As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by UpHealth, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2023 (the “November 20 Current Report”), on November 16, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cloudbreak Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cloudbreak”), entered into a membership interests purchase agreement (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Forest Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Forest Buyer”) and an affiliate of GTCR LLC, a leading private equity firm, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell all of the outstanding equity interests of Cloudbreak and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Cloudbreak to Forest Buyer for $180.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for closing indebtedness, net working capital, cash and unpaid transaction expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Sale” and all of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in the Company’s Proxy Statement (as defined below) collectively, the “Transactions”). The Transactions are expected to close (the “Closing”) on the date that is the third business day following receipt of the approval of the Company’s stockholders in favor of the Sale at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders to be held on February 29, 2024 for the purpose of approving the Sale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Special Meeting”) and the satisfaction or waiver of each of the other conditions to Closing, but in no event prior to March 15, 2024, unless consented to in writing by the Company and Buyer (such date, the “Closing Date”).

Furthermore, as previously disclosed in the November 20 Current Report, in connection and concurrently with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company, Cloudbreak and Forest Buyer entered into a transaction support agreement, dated as of November 16, 2023 (as it may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, including any exhibits, schedules, or annexes thereto, the “Transaction Support Agreement”), with certain beneficial holders of the Company’s Variable Rate Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”) (being the holders of at least 69% of the 2025 Notes, the “Consenting 2025 Noteholders”) and certain beneficial holders of the Company’s 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) (being the holders of at least 88% of the 2026 Notes, the “Consenting 2026 Noteholders”, and together with the Consenting Senior Secured Noteholders, the “Consenting Noteholders”), pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed, among other things, to support the Purchase Agreement and the Transactions, including the Sale, and to enter into and effect the Supplemental Indentures (as defined below) in connection with the offers to repurchase the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture as a result of any or all of the Transactions constituting a Fundamental Change (as such term is defined in each of the Indentures) under the applicable Indenture (each, a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer”) to be made by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement.

Supplemental Indentures

On February 9, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Support Agreement, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture and amendment to security and pledge agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “First Lien Supplemental Indenture and Amendment to Security Agreement”), which amends the terms of the indenture, dated as of August 18, 2022, by and among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (“Wilmington Trust”), in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent thereunder, relating to the 2025 Notes (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the First Lien Supplemental Indenture and Amendment to Security Agreement as described below, the “First Lien Indenture”), and the security and pledge agreement, dated as of August 18, 2022, by and among the Company, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Trust, as collateral agent, relating to the 2025 Notes (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the First Lien Supplemental Indenture and Amendment to Security Agreement as described below, the “First Lien Security Agreement” and together with the First Lien Indenture, the “First Lien Documents”). The First Lien Supplemental Indenture and Amendment to Security Agreement amends the terms of the First Lien Indenture to, among other things, (a) provide for certain changes to certain of the definitions in the First Lien Indenture, including “Permitted Indebtedness”, “Permitted Investments”, “Permitted Liens”, “Asset Sale”, “Excluded Subsidiary” and “Significant Subsidiary” (b) provide for certain modifications to covenants of the Company and certain changes with respects to events of default; (c) provide a carveout for the Sale from the terms of the First Lien Indenture with respect to mergers and sale transactions; (d) delete the rule prohibiting repurchases in connection with a Fundamental Change arising from the Sale at the time the 2025 Notes have been accelerated, and (e) modify the provisions in respect of repurchases of 2025 Notes as a result of a Fundamental Change for the Consenting 2025 Noteholders in respect of the Sale to account for a multi-step process for the repurchase of the 2025 Notes (i.e., to require a repurchase offer at Closing and in connection with subsequent paydowns with the proceeds of released funds from certain segregated escrow accounts to be established prior to the Closing pursuant to one or more escrow agreements in a customary form to be agreed upon as provided under the Purchase Agreement by Forest Buyer, the Company, the Required Noteholders (as defined in the Proxy Statement) and an escrow agent), in each case, at a 5.00% premium to the principal amount of such 2025 Notes pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement.

Furthermore, the First Lien Supplemental Indenture and Amendment to Security Agreement amends the terms of the First Lien Security Agreement to (i) reduce the deadline for timely performance of certain covenants by the Company and the Guarantors from 20 business days to 7 business days, and (ii) provide that in the event the collateral agent exercises certain voting and other rights in respect of the capital stock and other securities of the Guarantors upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an event of default under the First Lien Indenture, the collateral agent’s notice to a Guarantor may be provided concurrently with such exercise.

In addition, on February 9, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Support Agreement, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Second Lien Supplemental Indenture” and together with the First Lien Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the indenture, dated June 9, 2021, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (“BNY Mellon”), in its capacity as successor trustee and as collateral agent thereunder (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the Second Lien Supplemental Indenture and the Second Lien Security Agreement as described below, the “Second Lien Indenture” and together with the First Lien Indenture, the “Indentures”), the terms of which amend the Second Lien Indenture to, among other things, (a) add each subsidiary of UpHealth, other than Glocal Healthcare Systems Private Limited, UPH Digital Health Services Private Limited and any subsidiary of UpHealth that is, as of the date of the Supplemental Indentures, a debtor or debtor in possession in any bankruptcy proceeding, including the Chapter 11 Proceedings (as defined below) (collectively, the “Guarantors”), as a guarantor of the obligations under the 2026 Notes pursuant to the Second Lien Indenture; (b) cause UpHealth and the Guarantors to grant a second-priority security interest on the same collateral that secures the 2025 Notes; (c) in connection with those items described in clauses (a) and (b) above, incorporate provisions similar to those in the First Lien Indenture, including with respect to covenants and events of default, as previously disclosed by the Company and as modified by the First Lien Supplemental Indenture; and (d) provide a carveout for the Sale from the terms of the Second Lien Indenture with respect to mergers and sale transactions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Indenture, the 2026 Notes are secured by a second-priority lien, subject only to certain permitted liens, in substantially all assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to customary exclusions, pursuant to a security and pledge agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (as it may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Second Lien Security Agreement” and together with the Second Lien Indenture, the “Second Lien Documents”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and BNY Mellon, as collateral agent on behalf of the 2026 Noteholders.

At any time when the Company and its subsidiaries receive Net Proceeds (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture) from an Asset Sale (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture), so long as the 2025 Notes have been repaid in full or to the extent the Company’s Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer in respect of the 2025 Notes has been declined by the holders of the 2025 Notes then outstanding, the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all 2026 Noteholders to repurchase 2026 Notes for an aggregate amount of cash equal to 100.0% of such Net Proceeds (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Proceeds previously applied to the repurchase of any 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes pursuant to any preceding Asset Sale Offer), at a repurchase price per 2026 Note equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus any remaining amounts that would be owed to, but not excluding, the Maturity Date.

In addition, each party to the Supplemental Indentures has expressly agreed that the Supplemental Indentures will be deemed not to affect any rights or obligations of any subsidiary of the Company that is, as of the date of the Supplemental Indentures, a debtor or debtor in possession in any bankruptcy proceeding, including the chapter 11 proceedings pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware under caption In re UpHealth Holdings, Inc., Case No. 23-11476-LSS (the “Chapter 11 Proceedings”).

In accordance with the terms of the Indentures, the Company received consents to the Supplemental Indentures from the holders of $43,357,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes, representing approximately 75.76% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes, and the holders of $86,329,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes, representing approximately 75.07% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes.

The amendments set forth in the Supplemental Indentures will become effective as of the date upon which the Company has paid all reasonable costs and expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by Wilmington Trust and BNY Mellon, respectively, in connection with the Supplemental Indentures to the extent due and payable pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Supplemental Indenture, respectively. As previously disclosed by the Company in the November 20 Current Report, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, the Supplemental Indentures may not be amended, modified or terminated in a manner that is material and adverse to Forest Buyer without its prior written consent.

In connection with the entry into the Supplemental Indentures, on February 9, 2024, Wilmington Trust, in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent on behalf of the 2025 Noteholders, and BNY Mellon, in its capacity as successor trustee and collateral agent on behalf of the 2026 Noteholders, entered into an intercreditor agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024, and acknowledged by the Company and the Guarantors (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), the terms of which, among other things, confirm the relative priority of their respective Liens (as defined in the applicable Indenture) in the Collateral (as defined in the applicable Indenture) and provide for the application, in accordance with such priorities, of proceeds of such Collateral.

Waivers and Rescission Agreements

In connection with the entry into the Supplemental Indentures, on February 9, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Support Agreement, the Company, Cloudbreak and the Consenting 2025 Noteholders entered into a waiver and rescission agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Waiver and Recission Agreement”), pursuant to which the Consenting 2025 Noteholders have agreed to waive, with respect to the Company and Cloudbreak, the specified events of default under the First Lien Indenture resulting from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Proceedings (the “2025 Indenture Events of Default”) and rescind, with respect to the Company and Cloudbreak, the automatic acceleration of the 2025 Notes resulting from the occurrence of the 2025 Indenture Events of Default (the “2025 Notes Acceleration”). The Waiver and Recission Agreement will become effective upon the payment by the Company of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Consenting 2025 Noteholders in connection therewith.

Furthermore, on February 9, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Support Agreement, the Company and the Consenting 2026 Noteholders entered into a waiver agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Waiver Agreement” and together with the Waiver and Recission Agreement, the “Waivers and Rescission Agreements”), pursuant to which the Consenting 2026 Noteholders have agreed to waive, with respect to the Company and Cloudbreak, the specified events of default under the Second Lien Indenture resulting from the 2025 Notes Acceleration and the commencement of the Chapter 11 Proceedings (the “2026 Indenture Events of Default”). The Waiver Agreement will become effective upon the payment by the Company of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Consenting 2026 Noteholders in connection therewith.

Upon the effectiveness of the Waivers and Rescission Agreements and until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer in respect of the 2026 Notes or (ii) the termination of the Transaction Support Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, each of the Consenting Noteholders has agreed not to consent to, execute or otherwise participate in any way in any declaration of acceleration of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (as applicable) as a result of the failure of the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined in the applicable Indenture) or to conduct or consummate a Fundamental Change repurchase pursuant to Article 15 of the Indenture, in each case, in the event that the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, ceases to be listed on a national securities exchange (the “Delisting Fundamental Change”).

The foregoing description of the Waiver and Rescission Agreement and the Waiver Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Waiver and Rescission Agreement and the Waiver Agreement, which are filed with this Current Report as Exhibits 4.4 and 4.5, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management of the Company considering their respective experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments and their potential effects on the Company as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the outcome of the CFR hearing and whether the CFR will grant the Company’s request for continued listing, whether the Company will be able to regain and sustain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE or comply with the initial listing standards of another national securities exchange, the closing conditions for the sale of Cloudbreak not being satisfied, the ability of the parties to close the sale on the expected Closing Date or at all, the ability of the Company to service or otherwise pay its debt obligations, including to holders of the Company’s convertible notes, the mix of services utilized by the Company’s customers and such customers’ needs for these services, market acceptance of new service offerings, the ability of the Company to expand what it does for existing customers as well as to add new customers, uncertainty with respect to how the International Court of Arbitration or the Indian courts shall decide various matters that are before them or that the board of directors of Glocal Healthcare Systems Private Limited (“Glocal”) will act in compliance with its fiduciary duties to Glocal’s shareholders, that the Company will have sufficient capital to operate as anticipated, and the impact that the novel coronavirus and the illness, COVID-19, that it causes, as well as government responses to deal with the spread of this illness and the reopening of economies that have been closed as part of these responses, may have on the Company’s operations, the demand for the Company’s products, global supply chains and economic activity in general. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
