RadNet Announces the Closing of Amended and Restated $602.5
Million First Lien Credit Facilities
LOS ANGELES, California, July 1, 2016 - RadNet,
Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through
a network of 309 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today announced the successful closing of the previously announced
refinancing of its senior secured first lien term loan facility and senior secured revolving credit facility. The refinancing
provides for $485,000,000 senior secured first lien term loans and a $117,500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility. The
first lien term loans have a maturity date of July 1, 2023 and the revolving credit facility has a maturity date of July 1, 2021,
provided that both maturity dates shall be shortened to September 25, 2020 in the event that the second lien term loans under
RadNet's second lien credit facility have not been repaid, refinanced or extended prior to September 25, 2020.
The first lien term loans and the revolving credit facility
are both floating rate facilities, and RadNet may request that the interest rate thereon be based upon LIBOR (subject to a 1% LIBOR
floor for the term loans) plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum.
Except for the size, term, pricing and certain representations
and covenants, the amended and restated credit agreement evidencing the first lien term loans and the revolving credit facility
is substantially similar to RadNet's existing senior secured credit agreement.
The proceeds of the amended and restated credit facilities are
being used to refinance RadNet's existing senior secured first lien credit obligations, to repay $12 million of the outstanding
term loans under RadNet's existing second lien credit facility, to pay fees and expenses related to the transaction and to
provide approximately $10 million for general corporate purposes.
"We are very pleased to have been able to refinance our
senior secured first lien credit facilities at this time," said Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer
of RadNet. "By completing this transaction, we were able to successfully extend the maturities of the senior portion of our
capital structure and improve our financial flexibility. We would like to thank our group of supportive lenders."
The borrower under the amended and restated credit facility
is RadNet's subsidiary, RadNet Management, Inc. The obligations of the borrower under the amended and restated credit facility
are guaranteed by RadNet, all of the borrower's current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and certain of its
affiliates. With certain exceptions, the obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower, RadNet and
such subsidiaries and affiliates.
