Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the proposed merger of Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Envision”) and AmSurg Corp. (“AMSURG”), New Amethyst Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of AmSurg to be renamed “Envision Healthcare Corporation” upon consummation of the merger (“Newco”), intends to refinance approximately:

 

    $1.3 billion of debt outstanding under the Term Loan B credit facility due 2018 of Envision Healthcare Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Envision and the current borrower under Envision’s credit facility (the “Current Envision Borrower”);

 

    $993 million of debt outstanding under the Current Envision Borrower’s Term Loan B credit facility due 2022;

 

    $850 million of debt outstanding under AMSURG’s Term Loan B credit facility due 2021;

 

    $400 million of debt outstanding under AMSURG’s revolving credit facility due 2019; and

 

    $250 million of debt outstanding under AMSURG’s Senior Notes due 2020.

It is expected that the refinancing and related fees and expenses will be funded by Newco with the net proceeds of borrowings under a new approximately $3.3 billion term loan facility due 2023 and the net proceeds of its anticipated $750 million of unsecured senior debt financing.

Additionally, all existing commitments under the Current Envision Borrower’s asset-based revolving credit facility due 2018 are expected to be refinanced with new revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion, which will terminate in 2021; and $105 million of debt outstanding under such facility will be repaid in connection with the refinancing. The refinancing is expected to close concurrently with the consummation of the merger.

In connection with the refinancing, AMSURG is disclosing certain combined company financial and operating data for the last twelve months ended September 30, 2016 (“LTM”), which will be provided in a presentation to potential term loan lenders in connection with the refinancing.

 

    Combined Company LTM Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion

 

    Combined Company Pro Forma Net Debt of approximately $5.6 billion

 

    Net leverage of 4.2x

 

    Combined Company LTM Unlevered Free Cash Flow of $700 million

 

    More than 31.9 million patient encounters on a combined basis annually

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to Envision’s and AMSURG’s objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that Envision and AMSURG intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. These statements are often characterized by terminology such as “believe,” “hope,” “may,” “anticipate,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy” and similar expressions, and are based on assumptions and assessments made by Envision’s and AMSURG’s management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made as of the date hereof, and Envision and AMSURG undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including: (i) risks and uncertainties discussed in the reports that Envision and AMSURG have filed with the SEC; (ii) general economic, market, or business conditions; (iii) risks associated with the ability to consummate the business combination between Envision and AMSURG and the timing of the closing of the business combination; (iv) the ability to successfully integrate Envision’s and AMSURG’s operations and employees; (v) the ability to realize anticipated benefits and synergies of the business combination; (vi) the potential impact of announcement of the business combination or consummation of the transaction on relationships, including with employees, customers and competitors; and (vii) other circumstances beyond Envision’s and AMSURG’s control. Refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Envision’s and AMSURG’s annual and quarterly reports for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Company LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Company Pro Forma Net Debt and Combined Company LTM Unlevered Free Cash Flow. The items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are important in understanding Envision’s and AMSURG’s financial performance, and any non-GAAP measures presented should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures. Since these non-GAAP financial measures are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.


Adjusted EBITDA of Envision is defined as net income (loss) before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax benefit (expense), loss on early debt extinguishment, other income (expense), net, realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense, net, equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs related to acquisition activity, related party management fees, restructuring and other charges, severance and related costs, adjustment to net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest due to deferred income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA of AMSURG is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, transaction costs, changes in contingent purchase price consideration, gain or loss on deconsolidations and discontinued operations. Except for purposes of calculating leverage ratios and as otherwise noted herein, Adjusted EBITDA from acquisitions prior to the date such acquisitions were completed are not included in Adjusted EBITDA for either Envision or AMSURG. Combined Company LTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined as LTM Adjusted EBITDA of Envision plus LTM Adjusted EBITDA of AMSURG, as further adjusted for pre-acquisition Adjusted EBITDA of certain acquired companies and specified synergies. Combined Company Pro Forma Net Debt for Envision and AMSURG is defined as long-term debt and capital lease obligations less cash and cash-equivalents, giving pro forma effect to the combination. Combined Company LTM Unlevered Free Cash Flow for Envision and AMSURG is defined as cash flow from operations for Envision and AMSURG for the last twelve-months period less capital expenditures, less distributions to minority interests, plus cash interest expense, plus restructuring/other charges and transaction costs.
