National Mentor, Inc. Receives Requisite Consents for
Consent Solicitation for its Outstanding
95/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012
Boston, Massachusetts, June 12, 2006 — National Mentor, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the results to date of its previously announced tender offer for any and all outstanding $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 95/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 63688XAB0) (the “Notes”) and related consent solicitation pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 25, 2006 (the “Offer to Purchase”). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2006 (the “Consent Date”), which was the deadline for holders to tender their Notes in order to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below) including the $30.00 consent payment, holders of approximately $149,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing approximately 99.5% of the outstanding Notes, had tendered their Notes pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation.
Adoption of the proposed amendments to the indenture relating to the Notes required the consent of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes. Accordingly, the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendments described in the Offer to Purchase have been received, and a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments has been executed. The proposed amendments will not become operative until payment for all validly tendered Notes is made by the Company.
The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Total Consideration”), which will be payable in respect of Notes that were validly tendered and are accepted for payment and consents that were validly delivered on or prior to the Consent Date, will be $1,134.68 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which includes a $30.00 payment payable only in respect of Notes that were tendered on or prior to the Consent Date. In addition, holders will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on the tendered Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date.
Notes may be tendered pursuant to the tender offer until 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 29, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”), or such later date and time to which the Expiration Date is extended, unless the tender offer is earlier terminated by the Company. Holders who validly tender Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2006, but on or prior to the Expiration Date will not be eligible to receive the consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Any Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the tender offer will remain outstanding and the holders thereof will be bound by the amendments contained in the supplemental indenture eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture even though they have not consented to the amendments.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation, payment for the tendered Notes will be made on or promptly after the Expiration Date.
The tender offer and consent solicitation is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including (1) the merger of NMH MergerSub, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of NMH Investment, LLC, an affiliate of Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P., with and
