Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On March 12, 2013, athenahealth, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“athenahealth”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Epocrates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Epocrates”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 7, 2013, among athenahealth, Echo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of athenahealth (“MergerSub”), and Epocrates. Epocrates is a leading physician platform for essential clinical content, practice tools, and health industry engagement at the point of care. Most commonly used on mobile devices, Epocrates' products help healthcare professionals make more informed prescribing decisions, enhance patient safety, and improve practice productivity. Epocrates' interactive services provide the healthcare industry, primarily pharmaceutical companies, opportunities to engage with its member network by delivering targeted information and conducting market research. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, MergerSub merged with and into Epocrates (the “Merger”), with Epocrates surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of athenahealth.
As a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of Epocrates issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury shares) was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $11.75 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). athenahealth paid the Merger Consideration with a combination of available cash-on-hand and available borrowings under its existing Credit Facility, dated as of October 20, 2011, among, inter alia, athenahealth and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to athenahealth's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 21, 2011.
As provided in the Merger Agreement, athenahealth assumed all outstanding options and restricted stock unit awards under Epocrates' equity compensation plans. Each outstanding option and restricted stock unit award shall be exercisable or shall be settled upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable Epocrates equity compensation plan, except that each option shall be exercisable for, and each restricted stock unit shall be converted into the right to receive, 0.1239 shares of athenahealth's common stock.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
