To Securities Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
This letter is being distributed to securities dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees in connection with the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by The Providence Service Corporation (the “Company”) of non-transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and purchase shares of 5.5%/8.5% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), distributed to all holders of record (“Record Holders”) of shares of Common Stock, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014 (the “Record Date”). The Rights are described in the Company’s Prospectus, dated , 2014 (the “Prospectus”).
In the Rights Offering, the Company is offering an aggregate of 655,000 shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Prospectus. The Rights will expire, if not exercised, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014, unless extended in the sole discretion of the Company (as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).
As described in the accompanying Prospectus, each Record Holder will receive Rights for each share of Common Stock owned of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional rights.
Each whole Right will allow the holder thereof to subscribe for one share of Preferred Stock (the “Subscription Right”) at the cash price of $100.00 per share (the “Subscription Price”). Fractional Rights or cash in lieu of fractional Rights will not be issued in the Rights Offering. Fractional Rights will be rounded to the nearest whole number, with such adjustments as may be necessary to ensure that the Company offers 655,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the Rights Offering. As an example, if you owned 1,000 shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, you would receive Rights pursuant to your Subscription Right, and you would have the right to purchase shares of Preferred Stock in the Rights Offering pursuant to your Subscription Right. See “The Rights Offering—Subscription Rights” in the Prospectus.
The Rights are evidenced by a Rights certificate (a “Subscription Rights Certificate”) registered in your name or the name of your nominee. Each beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock registered in your name or the name of your nominee is entitled to exercise Rights for each share of Common Stock owned by such beneficial owner as of the Record Date. Rights may not be sold, transferred or assigned;provided,however, that Rights are transferable by operation of law (for example, the transfer of Rights to the estate of a recipient upon the recipient’s death).
We are asking persons who hold shares of Common Stock beneficially and who have received the Rights distributable with respect to those shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, as well as persons who hold certificates of Common Stock directly and prefer to have such institutions effect transactions relating to the Rights on their behalf, to contact the appropriate institution or nominee and request it to effect the transactions for them. In addition, we are asking beneficial owners who wish to obtain a separate Subscription Rights Certificate to contact the appropriate nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate Subscription Rights Certificate be issued.
