Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Kinetic Concepts, Inc., a Texas corporation (“KCI”) is an operating subsidiary of Centaur Guernsey L.P. Inc. (the “Company”).
On October 28, 2013, KCI completed its previously announced acquisition of the SystegenixTM wound care business from an entity controlled by One Equity Partners III, L.P. (the “Seller”) for a purchase price of $485 million (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the Acquisition, the Seller spun off an early-stage diagnostics business out of Systagenix™. The purchase price was funded by a combination of cash on hand and $350 million of incremental term D-1 loans (the “Incremental Loans”) incurred pursuant to Amendment No. 3, dated as of October 28, 2013 (the “Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2011, among KCI and KCI USA, Inc., the guarantors, the lenders and others party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent for the lenders.
The Incremental Loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at KCI’s election, a Eurocurrency rate plus 3.50% or an adjusted base rate plus 2.50%. The Eurocurrency rate shall be subject to a floor of 1.00%, and the adjusted base rate shall be subject to a floor of 2.00%. The Incremental Loans mature on May 4, 2018, and amortize in quarterly installments equal to 1.0% per annum of the outstanding principal amount thereof on October 28, 2013.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
