The remaining proceeds were used to pay down $74.8 million of the Term Loan B and $10.0 million of the Revolver. A portion of the proceeds was placed in a restricted account pending application to finance certain acquisitions, including the acquisitions of a radiation treatment center and physician practices in South Carolina consummated on May 3, 2010. The Company incurred approximately $11.9 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with the offering, and the initial purchasers’ discount of $1.9 million.

 

In March 2011, Radiation Therapy Services, Inc. (“RTS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, issued to DDJ Capital Management, LLC, $50 million in aggregate principal amount of 97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The proceeds of $48.5 million were used (i) to fund the Company’s acquisition of all of the outstanding membership units of Medical Developers LLC (“MDLLC”) and substantially all of the interests of MDLLC’s affiliated companies (the “MDLLC Acquisition”), not then controlled by the Company and (ii) to fund transaction costs associated with the MDLLC Acquisition.

 

In August 2011, the Company entered into a lease line of credit with a financial institution for the purpose of obtaining financing for medical equipment purchases in the commitment amount of $12.5 million.  The commitment, subject to various restrictions, was scheduled to be available through November 2011. The Company had utilized approximately $8.7 million under the lease line of credit.

 

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

 

On May 10, 2012, the Company issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”).

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 10, 2012 (the “Indenture”), among RTS, the guarantors signatory thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, governing the Notes. The Notes are senior secured second lien obligations of RTS and are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by RTS, and each of RTS’s domestic subsidiaries to the extent such guarantor is a guarantor of RTS’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

 

Interest is payable on the Notes on each May 15 and November 15, commencing November 15, 2012. RTS may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2014 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and an applicable make-whole premium. On or after May 15, 2014, RTS may redeem some or all of the Notes at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2014, RTS may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at a specified redemption price with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings.

 

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company, RTS and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if RTS sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Notes.

 

RTS used the proceeds to repay its existing senior secured revolving credit facility of approximately $63.0 million and the Term Loan B portion of approximately $265.4 million, of its senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility described below, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes. RTS incurred approximately $14.4 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with the offering, and the initial purchasers’ discount of $1.7 million.

 

Credit Agreement

 

On May 10, 2012, RTS also entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among RTS, as borrower, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), collateral agent, issuing bank and as swingline lender, the other agents party thereto and the lenders party thereto.

 

The credit facilities provided under the Credit Agreement consist of a revolving credit facility providing for up to $140 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  RTS may increase the aggregate amount of revolving loans by an amount not to exceed $10 million in the aggregate.  The Revolving Credit Facility matures October 15, 2016.

(b)           for loans which are base rate loans, (i) the greatest of (A) the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate at such time, (B) the overnight federal funds rate at such time plus ½ of 1%, and (C) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin based upon a total leverage pricing grid.

 

RTS will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) letter of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and (iii) administration fees.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of RTS and certain of its subsidiaries to:  incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness, including the Notes; change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and incur restrictions on the ability of RTS’s subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers.  In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, we will be required to comply with a specific first lien leverage ratio not to exceed 1.25 to 1.00.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation and a change of control.

 

The obligations of RTS under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and each direct and indirect, domestic subsidiary of RTS.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the Revolving Credit Facility or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of RTS’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).
