[1] On July 19, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the "Initial Notes"). The Initial Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. The Initial Notes are senior obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks' existing and future U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). In June 2012, in accordance with the registration rights granted to the original purchasers of the Initial Notes, the Company completed an exchange offer of the privately placed Initial Notes for new 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the "Exchange Notes," and together with the Initial Notes, the "Senior Unsecured Notes") registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms to the Initial Notes. A portion of the gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2011 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Senior Unsecured Notes are the Company's general senior unsecured obligations, and rank equally with the Company's existing and future senior unsecured obligations and senior to all of the Company's further subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9.0% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2012. At any time on or after July 15, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices stated in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to July 15, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes remains outstanding after redemption. Further, the Company may redeem some or all of the of the Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2015 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes plus a make whole premium described in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.The Indenture includes covenants which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain types of restricted payments, incur liens on assets of the Company or the restricted subsidiaries, engage in asset sales and enter into transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), the Company may be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
