The transaction value also includes the aggregate net offer price for 125,000 shares issuable pursuant to a warrant and 1,700,000 shares issuable pursuant to a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with Mr. Kerry R. Hicks, the Chief Executive Officer of Health Grades.

This Amendment No. 11 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) amends and supplements the Schedule TO relating to the tender offer by Mountain Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Mountain Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), for all of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Health Grades, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Health Grades”), at a price of $8.20 per share net to the seller in cash without interest and less any required withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), if any, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated August 10, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), which, together with any amendments or supplements, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

 

Items 1 through 9 and 11

 

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby revised as follows:

 

The Offer expired at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, October 7, 2010.  The Depositary (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) has advised Parent and Purchaser that a total of 24,916,269 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn upon expiration of the Offer (not including 334,897 Shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures).  Purchaser accepted for payment all such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer.  In addition, Purchaser purchased 5,108,954 Shares directly from certain stockholders pursuant to Support Agreements (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).  As a result of these transactions, Purchaser owns approximately 86% of the outstanding shares of Health Grades.

 

On October 7, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), Purchaser exercised its top-up option to purchase, at a per share price equal to the Offer Price, 12,650,970 newly issued shares of Health Grades’s common stock (the “Top-Up Shares”), to bring Purchaser’s ownership of Health Grades’s common stock, when combined with the Shares acquired by Purchaser in the Offer, to one share more than 90% of the shares of Health Grades’s common stock outstanding after such purchase (calculated on a fully diluted basis in accordance with the Merger Agreement).  The aggregate purchase price of $103,737,954.00 for the Top-Up Shares was paid by Purchaser by a promissory note.  Health Grades offered and sold the Top-Up Shares as a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Parent and Purchaser effected a short-form merger (the “Merger”), without the need for a meeting of Health Grades’ stockholders. In the Merger, Purchaser merged with and into Health Grades with Health Grades continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Share not tendered in the Offer (other than treasury Shares, Shares held by Parent, Purchaser or any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries or Shares held by stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under applicable provisions of Delaware law) have been converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.

 

On October 7, 2010, Health Grades and Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P. issued a joint press release announcing that Purchaser (a) had accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, (b) purchased Shares pursuant to the Support Agreements, and (c) intends to effect a short-form merger in which Purchaser will be merged with and into Health Grades, with Health Grades surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  The full text of the joint press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(15) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
