On July 26, 2024, Concentra Group Holdings Parent, Inc.

Prior to the IPO, Concentra was a wholly owned subsidiary of Select Medical Corporation (“Select”), a Delaware corporation. In connection with the IPO, Concentra paid to Select all of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Concentra’s common stock in the IPO in order to repay debt owed to Select. As of the closing of the IPO, Select owns 104,093,503 shares of Concentra Common Stock, or approximately 82.23% of the total outstanding shares of Concentra Common Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of these agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of these agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Credit Agreement
On July 26, 2024, Concentra Health Services, Inc. (“CHSI”) entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for $1.25 billion in senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) composed of a $850,000,000 million, seven-year term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $400 million, five-year revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), including a $75 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Concentra and substantially all of Concentra’s current domestic subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by CHSI’s future domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of Concentra’s existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra’s capital stock, the capital stock of CHSI’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the capital stock of CHSI’s foreign subsidiaries held directly by CHSI or a domestic subsidiary.
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to:
in the case of the Term Loan, Term SOFR plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.00% to 1.25%, in each case based on CHSI’s leverage ratio; and
in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term SOFR plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based on CHSI’s leverage ratio.
“Term SOFR” is defined as, with respect to any interest period, the rate per annum published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited and identified by the Administrative Agent as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR.
“Alternate Base Rate” is defined as the greatest of (a) the administrative agent’s Prime Rate, (b) the NYFRB Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Term SOFR from time to time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00%.
The Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments on the last business day of each March, June, September and December in amounts equal to 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan commencing on December 31, 2024. The balance of the Term Loan will be payable on July 26, 2031. Similarly, the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable on July 26, 2029.
CHSI will be required to prepay borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and, to the extent required, the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens subject to a first lien intercreditor agreement if CHSI’s total net leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 to 1.00 and 50% of such net cash proceeds if our total net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 and greater than 4.00 to 1.00, (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (3) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if CHSI’s leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if CHSI’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 and greater than 4.00 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans, revolving loans and certain other debt optionally prepaid (and, in the case of revolving loans, accompanied by a reduction in the related commitment) during the applicable fiscal year. CHSI will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow or the net cash proceeds of asset sales if CHSI’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities require CHSI, for the benefit of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed net of cash or cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is tested quarterly and currently must not be greater than 6.50 to 1.00. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the Revolving Lenders, preclude CHSI from making further borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and permit the Revolving Lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities. Upon termination of the commitments for the Revolving Credit Facility and acceleration of all outstanding borrowings thereunder, failure to comply with the covenant also would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Term Loans and holders of the Term Loans then may exercise remedies.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain a number of other affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due, cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the administrative agent and collateral agent for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BOFA Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Truist Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Capital One, National Association, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, Mizuho Bank, LTD, PNC Capital Markets LLC, RBC Capital Markets and Goldman Sachs Bank USA are acting as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. are acting as co-syndication agents for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and BOFA Securities, Inc., Truist Bank, RBC Capital Markets, PNC Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs Bank USA are acting as co-documentation agents for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 and incorporated by reference herein.
6.875% Senior Notes Due 2032
On July 11, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Concentra Escrow Issuer Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”) completed a private offering of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) and related guarantees. On July 26, 2024, Escrow Issuer merged with and into CHSI, with CHSI continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and CHSI assumed all of the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the related indenture (the “Assumption”) pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, dated July 26, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), among CHSI, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). CHSI will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. Interest will accrue from July 11, 2024 and the Notes will mature on July 15, 2032.
The Notes and related guarantees were offered and sold in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to certain non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The issuance and sale of the Notes and related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and the Notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
Indenture
The terms of the Notes and related guarantees are governed by an indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), among the Escrow Issuer, CHSI, and the Trustee.
Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Notes, the Escrow Issuer entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Escrow Issuer deposited the gross proceeds of the Notes offered thereby into a segregated escrow account with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Issuer granted to the Trustee, for its benefit and the benefit of the holders of the Notes, an exclusive first-priority security interest in the escrow account and all amounts on deposit therein to secure the obligations under the Notes pending disbursement. In connection with the Assumption, the net proceeds from the Notes were released to CHSI on July 26, 2024, and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.
Interest and Maturity. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum and mature on July 15, 2032. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025.
Guarantees and Security. Prior to the completion of the Merger, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes was unconditionally guaranteed by the guarantors that guarantee the Credit Facilities.
Concentra and certain of Concentra’s subsidiaries that were guarantors under the Credit Facilities also executed the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which they unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of CHSI under the Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
Ranking.
The Notes will be CHSI’s and the related guarantees will be the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and are:
| · | effectively subordinated to all of the CHSI’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; |
| · | rank equal in right of payment with all of the CHSI’s and each guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the related guarantees; |
| · | rank senior in right of payment to all of the CHSI’s and each guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right to payment to the Notes and the related guarantees; and |
| · | be structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness of any of Concentra’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Notes |
Covenants. The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of Concentra and Concentra’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions or redeem or purchase stock, make certain investments, create liens, merge or consolidate with another company or transfer or cell assets, enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Concentra’s restricted subsidiaries to make distributions, loans or advances to the Concentra or to other restricted subsidiaries, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
Events of Default. The Indenture provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, changes in control, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Optional Redemption and Offer to Repurchase. Before July 15, 2027, CHSI may redeem all or any portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
On or after July 15, 2027, CHSI may redeem all or any portion of the Notes at the redemption prices described in the indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2027, CHSI may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the indenture with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price described in indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
Offer to Repurchase. If Concentra experiences a change of control, each holder of Notes will have the right to require CHSI to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.
No Registration Rights or Listing. The Notes and related guarantees do not have the benefit of any registration rights. The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the Notes and related guarantees, and the Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture, form of note and Supplemental Indenture, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Promissory Note
On July 26, 2024, we issued a promissory note to Select to facilitate the return of capital from Concentra to Select in connection with the IPO. The principal amount of the promissory note was $151,893,378.70, of which $72,580,878.70 was paid upon the consummation of the IPO. After such payment, $79,312,500 of principal amount remains outstanding on the promissory note to Select, as may be reduced by the United States Dollar value of any unexercised portion of the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares pursuant to the underwriting agreement. The promissory note matures upon the receipt of any proceeds we may receive in respect of the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares pursuant to the underwriting agreement following such date. The promissory note will bear interest at a rate of 3.84% equal to the short-term Applicable Federal Rate published by the IRS for the month of July. The foregoing description of the promissory note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the promissory note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and incorporated herein by reference.
