Item 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
3.875% Senior Notes due 2030
 
On November 17, 2020 (the “Settlement Date”), Molina Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the private offering of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.875% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of the Settlement Date, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in the form attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Indenture”).
 
The following is a brief description of the terms of the Notes and the Indenture.
 
Interest and Maturity
 
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 3.875% per year.  Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2021. Interest accrues from the Settlement Date.  The Notes will mature on November 15, 2030.
 
Ranking
 
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of the Company. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured debt of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.  In addition, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Future Guarantors
 
Each of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantees any of the Company’s indebtedness under its credit agreement in the future will be required to guarantee the Notes on a pari passu basis.  The Notes will not initially be guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Optional Redemption
 
The Notes are redeemable on and after August 17, 2030 at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.  In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes prior to August 17, 2030 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus an applicable “make-whole premium”.
 
Repurchase at the Option of the Holders upon a Change of Control
 
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption” above, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price calculated as provided in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
 


Covenants
 
The Indenture governing the Notes limits the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
 

create certain liens;
 

enter into sale and leaseback transactions (except as provided in the Indenture);
 

issue, assume or guarantee indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a lien on certain of the Company’s principal property (or on any shares of capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries that own such principal property) without securing the notes on a pari passu basis; and
 

consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, convey or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ properties and assets, taken as a whole, to another person.
 
No Registration Rights
 
The Company will not be required to, nor does it intend to, register the Notes for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
 
Events of Default
 
The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including cross acceleration to certain other indebtedness of the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the form of Notes filed as Exhibits 4.1, and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
