Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Company will (i) sell and transfer to Purchaser all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (other than the Rollover Company Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) in O&M PHS LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (which, after giving effect to the completion of certain reorganization transactions, comprises the “Products & Healthcare Services” business of the Company), for an aggregate of $375,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments for cash, indebtedness, net working capital and transaction expenses (the “Sale”) and (ii) contribute, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser Parent, the Rollover Company Securities in exchange for the Rollover Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in Purchaser Parent (the “Rollover”, and together with the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, collectively, the “Transactions”). Pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of Purchaser Parent, the Rollover Company Securities are non-voting, passive interests which entitle the Company to receive (1) 50% of any distributions made by Purchaser Parent after Purchaser Parent has made aggregate distributions of $310 million, until such time as the Company receives $200 million of distributions, and (2) 5% of any distributions made by Purchaser Parent in excess of the priority returns described above.
The closing of the Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and the receipt of clearances or approvals under other specified antitrust, competition and trade regulation laws, (ii) the absence of any order, or law that enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) the completion of certain reorganization transactions, (iv) the accuracy of representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchaser, subject to certain specified materiality standards and certain exceptions, (v) performance and compliance by the parties of their respective covenants and obligations under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects and (vi) the absence of any Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) since the date of the Purchase Agreement.
The Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, including, among others, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants to conduct the Products & Healthcare Services business in the ordinary course during the period between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the earlier of the closing date of the Transactions and the termination of the Purchase Agreement, as well as covenants not to engage in specified types of actions during this period. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse Purchaser and its affiliates for 80% of certain costs incurred by Purchaser or its affiliates in connection with the separation of the Products & Healthcare Services business from the Company’s retained business, subject to an aggregate cap of $65 million. The Company will not be obligated to reimburse Purchaser or its affiliates: (1) for any such costs in advance of April 1, 2026, (2) for more than $15 million of such costs prior to October 1, 2026, or (3) for more than $55 million of such costs prior to January 1, 2027.
