the lease liabilities of $110,902,436 recognized on transition on January 1, 2019 was due to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments.

Changes to accounting policies for leases

The Company did not restate prior year comparative information under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information continues to be reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Lessee accounting policy as a lessee

Applicable from January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments when a lessor makes the leased asset available for use by the Company. Lease payments for assets that are exempt through the low-value exemption are recognized in operating expenses. The measurement of lease liabilities includes the fixed and in-substance fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. Certain leases require the Company to make payments that relate to property taxes, insurance and other non-rental costs. These costs are typically variable and are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. If applicable, lease liabilities will also include the purchase option exercise price if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, termination penalties if the lease term also reflects the termination option and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the leased asset, a change in expected residual value guarantee, or a change in future lease payments due to a change in index or rate tied to the payment.

The right-of-use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease liabilities plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of lease incentives received, and decommissioning costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company applies the cost model to the right-of-use assets with the exception of the fair value model application to right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property in IAS 40, Investment Property. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses governed by IAS 36, and any remeasurements of lease liabilities. The assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the earlier of the end of the assets’ useful lives or the end of the lease terms.

Discount rates used in the present value calculation are the interest rates implicit in the leases, or if the rates cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Lease terms applied are the contractual non-cancellable periods of the leases plus periods covered by an option to renew the leases if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and the periods covered by an option to terminate the leases if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

The Company has elected to not separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments for leases

The management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. The management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including operational performance and past business practice. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if the management is reasonably certain to renew. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the industry may impact the management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in the management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

In determining the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. The management determines the incremental borrowing rate of each leased asset by incorporating the Company’s creditworthiness, the security, term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Davie, Florida for cash consideration of approximately $450,000 (Davie Acquisition). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50,000 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) is due to the seller on October 1, 2019. The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, this acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $128 thousand and loss before tax of approximately $13 thousand to the Company’s consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2019, this business combination would have contributed approximately $256 thousand in revenue and $27 thousand in loss before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $101.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under ADG, The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the ADG Acquisitions).

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million, of which $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the Term Loans (note 9). A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (note 7).

The purchase price allocation for the ADG Acquisitions is not final as the Company is in the process of concluding on the identification of the acquired intangible assets (such as covenant not to compete and trade names) including goodwill and deferred tax liabilities.

These acquisitions were an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida and enter the Georgia market. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to not be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, these acquisitions contributed revenue of approximately $6.3 million and income before tax of approximately $2.8 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from these acquisitions had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2019, this business combination would have contributed approximately $38.6 million in revenue and $17.2 million in income before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $133.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000,000 as at November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021. The cost of this derivative financial instrument was $155,000. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the financial institution as at June 30, 2019 represented an asset to the Company of $1,428. Changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The May 2019 Credit Agreement provides for the following (capitalized terms used below in this note and not defined elsewhere in these notes have the respective meanings given to them in the May 2019 Credit Agreement):

 

   

Interest

The interest rates payable on the May 2019 Loans are as follows: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate and (c) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus Applicable Rate. All advances under the May 2019 Loans are currently classified as Eurodollar Rate Loans. The interest rate paid under the May 2019 Credit Agreement as at June 30, 2019 was approximately 7.7% per annum (June 30, 2018 – nil%). With respect to interest rate sensitivity as at June 30, 2019, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would have increased interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 by approximately $265,000 (2018 – $nil).

 

   

Payments

The minimum principal payment schedule for the May 2019 Loans is noted herein.

 

   

Termination

The termination date of the May 2019 Loans is the earliest of (i) May 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the obligations become due and payable pursuant to the May 2019 Credit Agreement.

 

   

Restrictive covenants

In addition to certain covenants, the May 2019 Credit Agreement places limits on the Company’s ability to declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock (including options or warrants), prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business the Company and the Subsidiaries currently conduct.

The Company is in compliance with the financial covenants and has no events of default under the May 2019 Credit Agreement as at June 30, 2019.

 

   

Events of default

Security

The Company has, subject to limited exceptions, granted general security over all assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with the May 2019 Loans.

Syndicated Loans

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the Syndicated Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (Syndicated Term Loan) of $100,000,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000, of which $11,900,000 was utilized as at May 30, 2019 (the Syndicated Revolving Facility, and together with the Syndicated Term Loan, the Syndicated Loans). The Syndicated Loans could be increased by an additional $40,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900,000 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle Akumin’s previous senior loan for $74,634,848, finance the Rose Acquisition in August 2018 and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. The fair value of the Syndicated Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate.

  a)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out for any given calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be equal to 50% of any positive difference calculated by subtracting the Base Revenue ($16,000,000) for such calendar year from the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue (defined below) for such calendar year.

 

  b)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be the gross revenue generated by the centres related to the Tampa Acquisition during such calendar year.

  d)

The maximum aggregate amount of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out that may be earned over the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is $4,000,000.

The value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out has been estimated by management using a probability-weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board.

 

  b)

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

 

  i)

The Company had 238,859 warrants that were due to expire on April 21, 2018 and 112,706 warrants that were due to expire on May 31, 2018. These warrants allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share of the Company. These warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

  ii)

On May 2, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal offering of its common shares by way of short form prospectus sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. A total of 8,750,000 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $4.00 per common share, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000 (the Offering). The related issuance costs were approximately $1.8 million, which were deducted from common equity. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters (the Underwriters). The Underwriters were granted 525,000 broker warrants (Broker Warrants) in connection with the Offering, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per common share for a 24-month period following the closing of the Offering. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.3988 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of approximately 62%; remaining life of two years; price per common share on grant of warrants of $4.00; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk free interest rate of 1.93%.

 

  iii)

On May 24, 2018, the Company announced that PMI completed its previously announced acquisitions of all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres (the Acquisitions). The Acquisitions related to certain operations carried on in Austin, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grapevine/Colleyville, Irving, Plano and Round Rock. The aggregate consideration paid for the Acquisitions was approximately $21.6 million, comprised of an aggregate cash payment of approximately $17.9 million and the issuance of approximately $3.7 million in common shares of the Company (927,397 shares at $4.00 per share). The cash consideration included approximately $0.2 million paid to a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Imaging of Tarrant County, LLC, that was consolidated in the Company’s results.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is involved in certain legal matters arising from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company records provisions that reflect management’s best estimate of any potential liability relating to these matters. The resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segmented financial information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

Risk management arising from financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current assets and liabilities were as follows:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

 

   

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The loans to related parties, the May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes, Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.

There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated August 13, 2019 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

 

   

expected performance and cash flows;

future compensation of named executive officers.

Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;

 

   

general market conditions in the radiology and diagnostic imaging services industry;

 

   

our ability to service existing debt;

our ability to enforce any claims relating to breaches of indemnities or representations and warranties in connection with any acquisitions;

 

   

market conditions in the capital markets and the radiology and medical imaging services industry that make raising capital or consummating acquisitions difficult, expensive or both, or which may disrupt our annual operating budget and forecasts;

 

   

unanticipated cash requirements to support current operations, to expand our business or for capital expenditures;

 

   

delays or setbacks with respect to governmental approvals, or manufacturing or commercial activities;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations;

 

   

the loss of key management or personnel;

 

   

the risk that the Company is not able to arrange sufficient, cost-effective financing to repay maturing debt and to fund expenditures, future operational activities and acquisitions, and other obligations; and

 

   

the risks associated with legislative and regulatory developments that may affect costs, revenues, the speed and degree of competition entering the market, global capital markets activity and general economic conditions in geographic areas where we operate.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    2


   

no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;

 

   

a stable competitive environment; and

 

   

no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Overview

We are a provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with 125 centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Illinois, Kansas and Georgia as of June 30, 2019. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), radiology, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, arthrography and other related procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provides close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    3


Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

 

   

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

 

   

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16 and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company initially adopted IFRS 16, Leases, as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application, which does not require restatement of prior period results. Other new standard that is also effective from January 1, 2019 onward is IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Please refer to note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further information on the adoption of these new accounting standards. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 28, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Davie Acquisition

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Davie, Florida for cash consideration of approximately $450 (“Davie Acquisition”). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) is due to the seller on October 1, 2019. This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

ADG Acquisitions

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida - 21 and Georgia - 6) operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (ADG), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the “ADG Acquisitions”).

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    6


The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $217.6 million, of which $25 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $4.00 per share in accordance with the purchase agreements. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the May 2019 Loans. For accounting purposes, the equity consideration was valued based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019 ($23.4 million at $3.75 per share). Hence, the adjusted total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (“ADG Acquisition earn-out”, estimated at $20.1 million as of June 30, 2019). These acquisitions were an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida and enter the Georgia market.

Deltona Acquisition

On May 31, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Deltona, Florida for a cash consideration of $648 (“Deltona Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

Exercise of Certain Outstanding Warrants and RSUs

 

a)

During March 2017 the Company had issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expired on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

b)

The Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and 25,000 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to March 31, 2019. The remaining 132,500 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to June 30, 2019.

 

c)

During August 2017, the Company issued 512,004 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share. The expiry date for these warrants was August 8, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 256,002 of these warrants were exercised into common shares.

Subsequent Events

 

a)

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company settled certain claims affecting Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC (“PMI”) relating to periods arising prior to August 9, 2017, the date the Company acquired PMI. During 2019 the Company received an aggregate of approximately $4.1 million, approximately $2.9 million of which was received after June 30, 2019, from the escrow fund maintained for the sellers of PMI as a result of indemnity claims under the purchase agreement for PMI to fully and finally settle the claims affecting PMI.

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    8


Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 were 1,163 (in thousands) compared to 756 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. In fiscal 2018, the Company completed the Tampa Acquisition effective May 11, 2018, the Rose Acquisition effective August 15, 2018, the Kissimmee Acquisition effective November 1, 2018 and the Broward Acquisition effective November 9, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Acquisitions”). In fiscal 2019, the Company completed the Davie Acquisition effective April 1, 2019, the ADG Acquisitions effective May 31, 2019 and the Deltona Acquisition effective May 31, 2019 (collectively, the “2019 Acquisitions”). Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions (except for pro-rating for Tampa Acquisition) and 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 791 in the thee-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to 752 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 5%. This increase is mainly due to volume growth for the Florida business, partly offset by reduced volume in Texas following the NCI Acquisitions.

Revenue was $53,985 and $36,774 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, approximately 22% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 8% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 33% to 35% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions, with increased presence in Florida, which is generally a lower reimbursement state.

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 14%.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 10% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is attributable to adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 10% of revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 8% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and the fixed nature of certain costs included in third party services and professional fees.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 11% to 9% of revenue, partly due to the fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 9% of revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for three-month ended June 30, 2019 was $12,290 compared to $8,260 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions, the 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the thee-month period ended June 30, 2019 was 23% compared to 22% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net loss attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $961 (2% of revenue) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 and net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $1,436 (4% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to higher acquisition costs, interest, depreciation and financial instrument revaluation losses upon extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans, partly offset by timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions.

Volume and revenue. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 were 2,229 (in thousands) compared to 1,422 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions (except for pro-rating for Tampa Acquisition) and 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 1,507 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1,414 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 7%. This increase is mainly due to volume growth for the Florida business, partly offset by reduced volume in Texas following the NCI Acquisitions.

Revenue was $101,536 and $70,200 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, approximately 18% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 9% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 34% to 36% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions, with increased presence in Florida, which is generally a lower reimbursement state.

Reading fees. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 14% to 15%. The higher reading fees as a percentage of revenue are partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions.

Rent and utilities. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 10% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is attributable to adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 10% of revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 8% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and the fixed nature of certain costs included in third party services and professional fees.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 10% to 9% of revenue, partly due to the fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 9% of revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for six-month ended June 30, 2019 was $21,542 compared to $15,068 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 remained consistent at 21%.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $1,208 (1% of revenue) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2,596 (4% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to higher acquisition costs, interest, depreciation and financial instrument revaluation losses upon extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans, partly offset by timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions.

Cash was $22,018 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,692, as compared to $19,326 as at December 31, 2018. The increase in cash during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was due to $7,503 provided by operating activities and $190,502 provided by financing activities, offset by $195,314 used in investing activities. The classification of cash flows was impacted by adoption of IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019.

Accounts receivable were $66,547 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $36,736, as compared to $29,811 as at December 31, 2018. The increase in accounts receivable is due to: $6,356 of accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for Rose Acquisition, Kissimmee Acquisition and Broward Acquisition, $19,419 in accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocation of the ADG Acquisitions, increased business with attorney/auto payors, which have a longer collection cycle, and increased revenue in the period. As at June 30, 2019, the Company’s days of sales outstanding were approximately 92 days. Excluding attorney/auto payors, days of sales outstanding were approximately 69 days.

Property and equipment was $188,894 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $133,326, as compared to $55,568 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to property and equipment recognized in the purchase price allocations for Davie Acquisition ($598), ADG Acquisitions ($28,135) and Deltona Acquisitions ($449), right of use assets recognized upon adoption of IFRS 16 ($110,902), additions to right of use assets ($478), and capital expenditures ($5,328), partly offset by depreciation ($12,258) and net disposals ($306).

Intangible assets were $3,162 as at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $507, as compared to $3,669 as at December 31, 2018. This decrease is attributable to amortization recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $332,007 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $201,467 of as compared to $130,540 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to goodwill recognized from the 2019 Acquisitions, partly offset by decreases in goodwill mainly due to revisions to accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for the Rose Acquisition, the Kissimmee Acquisition and the Broward Acquisition totaling $6,427.

Total debt (excluding other lease liabilities) was $313,672 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $196,165 as compared to $117,507 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to May 2019 Loans proceeds ($322,600), non-cash interest accretion ($441), loss on revaluation upon settlement of Syndicated Loans and subordinated note ($1,850) and loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($7), partly offset by loan repayments ($112,081), repayment of subordinated note ($1,500), debt issuance costs ($14,782), and reduction in finance lease liabilities ($370).

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    12


The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $131,847 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $27,909 as compared to $103,938 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is due to issuance of $23,438 in common shares related to the ADG Acquisitions, $1,311 in RSUs and warrants exercised, stock-based compensation of $1,953, and net income of $1,208 earned by the Company during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Non-controlling interests were $2,632 as at June 30, 2019, an increase of $165, as compared to $2,467 as at December 31, 2018. The non-controlling interests are associated with the Texas Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such debt and equity issuances are noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019.

As at June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $22,018.

As at June 30, 2019, the Company had $313,672 of senior loans payable, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2019, $4,604 of these liabilities are due within one year.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

As at June 30, 2019, we had other lease liabilities of $124,586, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of June 30, 2019, $8,412 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at June 30, 2019, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $3,806. As of June 30, 2019, $908 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019 the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (“Term Loan A”, “Term Loan B” and collectively, “Term Loans”) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which $3,300 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the “May 2019 Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loans, the “May 2019 Loans”). $16 million of the Term Loan A is subject to a delayed draw and is available to the Company for use in potential acquisitions until August 29, 2019. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance the ADG Acquisition and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. As at June 30, 2019, the May 2019 Revolving Facility had a balance of $6,600.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    16


Syndicated Loan

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the “Syndicated Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (“Syndicated Term Loan”) of $100,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000, of which, $11,900 was utilized as of March 31, 2019 (the “Syndicated Revolving Facility”, and together with the “Syndicated Term Loan”, the “Syndicated Loans”). The Syndicated Loans can be increased by an additional $40,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the August 2017 Term Loan for $74,635, finance the Rose Acquisition, and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million.

In accordance with the terms of the Syndicated Loans, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to refinance the Syndicated Loans on May 31, 2019 for $112,482 (face value of $111,900 and accrued interest and related fees of $582). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $1,843 on the extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition, the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the Wesley Chapel Loan) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of June 30, 2019, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,700 (amortized cost of $1,624).

Subordinated Note Payable

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019 together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596 (face value of $1,500 and accrued interest of $96). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $7 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note—Earn-out) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note—Earn-out was revalued at $177 as at June 30, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    17


Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the loans to related parties, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans to related parties. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan and Subordinated Note. Amortization is recorded using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies the derivative financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition-earn-out, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. There have been no significant changes to those risks impacting the Company since December 31, 2018, nor has there been a significant change in the composition of its financial instruments since December 31, 2018, except for the Term Loans and the ADG Acquisition earn-out, which mainly relate to the ADG Acquisitions in May 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of approximately $181.

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    18


The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that certain senior officers and directors of the Company acquired an aggregate of 532,857 common shares of the Company at $3.50 per share for total cash consideration of $1,865. The shares were acquired pursuant to a previous exercise of a call option by Z Strategies Inc., a corporation controlled by Riadh Zine, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The call option was entered into in connection with Akumin US’s acquisition of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 at the request of certain selling securityholders of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC. On February 8, 2018, Akumin US agreed to lend an aggregate of $500 to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary in connection with the purchase by such officers of a total of approximately 142,857 common shares under that call option, as nominees of Z Strategies Inc. The principal amount remaining from time to time unpaid and outstanding on such loan shall bear interest at 6% per annum and will be payable on the maturity date, being February 8, 2021. Those borrowing officers of the Company have granted a security interest in the common shares purchased by them with the loan proceeds in favour of Akumin Corp.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  Q2 2019    19


The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and insurance companies for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q2 Fiscal 2019 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “The quarter ending June 30, 2019 represents another fiscal quarter of growth and financial performance in-line with management’s expectation, including revenue of $54.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $12.3 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q2 Fiscal 2019 was approximately 1,163,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 756,000 RVUs in Q2 Fiscal 2018, an increase of 54%. On an organic volume basis, RVUs increased by 5% compared to Q2 Fiscal 2018. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

Akumin would like to remind interested parties of the Corporation’s Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results Call, to be held today from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2018 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).


About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated August 13, 2019 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

“Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Akumin Expands in Texas with Five Diagnostic Centers

and US$13 Million Revenues

August 19, 2019 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU.U; AKU) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today it has acquired five freestanding, outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in El Paso, Texas from Southwest X-Ray, LP. The five multi-modality centers produced a combined revenue of $13.3 million on a last twelve months basis as at December 31, 2018. The purchase price due at closing was paid using proceeds drawn from Akumin’s revolving credit facility.

“We’re very excited to welcome Fernando and Veronica Escargaza and their team from Southwest X-Ray to the Akumin family. This transaction represents a strategic foothold in West Texas, executing on our strategy of expanding and building density in key markets,” said Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Akumin.”

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

2.1

Nature of Business Acquired

The Company consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Targets”) contemporaneously pursuant to separate share purchase agreements dated April 15, 2019 (the “Acquisitions”).

All of the Targets were under common management.

Acquisition Date

2.3

Consideration

The total purchase price for the Targets was approximately US$214 million of which an aggregate of US$25 million was satisfied by the issuance of Akumin shares at a price of US$4.00 per share (based on the purchase agreements) with the balance paid in cash. Part of the purchase price for SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, the exclusive manager of Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC, is subject to an earnout based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs and expenses. The cash portion of the purchase price was partly financed through new credit facilities for an aggregate principal amount of US$382 million which financing closed contemporaneously with the Acquisitions.

 

2.4

Effect on Financial Position

Contemporaneously with the closing of the Acquisitions, the Company increased its available credit facilities from an aggregate principal amount of US$130 million to US$382 million, a portion of which was used to finance the cash portion of the


purchase price payable in connection with the Acquisitions. The Company does not have any current plans or proposals for material changes in the Company’s business affairs or the affairs of the businesses of the Targets that it acquired which would have significant effects on the results of operations and financial position of the Company other than what has been discussed above.

 

2.5

Prior Valuations

To the knowledge of the Company, there has been no valuation opinion obtained within the last 12 months by the Targets or the Company required by securities legislation or a Canadian exchange or market to support the consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisitions.

Certain information included in this Business Acquisition Report, including the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company attached as Exhibit G, and statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future performance including the effect of the acquisition of the Targets on the Company’s results of operations or financial position, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS

OF ADG ACQUISITION HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a C-Corporation organized in the state of Florida on December 7, 2015. The Company was organized in connection with the conversion of all outstanding ownership interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (“ADH”) to 100% of the newly issued and outstanding shares of the Company on December 11, 2015. Concurrently, all ownership of the Company was transferred to a newly formed employee stock ownership plan (see Note 9) through a series of stock redemption and sales transactions. The Company owns and operates fourteen imaging centers throughout Florida. Imaging services provided by the Company consist of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”), Radiography (“X-Ray”), Computerized Tomography (“CT”), and Ultrasound.

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred.

The Company determined the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through application of FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value measurements were based on management judgments and management estimates (level 3 inputs under FASB ASC 820-10).

Basis of Accounting

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Goodwill

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Approximately 55% of the Company’s scan volume is derived from patient charges billed under the Personal Injury Protection statute of Florida law (Florida statute 627.736 – the “PIP” statute). This statute has been subjected to legislative scrutiny in recent years and may come under review again in future legislative sessions. Any significant change to the PIP statute could impact future revenues of the Company for its diagnostic imaging services.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Accounts receivable and related revenues are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed based on amounts the Company believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Amounts are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors.

Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables. The Company continuously monitors those factors affecting the collectability of accounts receivables and adjusts estimated allowances as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Depending on the changes made in the allowances, net revenues would increase or decrease.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivables included in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of amounts from insurance carriers billed under the PIP statute and amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys, all in connection with the PIP statute. Collections from insurance carriers are based on fee schedules prescribed in the PIP statute. Collections from attorneys can take up to four to seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Premises and Equipment

All premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements are recorded at cost.

Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficiency or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term which range from two to ten years. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization.

 

Medical equipment    5 –7 years
Office equipment    2 – 7 years
Computer equipment    3 – 7 years
Furniture and fixtures    5 years
Leasehold improvements    10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair value. The Company did not record an impairment loss related to long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Debt Issue Costs

Debt issue costs related to term debt are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the term of the respective loans and are presented as a reduction of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 835-30-45, Imputation of Interest. The gross carrying amount as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $419,745 and $1,159,056, respectively, with accumulated amortization of $69,958 and $442,786, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $786,228 and $222,478, respectively. Amortization expense in 2018 includes the write off of debt issue costs on refinanced debt of $716,270.

Puttable Warrants

The Company issued 727,273 warrants to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and former majority owner (the “Holder”) of ADH in connection with the formation of an employee stock ownership plan in December, 2015 (see Note 9). The warrant agreement contains a put right requiring the Company to redeem all or a portion of the warrants at a price as set forth therein in the event of a change of control or any time following the one year anniversary of the final payment on the subordinated note due the Holder. Puttable warrants create a conditional obligation of the Company and as such, are recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480-10-55-30, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company calculated the initial fair value of the warrants as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All future changes in the fair value of the warrants will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 470-20-25, Debt. The fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $6,070,000 and $5,800,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting primarily from the tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the fiscal period that includes the enactment date.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Income Taxes (continued)

The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential realization of deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, recent cumulative losses, recent and projected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In making this determination, the Company places greater emphasis on recent cumulative losses and recent tax planning strategies due to the inherent lack of subjectivity associated with these factors. In addition, the Company is subject to periodic examination of its income tax returns resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or to be required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

The Company is subject to routine income tax audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the Independent Auditors’ Report date. On April 15, 2019, the Company (along with other related party entities of the Company) entered into an agreement with a Canadian-based company to sell all outstanding equity interests for approximately $214,000,000. There were no other additional material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. The ASU requires all leases with lease terms more than 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance leases or operating leases. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In May 2017, the Company acquired an imaging center in Jacksonville, Florida through an Asset Purchase Agreement with an entity owned by members or executives of the Company. In connection with the purchase, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the selling entity in exchange for cash consideration paid by a lender of $7,000,000 plus contingent consideration (“earn-out”) of $125,000 per month beginning January 2018, payable over a period of seven years, at an amount not to exceed $5,000,000. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the calculation of goodwill reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Consideration transferred:

The monthly earn-out payment noted above is contingent upon the acquired business exceeding EBITDA of $1,800,000, as determined each month end over a trailing twelve month period. In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, contingent consideration is part of the total consideration transferred and is recorded at acquisition date at the estimated fair value of future payouts. The Company estimates that earn-out payments will be paid in full as scheduled over the remaining payout period and as such, recorded a liability at acquisition date of $3,777,658 for the estimated fair value of the payout obligation. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of the remaining monthly earn-out payments (28 months as of December 31, 2018 and 40 months as of December 31, 2017), using an interest rate of 13.5%. Future changes in the estimate of the payout obligation are recorded as a gain or charge to current period earnings. The fair value of the payout obligation was $3,035,582 and $4,085,923 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively as a result payments on the contingent consideration and interest component of the fair value computation.

 

3.

INTANGIBLE ASSET – LEASE RIGHT

During 2015, the Company acquired the lease rights to open a new imaging center in Palm Beach, Florida in exchange for seller short term financing of $7,200,000. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, no other assets were acquired or liabilities were assumed and as such, the entire purchase price is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as an intangible asset. The intangible asset is being amortized over 15 years representing the term of the lease plus renewal periods reasonably expected to be executed. Annual amortization expense for future years as well as 2018 and 2017 is $480,000.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – NET

Accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Accounts receivable are recorded on the date the diagnostic procedure is performed. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company provided an allowance of doubtful accounts totaling $1,200,000 and $700,000, respectively, which is presented as a direct reduction of non-current accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, accounts receivable (including the noncurrent portion) were $16,410,048 and $14,286,431, respectively. Gross receivables as reported on the Company’s billing system at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $57,000,000 and $44,000,000, respectively. Collections on certain receivables generally exceed one year and as a result, management has classified 20% of receivables as long term.

INCOME TAXES

The components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

 

     2018      2017

   $ 975,974      $ 254,365

   $ 605,278      $ 51,617  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from what would be expected if the Federal statutory rate of 21% for 2018 (newly enacted tax rate effective for 2018) or 34% for 2017 was applied to income before taxes. For 2018, the higher effective tax rate resulted primarily from the effect of state income taxes and the inclusion in these financial statements of nondeductible expenses related to meals and entertainment and for expense recognized for the increase in the liability for puttable warrants. For 2017, the effective tax rate increased for these same items but was overall lower than the Federal statutory rate as a result of adjustments recognized in the Company’s net deferred taxes liabilities for changes in tax laws and corporate tax rates. Reductions to the Company’s net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2017 resulting from changes in corporate tax rates were approximately $201,000.

INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

 

     2018      2017  

Deferred tax liabilities:

     

Tax depreciation in excess of book

   $ 1,154,642      $ 548,334

The Company receives favorable tax treatment for contributions made to the employee stock ownership plan (see discussion at Note 9). Contributions made prior to September 15th of the following year are deductible in the tax return of the preceding year. For the plan year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made contributions to the plan on April 9, 2019 and on December 31, 2018 of approximately $1,333,000 and 2,485,000, respectively. For the plan year ended December 31, 2017, the Company made contributions to the plan on December 20, 2017 of approximately $2,465,000. In accordance with ASC 718-740-45-5, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the tax effect of deductible amounts in excess of expense recorded in the consolidated financial statements (related to the plan contribution) is recognized as a credit to shareholders’ equity. The Company recorded credits to shareholders’ equity for deductible plan expenses in excess of related book expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 of approximately $470,000 and $240,000, respectively.

The Company performs an evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax assets on an annual basis. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential of realizing deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, recent and projected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The Company did not record a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 against its deferred income tax assets as they are more likely than not to be realized in future periods.

The Company intends to request a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) granting relief for the omission of a certain technical filing form required by Federal tax regulations in order to file returns on a consolidated basis. The Company has filed consolidated returns since its conversion to a C-Corporation on December 11, 2015. Since the statute closes on the 2015 short period return in September 2019, the Company will likely seek the ruling for 2016 and amend/file on a

subsidiary level basis for the period December 12, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The Company is unable, at this time, to estimate any possible tax liability for periods after 2015 if the IRS were ultimately to rule against the availability of filing consolidated returns. The Company does not expect any significant tax liability to be generated as a result of filing returns for the 20 day period in 2015 on a subsidiary level basis.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In December 2015, the Company formed an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”). Prior to forming the ESOP, the former members of ADH converted their membership interests into 1,000,000 shares of a newly formed C-Corporation, ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (referred to throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as the “Company”). In connection with the ESOP transaction, the Company redeemed 561,500 of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares for $34,797,201.

Concurrently, the ESOP acquired from the Company the redeemed shares plus the remaining 438,500 outstanding shares held by the majority owner for a total purchase price of $61,971,863. The purchase price was funded by an internal loan between the Company and the ESOP for the same amount. In accordance with ASC 718-40, Employee Stock Ownership Plans, the loan between the Company and the ESOP and the related interest income (to the Company) and interest expense (to the ESOP) are not reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The cost of those shares (pledged as collateral for the internal loan) are reported as Unearned ESOP Shares in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Under ASC 718-40, the annual contribution to the ESOP by the Company (equal to the ESOP’s debt service on the internal loan as discussed above) is also not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Contributions are deductible in the Company’s consolidated tax return if funded prior to September 15th of the following year. As the internal loan is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees based on the provisions of the plan document.

Compensation expense is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the post ESOP period based on the shares released and the fair value of the those shares as estimated by the Company. Shares released to the ESOP for 2018 and 2017 were 38,571.62 and 24,757.89, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense for those shares of $424,288 and $257,482 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, based on the estimated fair value per share of $11.00 and $10.40, respectively. The cost of those shares to the ESOP of $61.97 per share is recorded as a reduction to Unearned ESOP Shares with the difference between fair value and cost per share recorded as an increase of decrease to accumulated deficit.

The ESOP covers all employees who have reached 21 years old and who have been an employee of the Company for at least one year.

As the Company is not traded on an established securities market, the ESOP includes a put option, if the owners of distributed shares desire to sell their shares, the Company is required to purchase the shares at fair value as defined by the ESOP for a specified time period after distribution of the shares from the ESOP.

Board of Managers

TIC Acquisition Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries

West Palm Beach, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TIC Acquisition Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) is a Limited Liability Corporation organized in the state of Florida on January 1, 2018. The Company was organized in connection with the acquisition, effective January 1, 2018, of all outstanding member ownership interests of Imaging Centers of West Palm Beach, LLC and Subsidiaries (“ICW”), and certain assets of Imaging Center Management, Inc., which provided management services to ICW, (see Note 2) (together the “ICW Acquisition”). The Company owned, operated or managed seven imaging centers throughout Florida as of December 31, 2018. Imaging services provided by the Company consist of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) and Radiography (“X-Ray”).

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred. The Company adopted the accounting alternative under ASC 805 effective January 1, 2018, which allows a private company to limit certain customer-related intangibles it recognizes separately under ASC 805 and include in goodwill. Under this alternative, private companies also do not separately recognize noncompetition agreements acquired as part of the transaction.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s primary financial instruments at December 31, 2018, and for the year then ended, consisted of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated their carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates their carrying value based on the short duration and variable interest rates.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and recoverability of carrying amount, and the estimated useful lives, of its long-lived assets. Although management believes that the Company’s assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible assets

The trade name finite-lived intangible asset acquired in the ICW Acquisition was initially measured based on its estimated fair value. The trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. There was no impairment loss for intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2018. See Notes 2 and 5.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets in the ICW Acquisition effective January 1, 2018.

The Company elected the accounting alternative under Topic 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) includes specific reporting disclosure requirements for privately held companies and allows eligible private companies to amortize goodwill and apply a one-step impairment model.

Goodwill is tested for impairment when a triggering event occurs that indicates that the fair value of an entity may be below its carrying amount. Such triggering events could include, but are not limited to, declining overall financial performance or deterioration in general economic conditions. When a triggering event occurs, management will first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the quantitative impairment test is necessary. If that qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, management must perform the quantitative test to compare the entity’s fair value with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, further testing is not necessary.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Goodwill impairment loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the entity over its estimated fair value. Management noted no impairment indicators during the period ended December 31, 2018 or through the date of issuance of these financial statements which would result in an impairment loss. Adverse changes in operating results and/or unfavorable changes in economic factors used to estimate fair values could result in a non-cash impairment charge in the future.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Approximately 41% of the Company’s scan volume is derived from patient charges billed under the PIP statutes. This statute has been subjected to legislative scrutiny in recent years and may come under review again in future legislative sessions. Any significant change to the PIP statutes could impact future revenues of the Company for its diagnostic imaging services.

Regulatory and Other Matters

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs and healthcare generally are complex and subject to interpretation. Many of the Company’s other payers and provider contracts are also complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of medical services.

Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following contract implementation. Liabilities for claims disputes are recorded when the loss is probable and can be estimated. Any adjustments to amounts previously recognized are reflected in the period the change in estimate becomes known.

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has continued with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. The Company believes that it is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

The Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) assures health insurance portability, reduces healthcare fraud and abuse, guarantees security and privacy of health information, and enforces standards for health information.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”), along with certain state rules, expanded upon HIPAA in a number of ways, including establishing notification requirements for certain breaches of protected health information. The Company may be subject to significant fines and penalties if found not to be compliant with these state or federal provisions.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Patient service revenues and related accounts receivable are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed at amounts the Company believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Charges are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors. The regulations for government-sponsored healthcare programs and third-party payor contracts are complex and subject to interpretation. Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated historical collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables.

The Company continuously monitors those factors affecting the allowance for contractual adjustments and collectability of accounts receivable and adjusts amounts as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Adjustments to previous estimates are recorded as contractual adjustments and reported in the periods that such adjustments become known.

The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of who are local residents and are insured by third-party payor agreements. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in accounts receivable, net of the allowance for contractual adjustments, based on a number of factors, including payor collection and adjustment history and review of past due balances, with particular emphasis on self-pay past due accounts greater than 90 days old. The Company writes off account balances against the allowance for contractual accounts after it exhausts all means of collection and considers the likelihood of recovery to be remote. The Company adjusts the allowance for uncollectible accounts as more current information becomes available and such adjustments are recorded in earnings in the period in which the change in estimate becomes known.

Cost of Services

Costs of services includes the cost of radiologist services and contracts, MRI technicians, and medical supplies and expenses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivables included in the consolidated balance sheet consist primarily of amounts from insurance carriers billed under the Florida Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) statutes and amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys, all in connection with the PIP statutes. Collections from insurance carriers are based on fee schedules prescribed in the PIP statutes. Collections from attorneys can take from one month to up seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, calculated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Premises and equipment obtained in connection with business acquisitions are stated at their estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon disposal of property and equipment, the cost of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficient or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization.

Useful lives of premises and equipment are estimated as follows:

 

Medical equipment      5-7 years  
Leasehold improvements      10 years  
Computer equipment      3-7 years  
Furniture and fixtures      5 years  
Office equipment      2-7 years  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company would compare the carrying amounts to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. There were no events or circumstances identified for the year ended December 31, 2018 that caused the Company to conclude that long-lived assets should be tested for impairment.

Income taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries were formed as limited liability companies and are classified as pass-through entities for income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities or benefits passed through to its members. As such, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Since the Company was organized in 2018, no tax years, other than 2018, remain open to examination by taxing authorities.

TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for and reporting of income tax uncertainties, and requires additional disclosures related to uncertain income tax positions. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed the positions for its open tax years in its major jurisdictions and has determined whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. No reserves for uncertain tax positions were required to have been recorded at December 31, 2018.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $129,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is than an entity should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize at the commencement date for all leases (with the exception of lease terms of 12 months or less for which there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset): (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The standard was to be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, with early application permitted, however, the FASB met in July 2019 and is expected to defer the effective date until years beginning after December 15, 2020. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this new guidance.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (“SFL”) is a limited liability company organized in the state of Florida on September 15, 2015. SFL was initially organized for the primary purpose of acquiring the outstanding membership interests in First Coast Imaging, LLC (“FCI”) on September 30, 2015. FCI performed imaging services consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) and radiography (“X-Ray”) in Jacksonville, Florida. In May 2017, SFL sold FCI (see Note 3) to a related party and as a result, had no other operating activities at that time other than acquiring and leasing medical equipment.

During July 2015, SFL entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the “LOC”) with Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC (“Elite”) to borrow up to $2,000,000, which was amended in June 2017 for up to $4,000,000. Under the terms of the LOC, SFL advanced funds on a periodic basis for Elite’s working capital needs. In addition, effective May 1, 2018, SFL entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the “ASA”) with Elite. Under the terms of the ASA, SFL provides the following services to each the entity’s locations: human resources, information management, technical support, marketing techniques, and other administrative and support services. All equipment leases of SFL are to Elite. Elite is a limited liability company organized in the state of Georgia on July 1, 2015. Elite owns and operates four imaging centers throughout Georgia. Imaging services provided by Elite consist of MRI and X-Ray.

Variable Interest Entity

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, a reporting entity with a variable interest in another company is required to include the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of that separate company (i.e., consolidate with the financial statements of the reporting entity) when the variable interest is determined to be a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810, a reporting entity is considered to have a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) if: 1.) the reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and 2.) the reporting entity has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

As a result of the financial relationship established through the LOC and ASA noted above, Elite qualifies as a variable interest entity as SFL has the power to direct the activities of and is owed significant amounts from Elite. As a result, SFL is considered the primary beneficiary of Elite, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses of Elite are included in these consolidated financial statements. Due to SFL’s economic interest as described, the entirety of Elite’s operations is reflected as being attributable to SFL in these consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFL and Elite (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred.

The Company determined the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through application of FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value measurements were based on management judgments and management estimates (level 3 inputs under FASB ASC 820-10).

Basis of Accounting

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Risks and Uncertainties

Elite is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Accounts receivable and related revenues are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed based on amounts Elite believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Amounts are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors.

Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables. Elite continuously monitors those factors affecting the collectability of accounts receivables and adjusts estimated allowances as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Depending on the changes made in the allowances, net revenues would increase or decrease.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable included in the consolidated balance sheet consist primarily of amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys. Collections from attorneys can take up to six months to seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Property and Equipment

All property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficiency or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term.

 

Medical equipment    5 years
Computer equipment    5 years
Furniture and fixtures    5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair value. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to any long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2018.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Debt Issue Costs

Debt issue costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective loans and are presented as a reduction of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The gross carrying amount as of December 31, 2018 was $48,741 with accumulated amortization of $23,569. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3,769.

Income Taxes

SFL, with the consent of its members, have elected under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) to be taxed as a Partnership. In lieu of corporation Federal and state income taxes, the members of a limited liability company are taxed on their proportionate share of a company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the Independent Auditors’ Report date. On April 15, 2019, SFL (along with other related party entities of the Company) entered into an agreement with a Canadian-based company to sell all outstanding equity interests for approximately $214,000,000. On April 26, 2019, Elite acquired certain assets from an imaging center in Georgia under an asset purchase agreement for a cash purchase price of $300,000. There were no other additional material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. The ASU requires all leases with lease terms more than 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance leases or operating leases. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

RECEIVABLE FOR CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

In May 2017, the Company sold their imaging center in Jacksonville, Florida to a related party entity through an Asset Purchase Agreement. Part of the purchase consideration under the terms of the sale was contingent consideration payable to SFL (“earn-out”) of $125,000 per month beginning January 2018, payable over seven years, at an amount not to exceed $5,000,000.

The monthly earn-out payment is contingent upon the imaging center acquired generating EBITDA of $1,800,000, as determined each month end over a trailing twelve month period. SFL recorded the contingent consideration at acquisition date at estimated fair value based on expected future payouts. On the date of sale, the Company estimated that the earn-out payments would be received in full over the four next years (no payment due for first 8 months May to December 2017) and as such, recorded an initial receivable of $3,777,658 for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of the remaining monthly earn-out payments (28 months as of December 31, 2018), using an interest rate of 13.5%. The fair value of the receivable was $3,035,582 at December 31, 2018 as a result of payments received and the interest income component of the present value computation. Future changes in the estimate of the payout obligation are recorded as a gain or charge to current period earnings.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – NET

Accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Accounts receivable are recorded on the date the diagnostic procedure is performed. At December 31, 2018, in the opinion of management, all accounts were considered collectible and no allowance was deemed necessary. At December 31, 2018, accounts receivable (including the noncurrent portion) were $2,566,115. Gross receivables as reported on the Company’s billing system at December 31, 2018 were approximately $6,200,000.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – NET (continued)

 

Collections on certain receivables contractually depend on when and if the patient’s case is settled, which generally exceeds one year, and as a result, management has classified 45% of receivables as noncurrent.

Elite routinely sells its accounts receivable related primarily to MRI scans to various entities without recourse for the purpose of raising working capital. Elite recognizes a loss on these sales based on the negotiated sales price with the various entities. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Elite recorded a loss on sale of accounts receivable in the amount of $5,053,080, of which $3,675,855 was to a related party entity. The agreement to sell accounts receivable to the related party entity was terminated on September 30, 2018.

 

5.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. It applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP are described as follows:

 

  Level 1

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

  Level 2

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 2 inputs include those other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified term the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

  Level 3

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. All assets measured by the Company are considered Level 3 assets.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

The Company has applied a present value technique over the earn-out term using its own incremental borrowing rate to calculate the fair value of the contingent earn-out receivable. The incremental borrowing rate used was 13.5% as of December 31, 2018. The Company relies on available financial statement data of its investments to evaluate the reasonableness of the fair value of its Level 3 assets.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

A summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 is as follows:

 

Balance at December 31, 2017:

   $ 4,085,923

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against the risk of interest rate increases on the related variable rate debt. The derivative financial instrument is not held for trading purposes and the cash flow effects of the swap arrangement will be included in interest expense as it occurs. Because the swap and related debt agreement were effective November 26, 2018, the effect of the swap for the year ended December 31, 2018 was nominal.

At December 31, 2018, the interest rate swap agreement consisted of the following:

   $ 1,354,542        5.59     4.87     (.72 )%      11/26/2023  

The hedging contract is classified as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, is adjusted to current market value until the underlying transactions are recognized. The Company has determined fair value through the application of FASB 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, using quoted market prices within active markets for similar liabilities (Level 2 inputs). Accordingly the fair value of $26,174 as of December 31, 2018 (initial year of agreement) is recorded as other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. For cash flow purposes, change in fair value loss on the interest rate swap agreement is considered a noncash transaction.

Because of potential interest rate fluctuations, the Company has exposure to future gains or losses upon ultimate settlement. Management believes that the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty is remote.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

As of March 31, 2019, ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a C-Corporation organized in the state of Florida on December 7, 2015. The Company was organized in connection with the conversion of all outstanding ownership interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (“ADH”) to 100% of the newly issued and outstanding shares of the Company on December 11, 2015. Concurrently, all ownership of the Company was transferred to a newly formed employee stock ownership plan through a series of stock redemption and sales transactions. The Company owns and operates fourteen imaging centers throughout Florida. Imaging services provided by the Company consist of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”), Radiography (“X-Ray”), Computerized Tomography (“CT”), and Ultrasound.

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred.

The Company determined the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through application of FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value measurements were based on management judgments and management estimates (level 3 inputs under FASB ASC 820-10).

Basis of Accounting

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to goodwill for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Approximately 55% of the Company’s scan volume is derived from patient charges billed under the Personal Injury Protection statute of Florida law (Florida statute 627.736 – the “PIP” statute). This statute has been subjected to legislative scrutiny in recent years and may come under review again in future legislative sessions. Any significant change to the PIP statute could impact future revenues of the Company for its diagnostic imaging services.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Accounts receivable and related revenues are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed based on amounts the Company believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Amounts are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors.

Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables. The Company continuously monitors those factors affecting the collectability of accounts receivables and adjusts estimated allowances as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Depending on the changes made in the allowances, net revenues would increase or decrease.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivables included in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of amounts from insurance carriers billed under the PIP statute and amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys, all in connection with the PIP statute. Collections from insurance carriers are based on fee schedules prescribed in the PIP statute. Collections from attorneys can take up to four to seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Premises and Equipment

All premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements are recorded at cost.

ADG ACQUISITION HOLDINGS, INC.

 

 

 

Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficiency or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term which range from two to ten years. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization.

 

  Medical equipment    5 – 7 years   
  Office equipment    2 – 7 years   
  Computer equipment    3 – 7 years   
  Furniture and fixtures    5 years   
  Leasehold improvements    10 years   

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates its long- lived assets for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair value. The Company did not record an impairment loss related to long-lived assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Debt Issue Costs

Debt issue costs related to term debt are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the term of the respective loans and are presented as a reduction of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 835-30-45, Imputation of Interest. The gross carrying amount as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $328,800 and $349,787 respectively. Amortization expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $20,987 and $786,228, respectively. Amortization expense in 2018 includes the write off of debt issue costs on refinanced debt of $716,270.

Puttable Warrants

The Company issued 727,273 warrants to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and former majority owner (the “Holder”) of ADH in connection with the formation of an employee stock ownership plan in December, 2015 (see Note 9). The warrant agreement contains a put right requiring the Company to redeem all or a portion of the warrants at a price as set forth therein in the event of a change of control or any time following the one year anniversary of the final payment on the subordinated note due the Holder. Puttable warrants create a conditional obligation of the Company and as such, are recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480-10-55-30, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company calculates the initial fair value of the warrants annually in conjunction with its financial audit by external accountants. The fair value of the warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All future changes in the fair value of the warrants will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 470-20-25, Debt. The fair value of the warrants as of December 31, 2018 was $4,779,276 which is the same value as March 31, 2019.

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting primarily from the tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the fiscal period that includes the enactment date.

The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential realization of deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, recent cumulative losses, recent and projected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In making this determination, the Company places greater emphasis on recent cumulative losses and recent tax planning strategies due to the inherent lack of subjectivity associated with these factors. In addition, the Company is subject to periodic examination of its income tax returns resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or to be required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

The Company is subject to routine income tax audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Subsequent Events

On April 15, 2019, the Company (along with other related party entities of the Company) entered into an agreement with a Canadian-based company to sell all outstanding equity interests for approximately $118,037,000. On June 1, 2019, effective 12:10 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, the Company closed this sale of all outstanding equity interest.

There were no other additional material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. The ASU requires all leases with lease terms more than 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance leases or operating leases. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In May 2017, the Company acquired an imaging center in Jacksonville, Florida through an Asset Purchase Agreement with an entity owned by members or executives of the Company. In connection with the purchase, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the selling entity in exchange for cash consideration paid by a lender of $7,000,000 plus contingent consideration (“earn-out”) of $125,000 per month beginning January 2018, payable over a period of seven years, at an amount not to exceed $5,000,000. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the calculation of goodwill reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Consideration transferred:

  

Cash

   $ 7,000,000  

Contingent consideration (see below)

     3,777,658  

Accrued liabilities assumed

     408,510

     (1,566,736
  

 

 

 

Goodwill

   $ 9,619,432  
  

 

 

 

The monthly earn-out payment noted above is contingent upon the acquired business exceeding EBITDA of $1,800,000, as determined each month end over a trailing twelve-month period. In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, contingent consideration is part of the total consideration transferred and is recorded at acquisition date at the estimated fair value of future payouts. The Company estimates that earn-out payments will be paid in full as scheduled over the remaining payout period and as such, recorded a liability at acquisition date of $3,777,658 for the estimated fair value of the payout obligation. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of the remaining monthly earn-out payments (28 months as of December 31, 2018 and 40 months as of December 31, 2017), using an interest rate of 13.5%. Future changes in the estimate of the payout obligation are recorded as a gain or charge to current period earnings. The fair value of the payout obligation was $2,660,582 and $3,035,582 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, as a result of payments on the contingent consideration and interest component of the fair value computation.

INTANGIBLE ASSET – LEASE RIGHT

During 2015, the Company acquired the lease rights to open a new imaging center in Palm Beach, Florida in exchange for seller short term financing of $7,200,000. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, no other assets were acquired or liabilities were assumed and as such, the entire purchase price is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as an intangible asset. The intangible asset is being amortized over 15 years representing the term of the lease plus renewal periods reasonably expected to be executed. Annual amortization expense for future years equals $480,000 as a result of monthly straight-line amortization of $40,000.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In December 2015, the Company formed an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”). Prior to forming the ESOP, the former members of ADH converted their membership interests into 1,000,000 shares of a newly formed C-Corporation, ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (referred to throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as the “Company”). In connection with the ESOP transaction, the Company redeemed 561,500 of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares for $34,797,201.

Concurrently, the ESOP acquired from the Company the redeemed shares plus the remaining 438,500 outstanding shares held by the majority owner for a total purchase price of $61,971,863. The purchase price was funded by an internal loan between the Company and the ESOP for the same amount. In accordance with ASC 718-40, Employee Stock Ownership Plans, the loan between the Company and the ESOP and the related interest income (to the Company) and interest expense (to the ESOP) are not reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The cost of those shares (pledged as collateral for the internal loan) are reported as Unearned ESOP Shares in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Under ASC 718-40, the annual contribution to the ESOP by the Company (equal to the ESOP’s debt service on the internal loan as discussed above) is also not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Contributions are deductible in the Company’s consolidated tax return if funded prior to September 15th of the following year. As the internal loan is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees based on the provisions of the plan document.

ADG ACQUISITION HOLDINGS, INC.

 

 

 

Compensation expense is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the post ESOP period based on the shares released and the fair value of the those shares as estimated by the Company. Shares released to the ESOP for 2018 equaled 38,571.62. The Company recorded compensation expense for those shares of $424,288 for the years ended December 31, 2018, based on the estimated fair value per share of $11.00. The cost of those shares to the ESOP of $61.97 per share is recorded as a reduction to Unearned ESOP Shares with the difference between fair value and cost per share recorded as an increase of decrease to accumulated deficit.

The ESOP covers all employees who have reached 21 years old and who have been an employee of the Company for at least one year.

As the Company is not traded on an established securities market, the ESOP includes a put option, if the owners of distributed shares desire to sell their shares, the Company is required to purchase the shares at fair value as defined by the ESOP for a specified time period after distribution of the shares from the ESOP.

 

9.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company adopted a Management Incentive Plan effective January 1, 2016 making available for issuance stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for issuance to key employees.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) is a Limited Liability Corporation organized in the state of Florida on January 1, 2018. The Company was organized in connection with the acquisition, effective January 1, 2018, of all outstanding member ownership interests of Imaging Centers of West Palm Beach, LLC and Subsidiaries (“ICW”), and certain assets of Imaging Center Management, Inc., which provided management services to ICW (see Note 2) (together the “ICW Acquisition”). The Company owned, operated or managed seven imaging centers throughout Florida as of December 31, 2018. Imaging services provided by the Company consist of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) and Radiography (“X-Ray”).

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred. The Company adopted the accounting alternative under ASC 805 effective January 1, 2018, which allows a private company to limit certain customer-related intangibles it recognizes separately under ASC 805 and include in goodwill. Under this alternative, private companies also do not separately recognize noncompetition agreements acquired as part of the transaction.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and recoverability of carrying amount, and the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets. Although management believes that the Company’s assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible Assets

The trade name finite-lived intangible asset acquired in the ICW Acquisition was initially measured based on its estimated fair value. The trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis its estimated useful life of 5 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. There was no impairment loss for intangible assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets in the ICW Acquisition effective January 1, 2018.

The Company elected the accounting alternative under Topic 350, lntangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) includes specific reporting disclosure requirements for privately held companies and allows eligible private companies to amortize goodwill and apply a one-step impairment model.

Goodwill is tested for impairment when a triggering event occurs that indicates that the fair value of an entity may be below its carrying amount. Such triggering events could include, but are not limited to, declining overall financial performance or deterioration in general economic conditions. When a triggering event occurs, management will first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the quantitative impairment test is necessary. If that qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, management must perform the quantitative test to compare the entity’s fair value with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, further testing is not necessary. Goodwill impairment loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the entity over its estimated fair value. Management noted no impairment indicators during the period ended March 31, 2019. Adverse changes in operating results and/or unfavorable changes in economic factors used to estimate fair values could result in a non-cash impairment charge in the future.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Approximately 41% of the Company’s scan volume is derived from patient charges billed under the PIP statutes. This statute has been subjected to legislative scrutiny in recent years and may come under review again in future legislative sessions. Any significant change to the PIP statute could impact future revenues of the Company for its diagnostic imaging services.

Regulatory and Other Matters

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs and healthcare generally are complex and subject to interpretation. Many of the Company’s payer and provider contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of medical services.

Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following contract implementation. Liabilities for claims disputes are recorded when the loss is probable and can be estimated. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in current operations.

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has continued with respect to investigations and

allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. The Company believes that it is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

The Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) assures health insurance portability, reduces healthcare fraud and abuse, guarantees security and privacy of health information, and enforces standards for health information.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”), along with certain state rules, expanded upon HIPAA in a number of ways, including establishing notification requirements for certain breaches of protected health information. The Company may be subject to significant fines and penalties if found not to be compliant with these state or federal provisions.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Patient service revenues and related accounts receivable are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed at amounts the Company believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Charges are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors. The regulations for government-sponsored healthcare programs and third-party payor contracts are complex and subject to interpretation. Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables.

The Company continuously monitors those factors affecting the collectability of accounts receivable and adjusts estimated allowances as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Adjustments to previous estimates are recorded as contractual adjustments and reported in the periods that such adjustments become known.

The Company grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of who are local residents and are insured by third-party payor agreements. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in accounts receivable, net of the allowance for contractual adjustments, based on a number of factors, including payor collection and adjustment history and review of past due balances, with particular emphasis on self-pay past due accounts greater than 90 days old. The Company writes off account balances against the allowance for contractual accounts after it exhausts all means of collection and considers the likelihood of recover to be remote. The Company adjusts the allowance for uncollectible accounts as more current information becomes available and such adjustments are recorded in earnings in the period in which the change in estimate becomes known.

Cost of Services

Costs of services includes the cost of radiologist services and contracts, MRI technicians, and medical supplies and expenses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivables included in the consolidated balance sheet consist primarily of amounts from insurance carriers billed under the PIP statute and amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys, all in connection with the PIP statute. Collections from insurance carriers are based on fee schedules prescribed in the PIP statute. Collections from attorneys can take from one month to up seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, calculated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Premises and equipment obtained in connection with business acquisitions are stated at their estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon disposal of property and equipment, the cost of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficient or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization.

Useful lives of premises and equipment are estimated as follows:

 

Medical equipment      5 –7 years  
Leasehold improvements      10 years  
Computer equipment      3 –7 years  
Furniture and fixtures      5 years  
Office equipment      2 –7 years  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company would compare the carrying amounts to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset There were no events or circumstances identified for the period ended March 31, 2019 that caused the Company to conclude that long-lived assets should be tested for impairment.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries were formed as limited liability companies and are classified as pass-through entities for income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities or benefits passed through to its members. As such,

TIC ACQUISITION HOLDINGS, LLC

 

 

 

no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Since the Company was organized in 2018, no tax years, other than 2018, remain open to examination by taxing authorities.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for and reporting of income tax uncertainties, and requires additional disclosures related to uncertain income tax positions. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed the positions for its open tax years in its major jurisdictions and has determined whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. No reserves for uncertain tax positions were required to have been recorded at March 31, 2019.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $25,441 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is than an entity should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize at the commencement date for all leases (with the exception of lease terms of 12 months or less for which there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset): (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The standard was to be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, with early application permitted, however, the FASB met in July 2019 and is expected to defer the effective date until years beginning after December 15, 2020. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this new guidance.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Accounts receivable are recorded on the date the diagnostic procedure is performed. At March 31, 2019, accounts receivable (including the noncurrent portion) were $5,549,139.

Due to the Company’s focus on business from PIP and letters of protection throughout the state of Florida and over 60% of the Company’s gross charges outstanding are over 120 days old, collections on these receivables can exceed one year from the date of charge. As a result, management estimates that 20% of receivables are long term.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (“SFL”) is a limited liability company organized in the state of Florida on September 15, 2015. SFL was initially organized for the primary purpose of acquiring the outstanding membership interests in First Coast Imaging, LLC (“FCI”) on September 30, 2015. FCI performed imaging services consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) and radiography (“X-Ray”) in Jacksonville, Florida. In May 2017, SFL sold FCI (see Note 3) to a related party and as a result, had no other operating activities at that time other than acquiring and leasing medical equipment.

During July 2015, SFL entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the “LOC”) with Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC (“Elite”) to borrow up to $2,000,000, which was amended in June 2017 for up to $4,000,000. Under the terms of the LOC, SFL advanced funds on a periodic basis for Elite’s working capital needs. In addition, effective May 1, 2018, SFL entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the “ASA”) with Elite. Under the terms of the ASA, SFL provides the following services to each the entity’s locations: human resources, information management, technical support, marketing techniques, and other administrative and support services. All equipment leases of SFL are to Elite. Elite is a limited liability company organized in the state of Georgia on July 1, 2015. Elite owns and operates four imaging centers throughout Georgia. Imaging services provided by Elite consist of MRI and X-Ray.

Variable Interest Entity

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, a reporting entity with a variable interest in another company is required to include the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of that separate company (i.e., consolidate with the financial statements of the reporting entity) when the variable interest is determined to be a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810, a reporting entity is considered to have a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) if: 1.) the reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and 2.) the reporting entity has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

As a result of the financial relationship established through the LOC and ASA noted above, Elite qualifies as a variable interest entity as SFL has the power to direct the activities of and is owed significant amounts from Elite. As a result, SFL is considered the primary beneficiary of Elite, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses of Elite are included in these consolidated financial statements. Due to SFL’s economic interest as described, the entirety of Elite’s operations is reflected as being attributable to SFL in these consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFL and Elite (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Acquisition Method for Business Combinations

In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded either as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related costs including professional fees are expensed as incurred.

 

6


SFL RADIOLOGY HOLDINGS, LLC

 

 

 

The Company determined the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through application of FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value measurements were based on management judgments and management estimates (level 3 inputs under FASB ASC 820-10).

Basis of Accounting

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to goodwill for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Risks and Uncertainties

Elite is highly dependent on referrals from physicians who have no contractual obligation or economic incentive to refer patients to the Company’s facilities. The Company is also subject to various state and federal laws and regulations which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship (an ownership interest or compensation arrangement) and prohibit the provision of certain medical services by non-physicians and/or the splitting of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes its operations are conducted in material compliance with existing applicable laws.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Transaction Account Guarantee Program. From time to time, cash balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Net Patient Service Revenues

Accounts receivable and related revenues are recognized on the date diagnostic imaging services are performed based on amounts Elite believes are reasonably assured of being collected. Amounts are recorded at established billing rates and reduced by estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Contractual adjustments result from differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursement rates paid by insurance companies, government-sponsored healthcare programs and other third-party payors.

 

7


SFL RADIOLOGY HOLDINGS, LLC

 

 

 

Allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts are based on estimated collection rates, changes in payor mix, specific payor collection issues, changes in contract pricing and the aging of accounts receivables. Elite continuously monitors those factors affecting the collectability of accounts receivables and adjusts estimated allowances as final settlements are determined and as estimates of future collections change. Depending on the changes made in the allowances, net revenues would increase or decrease.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable included in the consolidated balance sheet consist primarily of amounts billed through Letters of Protection (promises to pay) with attorneys. Collections from attorneys can take up to six months to seven years or more depending on when and if the patient’s case is settled.

Premises and Equipment

All property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve efficiency or extend useful lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term.

 

Medical equipment    5 years
Computer equipment    5 years
Furniture and fixtures    5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates its long- lived assets for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair value. The Company did not record an impairment loss related to long-lived assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Debt Issue Costs

Debt issue costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective loans and are presented as a reduction of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Income Taxes

SFL, with the consent of its members, have elected under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) to be taxed as a Partnership. In lieu of corporation Federal and state income taxes, the members of a limited liability company are taxed on their proportionate share of a company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

On April 15, 2019, SFL (along with other related party entities of the Company) entered into an agreement with a Canadian-based company to sell all outstanding equity interests for approximately $47,733,000 plus/minus various transaction adjustments. On June 1, 2019, effective 12:10 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, the SFL closed this sale of all outstanding equity interest.

On April 26, 2019, Elite acquired certain assets from an imaging center in Georgia under an asset purchase agreement for a cash purchase price of $300,000.

There were no other additional material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. The ASU requires all leases with lease terms more than 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance leases or operating leases. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During October 2018, Elite acquired an imaging center in Duluth, GA in exchange for cash consideration of $1,450,000. There were no liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the calculation of goodwill reporting in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

RECEIVABLE FOR CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

In May 2017, the Company sold their imaging center in Jacksonville, Florida to a related party entity through an Asset Purchase Agreement. Part of the purchase consideration under the terms of the sale was contingent consideration payable to SFL (“earn-out”) of $125,000 per month beginning January 2018, payable over seven years, at an amount not to exceed $5,000,000.

The monthly earn-out payment is contingent upon the imaging center acquired generating EBITDA of $1,800,000, as determined each month end over a trailing twelve-month period. SFL recorded the contingent consideration at acquisition date at estimated fair value based on expected future payouts. On the date of sale, the Company estimated that the earn-out payments would be received in full over the four next years (no payment due for first 8 months May to December 2017) and as such, recorded an initial receivable of $3,777,658 for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of the remaining monthly earn-out payments (28 months as of December 31, 2018), using an interest rate of 13.5%. Future changes in the estimate of the payout obligation are recorded as a gain or charge to current period earnings.

 

4.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – NET

Accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. Accounts receivable are recorded on the date the diagnostic procedure is performed. At March 31, 2019, in the opinion of management, all accounts were considered collectible. At March 31, 2019, accounts receivable (including the noncurrent portion) were $5,551,042.

Collections on certain receivables contractually depend on when and if the patient’s case is settled, which generally exceeds one year, and as a result, management has classified approximately 28% of receivables at March 31, 2019 as noncurrent.

 

5.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows:

 

     03/31/19     12/31/2018  

Note payable to a financial institution, monthly payments of $16,597 including interest accruing monthly on the unpaid principal balance at 4.00%, matures February 6, 2022 collateralized by substantially all assets of SFL.

   $ 532,904     $ 576,938  

Note payable to a financial institution, monthly payments of $13,378 including interest accruing monthly on the unpaid Principal balance at 4.00%, matures May 10, 2022, collateralized by substantially all assets of SFL.

   $ 458,122     $ 493,642  

Note payable to a financial institution, monthly payments of $22,958 including interest accruing monthly on the unpaid principal balance at 5.59% (swap rate), matures November 26, 2023, collateralized by substantially all assets of SFL.

6.

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against the risk of interest rate increases on the related variable rate debt. The derivative financial instrument is not held for trading purposes and the cash flow effects of the swap arrangement will be included in interest expense as it occurs.

The hedging contract is classified as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, is adjusted to current market value until the underlying transactions are recognized. The Company has determined fair value through the application of FASB 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, using quoted market prices within active markets for similar liabilities (Level 2 inputs). Accordingly, the fair value of $26,174 as of December 31, 2018 (initial year of agreement) is recorded as other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. For cash flow purposes, change in fair value loss on the interest rate swap agreement is considered a noncash transaction. There was no changes to fair value for the period ended March 31, 2019.

Because of potential interest rate fluctuations, the Company has exposure to future gains or losses upon ultimate settlement. Management believes that the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty is remote.

 

7.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shared Services Agreement

The Company has a Shared Services Agreement with a related party entity whose Chief Executive Officer is also a managing member of the Company. This agreement, also effective May 1, 2018, subcontracts all of the Company’s responsibilities under the ASA with the related party entity that acquired FCI in May 2017. Fees paid to the related party entity are $170,000 per month. Fees recorded as expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $510,000 and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Accounts Receivable – Related Parties

The Company periodically advances funds to entities owned by members of the Company for the purpose of funding the purchase of receivables by one entity from Elite and general working capital needs of another entity. Amounts outstanding from these related parties as of December 31, 2018 were $170,065.

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financials”) of Akumin Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only, to show the effect of the acquisitions of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the “ADG Acquisitions”), as described in Note 2. The Pro Forma Financials have been prepared as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2018 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. These Pro Forma Financials do not include a pro forma balance sheet as the most recent interim financial statements of the Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 include the ADG Acquisitions.

The Pro Forma Financials have been prepared based on the following statements and information:

 

  a)

Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019;

 

  b)

Audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018;

 

  c)

Audited consolidated financial statements of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2018;

 

  d)

  e)

Audited consolidated financial statements of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC and Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2018;

 

  f)

Unaudited consolidated financial statements of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc. for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019;

 

  g)

Unaudited consolidated financial statements of TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019; and

 

  h)

Unaudited consolidated financial statements of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC and Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of ADG Acquisitions to conform to the presentation used in the Pro Forma Financials.

The Pro Forma Financials do not reflect future events that may occur after the transaction, including, but not limited to, new revenue generating opportunities, synergies resulting in cost savings, or cost of integration. The Pro Forma Financials are not intended to fully reflect the results of the operations or the financial position that would have resulted had the ADG Acquisitions been effected on the dates indicated, or the results that may be obtained in the future. It is recommended that the Pro Forma Financials be read along with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and ADG Acquisitions.

The Pro Forma Financials are presented in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

2. Description of the Transaction

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers (Florida-21 and Georgia-6) operated under Advanced Diagnostic Group (“ADG”), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the ADG Acquisitions.


Akumin Inc.

Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019

(unaudited) (in US Dollars)

 

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million, of which, $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the new loans issued by the Company in connection with the ADG Acquisitions. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs.

The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination in the Pro Forma Financials in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The purchase price consideration paid on May 31, 2019 has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of net assets acquired effective May 31, 2019, and is reflected in Akumin’s statement of financial position as at June 30, 2019 based on management’s best estimates and considers all available information up to the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be finalized once management has gathered and reviewed all relevant information. The final allocation of the purchase price consideration between net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill may differ from the preliminary estimates and these changes may be material. Estimated transaction costs (excluding the capitalized debt issuance costs) have been expensed as incurred for purposes of these Pro Forma Financials.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied in these Pro Forma Financials are in accordance with IFRS as described in the Company’s December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements, except for the changes to the accounting policies as described in note 3 of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The financial statements of ADG Acquisitions are prepared under US GAAP. The Company has reviewed these financial statements with respect to any adjustments for presentation under IFRS. The Company has adjusted the financial statements of ADG Acquisitions for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 for IFRS 16, Leases.

4. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

 

a)

To record the estimated cumulative transaction costs (in the income statement) incurred by the Company associated with the ADG Acquisitions of $1,699,010 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and a recovery of $377,565 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

 

b)

The debt of the ADG Acquisitions was not assumed by the Company and thus related interest expense of $10,712,941 and $2,455,872 have been removed, for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

 

c)

To record incremental interest expense attributable to new incremental debt in connection with the ADG Acquisitions (face value $320,400,000). Accordingly, an additional $23,485,650 and $5,476,759 in interest expense has been reflected for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

 

d)

To record incremental commitment fees on undrawn new revolving line of credit in connection with the ADG Acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 of $165,144 and $37,470, respectively.

 

e)

The factoring of accounts receivable as described in note 4 of the consolidated financial statements of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC and Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC will not continue under the Company’s ownership, and therefore, an adjustment has been made to remove the loss on sale of accounts receivable.

 

f)

To record the estimated income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments using the Company’s estimated effective tax rate of 24.3%, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates. Only net tax expense is noted in pro forma financial statements (if any).

 

g)

To record a loss on debt revaluation of $1,843,262 upon settlement of the Company’s Syndicated Loan pro forma the ADG Acquisitions (amortized cost increased to face value).

 

h)

To record a loss on debt revaluation of $6,830 upon settlement of the principal balance outstanding of the Company’s subordinated notes payable pro forma the ADG Acquisitions (amortized cost increased to face value).

 

i)

To eliminate puttable warrant expense of $270,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as these instruments were settled upon ADG Acquisitions.

 

j)

To eliminate change in fair value of contingent consideration expense of $574,659 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as these instruments were settled upon ADG Acquisitions.

 

k)

To eliminate employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) transaction fees and costs of $106,277 and $29,352 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, respectively, as the ESOP ownership structure was terminated upon ADG Acquisitions.

 

l)

To eliminate amortization expense of $480,000 and $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, respectively, for the lease right intangible asset as the Company has not recognized this asset upon the ADG Acquisitions. During 2015, ADG acquired the lease rights

  to open a new imaging center in Palm Beach, Florida in exchange for seller short term financing of $7,200,000. Under the related asset purchase agreement, no other assets were acquired or liabilities were assumed, and ADG had recorded the entire purchase price as an intangible asset. ADG leased this location in 2015.

 

m)

To eliminate the management fee expense of $150,000 and $37,500 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, respectively, paid to a related party of ADG. These management fees will not continue under the Company’s ownership.

 

n)

To reflect the portion of purchase consideration for the ADG Acquisitions paid in shares of the Company. The Company issued 6.25 million common shares of the Company to the sellers of the ADG Acquisitions, valued at $3.75 per share as of close of May 31, 2019, the date of the ADG Acquisitions, for total share consideration of $23,437,500.

 

o)

The Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases, effective January 1, 2019. An adjustment is reflected in the financial statements of the ADG Acquisitions for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 to reflect the estimated reduction in facility rent expense of $487,424 and equipment operating lease expense of $17,117, and increase in depreciation expense of $423,557 and interest expense of $321,505 related to assumed right of use assets and lease liabilities of $16,626,110.

 

p)

The consolidated financial statements of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC and Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC are prepared as those of a partnership. Hence, its pre-tax income is taxed at the Company’s estimated effective tax rate of 24.3%, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates.

 

q)

The consolidated financial statements of TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC are prepared as those of a partnership. Hence, its pre-tax income is taxed at the Company’s estimated effective tax rate of 24.3%, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates.

 

r)

To eliminate amortization of debt issuance costs of $3,769 for the year ended December 31, 2018 in the consolidated financial statements of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC and Elite Radiology of Georgia, LLC.

 

s)

To eliminate amortization of intangible assets of $1,035,065 and $258,766 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements of TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC.

Notice to Reader

Re: Akumin Inc.

Please be advised that the audited consolidated financial statements of Akumin Inc. as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were corrected for an error relating to the classification of cash flows.

As described in note 13, during 2018 the Company acquired all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres. Previously, the “Acquisition of non-controlling interests” line was incorrectly presented under the Investing activities category instead of the Financing activities category within the consolidated statements of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The error did not impact the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or changes in equity. Operating cash flow and increase in cash during the period were not impacted. Basic and diluted earnings per share were not impacted.

Independent auditor’s report

To the Shareholders of Akumin Inc.

 

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Akumin Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS).

What we have audited

The Company’s consolidated financial statements comprise:

· the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2018 and 2017;
· the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2017;
· the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2017;
· the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2017; and
· the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.

 

 

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

 

 

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which explains that the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been restated from those on which we originally reported on March 28, 2019. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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.
( 2 )
 

(LOGO) 

 

· 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.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
· Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
· Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Jennifer Psutka.

1 Presentation of consolidated financial statements and nature of operations

The operations of Akumin Inc. (Akumin or the Company) and its Subsidiaries (defined below) primarily consist of operating outpatient diagnostic imaging centres located in Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois and Kansas. Substantially all of the centres operated by Akumin were obtained through acquisition. Related to its imaging centre operations, Akumin also operates a medical equipment business, SyncMed, LLC, which provides maintenance services to Akumin’s imaging centres in Texas, Illinois and Kansas and a billing and revenue cycle management business, Rev Flo, Inc., whose operations were merged into Akumin’s wholly owned subsidiary, Akumin Corp. on December 31, 2018.

The services offered by the Company (through the Subsidiaries) include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, digital radiography (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures.

The Company has a diverse mix of payers, including private, managed care capitated and government payers.

The registered and head office of Akumin is located at 151 Bloor Street West, Suite 603, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1S4. All operating activities are conducted through its wholly owned US subsidiary, Akumin Holdings Corp. and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Akumin Holdings Corp., namely, Akumin Corp., Akumin Florida Holdings, LLC, formerly known as Tri-State Imaging FL Holdings, LLC (FL Holdings), Akumin Imaging Texas, LLC, formerly known as Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC (PMI), SyncMed and Akumin FL, LLC (Akumin FL) (collectively, the Subsidiaries), all of which are located in the United States.

 

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal period.

During September 2017, the Company changed its reporting year-end from September 30 to December 31. As a result, during the transitional year, the consolidated financial statements were presented for the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2017.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) and authorized for issue by the Board on November 13, 2019.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Functional and reporting currency and foreign currency translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Subsidiaries is US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the dates of acquisition. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the month the transaction occurred. All exchange gains and losses are recognized in the current year’s earnings.

 

Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and cash held with banks.

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the declining balance method, unless stated otherwise, as follows:

Medical equipment and equipment under finance leases 20%
Computer and office equipment 30%
Furniture and fittings 15%
Leasehold improvements straight-line over
  term of lease

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Operating lease buyouts and significant upgrades are capitalized.

Intangible assets

The Company classifies intangible assets, obtained through acquisitions or developed internally, as definite lived. Intangible assets consist of software costs, trade name and covenants not to compete; these intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the declining balance method, unless stated otherwise, as follows:

Software costs and trade name 20%
Covenant not to compete straight-line over
  term of contract
   

The Company reviews the appropriateness of the amortization period related to the definite lived intangible assets annually.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as the fair value of the consideration transferred, less the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is allocated to groups of cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The determination of CGUs and the level at which goodwill is monitored requires judgment by management. The Company’s CGUs generally represent individual business units below the level of the Company’s operating segment. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as at October 1 by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs against the recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell).

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that a long-lived asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other CGUs. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use.

Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs to sell. Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset and income tax expense.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or CGU exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), as at January 1, 2018, with full retrospective application. Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies.

Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third party payers. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when services are rendered to the patient. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. A provision for credit losses is also recorded in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company. There was no material impact to other revenue as a result of adopting IFRS 15.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. It requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those goods or services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps:

i) identify the contract with a customer;
ii) identify the performance obligation in the contract;
iii) determine the transaction price;
iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The principal change affecting the Company results from the presentation of variable consideration that under the accounting standard is included in the transaction price up to an amount that is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The most common form of variable consideration the Company experiences relates to amounts for services provided that are ultimately not realizable from a payer. Under the previous standard, the Company’s estimate for unrealized amounts was recorded in expenses as a provision for credit losses. Under IFRS 15, the Company’s estimate for unrealizable amounts is recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price at the inception of the contract. The net impact of adoption of IFRS 15 for the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 is a reduction in service fee revenue of $5,272,485 and a corresponding reduction in operating expenses of $5,272,485 with no impact to net income. Due to the nature of these adjustments, there was no impact to the opening retained earnings, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in equity or consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company has elected to use the following practical expedients in adopting IFRS 15:

i) the amount of consideration over the contract term has not been adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, since at contract inception, the period between when the Company transfers a promised service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will generally be one year or less; and
ii) incremental costs associated with obtaining a contract are recognized as an expense when incurred because the amortization period of the asset that the Company would have otherwise recognized is generally one year or less.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the net earnings available to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive instruments.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Current income tax expense represents the amount of income taxes payable based on tax law that is enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and is adjusted for changes in estimates of tax expense recognized in prior periods. A current tax liability or asset is recognized for income taxes payable, or paid but recoverable, in respect of all periods to date.

The Company uses the deferred tax method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements’ carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the enactment or substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be available to utilize such amounts. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Financial instruments

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), retrospectively and has chosen to not restate comparative information in accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9. IFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities. It establishes three measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. A new expected credit losses model replaces the incurred loss impairment model previously used in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39).

The classification of financial liabilities under IFRS 9 remains broadly the same as under IAS 39. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

The Company completed an assessment of its financial assets (cash, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments) and financial liabilities (accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans and finance leases) as at January 1, 2018. All financial assets or liabilities were classified at amortized cost under IAS 39 and IFRS 9, except for derivative financial instruments, which were classified at FVTPL under IAS 39 and IFRS 9. There has been no significant impact for the Company from the adoption of IFRS 9 on the carrying amounts of financial assets or liabilities as at January 1, 2018. Also, there was no material impact from the transition to IFRS 9 on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

a) Measurement of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently are carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Derivative financial instruments and earn-outs are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value.

 

b) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model in IAS 39 with an expected credit loss (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments measured at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are generally recognized earlier than under IAS 39. On adoption of IFRS 9, the financial assets of the Company measured at amortized cost consisted of cash, accounts receivable and loans to related parties.

Under IFRS 9, expected credit losses are measured as follows:

· twelve-month ECL – ECLs that result from possible default events within twelve months after the reporting date; and
· lifetime ECLs – ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company measures provision for credit losses at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured based on twelve-month ECLs:

· cash and loans to related parties for which the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

In applying the IFRS 9 impairment requirements, the Company has applied the general approach for cash and loans to related parties, while the Company has elected to measure provision for credit losses for accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs using the simplified approach.

In order to assess whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes information based on the Company’s historical experience and other forward-looking information. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

c) Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of provision for credit losses. Provision for credit losses is measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows the Company expects to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset; however, due to the short-term nature of most of the Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost, the time value of money is not expected to be significant in the calculation of the ECL.

d) Impact of the new impairment model

The Company has determined that the application of IFRS 9’s impairment requirements as at January 1, 2018 does not result in a significant change in the provision for credit losses recognized by the Company. For accounts receivable, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine the ECLs based on actual credit loss experience with consideration of forward-looking information including changes to economic conditions that would impact its customers.

The Company applied the general approach for loans to related parties, considering any significant increases in credit risk for such receivables since inception. In determining the ECLs for such receivables, the Company considered actual credit loss experience with consideration of forward-looking information including changes to economic conditions that would impact the payers.

Leases

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a finance lease.

Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property as at the inception date or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Warrants

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company has issued warrants that are convertible into common stock; these warrants are classified as equity instruments.

Restricted share units

Restricted share units (RSUs) are issued in accordance with the Company’s RSU Plan, which entitles a holder of one RSU to receive one common share of the Company. RSUs are assigned a value based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board (note 13). For RSUs awarded to non-employees for equity issuance services, the value of the RSUs is classified as equity issuance costs on vesting of such RSUs. For RSUs awarded to non-employees for business services, the RSU expense would be recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) on vesting of such RSUs.

Stock-based compensation

The Company’s primary type of stock-based compensation consists of stock options, which are described in note 16. The Company uses the fair value method, which includes a volatility assumption, based on a peer group of companies. Each tranche of a share option award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and recorded at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest by increasing contributed surplus. Any consideration paid by employees or directors on the exercise of stock options is credited to common stock and the related fair value of those stock options is transferred from the contributed surplus to common stock.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition accounting method. The total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values as at the date of acquisition. Goodwill as at the acquisition date is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired company over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Any non-controlling interests in the acquired company are measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business. Best estimates and assumptions are used in the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. On conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

Changes in non-controlling interests

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a reserve within equity attributable to owners of Akumin.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured based on management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to their present value where the effect is material.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of uncertain future events outside the Company’s control, or present obligations that are not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits would be required to settle the obligation or the amount cannot be measured reliably.

( 16 )
 

Akumin Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed and described in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, including an estimate of their potential financial effect and uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow, unless the possibility of settlement is remote. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, with assistance from its legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

i) Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable. During the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017, the impairment for accounts receivable was recorded when there was an expectation that the Company would not be able to collect all amounts due of the receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

 

ii) Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets

Management tests at least annually or more frequently if there are events or changes in circumstances to assess whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount from CGUs or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

iii) Income taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

iv) Business combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

v) Contractual allowances

 

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government sponsored health-care programs and insurance companies for such services.

Correction of error in statement of cash flows

Our consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been restated to classify the cash flows associated with the acquisition of non-controlling interests as a financing cash flow. Previously, management had incorrectly presented such cash flows as an investing activity. The nature of the transaction which gave rise to these cash flows is described in note 13. Furthermore, this adjustment does not affect our previously reported consolidated balance sheet, statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) or the statement of changes in equity.

3 Business combinations
a) On April 5, 2018, the Company announced that, through a subsidiary, it had entered into a management agreement with the owners of four centres located in one of Akumin’s core geographic markets (the Managed Centres, and the period from April 5 to May 11, 2018, the Management Period). On May 11, 2018, the Company announced it had acquired, through a subsidiary (Akumin FL), certain assets of the Managed Centres in Florida (the Tampa Acquisition). The sellers were paid cash consideration of $50,000. The Company also assumed certain priority ranked accounts payable of $1,553,290 (including $727,826 related to working capital loans advanced from the Company to the Managed Centres during the Management Period) and a 6% third party subordinated note with a principal balance of $1.5 million (face value) and a term of four years. The principal balance of the third party loan is subject to an earn-out of up to an additional $4.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones (note 12). The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of the Tampa Acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, the Tampa Acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $5.1 million and net income before tax of approximately $0.8 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018, this business combination would have contributed approximately $8.0 million in revenue and $1.2 million in income before tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $157.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

b) On August 15, 2018, the Company announced that, through a subsidiary, it had acquired 11 outpatient diagnostic imaging centres in the Tampa Bay Area (the Rose Acquisition) for a cash consideration of approximately $24.6 million, which was financed through the Syndicated Term Loan (note 10). The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows. The intangible assets consist of the trade name and covenants not to compete. The fair value of the accounts receivable is approximately $1.3 million and it is net of expected credit losses of approximately 4%. Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition the Company, in accordance with the purchase agreement, prepared a working capital statement as of the closing date and determined a working capital asset of $323,983 due to the Company.

      130,539,869       100,777,451  

 

The recoverable amount from CGUs was estimated based on an assessment of value-in-use. The methodology used to test impairment is classified as Level 3 per the fair value hierarchy described in note 17.

The value in use for a CGU or group of CGUs is determined by discounting five-year cash flow projections (cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using perpetuity growth rates). These projections reflect management’s expectations based on past experience and future estimates of operating performance. The discount rates are applied to the cash flow projections and are derived from the weighted average cost of capital for each CGU or group of CGUs.

In measuring the recoverable amounts for goodwill as at December 31, 2018, significant estimates include the perpetuity growth rates and weighted average cost of capital discount rates, which range from 1.5% to 2.5% and 8.0% to 9.0% (2017 – 1.5% to 2.5% and 8.0% to 9.0%), respectively. Our discount rates are based on market rates of return, debt to equity ratios, and certain risk premiums, among other things. The perpetuity growth rates are based on expected economic conditions and a general outlook for the industry.

An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. No impairment charges have arisen as a result of the reviews performed as at October 1, 2018. Reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of goodwill to fall below the carrying value. As there were no indicators of impairment for any of the CGUs, management has not updated any of the other impairment calculations as at December 31, 2018.

The Syndicated Loans, Siemens & Compass (S&C) Loans and WSFS Note noted herein are collectively referred to as the Bank Loans. The Bank Loans and Wesley Chapel Loan (note 11) are collectively referred to as the Senior Loans.

i) Syndicated Loans

 

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the Syndicated Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (Syndicated Term Loan) of $100,000,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000, of which $11,900,000 was utilized as at December 31, 2018 (the Syndicated Revolving Facility, and together with the Syndicated Term Loan, the Syndicated Loans). The Syndicated Loans can be increased by an additional $40,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900,000 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition (described in note 3). The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the S&C Loans for $74,634,848, finance the Rose Acquisition (note 3) and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. The fair value of the Syndicated Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17).

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, Akumin FL entered into a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Lender, respectively) with a face value of $1,500,000 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17). According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount annually on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (Subordinated Note – Earn-out) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 (the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period), subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue based milestones, as follows:

a) The Subordinated Note – Earn-out for any given calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be equal to 50% of any positive difference calculated by subtracting the Base Revenue ($16,000,000) for such calendar year from the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue (defined below) for such calendar year.
b) The Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be the gross revenue generated by the centres related to the Tampa Acquisition during such calendar year.
c) If Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is less than or equal to $16,000,000, no Subordinated Note – Earn-out shall be payable for such calendar year.
d) The maximum aggregate amount of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out that may be earned over the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is $4,000,000.

The value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out has been estimated by management using a probability weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management estimated the fair value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $160,790 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17). The Subordinated Note – Earn-out was revalued at $169,642 as at December 31, 2018 and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at December 31, 2018, the range of estimated undiscounted Subordinated Note – Earn-out payable is between $nil and $218,183.

During the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

a) During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued $10.5 million in common shares and warrants and incurred issuance costs of approximately $1.1 million. This equity issuance included 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expire on March 10 and 17, 2019. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $0.996 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of 80%; remaining life of two years; price per common share on grant of warrants of $2.30; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk-free interest rate of 0.84%.
b) During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:
i) In order to partly finance the Texas Acquisition, the Company undertook: (i) a subscription receipts offering, which generated gross proceeds of approximately $33 million (9,407,223 special warrants were issued on the automatic conversion of 9,407,223 subscription receipts into special warrants in accordance with the subscription receipt agreement; a total of 512,004 broker warrants were issued to the agents in connection therewith); and (ii) $20 million in equity was issued (5,714,285 common shares at $3.50 per share) to certain sellers in connection with the Texas Acquisition. Each special warrant was exercised to acquire one common share on December 1, 2017.

Special warrants were issued on automatic conversion of such subscription receipts in accordance with the subscription receipts agreement. Such special warrants were classified as part of the Company’s equity. They were converted into common shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the agreement in December 2017. On conversion into common shares, the amount of special warrants was transferred to the common share account of the Company’s equity. The associated broker warrants issued as part of the subscription receipts offering are assigned an estimated value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and netted against the value of special warrants. They are transferred to common shares on exercise of such broker warrants.

Each of the 512,004 broker warrants is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company, at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share, until August 8, 2019. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.523 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of 80%; remaining life of two years; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk-free interest rate of 1.24%.

The Company incurred equity issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million in connection with this offering.

ii) On August 9, 2017, the Company issued 500,000 restricted stock units to an agent that has worked with the Company with respect to its private placement offerings and 500,000 restricted stock units to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, each pursuant to a restricted share unit plan adopted by the Company on March 8, 2017 and approved at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on March 20, 2017. On August 9, 2017, the total of 1,000,000 restricted share units vested and were exercised in accordance with the restricted share unit plan on the Texas Acquisition, resulting in the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares. The value of 500,000 RSUs ($1,750,000) awarded to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was classified as stock-based compensation cost during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The value of the 500,000 RSUs ($1,750,000) awarded to the agent was classified as equity issuance cost on vesting of these RSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
iii) The Company had 1,360,000 warrants expiring on August 12, 2017, that allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $0.50 per common share. These warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.
c) During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:
i) The Company issued another tranche of 533,550 special warrants on November 15, 2017 for gross proceeds of $1,867,425, along with 32,013 broker warrants. Each special warrant was exercised to acquire one common share on December 1, 2017. Also, each broker warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company, at an exercise price of $3.50 per broker warrant until November 15, 2019. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.527 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of 80%; remaining life of two years; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk-free interest rate of 1.44%.
ii) On November 14, 2017, the Board authorized issuance of 1,841,316 RSUs to certain employees of the Company and the Board. 1,611,316 of these RSUs were granted on November 15, 2017 and 230,000 RSUs were granted on January 1, 2018. Each granted RSU entitles the holder to one common share of the Company. These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are assigned a value based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board. The RSUs granted on November 15, 2017 were assigned a value of $3.50 per RSU. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for these RSUs of $469,967.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

a) During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

As previously noted, 230,000 RSUs were granted to certain employees of the Company on January 1, 2018. Subsequently, on March 1, 2018, the Board authorized issuance of 35,000 RSUs on March 1, 2018 and 50,000 RSUs on March 12, 2018 to certain employees of the Company. Each granted RSU entitles the holder to one common share of the Company. These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board.

b) During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:
i) The Company had 238,859 warrants that were due to expire on April 21, 2018 and 112,706 warrants that were due to expire on May 31, 2018. These warrants allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share of the Company. These warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.
ii) On May 2, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal offering of its common shares by way of short form prospectus sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. A total of 8,750,000 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $4.00 per common share, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000 (the Offering). The related issuance costs were approximately $1.8 million, which were deducted from common equity. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters (the Underwriters). The Underwriters were granted 525,000 broker warrants (Broker Warrants) in connection with the Offering, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per common share for a 24-month period following the closing of the Offering. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.3988 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of approximately 62%; remaining life of two years; price per common share on grant of warrants of $4.00; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk free interest rate of 1.93%.
iii) On May 24, 2018, the Company announced that PMI completed its previously announced acquisitions of all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres (the Acquisitions). The Acquisitions related to certain operations carried on in Austin, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grapevine/Colleyville, Irving, Plano and Round Rock. The aggregate consideration paid for the Acquisitions was approximately $21.6 million, comprised of an aggregate cash payment of approximately $17.9 million and the issuance of approximately $3.7 million in common shares of the Company (927,397 shares at $4.00 per share). The cash consideration included approximately $0.2 million paid to a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Imaging of Tarrant County, LLC, that was consolidated in the Company’s results.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 was -43.95% (2017 – (1.47%)). The tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in the United States and the relative amounts of income earned in this jurisdiction, which management expects to be fairly consistent in the near term. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between the statutory rate of 26.5% (2017 – 26.5%) and the effective tax rate for 2018:

i) a $4,591,823 (-132.20%) (2017 – $995,303 (-11.88%)) decrease resulting from the unrecognized tax benefit;
ii) a $1,511,135 (43.51%) (2017 – $859,189 (-10.25%)) increase resulting from the stock-based
compensation (note 16); and
iii) a $220,389 (-6.35%) (2017 – $412,995 (4.93%)) decrease resulting from tax rate differences between Canada and the United States.
b) Deferred tax assets/liabilities

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax asset are as follows:

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Based on management’s assessment of the future profitability of the Company, as at December 31, 2018, an unrecognized tax benefit of $1,796,113 (2017 – $4,150,218) has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced or increased.

c) Tax losses

 

The Company has operating loss carry-forwards of $24,436,645 (2017 – $13,892,891), which begin to expire in 2035. Of these loss-carryforwards, the 2018 addition of $8,486,271 does not expire, but is subject to utilization restrictions.

15 Commitments and contingencies

The Company is involved in certain legal matters arising from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company records provisions that reflect management’s best estimate of any potential liability relating to these matters. The resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company’s future obligations for minimum annual payments under operating leases for equipment and facilities for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

      3,241,846       160,486,798       163,728,644  

 

The Company’s operating leases are primarily for its outpatient diagnostic imaging centres and have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. The lease terms range from one to twenty-five years. Rent expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $11.3 million (fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 – $9.4 million).

16 Stock-based compensation options

The Company operates an equity-settled, stock options based payment compensation plan, under which the Company pays equity instruments of the Company as consideration in exchange for employee services. The plan is open to directors and certain employees of the Company. The fair value of the grant of options is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the service vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the Company’s option plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company) is 10% of the aggregate number of common shares which are outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2018, this represented 6,237,127 (December 31, 2017 – 5,141,632) common shares.

The Company commenced granting stock options on March 15, 2016, with an initial grant of 2,025,268 options to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis, which represented 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Company as at September 30, 2015. The exercise price for these options was $0.50 per share. These options will vest over a three-year period from the date of issue (34%, 33%, and 33% per year, respectively). The options have an expiry date ten years from the date of issue. The Company granted no stock options during 2017.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company granted 2,188,000 stock options on November 16, 2018, to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis with an exercise price of $3.74 per share. The aggregate fair value of the stock options granted during 2018 was determined to be $3,211,765 (2017 – $nil). These options will vest over a three-year period from the date of issue (34%, 33% and 33% per year, respectively) and have an expiry date of seven years from the date of issue.

The weighted average contractual life of the outstanding options as at December 31, 2018 was 7.04 years (December 31, 2017 – 8.21 years). The total number of stock options exercisable as at December 31, 2018 was 1,356,929 (December 31, 2017 – 688,591). The total fair value of stock options that vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was $706,866 (fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 – $728,287).

The fair value of the stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was estimated to be $1.4679 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of 33%; remaining life of seven years; expected dividend yield of nil; and an annual risk free interest rate of 2.33%. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a total stock-based options compensation expense of approximately $681,412 (fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 – $1,022,257). The total compensation cost related to unvested options awards not yet recognized is approximately $2,936,556 (fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 – $406,203) and will be recognized over a remaining vesting period of 2.88 years (fifteen months ended December 31, 2017 –

1.21 years).

17 Risk management arising from financial instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to risks that can affect its operating performance. These risks, and the actions taken to manage them, are as follows:

The carrying value of the non-current portion of finance leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current assets and liabilities were as follows:

    2018
$
    2017
$
 
                 
Loans to related parties     495,000        
                 
Bank Loans payable     110,244,000       75,025,000  
Wesley Chapel Loan payable     1,823,000        
Subordinated notes payable     1,476,000             
Subordinated notes – earn-out     169,642        
Derivative financial instruments     (16,014 )     (21,619 )
                 
      113,696,628       75,003,381  

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

· Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. For securities, the valuations are based on quoted prices of the securities that are readily and regularly available in an active market, and accordingly, a significant degree of judgment is not required. As at December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities subsequently measured at fair value under the Level 1 category.

· Level 2

Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the liabilities that are recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, are determined using Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices. As at December 31, 2018, the derivative financial instruments were measured at fair value under the Level 2 category on recognition. The derivative financial instruments are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 2 category.

· Level 3

 

Pricing inputs are generally unobservable for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using model based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The loans to related parties, the Syndicated Loans, S&C Loans, WSFS Note, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes and Subordinated Notes – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out is subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category. The key inputs used to determine fair value for the loans include market rates of interest and for earnouts, discounted cash flows.

There were no significant transfers between levels during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the potential a counterparty will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from customers. The Company grants credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers but the concentration of the risk is minimized because of the large customer base and its dispersion across different payers. During the year, the Company may have deposits with financial institutions that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $19,326,412 (2017 – $12,145,481) and accounts receivable of $29,810,501 (2017 – $12,968,010). Collectibility of the receivables is reviewed regularly and an allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses is established as necessary. Current economic conditions and historical collection experience are considered when determining whether to make an allowance. The same factors are considered when determining whether to write off amounts charged to the allowance for credit losses. The aging of these receivables, net of allowances, is as follows:

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company may encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its financial commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk mainly with respect to the Bank Loans. The Company ensures there is sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts with financial institutions to hedge the value of foreign currency denominated assets. Gains and losses arising from these contracts offset the losses and gains from the underlying hedged transactions. As at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts that would expose the Company to currency risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Changes in lending rates can cause fluctuations in interest payments and cash flows. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to alter the effects of this risk, except as noted below. The Company is partly financed through bank loans, which bear interest at rates tied to the one-month LIBOR.

As noted in note 10, effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of $50,000,000, representing 50% of the face value of the $100,000,000 Syndicated Term Loan.

Variable interest rates on the Company’s debts are as follows:

20 New accounting standards

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB released IFRS 16, Leases, replacing IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations. The new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases and requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is twelve months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Application of the standard is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The IFRS 16 transition requirements provide the option of adopting a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients available. The Company has performed preliminary analysis as part of its assessment of IFRS 16 transition approaches, and intends to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis. The Company continues to finalize its approach on the use of the optional practical expedients.

The Company expects the adoption of IFRS 16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, given its current operating lease commitments (note 15). New assets and liabilities will be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets for the Company’s operating leases. On the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), the Company will replace the current lease expense with depreciation for right-of-use assets and finance expense on lease liabilities. There will be no change to the amount of cash flows as part of the underlying leases.

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2019. The interpretations provide guidance on how to value uncertain income tax positions based on the probability of whether the relevant tax authorities will accept the Company’s tax treatments. A company is to assume that a taxation authority with the right to examine any amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and will have full knowledge of all relevant information when doing so. IFRIC 23 is to be applied by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying these guidelines in opening retained earnings without adjusting comparative information. The Company believes that it is reasonable that there are no uncertain tax positions required to be reported on IRS Form UTP, Uncertain Tax Positions Statement, on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact and application of this standard. (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

24 Subsequent events
a) During March 2017, the Company issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expired on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

b) As previously noted, the Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. While 50% of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, only 25,000 of these vested RSUs have currently been exercised. Accordingly, 25,000 common shares were issued by the Company on March 18, 2019. The remaining 132,500 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to June 30, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, 50% of the above-noted 315,000 RSUs will vest between January 1 and March 12, 2020. Twenty-five thousand RSUs from these unvested RSUs were settled for common shares on October 1, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

c) During August 2017, the Company issued 512,004 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share. The expiry date for these warrants was August 8, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 256,002 of these warrants were exercised into common shares.

 

d) On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets used in connection with a single imaging centre located in Davie, Florida (Davie Acquisition) from the former operators of such centre for a purchase price of $450,000.

 

e) On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under ADG, The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the ADG Acquisitions).

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million, of which $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the Term Loans (defined below). A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs.


In connection with the ADG Acquisitions, on May 31, 2019, the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (Term Loan A, Term Loan B and collectively, the Term Loans) of $66,000,000 and $266,000,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000,000, of which $3,300,000 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the May 2019 Revolving Facility, and together with the Term Loans, the May 2019 Loans). $16 million of the Term Loan A is subject to a delayed draw and is available to the Company for use in potential acquisitions until October 15, 2019. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482,181, the principal outstanding under the Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596,250, partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs.

As described in “Recent Developments – Correction of Error in the Statement of Cash Flows” in Management’s Discussion & Analysis as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018, during 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres. Previously the “Acquisition of non-controlling interests” line was incorrectly presented under the Investing activities category instead of the Financing activities category within the consolidated statements of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The error did not impact the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or changes in equity. Operating cash flow and increase in cash during the period were not impacted. Basic and diluted earnings per share were not impacted.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (restated)

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated November 13, 2019 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

The following MD&A has been restated to be consistent with amendments to Akumin’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 which is more fully described in Note 2 to the Company’s restated consolidated financial statements. The statement of cash flows has been restated to classify the cash flows associated with the acquisition of non-controlling interests as a financing cash flow. Previously, management had incorrectly presented such cash flows as an investing activity. The nature of the transaction which gave rise to these cash flows is described in Note 13. Furthermore, this adjustment does not affect our previously reported consolidated balance sheet, statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) or the statement of changes in equity.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period and one-time adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense, taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

· no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;
· no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;
· no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;
· a stable competitive environment; and
· no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Overview

We are a provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with 95 centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Illinois and Kansas as of December 31, 2018. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), radiology, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, arthrography and other related procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provides close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

 

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

AKUMIN INC    |    Management’s Discussion and Analysis    |    2018    3

 
 

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

Number of Diagnostic Imaging Facilities     95       74       39       14  
                                 

Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

 

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

 

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

AKUMIN INC    |    Management’s Discussion and Analysis    |    2018    4

 
 

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

· Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.
· Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements.

The Company has initially adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as at January 1, 2018, with full retrospective application. Other new standards that are also effective from January 1, 2018 onward include IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRIC 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, but they do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Please refer to note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for further information on the adoption of these new accounting standards. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

Change in Fiscal Year

The Company changed its fiscal year to December 31, effective for the period ending December 31, 2017. As a result, Akumin fiscal 2017 is a 15-month period ending December 31, 2017 while Akumin fiscal 2018 is a 12-month period ended December 31, 2018.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Public Company Expenses

As a public company, we have implemented additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. As such, we expect to incur additional annual expenses, including additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, public company reporting costs, transfer agent fees, additional audit and legal fees, and administrative and other expenses. We have also recognized certain non-recurring costs as part of our transition to a publicly traded company and subsequent public offering costs, consisting of professional fees and other expenses.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 28, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

April 2018 Bought Deal

The Company completed, on May 2, 2018, a “bought deal” public offering of its common shares by way of short form prospectus sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec. A total of 8,750,000 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $4.00 per common share for gross proceeds of $35,000 (the “Offering)”. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”). The Underwriters were granted 525,000 broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) in connection with the Offering, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per common share for a 24-month period following the closing of the Offering.

The Company used part of the net proceeds from the Offering to finance the cash consideration portion of the NCI Acquisitions (defined below) and intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering: (a) to support the Company’s growth initiatives and the acquisitions it pursues from time to time; and (b) for general corporate purposes, including to fund other ordinary course expenses.

Exercise of Certain Outstanding Warrants

Unrelated to the Offering, the Company had 238,859 warrants that were due to expire on April 21, 2018 and 112,706 warrants that were due to expire on May 31, 2018. These warrants allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share of the Company. These warrants were exercised by their holders into common shares prior to expiry.

During March 2017 the Company had issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expire on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares.

NCI Acquisitions

On May 24, 2018, the Company announced the completion of the previously disclosed acquisitions by a subsidiary of the Company of all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas-based diagnostic imaging centers (the “NCI Acquisitions”). The NCI Acquisitions related to certain operations carried on in Austin, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grapevine/Colleyville, Irving, Plano and Round Rock. The aggregate consideration paid for the NCI Acquisitions was approximately $21.6 million, comprised of an aggregate cash payment of approximately $17.9 million and the issuance of approximately $3.7 million of common shares of the Company (927,397 shares at $4.00 per share). The cash consideration includes approximately $0.2 million paid to a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Imaging of Tarrant County, LLC, that is consolidated in the Company’s results.

Tampa Acquisition

On April 5, 2018, the Company announced that, through a subsidiary, it had entered into a management agreement with the owners of four centers located in one of Akumin’s core geographic markets (the “Managed Centers”, and the period from April 5 to May 11, 2018, the “Management Period”). On May 11, 2018, the Company announced that it had acquired, through a subsidiary (“Akumin FL”), certain assets of the Managed Centers in Florida (the “Tampa Acquisition”). The sellers were paid cash consideration of $50. The Company also assumed certain priority-ranked accounts payable of $1,553 and a third-party subordinated note bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum with a principal balance of $1.5 million (face value) and a term of four years. The principal balance of the third-party loan is subject to an earn-out of up to an additional $4.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones (described in note 12 of the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements).

Rose Acquisition

On August 15, 2018, the Company announced that, through a subsidiary, it had acquired 11 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the Tampa Bay Area (the “Rose Acquisition”) for cash consideration of approximately $25 million, which was financed through the Syndicated Term Loan (described in the Lending Arrangements and Debt section).

As part of the Rose Acquisition the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related development for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023 and has monthly repayments of $38.

Kissimmee Acquisition

On November 1, 2018, the Company acquired a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Kissimmee, Florida. The purchase price was approximately $1.2 million. The purchase price due at closing was partly financed using proceeds drawn from the Company’s Syndicated Revolving Facility (described in the Lending Arrangements and Debt section).

Broward Acquisition

On November 9, 2018, the Company acquired four outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in Broward County, Florida. The purchase price was approximately $12.1 million, which included assumed finance leases of approximately $1.3 million. The purchase price due at closing was partly financed using proceeds drawn from the Company’s Syndicated Revolving Facility (described in the Lending Arrangements and Debt section).

Correction of Error in the Statement of Cash Flows

Our consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been restated to classify the cash flows associated with the acquisition of non-controlling interests as a financing cash flow. During 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres. Previously, management had incorrectly presented such cash flows as an investing activity. The nature of the transaction which gave rise to these cash flows is described in Note 13 to the Company’s restated consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, this adjustment does not affect our previously reported consolidated balance sheet, statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) or the statement of changes in equity.

Subsequent Events

a) During March 2017, the Company issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expired on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.
b) The Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. While 50% of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, only 25,000 of these vested RSUs have currently been exercised. Accordingly, 25,000 common shares were issued by the Company on March 18, 2019. The remaining 132,500 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to June 30, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, 50% of the above-noted 315,000 RSUs will vest between January 1 and March 12, 2020. Twenty-five thousand RSUs from these unvested RSUs were settled for common shares on October 1, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.
c) During August 2017, the Company issued 512,004 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share. The expiry date for these warrants was August 8, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 256,002 of these warrants were exercised into common shares.
d) On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets used in connection with a single imaging center located in Davie, Florida (Davie Acquisition) from the former operators of such center for a purchase price of $450.

e) On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under ADG, The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the ADG Acquisitions).

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million, of which $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the Term Loans (defined below). A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs. In connection with the ADG Acquisitions, on May 31, 2019, the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (Term Loan A, Term Loan B and collectively, Term Loans) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which $3,300 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the May 2019 Revolving Facility, and together with the Term Loans, the May 2019 Loans). $16 million of the Term Loan A is subject to a delayed draw and is available to the Company for use in potential acquisitions until October 15, 2019. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under the Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs.

f) On May 31, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Deltona, Florida for a cash consideration of $648 (Deltona Acquisition).
g) Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company settled certain claims affecting PMI relating to periods arising prior to August 9, 2017, the date the Company acquired PMI. The Company received an aggregate of approximately $4.1 million, approximately $2.9 million of which was received after December 31, 2018, from the escrow fund maintained for the sellers of PMI as a result of indemnity claims under the purchase agreement for PMI to fully and finally settle the claims affecting PMI.
h) On August 16, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, five outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in El Paso, Texas for cash consideration of approximately $11 million.
i) On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, three outpatient diagnostic imaging centers near West Palm Beach, Florida.

Revenue. Revenue was $154,782 and $105,473 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 15-month period ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the acquisitions, and higher contribution from the legacy Florida business, partly offset by a 12-month vs.15-month comparative period due to change in the Company’s fiscal year end. In fiscal 2017, the Company acquired: (i) one diagnostic imaging center operating in Hollywood, Florida effective April 1, 2017; (ii) six diagnostic imaging centers operating in and around Orlando, Boca Raton and Coral Springs, Florida effective April 1, 2017; and (iii) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 (such acquisition, the “Texas Acquisition” and all such acquisitions, collectively, the “2017 Acquisitions”). In fiscal 2018, the Company completed the Tampa Acquisition effective May 11, 2018, the Rose Acquisition effective August 15, 2018, the Kissimmee Acquisition effective November 1, 2018 and the Broward Acquisition effective November 9, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Acquisitions”). Excluding the 2017 Acquisitions and the 2018 Acquisitions, revenue was $67,876 and $71,896 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 15-month period ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a 12-month vs.15-month comparative period due to change in the Company’s fiscal year end.

Volume metrics. In fiscal 2018, the Company commenced the reporting of the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the year ended December 31, 2018 were 3,291 (in thousands) (meaningful comparative information is unavailable for the comparable period in fiscal 2017).

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 36% to 37% in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2018 Acquisitions, partly offset by the negative impact from Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Reading fees. For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 15% to 13%. The lower reading fees as a percentage of revenue are partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions, and negative impact from Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Rent and utilities. For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017, rent and utilities decreased from 12% to 11% of revenue. This decrease is partly attributable to timing of the Texas Acquisition, as well as negative impact on revenue from Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Third party services and professional fees. For the year December 31, 2018, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 8% in the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to negative impact on revenue from Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses remained consistent at 10% of revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for year ended December 31, 2018 was $31,775 compared to $16,572 for the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions, increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations, timing of the Texas Acquisition, and negative impact of Hurricane Irma in 2017, partly offset by a 15-month comparative period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 21% compared to 16% for the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $5,000 (3% of revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the net loss for the 15-month period ended December 31, 2017 was $8,504 (8% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to the timing of the above noted acquisitions and income tax recovery in 2018, and higher provisions and acquisition-related and public offering costs in 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a deferred tax liability of $1,755 was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the Rose Acquisition. The Company utilized unrecognized tax benefits against this deferred tax liability, which resulted in an income tax recovery of the same amount.

Revenue. Revenue was $45,452 and $35,238 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the acquisitions. Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions, revenue was $34,039 and $35,239 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This 3% decrease is due to lower contribution from Texas operations related to NCI Acquisitions in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 (which was anticipated by management), and higher contribution from Florida operations in the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 following Hurricane Irma (which management estimates to be an additional revenue of approximately, $2 million). Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions, NCI Acquisitions and the estimated revenue impact following Hurricane Irma in September 2017, management estimates revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 would have increased by approximately 10% relative to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017.

Volume metrics. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 were 1,020 (in thousands) compared to 850 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 (meaningful comparative information is unavailable for the comparable period in fiscal 2017).

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 32% to 42% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily attributed to the Rose Acquisition, which had employed radiologists in 2018, and incentive-based cash compensation paid to management in the three-months ended December 31, 2018 which had previously not been accrued (please refer to “one-time adjustments” noted below).

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 13%.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, rent and utilities increased from 9% to 11% of revenue. The relatively low ratio for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 is partly attributable to relatively strong revenue performance in Texas and northeast and in Florida operations after Hurricane Irma in September 2017.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, third party services and professional fees, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 8% to 6% of revenue compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and reclassification of certain costs as non-operating expenses (please refer to “one-time adjustments” noted below).

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses remained consistent at 9% of revenue.

One-time adjustments. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 the one-time adjustments were $777 compared to $nil during the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. These adjustments related to: (i) the incentive-based cash compensation for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 which had previously not been accrued and was paid to management in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018; and (ii) reclassification of certain third party services and professional fees as non-operating expenses that related to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 but were reclassified in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 was $9,200 compared to $8,272 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions and 2018 Acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 was 20% compared to 23% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017. The higher margin in the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to strong revenue performance in Texas (prior to NCI Acquisitions) and Florida (following Hurricane Irma in September 2017). Also, Akumin has increased its presence in Florida during 2018 through acquisitions that had lower margins than our existing business.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $2,210 (5% of revenue) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 and the net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 was $2,579 (7% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to higher depreciation, interest expense, acquisition-related costs and stock and incentive-based cash compensation paid to management in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, which had previously not been accrued. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, a deferred tax liability of $1,755 was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the Rose Acquisition. The Company utilized unrecognized tax benefits against this deferred tax liability, which resulted in an income tax recovery of the same amount.

Total assets     240,778       170,748  
Total debt (1)     117,507       75,765  
Non-controlling interests     2,467       6,341  
Shareholders’ equity     103,938       74,065  

 

(1) Total debt consists of borrowing under the credit facility, subordinated debt including fair value of contingent consideration, Wesley Chapel Loan, and finance leases, including both the current and non-current portions.

 

Cash was $19,326 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $7,181, as compared to $12,145 as at December 31, 2017. The increase in cash during the year ended December 31, 2018 was due to $6,419 and $45,812 provided by operating activities and financing activities, respectively, partly offset by $45,050 used in investing activities.

Accounts receivable were $29,811 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $16,843, as compared to $12,968 as at December 31, 2017. The increase is mainly due to strong revenue during the year ended December 31, 2018 from existing business and the 2018 Acquisitions.

Property and equipment were $55,568 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $13,565, as compared to $42,003 as at December 31, 2017. This increase is mainly attributable to $10,590 in capital expenditures, $1,719 acquired as part of the Tampa Acquisition, $8,638 acquired as part of the Rose Acquisition, $283 acquired as part of the Kissimmee Acquisition and $2,662 acquired as part of the Broward Acquisition, partly offset by $9,152 in depreciation, losses on disposal of $532, and impairment in property and equipment of $643.

Intangible assets were $3,669 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $1,405, as compared to $2,264 as at December 31, 2017. This increase is attributable to intangible assets of $1,330 due to the Rose Acquisition, $740 due to the Broward Acquisition, and $35 in software expenditures, partly offset by amortization of $700 recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $130,540 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $29,763 as compared to $100,777 as at December 31, 2017. This increase is attributable to the Tampa Acquisition ($1,536), the Rose Acquisition ($17,754), the Kissimmee Acquisition ($1,013) and the Broward Acquisition ($9,460).

Total debt (including finance leases) was $117,507 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $41,742 as compared to $75,765 as at December 31, 2017. This increase is attributable to increased bank loan proceeds ($100,000) under the new Syndicated Loan net of debt issuance costs ($2,212), drawing on the Syndicated Revolving Facility ($11,900), loss on financial instrument revaluation upon settlement of August 2017 Term Loan ($2,427), the subordinated note assumed as part of Tampa Acquisition ($1,491), initial fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) ($161), assumption of Wesley Chapel Loan ($1,908), non-cash interest accretion ($591), and loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($9) and increased finance lease liabilities ($1,586), partly offset by debt principal repayments ($76,119).

The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $103,938 as at December 31, 2018, an increase of $29,873 as compared to $74,065 as at December 31, 2017. This increase is due to an increase in common shares of $36,153 attributable to the April 2018 Bought Deal (net of issuance costs) and the NCI Acquisitions, $699 in warrants exercised, $734 in warrants  issued attributable to April 2018 Bought Deal, increase to contributed surplus of $5,703, and net income of $5,000 earned by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2018, partly offset by $18,416 mainly due to the NCI Acquisitions.

Non-controlling interests were $2,467 as at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $3,874, as compared to $6,341 as at December 31, 2017. The non-controlling interests are associated with the Texas Acquisition. In the year ended December 31, 2018, net income attributable to the non-controlling interests was $2,574, offset by distributions of $3,373 and a reduction of $3,075 mainly due to the NCI Acquisitions.

The table below shows selected financial information on a last twelve-month (“LTM”) basis for the following periods. All of the following periods include contribution from any acquisition made during the period only starting from the date of such acquisition. For example, during the LTM period ended December 31, 2018, the Company made the following acquisitions: Tampa Acquisition (May 11, 2018), NCI Acquisitions (May 24, 2018), Rose Acquisition (August 15, 2018), Kissimmee Acquisition (November 1, 2018) and Broward Acquisition (November 9, 2018). As a result, the LTM period ended December 31, 2018 does not contain a full twelve months contribution from these acquisitions. The Company monitors the following information to measure its overall financial performance.

(1) Adjusted EPS – Diluted is calculated as the sum of the last four quarters’ Adjusted EPS - Diluted.
(2) Adjusted ROC is defined as LTM Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization, taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, divided by average capital.
(3) Adjusted ROE is defined as LTM Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin divided by average shareholders’ equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such debt and equity issuances are noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $19,326.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company had $117,507 of senior loans payable, subordinated note payable, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below), and finance leases.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

As at December 31, 2018, we had various operating leases with remaining terms of more than one year, primarily for office space. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had finance lease balances of $4,177.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company had future obligations for minimum annual payments under debt (face value), operating leases for equipment, and facilities for the next five years and thereafter as follows:

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital raising in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

Syndicated Loan

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the “Syndicated Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (“Syndicated Term Loan”) of $100,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000, of which, $11,900 was utilized as of December 31, 2018 (the “Syndicated Revolving Facility”, and together with the “Syndicated Term Loan”, the “Syndicated Loans”). The Syndicated Loans can be increased by an additional $40,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the August 2017 Term Loan for $74,635, finance the Rose Acquisition, and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. As of December 31, 2018, the face value of the Syndicated Loans was $111,900 (amortized cost of $109,872).

Senior Loan

As part of the Texas Acquisition, Akumin Corp. (“Akumin US”) assumed from Tri-State Imaging FL Holdings, LLC (since renamed Akumin Florida Holdings, LLC, “Florida LLC”) all of Florida LLC’s senior credit facilities with a U.S. based institutional lender (the “Lender”) and entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement dated August 9, 2017 (the “August 2017 Credit Agreement”) with the Lender as administrative agent and another U.S. financial institution as co-lead arranger. Under the terms of the August 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company’s prior obligations to the Lender were assumed and additional term loan advances were made, resulting in $75,000 (face value) of term loan (the “August 2017 Term Loan”) being outstanding. The net proceeds of the additional term loan advance were used to repay in full advances drawn on the Company’s revolving credit facility of $2,500 and finance $44,718 of the Texas Acquisition. The August 2017 Credit Agreement also made available to Akumin US a revolving facility of up to $5,000 (the “August 2017 Revolving Facility”, and together with the August 2017 Term Loan, the “August 2017 Facilities”). The August 2017 Revolving Facility was unutilized as of December 31, 2018. Management determined the fair value of the August 2017 Term Loan as at August 9, 2017 to be $71,966, being its face value of $75,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $3,034. As described above, the August 2017 Term Loan was completely settled on August 15, 2018. As at December 31, 2018, the face value of the August 2017 Facilities was $nil (amortized cost of $nil).

April 2016 Note

As part of its acquisition of certain diagnostic imaging centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware on April 21, 2016, Florida LLC entered into a secured 5% promissory note with a U.S. based bank on April 21, 2016 (the “April 2016 Note”). The April 2016 Note was recognized at fair value on April 21, 2016 using an effective interest rate. The total estimated fair value of the April 2016 Note was $1,817 at April 21, 2016. A principal payment of $1,000 was made on October 31, 2017 in accordance with the terms of the April 2016 Note. In accordance with the terms of the April 2016 Note, the Company completely settled this loan on April 30, 2018 with a cash payment of $1,000.

Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of December 31, 2018, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,882 (amortized cost of $1,796).

Subordinated Note Payable

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement. As of December 31, 2018, the face value of the Subordinated Note was $1,500 (amortized cost of $1,492).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note - Earn-out) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note - Earn-out was revalued at $170 as at December 31, 2018 and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, finance leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the loans to related parties, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of finance leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract in November 2017 to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate of the then existing August 2017 Term Loan, which was refinanced with the Syndicated Loan. The Company terminated this derivative financial instrument contract on November 16, 2018. The Company received a cash payment of $75 from the counterparty and recognized a loss of $5 in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into another derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that certain senior officers and directors of the Company acquired an aggregate of 532,857 common shares of the Company at $3.50 per share for total cash consideration of $1,865. The shares were acquired pursuant to a previous exercise of a call option by Z Strategies Inc., a corporation controlled by Riadh Zine, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The call option was entered into in connection with Akumin US’s acquisition of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 at the request of certain selling securityholders of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC. On February 8, 2018, Akumin US agreed to lend an aggregate of $500 to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary in connection with the purchase by such officers of a total of approximately 142,857 common shares under that call option, as nominees of Z Strategies Inc.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable. During the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017, the impairment for accounts receivable was recorded when there was expectation that the Company would not be able to collect all amounts due of the receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and insurance companies for such services.

Significant Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB released IFRS 16, Leases, replacing IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations. The new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases and requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is twelve months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Application of the standard is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The IFRS 16 transition requirements provide the option of adopting a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients available. The Company has performed preliminary analysis as part of its assessment of IFRS 16 transition approaches, and intends to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis. The Company continues to finalize its approach on the use of the optional practical expedients.

The Company expects the adoption of IFRS 16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, given its current operating lease commitments. New assets and liabilities will be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets for the Company’s operating leases. On the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), the Company will replace the current lease expense with depreciation for right-of-use assets and finance expense on lease liabilities. There will be no change to the amount of cash flows as part of the underlying leases.

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments

In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2019. The interpretations provide guidance on how to value uncertain income tax positions based on the probability of whether the relevant tax authorities will accept the Company’s tax treatments. A company is to assume that a taxation authority with the right to examine any amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and will have full knowledge of all relevant information when doing so. IFRIC 23 is to be applied by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying these guidelines in opening retained earnings without adjusting comparative information. The Company believes that it is reasonable that there are no uncertain tax positions required to be reported on IRS Form UTP, “Uncertain Tax Positions Statement”, on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact and application of this standard.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Risk Factors

For a detailed description of risk factors associated with the Company, refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual information form dated March 28, 2019 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In addition, we are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of operations, including risks relating to cash flows from operations, liquidity, capital reserves, market rate fluctuations and internal controls over financial reporting. Our overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on our consolidated financial performance. Financial risk management is carried out under practices approved by our Audit Committee. This includes reviewing and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding the adequacy of our risk management policies and procedures with regard to identification of the Company’s principal risks, and implementation of appropriate systems and controls to manage these risks.

2 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The disclosures contained in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for annual financial statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on accounting policies as described in the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except for changes to the accounting policies described in note 3.

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal period.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

On November 13, 2019, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance.

 

3 Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application without restatement of prior year comparatives. Another new standard was also adopted as at January 1, 2019, IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of IFRS 16

During 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), replacing IAS 17, Leases (IAS 17) and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet recognition and measurement model for lessees, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset representing its control of and right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. As a result of adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Company has recognized an increase of $110,902,436 to both property and equipment and lease liabilities on its condensed interim consolidated balance sheets. Lessor accounting remains similar to IAS 17.

IFRS 16 became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it had the option of adopting a fully retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach on transition to IFRS 16. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company applied the requirements of the standard retrospectively with no restatement of the comparative period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company chose to measure all right-of-use assets retrospectively as if the standard had been applied since lease commencement dates, which is January 1, 2019 for purposes of the Company’s IFRS 16 adoption. Substantially all of the Company’s operating leases are real estate leases for its imaging centres and corporate offices and for medical equipment. Other leased assets include office equipment. The Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases except for certain classes of underlying assets in which the underlying asset was considered to be of low-value; however, the Company may choose to elect the recognition exemptions regarding short-term leases on a class-by-class basis for new classes, and lease-by-lease basis, respectively, in the future. Due to the removal of rent expense for leases, the Company’s operating expenses are reduced with a corresponding increase to depreciation and an increase to interest costs (due to accretion of the lease liability). There are no significant impacts to the Company’s existing finance leases under IAS 17 as a lessee.

IFRS 16 permits the use of recognition exemptions and practical expedients. The Company applied the following recognition exemptions and practical expedients:

· grandfathered the definition of leases for existing contracts at the date of initial application;
· excluded certain low-value leases from IFRS 16 lease accounting;
· applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics at the date of initial application;
· excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;
· used hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application; and
· relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review.

The Company used its incremental borrowing rates as at January 1, 2019 to measure lease liabilities. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for total lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 was 6.0%. Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the Company’s total minimum operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 were $163,728,644 (note 15 of the Company’s 2018 annual financial statements). These lease commitments included expected exercise of optional renewal terms for most of the leases. The difference between this amount and the lease liabilities of $110,902,436 recognized on transition on January 1, 2019 was due to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments.

Changes to accounting policies for leases

The Company did not restate prior year comparative information under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information continues to be reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Lessee accounting policy as a lessee

Applicable from January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments when a lessor makes the leased asset available for use by the Company. Lease payments for assets that are exempt through the low-value exemption are recognized in operating expenses. The measurement of lease liabilities includes the fixed and in-substance fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. Certain leases require the Company to make payments that relate to property taxes, insurance and other non-rental costs. These costs are typically variable and are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. If applicable, lease liabilities will also include the purchase option exercise price if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, termination penalties if the lease term also reflects the termination option and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the leased asset, a change in expected residual value guarantee, or a change in future lease payments.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

The right-of-use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease liabilities plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of lease incentives received, and decommissioning costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company applies the cost model to the right-of-use assets with the exception of the fair value model application to right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property in IAS 40, Investment Property. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses governed by IAS 36 and any remeasurements of lease liabilities. The assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the earlier of the end of the assets’ useful lives or the end of the lease terms.

Discount rates used in the present value calculation are the interest rates implicit in the leases, or if the rates cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Lease terms applied are the contractual non-cancellable periods of the leases plus periods covered by an option to renew the leases if the Company expects to exercise that option and the periods covered by an option to terminate the leases if the Company expects not to exercise that option.

The Company has elected to not separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments for leases

The management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. The management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including operational performance and past business practice. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if the management expects to renew. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the industry may impact the management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in the management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

In determining the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. The management determines the incremental borrowing rate of each leased asset by incorporating the Company’s creditworthiness, the security, term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

4 Business combinations
i) On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Davie, Florida, for cash consideration of approximately $450,000 (Davie Acquisition). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50,000 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) was withheld as security for indemnity obligations and was released to the seller on October 1, 2019. The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

 

    $  
Assets acquired      
Non-current assets        
Property and equipment     170,000  
Real estate (right-of-use)     427,558  
         
      597,558  
         
Liabilities assumed        
Non-current liabilities        
Leases     427,558  
         
Net assets acquired     170,000  
Goodwill     280,000  
         
Purchase price     450,000  

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, this acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $252 thousand and loss before tax of approximately $7 thousand to the Company’s consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2019, this business combination would have contributed approximately $376 thousand in revenue and $10 thousand in loss before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $170.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

ii) On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under ADG, The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the ADG Acquisitions).

 

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million, of which $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the Term Loans (note 9). A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (note 7).

The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows. Intangible assets include covenant not to compete, trade name and license arrangements. A deferred tax liability was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the ADG Acquisitions. The Company has utilized unrecognized tax benefits against this deferred tax liability, which resulted in an income tax recovery of the same amount during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019.

These acquisitions were an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida and enter the Georgia market. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to not be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, these acquisitions contributed revenue of approximately $24.4 million and income before tax of approximately $9.9 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from these acquisitions had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2019, this business combination would have contributed approximately $54.9 million in revenue and $22.1 million in income before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $200.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

a) During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

In accordance with the authorization from the Board in November 2017, 230,000 RSUs were granted to certain employees of the Company on January 1, 2018. Subsequently, on March 1, 2018, the Board authorized issuance of 35,000 RSUs on March 1, 2018 and 50,000 RSUs on March 12, 2018 to certain employees of the Company. Each granted RSU entitles the holder to one common share of the Company. These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board.

b) During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:
i) The Company had 238,859 warrants that were due to expire on April 21, 2018 and 112,706 warrants that were due to expire on May 31, 2018. These warrants allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share of the Company. These warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.
ii) On May 2, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal offering of its common shares by way of short form prospectus sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. A total of 8,750,000 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $4.00 per common share, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000 (the Offering). The related issuance costs were approximately $1.8 million, which were deducted from common equity. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters (the Underwriters). The Underwriters were granted 525,000 broker warrants (Broker Warrants) in connection with the Offering, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per common share for a 24-month period following the closing of the Offering. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.3988 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of approximately 62%; remaining life of two years; price per common share on grant of warrants of $4.00; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk free interest rate of 1.93%.
iii) On May 24, 2018, the Company announced that PMI completed its previously announced acquisitions of all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres (the Acquisitions). The Acquisitions related to certain operations carried on in Austin, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grapevine/Colleyville, Irving, Plano and Round Rock. The aggregate consideration paid for the Acquisitions was approximately $21.6 million, comprised of an aggregate cash payment of approximately $17.9 million and the issuance of approximately $3.7 million in common shares of the Company (927,397 shares at $4.00 per share). The cash consideration included approximately $0.2 million paid to a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Imaging of Tarrant County, LLC, that was consolidated in the Company’s results.

12 Commitments and contingencies

The Company is involved in certain legal matters arising from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company records provisions that reflect management’s best estimate of any potential liability relating to these matters. The resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13 Segmented financial information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

14 Risk management arising from financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current assets and liabilities were as follows:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

· Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
· Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
· Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The loans to related parties, the May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes, Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.

There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes information regarding the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated November 13, 2019 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

AKUMIN INC    |    Management’s Discussion and Analysis    |    Q3 2019     1

 
 

· expected performance and cash flows;
· changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company;
· expenses incurred by the Company as a public company;
· future growth of the diagnostic imaging market;

Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

· our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;
· general market conditions in the radiology and diagnostic imaging services industry;
· our ability to service existing debt;
· our ability to acquire new radiology and medical imaging centers and, upon acquisition, to successfully market and sell new services that we acquire;
· our ability to achieve the financing necessary to complete the acquisitions of new radiology and medical imaging centers;
· our ability to enforce any claims relating to breaches of indemnities or representations and warranties in connection with any acquisitions;
· market conditions in the capital markets and the radiology and medical imaging services industry that make raising capital or consummating acquisitions difficult, expensive or both, or which may disrupt our annual operating budget and forecasts;
· unanticipated cash requirements to support current operations, to expand our business or for capital expenditures;
· delays or setbacks with respect to governmental approvals, or manufacturing or commercial activities;
· changes in laws and regulations;
· the loss of key management or personnel;
· the risk that the Company is not able to arrange sufficient, cost-effective financing to repay maturing debt and to fund expenditures, future operational activities and acquisitions, and other obligations; and
· the risks associated with legislative and regulatory developments that may affect costs, revenues, the speed and degree of competition entering the market, global capital markets activity and general economic conditions in geographic areas where we operate.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

· no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;
· no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

AKUMIN INC    |    Management’s Discussion and Analysis    |    Q3 2019     2

 
 
· no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;
· a stable competitive environment; and
· no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

 

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provide close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

· Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.
· Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the adoption of IFRS 16 and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 23.

The Company initially adopted IFRS 16, Leases, as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application, which does not require restatement of prior period results. Other new standard that is also effective from January 1, 2019 onward is IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Please refer to note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further information on the adoption of these new accounting standards. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 28, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Davie Acquisition

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Davie, Florida for cash consideration of approximately $450 (“Davie Acquisition”). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) was withheld as security for indemnity obligations and was released to the seller on October 1, 2019. This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

ADG Acquisitions

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers (Florida - 21 and Georgia - 6) operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (ADG), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the “ADG Acquisitions”).

AKUMIN INC    |    Management’s Discussion and Analysis    |    Q3 2019     6

 
 

The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $217.6 million, of which $25 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $4.00 per share in accordance with the purchase agreements. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the May 2019 Loans. For accounting purposes, the equity consideration was valued based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019 ($23.4 million at $3.75 per share). Hence, the adjusted total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (“ADG Acquisition earn-out”, estimated at $20.5 million as of September 30, 2019). These acquisitions were an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida and enter the Georgia market.

Deltona Acquisition

On May 31, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Deltona, Florida for a cash consideration of $648 (“Deltona Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

El Paso Acquisition

On August 16, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, five outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in El Paso, Texas for a cash consideration of $11,000 (“El Paso Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale in Texas.

Exercise of Certain Outstanding Warrants and RSUs

a) During March 2017 the Company had issued 300,825 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $2.30 per common share. These warrants expired on March 10 and 17, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 120,330 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 180,495 warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.
b) The Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and 25,000 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to March 31, 2019. The remaining 132,500 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to June 30, 2019.
c) During August 2017, the Company issued 512,004 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share. The expiry date for these warrants was August 8, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 256,002 of these warrants were exercised into common shares. The remaining 256,002 of these warrants were not exercised into common shares and expired on August 8, 2019.

Subsequent Events

a) The Board had granted 315,000 RSUs to certain employees of the Company between January 1 and March 12, 2018. Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and the remaining unvested RSUs will vest between January 1 and March 12, 2020. Twenty-five thousand RSUs from these unvested RSUs were settled for common shares on October 1, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.
b) On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, three outpatient diagnostic imaging centers near West Palm Beach, Florida for cash consideration of approximately $18 million. This acquisition was mostly financed through the delayed draw portion of the Company’s senior term loan of $16 million and approximately $1 million under the Company’s revolving credit facility, both under the May 2019 Credit Agreement.

Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 were 1,435 (in thousands) compared to 850 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. In fiscal 2018, the Company completed the Tampa Acquisition effective May 11, 2018, the Rose Acquisition effective August 15, 2018, the Kissimmee Acquisition effective November 1, 2018 and the Broward Acquisition effective November 9, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Acquisitions”). In fiscal 2019, the Company completed the Davie Acquisition effective April 1, 2019, the ADG Acquisitions effective May 31, 2019, the Deltona Acquisition effective May 31, 2019, and the El Paso Acquisition effective August 16, 2019 (collectively, the “2019 Acquisitions”). Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions (except for Tampa Acquisition and pro-rating for the Rose Acquisition) and 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 929 in the thee-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to 846 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 10%. This volume growth is broadly based across all markets.

Revenue was $68,874 and $39,131 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, approximately 31% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 11% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 38% to 35% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. This decrease is mainly attributable to the ADG Acquisitions, which have a larger proportion of higher-margin auto/attorney payors.

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 13% to 14%. This increase is a result of the 2018 and 2019 Acquisitions.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 11% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is mainly attributable to the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 9% of revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 8% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and the fixed nature of certain costs included in third party services and professional fees.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 8% to 7% of revenue, partly due to the fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 8% of revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for three-month ended September 30, 2019 was $18,039 compared to $8,285 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions, the 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the thee-month period ended September 30, 2019 was 26% compared to 21% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $1,988 (3% of revenue) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 and net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $195 (0% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a deferred tax liability of $422 was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the ADG Acquisitions. The Company utilized unrecognized tax benefits against this deferred tax liability, which resulted in an income tax recovery of the same amount.

Volume and revenue. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 were 3,664 (in thousands) compared to 2,271 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the 2018 Acquisitions (except for pro-rating for the Tampa Acquisition and Rose Acquisition) and 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 2,419 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2,260 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 7%. This volume growth is broadly based across all markets.

Revenue was $170,410 and $109,331 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, approximately 23% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 10% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 at 35%.

Reading fees. Reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 at 14%.

Rent and utilities. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 10% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is mainly attributable to the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 10% of revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 7%, compared to 8% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and the fixed nature of certain costs included in third party services and professional fees.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 10% to 8% of revenue, partly due to the fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 9% of revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for nine-month ended September 30, 2019 was $39,581 compared to $23,353 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 increased from 21% to 23%.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $3,196 (2% of revenue) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $2,791 (3% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and an income tax recovery (noted below) partly offset by higher acquisition costs, interest, depreciation and financial instrument revaluation losses upon extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a deferred tax liability of $422 was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the ADG Acquisitions. The Company utilized unrecognized tax benefits against this deferred tax liability, which resulted in an income tax recovery of the same amount.

Cash was $17,476 as at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1,850, as compared to $19,326 as at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was due to $10,773 provided by operating activities and $197,811 provided by financing activities, offset by $210,434 used in investing activities. The classification of cash flows was impacted by adoption of IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019.

Accounts receivable were $77,163 as at September 30, 2019, an increase of $47,352, as compared to $29,811 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly due to $25,728 of accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for Rose Acquisition, Kissimmee Acquisition, Broward Acquisition, ADG Acquisitions and El Paso Acquisition.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company’s days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) were approximately 98 days (approximately 92 days at June 30, 2019). Excluding attorney/auto payors, DSO were approximately 77 days (approximately 69 days at June 30, 2019). The increase in DSO is a result of increased revenue in the period from strong organic growth, higher proportion of revenue mix from attorney/auto payors with a longer collection cycle, transition of ADG Acquisitions’ revenue cycle process to Akumin’s platform during the quarter and the continued efforts of integrating previously announced acquisitions onto Akumin’s revenue cycle platform.

Property and equipment was $195,952 as at September 30, 2019, an increase of $140,385, as compared to $55,567 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to property and equipment recognized in the purchase price allocations for Davie Acquisition ($598), ADG Acquisitions ($28,135) Deltona Acquisition ($449) and El Paso Acquisition ($7,535), right of use assets recognized upon adoption of IFRS 16 ($110,902), additions to right of use assets ($1,306), and capital expenditures ($11,958) partly offset by depreciation ($19,450) and net disposals ($1,048).

Intangible assets were $11,942 as at September 30, 2019, an increase of $8,273, as compared to $3,669 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is due to intangible assets recognized in the purchase price allocations for ADG Acquisitions ($9,010) and El Paso Acquisition ($720), partly offset by amortization recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $330,828 as at September 30, 2019, an increase of $200,288 of as compared to $130,540 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to goodwill recognized from the 2019 Acquisitions, partly offset by decreases in goodwill mainly due to revisions to accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for the Rose Acquisition, the Kissimmee Acquisition and the Broward Acquisition totaling $5,105.

This increase is attributable to May 2019 Loans proceeds ($333,600), non-cash interest accretion ($1,185), loss on revaluation upon settlement of Syndicated Loans and subordinated note ($1,850), loss on revaluation of derivative financial instruments liability ($1,224), and loss on revaluation of Subordinated

 

Note – Earn-out ($11), partly offset by loan repayments ($112,963), repayment of subordinated note ($1,500), debt issuance costs ($14,782), and increase in finance lease liabilities ($1,882).

 

The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $134,688 as at September 30, 2019, an increase of $30,750 as compared to $103,938 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is due to issuance of $23,438 in common shares related to the ADG Acquisitions, $1,311 in warrants exercised, stock-based compensation of $2,805 and net income of $3,196 earned by the Company during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such debt and equity issuances are noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $17,476.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had $328,014 of senior loans payable, derivative financial instruments liability, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of September 30, 2019, $5,005 of these liabilities are due within one year.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

As at September 30, 2019, we had other lease liabilities of $126,226, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of September 30, 2019, $8,804 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $6,059. As of September 30, 2019, $1,304 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019 the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (“Term Loan A”, “Term Loan B” and collectively, “Term Loans”) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which $3,300 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the “May 2019 Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loans, the “May 2019 Loans”). $16,000 of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn (in addition to approximately $1,300 under the May 2019 Revolving Facility) by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance an acquisition near West Palm Beach, Florida. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance the ADG Acquisition and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. In August 2019, the Company used $11 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance the El Paso Acquisition and as at September 30, 2019, this credit facility had a balance of $17,600.

Syndicated Loan

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the “Syndicated Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (“Syndicated Term Loan”) of $100,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000, of which, $11,900 was utilized as of May 30, 2019 (the “Syndicated Revolving Facility”, and together with the “Syndicated Term Loan”, the “Syndicated Loans”). The Syndicated Loans could be increased by an additional $40,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the August 2017 Term Loan for $74,635, finance the Rose Acquisition, and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million.

In accordance with the terms of the Syndicated Loans, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to refinance the Syndicated Loans on May 31, 2019 for $112,482 (face value of $111,900 and accrued interest and related fees of $582). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $1,843 on the extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition, the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of September 30, 2019, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,608 (amortized cost of $1,536).

Subordinated Note Payable

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019 together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596 (face value of $1,500 and accrued interest of $96). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $7 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note - Earn-out) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note - Earn-out was revalued at $181 as at September 30, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the loans to related parties, May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract, with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the May 2019 Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000 as at July 31, 2019) with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of July 31, 2022, and (ii) a floor rate of 1.86% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of January 31, 2021.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans to related parties. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases, May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan and Subordinated Note. Amortization is recorded using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies the derivative financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition-earn-out, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. There have been no significant changes to those risks impacting the Company since December 31, 2018, nor has there been a significant change in the composition of its financial instruments since December 31, 2018, except for the May 2019 Loans and the ADG Acquisition earn-out, which mainly relate to the ADG Acquisitions in May 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of approximately $181.

Share Information

As of the date of this MD&A, we have 69,240,272 common shares issued and outstanding. If all of the stock options of the Company that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to our stock option plan were to be exercised, including options that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 4,113,268 common shares, or approximately 5.94% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

In addition, if all of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to the RSU plan of the Company were to be exercised, including RSUs that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 938,156 common shares, or approximately 1.35% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Further, as of the date of this MD&A, there are 557,013 warrants to purchase common shares which are issued and outstanding. If those warrants were to be exercised, we would be required to issue an additional 557,013 common shares, or approximately 0.80% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that certain senior officers and directors of the Company acquired an aggregate of 532,857 common shares of the Company at $3.50 per share for total cash consideration of $1,865. The shares were acquired pursuant to a previous exercise of a call option by Z Strategies Inc., a corporation controlled by Riadh Zine, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The call option was entered into in connection with Akumin US’s acquisition of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 at the request of certain selling securityholders of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC. On February 8, 2018, Akumin US agreed to lend an aggregate of $500 to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary in connection with the purchase by such officers of a total of approximately 142,857 common shares under that call option, as nominees of Z Strategies Inc. The principal amount remaining from time to time unpaid and outstanding on such loan shall bear interest at 6% per annum and will be payable on the maturity date, being February 8, 2021. The borrowing officers of the Company have granted a security interest in the common shares purchased by them with the loan proceeds in favour of Akumin Corp. As of September 30, 2019, the balance of the related parties’ loan was $333.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and insurance companies for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Risk Factors

Commenting on the Q3 Fiscal 2019 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “The quarter ending September 30, 2019 represents another fiscal quarter of growth and financial performance in-line with management’s expectation, including revenue of $68.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $18.0 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q3 Fiscal 2019 was approximately 1,435,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 850,000 RVUs in Q3 Fiscal 2018, an increase of 69%. On an organic volume basis, RVUs increased by 10% compared to Q3 Fiscal 2018. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

“Q3 Fiscal 2019 includes partial contribution of the recently announced acquisition in El Paso, Texas, completed on August 16, 2019. In early October 2019, the Corporation also completed a tuck-in acquisition in West Palm Beach, Florida, which is not reflected in the quarter.”

Akumin would like to remind interested parties of the Corporation’s Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results Call, to be held today from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. A related presentation will be available for download on Akumin’s website at https://akum.in/Q3-presentation. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2018 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” , “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” and “Adjusted EPS – Diluted”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated November 13, 2019 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

 
- 3 -

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

“Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this press release constitutes forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Akumin as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2019, which is available at www.sedar.com. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Akumin; however, these factors should be considered carefully. There can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Akumin expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements containing any forward-looking information, or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Akumin Announces Change of Auditor

 

December 2, 2019 – Plantation, FL – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU.U; AKU) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced that it has changed its auditors to Ernst & Young LLP. At the request of the Corporation, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the former auditors, resigned effective November 29, 2019 and the board of directors appointed Ernst & Young LLP as the Corporation’s auditor effective December 2, 2019 until the next annual general meeting of the Corporation. The change of auditor was made in connection with the Corporation’s intention to commence reporting its financial statements in U.S. GAAP instead of IFRS during the 2020 fiscal year, as discussed at its annual general meeting of shareholders held June 21, 2019. Prior to the appointment of Ernst & Young as the successor auditors, the board of directors approved the addition of U.S. head office for the Corporation in Plantation, Florida. Toronto, Ontario would remain the Canadian head office.

 

“We would like to thank PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for their audit expertise and guidance these past several years and we are pleased to announce that Ernst & Young LLP will act as our auditors going forward. We expect to continue to use PricewaterhouseCoopers for non-audit services,” said Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Akumin.

 

There were no reservations in PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s audit reports for the period commencing at the beginning of Akumin’s two most recent financial years and ending at the date of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ resignation. There are no “reportable events,” as that term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”), between Akumin and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

 

In accordance with NI 51-102, the notice of change of auditor, together with the required letters from the former auditor and the successor auditor, have been reviewed by the board of directors of the Company and filed on SEDAR.

Akumin designates imaging centers for COVID-19 response

March 23, 2020 – Plantation, FL – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU.U, AKU) (“Akumin”) announced today it will be dedicating 10 of its freestanding, outpatient diagnostic imaging centers (the “Designated Centers”) across its regions to focus specifically on patients who have been diagnosed with an active case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, or who have similar symptoms. Those patients can receive imaging procedures, such as CT, X-ray or Ultrasound, to the extent they have been ordered by a physician who determines such services to be necessary or useful in connection with their medical assessment and treatment related to COVID-19. This decision will also allow such patients to receive essential medical imaging studies which may be necessary in connection with COVID-19 or other conditions unrelated to COVID-19. While Akumin continues to follow CDC and state and local health department guidelines relating to infectious disease protocols at all of its centers to protect its patients, personnel and the broader community, the Designated Centers will maintain heightened decontamination protocols.

“Akumin is taking these actions to do its part to help its communities in response to COVID-19 by dedicating healthcare resources to dealing with this pandemic while ensuring the safety of its employees and patients,” said Riadh Zine, CEO of Akumin.

All other Akumin imaging centers remain open to provide imaging services for our patients, subject to local laws and compliance with CDC guidelines. These imaging centers will continue to screen patients before entry, based on CDC guidelines, and will direct symptomatic patients to the Designated Centers. In addition, Akumin will work with local health authorities to provide an alternative imaging option to hospital essential imaging services so that resources at hospitals can be focused on, and redirected to dealing with, the coronavirus outbreak. Also, subject to local public health orders intended to fight the novel coronavirus and preserve personal protective equipment, Akumin patients with scheduled screening studies may experience a deferral of their studies.

The Designated Centers will, starting March 25, 2020, initially include the following locations:

Independent auditor’s report

To the Shareholders of Akumin Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Akumin Inc. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statement of net income and comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (Canadian GAAS) and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada and the United States, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of a matter – Adoption of IFRS 16

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard 16, Leases, and the related amendments. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.


Other matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on November 13, 2019.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.


Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS or U.S. GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS and U.S. GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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.

 

   

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, we express no such opinion.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.


   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Maria Camila Cote.

Functional and reporting currency and foreign currency translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company and the Subsidiaries is US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the dates of acquisition. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the month the transaction occurred. All exchange gains and losses are recognized in the current year’s earnings.

Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and cash held with banks.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the declining balance method, unless stated otherwise, as follows:

 

Medical equipment and equipment under finance leases

     20

Computer and office equipment

     30

Furniture and fittings

     15

Leasehold improvements

     straight-line over  
     term of lease  

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Operating lease buyouts and significant upgrades are capitalized.

Intangible assets

The Company classifies intangible assets, obtained through acquisitions or developed internally, as definite lived. Intangible assets consist of software costs, trade name, license arrangements and covenants not to compete; these intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the declining balance method, unless stated otherwise, as follows:

 

Software costs, trade name and license arrangements

     20

Covenant not to compete

     straight-line over  
     term of contract  

The Company reviews the appropriateness of the amortization period related to the definite lived intangible assets annually.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as the fair value of the consideration transferred, less the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is allocated to groups of cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The determination of CGUs and the level at which goodwill is monitored requires judgment by management.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company’s CGUs generally represent individual business units below the level of the Company’s operating segment. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as at October 1 and as required when impairment indicators exist, by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs against the recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell).

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that a long-lived asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other CGUs. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use.

Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs to sell. Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset and income tax expense.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or CGU exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (except goodwill) or CGU is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), as at January 1, 2018, with full retrospective application. Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third party payers. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when services are rendered to the patient. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, attorneys, and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. A provision for credit losses is also recorded in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

IFRS 15 applies a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. It requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer and at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those goods or services. This is achieved by applying the following five steps:

 

  i)

identify the contract with a customer;

 

  ii)

identify the performance obligation in the contract;

 

  iii)

determine the transaction price;

 

  iv)

allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  v)

recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the net earnings available to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive instruments.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Current income tax expense represents the amount of income taxes payable based on tax law that is enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and is adjusted for changes in estimates of tax expense recognized in prior periods. A current tax liability or asset is recognized for income taxes payable, or paid but recoverable, in respect of all periods to date.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company uses the deferred tax method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements’ carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the enactment or substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be available to utilize such amounts. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Financial instruments

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), retrospectively. IFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities. It establishes three measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Under IFRS 9, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

 

  a)

Measurement of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets (such as cash and accounts receivable) and liabilities (such as accounts payable, accrued liabilities, leases and loans) at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently are carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Derivative financial instruments and earn-outs are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value.

 

  b)

Impairment of financial assets

The expected credit loss (ECL) model under IFRS 9 applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments measured at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments.

Under IFRS 9, expected credit losses are measured as follows:

 

   

twelve-month ECL – ECLs that result from possible default events within twelve months after the reporting date; and

 

   

lifetime ECLs – ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

 

(13)


Akumin Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

The Company measures provision for credit losses at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured based on twelve-month ECLs:

 

   

cash and loans to related parties for which the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

In applying the IFRS 9 impairment requirements, the Company applies the general approach for cash and loans to related parties, while the Company measures provision for credit losses for accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs using the simplified approach.

In order to assess whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes information based on the Company’s historical experience and other forward-looking information. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

 

  c)

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of provision for credit losses. Provision for credit losses is measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows the Company expects to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset; however, due to the short-term nature of most of the Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost, the time value of money is not expected to be significant in the calculation of the ECL.

For accounts receivable, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine the ECLs based on actual credit loss experience with consideration of forward-looking information including changes to economic conditions that would impact its customers.

The Company applies the general approach for loans to related parties, considering any significant increases in credit risk for such receivables since inception. In determining the ECLs for such receivables, the Company considers actual credit loss experience with consideration of forward-looking information including changes to economic conditions that would impact the payers.

Leases

During 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), replacing IAS 17, Leases (IAS 17) and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet recognition and measurement model for lessees, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset representing its control of and right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. As a result of adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Company has recognized an increase of $98,744,716 to both property and equipment and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Lessor accounting remains similar to IAS 17.

IFRS 16 became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it had the option of adopting a fully retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach on transition to IFRS 16. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company applied the requirements of the standard retrospectively with no restatement of the comparative period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company chose to measure all right-of-use assets retrospectively as if the standard had been applied since lease commencement dates, which is January 1, 2019 for purposes of the Company’s IFRS 16 adoption. Substantially all of the Company’s operating leases are real estate leases for its imaging centres and corporate offices and for medical equipment. Other leased assets include office equipment. The Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases except for certain classes of underlying assets in which the underlying asset was considered to be of low-value; however, the Company may choose to elect the recognition exemptions regarding short-term leases on a class-by-class basis for new classes, and lease-by-lease basis, respectively, in the future. Due to the removal of rent expense for leases, the Company’s operating expenses are reduced with a corresponding increase to depreciation and an increase to interest costs (due to accretion of the lease liability). There are no significant impacts to the Company’s existing finance leases under IAS 17 as a lessee.

IFRS 16 permits the use of recognition exemptions and practical expedients. The Company applied the following recognition exemptions and practical expedients:

 

   

grandfathered the definition of leases for existing contracts at the date of initial application;

 

   

excluded certain low-value leases from IFRS 16 lease accounting;

 

   

applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics at the date of initial application;

 

   

excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;

 

   

used hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application; and

 

   

relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review.

The Company used its incremental borrowing rates as at January 1, 2019 to measure lease liabilities. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate for total lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 was 6.7%. Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the Company’s total minimum operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 were $163,728,644. These lease commitments included expected exercise of optional renewal terms for most of the leases. The difference between this amount and the lease liabilities of $98,744,716 recognized on transition on January 1, 2019 was due to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments.

Changes to accounting policies for leases

The Company did not restate prior year comparative information under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information continues to be reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Lessee accounting policy as a lessee

Applicable from January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments when a lessor makes the leased asset available for use by the Company. Lease payments for assets that are exempt through the low-value exemption are recognized in operating expenses. The measurement of lease liabilities includes the fixed and in-substance fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. Certain leases require the Company to make payments that relate to property taxes, insurance and other non-rental costs. These costs are typically variable and are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. If applicable, lease liabilities will also include the purchase option exercise price if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, termination penalties if the lease term also reflects the termination option and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the leased asset, a change in expected residual value guarantee, or a change in future lease payments.

The right-of-use assets are measured at the initial amount of the lease liabilities plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of lease incentives received, and decommissioning costs.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the Company applies the cost model to the right-of-use assets. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses governed by IAS 36 and any remeasurements of lease liabilities. The assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the earlier of the end of the assets’ useful lives or the end of the lease terms.

Discount rates used in the present value calculation are the interest rates implicit in the leases, or if the rates cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Lease terms applied are the contractual non-cancellable periods of the leases plus periods covered by an option to renew the leases if the Company expects to exercise that option and the periods covered by an option to terminate the leases if the Company expects not to exercise that option.

The Company has elected to not separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments for leases

The management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. The management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including operational performance and past business practice. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if the management expects to renew. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the industry may impact the management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in the management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

In determining the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. The management determines the incremental borrowing rate of each leased asset by incorporating the Company’s creditworthiness, the security, term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

Leases (IAS 17)

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a finance lease.

Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property as at the inception date or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company has issued warrants that are convertible into common stock; these warrants are classified as equity instruments.

Restricted share units

Restricted share units (RSUs) are issued in accordance with the Company’s RSU Plan, which entitles a holder of one RSU to receive one common share of the Company. RSUs are assigned a value based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board (note 13). For RSUs awarded to non-employees for equity issuance services, the value of the RSUs is classified as equity issuance costs on vesting of such RSUs. For RSUs awarded to non- employees for business services, the RSU expense would be recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) on vesting of such RSUs.

Stock-based compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of stock options, which are described in note 16 and RSUs, which are discussed in note 13. Each tranche of a share option award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and recorded at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest by increasing contributed surplus. Any consideration paid by employees or directors on the exercise of stock options is credited to common stock and the related fair value of those stock options is transferred from the contributed surplus to common stock.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition accounting method. The total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values as at the date of acquisition. Goodwill as at the acquisition date is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired company over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Any non-controlling interests in the acquired company are measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business. Best estimates and assumptions are used in the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. On conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

Changes in non-controlling interests

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a reserve within equity attributable to owners of Akumin.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured based on management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to their present value where the effect is material.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events outside the Company’s control, or present obligations that are not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits would be required to settle the obligation or the amount cannot be measured reliably.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed and described in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, including an estimate of their potential financial effect and uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow, unless the possibility of settlement is remote. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, with assistance from its legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

Uncertainty over income tax treatment

In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23—Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment, (IFRIC 23), which clarifies application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12—Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Company adopted IFRIC 23 as at January 1, 2019, but it does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

 

  i)

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at net realizable value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable.

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

 

  ii)

Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets

Management tests at least annually or more frequently if there are events or changes in circumstances to assess whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount from CGUs or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

 

  iii)

Income taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

 

  iv)

Business combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at its proportionate share of the fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

  v)

Contractual allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances, principally for patients covered by managed care and other health plans, and self-pay patients. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government sponsored health-care programs, insurance companies and other payors for such services.

Business combinations

 

  a)

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Davie, Florida, for cash consideration of $450,000 (Davie Acquisition). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50,000 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) was withheld as security for indemnity obligations and was released to the seller on October 1, 2019. The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as at the date of acquisition, as follows:

 

     $  

Assets acquired

  

Non-current assets

  

Property and equipment

     170,000

     450,000  
  

 

 

 

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, this acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $0.4 million and loss before tax of approximately $50 thousand to the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2019, this business combination would have contributed approximately $0.5 million in revenue and $67 thousand in loss before tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $247.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

  b)

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centres (Florida – 21 and Georgia – 6) operated under ADG, The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centres were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the ADG Acquisitions).

The total purchase price (excluding earn-out) for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216 million, of which $23.4 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $3.75 per share based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the Term Loans (note 11). A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (note 9). Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, the cash purchase price was reduced by approximately $0.2 million due to working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement.

The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as at the date of acquisition, as follows. Intangible assets include covenant not to compete, trade name and license arrangements. A deferred tax liability was assumed as part of the net assets acquired in the ADG Acquisitions.

On April 5, 2018, the Company announced that, through a subsidiary, it had entered into a management agreement with the owners of four centres located in one of Akumin’s core geographic markets (the Managed Centres, and the period from April 5 to May 11, 2018, the Management Period). On May 11, 2018, the Company announced it had acquired, through a subsidiary (Akumin FL), certain assets of the Managed Centres in Florida (the Tampa Acquisition). The sellers were paid cash consideration of $50,000. The Company also assumed certain priority ranked accounts payable of $1,553,290 (including $727,826 related to working capital loans advanced from the Company to the Managed Centres during the Management Period) and a 6% third party subordinated note with a principal balance of $1.5 million (face value) and a term of four years. The principal balance of the third party loan is subject to an earn-out of up to an additional $4.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones (note 12).

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of the Tampa Acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, the Tampa Acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $5.1 million and net income before tax of approximately $0.8 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018, this business combination would have contributed approximately $8.0 million in revenue and $1.2 million in income before tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $157.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on the Rose Acquisition, expected to not be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of the Rose Acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, the Rose Acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $9.1 million and income before tax of approximately $0.3 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition as though the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018, this business combination would have contributed approximately $23.9 million in revenue and $0.9 million in income before tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $169.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the business acquired in the Rose Acquisition.

This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida. The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of the Broward Acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, the Broward Acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $1.9 million and income before tax of approximately $0.2 million to the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

The Company has estimated the contribution to the Company’s consolidated results from this acquisition had the business combination occurred at the beginning of the year. Had the business combination occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018, this business combination would have contributed approximately $13.3 million in revenue and $1.6 million in income before tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and consolidated pro forma revenue and income before tax for the same period would have been approximately $166.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively. These estimates should not be used as an indicator of past or future performance of the Company or the acquisition.

     342,221,551        130,539,869  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The recoverable amount from CGUs was estimated based on an assessment of value-in-use. The methodology used to test impairment is classified as Level 3 per the fair value hierarchy described in note 17.

The value in use for a CGU or group of CGUs is determined by discounting five-year cash flow projections (cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using perpetuity growth rates). These projections reflect management’s expectations based on past experience and future estimates of operating performance. The discount rates are applied to the cash flow projections and are derived from the weighted average cost of capital for each CGU or group of CGUs.

In measuring the recoverable amounts for goodwill as at December 31, 2019, significant estimates include the perpetuity growth rates and weighted average cost of capital discount rates, which range from 1.5% to 2.5% and 8.0% to 9.0% (2018 – 1.5% to 2.5% and 8.0% to 9.0%), respectively. The Company’s discount rates are based on market rates of return, debt to equity ratios, and certain risk premiums, among other things. The perpetuity growth rates are based on expected economic conditions and a general outlook for the industry.

An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. No impairment charges have arisen as a result of the reviews performed as at October 1, 2019. Reasonably possible changes in key assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of goodwill to fall below the carrying value. As there were no indicators of impairment for any of the CGUs, management has not updated any of the other impairment calculations as at December 31, 2019.

A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the ADG Acquisitions (note 3), specifically for SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, is subject to an earn-out (the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability) based on its annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs including certain operating expenses, capital expenditures and incremental working capital. In accordance with the purchase agreement, 50% of this liability is expected to be settled in the latter half of 2020 and the balance in the first half of 2021.

The value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability has been estimated by management using a probability weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management estimated the fair value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability as at May 31, 2019 of approximately $15 million based on a discount rate of approximately 7% and management’s estimated probability weighted range of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17). The ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability was revalued at approximately $15 million as at December 31, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at December 31, 2019, the range of estimated undiscounted ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability is between approximately $15 million and $27 million.

Senior loans payable

The May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans and Wesley Chapel Loan are collectively referred to as the Senior Loans.

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019, the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (Term Loan A, Term Loan B and collectively, Term Loans) of $66,000,000 and $266,000,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000,000, of which $3,300,000 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the May 2019 Revolving Facility, and together with the Term Loans, the May 2019 Loans). $16 million of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn (in addition to approximately $1.3 million under the May 2019 Revolving Facility) by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance the West Palm Beach Acquisition (note 3). The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482,181, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596,250 (note 12), partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300,000 net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. The fair value of the May 2019 Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17).

In August 2019, the Company used $11 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance the El Paso Acquisition (note 3) and in December 2019, the Company used $3.2 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance two small acquisitions undertaken in January 2020 in Florida and Illinois (note 24). As at December 31, 2019, this credit facility had a balance of approximately, $22.1 million.

Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000,000 as at November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021. The cost of this derivative financial instrument was $155,000. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the financial institution as at December 31, 2019 represented an asset to the Company of $597.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract (further amended on November 22, 2019), with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Term Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000,000 as at July 31, 2019) with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of July 31, 2022, and (ii) a floor rate of 1.4825% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of October 31, 2021. There was no upfront cost of this derivative financial instrument. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the financial institution as at December 31, 2019 represented a liability to the Company of $951,702. During February 2020, the Company amended this interest rate collar contract by reducing the floor rate to 1.1475% (LIBOR) and extending the termination date to July 31, 2022.

Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The May 2019 Credit Agreement provides for the following (capitalized terms used below in this note and not defined elsewhere in these notes have the respective meanings given to them in the May 2019 Credit Agreement):

 

   

Interest

The interest rates payable on the May 2019 Loans are as follows: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate and (c) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus Applicable Rate. All advances under the May 2019 Loans are currently classified as

With respect to interest rate sensitivity as at December 31, 2019, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would have increased interest expense for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 by approximately $2.0 million (2018 – $nil).

 

   

Payments

The minimum principal payment schedule for the May 2019 Loans is noted herein.

 

   

Termination

The termination date of the May 2019 Loans is the earliest of (i) May 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the obligations become due and payable pursuant to the May 2019 Credit Agreement.

Syndicated Loans

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the Syndicated Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (Syndicated Term Loan) of $100,000,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000, of which $11,900,000 was utilized as at May 30, 2019 (the Syndicated Revolving Facility, and together with the Syndicated Term Loan, the Syndicated Loans). The Syndicated Loans could be increased by an additional $40,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900,000 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle Akumin’s previous senior loan for $74,634,848, finance the Rose Acquisition in August 2018 and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million. The fair value of the Syndicated Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17).

In accordance with the terms of the Syndicated Loans, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the Syndicated Loans on May 31, 2019 for $112,482,181 (face value of $111,900,000 and accrued interest and related fees of $582,181).

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, Akumin FL entered into a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Lender, respectively) with a face value of $1,500,000 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17).

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under the Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019, together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596,250 (face value of $1,500,000 and accrued interest of $96,250). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $6,830 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

According to the Subordinated Note, the Company is subject to an earn-out liability (Subordinated Note – Earn-out) of up to $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 (the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period), subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones, as follows:

 

  a)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out for any given calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be equal to 50% of any positive difference calculated by subtracting the Base Revenue ($16,000,000) for such calendar year from the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue (defined below) for such calendar year.

  b)

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period shall be the gross revenue generated by the centres related to the Tampa Acquisition during such calendar year.

 

  c)

If Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue for any calendar year of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is less than or equal to $16,000,000, no Subordinated Note – Earn-out shall be payable for such calendar year.

 

  d)

The maximum aggregate amount of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out that may be earned over the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is $4,000,000.

The value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out has been estimated by management using a probability-weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management estimated the fair value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $160,790 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability-weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 17). The Subordinated Note – Earn-out was revalued at $184,485 as at December 31, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at December 31, 2019, the range of estimated undiscounted Subordinated Note – Earn-out payable is between $nil and $218,183.

Payments and termination

Under the Subordinated Note agreement, prior to May 11, 2022 (the Maturity Date), the Company may repay, without penalty, all or any portion of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out, and accrued but unpaid interest.

Restrictive covenants

The Subordinated Note agreement places certain limits on Akumin FL’s ability to declare dividends or other distributions, incur liens or indebtedness, make investments, undertake mergers or reorganizations or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business.

Financial covenants

None.

Events of default

Events of default under the Subordinated Note agreement include failure to pay any Subordinated Note – Earn-out, once earned, together with interest when due, defaults in complying with terms of the Subordinated Note agreement, and the occurrence of bankruptcy events relating to Akumin FL. The occurrence of an event of default would permit the Subordinated Note Lender to declare any Subordinated Note – Earn-out, once earned, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

 

  a)

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

230,000 RSUs were granted to certain employees of the Company on January 1, 2018. Subsequently, on March 1, 2018, the Board authorized issuance of 35,000 RSUs on March 1, 2018 and 50,000 RSUs on March 12, 2018 to certain employees of the Company. Each granted RSU entitles the holder to one common share of the Company. These RSUs will vest as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the common shares of the Company on the grant date (or the nearest working day prior to the grant date). Such value is classified as stock-based compensation over the vesting period for all RSUs awarded to employees or the Board.

 

  b)

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

 

  i)

The Company had 238,859 warrants that were due to expire on April 21, 2018 and 112,706 warrants that were due to expire on May 31, 2018. These warrants allowed warrant holders to purchase common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share of the Company. These warrants were exercised into common shares prior to expiry.

 

  ii)

On May 2, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal offering of its common shares by way of short form prospectus sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. A total of 8,750,000 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $4.00 per common share, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000 (the Offering). The related issuance costs were approximately $1.8 million, which were deducted from common equity. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters (the Underwriters). The Underwriters were granted 525,000 broker warrants (Broker Warrants) in connection with the Offering, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per common share for a 24-month period following the closing of the Offering. The fair value of these warrants, recognized as a deduction of issued capital, was determined to be $1.3988 per warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of approximately 62%; remaining life of two years; price per common share on grant of warrants of $4.00; expected dividend yield of zero; and annual risk free interest rate of 1.93%.

 

  iii)

On May 24, 2018, the Company announced that PMI completed its previously announced acquisitions of all of the outstanding non-controlling interests in seven of its existing Texas based diagnostic imaging centres (the Acquisitions). The Acquisitions related to certain operations carried on in Austin, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grapevine/Colleyville, Irving, Plano and Round Rock. The aggregate consideration paid for the Acquisitions was approximately $21.6 million, comprised of an aggregate cash payment of approximately $17.9 million and the issuance of approximately $3.7 million in common shares of the Company (927,397 shares at $4.00 per share). The cash consideration included approximately $0.2 million paid to a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Imaging of Tarrant County, LLC, that was consolidated in the Company’s results.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 30.21% (2018 – (-43.95%)). The tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in the United States and the relative amounts of income earned in this jurisdiction, which management expects to be fairly consistent in the near term. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between the statutory rate of 26.5% (2018 – 26.5%) and the effective tax rate for 2019:

 

  i)

a $1,738,508 (-18.81%) (2018 – $(4,591,823) (-132.20%)) decrease resulting from the release of unrecognized tax benefit;

 

  ii)

a $942,013 (10.19%) (2018 – $1,511,135 (43.51%)) increase resulting from the stock-based compensation (note 16);

 

  iii)

a $277,482 (-3.00%) (2018 – $(220,389) (-6.35%)) decrease resulting from tax rate differences between Canada and the United States; and

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Based on management’s assessment of the future profitability of the Company, as at December 31, 2019, an unrecognized tax benefit of $(2,800,607) (2018– $1,796,113) has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced or increased.

 

  c)

Tax losses

The Company has operating loss carry-forwards of $16,226,326 (2018 – $24,436,645), which begin to expire in 2036. Of these loss-carryforwards, $3,815,178 does not expire but is subject to utilization restrictions.

 

15

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, the management evaluates the developments on a regular basis and accrues a liability when it believes a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the amount or any estimable range of reasonably possible or probable loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.

 

16

Stock-based compensation – options

The Company operates an equity-settled, stock options based payment compensation plan, under which the Company pays equity instruments of the Company as consideration in exchange for employee services. The plan is open to directors and certain employees of the Company. The fair value of the grant of options is recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the service vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the Company’s option plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company) is 10% of the aggregate number of common shares which are outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2019, this represented 6,984,092 (2018 – 6,237,127) common shares.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company granted 2,188,000 stock options on November 16, 2018, to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis with an exercise price of $3.74 per share. The aggregate fair value of the stock options granted during 2018 was determined to be $3,211,765 (2017– $nil). These options will vest over a three-year period from the date of issue (34%, 33% and 33% per year, respectively) and have an expiry date of seven years from the date of issue.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted 1,664,852 stock options on November 18, 2019, to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis with an exercise price of $3.29 per share. The aggregate fair value of the stock options granted during 2019 was determined to be $2,391,393 (2018 – $3,211,765). These options will vest over a three-year period from the date of issue (34%, 33% and 33% per year, respectively) and have an expiry date of seven years from the date of issue.

The weighted average contractual life of the outstanding options as at December 31, 2019 was approximately, 6.4 years (2018– 7.0 years). The total number of stock options exercisable as at December 31, 2019 was 2,735,188 (2018 – 1,356,929). The total fair value of stock options that vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $1,748,958 (2018 – $706,866).

The fair value of the stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was estimated to be $1.4364 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: historical common share price volatility of 40%; remaining life of seven years; expected dividend yield of nil; and an annual risk free interest rate of 1.48%. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a total stock-based options compensation expense of approximately $1,995,347 (2018 – $681,412). The total compensation cost related to unvested options awards not yet recognized is approximately $3,185,813 (2018 – $2,936,556) and will be recognized over a remaining vesting period of 2.88 years (2018 – 2.88 years).

Fair value

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current assets and liabilities were as follows:

 

     2019      2018

     378,049,987        113,696,628  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. For securities, the valuations are based on quoted prices of the securities that are readily and regularly available in an active market, and accordingly, a significant degree of judgment is not required. As at December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities subsequently measured at fair value under the Level 1 category.

 

   

Level 2

Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the liabilities that are recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, are determined using Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices. As at December 31, 2019, the derivative financial instruments were measured at fair value under the Level 2 category on recognition. The derivative financial instruments are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 2 category.

December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

   

Level 3

Pricing inputs are generally unobservable for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using model based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The loans to related parties, the May 2019 Loans, the Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes and Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.

There were no significant transfers between levels during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the potential a counterparty will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from customers. The Company grants credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers but the concentration of the risk is minimized because of the large customer base and its dispersion across different payers. During the year, the Company may have deposits with financial institutions that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $23,388,916 (2018 – $19,326,412) and accounts receivable of $82,867,225 (2018 – $29,810,501).

Collectibility of the receivables is reviewed regularly and an allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses is established as necessary. Current economic conditions and historical collection experience are considered when determining whether to make an allowance. The same factors are considered when determining whether to write off amounts charged to the allowance for credit losses. The aging of these receivables, net of allowances, is as follows:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company may encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its financial commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk mainly with respect to the Senior Loans. The Company ensures there is sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts with financial institutions to hedge the value of foreign currency denominated assets. Gains and losses arising from these contracts offset the losses and gains from the underlying hedged transactions. As at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts that would expose the Company to currency risk.

 

Interest rate risk

  

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Changes in lending rates can cause fluctuations in interest payments and cash flows. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to alter the effects of this risk, except as noted in note 11. The Company is partly financed through May 2019 Loans, which bear interest at rates tied to the one-month LIBOR.

Variable interest rates on the Company’s debts are as follows:

May 2019 Loans    one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate

The following table shows the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effects on comprehensive income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of a 1% increase or decrease in the variable interest rates.

Settlement costs (recoveries)

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company experienced net settlement recoveries of approximately $1.9 million (2018 – settlement costs of $43,029) mainly related to two items.

 

  a)

During 2019, the Company settled certain claims affecting PMI relating to periods arising prior to August 9, 2017, the date the Company acquired PMI. As part of this settlement, the Company received approximately $4.1 million from the escrow fund maintained for the sellers of PMI as a result of indemnity claims under the purchase agreement for PMI to fully and finally settle the claims affecting PMI; and

 

  b)

During 2019, the Company received $0.5 million in an insurance claim related to Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Non-controlling interests

As part of the Texas Acquisition in 2017, certain of PMI’s subsidiaries acquired were non-wholly owned. As a result of operating agreements with each of the following non-wholly owned entities, the Company is deemed to have control over these entities and thus 100% of their financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated financial results.

A number of new standards, amendments and interpretations to standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and have not been early adopted by the Company. Those which may be relevant to the Company in future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions are set out below.

Definition of a Business – Amendments to IFRS 3: The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term ‘outputs’ is amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. The amendments will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations.

Definition of Material – Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: The IASB has made amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to use a consistent definition of materiality throughout IFRS and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, and clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information.

The Company intends to adopt these amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2020.

Subsequent events

 

  a)

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through its subsidiaries, one outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Coral Springs, Florida and one outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million.

These acquisitions were mostly financed through borrowing $3.2 million in December 2019 from the Company’s revolving credit facility under the May 2019 Credit Agreement. The Company continues to evaluate the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions.

 

  b)

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had 337,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 285,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

  c)

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019, a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most effected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q4 Fiscal 2019 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “The quarter ending December 31, 2019 represents a record quarter of financial performance. We generated, during the quarter, revenue of $77.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million. The cash balance at the end of 2019 was $23.4 million, an increase of $5.9 million, compared to our cash balance as at September 30, 2019. This increase in cash is partly due to stability in total days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) at 98 days, and a reduction in DSO excluding attorney/auto payors to 66 days from 77 days as at September 30, 2019”.

“Akumin’s volume in Q4 Fiscal 2019 was approximately 1,583,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 1,020,000 RVUs in Q4 Fiscal 2018, an increase of 55%. On an organic volume basis, RVUs increased by 5% compared to Q4 Fiscal 2018”. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

“We continue to monitor the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), as we know it is top of mind for our employees, patients, investors and other stakeholders. Shelter-in-place or self-isolation in response to containment or avoidance of this pandemic could impact a patient’s ability to seek imaging services which could have a significant impact on our volume leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, consolidation of our network of centers and other cost containment efforts.

 


“Being a healthcare facility providing essential and medically necessary services, it is imperative that we stay the course and remain committed to our mission of providing an important tool for diagnosing illnesses. As announced March 23, 2020, to help our communities in dealing with this pandemic, we have dedicated imaging centers in certain of our regions to focus specifically on patients who have an active case of COVID-19 or have similar symptoms. Each of our clinics is following CDC and local health authority guidelines relating to infectious disease protocols. We will continue our efforts to ensure our clinics remain a safe place for our employees and patients and an alternative to hospitals for essential imaging services”.

Akumin would like to invite interested parties to the Corporation’s Fourth Quarter and Year-End Fiscal 2019 Financial Results Call, to be held tomorrow, April 1, 2020, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, register here https://akum.in/AkuminFourthQuarter2019Results or dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. A related presentation will be available for download on Akumin’s website immediately prior to the call. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2019 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” and “Adjusted EPS – Diluted”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated March 30, 2020 available at www.sedar.com.

 

-2-


We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this press release constitutes forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Akumin as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2020, which is available at www.sedar.com. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Akumin; however, these factors should be considered carefully. There can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Akumin expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements containing any forward-looking information, or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated March 31, 2020 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

“EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

“Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;

 

   

general market conditions in our industry;

 

   

our ability to service existing debt;

 

   

our ability to acquire new centers and, upon acquisition, to successfully market and sell new services that we acquire;

 

   

our ability to achieve the financing necessary to complete our acquisitions;

 

   

our ability to enforce any claims relating to breaches of indemnities or representations and warranties in connection with any acquisitions;

 

   

market conditions in the capital markets and our industry that make raising capital or consummating acquisitions difficult, expensive or both, or which may disrupt our annual operating budget and forecasts;

 

   

unanticipated cash requirements to support current operations, to expand our business or for capital expenditures;

 

   

delays or setbacks with respect to governmental approvals, or manufacturing or commercial activities;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations;

 

   

the loss of key management or personnel;

 

   

the risk that the Company is not able to arrange sufficient, cost-effective financing to repay maturing debt and to fund expenditures, future operational activities and acquisitions, and other obligations; and

 

   

the risks associated with legislative and regulatory developments that may affect costs, revenues, the speed and degree of competition entering the market, global capital markets activity and general economic conditions in geographic areas where we operate.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    4


   

a stable competitive environment; and

 

   

no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Overview

We are a provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with freestanding centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies in the United States provides for long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

 

     As at      As at      As at      As at      As at  
     Dec 31, 2019      Dec 31, 2018      Dec 31, 2017      Sep 30, 2016      Sep 30, 2015

     129        96        74        39        14  

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    5


Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

 

   

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, other payors, and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

 

   

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements.

The Company initially adopted IFRS 16, Leases, as at January 1, 2019, with modified retrospective application, which does not require restatement of prior period results. Please refer to note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Davie Acquisition

On April 1, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Davie, Florida for cash consideration of $450 (“Davie Acquisition”). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $50 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) was withheld as security for indemnity obligations and was released to the seller on October 1, 2019. This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

ADG Acquisitions

On April 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had, through a subsidiary, entered into purchase agreements to acquire 27 imaging centers (Florida—21 and Georgia—6) operated under Advanced Diagnostics Group (ADG), The Imaging Centers of West Palm and Elite Radiology of Georgia. All of these centers were managed by ADG’s management team. On May 31, 2019, the Company announced the closing of these acquisitions. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADG Acquisition Holdings, Inc., TIC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC (the “ADG Acquisitions”).

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    8


The total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (excluding earn-out, including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $217.6 million, of which $25 million was satisfied by the issuance of 6.25 million common shares of the Company at a price of $4.00 per share in accordance with the purchase agreements. The balance of this purchase price was mostly financed through the May 2019 Loans. For accounting purposes, the equity consideration was valued based on the share price at the close of May 31, 2019 ($23.4 million at $3.75 per share). Hence, the adjusted total purchase price for the ADG Acquisitions at closing (excluding earn-out, including preliminary working capital adjustments and payment for cash acquired) was approximately $216.0 million. Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, the cash purchase price was reduced by approximately $0.2 million due to working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the acquisition of SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC is subject to an earn-out based on annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs (“ADG Acquisition earn-out”, estimated at approximately $15 million as of December 31, 2019). These acquisitions were an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida and enter the Georgia market.

Deltona Acquisition

On May 31, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Deltona, Florida for a cash consideration of approximately $648 (“Deltona Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale across Florida.

El Paso Acquisition

On August 16, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, five outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in El Paso, Texas for a cash consideration of $11,000 (“El Paso Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale in Texas.

West Palm Beach Acquisition

On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, three outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in West Palm Beach, Florida for a cash consideration of approximately $17,870 (“West Palm Beach Acquisition”). This acquisition was an opportunity for the Company to increase its economies of scale in Florida.

e)

During November 2017, the Company issued 32,013 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $3.50 per common share. These warrants were not exercised into common shares and expired on November 14, 2019.

Subsequent Events

 

a)

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through its subsidiaries, one outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Coral Springs, Florida and one outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Crystal Lake, Illinois for cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million.

These acquisitions were mostly financed through borrowing $3.2 million in December 2019 from the Company’s revolving credit facility under the May 2019 Credit Agreement.

 

b)

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had 337,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 285,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

c)

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019, a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most effected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services.

Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the year ended December 31, 2019 were 5,247 (in thousands) compared to 3,291 in the year ended December 31, 2018. In fiscal 2018, the Company completed the Tampa Acquisition effective May 11, 2018, the Rose Acquisition effective August 15, 2018, the Kissimmee Acquisition effective November 1, 2018 and the Broward Acquisition effective November 9, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Acquisitions”). In fiscal 2019, the Company completed the Davie Acquisition effective April 1, 2019, the ADG Acquisitions effective May 31, 2019, the Deltona Acquisition effective May 31, 2019, the El Paso Acquisition effective August 16, 2019 and the West Palm Beach Acquisition effective October 4, 2019 (collectively, the “2019 Acquisitions”). Pro-rating the 2018 Acquisitions and excluding the 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 3,481 in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 3,276 in the year ended December 31, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 6%. The Company continues to experience volume growth across multiple markets in which it operates.

Revenue was $247,436 and $154,782 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the year ended December 31, 2019, approximately 25% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 10% in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 37% to 35% in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease is mainly attributable to the 2018 and 2019 Acquisitions.

Reading fees. For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 13% to 14%. This increase is a result of the 2018 and 2019 Acquisitions.

Rent and utilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 11% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is mainly attributable to the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 10% of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the year December 31, 2019, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 8%, compared to 7% in the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2018 and 2019 Acquisitions.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 9% to 8% of revenue, partly due to the fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 9% of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $59,813 compared to $31,775 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the NCI Acquisitions, the 2018 Acquisitions, the 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 24% compared to 21% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The higher margin was mainly due to the ADG Acquisitions.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $6,541 (3% of revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2019 and net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $5,000 (3% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions, partly offset by income tax expense of $2,793 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to an income tax recovery of $1,527 in 2018.

Volume and revenue. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 were 1,583 (in thousands) compared to 1,020 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. Pro-rating the 2018 Kissimmee Acquisition and Broward Acquisition and excluding the 2019 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 1,072 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to 1,016 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, which represents an increase of approximately 5%. The Company continues to experience volume growth across multiple markets in which it operates.

Revenue was $77,026 and $45,452 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2019, approximately 29% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 13% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 42% to 33% in the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributed to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions, and incentive-based cash compensation paid to management in the three-months ended December 31, 2018 which had previously not been accrued (please refer to “one-time adjustments” noted below).

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 13% to 14%. This increase is a result of the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, rent and utilities decreased from 11% to 4% of revenue. This decrease is mainly attributable to the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, rent and utilities would have been 9% of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2019, third party services and professional fees, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 6% to 8% of revenue compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. The increase is partly due to the 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions and reclassification of certain costs as non-operating expenses (please refer to “one-time adjustments” noted below).

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2018, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses decreased from 9% to 8% of revenue partly due to fixed nature of certain costs and the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding the impact of adoption of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses would have been 8% of revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2019.

One-time adjustments. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 the one-time adjustments were $nil compared to $777 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. These adjustments related to: (i) the incentive-based cash compensation for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 which had previously not been accrued and was paid to management in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018; and (ii) reclassification of certain third party services and professional fees as non-operating expenses that related to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 but were reclassified in the three-month period ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for three-month ended December 31, 2019 was $20,231 compared to $9,200 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. The variance is mainly attributable to the 2018 Acquisitions, the 2019 Acquisitions and increased contribution from the legacy Florida operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the thee-month period ended December 31, 2019 was 26% compared to 20% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018. The higher margin was mainly due to the ADG Acquisitions.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $3,255 (4% of revenue) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 and net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 was $2,210 (5% of revenue). This increase in net income is mainly due to timing of the above noted 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions, partly offset by income tax expense of $2,645 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 compare to an income tax recovery of $1,854 in three-month period ended December 31, 2018.

Total debt consists of borrowing under the credit facility, subordinated debt, subordinated debt-earn-out, Wesley Chapel Loan and lease liabilities (including finance leases and other leases), including both the current and non-current portions.

Cash was $23,389 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $4,063, as compared to $19,326 as at December 31, 2018. The increase in cash during the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to $19,859 and $215,311 provided by operating activities and financing activities, respectively, partly offset by $231,107 used in investing activities.

Accounts receivable were $82,867 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $53,056, as compared to $29,811 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly due to (a) $27,814 of accounts receivable recognized in the purchase price allocations for Rose Acquisition, Kissimmee Acquisition, Broward Acquisition, ADG Acquisitions, El Paso Acquisition and West Palm Beach Acquisition and (b) growth in revenue due to 2018 Acquisitions and 2019 Acquisitions.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company’s days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) were approximately 98 days (approximately 98 days at September 30, 2019). Excluding attorney/auto payors, DSO were approximately 66 days (approximately 77 days at September 30, 2019). The stability in total DSO and the improvement in the DSO excluding attorney/auto payors as at December 31, 2019 relative to September 30, 2019, are mainly due to improved collections in the quarter as the Company continues to focus on integrating previously announced acquisitions onto its revenue cycle platform. The stability in total DSO has occurred despite contribution from the following items during the three-month period ended December 31, 2019 (as compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2019): (a) higher revenue contribution mainly due to El Paso Acquisition and West Palm Beach Acquisition; (b) increase in accounts receivable acquired due to the West Palm Beach Acquisition and (c) higher proportion of revenue mix from attorney/auto payors with a longer collection cycle, partly offset by collections in the quarter.

Property and equipment was $199,624 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $144,056, as compared to $55,568 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to property and equipment recognized in the purchase price allocations for Davie Acquisition ($598), ADG Acquisitions ($28,135), Deltona Acquisition ($449), El Paso Acquisition ($7,606) and West Palm Beach Acquisition (16,058), right of use assets recognized upon adoption of IFRS 16 ($98,744), additions to right of use assets ($3,585), and capital expenditures ($17,099) partly offset by depreciation ($26,317) and net disposals ($1,900).

Intangible assets were $9,387 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $5,718, as compared to $3,669 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly due to intangible assets recognized in the purchase price allocations for ADG Acquisitions ($5,870), El Paso Acquisition ($720) and West Palm Beach Acquisition ($1,080), partly offset by amortization recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $342,222 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $211,682 of as compared to $130,540 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to goodwill recognized from the 2019 Acquisitions, partly offset by a reduction in goodwill of $5,105 mainly due to accounts receivable recognized in 2019 in the purchase price allocation for the Rose Acquisition, the Kissimmee Acquisition and the Broward Acquisition.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    15


Total debt (excluding other lease liabilities) was $350,436 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $232,929 as compared to $117,507 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to May 2019 Loans proceeds ($354,114), non-cash interest accretion ($1,928), loss on revaluation upon settlement of Syndicated Loans and subordinated note ($1,850), loss on revaluation of derivative financial instruments liability ($952), loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($15) and increase in finance lease liabilities ($4,238), partly offset by loan repayments ($113,887), repayment of subordinated note ($1,500) and debt issuance costs ($14,781).

The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $138,692 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $34,754 as compared to $103,938 as at December 31, 2018. This increase is due to issuance of $23,437 in common shares related to the ADG Acquisitions, $1,311 in warrants exercised, stock-based compensation of $3,555 and net income of $6,451 earned by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Non-controlling interests were $2,904 as at December 31, 2019, an increase of $437, as compared to $2,467 as at December 31, 2018. The non-controlling interests are associated with the Texas Acquisition. In the year ended December 31, 2019, net income attributable to the non-controlling interests was $2,200, partly offset by distributions of $1,763.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such issuances are noted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $23,389.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had $350,436 of senior loans payable, derivative financial instruments liability, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of December 31, 2019, $5,496 of these liabilities are due within one year.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    18


As at December 31, 2019, we had other lease liabilities of $128,684, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of December 31, 2019, $9,151 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $8,415. As of December 31, 2019, $1,790 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019 the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (“Term Loan A”, “Term Loan B” and collectively, “Term Loans”) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which $3,300 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the “May 2019 Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loans, the “May 2019 Loans”). $16,000 of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn (in addition to approximately $1,300 under the May 2019 Revolving Facility) by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance an acquisition near West Palm Beach, Florida. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance the ADG Acquisition and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. In August 2019, the Company used $11 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance the El Paso Acquisition and in December 2019, the Company used $3.2 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance two small acquisitions undertaken in January 2020 in Florida and Illinois. As at December 31, 2019, this credit facility had a balance of $22.1 million.

Syndicated Loans

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (the “Syndicated Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of five financial institutions. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan (“Syndicated Term Loan”) of $100,000 (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $30,000, of which, $11,900 was utilized as of May 30, 2019 (the “Syndicated Revolving Facility”, and together with the “Syndicated Term Loan”, the “Syndicated Loans”). The Syndicated Loans could be increased by an additional $40,000 subject to certain conditions. The Company used $11,900 of the Syndicated Revolving Facility to partly finance the Broward Acquisition and the Kissimmee Acquisition. The proceeds of the Syndicated Term Loan were used to completely settle the August 2017 Term Loan for $74,635, finance the Rose Acquisition, and pay related debt issuance costs. Management determined the fair value of the Syndicated Term Loan to be its face value of $100,000, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.2 million.

In accordance with the terms of the Syndicated Loans, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to refinance the Syndicated Loans on May 31, 2019 for $112,482 (face value of $111,900 and accrued interest and related fees of $582). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $1,843 on the extinguishment of the Syndicated Loans, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    19


Wesley Chapel Loan

As part of the Rose Acquisition, the Company, through a subsidiary, assumed a senior secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of December 31, 2019, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,514 (amortized cost of $1,447).

Subordinated Note Payable

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019 together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596 (face value of $1,500 and accrued interest of $96). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $7 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note—Earn-out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note—Earn-out was revalued at $184 as at December 31, 2019 and the change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, loans to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the loans to related parties, May 2019 Loans, Syndicated Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition-earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract (further amended on November 22, 2019), with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the May 2019 Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000 as at July 31, 2019) with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of July 31, 2022, and (ii) a floor rate of 1.4825% (LIBOR) per annum and a termination date of October 31, 2021. During February 2020, the Company amended this interest rate collar contract by reducing the floor rate to 1.1475% (LIBOR) and extending the termination date to July 31, 2022.

The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition-earn-out, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. Refer to note 17 of our December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding risk management arising from financial instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of approximately $181 as at December 31, 2019.

Share Information

As of the date of this MD&A, we have 70,125,928 common shares issued and outstanding. If all of the stock options of the Company that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to our stock option plan were to be exercised, including options that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 5,778,120 common shares, or approximately 8.24% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

In addition, if all of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to the RSU plan of the Company were to be exercised, we would be required to issue up to an additional 52,500 common shares, or approximately 0.07% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Further, as of the date of this MD&A, there are 525,000 warrants to purchase common shares which are issued and outstanding. If those warrants were to be exercised, we would be required to issue an additional 525,000 common shares, or approximately 0.75% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

On February 9, 2018, the Company announced that certain senior officers and directors of the Company acquired an aggregate of 532,857 common shares of the Company at $3.50 per share for total cash consideration of $1,865. The shares were acquired pursuant to a previous exercise of a call option by Z Strategies Inc., a corporation controlled by Riadh Zine, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The call option was entered into in connection with Akumin US’s acquisition of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC effective August 9, 2017 at the request of certain selling securityholders

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    21


of Preferred Medical Imaging, LLC. On February 8, 2018, Akumin US agreed to lend an aggregate of $500 to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary (collectively, “the Pledgors”) in connection with the purchase by such officers of a total of approximately 142,857 common shares under that call option, as nominees of Z Strategies Inc. This loan charged interest at 6% per annum and was payable on maturity at February 8, 2021. The borrowing officers of the Company granted a security interest in the common shares purchased by them with the loan proceeds in favour of Akumin Corp. During 2019, the Pledgors completely paid off this loan and accrued interest and the security was released.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at net realizable value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

 

AKUMIN INC  |  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  |  2019    22


Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and other payors for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Unless otherwise noted or the context requires:

 

  a)

all references in this annual information form (the “Annual Information Form”) to the “Company”, “Akumin”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Akumin Inc., together with our subsidiaries and other consolidating entities, on a consolidated basis, as of the date hereof;

Non-IFRS Measures

This Annual Information Form makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    1


may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to Shareholders before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related costs and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expenses), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for Fiscal 2019, which section is incorporated by reference herein, for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Affiliated Physicians Groups

In some states, our Company is affiliated with medical practices organized in traditional practice group structures which operate certain of our imaging clinics. In accordance with applicable state laws, these affiliated practice groups are responsible for the provision of medical care to patients at the imaging centers operated by those affiliated practice groups. Most of our other imaging centers are organized as independent diagnostic testing facilities or “IDTFs”. Our affiliated practice groups are separate legal entities organized under state law generally as limited liability companies but could also be organized as business corporations, professional associations, professional corporations or partnerships. Each of our affiliated physician groups is owned by one or more licensed physicians affiliated with the Company through employment or another contractual relationship.

Our affiliated physician practices employ or engage radiologists and other medical professionals to provide clinical services at certain of our imaging centers. In most of our affiliated physician groups, the physicians who own the equity in the affiliated physician group have entered into a contractual relationship with the Company which provide for restrictions on the transfer of such equity interest.

Further, many states have laws that prohibit or restrict the ability for business corporations, such as Akumin, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians, or engaging in certain arrangements, such as fee splitting, with physicians. In light of these restrictions, we operate certain of our imaging centers by maintaining long-term administrative of management services contracts through our subsidiaries with affiliated physician groups. Under the terms of these services contracts, our subsidiary has been engaged as the exclusive manager and provider of the affiliated physician group’s administrative and non-clinical affairs. Subject to applicable state laws and other regulations, our subsidiary provides services as manager for the affiliated physician group such as, which services typically include billing patients and third-party payors, providing and maintaining medical equipment and, procuring non-clinical staff and performing other back-office administrative services. Under the terms of our management agreements with the affiliated physician groups, Akumin, or its affiliate, is typically paid for its services based on the performance of the applicable affiliated physician group. Our subsidiaries do not represent that they offer medical services and do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by the physicians employed or engaged by the affiliated physician groups.

The Business

Overview of Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with freestanding centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders, thereby reducing the need for unnecessary invasive procedures and contributing to lower costs and better outcomes for patients. Our imaging procedures include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

Business Model

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies in the United States provides for deep, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

We manage our business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services. We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our centers. For Fiscal 2019, we generated revenue from continued operations of approximately $247 million.

Note: Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are recorded in ‘000s.

Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Centers

As of December 31, 2019, we operated 129 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the United States spread across Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers offer diagnostic imaging for referring physicians, as well as diagnostic imaging related to personal injury protection. We provide a full range of medical imaging services, including MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

The following table shows the number of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers of Akumin as at each given date:

Number of Diagnostic Imaging Facilities

Future Growth

We have a strategic and thoughtful approach to growth that is focused on profitability over the long term.

Our planned growth will be comprised of organic growth as well as opportunistic acquisitions. We expect the near term focus of our acquisition growth will be in the markets where we currently maintain a significant foothold.

Organic growth will be a combination of marketing and operational focus to increase volumes in our existing clinics as well as opening new clinics in our key markets. Additionally, where market demand subsists, we will consider adding modalities in centers that are currently only single or dual modality centers. We expect multi-modality centers to help diversify risk while contributing positively to our margins.

We also expect to focus on key markets and to build geographic density within those markets to help us work closely with the insurance payors with whom we conduct business.

To attain growth and offer a competitive differentiator in key markets, we will also consider replacing or adding new technologies and equipment. While reimbursement rates may not change with newer equipment, we believe this strategy will offer us a market advantage which will ultimately lead to increased volumes. An example of this is our investment in 3D digital mammography, which is now being reimbursed by many of the large national insurance payors in addition to Medicare.

See “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in this Annual Information Form.

Seasonality

The seasonality in our business usually leads to lower first calendar quarter revenue and profitability from typically weaker utilization of services. Our business is also affected by the hurricane season which may impact our operations in coastal regions, particularly in Florida, albeit the Company seeks to mitigate disruptions as a result of hurricane damage through insurance coverage. Our geographic diversification across the Northeast, Southeast and Central United States helps to diminish such seasonality risks.

Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our centers, the location of our centers and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

Compliance and Internal Controls

The Company is subject to a range of state and federal regulatory laws and statutes. Compliance and related internal controls are managed by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, who chairs the Company’s Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee has oversight with respect to the following matters:

 

   

audit compliance in marketing, operations, billing, clinical, information technology, exclusions checks, human resources and quarterly compliance checks vis-à-vis the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (the “HIPAA”). These audits encompass members of our leadership teams within these areas and provide information related to compliance with specific statutes, including the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the “Stark Law” and the state equivalent of the Stark Law and other similar statutes. The Compliance Committee analyzes this information to recommend and implement solutions;

 

   

risk analysis for each of above areas (completed quarterly). This analysis focuses on regulatory compliance and is used for building the structure of audits for each area. Items identified are assigned scores which include likelihood of occurrence, resulting impact of occurrence and trending data for mitigating risk;

 

   

oversight to investigations and trends within compliance program (ongoing). The Chief Compliance Officer guides his team regarding investigations and, where appropriate, completes these investigations directly and reports findings to both the Compliance Committee and the Compliance Board;

 

   

review and modify policies and procedures, as needed (ongoing); and

 

   

review and modify company training (ongoing).

The Company’s compliance program also includes annual training for Compliance Committee members, a compliance hotline and compliance management software.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    9


The Company’s internal controls for mitigating regulatory risk include:

 

   

policies and procedures which address specific compliance issues, including marketing, operations, and compliance with specific statutes such as the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, the Stark Law and other similar statutes;

 

   

training and education of employees on prevention of fraud and abuse, including with respect to HIPAA. One of the basic tools of this training is our Code of Conduct;

 

   

employee-specific training provided for different job titles within the Company to address risks pertaining to their role;

 

   

training provided to employees through our compliance management software platform which provides information including training reports for individual employees;

 

   

management of a company-wide compliance hotline. Employees are trained to use it any time they see or suspect compliance issues. This hotline is available via phone, email, and fax and employees can maintain complete anonymity without fear of retaliation;

 

   

having a Compliance Committee and a Compliance Board; and

 

   

having a Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance staff.

Employees

As at December 31, 2019, we have approximately 1,737 employees.

We employ site managers who are responsible for overseeing day-to-day and routine operations at each of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, including staffing, modality and schedule coordination, referring physician and patient relations and ordering of materials. These site managers report to regional directors, who are responsible for oversight of the operations of all outpatient diagnostic imaging centers within their region, including operations, marketing and contracting. The regional directors, along with our directors of contracting, marketing, facilities, management/purchasing and human resources all report to our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and our medical directors report directly to our President and Chief Executive Officer.

None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have had no labour-related work stoppages.

Environmental and Corporate Responsibility

Management seeks to keep individual and collective exposure to doses of radioactive materials and radiation sources “as low as reasonably achievable” (or “ALARA”). The ALARA approach focuses on actively seeking out methods to minimize radiation exposure.

In addition to having established written policies, procedures and instructions to foster the ALARA concept within the Company, we have a dedicated Radiation Safety Officer (“RSO”). The RSO performs quarterly and annual reviews and implements changes driven by regulatory or industry requirements.

Modifications to procedures, equipment and facilities that could reduce radiation exposure are considered and reviewed by the RSO with management annually. In addition to maintaining doses to individuals ALARA, the sum of the doses received by all exposed individuals are also maintained ALARA. The RSO reviews the results of personnel monitoring every quarter and addresses any increased levels.

Radioactive material licenses issued to Akumin are maintained by the RSO and reviewed by a contracted licensed medical physicist every quarter. The radioactive materials held by the Company for equipment calibration and patient use are of low level. None of our facilities release radioactive material into the environment. All radioactive waste is held for storage in-house and decayed to background level prior to disposal.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    10


Our board of directors (“Board”) has also adopted a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries’ integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behaviour. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board has ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct and monitors compliance through our Governance Committee. Directors, officers and employees are required to annually certify that they have not violated the Code of Conduct.

Risk Factors

The following specific factors could materially adversely affect us and should be considered when deciding whether to make an investment in Akumin and the Common Shares. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Information Form and the information incorporated by reference herein are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the following risks, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of the Common Shares could be materially and adversely affected. In all these cases, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline, and prospective investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our strategy to grow our business through acquisitions is subject to significant risks.

A key component of our strategy to grow our business is to complete additional outpatient diagnostic imaging center acquisitions to expand our product range and increase our revenues. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon our ability to enter into acquisition agreements that we believe are consistent with our business strategy. Risks in acquiring new outpatient diagnostic imaging centers include: (a) our ability to locate new centers that are attractive and complement our business; and (b) our ability to acquire these centers at attractive acquisition prices. We also face competition from other outpatient diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive products on acceptable terms. Accordingly, we may not be able to acquire rights to additional outpatient diagnostic imaging centers on acceptable terms, if at all. Further, we may not be able to obtain future financing for new acquisitions on acceptable terms, if at all. Our inability to complete acquisitions of additional outpatient diagnostic imaging centers could limit the overall growth of our business.

We experience competition from other outpatient diagnostic imaging companies and hospitals, and this competition could adversely affect our revenue and business.

The market for outpatient diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our centers, the location of our centers and the quality of our outpatient diagnostic imaging services. We compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment. Our competitors include, among others: Radnet, Inc., Alliance Healthcare Services, Inc., Diagnostic Imaging Group, InSight Health Services Corp. and American Radiology Services. Some of our competitors may now or in the future have access to greater financial resources than we do and may have access to newer, more advanced equipment. In addition, some physician practices have established their own outpatient diagnostic imaging centers within their group practices and compete with us. We are experiencing increased competition as a result of such activities, and if we are unable to successfully compete, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    11


Our failure to integrate the businesses we acquire successfully and on a timely basis could reduce our profitability.

We may never realize expected synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects in connection with our acquisitions. We may experience increased competition that limits our ability to expand our business. We may not be able to capitalize on expected business opportunities, assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings may be inaccurate, or general industry and business conditions may deteriorate. In addition, integrating operations will require significant efforts and expenses on our part. Personnel may leave or be terminated because of an acquisition. Our management may have its attention diverted while trying to integrate an acquisition. If these factors limit our ability to integrate the operations of an acquisition successfully or on a timely basis, our expectations of future results of operations, including certain cost savings and synergies as a result of the acquisition, may not be met. In addition, our growth and operating strategies for a target’s business may be different from the strategies that the target company pursued prior to our acquisition. If our strategies are not the proper strategies, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to generate revenue depends in large part on referrals from physicians.

A significant reduction in physician referrals would have a negative impact on our business. We derive substantially all of our net revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our centers. We depend on referrals of patients from unaffiliated physicians and other third parties who have no contractual obligations to refer patients to us for a substantial portion of the services we perform. If a sufficiently large number of these physicians and other third parties were to discontinue referring patients to us, our scan volume could decrease, which would reduce our net revenue and operating margins. Further, commercial third-party payors have implemented programs that could limit the ability of physicians to refer patients to us. For example, prepaid healthcare plans, such as health maintenance organizations, sometimes contract directly with providers and require their enrollees to obtain these services exclusively from those providers. Some insurance companies and self-insured employers also limit these services to contracted providers. These “closed panel” systems are now common in the managed care environment. Other systems create an economic disincentive for referrals to providers outside the system’s designated panel of providers. If we are unable to compete successfully for these managed care contracts, our results and prospects for growth could be adversely affected.

Pressure to control healthcare costs could have a negative impact on our results.

One of the principal objectives of health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations is to control the cost of healthcare services. Healthcare providers participating in managed care plans may be required to refer diagnostic imaging tests to certain providers depending on the plan in which a covered patient is enrolled. In addition, managed care contracting has become very competitive, and reimbursement schedules are at or below Medicare reimbursement levels. The expansion of health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care organizations within the geographic areas covered by our network could have a negative impact on the utilization and pricing of our services, because these organizations will exert greater control over patients’ access to diagnostic imaging services, the selections of the provider of such services and reimbursement rates for those services.

If our contracted radiology practices lose a significant number of radiologists, our financial results could be adversely affected.

At times, there has been a shortage of qualified radiologists in some of the regional markets we serve. In addition, competition in recruiting radiologists may make it difficult for our contracted radiology practices to maintain adequate levels of radiologists. If a significant number of radiologists terminate their relationships with our contracted radiology practices and those radiology practices cannot recruit sufficient qualified radiologists to fulfill their obligations under our agreements with them, our ability to maximize the use of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers and our financial results could be adversely affected. Neither we, nor our contracted radiology practices, maintain insurance on the lives of any affiliated physicians.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    12


We may become subject to professional malpractice liability, which could be costly and negatively impact our business.

The physicians employed by our contracted radiology practices are from time to time subject to malpractice claims. We structure our relationships with radiologists in a manner that we believe does not constitute the practice of medicine by us or subject us to professional malpractice claims for acts or omissions of physicians employed by the contracted radiology practices. Nevertheless, claims, suits or complaints relating to services provided by the contracted radiology practices have been asserted against us in the past and may be asserted against us in the future. In addition, we may be subject to professional liability claims, including, without limitation, for improper use or malfunction of our outpatient diagnostic imaging equipment or for accidental contamination or injury from exposure to radiation. We may not be able to maintain adequate liability insurance to protect us against those claims at acceptable costs or at all.

Any claim made against us that is not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend, result in a substantial damage award against us and divert the attention of our management from our operations, all of which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, successful claims against us may adversely affect our business or reputation.

We may not be able to enforce claims with respect to the representations, warranties and indemnities that the sellers of any diagnostic imaging center we acquire have provided to us under the respective purchase agreements.

In connection with our acquisitions, the sellers have given certain representations, warranties and indemnities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce any claims against those sellers’ breaches of such representations, warranties or indemnities. The sellers’ liability with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties and indemnities under the respective purchase agreement may be limited. Even if we ultimately succeed in recovering any amounts, we may temporarily be required to bear these losses ourselves.

We may not be able to secure additional financing which may impair our ability to complete future acquisitions.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funding that we will need to carry out our business objectives and to complete outpatient diagnostic imaging center acquisitions. The development of our business depends upon prevailing capital market conditions, our business performance and our ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the financing we require as and when needed or at all in order to complete future acquisitions. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from treasury, Control of the Company may change and Shareholders may suffer additional dilution.

We do not independently own all of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers.

Healthcare laws and regulations in the United States may impact our ability to operate or own our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, thereby necessitating the use of partnerships, joint ventures and other management services frameworks. The Company may be required to deal with such diverse operating or ownership frameworks. In addition, from time to time, the Company may decide to use cash to restructure its arrangements with fellow owners, managers or operators.

We may engage in litigation with our partners and contractors.

The nature of our relationships with our partners and contractors may give rise to litigation or disputes. In the ordinary course of business, we are the subject of complaints or litigation. We may also engage in future litigation to enforce the terms of our agreements and compliance with our brand standards as determined necessary to protect our brand, the consistency of our services and the consumer experience. Engaging in such litigation may be costly and time-consuming and may distract management and materially adversely affect our relationships with our partners and contractors or potential partners and contractors and our ability to attract new partners and contractors. Any negative outcome of these or any other claims could materially adversely affect our results of operations, as well as our ability to increase our number of partners and contractors and may damage our reputation and brand. Furthermore, existing and future legislation could subject us to additional litigation risk in the event we are required by such legislation to terminate or fail to renew a partner or contractor or not succeed in revising the contracts related to such relationships to comply with changes to legislation.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    13


The regulatory framework in which we operate is uncertain and evolving.

Healthcare laws and regulations may change significantly in the future. We continuously monitor these developments and modify our operations from time to time as the regulatory environment changes. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will be able to adapt our operations to address new regulations or that new regulations will not adversely affect our business. In addition, although we believe that we are operating in compliance with applicable federal and state laws, neither our current or anticipated business operations nor the operations of the contracted radiology practices have been the subject of judicial or regulatory interpretation. We cannot provide assurance that a review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change in a way that restricts our operations.

Certain states have enacted statutes or adopted regulations affecting risk assumption in the healthcare industry, including statutes and regulations that subject any physician or physician network engaged in risk-based managed care contracting to applicable insurance laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, if adopted in the states in which we operate, may require physicians and physician networks to meet minimum capital requirements and other safety and soundness requirements. Implementing additional regulations or compliance requirements could result in substantial costs to us and the contracted radiology practices and limit our ability to enter into risk-sharing managed care arrangements.

We have structured the fees payable to our subsidiaries by our affiliated practice groups in such a manner that we believe complies with applicable federal, state and local laws. Although the relevant laws have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation, we believe that we are in compliance with applicable state laws in relation to the corporate practice of medicine. However, regulatory authorities or other parties may assert that despite these management arrangements between our subsidiaries and affiliated physician groups, we or our manager subsidiaries are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or that the contractual arrangements with the affiliated physician groups constitute unlawful fee splitting or another violation of corporate practice of medicine rules. Should such an event occur, we or our affiliated physician groups could be subject to administrative, civil or criminal remedies or penalties, our management services contracts could be found to be legally invalid and unenforceable, in whole or in part, or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements with our affiliated physician groups.

Complying with federal and state regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.

We are directly, or indirectly through the radiology practices with which we contract, subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the state governments in which we and/or they provide services, including:

 

   

the federal civil False Claims Act;

 

   

the federal Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback laws, state anti-kickback prohibitions, and regulations promulgated under each of the foregoing;

 

   

the federal Civil Monetary Penalties law and regulations;

 

   

federal and state billing and claims submission and other insurance laws and regulations;

 

   

the federal HIPAA law and comparable state laws;

 

   

the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the “Stark Law” and the state equivalents of the Stark Law;

 

   

state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians and prohibit fee-splitting arrangements involving physicians;

 

   

laws relating to practitioner and provider licensure;

 

   

laws relating to medical malpractice;

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    14


   

federal and state laws governing the diagnostic imaging and therapeutic equipment we use in our business concerning patient safety, equipment operating specifications and radiation exposure levels; and

 

   

state laws governing reimbursement for diagnostic services related to services compensable under workers compensation rules.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations to which we or the radiology practices with which we contract are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines or curtailment of our operations, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risks of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations and such laws and regulations may apply to businesses acquired from time to time by Akumin, in addition to Akumin’s business.

Additionally, prior to our acquisition of Akumin Texas, Preferred Imaging Centers, LLC (“PIC”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akumin Texas which was merged into Akumin Texas effective September 30, 2017, was the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) premised upon an allegation that PIC and its affiliates violated U.S. federal law by performing and billing for certain imaging services without on-site physician supervision. In or about June, 2016, PIC entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations, which included PIC paying $3,510,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. PIC’s CIA expires June 29, 2021. Also, prior to our acquisition of the imaging centers operated by Rose Radiology, Rose Radiology (through its predecessor, Rose Radiology Centers, Inc.) was the subject of an investigation by the DOJ premised upon allegations that Rose Radiology violated the False Claims Act for billing Medicare and other federal programs for ineligible procedures and certain other healthcare laws. Upon our acquisition of Rose Radiology’s assets, Rose Radiology, a physician-owned radiology practice, retained Akumin as its manager for administrative and other non-clinical matters. In or about December, 2015, Rose Radiology entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations which included Rose Radiology paying $8,710,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a CIA. Rose Radiology’s CIA expires December 29, 2020.

Given the broad powers of the DOJ and other federal agencies, there can be no assurance that the obligations of Akumin Texas and Rose Radiology pursuant to their respective CIAs, or otherwise, will not be expanded to cover all or a greater portion of Akumin’s operations. Any action brought against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, suffer reputational harm and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

Federal and state privacy and information security laws are complex, and if we fail to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, or if we fail to properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems, or defend against cybersecurity attacks, we may be subject to government or private actions due to privacy and security breaches, and our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

We must comply with numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, dissemination, access, use, security and privacy of individually identifiable protected health information, including HIPAA. If we fail to comply with applicable privacy and security laws, regulations and standards, properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems, or defend against cybersecurity attacks, our business, reputation, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Information security risks have significantly increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct our operations, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties, including foreign state agents. Our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential, proprietary and other information in our computer systems and networks.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    15


We are continuously implementing multiple layers of security measures through technology, processes, and our people; utilize current security technologies; and our defenses are monitored and tested internally and by external parties. Despite these efforts, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to privacy and security incidents; security attacks and breaches; acts of vandalism or theft; computer viruses; coordinated attacks by activist entities; emerging cybersecurity risks; misplaced or lost data; programming and/or human errors; or other similar events. Emerging and advanced security threats, including coordinated attacks, require additional layers of security which may disrupt or impact efficiency of operations.

We may not receive payment from some of our healthcare provider customers because of their financial circumstances or other contractual or legal disputes.

Some of our healthcare provider customers do not have significant financial resources, liquidity or access to capital. If these customers experience financial difficulties or if there arises a contractual or other legal dispute to which they are party, they may be unable to pay us for the equipment and services that we provide. A significant deterioration in general or local economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial health of certain of our healthcare provider customers. As a result, we may have to increase the amounts of accounts receivable that we write-off, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant liabilities which require us to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in order to make mandated payments of principal and interest.

We have incurred significant liabilities in connection with the acquisition of our current medical imaging centers. Our ability to repay these liabilities will be contingent upon our success in achieving sufficient revenues from these medical imaging centers to be able to make payments of principal and interest against this debt when due and payable. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure future additional financing to repay our current credit facilities should cash flows from operations be insufficient to repay these liabilities. Our inability to repay outstanding debt when due would have a material adverse impact on our business.

Liquidity Risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its financial commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk mainly with respect to its credit facilities. The Company seeks to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

We may not be able to continue to meet certain covenants under our credit facilities and our inability to meet these covenants could result in acceleration of our long-term liabilities.

Our credit facilities require us to maintain specified collateral coverage and satisfy financial covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet certain covenants under our existing credit facilities. A failure to meet such covenants could result in our lenders seeking to enforce their rights under such credit facilities, which include acceleration of payments and enforcement of security interests. This may negatively affect our financial condition, business and operating results. Our credit facilities also contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

 

   

create, incur or assume certain liens;

 

   

create, incur or assume additional indebtedness;

 

   

make or hold certain investments;

 

   

merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate with or into another person;

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    16


   

declare or make certain payments, including dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock;

 

   

change the nature of the business; and

 

   

enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.

The restrictions in our credit facilities governing our other indebtedness may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business and may make it difficult for us to execute our business strategy successfully or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness, at maturity or otherwise, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit facilities may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control including credit or capital market disruptions. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default that would permit the lenders to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. If we are unable to repay the indebtedness, the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness, among other remedies. This could have serious consequences to our financial position and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.

The effect of the uncertainty relating to potential future changes to U.S. healthcare laws may increase our and our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, limit the ability of patients to obtain health insurance, increase patients’ share of health care costs and negatively impact our financial results.

U.S. lawmakers have made repeated efforts to repeal or materially modify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”). While we are unable to predict what, if any, changes may ultimately be enacted, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office and others have estimated that some of the proposals made to date would result in millions of additional uninsured patients in the U.S. Additionally, U.S. lawmakers have suggested that, even if no formal legislation repealing or modifying the ACA is passed, they may take, or omit, actions that could adversely impact the viability of the ACA and the health insurance markets, which could result in more uninsured patients, other patients having lesser coverage or patients having to absorb a greater portion of the cost of their health care services. Any such changes or any other future changes in the manner in which health care services in the U.S. are paid for and reimbursed by government and private payors could adversely impact our business.

Because of our U.S. operations, we could be adversely affected by violations of anti-bribery laws.

Almost all of our operations are located outside Canada. Anti-bribery laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-resident officers, employees or any other persons acting in an official capacity for any government entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our management services agreements, services agreements and operational policies and procedures, including our compliance program, mandate compliance with applicable law, we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in preventing our contractors, employees or other agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations or that we will not otherwise be deemed to have failed to comply with such laws. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Because of our U.S. operations, we could be adversely affected by violations of anti-kickback, self-referral, or other fraud and abuse laws.

Anti-kickback, self-referral and other fraud and abuse laws and regulations, both at the federal and state level, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making referrals to, or receiving referrals from, a physician or other person in a position to refer or generate business for a health care provider such as the centers and locations operated or managed by Akumin, in exchange for remuneration, unless an exception applies. Physician and other financial relationships within the Akumin organization, including amounts paid under our management services agreements, distributions made to

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    17


referring physician equity holders in the non-wholly owned imaging centers and all other financial arrangements involving Akumin, its intermediaries and potential referral sources or recipients may, notwithstanding our policies and procedures otherwise, result in violations of these laws. While our management services agreements, services agreements and operational policies and procedures, including our compliance program, mandate compliance with applicable law, we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in preventing our contractors, employees or other agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations or that we will not otherwise be deemed to have failed to comply with such laws. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We operate outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in some regions which may be exposed to natural disasters, public health epidemics and other calamities.

Our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers are located in regions which are vulnerable to a variety of natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, etc. We cannot ensure that our centers in these markets would survive a future hurricane, earthquake, flood, wildfire or other natural disaster. Similarly, we cannot ensure that we will be able to procure insurance for such losses in meaningful amounts or at affordable rates in the future. If a natural disaster or other event with a significant economic impact occurs in a region where we operate, such disaster or event could negatively affect the profitability of our business.

A local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, including the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, H1N1 influenza virus, avian flu or any other similar illness, or a fear of any of the foregoing, and changes to laws and other government actions implemented in response to such an illness, could decrease the willingness or ability of customers to patronize our centers, cause shortages of employees to staff our centers, interrupt certain supplies from third parties upon which the Company relies, restrict our ability to offer certain services and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effect could be rapid and unexpected and it is unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if such an epidemic persists for an extended period of time.

We may be unsuccessful in evaluating material risks involved in completed and future investments which could impact our ability to realize the expected benefits from future investments and acquisitions.

We regularly review investment opportunities and, as part of the review, conduct business, legal and financial due diligence with the goal of identifying and evaluating material risks involved in any particular transaction. Despite our efforts, we may be unsuccessful in ascertaining or evaluating all such risks. In particular, financial insight into our previously acquired companies or financial due diligence in respect of potential targets may be limited in light of the availability of financial information. As a result, we may not realize the intended advantages of any given investment and may not identify all of the risks relating to the investment. If we fail to realize the expected benefits from one or more investments, or do not identify all of the risks associated with a particular investment, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may be subject to certain regulations that could restrict our activities and abilities to generate revenues as planned.

From time to time, governments, government agencies and industry self-regulatory bodies in Canada, the United States, and other countries in which we will operate have adopted statutes, regulations and rulings that directly or indirectly affect the activities of our company and our future clients. These regulations could adversely impact on our ability to execute our business strategy and generate revenues as planned.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    18


Technological change in our industry could reduce the demand for our services and require us to incur significant costs to upgrade our equipment.

The development of new technologies or refinements of existing modalities may require us to upgrade and enhance our existing equipment before we may otherwise intend. Many companies currently manufacture diagnostic imaging equipment. Competition among manufacturers for a greater share of the diagnostic imaging equipment market may result in technological advances in the speed and imaging capacity of new equipment. This may accelerate the obsolescence of our equipment, and we may not have the financial ability to acquire the new or improved equipment and may not be able to maintain a competitive equipment base. In addition, advances in technology may enable physicians and others to perform diagnostic imaging procedures without us. If we are unable to deliver our services in the efficient and effective manner that payors, physicians and patients expect, our revenue could substantially decrease.

Because we have high fixed costs, lower scan volumes per system could adversely affect our business.

The principal components of our expenses, excluding depreciation, consist of debt service, finance lease payments, compensation paid to technologists, salaries, real estate lease expenses and equipment maintenance costs. Because a majority of these expenses are fixed, a relatively small change in our revenue could have a disproportionate effect on our operating and financial results depending on the source of our revenue. Thus, decreased revenue as a result of lower scan volumes per system could result in lower margins, which could materially adversely affect our business.

We may be unable to effectively maintain our equipment or generate revenue when our equipment is not operational.

Timely, effective service is essential to maintaining our reputation and high use rates on our imaging equipment. Although we have an agreement with a third party equipment service provider pursuant to which such service provider maintains and repairs the majority of our imaging equipment, the agreement does not compensate us for loss of revenue when our systems are not fully operational and our business interruption insurance may not provide sufficient coverage for the loss of revenue. Also, third party equipment service providers may not be able to perform repairs or supply needed parts in a timely manner, which could result in a loss of revenue. Therefore, if we experience more equipment malfunctions than anticipated or if we are unable to promptly obtain the service necessary to keep our equipment functioning effectively, or where our business or data is compromised on account of equipment malfunctions or a cybersecurity-related attack, our ability to provide services and to fulfill our contractual arrangements would be adversely affected and our revenue could decline.

Our inability to attract and retain qualified radiology technologists and key managerial and other non-medical personnel may adversely impact our ability to carry out our business operations and strategies as planned.

We are highly dependent on qualified managerial personnel. Our anticipated growth will require additional expertise and the addition of new qualified personnel. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the radiology and medical imaging field. Therefore, we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key managerial personnel in a timely manner, would harm our business development programs and ability to manage day-to-day operations, attract collaboration partners, attract and retain other employees and generate revenues. We may not maintain key personal life insurance on any of our employees.

Our policies regarding allowances for doubtful accounts may negatively impact our financial results in future fiscal periods.

We cannot ensure that our allowances for doubtful accounts will not exceed the estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Market rate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may be subject to market risk through the risk of loss of value in our portfolios resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and equity prices. We are required to mark to market our held-for-trading investments at the end of each reporting period, to the extent we own any such investments. This process could result in significant write-downs of our investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability, which could have a significant unfavourable effect on our financial position.

Some of our imaging modalities use radioactive materials which generate regulated waste and could subject us to liabilities for injuries or violations of environmental and health and safety laws.

Some of our imaging procedures use radioactive materials which generate medical and other regulated wastes. For example, patients are injected with a radioactive substance before undergoing a PET scan. Storage, use and disposal of these materials and waste products present the risk of accidental environmental contamination and physical injury. We are subject to federal, state and local regulations governing storage, handling and disposal of these materials. We could incur significant costs and the diversion of our management’s attention in order to comply with current or future environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. Also, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these hazardous materials. Although we believe that we maintain liability insurance coverage consistent with industry practice in the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed the limits of or fall outside the coverage of our liability insurance.

Our inability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could increase the risk of an error in our financial statements.

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives due to its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to error, collusion, or improper override. Given such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and although it is possible to incorporate into the financial reporting process safeguards to reduce this risk, they cannot be guaranteed to entirely eliminate it. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, then there is an increased risk of an error in our financial statements that could result in us being required to restate previously issued financial statements at a later date.

If we fail to comply with various licensure, certification and accreditation standards, we may be subject to loss of licensure, certification or accreditation, which would adversely affect our operations.

Ownership, construction, operation, expansion and acquisition of our outpatient diagnostic imaging centers are subject to various federal and state laws, regulations and approvals concerning licensing of personnel, other required certificates for certain types of healthcare facilities and certain medical equipment. In addition, freestanding diagnostic imaging centers that provide services independent of a physician’s office must be enrolled by Medicare as an independent diagnostic treatment facility, or IDTF, to bill the Medicare program. Medicare carriers have discretion in applying the IDTF requirements and therefore the application of these requirements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In addition, federal legislation requires all suppliers that provide the technical component of diagnostic MRI, PET/CT, CT, and nuclear medicine to be accredited by an accreditation organization designated by CMS (as defined below) (which currently includes the American College of Radiology (“ACR”), the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission, RadSite and the Joint Commission). Our MRI, CT, and radiology facilities are currently accredited by the ACR. We may not be able to receive the required regulatory approvals or accreditation for any future acquisitions, expansions or replacements, and the failure to obtain these approvals could limit the opportunity to expand our services.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    20


Our centers are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities to assure continued compliance with the various standards necessary for licensure and certification. If any facility loses its certification under the Medicare program, then the facility will be ineligible to receive reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. For Fiscal 2019, approximately 14% of our revenue came from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A change in the applicable certification status of one of our centers could adversely affect our other centers and in turn us as a whole. We have experienced a slowdown in the credentialing of our physicians over the last several years which has lengthened our billing and collection cycle and could negatively impact our ability to collect revenue from patients covered by Medicare. Credentialing of physicians is required by our payors prior to commencing payment.

Our management services arrangements with radiology practices and our professional services agreements with contracted radiologists or radiology practices must be structured in compliance with laws relating to the practice of medicine, including, without limitation, fee-splitting prohibitions.

State laws in certain of the states in which we operate prohibit us from owning radiology practices, from exercising control over the clinical judgment of physicians and/or from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as splitting professional fees with physicians. These laws vary by state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion, and often with limited precedent as to how challenges under these laws may turn out. A component of our business has been to enter into management services agreements with radiology practices. We provide management, administrative, technical and other non-medical services to the radiology practices in exchange for a service fee typically based on a percentage of the practice’s revenue. We structure our relationships with these radiology practices, including those managed following an acquisition by us of their nonclinical assets, in a manner that we believe keeps us from engaging in the practice of medicine or exercising control over the medical judgments or decisions of the radiology practices or their physicians, or violating prohibitions against fee-splitting. There can be no assurance that our present arrangements with physicians providing medical services and medical supervision at our owned or managed diagnostic imaging centers will not be challenged, and, if challenged, that they will not be found to violate applicable laws, thus subjecting us to potential damages, injunction and/or civil and criminal penalties or require us to restructure our arrangements in a way that would affect the control or quality of our services and/or change the amounts we receive from the operation of these centers and locations. Any of these results could jeopardize our business.

Recently enacted and future federal legislation, regulatory changes or payment changes implemented by commercial payors could limit the prices we can charge for our services and/or the amount we are reimbursed for our services, which would reduce our revenue and adversely affect our operating results.

Starting with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005’s mandated multiple procedure payment reduction, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) reimbursement for a number of diagnostic imaging procedures, including many that we or our managed radiology practices perform, has been materially reduced over the last number of years. Certain private payors have followed suit with CMS and reduced reimbursement for certain diagnostic imaging procedures. Given the recent history, we expect that reimbursement for certain diagnostic imaging services that we or our managed radiology practices provide, may be reduced in the future, which would adversely impact our business. Additionally, CMS and other payors are seeking to shift from a primarily fee for service reimbursement paradigm to a more value based model. We cannot predict what such changes will ultimately look like or how they may ultimately impact our business or financial performance, which creates significant uncertainty for our business.

There may be gaps in our insurance coverage relating to events which transpired prior to our acquisition of our centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

When the Company acquired the assets relating to certain of the centers it operates in Pennsylvania and Delaware on April 21, 2016, it also agreed to indemnify the physician-owned radiology practices which serviced those centers pursuant to management services agreements with those entities. The Company has not insured against risks which pre-date its acquisition of those centers and, as a result, it could be liable, without the benefit of insurance proceeds, for damages suffered as a result of complaints or other proceedings against those physician-owned radiology practices relating to events which transpired prior to April 21, 2016. These complaints could include actions for medical malpractice or wrongful death.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Shares

There are unexercised stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants outstanding and which may be issued from time to time. If these are exercised or converted, an investor’s interest in our Common Shares will be diluted.

As of December 31, 2019, we had 69,840,928 Common Shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, we also had an aggregate of 6,640,620 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options, RSUs and warrants. If all of these options, RSUs and warrants vest and are exercised, the Company would be required to issue 6,640,620 Common Shares, or approximately 9.51% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis as of December 31, 2019, and the Company would receive an aggregate of $16,399,117. See “Description of Capital Structure – Common Shares”.

These issuances would decrease the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other Shareholders. This dilution could cause the price of our Common Shares to decline and it could result in the creation of new control persons. In addition, our Shareholders could suffer dilution in the net book value per Common Share.

A decline in the price of the Common Shares could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of the Common Shares could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our Common Shares and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of our operations has been and is expected to be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our Common Shares could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including the ability to acquire diagnostic imaging centers and continue current operations. If our stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not have the resources to continue our normal operations.

Investors’ ability to transfer the Common Shares may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the Common Shares.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Shares will develop or, if developed, that any such market will be sustained. This could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the Common Shares. In such event, Shareholders may not be able to sell their Common Shares at a given time or at a favorable price.

The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile.

Even if an active trading market for the Common Shares does develop, the market price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including, among other factors: (a) dilution caused by the issuance of additional Common Shares and other forms of equity securities, which the Company expects to make in connection with future capital financings to fund operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies; (b) announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by our competitors; and (c) changes in the social, political and/or legal climate in the regions in which the Company operates. In addition, the market price of the Common Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other factors: (i) quarterly variations in revenues and operating expenses; (ii) changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies; and (iii) changes in analysts’ estimates affecting the Company, competitors and/or the industry. In the aggregate, these circumstances may result in material adverse changes to the market price of the Common Shares and/or results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    22


Our level of indebtedness may increase and reduce our financial flexibility.

We are currently indebted under our credit facilities and we may incur additional indebtedness under the credit facilities or otherwise in the future. We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our cash, bank indebtedness and long-term debt. Debt issued at variable rates exposes us to cash flow interest rate risk. Debt issued at fixed rates exposes us to fair value interest rate risk. Our borrowings, current and future, will require interest payments and need to be repaid or refinanced, could require us to divert funds identified for other purposes to debt service and could create additional cash demands or impair our liquidity position and add financial risk for us. Diverting funds identified for other purposes for debt service may adversely affect our business and growth prospects. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to refinance our debt, dispose of assets, reduce or delay expenditures or issue equity to obtain necessary funds. We do not know whether we would be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

 

   

a significant portion of our cash flows could be used to service our indebtedness;

 

   

the covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, pay dividends and make certain investments;

 

   

our debt covenants may also affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry;

 

   

a high level of debt would increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and therefore may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness would prevent us from pursuing; and

 

   

a high level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions or other purposes.

In addition to our debt service obligations, our operations require material expenditures on a continuing basis. Our ability to make scheduled debt payments, to refinance our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and to fund capital and non-capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of our operating assets and properties, as well as to provide capacity for the growth of our business, depends on our financial and operating performance. General economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and our future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to pay the interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or refinance such debt.

Future offerings of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities that may be senior to our Common Shares for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities or additional offerings of equity securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Common Shares. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing Shareholders or reduce the market price of our Common Shares, or both. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings, and purchasers of our Common Shares bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our Common Shares and diluting their ownership interest in the Company.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    23


Because we can issue additional Common Shares, holders of our Common Shares may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

If we require additional funds in the future and raise such funds by issuing additional equity securities, especially at prices lower than the price of the Common Shares under this Annual Information Form, such financing may dilute the equity interests of our current Shareholders, including purchasers who acquire Common Shares pursuant to this Annual Information Form.

Because it is unlikely that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future, stockholders may only benefit from owning Common Shares if the value of the Common Shares appreciates.

We have never paid dividends on our Common Shares and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his or her investment should not purchase Common Shares.

We are a Canadian company and shareholder protections differ from shareholder protections in the United States and elsewhere.

We are organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada and, accordingly, are governed by the OBCA. The OBCA differs in certain material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and Shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers and similar arrangements, takeovers, Shareholders’ suits, indemnification of directors and inspection of corporation records.

We incur expenses as a result of being a public company and our current resources may not be sufficient to fulfill our public company obligations.

We incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses as a result of being a public company, which may negatively impact our performance and could cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer. Compliance with applicable securities laws in Canada and the rules of the TSX substantially increases our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and makes some activities more time-consuming and costly. Reporting obligations as a public company and our anticipated growth may place a strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as our personnel.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Because of our inherent limitations and the fact that we are a public company and are implementing additional financial control and management systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A failure to prevent or detect errors or misstatements may result in a decline in the market price of our Common Shares and harm our ability to raise capital in the future.

If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could harm our business and cause a decline in the price of our Common Shares. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in the market price of our Common Shares and harm our ability to raise capital. Delisting of our Common Shares on any exchange would reduce the liquidity of the market for our Common Shares, which would reduce the price of and increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Shares.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    24


We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of certain persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be materially adversely effected, which could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn could result in a reduction in the trading price of the Common Shares.

Our senior management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business.

The individuals who now constitute our senior management team have relatively limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies compared to senior management of other publicly traded companies. Our senior management team may not successfully or efficiently manage a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under Canadian securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavourable research about our business, our Common Share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts may discontinue research on our Company. If no securities or industry analysts continue coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, the market price of our Common Shares would likely be negatively impacted. Moreover, if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of the investor community, or one or more of the analysts who cover our Company downgrades our Common Shares or publishes unfavourable research about our business, our Common Share price could decline.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form may prove to be incorrect.

There can be no assurance that any estimates and assumptions contained in this Annual Information Form will prove to be correct. Actual results of the Company in the future may vary significantly from the historical and estimated results and those variations may be material. There is no representation by us that actual results achieved by the Company in the future will be the same, in whole or in part, as those included in this Annual Information Form. See “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Volatility of current global economic or financial conditions

Current global economic or financial conditions have been subject to continued volatility. Trade wars, import tariffs, Brexit, public protests, rising consumer debt levels, epidemics, pandemics, or outbreaks of new infectious diseases or viruses (including, most recently, COVID-19) and the risk of sovereign debt defaults in many countries have caused and continue to cause significant uncertainties in the markets. Although the Company takes appropriate measures and safeguards to protect its staff from infection, these events can result in volatility and disruption to our operations which may be beyond the control of the Company, and which could adversely affect the availability of supplies and materials, labour, interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business operations, financial markets, exchange rates and other factors material to the Company.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    25


Dividends and Distributions

Neither Akumin Inc. nor either of its predecessors has declared or paid any dividends on their Common Shares since the date of their amalgamation or incorporation. The Company intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not expect to pay dividends or to make any other distributions in the near future. The Board will review this policy from time to time having regard to the Company’s financing requirements, financial condition and other factors considered to be relevant.

Description of Capital Structure

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value. The following describes our issued and outstanding share capital as well as the material terms of our share capital. The following description may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of our articles (“Articles”).

Common Shares

As at December 31, 2019, there were 69,840,928 Common Shares issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable.

Those Common Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019 exclude the following:

 

  (i)

5,778,120 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 5,778,120 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2019, of which, subject to vesting and the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, 2,025,268 stock options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 and 2,088,000 stock options are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.74 and 1,664,852 are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.29;

 

  (ii)

337,500 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 337,500 RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2019;3 and

 

  (iii)

525,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to 525,000 warrants to purchase Common Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019, which are exercisable for Common Shares in accordance with their respective terms at an exercise price of $4.00 per Common Share.

If all stock options, RSUs and warrants outstanding as at December 31, 2019 were vested and exercised, the Company would issue an additional 6,640,620 Common Shares, or 9.51% of our Common Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and the Company would receive $16,399,117. None of the stock options, RSUs or warrants are transferrable prior to their exercise for Common Shares, except that stock options and RSUs may, in accordance with the terms of their respective plans, be transferred to permitted assigns of the respective holder that are related to or controlled by such holder.

Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred shares of the Company, holders of the Common Shares are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the directors. Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to one vote per Common Share at meetings of Shareholders except at meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, subject to the rights of holders of preferred shares, holders of the Common Shares are to share ratably in the remaining assets of the Company as are distributable to holders of Common Shares. The Common Shares are not subject to call or assessment rights, redemption rights, rights regarding purchase for cancellation or surrender, or any pre-emptive or conversion rights.

 

3 

285,000 RSUs settled for Common Shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the Company’s Restricted Stock Unit Plan. As a result, as of the date of this Annual Information Form, 52,500 RSUs are outstanding.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    26


Preferred Shares

As at December 31, 2019, zero preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

Preferred shares may be issued by the directors of the Company at any time in one or more series. Subject to the provisions of the OBCA and our Articles, the Board may, by resolution, from time to time fix the number of shares in each series of preferred shares and determine the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series, including, without limitation, any right to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative and variable or fixed) or the means of determining such dividends, the dates of payment thereof, the voting rights (if any), any terms or conditions of redemption or purchase, any conversion rights, any retraction rights, any rights on our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and any sinking fund or other provisions, the whole to be subject to filing an amendment to our Articles to create the series and altering our Articles to include the special rights or restrictions attached to the preferred shares of the series. If any preferred shares are issued and the directors determine those preferred shares are to have voting rights, the holders of those preferred shares will vote together with the holders of Common Shares at meetings of Shareholders except at meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote.

In addition to each member’s general business experience, each of our Audit Committee members has an understanding of the accounting principles used to prepare financial statements and varied experience as to the general application of such accounting principles, as well as an understanding of the internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting. The education and experience of each Audit Committee member that is relevant to the performance of responsibilities as an Audit Committee member is as follows:

 

Name

In his various roles since July 2006, he has been responsible for managing various Real Estate projects and directly oversees the related Financial Reporting. Prior to joining Remington, Mr. Davies held various Senior Management positions including most notably, VP & CFO of Excel Bestview Medical Laboratories, VP & CFO of Canadian Medical Laboratories Limited (“CML”) which gained him public company experience, and President of Lanzarotta Wholesale Grocers Limited.

In the form set forth in the attached Appendix A, our Board has adopted a written charter which outlines the purpose, composition, authority and responsibility of our Audit Committee, consistent with NI 52-110. The Audit Committee will assist our Board in discharging its oversight of:

 

   

the quality and integrity of our financial statements and related information;

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Annual Information Form  |  2019    30


   

the independence, qualifications and appointment of our external auditor;

 

   

our disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and management’s responsibility for assessing and reporting on the effectiveness of such controls;

 

   

our risk management processes;

 

   

monitoring and periodically reviewing our whistleblower policy; and

 

   

transactions with our related parties.

Our Audit Committee has access to all of our books, records, centers and personnel and may request any information about us as it may deem appropriate. It also has the authority, in its sole discretion and at our expense, to retain and set the compensation of outside legal, accounting or other advisors as necessary to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities. Our Audit Committee also has direct communication channels with the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and our external auditors to discuss and review such issues as our Audit Committee may deem appropriate.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of its external auditors for the performance of non-audit services. Pursuant to such policies, the Audit Committee is required to review and pre-approve all non-audit services to be performed by the external auditor. The Audit Committee may delegate this function to a member of the Audit Committee so that between meetings such member may pre-approve the non-audit services as long as such member reports the approval to the Audit Committee at the next ensuring meeting. The Audit Committee need not approve in advance any non-audit services where: (1) the aggregate amount of all non-audit services not pre-approved constitute no more than 5% of the total fees paid to the external auditor during the year, (2) the Company did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement, and (3) the services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

Upon our acquisition of Rose Radiology’s assets, Rose Radiology, a physician-owned radiology practice, retained Akumin as its manager for administrative and other non-clinical matters. In or about December, 2015, Rose Radiology entered into a no-fault settlement agreement with the DOJ with respect to those allegations which included Rose Radiology paying $8,710,000 to the U.S. government and entering into a CIA. Rose Radiology’s CIA expires December 29, 2020.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares is TSX Trust Company at its principal offices in Toronto, Ontario. The co-transfer agent and co-registrar is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at its principal offices in New York, NY.

We intend to hold the Meeting at the premises indicated above. However, in light of the rapidly evolving news and guidelines related to the COVID-19 outbreak, we ask that, in considering whether to attend the meeting in person, shareholders follow the instructions of the Public Health Agency of Canada (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html) and any applicable federal, state, provincial or local public health guidelines. In particular, we encourage you not to attend the Meeting in person if you or someone you have been in close contact with has been infected with the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 or is experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, or if you or someone you have been in close contact with has travelled to/from outside of Canada within the 14 days prior to the date of the Meeting. For the health and safety of all of our shareholders, we would encourage you to vote by proxy prior to the Meeting.

Voting Information

The following information provides guidance on how to vote your Common Shares.

As a shareholder of Akumin, it is very important that you read this information carefully and then vote your Common Shares, either by proxy or by attending the Meeting.

Voting by proxy means that you are giving the person or people named on your proxy form (each a “proxyholder”) the authority to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. A proxy form is included in this package.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    3


If you vote by proxy, the individuals who are named on the proxy form will vote your Common Shares for you, unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder.

You have the right to appoint a person or company of your choice (who need not be a shareholder) to represent you at the Meeting, other than the individuals designated in the enclosed form of proxy. If you appoint someone else, he or she must be present at the Meeting to vote your Common Shares.

If you are voting your Common Shares by proxy, our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, or other agents we appoint must receive your signed proxy form by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 12, 2020, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day preceding the day of the Meeting. The time limit for deposit of proxies may be waived by the Chair of the Meeting in the Chair’s sole discretion without notice.

How to Vote – Registered Shareholders

You are a registered shareholder if your name appears on your share certificate or on the register maintained by our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company. Your proxy form indicates if you are a registered shareholder.

Voting by Proxy

Registered shareholders have four options to vote by proxy:

 

   

On the Internet – Go to www.voteproxyonline.com and follow the instructions on screen. You will need the 12 digit control number listed on your proxy. You do not need to return your proxy form if you vote on the Internet.

 

   

By Mail – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and return it in the envelope we have provided. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

 

   

By Fax – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and send it by fax to 416-595-9593. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

 

   

By Email – Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy form and sending a PDF copy to tsxtrustproxyvoting@tmx.com.

If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy form will vote your Common Shares for you unless you appoint someone else to be your proxyholder.

You have the right to appoint a person or company of your choice who need not be a shareholder to represent you at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form. If you wish to do so, please strike out the two names that are printed on the proxy form and write the name of the person you are appointing in the space provided.

Complete, date and sign the accompanying form of proxy, and submit it in accordance with the instructions prior to the proxy cut-off time. Make sure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she has been appointed and attends the Meeting. At the Meeting, he or she should see a representative of TSX Trust Company at the registration tables. Please see “Completing the Proxy Form” on the enclosed form for more information.

Voting in Person at the Meeting

If you are a registered shareholder and choose to vote in person at the Meeting, you do not need to complete or return your proxy form. Please check-in and register with a representative of TSX Trust Company at the registration tables when you arrive at the Meeting.

To vote Common Shares registered in the name of a corporation or other legal entity, an authorized officer or attorney of that corporation or legal entity must attend the Meeting in person. This person may have to provide proof that he or she is authorized to act on behalf of the corporation or other legal entity. Shares registered in the name of a corporation or other legal entity cannot be voted in person without adequate proof of authorization.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    4


Changing Your Vote

You can revoke a vote you made by proxy by:

 

   

competing a proxy form that is dated later than the proxy form you are changing and mailing it to TSX Trust Company so that it is received at the address indicated before 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 12, 2020; or

 

   

making a request in writing to the Chair of the Meeting, at the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, before any vote in respect of which the proxy has been given or taken. The written request can be from you or your authorized attorney.

How to Vote – Non-Registered Beneficial Shareholders

You are a non-registered (or beneficial) shareholder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) if your Common Shares are registered either:

 

  a)

in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans (each, an “Intermediary”) that represents the Non-Registered Holder in respect of its Common Shares; or

 

  b)

in the name of a depository (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, we will distribute copies of the Notice, the Circular, the form of proxy and the supplemental mailing return list card (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”), either by mail or electronically, if consented, directly to Non-Registered Holders that are non-objecting beneficial owners and to Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders that are objecting beneficial owners. Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive such materials. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will receive a package from their Intermediary containing either:

 

  a)

a voting instruction form that must be properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary in accordance with the instructions on the voting instruction form;

or, less typically,

 

  b)

a form of proxy that has already been stamped or signed by the Intermediary that is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder, but which otherwise has not been completed. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with TSX Trust Company at the address set forth in the Notice.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of Common Shares that they beneficially own. The Company has agreed to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to objecting beneficial owners.

A Non-Registered Holder may revoke a voting instruction form or proxy which has been given to an Intermediary by written notice to the Intermediary or by submitting a voting instruction form or proxy bearing a later date in accordance with the applicable instructions. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

We do not have access to the names or holdings of all of our Non-Registered Holders. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either a voting instruction form or a form of proxy wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should follow the instructions contained on the voting instruction form or form of proxy within the time periods specified and appoint themselves (or another person to vote on their behalf). In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and service companies. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and have not received a package containing a voting instruction form or form of proxy, please contact your Intermediary.

At the Meeting, you should see a representative of TSX Trust Company at the table marked “Alternate attorneys/External proxyholders.”

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    5


Completing the Proxy Form

You can choose to vote “For”, “Against” or “Withhold”, depending on the items listed on the proxy form.

When you sign the proxy form, you authorize the directors and officers of the Company who are named in the proxy form to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting according to your instructions, unless you have appointed someone else to act as your proxy. If you return your proxy form and do not tell us how you want to vote your Common Shares, your vote will be counted: (a) FOR electing the nominee directors who are listed in the Circular, (b) FOR appointing Ernst & Young LLP as auditors, (c) FOR the approval of unallocated Options under the Company’s Option Plan; and (d) FOR the approval of unallocated RSUs under the Company’s RSU Plan.

If you are appointing someone else to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting, strike out the two names of the individuals on the proxy form and write the name of the person voting for you in the space provided. If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, your proxyholder will vote your Common Shares as he or she sees fit on each item and on any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting.

If you are an individual shareholder, you or your authorized attorney must sign the form. If you are a corporation or other legal entity, an authorized officer or attorney must sign the form.

If you need help completing your proxy form, please contact TSX Trust Company Investor Services within Canada and the United States toll-free at 1-866-600-5869, and from all other countries at 1-416-342-1091.

Additional Voting Information

You have one vote for each Common Share you held as at the close of business on April 7, 2020. As at the close of business on the date of this circular, 70,125,928 Common Shares were entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

The election of directors and the appointment of auditors will each be determined by a majority of votes cast at the Meeting by proxy or in person. Under the articles of the Company (the “Articles”), if there is a tie, the Chair of the Meeting does not cast the deciding vote.

TSX Trust Company will count and tabulate the votes for the Company.

Record Date, Quorum and Votes Necessary to Pass Resolutions

Each shareholder of record at the close of business on April 7, 2020 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to vote at the Meeting the Common Shares registered in his or her name on that date. The quorum for any meeting of shareholders is two who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 10% of the Common Shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) and our Articles, a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting (by person or proxy) is required to pass an ordinary resolution.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to: (a) pass an ordinary resolution to elect directors to the board of directors; (b) pass an ordinary resolution to appoint auditors for the ensuing year and to authorize the members of the Audit Committee of the Company to fix such auditor’s remuneration; (c) pass an ordinary resolution to approve unallocated Options under the Company’s Option Plan; and (d) pass an ordinary resolution to approve unallocated RSUs under the Company’s RSU Plan.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    6


Business of the Meeting

To the knowledge of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and management of the Company, the only matters to be brought before the Meeting are those set out in the accompanying Notice and more particularly detailed below.

Receiving the Audited Annual Financial Statements

We will place before the Meeting the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the auditors’ report thereon, for our 2019 fiscal year end, being the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. These financial statements, together with the management’s discussion and analysis thereon, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company’s website at www.akumin.com.

Election of Directors

You will be electing a Board of five members. Please see “Election of Directors” in this Circular for more information. Directors appointed at the Meeting will serve, subject to our Articles and the OBCA, until the end of the next annual shareholder meeting. All of the individuals who have been nominated as directors are currently members of the Board and have been since before the closing of our initial public offering on December 1, 2017. Each director elected will hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless prior thereto he or she resigns or his or her office becomes vacated by reason of death or other cause, or until their successors are elected or appointed.

If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, the individuals named as proxyholders in the enclosed proxy form intend to cast the votes represented by proxy at the Meeting FOR the election as directors of the nominee directors named in this Circular.

Appointment of Auditors

The Board recommends that Ernst & Young LLP be reappointed as auditors and that the Audit Committee of the Board be authorized to fix such auditor’s remuneration. The auditors will serve until the end of the next annual shareholder meeting or until a successor is appointed by the Board. Ernst & Young LLP were first appointed auditors of the Company on December 2, 2019.

Information concerning the fees paid to the auditors of the Company may be found in our most recent Annual Information Form under the heading “Audit Committee – External Auditor Service Fees”, which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, the individuals named as proxyholders in the enclosed proxy form intend to cast the votes represented by proxy at the Meeting FOR the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our auditors until the next annual meeting, and authorization of the Audit Committee of the Board to fix Ernst & Young LLP’s remuneration.

Approval of Share Consolidation

Background

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider a special resolution (the “Consolidation Resolution”) authorizing the Board to amend the Articles to effect a consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of a consolidation ratio of up to three (3) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the “Share Consolidation”), such ratio to be selected by the Board and to be effective as at the Board’s discretion. For illustrative purposes, as of the date of this Circular, the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding is 70,125,928, and, if the Share Consolidation were to be effected on the basis of a ratio of three (3) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share, the Company would have a total of 23,375,309 Common Shares issued and outstanding following such Share Consolidation.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    7


Although shareholder approval for the Share Consolidation is being sought at the Meeting, the Share Consolidation, if and when so authorized by the Company, will become effective at a date in the future to be determined by the Company, provided that such date shall be before May 15, 2021. The Board may determine not to implement the Share Consolidation at any time after the Meeting without further action on the part of or notice to the shareholders.

No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon the Share Consolidation. All fractions of post-consolidation Common Shares will be rounded to the next lowest whole number.

If the proposed Share Consolidation is approved by the shareholders and all regulatory requirements are complied with, including the approval of the TSX, and implemented by the Board, following the announcement by the Company of the effective date of the Share Consolidation, registered shareholders will be sent a letter of transmittal by the Company’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, containing instructions on how to exchange their share certificates representing pre-consolidation Common Shares for new share certificates representing post-consolidation Common Shares. Non-registered shareholders holding their Common Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the Share Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for its registered shareholders. If you hold your Common Shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.

Following the Share Consolidation, the Common Shares will continue to be listed on the TSX under the symbols AKU.U and AKU , although the post-consolidation Common Shares will be considered a substitutional listing with new CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation

In light of the present turmoil in the marketplace on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders and of the Company to avail itself of the flexibility to reduce the number of outstanding Common Shares by way of the Share Consolidation. An increase in the trading price of the Common Shares that may result from a Share Consolidation could heighten the interest of the financial community in the Company and potentially broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing or may be able to invest in the Company. The Share Consolidation may also help to attract institutional investors and investment funds who have internal policies that prohibit them from purchasing stocks below a certain minimum price or that tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending such stocks to their customers. These factors in turn may improve the trading liquidity of the Common Shares.

Certain Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation

No Guarantee of an Increased Share Price

Reducing the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares through the Share Consolidation is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of the Common Shares. That being said, the market price of the Common Shares will also be based on the Company’s financial and operational results, its available capital and liquidity resources, the state of the market for Common Shares at the time, the general economic, geopolitical, market and industry conditions, the market perception of the Company’s business and other factors and contingencies which are unrelated to the number of Common Shares outstanding. As a result, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will in fact increase following the Share Consolidation or will not decrease in the future. If the market price of the Common Shares is lower than it was before the Share Consolidation, the respective total market capitalization of the Common Shares after the Share Consolidation may be lower than before the Share Consolidation.

No Guarantee of Improved Trading Liquidity

While the Board believes that a higher Common Share price could help attract institutional investors and investment funds who have internal policies that either prohibit them from purchasing stocks below a certain minimum price or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending such stocks to their customers, the Share Consolidation may not result in a per share market price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds and such share price may not satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Common Shares may not improve.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    8


Potential Decline of Market Capitalization

If the Share Consolidation is effected and the market price of the Common Shares declines, the percentage decline, as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company’s overall market capitalization, may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Share Consolidation. In many cases, both the total market capitalization of a company and the market price of such corporation’s shares following a share consolidation are lower than they were before the share consolidation. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Common Shares could be adversely affected by the reduced number of Common Shares that would be outstanding after the Share Consolidation.

Approval by Shareholders

To be effective, the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) requires that the Consolidation Resolution be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, being a majority of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. In addition to the approval of the shareholders, the Share Consolidation requires the approval of the TSX. The Company will apply to the TSX for conditional approval of the proposed Share Consolidation, which approval is subject to the Company fulfilling standard listing conditions. If the Company obtains shareholder approval, the Consolidation Resolution would be valid for one year, starting May 15, 2020.

The Board believes that the proposed Share Consolidation is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Consolidation Resolution. Unless instructed to vote against in the accompanying Form of Proxy, it is the intention of the persons named therein to vote the Common Shares represented thereby “FOR” the Consolidation Resolution.

The text of the special resolution approving the Consolidation Resolution is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting.

“RESOLVED, with or without amendment, that:

 

  1.

pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the articles of the Company be amended to consolidate all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, on the basis of a consolidation ratio of up to three (3) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the “Share Consolidation”), effective as at the discretion of the Board;

 

  2.

the date of the Share Consolidation shall be determined at the discretion of the Board, provided that such date shall be before May 15, 2021 (the “Effective Time”);

 

  3.

the Board be and it is hereby authorized to revoke, without further approval of the shareholders, this special resolution at any time prior to the completion thereof, notwithstanding the approval by the shareholders of same, if determined, in the Board’s sole discretion to be in the best interest of the Company; and

 

  4.

any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the corporate seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution, including the filing of all necessary documents with regulatory authorities including the Toronto Stock Exchange.”

Approval of Unallocated Options under the Option Plan

Background

The terms of the Company’s amended and restated stock option plan dated November 14, 2017 (the “Option Plan”) and other disclosure related to the Option Plan which is required by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) is set forth in detail in this Circular under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Principal Elements of Compensation – Long-Term Incentives – Options and Restricted Stock Units – Option Plan”. When options to acquire Common Shares are granted pursuant to the Option Plan, Common Shares that are reserved for issuance pursuant to these outstanding unexercised options are considered “allocated” options by the TSX. As the maximum number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the Option Plan, together with all of the Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    9


(i.e. the RSU Plan), is set at 10% (on a rolling basis) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, additional Common Shares may be issued by the Company under the Option Plan which are not the subject of current unexercised option grants, and these are considered to be “unallocated” options by the TSX. Pursuant to Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, all unallocated options, rights, or other entitlements under a security-based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable must be approved by a majority of the listed issuer’s directors and by the listed issuer’s security holders every three years after the institution of the arrangement. The Company’s Option Plan was instituted August 12, 2015 and amended and restated November 14, 2017.

As required by the TSX, an ordinary resolution will be placed before the shareholders at the Meeting to approve the unallocated options under the Option Plan (the “Unallocated Options Resolution”). This shareholder approval will be effective for three years from the date of the Meeting.

Approval by Shareholders

If approval is not obtained at the Meeting, options which have not been allocated under the Option Plan as of May 14, 2020, and options outstanding as at May 14, 2020 that are subsequently cancelled or terminated will not be available for the new grant of options under the Option Plan. Previously allocated options will be unaffected by the approval or disapproval by the shareholders of the Unallocated Options Resolution.

The Board and management consider the approval of the Unallocated Options Resolution to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by such form of proxy, properly executed, FOR the approval of the Unallocated Options Resolution.

The text of the ordinary resolution approving the Unallocated Options Resolution is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting.

RESOLVED, with or without amendment, that:

 

  1.

all unallocated options under the Option Plan of the Company, as amended from time to time, are hereby approved and authorized and the Company is authorized to continue granting options under the Option Plan until May 14, 2023, which is the date that is three years from the date upon which shareholder approval is being sought; and

 

  2.

any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the corporate seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution, including the filing of all necessary documents with regulatory authorities including the Toronto Stock Exchange.”

Approval of Unallocated RSUs under the Restricted Stock Unit Plan

Background

The terms of the Company’s amended and restated restricted stock unit plan dated November 14, 2017 (“RSU Plan”) and other disclosure related to the RSU Plan which is required by the TSX is set forth in detail in this Circular under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Principal Elements of Compensation – Long-Term Incentives – Options and Restricted Stock Units – RSU Plan”. When restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are granted pursuant to the RSU Plan, Common Shares that are reserved for issuance pursuant to these outstanding unexercised RSUs are considered “allocated” RSUs by the TSX. As the maximum number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the RSU Plan, together with all of the Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements (i.e. the Option Plan), is set at 10 % (on a rolling basis) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, additional Common Shares may be issued by the Company under the RSU Plan which are not the subject of current unexercised RSU grants, and these are considered to be “unallocated” RSUs by the TSX. Pursuant to Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, all unallocated RSUs, rights, or other entitlements under a security-based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable must be approved by a majority of the listed issuer’s directors and by the listed issuer’s security holders every three years after the institution of the arrangement.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    10


The Company’s RSU Plan was instituted March 8, 2017 and amended and restated November 14, 2017. As required by the TSX, an ordinary resolution will be placed before the shareholders at the Meeting to approve unallocated RSUs under the RSU Plan (“Unallocated RSUs Resolution”).

Approval by shareholders

If approval is not obtained at the Meeting, RSUs which have not been allocated under the RSU Plan as of May 14, 2020, and RSUs outstanding as at May 14, 2020 that are subsequently cancelled or terminated will not be available for the new grant of RSUs under the RSU Plan. Previously allocated RSUs will be unaffected by the approval or disapproval by the shareholders of the Unallocated RSUs Resolution.

The Board and management consider the approval of the Unallocated RSUs Resolution to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by such form of proxy, properly executed, FOR the approval of the Unallocated RSUs Resolution.

The text of the ordinary resolution approving the Unallocated RSUs Resolution is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting.

RESOLVED, with or without amendment, that:

 

  1.

all unallocated RSUs under the RSU Plan of the Company, as amended from time to time, are hereby approved and authorized and the Company is authorized to continue awarding RSUs under the RSU Plan until May 14, 2023, which is the date that is three years from the date upon which shareholder approval is being sought; and

 

  2.

any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the corporate seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution, including the filing of all necessary documents with regulatory authorities including the Toronto Stock Exchange.”

Other Business

We will consider any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, we are not aware of any changes to the items above or any other business to be considered at the Meeting. If there are changes or new items, your proxyholder can vote your Common Shares on these items as he or she sees fit. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the form of proxy to vote in respect of those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Election of Directors

Majority Voting Policy

In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, our Board has adopted a “Majority Voting Policy” to the effect that a nominee for election as a director who does not receive a greater number of votes “for” than votes “withheld” in an election shall tender his or her resignation to the Chair promptly following the meeting of shareholders at which such votes are cast. Our Governance Committee will consider such tendered resignation and make a recommendation to our Board whether to accept it or not. Our Board will promptly accept the resignation unless it determines, in consultation with our Governance Committee, that there are exceptional circumstances that should delay the acceptance of the resignation or justify rejecting it. Our Board will make its decision and announce it in a press release within 90 days following the meeting of shareholders. A director who tenders a resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any meeting of our Board or our Governance Committee at which the resignation is considered.

Nominees

The Articles provide that the Board shall consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of ten directors, with the actual number to be determined from time to time by the Board. The Board has determined that, at the present time, there will be five directors, each of whom is to be elected at this Meeting and who will hold office until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless prior thereto he or she resigns or his or her office becomes vacated by reason of death or other cause, or until their successors are elected or appointed.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    11

If, prior to the Meeting, any of the listed nominees become unable or unavailable to serve, proxies will be voted for any other nominee or nominees at the discretion of the proxyholder. As of the date hereof, management of the Company does not expect that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director.

Based on the closing price per Common Share of $3.70 on December 31, 2019, the last trading day of Fiscal 2019 (net of the exercise price per option). In accordance with the Option Plan (as defined below), vesting is to occur on or after the first anniversary of the grant date as to 34% of the number of options granted, 33% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 33% on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Incentive Plan Awards – Value Vested or Earned During Fiscal 2019

The following table sets forth, for each of the Company’s directors, other than directors who are also NEOs, the value of option and share-based awards which vested during Fiscal 2019, and the value of non-equity incentive plan compensation earned during Fiscal 2019:

Represents the dollar value of $3.50 per Common Share, which would have been realized if options which vested during Fiscal 2019 had been exercised on the vesting date of March 15, 2019, less the exercise price of $0.50 per Common Share. Options which were not “in-the-money” on their vesting date in Fiscal 2019 are excluded.

(2)

Represents the aggregate dollar value of $3.40 per Common Share on the vesting date of November 15, 2019 of share-based awards (namely, RSUs).

Share Ownership Policy

The Board believes that share ownership by members of the Board is a key element of strong corporate governance. The Board also believes that long-term equity ownership further aligns the interest of Directors with those of shareholders and enables them to share in the long-term growth and success of the Company. In March 2020, the Board approved a share ownership policy (the “Share Ownership Policy”) to require Directors to hold such number of publicly traded Shares in Akumin (“Shares”) with a market value of equal to at least three times the annual cash retainer the Director as chair or member of the Board and any of its standing committees is paid or payable in respect of the year of measurement.

This minimum Share ownership requirement must be attained within three years of the later of: (i) the date the Share Ownership Policy is adopted by the Board; and (ii) in the case of directors appointed or elected after the date of adoption, the date an individual is appointed or elected as a Director, and must be maintained after attainment throughout an individual’s tenure as a Director. Once a Director has achieved the minimum Share ownership, if the Share ownership of the Director falls below the minimum market value for any reason other than such Director’s sale of Shares, including, but not limited to, when a decrease in the price of the Company’s Shares occurs, such Director will have two (2) years to again become compliant with the Share Ownership Policy.

Each director has until the later of March 25, 2023 and three years after their appointment to obtain 100% of the target required under the Share Ownership Policy.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The following discussion describes the significant elements of executive compensation program, with particular emphasis on the process for determining compensation payable to the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity (collectively, the “NEOs”). The NEOs are:

 

   

Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer, Director;

 

   

Mohammad Saleem, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary;

 

   

Rohit Navani, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer;

 

   

Chris Fitzgerald, Chief Revenue Officer; and

 

   

Matt Cameron, Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve our business and financial objectives, we need to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers. We expect our team to possess and demonstrate strong leadership and management capabilities, as well as foster our culture, which is at the foundation of our success and remains a pivotal part of our everyday operations.

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

 

   

provide market-competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

 

   

motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives;

 

   

align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of our business; and

 

   

provide incentives that encourage appropriate levels of risk-taking by our executive officers and provide a strong pay-for-performance relationship.

We offer our executive officers cash compensation in the form of base salary, an annual bonus and equity-based compensation in the form of options pursuant to the Option Pan and RSUs pursuant to the RSU Plan. We provide our base salaries at levels that we believe are necessary to attract and retain executive officer talent. While we have determined that our current executive compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, we evaluate our compensation practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for our executive team.

We believe that equity-based compensation awards motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives, and also align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. We provide base salary to compensate employees for their day-to-day responsibilities, at levels that we believe are necessary to attract and retain executive officer talent. While we have determined that our current executive officer compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, we evaluate our compensation practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for our executive team.

This includes evaluating our compensation philosophy and compensation program as circumstances require. As part of this review process, we expect to be guided by the philosophy and objectives outlined above, as well as other factors which may become relevant, including the ability to attract and retain key employees and to adapt to growth and other changes in our business and industry.

Compensation Governance

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting our Board in fulfilling its governance and supervisory responsibilities, and overseeing our human resources, succession planning, and compensation policies, processes and practices. Our Compensation Committee is also responsible for ensuring that our compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with our risk profile.

Our Board has adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee setting out its responsibilities for administering our compensation programs and reviewing and making recommendations to our Board concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to our directors and officers, the appointment of persons to senior executive positions, the terms of employment and matters of compensation and awards under the Company’s Option Plan and RSU Plan for senior executives and board members. Our Compensation Committee’s oversight includes reviewing objectives, evaluating performance and ensuring that total compensation paid to our executive officers and various other key employees is fair, reasonable and consistent with the objectives of our philosophy and compensation program. See also “Corporate Governance – Committees of our Board – Compensation Committee.”

Principal Elements of Compensation

The compensation of our executive officers includes three major elements: (a) base salary; (b) short-term incentives, consisting of an annual bonus; and (c) long-term equity incentives, currently consisting of Options and RSUs granted from time to time under our Option Plan and RSU Plan, respectively. Perquisites and personal benefits are not a significant element of compensation of our executive officers.

Base Salaries

Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers. Adjustments to base salaries are expected to be determined annually and may be increased based on the executive officer’s success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive officer’s role or responsibilities.

Annual Bonuses

Discretionary annual bonuses are designed to motivate our executive officers to meet our business and financial objectives generally and our annual financial performance targets in particular. The Compensation Committee establishes performance targets with the objective of rewarding senior management with a short-term incentive award proportionate to the success of the Company in achieving those targets. The non-equity annual incentive plans pay a cash bonus that is intended to reward each executive for his or her yearly individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of overall annual corporate performance.

Long-Term Incentives – Options and Restricted Stock Units

The executive officers, along with our directors, employees and consultants, will be eligible to participate in the long-term incentive program which will be comprised of Options and RSUs issued pursuant to the Option Plan and RSU Plan, respectively. The purpose of the long-term incentive program is to promote greater alignment of interests between employees and shareholders and to support the achievement of the Company’s longer-term performance objectives while providing a long-term retention element.

Our Board will be responsible for administering both the Option Plan and the RSU Plan, and the Compensation Committee will make recommendations to our Board in respect of matters relating to the Option Plan and RSU Plan. Previous grants are taken into account when considering new option grants.

The NEOs and Board members are not formally prohibited from purchasing financial instruments designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of Shares, including Shares granted as compensation or otherwise held directly or indirectly by an NEO or a member of the Board. In the view of the Compensation Committee, the structure and nature of executive compensation, including the manner in which Share-based awards are granted, vested and paid-out under the Company’s incentive plan awards, is designed to reduce the need to hedge or offset any potential decrease in the price of Shares and is sufficient to ensure that the interests of the members of the Board and NEOs are adequately aligned with those of the Company generally.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    18


Option Plan

Under the terms of the Option Plan, our Board, or, if authorized by our Board, such committee of the Board to which the Board may choose to delegate such authority, may grant Options to certain “eligible participants”. Eligible participants include any employee, executive officer, director or consultant of: (a) the Company; or (b) any affiliate of the Company (and includes any such person who is on a leave of absence authorized by the Board or the board of directors of any affiliate), and also includes certain permitted assigns of any such person.

Participation in the Option Plan is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of Options will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any eligible participant in any Option is not assignable or transferable. The exercise price for the Options will be the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on an internationally recognized Canadian exchange (including the TSX) for the five trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Option is granted, or such greater amount as the Board may determine; provided, however, that the exercise price of an Option shall not be less than the minimum exercise price required by the applicable rules of the exchange.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under our Option Plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, including the RSU Plan) is 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2019, this represented 6,984,092 Common Shares. Any increase in the issued and outstanding Common Shares will result in an increase in the available number of the Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan, and any exercise of options will make new grants available under the Option Plan.

Unless otherwise fixed by the Board at the time an option is granted (as set forth in a grant agreement), and subject to any applicable rules of the TSX, the Option Plan provides that: (a) the expiry date of an option will be the seventh anniversary of the date of grant; and (b) options will vest over a three year period following the date of such grant as follows:

 

   

on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant: 34%;

 

   

on or after the second anniversary of the date of grant: 33%; and

 

   

on or after the third anniversary of the date of grant: 33%.

In the event that an eligible participant receives Common Shares from the Company in satisfaction of a grant of options during a Company-imposed black-out period, the holder shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares until such black-out period has expired. In the event that a participant’s options are set to expire during a black-out period, such expiry date shall be automatically extended for ten business days after the expiry of the black-out period following the date the relevant black-out period is lifted, terminated or removed.

The maximum number of Common Shares:

 

  a)

issuable to “insiders” (as defined under Section 1 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) at any time under the Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time; and

 

  b)

issued to such insiders within any one-year period under the Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time.

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of Options under the Option Plan, including termination for cause, termination other than for cause and death, subject to the terms of a participant’s employment agreement:

 

Event Provisions

  

Provisions

Termination for Cause    All vested and unvested options held by the holder will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect on the date on which Akumin gives notice of termination for cause.

Ceasing to be a (non-executive)

Director

   The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be a director will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date that is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant (as a result of his or her ceasing to be a director of the Company). Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be a director will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    19


Event Provisions

  

Provisions

Voluntary Resignation or Termination without Cause    The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder voluntarily resigns or is terminated by the Company without cause will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 30 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant (as a result of his or her voluntary resignation or termination without cause). Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder voluntary resigns or is terminated by the Company without cause will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Disability    The Board may in its discretion determine that a holder with a disability shall no longer be an eligible participant. If so, the expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant. Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Retirement    The expiry date for options that had vested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant as a result of his or her retirement in accordance with the Company’s then applicable retirement policy or a determination of the Board will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days following the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant. Options which are outstanding but unvested on the date such holder ceases to be an eligible participant will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect.
Death    The expiry date for options that had vested immediately prior to the death of the holder will be the earlier of the expiry date shown on the relevant grant agreement and the date which is 180 days after the date of such holder’s death. Options that are outstanding but unvested immediately prior to the holder’s death will immediately terminate and become null, void and of no effect upon the death of the holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, but subject to applicable laws and TSX rules, extend the expiry date of options referenced above.

In connection with a change of control of the Company, any surviving or acquiring corporation must:

 

  a)

assume any option outstanding under the Option Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as the Option Plan; or

 

  b)

substitute or replace similar stock options (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the securityholders of the Company as part of the change of control transaction) for those options outstanding under the Option Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as the Option Plan.

In the event any surviving or acquiring corporation neglects or refuses (as determined by the Board, acting reasonably) to assume any options or to substitute or replace similar stock options for those outstanding options under the Option Plan, then with respect to any options which remain outstanding, the vesting of such options will automatically and without further action by the Board or the Company be immediately accelerated so that such options will be fully vested. In addition, in such event, the Board may determine that outstanding options will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such change of control transaction. The Board may also, in its discretion, conditionally or otherwise, in the event of a change of control subject to the terms of the Option Plan, accelerate the vesting date of unvested options and to modify the terms of options to assist the holders to tender their securities in a takeover bid.

Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Option Plan or any portion thereof in accordance with applicable legislation, and subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval; provided, however, that such amendment, suspension or termination will not, without the consent of the eligible participant, alter or impair any options previously granted under the Option Plan, or any rights pursuant thereto granted previously to any eligible participant.

The Board may, subject to any necessary regulatory approval, at its discretion from time to time, amend the Option Plan and the terms and conditions of any option thereafter to be granted and may make such amendment for the purpose of complying with any changes in any relevant law, rule, regulation, regulatory requirement or requirement of the TSX, or for any other purpose which may be permitted by law, provided always that any such amendment will:

 

  a)

not adversely alter or impair any option previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the Option Plan;

 

  b)

be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX; and

 

  c)

be subject to shareholder approval, where required by law, the requirements of the TSX or the Option Plan or any other governmental entity.

Shareholder approval is required for certain amendments to the Option Plan, including, but not limited to, amendments providing for: (a) an increase in the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable from the Company’s treasury pursuant to options granted under the Option Plan; and (b) an extension of the time under which an option expires beyond its original expiry date.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    20


The Board may from time to time, in its discretion and without the approval of shareholders or eligible participants, make changes to the Option Plan any option which may include, but are not limited to, the following matters:

 

  a)

any amendment of a “housekeeping” nature, including, without limitation, those made to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the Option Plan, correct or supplement any provision of the Option Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Option Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the Option Plan regarding administration of the Option Plan;

 

  b)

changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any option;

 

  c)

any amendment to the Option Plan respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the Option Plan; and

 

  d)

an amendment of the Option Plan or an option as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the Option Plan, the participants or the shareholders of the Company.

RSU Plan

Under the terms of the RSU Plan, our Board, or if authorized by our Board, such committee of the Board to which the Board may choose to delegate such authority, may grant RSUs to “eligible participants”. Eligible participants include any employee, executive officer, director or consultant of: (a) the Company; or (b) any affiliate of the Company (and includes any such person who is on a leave of absence authorized by the Board or the board of directors of any affiliate), and also includes certain permitted assigns of any such person.

Participation in the RSU Plan is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of RSUs will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any eligible participant in any RSU is not assignable or transferable. Each RSU entitles an eligible participant to receive one Common Share in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSU Plan.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under our RSU Plan (and under any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, including the Option Plan) is 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are issued and outstanding from time to time. As at December 31, 2019, this represented 6,984,092 Common Shares. For greater certainty, any increase in the issued and outstanding Common Shares will result in an increase in the available number of the Common Shares issuable under the RSU Plan, and any exercise of RSUs will make new grants available under the RSU Plan. Each RSU granted or credited to an eligible participant entitles such holder to one Common Share in the capital of the Company.

Except as otherwise provided in a grant agreement or any other provision of the RSU Plan, the vesting dates shall be determined as follows:

 

   

12 of the RSUs granted shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant; and

 

   

12 of the RSUs granted shall vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant.

In the event that an eligible participant receives Common Shares from the Company in satisfaction of a grant of RSUs during a Company-imposed black-out period, the holder shall not be entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares until such black-out period has expired. In the event that a participant’s RSUs are set to expire during a black-out period, such expiry date shall be automatically extended for ten business days after the expiry of the black-out period following the date the relevant black-out period is lifted, terminated or removed.

The maximum number of Common Shares:

 

  a)

issuable to “insiders” (as defined under Section 1 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) at any time pursuant to the exercise of RSUs granted under the RSU Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time; and

 

  b)

issued to such insiders within any one year period under the RSU Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which are outstanding from time to time.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    21


The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of RSUs under the RSU Plan, including termination for cause, termination other than for cause and death, subject to the terms of a participant’s employment agreement:

 

Event Provisions

  

Provisions

Termination for cause    All unvested RSUs expire on the termination date and are of no further force or effect and such holder shall no longer be eligible for a grant of RSUs.
Ceasing to be a Director    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Termination other than for cause    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Disability    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Retirement    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.
Death    All unvested RSUs will vest and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the vesting date.

In connection with a change of control of the Company, our Board has the right to provide for the conversion or exchange of any outstanding RSUs into or for units, rights or other securities in any entity participating in or resulting from a change of control, provided that the value of previously granted RSUs and the rights of participants are not materially adversely affected by any such changes.

Our Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the RSU Plan at any time, or from time to time, amend, revise or discontinue the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan or of any RSU granted under the RSU Plan and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any required regulatory, TSX and shareholder approval, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the RSU Plan or as required by applicable laws.

The Board may from time to time, in its discretion and without the approval of shareholders of the Company or eligible participants, make changes to the RSU Plan or any RSUs that do not require the approval of shareholders of the Company, provided always that such amendment or revision shall: (a) not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the RSU Plan; (b) be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX; and (c) where required by law, be subject to shareholder approval, the requirements of the TSX or the RSU Plan. On this basis, amendments may include, but are not limited to the following matters:

 

  a)

any amendment of a “housekeeping” nature, including, without limitation, those made to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the RSU Plan, correct or supplement any provision of the RSU Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the RSU Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the RSU Plan regarding administration of the RSU Plan;

 

  b)

changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any RSUs;

 

  c)

any amendment to the RSU Plan respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the RSU Plan; and

 

  d)

an amendment of the RSU Plan or an RSU as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the RSU Plan, the participants or the shareholders of the Company.

In the event a dividend becomes payable on the Common Shares, then on the payment date for such dividend, each participant’s notional account shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board in respect of any grant of RSUs, be credited with additional RSUs (including fractional RSUs) of the same kind as credited in such participant’s applicable notional account, the number of which shall be determined by dividing: (i) the amount determining by multiplying: (a) the number of RSUs in such participant’s notional account (whether vested or unvested) on the record date for the payment of such dividend by; (b) the dividend paid per Common Share; by (ii) the market value of a Common Share on the dividend payment date for such dividend, in each case, with fractions computed to two decimal places. Such additional RSUs (including fractional RSUs), if credited, shall vest on the same basis as the underlying RSUs.

Our executive compensation programs place a large emphasis on at-risk pay in the form of equity-based compensation such that our NEOs are aligned with the same return on investment that shareholders have realized and would realize over the long term. Equity and non-equity compensation programs for our NEOs are tied to financial and non-financial metrics designed for the specific NEO and their duties and responsibilities and our long-term business plans, which include building scale, increasing profitability and improving return on capital. As a result, total compensation may not always be tied to share performance. It is our philosophy to pay compensation to our NEOs and other executive officers at competitive levels in order to retain and motivate those executives who are critical to the long-term success of the Company.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets out information concerning the compensation earned by, paid to, or awarded to the persons determined to be NEOs in Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018. The Company completed its initial public offering on December 1, 2017. As a result, compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and prior periods have not been disclosed.

Corporate Governance

General

The Board believes that sound corporate governance practices are essential to the proper management and operation of our business. This includes compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and best practices that go beyond the requirements mandated by regulation.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    25


We recognize that good corporate governance plays an important role in our overall success and in enhancing shareholder value and, accordingly, we have adopted certain corporate governance policies and practices.

Disclosure of our governance practices as required under National Instrument 58-101Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) is set out below and describes our approach to corporate governance.

To comply with these various standards and achieve best practices, we have adopted comprehensive corporate governance policies and procedures. Our key policies and documents include the following:

 

   

Mandate of the Board of Directors

 

   

Charters of the Board Committees, including the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee

 

   

Code of Conduct

 

   

Whistleblower Policy

 

   

Disclosure Policy

 

   

Insider Trading Policy

 

   

Corporate Governance Guidelines (which includes our majority voting policy)

Composition of our Board and Board Committees

Under our Articles, our Board is to consist of a minimum of one and a maximum of 10 directors, as determined from time to time by the directors.

The size of the Board is currently set at five directors. The directors will be elected by shareholders at each annual meeting of shareholders and all directors will hold office for a term expiring at the close of the next annual meeting or until their respective successors are elected or appointed.

Pursuant to the disclosure contemplated by Item 15 of Form 58-101F1 – Corporate Governance Disclosure, the Company currently has no female (0%) directors. None (0%) of the five NEO’s as measured for Fiscal 2019 are women. As to gender, the Board and the Governance Committee are receptive to increasing the representation of women on the Board as turnover occurs or appropriate candidates come forward, taking into account the skills, background, experience and knowledge desired at that particular time by the Board and its Committees. The Company continues to consider the level of representation of women, along with other markers of diversity, when making executive appointments and, in general, with regard to succession planning.

Director Independence

A director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Pursuant to NI 52-110, an independent director is a director who is free from any direct or indirect relationship which could, in the view of our Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director’s independent judgment. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that of the five directors on our Board, Riadh Zine will not currently be considered independent because of his management role with the Company and Stan Dunford will not be considered independent because of his present ownership of more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company (pursuant to applicable securities laws).

Directorships with Other Reporting Issuers

The following directors of the Company currently serve on the board of directors of reporting issuers (or the equivalent in a jurisdiction outside of Canada) other than the Company. Our Board has not adopted a director interlock policy, but is keeping informed of other public directorships held by its members.

Meetings of Independent Directors and Conflicts of Interest

Our Board believes that, given its size and structure, it is able to facilitate independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities.

 

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    26


If the chair of the Company (the “Chair”) is not independent, then the Company shall appoint an independent lead director from among the directors who shall serve for such term as the Board may determine. In circumstances where the Chair has a material interest in a matter before the Board and cannot participate owing to a conflict in respect thereof, the lead director shall fill in for the role of the Chair (for a whole meeting or any part of a meeting). Murray Lee has been appointed as lead director by our Board and is responsible for ensuring that the directors who are independent have opportunities to meet with only the independent directors to the exclusion of non-independent directors and management. The lead director shall be appointed and replaced from time to time by a majority of independent directors and shall be an independent director. Discussions will be led by the lead director who will provide feedback subsequently to the Chair.

A director who has a material interest in a matter before our Board or any committee on which he or she serves is required to disclose such interest as soon as the director becomes aware of it. In situations where a director has a material interest in a matter to be considered by our Board or any committee on which he or she serves, such director may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors will also be required to comply with the relevant provisions of the OBCA regarding conflicts of interest.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

Our Board has not adopted director term limits or other automatic mechanisms of board renewal. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of board renewal, the Governance Committee of our Board will seek to maintain the composition of our Board in a way that provides, in the judgement of our Board, the best mix of skills and experience to provide for our overall stewardship. Our Governance Committee also is expected to conduct a process for the assessment of our Board, each committee and each director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and performance, and to report evaluation results to our Board.

Mandate of our Board of Directors

Our Board is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs, including providing guidance and strategic oversight to management. Our Board has adopted a formal mandate in the form set forth in Appendix “B” that includes the following:

 

   

appointing the President and Chief Executive Officer;

 

   

approving the corporate goals and objectives that the President and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for meeting and reviewing the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer against such corporate goals and objectives;

 

   

taking steps to satisfy itself as to the integrity of the President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers and that the President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers create a culture of integrity throughout the organization; and

 

   

reviewing and approving management’s strategic and business plans.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for the Chair, which sets out the Chair’s key responsibilities, including, among others, duties relating to setting Board meeting agendas, chairing Board and shareholder meetings, director development and communicating with shareholders and regulators. Our Board has also adopted a written position description for our lead director.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for each of our committee chairs which sets out each of the committee chair’s key responsibilities, including, among other things, duties relating to setting committee meeting agendas, chairing committee meetings and working with the respective committee and management to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, the effective functioning of the committee.

Our Board has adopted a written position description for our President and Chief Executive Officer which sets out the key responsibilities of our President and Chief Executive Officer, including, among other duties in relation to providing overall leadership, ensuring the development of a strategic plan and recommending such plan to our Board for consideration, ensuring the development of an annual corporate plan and budget that supports the strategic plan and recommending such plan to our Board for consideration and supervising day-to-day management and communicating with shareholders and regulators.

 

AKUMIN INC.  |  Management Information Circular  |  2020    27


Orientation and Continuing Education

We have implemented an orientation program for new directors under which a new director will meet with the Chair, the lead director, members of senior management and our secretary. It is anticipated that new directors will be provided with comprehensive orientation and education as to the nature and operation of Akumin and our business, the role of our Board and its committees, and the contribution that an individual director is expected to make. Our Governance Committee will be responsible for overseeing director continuing education designed to maintain or enhance the skills and abilities of the directors and to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of our business remains current. The chair of each committee will be responsible for coordinating orientation and continuing director development programs relating to the committee’s mandate.

Code of Conduct

Our Board has adopted a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for maintaining our and our subsidiaries integrity, reputation, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code of Conduct addresses conflicts of interest, protection of our assets, confidentiality, fair dealing with shareholders, competitors and employees, insider trading, compliance with laws and reporting any illegal or unethical behaviour. As part of the Code of Conduct, any person subject to the Code of Conduct is required to avoid or fully disclose interests or relationships that are harmful or detrimental to our best interests or that may give rise to real, potential or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board will have ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Code of Conduct and it will monitor compliance through our Governance Committee. Directors, officers and employees will be required to annually certify that they have not violated the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct will be filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Committees of our Board

Our Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

Detailed information about our Audit Committee, including the mandate of the Audit Committee and a copy of its charter, can be found in our Annual Information Form for the year period ended December 31, 2019 on www.sedar.com under the heading “Directors and Officers – Audit Committee”.

Our Governance Committee must consist of at least three directors, all of whom must be independent directors.

For additional details regarding the relevant education and experience of each member of our Governance Committee, including the direct experience that is relevant to each committee member’s responsibilities, see “Election of Directors” above.

As all of the members of our Governance Committee must be independent, our Board believes that our Governance Committee will be able to conduct its activities in an objective manner.

identifying individuals qualified to be nominated as members of our Board;

Our Governance Committee is responsible for establishing and implementing procedures to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board and the contributions of individual Board members. Our Governance Committee also takes reasonable steps to evaluate and assess, on an annual basis, directors’ performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our Chair and committee chairs. The assessment will address, among other things, individual director independence, individual director and overall Board skills, and individual director financial literacy. Our Board will receive and consider the recommendations from our Governance Committee regarding the results of the evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of our Board, committees of our Board, individual Board members, our Chair and committee chairs.

the recruitment, development and retention of our senior executives;

 

   

maintaining talent management and succession planning systems and processes relating to our senior management;

Akumin Announces Change of Location and Format of

Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders

April 27, 2020 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU.U, AKU) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today that it will now hold its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) on May 14, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in a virtual only format whereby shareholders may attend and participate in the Meeting via live audio webcast.

The Meeting was previously scheduled to be held at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP. Out of an abundance of caution, to proactively deal with the unprecedented public health impact of coronavirus disease 2019, also known as COVID-19, and to mitigate risks to the health and safety of our communities, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, Akumin will now hold its Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live audio webcast. All shareholders, regardless of geographic location and equity ownership will have an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting and engage with directors of the Corporation and management as well as other shareholders. Shareholders will no longer be able to attend the Meeting in person.

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting, ask questions and vote, all in real time, online at https://web.lumiagm.com/293263945. Non-registered shareholders (being shareholders who hold their common shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, custodian, nominee or other intermediary) who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able toattend the Meeting as guests, but guests will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

How to Vote Before the Meeting

Before the Meeting, shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 7, 2020 may vote by completing the form of proxy or voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions provided therein. Non-registered shareholders should carefully follow all instructions provided by their intermediaries to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Please refer to section “Voting Information” of Akumin’s management information circular dated April 7, 2020 (the “Circular”) for additional details on how to vote by proxy before the Meeting and the matters to be voted upon.

How to Vote at the Meeting

At the Meeting, registered shareholders may vote by completing a ballot online, as further described below under “How to Attend the Virtual Only Meeting”. If you are a non-registered shareholder and wish to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting, you MUST insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your intermediary, follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary AND register yourself as your proxyholder, as described below under “How to Appoint a Proxyholder”. By doing so, you are instructing your intermediary to appoint you as its proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your intermediary.

Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to attend the Meeting as guests. This is because the Corporation and our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (“TSX Trust”), do not have a record of the non-registered shareholders of the Corporation, and, as a result, will have no knowledge of your shareholdings or entitlement to vote unless you appoint yourself as proxyholder.


How to Appoint a Proxyholder

The following applies to shareholders who wish to appoint a person (a “third party proxyholder”) other than the management nominees identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form as proxyholder, including non-registered shareholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third party proxyholder to attend and participate at the Meeting as their proxyholder and vote their common shares MUST submit their form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, appointing that person as proxyholder AND register that proxyholder online, as described below. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Control Number that is required to vote at the Meeting and only being able to attend as a guest.

 

   

Step 1: Submit your form of proxy or voting instruction form: To appoint a third party proxyholder, insert that person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. This must be completed before registering such proxyholder, which is an additional step to be completed once you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form.

 

   

Step 2: Register your proxyholder: To register a third party proxyholder, shareholders must visit www.voteproxyonline.com by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 12, 2020 (the “voting deadline”) and provide TSX Trust with the required proxyholder contact information so that TSX Trust may provide the proxyholder with a Control Number via email. Without a Control Number, proxyholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to participate as a guest.

How to Attend the Virtual Only Meeting

Attending the Meeting online enables registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders, including non-registered shareholders who have duly appointed a third party proxyholder, to participate at the Meeting, ask questions and vote, all in real time. Registered shareholders and duly appointed third party proxyholders can vote at the appropriate times during the Meeting. Guests, including non-registered beneficial shareholders who have not duly appointed a third party proxyholder, can log in to the Meeting as set out below. Guests can listen to the Meeting but are not able to vote.

 

   

Log in online at https://web.lumiagm.com/293263945. We recommend that you log in at least one hour before the Meeting starts

 

   

Click “I have a control number” and then enter your control number (on your proxy form)

 

   

Enter the password: AKU2020 (case sensitive).

OR

 

   

Click “Guest” and then complete the online form. Guests will not be able to vote.

Registered shareholders: The control number located on the form of proxy or in the email notification you received is your control number.

Duly appointed proxyholders: TSX Trust will provide the proxyholder with a control number by e-mail after the proxy voting deadline has passed and the proxyholder has been duly appointed AND registered as described in “How to Appoint a Proxyholder” above.


If you attend the Meeting online, it is important that you are connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure connectivity for the duration of the Meeting. You should allow ample time to check into the Meeting online and complete the related procedure.

United States Beneficial Owners: To attend and vote at the virtual Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Meeting.

Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a legal proxy form. After first obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit a copy of your legal proxy to TSX Trust. Requests for registration should be directed to:

Akumin Provides Business Update

May 13, 2020 – Toronto, ON – Akumin Inc. (TSX: AKU, AKU.U) (“Akumin” or the “Corporation”) announced today its financial results and management’s discussion and analysis for the quarter-ended March 31, 2020 would be available on or before June 5, 2020 due to logistics and delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Corporation is relying upon blanket relief granted to all market participants by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada entitling them to a 45-day extension period for all filings due on or before June 1, 2020.

Until such time as the financial results and management’s discussion and analysis are filed, the Corporation’s management and insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in section 9 of National Policy 11-207Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions. Except as described below, the Corporation confirms that there have been no material business developments since the date of its 2019 annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2019, copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Commenting on the business impact of COVID-19, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Akumin said, “We’re proud of the response from our employees, radiologists and communities which has in part allowed us to continue to provide essential imaging services and a safe alternative to hospitals for imaging procedures during this crisis. With the support of all of our stakeholder groups, we have been able to manage our costs across our network during this period by deferring or reducing compensation and certain payments. We consolidated volume from 17 centers we temporarily closed into nearby locations that remained open and reduced operating hours at other clinics while also establishing COVID-19 designated centers in our core markets to maintain safe, essential imaging for symptomatic patients. We furloughed or laid off almost 29% of our workforce and the remainder of our employees agreed to hours reductions or to salary cuts of up to 20%. Many landlords and equipment, inventory and services providers accepted altered payment schedules during these periods when many patients are delaying their essential imaging services.”

“As a result of these efforts, we have maintained a strong cash balance as at March 31, 2020 of approximately $17 million and we have not yet needed to draw against our revolving credit facility. During April, our liquidity position was improved by receipt of $1 million under the first appropriation made by Health and Human Services (HHS) to Medicare providers pursuant to the CARES Act. Additional grants may be available to us through subsequent appropriations under this program. Further, we received almost $3 million of accelerated Medicare payments under the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payments Program from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS). These payments are required to be repaid beginning 120 days after their receipt in April through the adjudication of Medicare claims over a future period,” Mr. Zine continued.


“As some states and local authorities begin to lift social distancing requirements and other restraints on medical operations, we have begun to see volume return in those markets. As compared to our daily average relative value unit volume during the first week of March 2020, our volume declined approximately 55% on a blended basis across the network by mid April when signs of recovery started to show.”

“With the recovery in progress and our decisive action to contain costs during the implementation of stay-at-home and similar orders across the U.S., we are confident Akumin will emerge from this crisis in a strong position, well placed for the future growth and consolidation that drives our industry.”

“Finally,” Mr. Zine finished, “I want to say thank you to all of the personnel in our clinics who have been dealing with this crisis on the front lines. In addition to adapting to a changing clinical environment, they adhered to evolving CDC protocols, monitored personal protective equipment, were subject to increased reporting requirements, and heightened decontamination procedures, all while continuing to provide essential healthcare services to our patients and ensuring Akumin was able to weather this pandemic.”

Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 1 and IAS 8 which became effective January 1, 2020.

Definition of a Business – Amendments to IFRS 3: The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term ‘outputs’ is amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits.

Definition of Material – Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: The IASB has made amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to use a consistent definition of materiality throughout IFRS and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, and clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information.

The adoption of the amendments to these standards did not have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements in the current or comparative periods. The Company was not required to make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

Business combinations

 

  i)

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging centre in Coral Springs, Florida, for cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million (Coral Springs Acquisition). In accordance with the transaction agreement, $100,000 of this purchase price (Holdback Fund) has been withheld as security for indemnity obligations until July 1, 2020. This asset acquisition was considered a business combination under IFRS 3. The Company has made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

The goodwill assessed on acquisition, expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, reflects the Company’s expectation of future benefits from the acquired business and workforce, and potential synergies from cost savings. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, this acquisition contributed revenue of approximately $0.7 million and income before tax of approximately $45 thousand to the Company’s consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the ADG Acquisitions in 2019, specifically for SFL Radiology Holdings, LLC, is subject to an earn-out (the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability) based on its annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs including certain operating expenses, capital expenditures and incremental working capital. In accordance with the purchase agreement, 50% of this liability is expected to be settled in the latter half of 2020 and the balance in the first half of 2021.

The value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability has been estimated by management using a probability weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management estimated the fair value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability as at May 31, 2019 at approximately $15 million based on a discount rate of approximately 7% and management’s estimated probability weighted range of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out

Senior loans payable

The May 2019 Loans and Wesley Chapel Loan are collectively referred to as the Senior Loans.

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019, the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (Term Loan A, Term Loan B and collectively, Term Loans) of $66,000,000 and $266,000,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000,000, of which $3,300,000 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the May 2019 Revolving Facility, and together with the Term Loans, the May 2019 Loans). $16 million of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn (in addition to approximately $1.3 million under the May 2019 Revolving Facility) by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance the West Palm Beach Acquisition. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used during 2019 to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482,181, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596,250, partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300,000 net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. The fair value of the May 2019 Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

The May 2019 Credit Agreement provides for the following (capitalized terms used below in this note and not defined elsewhere in these notes have the respective meanings given to them in the May 2019 Credit Agreement):

 

   

Interest

The interest rates payable on the May 2019 Loans are as follows: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate and (c) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus Applicable Rate. All advances under the May 2019 Loans are currently classified as Eurodollar Rate Loans. The annualized interest rate paid under the May 2019 Credit Agreement as at March 31, 2020 was approximately 7.4% per annum (March 31, 2019 – nil%). With respect to interest rate sensitivity as at March 31, 2020, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would have increased interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 by approximately $0.9 million (2019 – $nil).

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, Akumin FL entered into a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Lender, respectively) with a face value of $1,500,000 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under the Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019, together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596,250 (face value of $1,500,000 and accrued interest of $96,250). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $6,830 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the 2019 consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

  d)

The maximum aggregate amount of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out that may be earned over the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period is $4,000,000.

Management estimated the fair value of Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $160,790 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability-weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14). The Subordinated Note – Earn-out was revalued at $188,395 as at March 31, 2020 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability-weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at March 31, 2020, the range of estimated undiscounted Subordinated Note – Earn-out payable is between $nil and $218,183.

Payments and termination

Fifty percent of these RSUs vested between January 1 and March 12, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and 25,000 of these vested RSUs were settled for common shares prior to March 31, 2019.

 

  b)

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the following equity issuances occurred at the Company:

 

  i)

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had 337,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 285,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had 52,500 RSUs outstanding.

The stock-based compensation related to RSUs, recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $14,138 (2019 – $469,807).

The stock-based compensation related to stock options, recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $578,394 (2019 – $547,806).

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, the management evaluates the developments on a regular basis and accrues a liability when it believes a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the amount or any estimable range of reasonably possible or probable loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.

During Q1 2020 a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most effected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services. Depending on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is potential for the Company to incur incremental credit losses beyond what is currently expected and potential reduction in revenue and income and asset impairments.

Segmented financial information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

Risk management arising from financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the normalized expected market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current liabilities were as follows:

 

     March 31,      December 31,  
     2020      2019  
     $      $

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

 

   

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out are subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.

There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes information regarding the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments:

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had 52,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 10,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on April 22, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

  ii)

During May 2018, the Company had issued 525,000 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $4.00 per common share. These warrants were not exercised into common shares and expired on May 2, 2020.

 

  iii)

During April 2020, the Company received approximately $1 million under the first appropriation made by Health and Human Services (HHS) to Medicare providers pursuant to the CARES Act. Additional grants may be available to the Company through subsequent appropriations under this program. Further, the Company received approximately $3 million of accelerated Medicare payments under the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payments Program from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS). These payments are required to be repaid beginning 120 days after their receipt in April through the adjudication of Medicare claims over a future period.

 

  iv)

The credit agreement related to the May 2019 Loans was amended on June 2, 2020. Pursuant to this amendment, Akumin’s revolving credit facility has been increased from $50 million to $69 million. Any draw on the revolving credit facility above a principal amount of $50 million will require consent of lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of Term Loan B facility and lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of the other senior credit facilities.    As at the time of the amendment, the Company had approximately $28.4 million drawn on its revolving credit facility.

In addition, among other things, the amendment will adjust Akumin’s leverage and fixed charge ratios for the next four quarters providing the Company with greater flexibility in its financial ratio covenants. While no prepayment is required, if a prepayment is made on the Term Loan B facility, an additional payment equal to 2% of the amount prepaid will need to be paid at the time of prepayment within the next 12 months and equal to 1% of the amount prepaid within the subsequent 12 months.

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   2


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated June 3, 2020 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;

 

   

general market conditions in our industry;

 

   

our ability to service existing debt;

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;

 

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   4


   

a stable competitive environment; and

 

   

no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Overview

We are a provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with freestanding centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies in the United States provides for long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

 

     As at Mar 31,

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   5


Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

 

   

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, other payors, and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

 

   

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 3 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements relating to the amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 1 and IAS 8 which became effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of the amendments to these standards did not have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in the current or comparative periods. The Company was not required to make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Tuck-in Acquisitions

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, in two separate transactions, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Coral Springs, Florida and a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million (the “2020 Acquisitions”). Both acquisitions were opportunities for the Company to increase its presence in their respective markets.

COVID-19

During Q1 2020 a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most effected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to

 

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   8


safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services. Depending on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is potential for the Company to incur incremental credit losses beyond what is currently expected and potential reduction in revenue and income and asset impairments.

Exercise of Certain RSUs

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had 337,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 285,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, resulting in 52,500 vested RSUs outstanding as at March 31, 2020.

Subsequent Events

 

a)

10,000 of the Company’s vested RSUs settled for common shares on April 22, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

 

b)

During May 2018, the Company had issued 525,000 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $4.00 per common share. These warrants were not exercised into common shares and expired on May 2, 2020.

 

c)

During April 2020, the Company received approximately $1 million under the first appropriation made by Health and Human Services (HHS) to Medicare providers pursuant to the CARES Act. Additional grants may be available to the Company through subsequent appropriations under this program. Further, the Company received approximately $3 million of accelerated Medicare payments under the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payments Program from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS). These payments are required to be repaid beginning 120 days after their receipt in April through the adjudication of Medicare claims over a future period.

 

d)

The credit agreement related to the May 2019 Loans was amended on June 2, 2020. Pursuant to this amendment, Akumin’s revolving credit facility has been increased from $50 million to $69 million. Any draw on the revolving credit facility above a principal amount of $50 million will require consent of lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of Term Loan B facility and lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of the other senior credit facilities. As at the time of the amendment, the Company had approximately $28.4 million drawn on its revolving credit facility.

In addition, among other things, the amendment will adjust Akumin’s leverage and fixed charge ratios for the next four quarters providing the Company with greater flexibility in its financial ratio covenants. While no prepayment is required, if a prepayment is made on the Term Loan B facility, an additional payment equal to 2% of the amount prepaid will need to be paid at the time of prepayment within the next 12 months and equal to 1% of the amount prepaid within the subsequent 12 months.

Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 were 1,525 (in thousands) compared to 1,066 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. In fiscal 2019, the Company completed an acquisition in Davie, Florida effective April 1, 2019, the acquisition of Advanced Diagnostic Group and its related entities effective May 31, 2019, an acquisition in Deltona, Florida effective May 31, 2019, an acquisition in El Paso, Texas effective August 16, 2019 and an acquisition in West Palm Beach, Florida effective October 4, 2019 (collectively, the 2019 Acquisitions”). The Company completed the 2020 Acquisitions effective January 1, 2020. Excluding the 2019 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 1,052 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to 1,061 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, which represents a decrease of approximately 1%. Excluding March 2020, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, RVUs on a same-center basis for the two-month period ended February 2020 increased by approximately 7% compared to the two-month period ended February 2019.

Revenue was $71,262 and $47,551 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, approximately 32% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 14% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 37% to 35% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. This decrease is mainly attributable to the 2019 and 2020 Acquisitions.

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 15%.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, rent and utilities remained consistent at 4% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, rent and utilities was 10% of revenue in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 9%, compared to 7% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to the 2019 and 2020 Acquisitions.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses remained consistent to 9% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies were 10% of revenue in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was $14,968 compared to $9,251 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. The variance is mainly attributable the 2019 Acquisitions, and the 2020 Acquisitions, partly offset by the negative impact of COVID-19 during March 2020. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was 21% compared to 19% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. The higher margin was mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net income attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $1,537 (2% of revenue) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $2,169 (5% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to disruption to volume due to COVID-19, partly offset by timing of the above noted 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions.

Total debt consists of borrowing under the credit facility, subordinated debt, subordinated debt-earn-out, Wesley Chapel Loan and lease liabilities (including finance leases and other leases), including both the current and non-current portions.

Cash was $16,620 as at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $6,769, as compared to $23,389 as at December 31, 2019. The decrease in cash during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was due to $636 used in operating activities, $5,871 used in investing activities and $262 used in financing activities.

Accounts receivable were $91,717 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $8,850, as compared to $82,867 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is mainly due to seasonally lower cash collections, 2020 Acquisitions and impact of COVID-19 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

As at March 31, 2020, assuming pre-COVID-19 revenue levels, the Company’s days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) were approximately 108 days (approximately 98 days at December 31, 2019). Excluding attorney/auto payors, DSO were approximately 74 days (approximately 66 days at December 31, 2019). The increase in DSO is mainly due to seasonally lower collections, disruption from billing integration of recent acquisitions, 2020 Acquisitions and impact of COVID-19 in the quarter as well as higher accounts receivable from attorney/auto payors with a longer collection cycle.

Property and equipment was $204,780 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $5,156, as compared to $199,624 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to property and equipment recognized in the purchase price allocations for the 2020 Acquisitions (collectively, $4,215), additions to right of use assets ($3,912), and capital expenditures ($5,645) partly offset by depreciation ($7,815) and net disposals ($801).

Intangible assets were $8,703 as at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $684, as compared to $9,387 as at December 31, 2019. This decrease is mainly due to amortization recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $343,896 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $1,674 of as compared to $342,222 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is attributable to goodwill recognized from the 2020 Acquisitions.

Total debt (excluding other lease liabilities) was $360,680 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $10,244 as compared to $350,436 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is attributable to increases in the May 2019 Loans ($3,600), non-cash interest accretion ($744), loss on revaluation of derivative financial instruments liability ($4,264), loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($4) and increase in finance lease liabilities ($2,557), partly offset by loan repayments ($925).

The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $140,822 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $2,130 as compared to $138,692 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is due to stock-based compensation of $593 and net income of $1,537 earned by the Company during the three-months ended March 31, 2020.

Non-controlling interests were $3,083 as at March 31, 2020, an increase of $179, as compared to $2,904 as at December 31, 2019. The non-controlling interests are associated with the Texas Acquisition. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 net income attributable to the non-controlling interests was $615, partly offset by distributions of $436.

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   13


During the quarterly periods presented above, the Company experienced significant growth through acquisitions. The quarter-to-quarter results have been impacted by the timing of these acquisitions. See “Recent Developments” and “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results” of this MD&A for additional information.

The table below shows selected non-IFRS financial information on a last twelve-month (“LTM”) basis for the following periods. All of the following periods include contribution from any acquisition made during the period only starting from the date of such acquisition. For example, the 2020 Acquisitions are included only from and after January 1, 2020. Similarly, the 2019 Acquisitions occurred at various times during 2019. As a result, the LTM period ended March 31, 2020 does not contain a full twelve months contribution from all of these acquisitions. The LTM period ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by COVID-19 during March 2020. The Company monitors the following information to measure its overall financial performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such issuances are noted in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $16,620.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had $360,680 of senior loans payable, derivative financial instruments liability, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2020, $5,906 of these liabilities are due within one year.

 

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   14


Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

As at March 31, 2020, we had other lease liabilities of $133,045, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of March 31, 2020, $8,582 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $10,973. As of March 31, 2020, $2,195 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

May 2019 Loans

On May 31, 2019 the Company amended its previous credit agreement dated August 15, 2018 (such amended credit agreement, the May 2019 Credit Agreement) whereby it increased the size of its credit facilities and increased the number of syndicated lenders from five to nine financial institutions. Under the terms of the May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received a term loan A and term loan B (“Term Loan A”, “Term Loan B” and collectively, “Term Loans”) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, of which $3,300 was utilized as at May 31, 2019 (the “May 2019 Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loans, the “May 2019 Loans”). $16,000 of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn (in addition to approximately $1,300 under the May 2019 Revolving Facility) by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance an acquisition near West Palm Beach, Florida. The term of the May 2019 Loans is five years. The May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance acquisitions completed in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300, net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. In August 2019, the Company used $11 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance an acquisition in El Paso, Texas and in December 2019, the Company used $3.2 million from the May 2019 Revolving Facility to finance two small acquisitions undertaken in January 2020 in Florida and Illinois. As at March 31, 2020, this credit facility had a balance of approximately, $25.7 million. Recent amendments to the May 2019 Loans are noted above under “Subsequent Events”.

Wesley Chapel Loan

The Company, through a subsidiary, has a purchase money secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of March 31, 2020, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,420 (amortized cost of $1,357).

Subordinated Note Payable – Earn-out

As part of an acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   15


In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019 together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596 (face value of $1,500 and accrued interest of $96). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $7 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note - Earn-out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note—Earn-out was revalued at $188 as at March 31, 2020 and the change in fair value was recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

ADG Acquisition – Earn-out

A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the Company’s acquisition of its Georgia business on May 31, 2019, is subject to an earn-out (the “ADG Acquisition Earn-out”) based on its annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs including certain operating expenses, capital expenditures and incremental working capital. In accordance with the purchase agreement, 50% of this liability is expected to be settled in the latter half of 2020 and the balance in the first half of 2021.

Management estimated the fair value of the ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability as at May 31, 2019 at approximately $15 million. The ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability was revalued at approximately $8 million as at March 31, 2020 and the change in fair value was recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition Earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition Earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the normalized expected market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a further derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract (which was most recently amended in February 2020), with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the May 2019 Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000 as at July 31, 2019) and a termination date of July 31, 2022 with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum and (ii) a floor rate of 1.1475% (LIBOR) per annum.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases, May 2019 Loans and Wesley Chapel Loan. Amortization is recorded using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies the derivative financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition Earn-out, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   16


The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. Refer to note 17 of our December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding risk management arising from financial instruments. There have been no significant changes to those risks impacting the Company since December 31, 2019, nor has there been a significant change in the composition of its financial instruments since December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of approximately $181 as at March 31, 2020.

Share Information

As of the date of this MD&A, we have 70,135,928 common shares issued and outstanding. If all of the stock options of the Company that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to our stock option plan were to be exercised, including options that are not yet exercisable, we would be required to issue up to an additional 5,767,120 common shares, or approximately 8.22% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

In addition, if all of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) that have been issued and are outstanding pursuant to the RSU plan of the Company were to be exercised, we would be required to issue up to an additional 42,500 common shares, or approximately 0.06% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of this MD&A on a non-diluted basis.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

 

 

AKUMIN INC    | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q1 2020   17


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at net realizable value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and other payors for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Risk Factors

For a detailed description of risk factors associated with the Company, refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2020 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In addition, we are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of operations, including risks relating to cash flows from operations, liquidity, capital reserves, market rate fluctuations and internal controls over financial reporting. Our overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on our consolidated financial performance. Financial risk management is carried out under practices approved by our Audit Committee. This includes reviewing and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding the adequacy of our risk management policies and procedures with regard to identification of the Company’s principal risks, and implementation of appropriate systems and controls to manage these risks.

Additional Information

Additional information relating to the Company, including the Company’s annual information form, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Company’s shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols “AKU.U” and “AKU”.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q1 Fiscal 2020 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “During the quarter ending March 31, 2020 we generated revenue of $71.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $15.0 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q1 Fiscal 2020 was approximately 1,525,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 1,066,000 RVUs in Q1 Fiscal 2019, an increase of 43%. On an organic volume basis, RVUs decreased by 1% compared to the same prior period, however excluding March which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, RVUs increased by 7%,” Mr. Zine continued. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

“As states and local authorities have begun to lift social distancing requirements and other restraints affecting our referral network,” added Mr. Zine, “we have seen some volume return in those markets. Compared to the first week of March 2020, our daily average volume is recovering from a low point of an approximate 55% decline in mid-April 2020 to an estimated 25% decline by late-May 2020. This rebound demonstrates the resiliency of the Akumin platform providing an essential healthcare service. Although we expect the reduction in volume caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to impact our Q2 revenue, such revenue reduction should be partly offset by our cost containment initiatives.


“In addition, we finished the quarter with $16.6 million cash-on-hand and we have not needed to draw on our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Our amended credit facility will add greater flexibility and liquidity.”

Credit Agreement Amendment

Pursuant to the amendment to its senior secured credit facility, Akumin’s revolving credit facility has been increased from $50 million to $69 million. Any draw on the revolving credit facility above a principal amount of $50 million will require consent of lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of Term Loan B facility and lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of the other senior credit facilities. As at the time of the amendment, the Corporation had approximately $28.4 million drawn on its revolving credit facility.

In addition, the amendment will, among other things, adjust Akumin’s leverage and fixed charge ratios for the next four quarters providing the Corporation with greater flexibility in its financial ratio covenants. While no prepayment is required, if a prepayment is made on the Term Loan B facility, an additional payment equal to 2% of the amount prepaid will need to be paid at the time of prepayment within the next 12 months and equal to 1% of the amount prepaid within the subsequent 12 months.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized

 

-2-


meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” and “Adjusted EPS – Diluted”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated June 3, 2020 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this press release constitutes forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Akumin as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such

forward-looking information, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2020, which is available at www.sedar.com. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Akumin; however, these factors should be considered carefully. There can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Akumin expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements containing any forward-looking information, or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Existing Lenders and the other financial institutions providing any portion of the Revolver Increase (as defined below), if any (collectively, the Existing Lenders and such additional financial institutions, if any, the “Lenders”) agree to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, as more particularly set forth below, and the Lenders party to this Amendment (after giving effect to the Facility Adjustments (defined below)) are willing to effect such amendments, as provided in, and on the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment;

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have also requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended to provide for an increase of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments from $50,000,000 to $69,000,000 (the “Revolver Increase”), and the Lenders party hereto (including each Lender providing any portion of the Revolver Increase) are willing to amend the Credit Agreement to provide for the Revolver Increase as provided in, and on the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment and in the Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, as applicable, as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement:

(a) the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the amended pages to the Existing Credit Agreement attached hereto as Annex I; and


(b) solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility), the Schedule 2.01 to the Existing Credit Agreement is replaced with the revised Schedule 2.01 attached as Annex II to this Amendment (and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any references in the Credit Agreement to Schedule 2.01 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility as of any particular date shall be deemed to mean Schedule 2.01 as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date).

(c) A new Schedule 6.33 is added to the Credit Agreement and is attached as Annex III to this Amendment

3. Facility Adjustments.

(a) Upon the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (defined below), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by the Revolver Increase and such increased amount of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made available by the applicable Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of each applicable Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex I hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, in connection with the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, each party hereto agrees (i) that the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among the Lenders, and from each Lender to each other applicable Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption as required under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) to any adjustments to be made to the Register to effectuate such reallocations and assignments. In connection therewith, (x) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders resulting from the Facility Adjustments, (y) the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans necessary in connection with the Facility Adjustments (if any), and (z) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans resulting from the Facility Adjustments (if any), shall in each case all occur on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in connection with the effectiveness of this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent may make such adjustments between and among the applicable Lenders (including adjustments to participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Facility Adjustments, so that the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments are as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex I hereto as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date are held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility (the Revolver Increase, and the assignments, adjustments and reallocations set forth in this sentence, collectively, the “Facility Adjustments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or this Amendment, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Facility Adjustments provided by this Amendment shall each be effective upon the Fourth Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the conditions to effectiveness of the Facility Adjustments and the amendments set forth in Section 2 above are limited to the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as set forth below and (iii) the Revolver Increase shall not constitute utilization of the $100,000,000 limit on increases to the facilities provided under Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement or of the Credit Agreement.

See “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

Commenting on the Q2 Fiscal 2020 financial results, Riadh Zine, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, said, “During the quarter ending June 30, 2020 we generated revenue of $53.6 million. Although our RVU volume during the quarter declined by approximately 28% vs. that in Q1 Fiscal 2020, by effectively implementing our cost containment strategies, and with the help and dedication of our employees, we were able to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $13.7 million.

“Akumin’s volume in Q2 Fiscal 2020 was approximately 1,094,000 RVUs, compared to approximately 1,163,000 RVUs in Q2 Fiscal 2019, a decrease of 6%. On an organic volume basis, RVUs decreased by 30% compared to the same prior period. During Q2 Fiscal 2020, our volumes were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr. Zine continued. The Corporation reports the volume of procedures performed in its diagnostic imaging centers based on relative-value units, or RVUs, instead of the number of procedures. RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services which provides weighting to distinguish the complexity of different procedures.

“As stay-at-home orders lifted and the general understanding of the coronavirus disease improved, our volume began to recover,” added Mr. Zine. “As compared to early March 2020, our daily average volume recovered from a low point of an approximate 55% decline in mid-April 2020, a 25% decline by the end of May 2020 and a 15% decline by the end of June 2020. While we have seen increased pandemic cases in Florida and Texas, two of our major markets, volume in the current Q3 Fiscal 2020 continues to be between 10 and 15% below early March 2020 volumes. This demonstrates the resiliency of the Akumin platform providing an essential healthcare service.


“In addition, we finished the quarter with $28.1 million cash-on-hand. The increase of $11.5 million in the cash position during this quarter is mainly due to Free Cash Flow generation of $4.9 million, and the receipt of a $1.1 million grant from Health and Human Services (HHS) and accelerated Medicare payments of $3.1 million under the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payments Program from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The HHS grant and CMS advance were both received from programs made available to Medicare providers under the CARES Act. The accelerated Medicare payments are expected to be repaid against future Medicare services performed starting in late Q3 2020. Our revolving credit facility has over $40 million in undrawn committed capital, and we have not needed to draw on our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes since the COVID-19 pandemic began.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results Call

Akumin would like to invite interested parties to the Corporation’s Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results Call, to be held on August 13, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To access the conference call, dial toll-free in Canada or the U.S. 888-231-8191 or, for international callers, 647-427-7450. A related presentation will be available for download on Akumin’s website (www.akumin.com) and at https://akum.in/AkuminSecondQuarter2020Results. Participants are asked to connect at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the call to ensure participation. The webcast archive will be available for 90 days. A replay of the conference call will also be available until Thursday, August 20, 2020 by calling 416-849-0833 or toll-free 1-855-859-2056, using passcode number 7967905.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted or comparable basis, are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” of this press release for further details. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for Q2 Fiscal 2020 and related management’s discussion and analysis are available under Akumin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

About Akumin

Akumin is a leading provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States with a network of owned and/or operated imaging centers located in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. By combining our clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology and information systems, our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our imaging procedures include MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), mammography, and other interventional procedures.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” and “Adjusted EPS – Diluted”. These non-IFRS measures are used

 

- 2 -


to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated August 12, 2020 available at www.sedar.com.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA” means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Corporation before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Free Cash Flow” means Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest paid (excluding IFRS 16 impact on leases) and cash capital expenditures.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this press release constitutes forward-looking information. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity exists”, “is positioned”, “estimates”, “intends”, “assumes”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate” or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Akumin as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to the factors described in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2020, which is available at www.sedar.com.

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 2


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis dated August 12, 2020 (“MD&A”) provides information concerning Akumin Inc.’s (“Akumin” or the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following MD&A together with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Amounts stated in this MD&A are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” (each as defined below). These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

We define such non-IFRS measures as follows:

EBITDA means net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company before interest expense (net), income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA, as further adjusted for stock-based compensation, impairment of property and equipment, provisions for certain credit losses, settlement costs, provisions, acquisition-related and public offering costs, gains (losses) in the period, one-time adjustments and IFRS 16 impact on leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by the revenue in the period.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin” means Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense (excluding IFRS 16 impact on depreciation and interest expense), taxed at Akumin’s estimated effective tax rate, which is a blend of U.S. federal and state statutory tax rates for Akumin for the period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements describe our future plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, and are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 3


these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include, without limitation, statements regarding:

 

   

expected performance and cash flows;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company;

 

   

expenses incurred by the Company as a public company;

 

   

future growth of the diagnostic imaging market;

 

   

changes in reimbursement rates by payors;

 

   

the outcome of litigation and payment obligations in respect of prior settlements;

 

   

the availability of radiologists at our contracted radiology practices;

 

   

competition;

 

   

acquisitions and divestitures of businesses;

 

   

potential synergies from acquisitions;

 

   

non-wholly owned and other business arrangements;

 

   

access to capital and the terms relating thereto;

 

   

technological changes in our industry;

 

   

successful execution of internal plans;

 

   

compliance with our debt covenants;

 

   

anticipated costs of capital investments; and

 

   

future compensation of named executive officers.

Such statements may not prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following are some of the risks and other important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully grow the market and sell our services;

 

   

general market conditions in our industry;

 

   

our ability to service existing debt;

 

   

our ability to acquire new centers and, upon acquisition, to successfully market and sell new services that we acquire;

 

   

our ability to achieve the financing necessary to complete our acquisitions;

 

   

our ability to enforce any claims relating to breaches of indemnities or representations and warranties in connection with any acquisitions;

 

   

market conditions in the capital markets and our industry that make raising capital or consummating acquisitions difficult, expensive or both, or which may disrupt our annual operating budget and forecasts;

 

   

unanticipated cash requirements to support current operations, to expand our business or for capital expenditures;

 

   

delays or setbacks with respect to governmental approvals, or manufacturing or commercial activities;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations;

 

   

the loss of key management or personnel;

 

   

the risk that the Company is not able to arrange sufficient, cost-effective financing to repay maturing debt and to fund expenditures, future operational activities and acquisitions, and other obligations; and

 

   

the risks associated with legislative and regulatory developments that may affect costs, revenues, the speed and degree of competition entering the market, global capital markets activity and general economic conditions in geographic areas where we operate.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to us, including information obtained from third-party industry analysts and other third-party sources. In some instances, material assumptions and factors are presented or discussed elsewhere in this MD&A in connection with the statements or disclosure containing the forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the legislative and operating framework for our business;

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 4


   

no unforeseen changes in the prices for our services in markets where prices are regulated;

 

   

no unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment for our services;

 

   

a stable competitive environment; and

 

   

no significant event occurring outside the ordinary course of business such as a natural disaster or other calamity.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our plans, strategies, expectations and objectives, there may be other factors that could cause our results to differ from what we currently anticipate, estimate or intend. Forward-looking statements are provided to assist external stakeholders in understanding management’s expectations and plans relating to the future as of the date of the original document and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Overview

We are a provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States, with freestanding centers located across Florida, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and other diagnostic or interventional radiology procedures.

We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies in the United States provides for long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Our operations team is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and improving profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

Building on our track record, we believe that we have an important growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that our performance and ability to achieve this growth depends on a number of factors. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A.

Number of Clinics

We have a meaningful opportunity to continue to grow the number of our diagnostic imaging facilities in the United States through organic growth and acquisition. The opening and success of new facilities is subject to numerous factors, including our ability to finance acquisitions, build relationships with referring doctors in new regions, and negotiate suitable lease terms for new locations, and other factors, some of which are beyond Akumin’s control.

The following table shows the number of Akumin diagnostic imaging facilities:

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 5


Competition

The market for diagnostic imaging services is highly competitive. We compete principally on the basis of our reputation, our ability to provide multiple modalities at many of our facilities, the location of our facilities and the quality of our diagnostic imaging services. In the markets in which we are operating, or anticipate operating, we compete locally with groups of radiologists, established hospitals, clinics and other independent organizations that own and operate imaging equipment.

We also face competition from other diagnostic imaging companies in acquiring diagnostic imaging centers, which makes it more difficult to find attractive acquisition targets on favourable terms.

Akumin’s multi-modality imaging offering provides a one-stop-shop for patients and referring physicians and diversifies the Company’s revenue sources. The Company’s scalable and integrated operating platform is expected to create value from future acquisitions, cost efficiencies, and organic growth.

Industry Trends

Our revenue is impacted by changes to U.S. healthcare laws, our partners’ and contractors’ healthcare costs, and/or reimbursement rates by payors.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

The key performance indicator measures below are used by management in evaluating the performance of and assessing our business. We refer to certain key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the diagnostic imaging industry, certain of which are not recognized under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

IFRS Measures

Revenue. Our revenue is comprised of service fee revenue and other revenue. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenue:

 

   

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients based mainly on established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts and allowances. This service fee revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the use of the Company’s diagnostic imaging equipment and provision of medical supplies. Service fee revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, based on the estimated collectible amounts from the patients and third-party payers. Third party payers include federal and state agencies (such as Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, other payors, and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances are based on the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are based on predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. A provision for credit losses is also recorded, based partly on historical collection experience. The Company regularly attempts to estimate its expected reimbursement for patients based on the applicable contract terms. The Company believes its review process enables it to identify instances on a timely basis where such estimates need to be revised.

 

   

Other revenue consists of miscellaneous fees under contractual arrangements, including service fee revenue under capitation arrangements with third party payers, management fees and fees for other services provided to third parties. Revenue is recorded during the period in which the Company’s performance obligations under the contract are satisfied by the Company.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Acquisition Activity

The timing of acquisitions and the opening of new facilities impacts our revenue and the comparability of our results from period to period. In addition, facilities operating in different regions in the United States may have dissimilar results due to prevailing reimbursement rates for diagnostic imaging services or other factors.

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 7


Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 3 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements relating to the amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 1 and IAS 8 which became effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of the amendments to these standards did not have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in the current or comparative periods. The Company was not required to make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

Segments

We identify our reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. We have identified one operating segment: outpatient diagnostic medical imaging services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition-Related Activity

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company continued its strategy of integrating the operations of prior acquisitions and exploring potential acquisition targets. For information relating to further developments, see the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other public disclosure available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Tuck-in Acquisitions

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary, in two separate transactions, a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Coral Springs, Florida and a single outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million (the “2020 Acquisitions”). Both acquisitions were opportunities for the Company to increase its presence in their respective markets.

COVID-19

Commencing during Q1 2020 and continuing through Q2 2020 and beyond, a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most effected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 8


safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services. Depending on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is potential for the Company to incur incremental credit losses beyond what is currently expected and potential reduction in revenue and income and asset impairments.

Government Payments

During April 2020, the Company received approximately $1 million under the first appropriation made by Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to Medicare providers pursuant to the CARES Act. Additional grants may be available to the Company through subsequent appropriations under this program. Further, the Company received approximately $3 million of accelerated Medicare payments under the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payments Program from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (“CMS”). These payments are required to be repaid beginning 120 days after their receipt in April through the adjudication of Medicare claims over a future period.

Amended May 2019 Loans

The credit agreement related to the May 2019 Loans was amended on June 2, 2020. Pursuant to this amendment, Akumin’s revolving credit facility has been increased from $50 million to $69 million. Any draw on the revolving credit facility above a principal amount of $50 million will require consent of lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of Term Loan B facility and lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding principal of the other senior credit facilities. As at the time of the amendment and as at the date of this MD&A, the Company has approximately $28.4 million drawn on its revolving credit facility.

In addition, among other things, the amendment adjusted Akumin’s leverage and fixed charge ratios for the four quarters ended March 31, 2021, providing the Company with greater flexibility in its financial ratio covenants. While no prepayment is required, if a prepayment is made on the Term Loan B facility, an additional payment equal to 2% of the amount prepaid will need to be paid at the time of prepayment until June 2, 2021 and equal to 1% of the amount prepaid within the subsequent 12 months.

Exercise of Certain RSUs and Warrants

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had 337,500 RSUs outstanding. All of these RSUs vested between January 1, 2020 and March 12, 2020. 285,000 of these RSUs were settled for common shares on March 12, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, resulting in 52,500 vested RSUs outstanding as at March 31, 2020. All of the remaining 52,500 RSUs were settled for common shares in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had no RSUs outstanding.

During May 2018, the Company had issued 525,000 warrants to purchase common shares on a 1:1 basis at an exercise price of $4.00 per common share. These warrants were not exercised into common shares and expired on May 2, 2020.

Volume and revenue. The Company reports the measurement of volume of diagnostic imaging procedures at its facilities based on relative-value-units (“RVUs”). RVUs are a standardized measure of value used in the United States Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 were 1,094 (in thousands) compared to 1,163 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. In fiscal 2019, the Company completed an acquisition in Davie, Florida effective April 1, 2019, the acquisition of Advanced Diagnostic Group and its related entities effective May 31, 2019, an acquisition in Deltona, Florida effective May 31, 2019, an acquisition in El Paso, Texas effective August 16, 2019 and an acquisition in West Palm Beach, Florida effective October 4, 2019 (collectively, the “2019 Acquisitions”). The Company completed the 2020 Acquisitions effective January 1, 2020. Excluding the 2019 Acquisitions (except for the Davie Acquisition and pro-rating for the Deltona Acquisition and the ADG Acquisitions) and the 2020 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 804 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1,154 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of approximately 30%.

Revenue was $53,628 and $53,985 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions, partly offset by impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, approximately 31% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 22% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 35% to 30% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is mainly attributable to the 2019 and 2020 Acquisitions and cost control measures taken in response to impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

Reading fees. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 14%.

Rent and utilities. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, rent and utilities increased from 4% of revenue to 7% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, rent and utilities were 12% of revenue in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 compared to 10% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The increase is mainly due to reduction in revenue arising from COVID-19 pandemic and the relatively fixed nature of rent and utilities expense.

Third party services and professional fees. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 9%, compared to 7% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to impact of COVID-19 pandemic on revenues.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses remained consistent at approximately 9% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies were 9% of revenue in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $13,723 compared to $12,290 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The variance is mainly attributable to the 2019 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions, partly offset by the negative impact of COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was 26% compared to 23% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The higher margin was mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions and cost control measures partly offset by negative impact of COVID-19.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net loss attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $3,037 (6% of revenue) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 and net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $961 (2% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to disruption to volume due to COVID-19, offset by timing of the above noted 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions, HHS grants received and gain on revaluation of ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability.

Volume and revenue. RVUs related to service fee revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 were 2,619 (in thousands) compared to 2,229 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the 2019 Acquisitions (except pro-rating for the Davie Acquisition, the Deltona Acquisition and the ADG Acquisitions) and the 2020 Acquisitions, on a same-center basis, RVUs were 1,864 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2,209 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of approximately 16%.

Revenue was $124,890 and $101,536 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The variance is mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions, partly offset by impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, approximately 32% of service fee revenue was earned from auto/attorney payors, compared to approximately 18% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Employee compensation. Payroll and staffing costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 36% to 33% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is mainly attributable to the 2019 and 2020 Acquisitions and cost control measures taken in response to impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

Reading fees. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, reading fees, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 15%.

Rent and utilities. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, rent and utilities increased from 4% of revenue to 5% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, rent and utilities were 11% of revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to 10% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The increase is mainly due to reductions in revenue arising from COVID-19 pandemic and the relatively fixed nature of rent and utilities expense.

Third party services and professional fees. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, third party services and professional fees as a percentage of revenue were 9%, compared to 7% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on revenues.

Administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, administrative expenses and medical supplies and other expenses remained consistent at approximately 9% of revenue. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, the administrative expenses and medical supplies were 9% of revenue in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $28,691 compared to $21,542 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The variance is mainly attributable the 2019 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions, partly offset by the negative impact of COVID-19 starting in March 2020. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was 23% compared to 21% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The higher margin was mainly due to the 2019 Acquisitions, 2020 Acquisitions and cost control measures, partly offset by negative impact of COVID-19.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Akumin. The net loss attributable to shareholders of Akumin was $1,499 (1% of revenue) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $1,208 (1% of revenue). This decrease in net income is mainly due to disruption to volume due to COVID-19, partly offset by timing of the above noted 2019 Acquisitions and 2020 Acquisitions, HHS grants received and gain on revaluation of ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability.

Cash was $28,075 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $4,686, as compared to $23,389 as at December 31, 2019. The increase in cash during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was due to $14,891 from operating activities, partly offset by $7,915 used in investing activities and $2,290 used in financing activities.

Accounts receivable were $91,881 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $9,014, as compared to $82,867 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is mainly due to lower cash collections due to impact of COVID-19 and 2020 Acquisitions.

As at June 30, 2020, assuming pre-COVID-19 revenue levels, the Company’s days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) were approximately 108 days (approximately 108 days at March 31, 2020). Excluding attorney/auto payors, DSO were approximately 70 days (approximately 74 days at March 31, 2020). The relative stability in overall DSO is mainly due to impact of COVID-19 on cash collections, higher proportion of accounts receivable from attorney/auto payors with a longer collection cycle, continued rationalization of our billing systems and processes, and billing disruption resulting from our efforts to consolidate the attorney/auto billing team across the Company.

Property and equipment was $204,678 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $5,054, as compared to $199,624 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is mainly attributable to property and equipment recognized in the purchase price allocations for the 2020 Acquisitions (collectively, $4,214), additions to right of use assets ($8,588), and capital expenditures ($10,730) partly offset by depreciation ($15,745) and net disposals ($2,733).

Intangible assets were $8,033 as at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $1,354, as compared to $9,387 as at December 31, 2019. This decrease is mainly due to amortization recorded in the period.

Goodwill was $344,023 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $1,801 of as compared to $342,222 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is attributable to goodwill recognized from the 2020 Acquisitions (collectively, $1,675) and working capital settlement adjustments related to 2019 Acquisitions.

Total debt (excluding other lease liabilities) was $367,082 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $16,646 as compared to $350,436 as at December 31, 2019. This increase is attributable to increases in the Amended May 2019 Loans ($6,300), non-cash interest accretion and paid-in-kind interest ($2,121), loss on revaluation of derivative financial instruments liability ($4,238), loss on modification of the Amended May 2019 Loans ($3,125), loss on revaluation of Subordinated Note – Earn-out ($8) and increase in finance lease liabilities ($5,387), partly offset by loan repayments ($1,851) and debt issuance costs ($2,682).

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 14


The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $138,351 as at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $341 as compared to $138,692 as at December 31, 2019. This decrease is due to net loss of $1,499 earned by the Company during the six-months ended June 30, 2020, partly offset by stock-based compensation of $1,158.

Non-controlling interests were $3,291 as at June 30, 2020, an increase of $387, as compared to $2,904 as at December 31, 2019. The non-controlling interests are associated with the Texas Acquisition. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 net income attributable to the non-controlling interests was $1,101, partly offset by distributions of $714.

During the quarterly periods presented above, the Company experienced significant growth through acquisitions. The quarter-to-quarter results have been impacted by the timing of these acquisitions. See “Recent Developments” and “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results” of this MD&A for additional information.

The table below shows selected non-IFRS financial information on a last twelve-month (“LTM”) basis for the following periods. All of the following periods include contribution from any acquisition made during the period only starting from the date of such acquisition. For example, the 2020 Acquisitions are included only from and after January 1, 2020. Similarly, the 2019 Acquisitions occurred at various times during 2019. As a result, the LTM period ended June 30, 2020 does not contain a full twelve months contribution from the 2020 Acquisitions or the 2019 Acquisitions, except for the Davie Acquisition. The LTM period ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by COVID-19 during March 2020 and during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. The Company monitors the following information to measure its overall financial performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital structure that supports its long-term growth strategy, maintains creditor and customer confidence, and maximizes shareholder value.

The capital structure of the Company consists of its capital stock, warrants, contributed surplus and debt.

The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance operations, increase non-cash working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will continue to have enough liquidity so it can provide its services to its customers and returns to its shareholders. As the Company has primarily grown through acquisitions, it has raised debt and equity to partly finance such transactions. The details regarding such issuances are noted in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 17


As at June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $28,075.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had $367,082 of senior loans payable, derivative financial instruments liability, Subordinated Note – Earn-out (as defined below) and finance lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2020, $6,306 of these liabilities are due within one year.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security for senior loans. The Company is subject to certain financial performance debt covenants and it is currently in compliance with them.

As at June 30, 2020, we had other lease liabilities of $135,322, consisting mainly of leases with remaining term of more than one year, primarily for office space. As of June 30, 2020, $9,692 of these liabilities are due within one year. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had finance lease liabilities of $13,803. As of June 30, 2020, $2,590 of these liabilities are due within one year.

We believe that our current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next 12 months. We have in the past financed our growth through acquisitions via privately issued capital in the equity and/or debt markets and publicly issued equity and we expect to continue to do so. We expect to gain additional access to the public equity and/or debt capital markets to support our growth strategy. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and “Risk Factors” of this MD&A for additional information.

Lending Arrangements and Debt

Amended May 2019 Loans

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior credit agreement which amended the credit agreement signed effective May 31, 2019 (such amended credit agreement, the “Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company received in May 2019 a term loan A and term loan B (“Term Loan A”, Term Loan B” and collectively, “Term Loans”) of $66,000 and $266,000, respectively (face value) and a revolving credit facility of $50,000, which was increased to $69,000 on June 2, 2020 (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loans, the “Amended May 2019 Loans”). Sixteen million dollars of the Term Loan A was subject to a delayed draw, which was drawn by the Company in October 2019 to partly finance the West Palm Beach Acquisition. The term of the Amended May 2019 Loans is five years from May 31, 2019. The Amended May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used during 2019 to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596, partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. As at December 31, 2019, the Amended May 2019 Loans had a balance of approximately, $339.4 million. In June 2020, the amendment costs related to the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement were netted against the balance of the Amended May 2019 Loans. The above-noted amendment to the senior credit agreement in June 2020 was considered debt modification for accounting purposes and a loss of approximately $3.1 million was recognized as a result of this amendment in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at June 30, 2020, the Amended May 2019 Loans had a face value of approximately $361.6 million (amortized cost of approximately, $346.6 million). 

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 18


Wesley Chapel Loan

The Company, through a subsidiary, has a purchase money secured loan (the “Wesley Chapel Loan”) of $2,000 (face value) as of August 15, 2018 to finance the purchase of equipment and related installation for a new clinic location around Tampa Bay, Florida. It has an annual interest rate of 5.0%, matures on August 15, 2023, has monthly repayments of $38 and is secured only against the equipment financed. The Wesley Chapel Loan was recognized at fair value of $1,908 on August 15, 2018 using an effective interest rate. As of June 30, 2020, the face value of the Wesley Chapel Loan was $1,324 (amortized cost of $1,266).

Subordinated Note Payable – Earn-out

As part of an acquisition, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company assumed a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the “Subordinated Note”) with a face value of $1,500 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,491 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. According to the Subordinated Note agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Note is accrued and added to the principal amount on each anniversary of the Subordinated Note agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019 together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596 (face value of $1,500 and accrued interest of $96). The Company also recorded a fair value loss of $7 on the extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, which was reflected in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The principal balance of the Subordinated Note is subject to increase by an earn-out (the “Subordinated Note—Earn-out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million during the three-calendar year period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue-based milestones. Management estimated the fair value of the Subordinated Note – Earn-out as at May 11, 2018 of $161. The Subordinated Note—Earn-out was revalued at $192 as at June 30, 2020 and the change in fair value was recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

ADG Acquisition – Earn-out

A portion of the purchase price payable in respect of the Company’s acquisition of its Georgia business on May 31, 2019, is subject to an earn-out (the “ADG Acquisition Earn-out”) based on its annualized revenues earned in the first two quarters of 2020 less certain costs including certain operating expenses, capital expenditures and incremental working capital. In accordance with the purchase agreement, 50% of this liability is expected to be settled in the latter half of 2020 and the balance in the first half of 2021.

Management estimated the fair value of the ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability as at May 31, 2019 at approximately $15 million. Subsequently, the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability estimate was revalued at approximately $15 million as at December 31, 2019 and at approximately $8 million as at March 31, 2020 and the respective changes in fair value were recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the related consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The ADG Acquisition Earn-out liability estimate was revalued at approximately $6.2 million as at June 30, 2020 and the change in fair value was recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The final value of the ADG Acquisition Earn-out is subject to review by the sellers of the Georgia business in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement between the parties, a copy of which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR.

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 19


Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Amended May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition Earn-out, leases and derivative financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the Amended May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Note – Earn-out, ADG Acquisition Earn-out, and the derivative financial instruments, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the normalized expected market rates of interest is insignificant. Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000 as of November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a further derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract (which was most recently amended in February 2020), with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the Amended May 2019 Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000 as at July 31, 2019) and a termination date of July 31, 2022 with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum and (ii) a floor rate of 1.1475% (LIBOR) per annum.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases, Amended May 2019 Loans and Wesley Chapel Loan. Amortization is recorded using the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies the derivative financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company classifies the Subordinated Note – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition Earn-out, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. Refer to note 17 of our December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding risk management arising from financial instruments. There have been no significant changes to those risks impacting the Company since December 31, 2019, nor has there been a significant change in the composition of its financial instruments since December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing transactions except for letters of credit related to facilities leases of approximately $181 as at June 30, 2020.

Share Information

As of the date of this MD&A, we have 70,178,428 common shares issued and outstanding.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company transacts with key individuals from management who have the authority to plan, direct, and control the activities of the Company, including through employment agreements and stock-based compensation plans. Key management personnel are defined as the executive officers of the Company and the board of directors, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice Presidents.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results in the period in which they are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at net realizable value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less loss allowances. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, permitted by IFRS 9, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable are considered to be in default when customers have failed to make the contractually required payments when due. A provision for credit losses is recorded as a reduction in revenue with an offsetting amount recorded as an allowance for credit losses, reducing the carrying value of the receivable. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses account.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Management tests at least annually whether goodwill suffered any impairment. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

Management makes key assumptions and estimates in determining the recoverable amount of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs, including future cash flows based on historical and budgeted operating results, growth rates, tax rates and appropriate after-tax discount rates.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset.

 

AKUMIN INC | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | Q2 2020 21


Income Taxes

The Company is subject to government audits and the outcome of such audits may differ from original estimates. Management believes that a sufficient amount has been accrued for income taxes. Further, management evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with the Company’s expectations, an adjustment to its allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Business Combinations

Significant judgment is required in identifying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, as well as determining their fair values. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Contractual Allowances

Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third party payors, and others for services rendered and recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Net patient service revenue is recorded based on established billing rates, less estimated discounts for contractual allowances. Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the established rates charged for services performed and expected reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and other payors for such services.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal ControlsOver Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing such controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Risk Factors

For a detailed description of risk factors associated with the Company, refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual information form dated March 31, 2020 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, except as described below relating to the amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 1 and IAS 8 which became effective January 1, 2020.

Definition of a Business – Amendments to IFRS 3: The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term ‘outputs’ is amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits.

Definition of Material – Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: The IASB has made amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to use a consistent definition of materiality throughout IFRS and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, and clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information.

The adoption of the amendments to these standards did not have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements in the current or comparative periods. The Company was not required to make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

The value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability was estimated by management using a probability weighted valuation technique; changes in the fair value of this liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Management estimated the fair value of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability as at May 31, 2019 at approximately $15 million based on a discount rate of approximately 7% and management’s estimated probability weighted range of the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14). Subsequently, the ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability estimate was revalued at approximately $15 million as at December 31, 2019 and at approximately $8 million as at March 31, 2020 and the respective changes in fair value were recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the related consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The ADG Acquisition – earn-out liability estimate has been revalued at approximately $6 million as at June 30, 2020 and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The final value of the ADG Acquisition earn-out is subject to review by the sellers of the Georgia business in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement between the parties.

the Amended May 2019 Loans is five years from May 31, 2019. The Amended May 2019 Loans can be increased by an additional $100,000,000 subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used during 2019 to settle the Syndicated Loans for $112,482,181, the principal outstanding under Subordinated Note and related accrued and unpaid interest for $1,596,250, partly finance the ADG Acquisitions and Deltona Acquisition in May 2019 and pay related debt issuance costs. On May 31, 2019, management determined the fair value of the Amended May 2019 Loans to be their face value of $319,300,000 net of debt issuance costs of approximately $14.8 million. The fair value of the Amended May 2019 Loans was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14). As at December 31, 2019, the Amended May 2019 Loans had a balance of approximately, $339.4 million. In June 2020, the amendment costs related to the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement were netted against the balance of the Amended May 2019 Loans. The above-noted amendment to the senior credit agreement in June 2020 was considered debt modification for accounting purposes and a loss of approximately $3.1 million was recognized as a result of this amendment in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at June 30, 2020, the Amended May 2019 Loans had an amortized cost balance of approximately, $346.6 million.

Effective November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument contract with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Syndicated Loans (which were settled in 2019). The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate cap rate of 3.75% (LIBOR) per annum on a notional amount of 50% of the face value of the Syndicated Term Loan ($50,000,000 as at November 14, 2018). The termination date of this arrangement is August 31, 2021. The cost of this derivative financial instrument was $155,000. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the financial institution as at June 30, 2020 represented an asset to the Company of $43.

In addition, effective July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate collar contract (further amended in November 2019 and February 2020), with a financial institution in order to mitigate interest rate risk under the variable interest rate Term Loans. This derivative financial instrument has an underlying notional amount of 100% of the face value of Term Loan B ($266,000,000 as at July 31, 2019) and a termination date of July 31, 2022 with (i) a cap rate of 3.00% (LIBOR) per annum, and (ii) a floor rate of 1.1475% (LIBOR) per annum. There was no upfront cost of this derivative financial instrument. The Company has not designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of this derivative as determined by the Company as at June 30, 2020 represented a liability to the Company of $5,190,000.

Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement provides for the following (capitalized terms used below in this note and not defined elsewhere in these notes have the respective meanings given to them in the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement):

 

   

Interest

The interest rates payable on the Amended May 2019 Loans are as follows: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at one-month LIBOR plus Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate and (c) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus Applicable Rate. As part of the amendments on June 2, 2020, an additional paid-in-kind interest accrues on the outstanding Term B Loans from time to time, which interest rate shall be (i) 2.00% per annum from June 2, 2020 to March 31, 2021, and (ii) thereafter the applicable percentage per annum will be determined by reference to the leverage ratio thresholds in the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement. All advances under the Amended May 2019 Loans are currently classified as Eurodollar Rate Loans. The annualized effective interest rate under the Amended May 2019 Credit Agreement as at June 30, 2020 was approximately 7.3% per annum (June 30, 2019 – 7.7%). With respect to interest rate sensitivity as at June 30, 2020, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would have increased interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 by approximately $0.3 million (2019 – $0.3 million).

As part of the Tampa Acquisition, Akumin FL entered into a subordinated 6% note and security agreement with the seller’s secured lender on May 11, 2018 (the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Lender, respectively) with a face value of $1,500,000 and a term of four years. The Subordinated Note was recognized at fair value of $1,490,932 on May 11, 2018 using an effective interest rate. The fair value was determined based on management’s estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing similar liabilities (it is considered a Level 3 liability as described in note 14).

In accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, the Company used part of the proceeds of the Term Loans to settle the principal outstanding under the Subordinated Note on May 31, 2019, together with accrued and unpaid interest, for $1,596,250 (face value of $1,500,000 and accrued interest of $96,250).

The Subordinated Note – Earn-out was revalued at $192,387 as at June 30, 2020 based on a discount rate of 8.75% and management’s estimated probability-weighted range of Subordinated Note – Earn-out Revenue during the Subordinated Note – Earn-out Period and the change in fair value was recognized in financial instruments revaluation in the condensed interim consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As at June 30, 2020, the range of estimated undiscounted Subordinated Note – Earn-out payable is between $nil and $218,183.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, the management evaluates the developments on a regular basis and accrues a liability when it believes a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the amount or any estimable range of reasonably possible or probable loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.

Commencing during Q1 2020 and continuing through Q2 2020 and beyond, a pandemic relating to a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 occurred causing significant financial market disruption and social dislocation. The pandemic is dynamic with various cities, counties, states and countries around the world responding in different ways to address and contain the outbreak, including the declaration of a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National State of Emergency in the United States and state and local executive orders and ordinances forcing the closure of non essential businesses and persons not employed in or using essential services to “stay at home” or “shelter in place”. At this stage, we have no certainty as to how long the pandemic, or a more limited epidemic, will last, what regions will be most affected or to what extent containment measures will be applied.

Imaging centers are healthcare facilities and as such are generally considered an essential service and expected to continue to operate during any epidemic or pandemic. However, there is potential that actions taken by government, or individual actions, in response to containment or avoidance of this coronavirus could impact a patient’s ability or decision to seek imaging services at a given time which could have a significant impact on volume at our imaging centers leading to temporary or prolonged staff layoffs, reduced hours, closures and other cost containment efforts. Further, there is potential that certain services which are not urgent and can be deferred without significant harm to a patient’s health may be delayed, either by the Company in response to local laws or good public health practice or voluntarily by the patient. In addition, there is potential that the outbreak of the coronavirus could impact supply chains, including the Company’s supply of

personal protective equipment, and lead to personnel shortages, each of which could impact the ability of the Company to safely perform imaging services. It is also possible that social distancing efforts and sanitization and decontamination procedures could cause delays in the performance of imaging services. Depending on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is potential for the Company to incur incremental credit losses beyond what is currently expected and potential future reduction in revenue and income and asset impairments.

Segmented financial information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one reportable segment, which is outpatient diagnostic imaging services.

Risk management arising from financial instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases (current portion) approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the non-current portion of leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and the normalized expected market rates of interest is insignificant. The estimated fair values of other non-current liabilities were as follows:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

 

   

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Amended May 2019 Loans, Wesley Chapel Loan, Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were measured at fair value under the Level 3 category on recognition. The Subordinated Notes – Earn-out and ADG Acquisition – Earn-out were subsequently remeasured at fair value under the Level 3 category.
