Team Health Holdings, Inc. Completes Repricing of Term Loan B

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Team Health Holdings, Inc. ("TeamHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: TMH), a leading physician services organization, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Team Health, Inc., completed a repricing effected through a refinancing (the "Repricing Transaction") of its existing senior secured tranche B term loan facility ("Term Loan B Facility") at the current outstanding amount of $1.312 billion pursuant to an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (such refinanced Term Loan B Facility, the "New Term Loan B Facility"). The Amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan B Facility by 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.00% from LIBOR plus 3.75% (in each case subject to a minimum LIBOR floor of 75 basis points).

"The favorable credit market conditions and TeamHealth's historically strong credit profile have enabled us to reduce our cost of debt. This repricing enhances our capital structure, and the improvement in our operating cash flows will provide us with additional flexibility," said TeamHealth Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, David Jones.

The Repricing Transaction is expected to reduce the Company's annual cash interest payments by approximately $9.8 million, before considering future principal payments. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company is required to pay a 1.00% prepayment penalty if the New Term Loan B Facility is repriced in order to effect a reduction in pricing on or prior to December 2, 2016.

The maturity date for the New Term Loan B Facility remains November 23, 2022, and no changes were made to the financial covenants or scheduled amortization.

The repricing transaction was led by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.
