ELMSFORD, N.Y. March 25, 2010BioScrip, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOS) today announced that it has
completed its acquisition of Critical Homecare Solutions Holdings, Inc. (CHS), a leading provider
of home infusion and home nursing products and services to patients suffering from chronic and
acute medical conditions.
The combination of CHS and BioScrip represents a significant step forward in our strategy to
become the clinical leader in the management of the chronically ill across all drug delivery
technologies, said Richard H. Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip.
BioScrip will now have over 120 points of service including 33 Community Service Centers, 61
Specialty Infusion Pharmacies, 3 Mail Order Pharmacies and 33 Nursing locations, and operate in
all 50 states with over 1,000 managed care contracts. Importantly, our expanded national footprint
will position us favorably with Managed Care Organizations that prefer to work with fully
integrated providers offering both national reach and high-touch specialty pharmacy solutions on a
local basis. We will be uniquely positioned to provide our customers a truly comprehensive
solution. We are confident that BioScrip will continue to deliver outstanding
service to both patients and providers, while building significant value for our shareholders.
Under the terms of the transaction, which was announced on January 25, 2010, BioScrip acquired CHS
for a total of $237.9 million in cash and $109.8 million of BioScrip common stock, or approximately
13.1 million shares (based on BioScrips closing stock price of $8.37 on Wednesday, March 24,
2010). BioScrip also issued to CHS shareholders approximately 3.40 million warrants having a
$10.00 exercise price and a five-year term. In connection with this acquisition, BioScrip has
entered into a new senior credit facility for an aggregate amount of $150.0 million, consisting of
a $100 million senior secured term loan and a $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility,
both with a term of five years. In addition, BioScrip issued $225.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 101/4% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2015 in an unregistered offering pursuant to
Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The senior credit facility has
customary covenants and a variable interest rate benchmarked to standard market indices.
Jefferies & Company, Inc. acted as BioScrips exclusive financial advisor, sole lead arranger and
sole book-running manager for this transaction.
