Modivcare, a technology-enabled healthcare services company providing a platform of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving health outcomes, announced that it has taken necessary and decisive action intended to strengthen its financial foundation while continuing to provide access to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes for clients and members nationwide. Modivcare has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to implement a comprehensive restructuring transaction with the support of a supermajority of its key stakeholders. Through this process, Modivcare intends to build a stronger, sustainable organization, positioned for growth and well-equipped to meet the critical needs of members across its non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services and remote patient monitoring service lines.
“Modivcare sits at the center of the preventive healthcare ecosystem,” said Heath Sampson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Modivcare. “This recapitalization strengthens our balance sheet and allows Modivcare to accelerate our investment in innovation by combining technology and data with high-touch member engagement. As the connector to care, our seamlessly connected platform improves access, quality and cost for payors, providers and facilities, while positioning us to lead the future of coordinated care.”
More than 90% of First Lien Lenders and more than 70% of Second Lien Lenders have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with the Company. Those lenders have committed to support the Company throughout this process and have agreed to provide $100 million in “debtor-in-possession” (“DIP”) financing to finance the restructuring process and to support ongoing operations during this expedited bankruptcy process. Upon the closing of the DIP loan, Modivcare will have liquidity in excess of $100 million. The restructuring will reduce the Company’s total outstanding funded debt obligations by approximately $1.1 billion (which is more than 85% of its outstanding funded debt obligations) and will meaningfully reduce the Company’s annual cash interest and transition ownership to a group of seasoned and well-funded investors who are committed to Modivcare’s success.
All of Modivcare’s service lines will continue to operate in the ordinary course, and we expect no interruption or change in access to care and a continued focus on operational excellence. Modivcare intends to close this transaction quickly by exiting the restructuring process early in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Modivcare remains committed to providing excellent service to clients and their members. The Company has filed customary motions that, once approved, will allow Modivcare to meet obligations to clients and critical vendors, including transportation providers, and pay employee wages and benefits as usual.
