On 17 June 2013 Constellation Health, Constellation Health Merger Sub, Inc., Orion and Orion Disbursing Agent, LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby Constellation Health acquired one hundred per cent. of the common stock of Orion for an aggregate purchase price of $32,000,000.

The purchase price included an initial cash payment of $27,300,000 made at closing and $700,000 paid into an escrow account. In addition to the base purchase price, the merger agreement contemplates two contingent payments of up to $4,000,000 in aggregate based on Orion’s revenues for the 12 month period ended 30 June 2014 and the 12 month period ending 31 December 2014. The minimum revenue required for payment of any earnout for the period ended 30 June 2014 was not achieved. Similarly, the Directors believe that the minimum revenue target for the 12 month period ending 31 December 2014 is unlikely to be met. In connection with the contingent payments, Constellation and Orion issued a promissory note in favour of Orion Disbursing Agent LLC on the same date for up to $4,000,000 to secure such contingent payments. This promissory note is secured by a pledge agreement with one hundred per cent. (100 per cent.) of Orion being pledged as security, although this is subordinated to the security granted by the Group pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The agreement contains typical representations and warranties and is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

The price for the interest acquired under the Purchase Agreement was $1,900,000 paid in cash at closing and certain earnout payments based on revenue targets of the business activities and operations of NEMS West Virginia, LLC and NEMS Acquisition LLC. The Directors estimate that the amount of the earnout payments in connection with the Purchase Agreement will be approximately $640,000.

The Purchase Agreement contains typical representations and warranties and is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
