INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended, the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (1) R1 RCM Inc., a Delaware corporation (“R1” or the “Company”), and the issuer of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (2) Raven Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”); (3) Project Raven Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and, together with Parent, the “Buyers”); (4) Raven TopCo, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Holdings”); (5) Raven TopCo GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings GP”); (6) TCP-ASC ASCHI Series LLLP, a Delaware series limited liability limited partnership (“TA”); (7) TCP-ASC GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCP-ASC GP”); (8) TI IV ACHI Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TowerBrook Aggregator”); (9) TI IV ACHI Holdings GP, LLC (“TowerBrook Aggregator GP”); (10) TowerBrook Investors Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (“TowerBrook”); (11) Raven Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Intermediate Holdings”); (12) Raven Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent Holdings”); (13) Ascension Health Alliance, a Missouri not-for-profit corporation (“Ascension”); (14) Neal Moszkowski; and (15) Joseph Flanagan.

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 31, 2024 (including all exhibits and documents attached thereto, and as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, collectively, the “Transactions”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (other than Common Stock held by (1) the Company, the Buyers, Holdings, any subsidiary of Holdings that is wholly owned prior to the closing of the Merger (each, a “Holdings Subsidiary”) (including any Rollover Shares (as defined below)) or TA (each, an “Owned Company Share”), (2) any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or of Parent (other than Merger Sub) (each, a “Subsidiary Owned Share”) and (3) stockholders who have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”)) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $14.30, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, each Owned Company Share (including the Rollover Shares, if any) will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor, and each Subsidiary Owned Share will be converted into such number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the surviving corporation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Surviving Corporation”), or fraction thereof, such that the ownership percentage of any subsidiary in the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time will equal the ownership percentage of such subsidiary in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time. Upon the Closing, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on any stock exchange or quotation system, including the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and the Company’s stockholders (other than holders of the Rollover Shares) will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), one or more of the Company’s stockholders (each, a “Rollover Stockholder”) may enter into a rollover agreement with Holdings or a Holdings Subsidiary (a “Rollover Agreement”) on terms mutually agreeable among Parent and the parties to such agreement. Pursuant to the terms of such Rollover Agreement, among other things, each such Rollover Stockholder will, immediately prior to the Closing, transfer or contribute a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Rollover Shares”) to Holdings or such Holdings Subsidiary in exchange for equity interests of Holdings or such Holdings Subsidiary having an equivalent value, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Rollover Agreement. The Rollover Stockholders will not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Rollover Shares.

---

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, on July 31, 2024, TA (in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company) executed a voting agreement in favor of the Company (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which TA agreed, among other things, to (i) vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (ii) vote all of its shares of Common Stock against any proposal made in opposition to the Merger Agreement or the Merger.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of independent and disinterested members of the Board to, among other things, review, evaluate and negotiate the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. The Special Committee evaluated the Transactions, in consultation with its own independent legal and financial advisors and considered various material factors. After careful consideration, the Special Committee, pursuant to resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Special Committee held on July 31, 2024, unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s Unaffiliated Stockholders (as defined below), (ii) recommended to the Board that it approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (iii) recommended that the Unaffiliated Stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders and (iv) recommended to the Board that it approve the treatment of each company equity award in the manner described in the Merger Agreement. “Unaffiliated Stockholders” means the holders of Common Stock, excluding those shares of Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of (i) Parent and the Rollover Stockholders, their respective affiliates and associates (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) and portfolio companies majority owned by such investment fund affiliates and (ii) any person that the Company has determined to be an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act.

At a meeting with all members of the Board present, the Board, in accordance with the recommendation of the Special Committee as described above (with all directors voting in favor and no director abstaining from the vote, although it was noted that, for purposes of the approval of the transaction in accordance with the contractual provisions of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2022, between the Company, TA and the other parties thereto, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2024, directors nominated to the Board by TA were not deemed to vote), (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations under the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and (iii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon (1) a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (the “Merger Proposal”) and (2) an advisory and non-binding proposal to approve certain compensation arrangements for the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger (the “Merger-Related Compensation Proposal”).

 

2

---

Approval of the Merger Proposal is required for the completion of the Merger and the Transactions. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Proposal. The approval of the advisory and non-binding Merger-Related Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all shares of Common Stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter. With respect to the advisory and non-binding Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, abstentions are not counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval and, accordingly, have no effect on the outcome of voting on such proposal. The approval of the advisory and non-binding Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing an Amendment No. 2 to its preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act with the SEC relating to the Special Meeting. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A.

The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.

While each of the Filing Persons acknowledges that the Merger is a “going private” transaction for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, the filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any Filing Person, or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is “controlled” by any of the Filing Persons and/or their respective affiliates.
