BOSTON & MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Federal Street Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:FSACU, FSAC, FSACW) (“FSAC”), a special-purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”), and Agiliti Holdco, Inc. (f/k/a UHS Holdco, Inc., “Agiliti Holdco”), the holding company of Agiliti Health, Inc. (f/k/a Universal Hospital Services, Inc.) (“Agiliti Health”), a leading, nationwide provider of healthcare technology management and service solutions and a portfolio company of Irving Place Capital Management, L.P., announced today that they have entered into an amended and restated merger agreement, which amends the terms of the original merger agreement that was entered into by the parties on August 13, 2018.
The purchase price for the acquisition represents an enterprise value for the combined company of approximately $1.74 billion, or 11.6x Agiliti Health’s forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $150 million and 10.2x Agiliti Health’s forecasted 2019 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $170 million. Under the terms of the amended and restated merger agreement, the parties agreed to reduce the aggregate consideration to be paid to the selling equityholders of Agiliti Holdco from approximately $1.58 billion to approximately $1.44 billion. Such aggregate consideration will now be payable solely in cash, rather than a combination of cash and common stock, other than the rollover by Agiliti Holdco optionholders of a portion of their equity interests. The reduction in consideration to shareholders effectively represents stock consideration in Agiliti, Inc. that the selling equityholders were willing to forgo to ensure that the transaction could proceed. The amended and restated merger agreement provides, among other things, that Agiliti Holdco will not, prior to January 9, 2019, exercise its right to terminate the agreement as a result of the transaction not having been consummated prior to the outside date, and certain closing conditions have been removed or modified.
In connection with entering into the amended and restated merger agreement, FSAC also entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement with an affiliate of THL, which will provide backstop financing for the revised transaction in the event of redemptions by FSAC’s public stockholders. The subscription agreement provides for the purchase of common stock of FSAC at a per share price of $8.50 in an aggregate amount up to $750 million.
FSAC will reconvene the special meeting to approve the transaction on January 3, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, at the offices of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., 100 Federal Street, 35th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. As announced by FSAC on December 17, 2018, the deadline for FSAC’s public stockholders to elect to redeem their shares of class A common stock was extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on December 31, 2018.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and BofA Merrill Lynch are serving as financial advisors and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal advisor to FSAC, and Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP is serving as legal advisor to Agiliti Health, Inc. and Irving Place Capital Management, L.P. in connection with the transaction.
For a full description of the amended and restated merger agreement and the amended and restated subscription agreement with the affiliate of THL, please see FSAC’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
