Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 11, 2015, Hanger, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement that modified its Credit Agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 17, 2013 among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”), as the same was previously amended by the First Amendment and Waiver, dated June 19, 2015 among the Company, the lenders party thereto and the Agent (the “First Amendment and Waiver”; the Original Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment and Waiver, the “Credit Agreement”).  As described below, this agreement, which is called the Second Amendment and Waiver (the “Agreement”), waives defaults and events of default under the Credit Agreement and also modifies certain of the terms and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, with some of the modifications terminating at such time as the Company meets various conditions described more fully below.

 

The Agreement was negotiated with the lenders and the Agent in connection with the Company’s failure to deliver to the lenders certain financial information and other materials for the periods ended September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 (the “Financial Information”) as required by the First Amendment and Waiver.  The Agreement waives the events of default under the Credit Agreement arising from (a) the Company’s failure to deliver the Financial Information to the Agent and (b) the failure by the Company to timely deliver the notice required by the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company’s failure to deliver the Financial Information.  The Agreement also provides that the failure by the Company to deliver the Financial Information to the Agent on or before October 30, 2015 shall be an additional event of default under the Credit Agreement.

 

Until such time as the Company has delivered to the Agent (a) annual and quarterly financial information that demonstrates that the Company would have been in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 (giving retroactive effect to the amendments contained in the First Amendment and Waiver) and (b) projections for each fiscal quarter remaining during the term of the Credit Agreement (through June 17, 2018) demonstrating that (assuming the projections are realized) the Company will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement as of the end of each fiscal quarter remaining during the term of the Credit Agreement, (i) the amount that the Company can borrow under the Credit Agreement in the form of revolving loans, swing line loans and/or letters of credit has been reduced from $200 million to $146.3 million, and (ii) certain baskets and exceptions to the restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement have been reduced or eliminated.

 

In addition to the restrictions noted above, the Agreement permanently amends certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, including the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” in the Credit Agreement to permit the Company to add back in its calculation of Consolidated EBITDA the entire aggregate amount of certain professional fees and expenses reimbursed by the Company and the subsidiary guarantors under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the Agreement.

 

On September 11, 2015 the Company had $146.3 million drawn on the revolving credit line (including outstanding letters of credit) and approximately $59.5 million of cash on hand.  The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet operating needs and planned capital expenditures through the remainder of the year.

 

In connection with the entry into the Agreement, the Company will pay the Agent for the account of each consenting lender an amendment fee in an amount equal to 5 basis points of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan held by such consenting lender plus the amount of such lender’s revolving commitments.

Disclosures About Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” relating to the Company. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included herein, are “forward-looking statements,” including statements regarding the timing of filing of, and the outcome of the Company’s work in connection with, completing certain financial statements and other financial data. These forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “intends,” “expects” or similar expressions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing.  The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that additional information may arise during the course of the Company’s ongoing accounting review that would require the Company to make additional adjustments or revisions to its estimates or financial statements or to restate further its financial statements and other financial data for current or historical periods, the time required to complete the financial statements and other financial data and accounting review as well as the time required to prepare its periodic reports for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  For additional information and risk factors that could affect the Company, see its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as well as the risk factor set forth in Item 8.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 17, 2015, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained in this filing is made as of the date hereof, even if subsequently made available by the Company on its website or otherwise.
