| Item 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On August 9, 2016, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with certain of its stockholders, each affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. or TPG Global, LLC (the “Selling Stockholders”), and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Underwriters”) relating to the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriters of an aggregate of 7,440,675 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The sale of such shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders was completed on August 12, 2016.
The underwriting agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities on customary terms.
The Underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided in the past to the Company and its affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking, lending and other services for the Company and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.
Immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the underwriting agreement, the Selling Stockholders collectively held approximately 3.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Each Selling Stockholder is also party to the Company’s stockholders agreement dated April 24, 2014 and amended March 30, 2015, among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the other parties thereto (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The shares sold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the underwriting agreement were the last remaining shares subject to the Stockholders Agreement. As a result of the sale of those shares, the Stockholders Agreement has automatically terminated pursuant to its terms (other than certain provisions which expressly survived termination of the Stockholders Agreement pursuant to its terms).
The offering of the shares of common stock of the Company by the Selling Stockholders was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-209390), the prospectus dated February 4, 2016 and the related prospectus supplement dated August 9, 2016.
The foregoing description of the underwriting agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the underwriting agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the underwriting agreement has been included to provide information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. In particular, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
