Other Events

As previously disclosed, on January 9, 2022, R1 RCM Inc. (the “Company”), Project Roadrunner Parent Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“NewR1”), Project Roadrunner Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NewR1, Coyco 1, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Coyco 2, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, entered into a Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Transaction Agreement”).

On April 18, 2022, May 5, 2022 and May 16, 2022 the Company received letters (the “Shareholder Letters”) from purported shareholders of the Company claiming certain allegedly material omissions in the Company’s proxy statement, originally publicly filed on April 7, 2022 and effective as of April 22, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Transactions”).

While the Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law, in order to avoid cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Transactions, the Company has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures set forth below under the heading “Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement in Connection with the Shareholder Letters” (the “Shareholder Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Shareholder Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company specifically denies all allegations in the Shareholder Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required with respect to the matters named in the Shareholder Letters. The Company believes the Shareholder Letters are without merit.

Separately, the Company is making the supplemental disclosures to the Proxy Statement set forth below under the heading “Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement in Connection with Transaction Bonuses.” The purpose of the supplement is to update certain disclosures made in the Proxy Statement regarding potential transaction bonuses payable to certain of the Company’s executive officers in connection with the closing of the Transactions.

The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement. Underlined text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Proxy Statement.

Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement in Connection with the Shareholder Letters

The following disclosure supplements the Proxy Statement and should be added after the fourth paragraph on page 68 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background of the Transactions.”

On September 13, 2021, in connection with preliminary discussions regarding the Transactions, the Company entered into a customary non-disclosure agreement with Revint Intermediate II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The non-disclosure agreement did not contain a “don’t ask, don’t waive” provision. The Company did not enter into any other non-disclosure agreements in connection with the Transactions.

The following disclosure replaces the second paragraph on page 91 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Summary of Centerview Financial Analysis.”

Based on these analyses, Centerview calculated a range of approximate implied equity values for Cloudmed and R1 (including on an implied per share basis for R1 calculated on a fully diluted basis based upon approximately 322.9 million shares of R1 common stock outstanding), in each case after adjusting for such party’s net debt (of $939 million in the case of Cloudmed, as set forth in the Cloudmed Internal Data and $651 million in the case of R1, as set forth in the R1 Internal Data), minority interest and equity method investments, as applicable (without consideration of any potential synergies).

The following disclosure replaces the tables on page 96 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Unaudited Financial Information.”
