M*Modal and One Equity Partners Announce Successful Tender Offer to Acquire M*Modal

FRANKLIN, Tenn. and NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--M*Modal (MModal Inc.) (NASDAQ/GS: MODL) and One Equity Partners (“OEP”), the private investment arm of JP Morgan Chase & Co., today announced that in connection with the previously announced merger agreement, Legend Acquisition Sub, Inc.’s (an affiliate of OEP) tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of M*Modal for $14.00 per share, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2012. All shares that were validly tendered into the offer and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for payment and paid promptly in accordance with the terms of the offer.

The depositary for the tender offer has advised that, as of the offer’s expiration, 46,488,790 shares of common stock of M*Modal had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, which represent approximately 79% of the outstanding shares of M*Modal on a fully diluted basis.

Legend Acquisition Sub, Inc. intends to promptly move forward with a “short-form” merger under Delaware law after exercising its top-up option under the merger agreement and M*Modal will become a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Legend Parent, Inc. (an affiliate of OEP). The merger is expected to be completed on or about August 17, 2012. As a result of the merger, any shares of M*Modal common stock not previously tendered will be cancelled and shall cease to exist and (except for shares held by (i) M*Modal as treasury stock, (ii) Legend Parent, Inc. or Legend Acquisition Sub, Inc. or (iii) any stockholder of M*Modal who is entitled to and properly exercises appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $14.00 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, M*Modal’s common stock will cease to be traded on The NASDAQ Global Market.
