Our Company

Nobilis Health Corp. (“Nobilis” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 16, 2007 under the name “Northstar Healthcare Inc.” pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act . On December 5, 2014, Northstar Healthcare Inc. changed its name to Nobilis Health Corp. Prior to December 1, 2014, our business was solely the ownership, operation and management of outpatient surgery centers and specialty surgical hospitals (the “Medical Segment”). On December 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Athas Health, LLC. This acquisition added marketing services as a stand-alone business line, which is now a separate reportable business segment (the “Marketing Segment”). In addition to providing services to third parties, our unique direct-to-patient marketing and proprietary technology serves our own healthcare facilities.

Our portfolio of specialty surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and multi-specialty clinics is complemented by our Marketing Segment, which allows us to operate those facilities in many instances with few, if any, physician partners. Our differentiated business strategy provides value to patients, physicians and payors, and enables us to capitalize on recent trends in the healthcare industry, particularly with regard to increased consumerism in the healthcare space. As a result, we believe we are positioned for continued growth.

As of December 31, 2017, there are 33 locations across Texas and Arizona, including specialty surgical hospitals, ASCs and multi-specialty clinics. Additionally, Nobilis partnered with another 34 facilities across the country, and marketed 9 independent brands. We provide care across a variety of specialties in our facilities including, pain management, spine surgery, orthopedic surgery, bariatric surgery, plastic surgery, ear nose and throat (ENT), podiatric surgery, vein and vascular, and other general surgery.

Many of our surgical patients require additional complementary healthcare services and Nobilis has spent the last two years developing a full suite of ancillary services that we offer patients treated in our facilities. To date, Nobilis is able to provide a variety of in-house ancillary services, such as Anesthesia, Surgical Assist, and Intraoperative Neuromonitoring. The addition of the ancillary services has helped us successfully expand our continuum of care, increase facility efficiency, improve our coordination of the various services they require, enhance the quality of our patients’ clinical outcomes as well as their overall experience.

On October 28, 2016 and March 8, 2017, we purchased Arizona Vein and Vascular Center, LLC and its four affiliated surgery centers operating as Arizona Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, LLC and Hamilton Vein Center brand and associated assets, respectively. These acquisitions expanded our specialty mix to include the treatment of venous diseases with little modification to our existing infrastructure of specialty surgical hospitals and ASCs. Our facilities will be able to offer a range of treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, for those patients suffering from venous diseases, which today affect more than 30 million Americans.

In addition to our vein and vascular business acquisitions, on September 13, 2017, we purchased DeRosa Medical, P.C. (“DeRosa”). DeRosa is a primary care practice that specializes in health and wellness, medically supervised weight loss, women’s health, and chronic health condition management. The practice operates three multi-specialty clinics within the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area, specifically in Scottsdale, Chandler, and Glendale. The acquisition of DeRosa allows the Company to expand its continuum of care by providing additional healthcare services at the primary care level.

On November 15, 2017, the Company purchased 50.1% ownership interests in Elite Sinus Spine and Ortho LLC, Elite Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, LLC, Houston Metro Ortho and Spine Surgery Center, LLC and Elite Hospital Management, LLC (collectively the “Management Companies” or collectively, “Elite”) that manage three ASCs and one specialty surgical hospital in Houston, TX. Elite provides healthcare management services to these facilities, which generate 100% in-network revenue to the Nobilis system. This acquisition represents a strategic opportunity to enhance Nobilis’ in-network revenue and adds 76 physician partners to our existing network of surgeons in the Houston market. We will also have the opportunity to leverage best practices from both companies, generate operational efficiencies, further improve our case conversion through a substantial increase in referral-based business and provide the Company additional resources to strengthen Nobilis’ footprint within the Houston market.

On November 15, 2017, Northstar Healthcare Surgery Center – Houston, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“Northstar”), acquired a 50.1% ownership interest in Houston Metro Ortho and Spine Surgery Center LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Elite Hospital Management LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Elite Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Elite Sinus Spine and Ortho LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively, “Elite”) that manage three ASCs and one specialty surgical hospital in Houston, Texas (the “Transaction”). Elite provides healthcare management services to these facilities, which generate 100% in-network revenue to the Nobilis system. This acquisition represents a strategic opportunity to enhance Nobilis’ in-network revenue and adds 76 physician partners to our existing network of surgeons in the Houston market. We will also have the opportunity to leverage best practices from both companies, generate operational efficiencies, further improve our case conversion through a substantial increase in referral-based business and provide the Company additional resources to strengthen Nobilis’ footprint within the Houston market.

Our principal executive offices are located at 11700 Katy Freeway, Suite 300, Houston, Texas. Our telephone number is (713) 355-8614. Our website address is www.nobilishealth.com . Information on our website is not part of this prospectus.

The Offering

This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 2,608,087 Shares of the Company by the selling securityholders, representing (i) 378,788 outstanding Shares, and (ii) up to 2,229,299 Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note.

Such Shares and the Convertible Note were issued pursuant to the Transaction. At the closing, the Company and Northstar paid the sellers approximately $60.1 million, comprised of $53.6 million in cash, $3.5 million in the form of the Convertible Note, $2.5 million in the form of an unfunded escrow and 378,788 Shares to an agent of the sellers.

The Convertible Note bears interest at 6.75% per annum and is payable in three installments over a two year period. The Convertible Note (outstanding principal plus any accrued but unpaid interest, collection and enforcements costs, and any other amounts or charges incurred under thereunder) may be converted into Shares upon the occurrence of both (i) default, and (ii) the election of the note holder. The number of Shares issued will equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the conversion amount by the lessor of (i) the closing bid price of the Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date, or (ii) the volume weighted average price of the common shares on NYSE American in the trailing ten trading days prior to the maturity date. In addition, if, within three business days of the transmittal of the notice of conversion to the Company, the Shares have a closing bid price that is 5% or lower than the conversion price set forth in the notice of conversion, the conversion price shall be the average closing bid price of the Shares during such three-business day period. We have estimated the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Convertible Note based upon the $3.5 million principal amount and a conversion price equal to the volume-weighted average price over the seven trading days ending April 25, 2018, which equals $1.57.

The selling securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that Rule.

The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Shares or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”) provides that a company may:

 

    indemnify an eligible party against all judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or amounts paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding, to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and

 

    after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the “expenses” (which includes costs, charges and expenses (including legal fees) but excludes judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding.

However, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, a company must pay expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party (i) has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and (ii) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, or is substantially successful on the merits, in the outcome of the proceeding. The BCBCA also provides that a company may pay the expenses as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding if the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under the BCBCA, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

For the purpose of the BCBCA, an “eligible party,” in relation to a company, means an individual who:

 

    is or was a director or officer of the company;

 

    is or was a director or officer of another corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the company;

 

    at the request of the company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

 

    and includes, with some exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual.

An “eligible proceeding” under the BCBCA is a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation (i) is or may be joined as a party, or (ii) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. A “proceeding” includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BCBCA prohibits indemnifying an eligible party or paying the expenses of an eligible party if any of the following conditions apply:

 

II-0


Table of Contents
    if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that such agreement was made, the company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

    if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

    if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or the associated corporation, or as the case may be; or

 

    in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

Additionally, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the company must not (i) indemnify the eligible party in respect of the proceeding; or (ii) pay the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.

Whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under the BCBCA, on the application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:

 

    order a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liability incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

 

    order a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

 

    order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by a company;

 

    order a company to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under the courted order indemnity section of the BCBCA; or

 

    make any other order the court considers appropriate.

The BCBCA provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation.

Item 17. Undertakings.

1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining liability to any purchaser:

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

II-2


Table of Contents

(A) For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned registrant according the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
