Selway signs definitive agreement to enter into business combination with HCCA

Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB: SWCA, SWCAW, SWCAU) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to enter into a business combination with Healthcare Corporation of America, Inc. (HCCA), which is one of the fastest growing PBM's in the market. Upon closing, Selway will change its name to Healthcare Corporation of America.

Management expects the closing to occur by mid-March 2013, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions specified in more detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Selway.

Selway does not require shareholder approval to close the transaction. The combined company plans to conduct a post-closing tender offer so its public shareholders have the opportunity to convert their shares and participate in the transaction. The combined company will file the necessary documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission within thirty days after the closing of the business combination.

Business Overview

Healthcare Corporation of America is a rapidly growing pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM. Its mission is to reduce prescription drug costs for clients while improving the quality of drug care. It administers prescription drug benefits programs for employers who contract with it in order to provide this component of healthcare benefits to their employees. A growing customer base includes commercial clients of various sizes and industries, business associations and trade groups, local government entities, labor unions, charitable and non-profit organizations, and third-party administrators of self-insured benefit plans. The business model is firmly based on price transparency and proactive benefit cost management. The company operates in the marketplace under the name of its subsidiary, Prescription Corporation of America, or PCA.

HCCA has its headquarters in Denville, New Jersey.

HCCA has experienced rapid growth since operating under its current business model. In its first year in the market, 2010, the company booked approximately $358,469 of revenue. In 2011, it reached $28.2 million of revenue. Pending results of its audit, the company is expected to have approximately $38.4 million of revenue in 2012.

Selway's management expects significant revenue growth of the combined company to continue in 2013, with revenue expected to be at least $80 million. "We told our investors that we would find a fast growing company to merge with. This was not about finding an acquisition, but rather about finding a growth story in a large market. We have found that company in HCCA," said Yaron Eitan, the President and CEO of Selway.

The Transaction

The current owners of HCCA will receive the following consideration:

Consideration at Closing

  • 5,200,000 common shares of Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation.
  • Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $10 million will be issued by Selway, with $7.5 million going to HCCA shareholders and $2.5 million going to certain members of the HCCA management team. The notes do not bear interest and are to be repaid from 25% of the combined company's free cash flow above $2 million.

HCCA stockholders will also be eligible for earn-out payments of up to 2,800,000 Selway common shares in accordance with the following: (i) 1,400,000 shares to be awarded if the combined company achieves consolidated gross revenue of $150,000,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014; and (ii) 1,400,000 shares to be awarded if the combined company achieves consolidated gross revenue of $300,000,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015.

Should the combined company be sold for a price per share of $15 or greater prior to June 30, 2015, then all earn-out shares shall vest.

Sponsor's Warrants

Selway Capital Holdings, LLC is the sponsor of Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation. In conjunction with the IPO of Selway, the sponsor acquired 2,333,333 warrants at a price of $0.75 per warrant. These warrants are identical to those held by public investors in the IPO, who received one redeemable share and one detachable warrant.

In conjunction with the closing, the sponsor has agreed to exchange 1,333,333 warrants, for which it paid $1 million, for 100,000 common shares of Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation. Additionally, it has agreed to amend the terms of the remaining 1,000,000 warrants so that the exercise price is $10 and not $7.50, and so that they will be exercisable only for cash and so that the sponsor must exercise them if the share price of the combined company is $12 or more for a thirty day period.

The proceeds from the cash exercise will be paid as follows: 75% to the selling shareholders and 25% to certain members of the management team.
