Insight Health Services Completes Restructuring; FocalPoint advises Ad Hoc Committee of Floating Rate Noteholders

Insight Health Services Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Insight” or the “Company”) announced that it has recently emerged from its Chapter 11 restructuring. As part of its successful pre-arranged restructuring, Insight has eliminated nearly $300 million of long-term debt, as the claims of the Senior Secured Noteholders were paid by the issuance of 100% of the new common stock of the reorganized company. Affiliates of Black Diamond Capital Management, LLC (“Black Diamond ”) are the new majority equity owners of the Company. FocalPoint Securities, LLC (“FocalPoint”) served as the financial advisor to the Ad Hoc Committee of Floating Rate Noteholders while Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel.

Regarding the transaction, Alex Stevenson, Managing Director of FocalPoint said “Insight has successfully implemented a financial restructuring, significantly strengthening its balance sheet. We were excited to be able to bring our extensive financial restructuring and imaging industry expertise together in advising Black Diamond and the Ad Hoc Committee as part of this successful transaction.”

Kip Hallman, Insight’s president and CEO, commented upon the restructuring, “This is an exciting day for Insight as we emerge from our restructuring with essentially no debt, the strongest balance sheet in our business, and a great opportunity to get back to growing our business. We set out to complete our restructuring without disruption to our patients, employees and the hospitals and physicians we serve, and we were able to achieve this goal through the dedicated hard work of all the outstanding members of our team. We are all excited and energized to have the opportunity to bring our Patients First care and exceptional service to even more people in the future. We are also looking forward to working with our new majority equity owners, affiliates of Black Diamond, who share our enthusiasm for the opportunities ahead.”
