Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 26, 2010, Addus HealthCare, Inc. (“Addus HealthCare”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Addus HomeCare Corporation (the “Company”), and certain subsidiaries of Addus HealthCare (together with Addus HealthCare, the “Borrowers”), entered into a joinder, consent and amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2009 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, Fifth Third Bank, as agent, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (“Lenders”), and the Company, as guarantor. Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) a new term loan has been added to the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 with a maturity date of January 5, 2013, (ii) the requisite Lenders have consented to the acquisition of certain assets of Advantage Health Systems, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“Advantage”), by Addus HealthCare (South Carolina), Inc. (“Addus South Carolina”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Addus HealthCare, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 26, 2010, by and among Addus South Carolina, Advantage, Paul Mitchell, as the Seller Representative (the “Seller Representative”) and Paul Mitchell, Valerie Aiken, Charles Aiken, Kimberly Aiken Cockerham and Henry Motes (collectively, the “Sellers”) and (iii) Addus HealthCare South Carolina has been added as a new borrower under the Credit Agreement. Interest on the new term loan under the Credit Agreement is payable either at a floating rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 460 basis points or the LIBOR rate for term periods of one, two, three or six months plus a margin of 460 basis points. Interest will be paid monthly or at the end of the relevant interest period, as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. This description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 26, 2010, Addus South Carolina, entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Addus South Carolina acquired certain of Advantage’s assets used in the operation of its home health agency business, including but not limited to certain contracts, leases, regulatory permits and licenses, records and files. The total consideration payable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is $8.34 million, comprised of $5.1 million in cash, 252,032 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate value of $1.24 million (valued at a price per share equal to the average closing price of the Company’s stock on The Nasdaq Global Market for the three most recent trading days preceding the closing), up to $2.0 million in future cash consideration subject to the achievement of certain EBITDA targets set forth in an Earn-Out Agreement by and among Addus South Carolina, the Company, as guarantor, Advantage, the Seller Representative and the Sellers, dated as of July 26, 2010 (the “Earn-Out Agreement”), and the assumption of certain specified liabilities, including all liabilities and obligations of Advantage with respect to the acquired assets and acquired contracts first arising after the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction occurred on June 26, 2010 but was effective as of June 25, 2010. This description of the Purchase Agreement and Earn-Out Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Purchase Agreement and Earn-Out Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and Exhibit 99.3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Addus South Carolina and Advantage each have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, made for the benefit of the other and negotiated by the parties as of a specified date to govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, between the parties in relation to the Transaction. Certain of the assertions embodied in those representations and warranties and the obligations embodied in those covenants are subject to contractual standards of knowledge and materiality and/or are modified or qualified by information in the disclosure schedules delivered to Addus South Carolina.

The Purchase Agreement also contains a prohibition on the transfer of the Common Stock by the Sellers prior to the expiration of an eighteen-month lock-up period, subject to customary exceptions for certain permitted transfers. The Company’s offer and sale of the Common Stock was conducted as a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based on the limited nature of the offering and the Sellers’ status as accredited investors. Accordingly, the Common Stock issued in the Transaction is restricted within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

The parties have post-closing indemnification obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement customary for transactions of this nature.


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 related to the issuance of the Common Stock is hereby incorporated by reference under this Item 3.02.
