FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Providence Service Corporation Completes Acquisition of Ingeus Limited; Amends Credit Facility
TUCSON, ARIZONA
- June 3, 2014
-- The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC), a leader in the management and provision of human social services and non-emergency transportation through a variety of government-sponsored programs, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of Ingeus Limited, a pre-eminent distributed workforce development company and market leader in outsourced employability programs, effective May 30, 2014. The companies had announced the signing of an acquisition agreement on March 31, 2014. In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company also amended its Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated August 2, 2013. The amendment, effective May 28, 2014, provides for, among other things, an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility from $165 million to $240 million in aggregate.
Consistent with terms previously reported, Providence paid at closing a purchase price comprised of (i) a GBP £35 million cash payment (USD $58.7 million based on GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.6758 as of May 30, 2014) and (ii) the issuance of restricted shares of Providence common stock and payment of cash with a combined value of GBP £14,345,794 (USD $24.0 million), subject to a four-year vesting schedule. Providence will also pay contingent earn-out consideration of up to GBP £75 million (USD $125.7 million), payable over a five year period, based on the achievement of certain levels of performance criteria by Ingeus.
"We are very pleased to announce the closing of the Ingeus acquisition which brings extensive experience in global government services to the Providence platform", said Providence CEO Warren Rustand. "We believe that Ingeus stands poised to take advantage of growth opportunities in the global workforce development space. Additionally, with the unique structure of the purchase price that ties considerable consideration to performance thresholds, we are confident we have aligned incentives towards generating cash flow and value for our shareholders over the coming years".
