Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on April 29, 2022, Veradigm Inc. (the “Company”) and Veradigm LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Veradigm LLC, together with the Company, the “Borrower”), entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided for a revolving credit facility available to the Borrower, and as of August 27, 2024, there was no balance outstanding under such revolving credit facility.
On August 27, 2024, the Company provided notice to the Agent to terminate the Credit Agreement and all Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) thereunder effective as of August 30, 2024.
As of August 30, 2024, the Company has satisfied and discharged all obligations under the Credit Agreement, except for obligations expressly contemplated to survive payment of the obligations thereunder. The Company incurred no termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement. The Company terminated the Credit Agreement in order to avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely furnish the required financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Given the costs associated with the unused facility and the sufficiency of the cash and liquidity available to the Company to support its continuing operations, Company management believes that it is both cost-efficient and in the overall best interests of the Company and its stockholders to terminate the Credit Agreement at this time.
