This Amendment No. 7 (this
Amendment No. 7
) amends and
supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits and annexes attached hereto or thereto, the
Schedule 14D-9
), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the
SEC
) by MModal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company
), on July 17, 2012 and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on July 24, 2012, Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed
with the SEC on July 25, 2012, Amendment No. 3 thereto, filed with the SEC on August 2, 2012, Amendment No. 4 thereto, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2012, Amendment No. 5 thereto, filed with the SEC on August 8,
2012, and Amendment No. 6 thereto, filed with the SEC on August 10, 2012, relating to the cash tender offer by Legend Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Purchaser
) and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Legend Parent,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Parent
). Parent is controlled by One Equity Partners V, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (
OEP V
), as disclosed in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed
by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on July 17, 2012 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the
Schedule TO
). The Schedule TO relates to Purchasers offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock at a purchase price of $14.00 per share (the
Offer Price
), net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, dated July 17, 2012 (the
Offer to Purchase
), and the related letter of transmittal (the
Letter of Transmittal
, which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, constitutes the
Offer
). The Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal were filed with the SEC on July 17, 2012 as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively, to the Schedule 14D-9 and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the original Schedule
14D-9, Amendment No. 1 thereto, Amendment No. 2 thereto, Amendment No. 3 thereto, Amendment No. 4 thereto, Amendment No. 5 thereto and Amendment No. 6 thereto remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference as
relevant to the items in this Amendment No. 7. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9.
Item 8.

Additional Information
|
Item 8Additional Information is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph after the
penultimate paragraph thereof:
Expiration of the Offer
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2012. The depository has advised that, as of
the expiration of the Offer, 46,488,790 shares of Common Stock had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser intends to promptly accept for payment and purchase all shares of Common Stock that were
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Purchaser also intends to exercise its Top-Up Option, pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of Common Stock to Purchaser, at a price per share equal to the Offer Price, in an amount sufficient
to ensure that Purchaser and Parent can effect a short-form merger under applicable Delaware law.
After
exercising its Top-Up Option under the Merger Agreement, Parent intends to promptly effect a short-form merger under applicable Delaware law in which Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the
Merger and continuing as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent. The Merger is expected to be completed on or about August 17, 2012. As a result of the Merger, any shares of Common Stock previously tendered will be cancelled and shall cease to
exist and (except for shares held by (i) the Company as treasury stock, (ii) Parent or Purchaser or (iii) any stockholder of the Company who is entitled to and properly exercises appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right
to receive the same $14.00 per share in cash paid in the Offer. Following the Merger, all shares of Common Stock will cease to be traded on The NASDAQ Global Market.
On August 15, 2012, the Company and OEP V issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (e)(44) hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
