Introductory Note
As previously disclosed, on August 20, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), ModivCare Inc. (“ModivCare” or the “Company”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors” or the “Reorganized Debtors”) commenced voluntary proceedings under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), captioned In re ModivCare Inc., et al., Case No. 25-90309 (ARP) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). On December 15, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Confirming Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of ModivCare Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates and (II) Denying Motions of Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Leave, Derivative Standing, and Authority to Commence and Prosecute Certain Causes of Action on Behalf of Debtors’ Estates (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of ModivCare Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates, dated December 5, 2025 (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented in accordance with its terms, the “Plan”).
The Plan became effective on December 29, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), at which time the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. The following items summarize certain material terms of the Plan and related transactions. The summaries below do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
On the Effective Date, ModivCare consummated a restructuring pursuant to the Plan (including the Restructuring Transaction Steps Memorandum) and that certain purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ModivCare Buyer, LLC (the “Buyer”). As contemplated by the Plan and the Purchase Agreement, ModivCare transferred substantially all of its assets to the Buyer in exchange for the Restructuring Consideration (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Exit Term Loans (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the loans under the Super Senior Exit Term Loan Credit Facility as defined herein) and the Buyer’s assumption of certain liabilities of ModivCare. As part of these transactions and pursuant to the Plan, all previously issued and outstanding equity interests in ModivCare were canceled, released and extinguished for no consideration, and certain Plan Securities consisting of new equity interests and warrants of ModivCare Topco, LLC, the Buyer’s ultimate parent entity, were distributed to creditors and other parties entitled to distributions under the Plan. As a result of these actions, a change in control of ModivCare occurred, and ownership of the reorganized enterprise is now held by recipients of such Plan Securities.
The Company intends to terminate the registration of its securities and its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and continue as a private company.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Exit Facilities
On the Effective Date, certain affiliates of the Company acquired by the Buyer on the Effective Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into certain exit financing arrangements contemplated by the Plan with the Buyer as borrower, ModivCare Intermediate, LLC (“ModivCare Intermediate”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association as administrative and collateral agent (the “Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement”) consisting of a new money super senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Super Senior Exit Term Loan Credit Facility”) and a second-out senior secured term loan facility consisting of $300,000,000 in takeback term loans (the “Takeback Term Loan Credit Facility” and, together with the Super Senior Exit Term Loan Credit Facility, the “Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities” and the documents pertaining thereto, the “Exit Facilities Documents”). The obligations of the Buyer under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities are guaranteed by ModivCare Intermediate and the Buyer’s material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions.
Under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities, interest accrues at Term SOFR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus the Applicable Rate. For the Super Senior Exit Term Loan Credit Facility, the Applicable Rate steps up annually from 4.25% to 7.25% for Benchmark Loans (and 3.25% to 6.25% for ABR Loans), with interest payable in cash on scheduled Interest Payment Dates. For the Takeback Term Loan Credit Facility, the Applicable Rate is 5.00% for Benchmark Loans (and 4.00% for ABR Loans) with interest payable on scheduled Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Takeback Term Loan Credit Facility may be PIK up to 350 bps of the Applicable Rate (or, upon a Full PIK Trigger Event tied to specified liquidity thresholds, up to 100%). The Super Senior Exit Term Loan Credit Facility was issued with 2.50% OID, and repayment of the Super Senior Term Loans on and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date is subject to an Applicable Premium, stepping up annually from 1% to 3%. Each Exit Term Loan Credit Facility amortizes at 0.25% of aggregate principal per quarter, and each Exit Term Loan Credit Facility matures in December 2030.
The Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities provide, among other things, working capital liquidity and fund plan distributions and other payments in accordance with the Plan. The Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities are secured by liens on and security interests in substantially all assets of the applicable Reorganized Debtors, subject to customary exceptions, with the priority set forth in the Exit Facilities Documents. The Exit Facilities Documents contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default for financings of this type.
The foregoing description of the Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities and the Exit Facilities Documents does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement, the form of which is provided as Exhibit K to the Fifth Plan Supplement to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of ModivCare Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates, which is filed as Exhibit 2.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used in the foregoing description of the Exit Term Loan Credit Facilities without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Exit Facilities Documents as applicable.

The Purchase Agreement otherwise contains customary covenants, conditions and remedies and remains subject to the terms of the Plan.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The material terms of the DIP Facility were previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 21, 2025, and the material terms of the Prepetition Credit Facilities were previously described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 10, 2025, March 11, 2025, March 14, 2025 and April 3, 2025, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On December 15, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On December 29, 2025, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases.
