ENVISION HEALTHCARE ANNOUNCES CONVERSION OF 5.250% MANDATORY
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES A‑1
NASHVILLE, Tenn. & GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - (June 30, 2017) - Envision Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: EVHC) today announced that all outstanding shares of its 5.250% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A‑1 (“Preferred Stock”) will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”). The conversion will be effective at 5:00 p.m. eastern daylight savings time on July 3, 2017 (“Mandatory Conversion Date”), which is the first business day following the conversion date of July 1, 2017. No action by holders of Preferred Stock is required in connection with the mandatory conversion.
On the Mandatory Conversion Date, each share of Preferred Stock, unless previously converted, will automatically convert into 1.8141 shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion was determined based on the volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock over the 20-trading-day period ending on June 29, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock. The Company will pay cash in lieu of any fractional share upon conversion.
As previously announced, the next scheduled dividend payment date with respect to the Preferred Stock is the Mandatory Conversion Date, payable to record holders of the Preferred Stock as of June 15, 2017 in the customary manner.
Following the Mandatory Conversion Date, shares of Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and all rights of the holders with respect to such Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, will terminate, except for the right to receive the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, as described above. Upon conversion, the Preferred Stock will be delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding 1,725,000 shares of Preferred Stock, all of which will be converted to Common Stock on or before the Mandatory Conversion Date. The impact of this conversion was contemplated in the Company’s previously issued adjusted net earnings per share guidance, which gives effect to the dilutive impact of the conversion.
