ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, the Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell up to an aggregate of 13,753,387 shares of our Class A common stock. To the extent necessary, each time that the Selling Stockholders offer and sell securities, we or the Selling Stockholders may provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. To the extent permitted by law, we may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses that may contain material information relating to these offerings. Such prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing prospectuses), together with the additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

 

Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders take any responsibility for, nor provide any assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders will make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover, that the information appearing in any applicable free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

 

This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, statistical data, estimates and information concerning our industry, including market position and the size and growth rates of the markets in which we participate, that are based on independent industry publications and reports or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. While we believe such industry and market data are reliable and are based on reasonable assumptions, these data involve many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and reports. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Among other items, certain of the market research that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus was published prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and did not anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic or the impact it has caused on our industry. We have utilized this pre-pandemic market research in the absence of updated sources. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the projections and estimates made in these publications and reports and by us. Certain information that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus concerning our industry and the markets served by us, including our market share, is also based on our good-faith estimates derived from management’s knowledge of the industry and other information currently available to us.

 

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this prospectus to the terms “SOC Telemed,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to SOC Telemed, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this prospectus, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and variations thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

 

our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and our ability to manage our growth following the Acquisition;

 

our financial performance and capital requirements;

 

our expectations relating to bookings and revenues;

 

our market opportunity and our ability to estimate the size of our target market;

 

our ability to retain our existing customers and to increase our number of customers;

 

potential acquisitions and integration of complementary businesses and technologies;

 

our ability to maintain and expand our network of established, board-certified physicians and other provider specialists;

 

our ability to attract, integrate, and retain key personnel and highly qualified personnel;

 

our ability to comply with new or modified laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business;

 

the implementation and effects of our restructuring plan;

 

the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations;

 

the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;

 

the possibility that our business may be harmed by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and

 

other factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in our SEC filings incorporated herein or in any prospectus supplement by reference. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus, in any prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference speaks only as of the respective date thereof. Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and growth of our business. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may harm our business. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

We operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be harmed.

 

The level of demand for and market utilization of our solutions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty.

 

We have a history of losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in the future. We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition may fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which may result in a decline in our stock price if such fluctuations result in a failure to meet any projections that we may provide or the expectations of securities analysts or investors.

 

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or similar epidemics in the future or other adverse public health developments, including government responses to such events.

 

Our sales cycle can be long and unpredictable and requires considerable time and expense. As a result, our sales, revenues, and cash flows are difficult to predict and may vary substantially from period to period, which may cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly.

 

Developments affecting spending by the healthcare industry could adversely affect our revenues.

 

If our existing customers do not continue or renew their contracts with us, renew at lower fee levels or decline to purchase additional services from us, our business may be harmed.

 

Our telemedicine business and growth strategy depend on our ability to maintain and expand our network of established, board-certified physicians and other provider specialists. If we are unable to do so, our future growth would be limited and our business would be harmed.

 

Our telemedicine business is dependent on our relationships with affiliated professional entities, which we do not own, to provide physician services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted.

 

We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders, and otherwise disrupt our operations, and we may have difficulty integrating any such acquisitions successfully or realizing the anticipated benefits therefrom, any of which could harm our business.

 

We may require additional capital from equity or debt financings to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Our substantial indebtedness following the Acquisition could harm our business and growth prospects.

 

If we fail to comply with extensive healthcare laws and government regulations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

 

Our use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal and state privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm to us, which could, in turn, harm our customer base and our business.

 

Warburg Pincus has significant influence over us, and their interests may conflict with ours and those of our other stockholders in the future.

 

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Unless otherwise indicated, references in these risk factors to our business being harmed will include harm to our business, reputation, brand, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In such event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Combined Company (as defined herein) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, present the combination of the financial information of SOC Telemed and Access Physicians Management Services Organization, LLC (“Access Physicians”) after giving effect to the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Access Physicians by SOC Telemed pursuant to the Membership Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 26, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among SOC Telemed, Access Physicians, HEP AP-B Corp., Health Enterprise Partners III, L.P., the persons listed on Exhibit A thereto (collectively with Health Enterprise Partners III, L.P., the “Sellers”), and AP Seller Rep, LLC, as representative of the Sellers, and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. SOC Telemed and Access Physicians, subsequent to the Acquisition, are referred to herein as the “Combined Company.”

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, because the Acquisition is already reflected in the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of SOC Telemed as of September 30, 2021, incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and the notes thereto, which are incorporated herein by reference:

 

The historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SOC Telemed as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of SOC Telemed as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are incorporated by reference to SOC Telemed’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and to SOC Telemed’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Access Physicians as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is incorporated by reference to SOC Telemed’s Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2021 (as amended on June 11, 2021).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the Combined Company’s results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2020. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future results of operations of the Combined Company. The actual results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited transaction accounting adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

 

On March 26, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), SOC Telemed and Access Physicians completed the Acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), pursuant to which SOC Telemed purchased all of the membership interests of Access Physicians for cash and shares of SOC Telemed.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, SOC Telemed paid the Sellers approximately $91.6 million in cash, financed by the Term Loan Facility and the Subordinated Note, $0.3 million related to a net working capital settlement pursuant to a settlement agreement executed on August 27, 2021, and approximately 13.9 million shares of Class A common stock, of which 0.2 million shares remain subject to certain vesting conditions and will be issued on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. The Purchase Agreement also provides for approximately $40.0 million in potential contingent consideration that may become payable (subject in each case to earlier acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events) consisting of:

 

Additional earn-out consideration of $20.0 million that may be paid to the Sellers if certain revenue and performance levels are achieved by Access Physicians in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and

 

Additional deferred consideration of approximately $20.0 million that may be paid to the Sellers if the foregoing earn-out consideration is earned and subject to the continued service of certain executives of Access Physicians during the two-year period beginning on the Closing Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. In accordance with Release No. 33-10786, the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations reflect transaction accounting adjustments. The historical financial information of SOC Telemed and Access Physicians has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the Acquisition in accordance with GAAP.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company would have been if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company. The actual results of operations of the Combined Company will likely differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors, including access to additional information, changes in value not currently identified, and changes in operating results following the dates of the Acquisition and the pro forma financial information.

 

Note 2 — Acquisition Accounting

 

The Acquisition was completed on March 26, 2021. SOC Telemed has determined it is the accounting acquirer to the Acquisition which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The allocation of the estimated purchase price with respect to the Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 26, 2021, using currently available information. For this purpose, fair value shall be determined in accordance with the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and can involve a high degree of estimation. Further details on acquisition accounting are described in Note 4, Business Combinations, under the heading “Acquisition of Access Physicians in March 2021”, of the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SOC Telemed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers are entitled to an earnout payment in the amount of $20,000 to be paid by SOC Telemed on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin conditions. Such earnout payment was classified as a liability and recognized at its estimated fair value of $3,265 at the Closing Date. This liability was remeasured to its fair value in the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SOC Telemed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and a recognized gain of $3,265 was recognized in the Combined Company’s statement of operations within change in fair value of contingent consideration.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers are entitled to a deferred payment in the amount of $20,000 to be paid by SOC Telemed on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, contingent upon the retention of certain key members of the current Access Physicians’ management team and the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin conditions. This deferred payment was determined to be compensation expense and as such is not considered part of the purchase consideration for accounting purposes. The Company will record the expense in future periods if and once it is deemed probable that it will be earned.

4(b)Elimination of Access Physicians interest expense. Represents the elimination of historical interest expense of Access Physicians following the repayment of notes payable in connection with the Acquisition in the amount of $30 and $176 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

Less: Interest expense recognized by SOC Telemed post-Acquisition  (3)   (5,047)   - 
Total adjustment     $1,859   $8,053 

 

(1)Represents estimated interest expense for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility with a principal amount of $85,000. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 7.47% plus the Applicable Rate. For the purposes of the pro forma statement of operations, the interest expense for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility was estimated using 7.6%. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes accelerated interest expense recognized due to the partial repayment of the Term Loan Facility on June 4, 2021.
(2)Represents amortization of debt issuance costs. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs recognized due to the partial repayment of the Term Loan Facility on June 4, 2021.
(3)Represents interest expense related to the Term Loan Facility recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of SOC Telemed for the period from the Closing Date to September 30, 2021.

 

A 1/8% increase or decrease in the interest rates applicable to the Term Loan Facility would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $81 and $108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was calculated without the impacts of the partial repayment that occurred on June 4, 2021.

 

4(d)Interest expense – related party. Represents the net impact on interest expense related to the Subordinated Note in the amount of $456 and $1,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, determined as follows:

 

   Note   For the nine months ended September 30, 2021   For the year ended December 31, 2020

Interest expense        2,482    1,578 
Less: Interest expense recognized by SOC Telemed post-Acquisition   (3)   (2,026)   - 
Total adjustment       $456   $1,578 

 

(1)Represents estimated interest expense for the Subordinated Note in a principal amount of $13,500. The unpaid balance of the Subordinated Note accrues interest at an escalating rate per annum initially equal to 7.47% plus the Applicable Rate under the Term Loan Facility, increasing to 10.87% plus the Applicable Rate on September 30, 2021, and then an additional 2.00% each year thereafter, and will be added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note on a monthly basis. For the purpose of the pro forma statement of operations, the interest expense under the Subordinated Note was estimated using an interest rate of 7.6% for the first six months and then 11.0% thereafter. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes accelerated interest expense recognized due to the repayment of the Subordinated Note on June 4, 2021.

 

12

 

 

(2)Represents accretion of discount related to the Subordinated Note. The accretion of discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes accelerated discount accretion recognized due to the repayment of the Subordinated Note on June 4, 2021.
(3)Represents interest expense related to the Subordinated Note recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of SOC Telemed for the period from the Closing Date to September 30, 2021.

 

A 1/8% increase or decrease in the interest rates applicable to the Subordinated Note would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $14 and $18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was calculated without the impacts of the repayment that occurred on June 4, 2021.

 

4(e)Tax effect. Represents the tax benefit effect of the Acquisition recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of SOC Telemed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and reflected for pro forma purposes in the results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

4(f)Net loss per share. Reflects an increase in the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of SOC Telemed resulting from the issuance of shares to the Sellers at the Closing.

Pro forma net loss per share is calculated based on pro forma net loss and pro forma weighted-average shares attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, determined as shown in the table above. There is no difference between basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential shares of Class A common stock of SOC Telemed outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

 

4(g)Access Physicians Replacement Awards. Represents the expense recognized related to Profit Interest Units held by Access Physician’s directors and some executive employees that were canceled and settled in cash and/or exchanged for replacement awards. 219,191 shares of replacement awards were issued, of which 175,353 vest over twelve months from the Closing Date. The awards that were settled in cash have a post-acquisition service condition of twelve months from the Closing Date. Exchanges of share-based payment awards in connection with a business combinations were accounted for as modifications in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. See Note 4, Business Combinations, under the heading “Acquisition of Access Physicians in March 2021”, of the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SOC Telemed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, incorporated by reference in this prospectus for further information. The adjustment removes the expense of $1,556 recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of SOC Telemed for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and reflects the full year expense of $2,803 for pro forma purposes in the results for year ended December 31, 2020, given the twelve month post-acquisition service condition associated with the replacement awards.

 

4(h)Prepaid insurance amortization expense. Represents the net impact on amortization expense related to prepaid insurance coverage obtained in connection with the Acquisition in the amount of $55 and $218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The amortization expense adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is net of $109 recognized in the consolidated statement of operations of SOC Telemed for the period from the Closing Date to September 30, 2021.

Selling Stockholders

 

On March 26, 2021, we completed the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, we, among other things, issued 13,753,387 shares of our Class A common stock to the Selling Stockholders at closing, committed to issue an additional 175,353 shares of our Class A common stock on the first anniversary of the closing, and may issue additional shares of our Class A common stock as payment for potential contingent consideration of approximately $40.0 million based on performance, which consideration, if earned, may be paid in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, at our election.

Description of Capital Stock

 

The following is a summary of the rights of our Class A common stock and preferred stock and some of the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (for purposes of this section, the “charter”) and amended and restated by-laws (for purposes of this section, the “by-laws”), and relevant provisions of DGCL. The descriptions herein are qualified in their entirety by our charter and by-laws, copies of which have been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

 

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

 

Our charter authorizes the issuance of shares of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001, consisting of (a) 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and (b) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

As of November 30, 2021, there were 100,893,301 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

Class A Common Stock

 

Voting Power

 

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of Class A common stock possess all voting power for the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

Dividends

 

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

 

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

 

If we are involved in the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our affairs, the holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive all of our remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A common stock held by them, after the rights of our creditors and the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

 

Preemptive or Other Rights

 

The holders of Class A common stock will not have preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Class A common stock.

 

Election of Directors

 

The Board is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year.

 

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by holders of Class A common stock.

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger Transaction, we and SOC Holdings LLC entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, (a) for so long as SOC Holdings LLC holds at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, it has the right to designate up to five (5) directors for election to the Board, and the size of the Board will be set at nine (9) directors; (b) for so long as SOC Holdings LLC holds at least thirty-five percent (35%) but less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, it will have the right to designate up to three (3) directors for election to the Board, and the size of the Board will be set at nine (9) directors; (c) for so long as SOC Holdings LLC holds at least fifteen percent (15%) but less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, it will have the right to designate up to two (2) directors for election to the Board, and the size of the Board will be set at seven (7) directors; and (d) for so long as SOC Holdings LLC holds at least five percent (5%) but less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, it will have the right to designate one (1) director for election to the Board, and the size of the Board will be set at seven (7) directors. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, we will take all necessary and desirable actions within our control such that the size of the Board is set at either seven (7) directors or nine (9) directors (in accordance with the terms above), unless the Board takes authorized action to increase the size of the Board and SOC Holdings LLC approves such action.

 

16

 

 

In connection with the Acquisition, we and Christopher Gallagher, M.D., the Chief Executive Officer of Access Physicians, entered into a Board Nomination Rights Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2021 (the “Board Nomination Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, for so long as Dr. Gallagher beneficially owns at least 75% of the shares of our Class A common stock that he acquired at the closing of the Acquisition and remains employed by us, and subject to compliance with applicable law and our guidelines with respect to the nomination of directors, Dr. Gallagher is entitled to serve as a member of our Board.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Board will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Class A common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Charter and By-laws

 

Provisions of the DGCL and our charter and by-laws could make it more difficult to acquire control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with the Board. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging certain takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value. However, these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of our company that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of our Class A common stock.

 

Pursuant to the charter, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as “Section 203,” regulating corporate takeovers. Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

 

A stockholder who owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);
   
an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or
   
an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.
   
  A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than ten percent (10%) of the corporation’s assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:
   
the corporation’s board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

 

17

 

 

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or
   
on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized at a meeting of the corporation’s stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
   
  In addition, the charter provides for certain other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect:
   
a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;
   
the authorization of “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by the Board without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the Class A common stock;
   
a limitation on the ability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
   
a requirement that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by the Board, the Chairperson of the Board, or our Chief Executive Officer, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;
   
a requirement of advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to the Board, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company;
   
a prohibition on cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
   
a requirement that our directors may be removed only for cause and by a majority vote of the stockholders;
   
a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent;
   
a requirement that vacancies on the Board may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office (subject to limited exceptions), even though less than a quorum, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Board; and
   
a requirement of the approval of the Board or the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding shares of capital stock to amend the by-laws and certain provisions of the charter.

 

Choice of Forum

 

Our charter provides that unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by or other wrongdoing by any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our charter or our by-laws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; except for, as to each of the above clauses, any action as to which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware within ten (10) days following such determination), in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware, as applicable, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any such claims. The charter further provides that such exclusive forum provision does not apply to any suits brought to enforce any duty or liability under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction. In addition, the charter adopts, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Corporate Opportunities

 

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. Our charter provides that we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, certain corporate opportunities that are from time to time presented to certain affiliates of Warburg Pincus, even if the opportunity is one that we or our subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so. Neither Warburg Pincus nor any of its affiliates, directors, principals, officers, employees or other representatives will generally be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director of the Company or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person directly or indirectly engages in such corporate opportunity or otherwise competes with us or our affiliates, unless, in the case of any such person who is a director of the Company, such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such director in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, by becoming a stockholder in the Company, stockholders will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision of our charter.

 

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger Transaction, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act the founder shares, private placement shares and private placement warrants (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) held by the HCMC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and its permitted transferees and the shares received by SOC Holdings LLC in connection with the Merger Transaction, and to provide the Sponsor and SOC Holdings LLC and their permitted transferees with certain other registration rights, including, among other things, customary “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights, with respect to their shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of Class A common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in the Acquisition.

 

In addition, we agreed, pursuant to their respective subscription agreements, to file a registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of Class A common stock purchased by the investors in the private placement that closed concurrently with the Merger Transaction.

Plan of Distribution

 

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

 

The sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Stockholders may sell their shares of Class A common stock by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods the following:

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
     
  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of Class A common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq;
     
  through trading plans entered into by a Selling Stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
     
  short sales;
     
  distribution to employees, members, limited partners or stockholders of the Selling Stockholders;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transaction, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  by pledge to secured debts and other obligations;
     
  delayed delivery arrangements;
     
  to or through underwriters or agents;
     
  in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
     
  in privately negotiated transactions;
     
  in options transactions; and
     
  through a combination of any of the above methods of sale, as described below, or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell any or all of the shares of Class A common stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus, provided the Selling Stockholder meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

 

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A Selling Stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Stockholder or borrowed from any Selling Stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares of Class A common stock must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares of Class A common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Class A common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Certain broker-dealers or agents, and their associates and affiliates, may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates and/or the Selling Stockholders or one or more of its respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify a broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the sale of the shares, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The Selling Stockholders have informed us that, as of the date of this prospectus, none of them have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Class A common stock. If any Selling Stockholder notifies us that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we may be required to file a prospectus supplement pursuant to the applicable rules promulgated under the Securities Act. Certain Selling Stockholders who are entities rather than natural persons may distribute shares to their partners, members, shareholders or other owners in normal course, who may in turn sell the shares in the manner listed above.

 

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Class A common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.

 

We may restrict or suspend offers and sales or other dispositions of the shares under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, at any time from and after the effective date of the registration statement, subject to certain terms and conditions. In the event of such restriction or suspension, the Selling Stockholders will not be able to offer or sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Class A common stock under the registration statement.

 

We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may apply to sales of the shares offered hereby in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Class A common stock will be freely tradeable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
