INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

 

As previously reported, on May 16, 2022, Procaps Group, S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with AI Global Investments (Netherlands) PCC Limited, a protected cell company limited by shares organized under the laws of the Island of Guernsey (“PCC”), acting for and on behalf of the Soar Cell, Triana Capital S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable organized under the laws of Mexico (“Triana”), AI Pearl (Netherlands) B.V., a private limited company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Pearl Holding Seller”), Perrigo Ireland 7 DAC, a company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Republic of Ireland (“Pearl Ireland”, and together with PCC, Triana and Pearl Holding Seller, each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), AI Soar (Netherlands) BV, a (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Somar Holding Company”), Química y Farmacia S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Mexico (“Quifa”), PDM Acondifarma S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Mexico (“PDM”), Gelcaps Exportadora de México S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Mexico (“Gelcaps”, and together with Quifa and PDM, “Pearl Mexico”) and Grupo Farmacéutico Somar S.A.P.I. de C.V., a sociedad anónima promotora de inversión de capital variable organized under the laws of Mexico (“Somar” and together with Somar Holding Company and Pearl Mexico, “Grupo Somar” or the “Targets”) (the transactions contemplated by the SPA, the “Acquisition”).

 

In connection with the Acquisition, on October 11, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative and collateral agent, BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the joint lead arrangers and bookrunners, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Bridge Facility") to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition, to pay fees and expenses related to the Bridge Facility, to prepay, refinance and/or redeem certain existing indebtedness at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”), and to the extent any proceeds remain after applying to the foregoing, to use for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Any borrowing under the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Loan”), which shall occur on the date of the Closing, will accrue interest at a rate of Term SOFR (as defined in the Bridge Facility) plus a spread between 5.00% and 7.25%% determined according to the time period any such borrowing is outstanding and the Company’s credit rating, and will mature 12 months after the date of borrowing. The Bridge Facility is guaranteed by certain existing and future direct and indirect material subsidiaries of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain of the Targets and their subsidiaries upon the Closing. The Bridge Facility will also be secured by a pledge of all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of certain of the Targets and their subsidiaries upon the Closing.

 

Pursuant to the Bridge Facility, the Company and the guarantors thereunder are subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants which, among other things, (i) restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s and the guarantors’ ability to incur debt or grant liens, sell or transfer title to operating assets, pay dividends and distributions, engage in mergers and consolidations, guarantee, indemnify or assume the liabilities of third parties, engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change lines of business, or amend organizational documents; and (ii) require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.0x EBITDA at all times, and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.25x to 4.75x EBITDA, according to the time period any Bridge Loan has been outstanding, calculated on an annual basis. Additionally, the Bridge Loan may be prepaid by the Company or refinanced at any time, without penalty. The Company must prepay the Bridge Loan with, (i) subject to certain exceptions, all proceeds from asset sales or the incurrence of debt by the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) 75% of net cash proceeds from any issuances of equity or equity-like instruments by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

As previously reported, on November 12, 2021, the Company closed a private placement offering of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% guaranteed senior notes due November 12, 2031 (the “Senior Notes”) issued by Procaps, S.A., the Company's subsidiary, pursuant to a note purchase agreement (as subsequently amended prior to the NPA Amendment (as defined below), the “NPA”) entered into on November 5, 2021 with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, Healthspring Life & Health Insurance Company, Inc. and Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company Inc. (collectively, the “Noteholders”). The Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Procaps, S.A. and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and the following subsidiaries: Crynssen Pharma Group Limited, C.I. Procaps, S.A., Diabetrics Healthcare S.A.S., Pharmayect S.A., Procaps, S.A. de C.V., Biokemical, S.A. de C.V., Colbras Indústria e Comércio Ltda., and Sofgen Pharmaceuticals LLC.

In connection with the Acquisition and the Bridge Facility, at Closing the Company intends to prepay in full the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment and the make-whole amount determined for the date of such prepayment pursuant to the NPA (the “Notes Payoff”).

 

The Company previously expected that the Closing would occur on October 14, 2022 (the “Scheduled Closing and Prepayment Date”), and accordingly, pursuant to the requirements of the NPA, delivered advance notice to the Noteholders on October 11, 2022, of the Notes Payoff to occur on the Scheduled Closing and Prepayment Date.

 

On October 13, 2022, the Company was informed by the Sellers, and the Company subsequently informed the Noteholders, that the Sellers would not consummate the Acquisition on the Scheduled Closing and Prepayment Date due to the purported incomplete satisfaction of the closing conditions under the SPA, which relate to the Sellers and are unrelated to the Company. As a result of the delay in Closing, the expected borrowing under the Bridge Facility did not occur, and the Company was unable to complete the Notes Payoff on the Scheduled Closing and Prepayment Date, which technically constituted an event of default under the NPA (the “Technical Default”). The Noteholders informed the Company that they would not exercise any rights or remedies under the NPA due to the Technical Default pending entry into an amendment to the NPA formally waiving the Technical Default, and the Company and the Noteholders executed temporary waivers in connection therewith. On November 1, 2022, the Company and the Noteholders entered into an amendment to the NPA (the “NPA Amendment”) formally waiving the Technical Default effective as of the Scheduled Closing and Prepayment Date. The NPA Amendment also (i) provides the Company the ability, until November 30, 2022, to prepay the Senior Notes with two business days’ notice, (ii) provides that the make-whole amount under the NPA shall in no case be less than US$1,488,204.60, and (iii) provides that, if the Notes Payoff does not occur on or prior to November 30, 2022, a waiver fee of 3.75% per annum on the outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding shall (a) accrue from (and including) October 14, 2022 and (b) be payable to the Noteholders on the 12th day of February, May, August and November in each year (commencing on February 12, 2023), on the maturity date of such Senior Note and on each other date on which interest on such Senior Note is due and payable in accordance with the terms of the NPA and such Senior Note.

 

The Company expects that the Closing will occur in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to closing conditions.

 

The Company announces material information to the public through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the investor relations page on the Company’s website, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. The information disclosed by the foregoing channels could be deemed to be material information. As such, the Company encourages investors, the media and others to follow the channels listed above and to review the information disclosed through such channels.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the NPA, the NPA Amendment and the Bridge Facility are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are included as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K, and are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-261366).

Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Form 6-K, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this form 6-K will prove to be accurate.
