The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will be funded in connection with the closing of the CarePoint Acquisition. BioScrip also announced today that it has received and accepted for purchase approximately $126.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Notes that were validly tendered by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2013 (the "Expiration Date"), which was the deadline for holders to submit tenders in order to receive the consent payment in connection with the Consent Solicitation as well as the withdrawal deadline and the expiration date of the Offer. BioScrip has received consents from holders of approximately 56.08% of the Notes as of the Expiration Date. The consents received from the holders of Notes are sufficient to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes as set forth in BioScrip's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 3, 2013 and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, pursuant to which the Offer was made. The proposed amendments eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain default provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes. On July 31, 2013, BioScrip entered into a supplemental indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee for the Notes, giving effect to the proposed amendments to the indenture. The supplemental indenture is binding on the holders of Notes not purchased in the Offer. BioScrip previously announced on July 19, 2013 that it has irrevocably called for redemption on August 19, 2013 (the "Redemption Date") all Notes that remain outstanding on the Redemption Date after completion of the Offer, at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notices of redemption were delivered on behalf of BioScrip by the trustee to the registered holders of such Notes. On July 31, 2013, BioScrip satisfied and discharged its obligations under the indenture relating to the Notes, by depositing with the trustee the sum of $107,773,870.75 (the "Discharge Amount"). BioScrip instructed the trustee to hold the Discharge Amount as trust moneys pursuant to the indenture and to pay all outstanding Notes at the redemption price of 105.125% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
