4-May-2009
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
To the extent required by Item 1.01 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein. Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
As previously disclosed, WebMD Health Corp. holds investments in certain
auction rate securities (ARS) backed by student loans. In May 2008, WebMD
entered into a non-recourse credit facility (the "2008 Credit Facility") with an
affiliate of Citigroup secured by WebMD's ARS holdings (including, in some
circumstances, interest payable on the ARS holdings), that allowed WebMD to
borrow up to 75% of the face amount of the ARS holdings pledged as collateral.
The description of the 2008 Credit Facility in Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in WebMD's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008 is, pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K,
incorporated by reference herein. No borrowings were made under the 2008 Credit
Facility.
On April 28, 2009, WebMD entered into an amended and restated credit facility
with an affiliate of Citigroup (the "2009 Credit Facility"), replacing the 2008
Credit Facility. The 2009 Credit Facility is secured by WebMD's ARS holdings
(including, in some circumstances, interest payable on the ARS holdings). The
2009 Credit Facility is governed by an amended and restated loan agreement
containing customary representations and warranties of WebMD and certain
affirmative covenants and negative covenants relating to the pledged collateral.
Under the loan agreement, WebMD and the lender may, in certain circumstances,
cause the pledged collateral to be sold, with the proceeds of any such sale
required to be applied in full immediately to repayment of amounts borrowed.
Loan proceeds may be used for general working capital purposes or other lawful
business purposes of WebMD (including repurchases of its own securities), but
not for purposes of buying, trading or carrying other securities. The other
material terms of the 2009 Credit Facility are substantially the same as the
2008 Credit Facility, except as follows:
• the maximum that can be borrowed by WebMD under the 2009 Credit Facility is
$123,075,000 (an amount equal to 75% of the face amount of WebMD's current
ARS holdings);
• the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2009 Credit Facility will be the Open Federal Funds Rate plus 3.95%; and
• WebMD can make borrowings under the 2009 Credit Facility until April 27, 2010.
No borrowings have been made under the 2009 Credit Facility to date. Any
borrowings outstanding under the 2009 Credit Facility after February 26, 2010
become demand loans, subject to 60 days notice, with recourse only to the
pledged collateral.
HLTH Corporation, which owns approximately 83% of the outstanding common
stock of WebMD, has also entered into a new credit facility with Citigroup
(replacing its existing one), on substantially the same terms as WebMD's 2009
Credit Facility, with the maximum amount that can be borrowed under HLTH's new
credit facility being $142,575,000. No borrowings have been made under HLTH's
new credit facility.
