Introductory Note: Cardinal Health, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this current report on Form 8-K/A (this “Form 8-K/A”) to: (1) report under Item 2.01 the completion of the sale of its Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services segment, other than the Martindale and Beckloff businesses (the segment, excluding the Martindale and Beckloff businesses, the “PTS Business”); and (2) amend its Form 8-K dated November 29, 2006 to provide the cost estimates required by paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K with respect to such sale.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On April 10, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the PTS Business to Phoenix Charter LLC (“Phoenix”), an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Company and Phoenix, dated as of January 25, 2007 and as amended as of March 9, 2007 and as of April 10, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”). At the closing of the sale, the Company received approximately $3.2 billion in cash from Phoenix, which was the purchase price of approximately $3.3 billion as adjusted pursuant to certain provisions in the Purchase Agreement for the working capital, cash, indebtedness and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the PTS Business.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Agreement, which are attached to this Form 8-K/A as Exhibits 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03, respectively. The Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Phoenix or their respective businesses or operations. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Company and Phoenix to each other in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company, on the one hand, and Phoenix, on the other hand, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company or Phoenix or their respective businesses or operations.

(b) The Company’s estimate of the total costs before taxes for each major type of cost to be incurred in connection with the sale of the PTS Business is as follows:

 

Transaction costs

   $ 22 million

Employee-related costs

   $ 43 million

Transition services agreement credit

   $ 12 million

Other costs (including contract termination costs)

   $ 6 million

(c) The Company’s estimate of the total costs before taxes to be incurred in connection with the sale of the PTS Business is approximately $83 million.

(d) The Company’s estimate of the total costs before taxes that will result in future cash expenditures in connection with the sale of the PTS Business is approximately $62 million.
