ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 25, 2018, Myriad Genetics, Inc. (“Myriad”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cinnamon Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Myriad (“Merger Subsidiary”), Counsyl, Inc. (“Counsyl”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, as the representative of the securityholders of Counsyl.

The Merger Agreement provides that Myriad will pay an aggregate purchase price to the securityholders of Counsyl of $375 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment for Counsyl’s working capital and indebtedness and other amounts to be determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as adjusted, the “Merger Consideration”), payable in cash and Myriad’s common stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, employees holding restricted stock units and “in-the-money” stock options and stockholders of Counsyl, in each case, who are “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, will be entitled to elect to receive up to 25 percent of the Purchase Price in Myriad common stock based on the trailing 30 day average share price (the “Election”).

The acquisition is structured as a reverse triangular merger transaction in which the Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Counsyl, with Counsyl surviving the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad (the “Merger”).

Subject to the Election, all shares of capital stock of Counsyl outstanding at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), together with all “in-the-money” stock options held by nonemployees, restricted stock units held by nonemployees, and warrants, will be cancelled and converted into a right to receive a cash portion of the Merger Consideration. Out-of-the-money stock options will be cancelled. Upon the Closing, $5 million will be deposited into an escrow account to fund any post-closing adjustments to the Merger Consideration payable to Myriad based upon differences between (a) the estimated working capital and the actual working capital of Counsyl at Closing, (b) the estimated indebtedness and the actual indebtedness of Counsyl at Closing, (c) the estimated cash and the actual cash of Counsyl at Closing, (d) the estimated transaction expense and the actual transaction expenses of Counsyl at Closing.

Securityholders of Counsyl will be asked to sign and return letters of transmittal, pursuant to which, among other things, they will agree to make certain representations and warranties set forth in the letters of transmittal, provide releases of claims and appoint a securityholders’ agent.

The Merger Agreement provides for customary representations, warranties and covenants by Myriad and Counsyl. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Myriad will secure a representation and warranty insurance policy, which will, except in the case of fraud, serve as Myriad’s sole source of recourse for breaches of representation, warranties, and covenants.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Myriad and Counsyl, including the right by either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not occurred within three months of the signing of the Merger Agreement, subject to a right to 45-day extension if certain antitrust related conditions remain unfulfilled. The Closing is expected to occur during the first quarter of Myriad’s fiscal year 2019, and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval including, among others, antitrust clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Myriad intends to fund the transaction through cash on hand and debt. The acquisition is not subject to a financing contingency. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors of both Myriad and Counsyl, and is conditioned on receiving the requisite stockholder approval of the Counsyl stockholders.

Myriad Genetics Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Counsyl, Inc.

Creates Premier Women’s Health Business Unit in High Growth Genetic Testing Market

SALT LAKE CITY, May 28, 2018Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Counsyl, a pioneer in expanded carrier screening and non-invasive prenatal screening for $375 million through a combination of cash and Myriad common stock. Counsyl has experienced rapid growth since being founded in 2007, and in the last twelve months alone has generated more than $134 million in revenue and performed over 280,000 reproductive genetic tests.

On completion of the transaction, which is expected to close in Myriad’s fiscal first-quarter 2019, Counsyl will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad. A discussion on the details and strategy underlying this acquisition will be provided on a conference call tomorrow, May 29, at 7:30 a.m. EDT.

“By offering Counsyl’s best-in-class reproductive testing products in conjunction with Myriad’s leading hereditary cancer tests, we are well positioned to be the premier women’s health genetic testing company,” said Mark C. Capone, president and CEO of Myriad Genetics. “The Counsyl management team has a remarkable track record of success, and combining our commercial capabilities will lead to a three-fold increase in physician reach for Counsyl’s reproductive tests.”

“We are excited to be joining the global leader in personalized medicine to create the largest women’s health genetic testing company in the world,” said Ramji Srinivasan, CEO of Counsyl. “As our physicians increasingly look for a single source of genetic testing, we can leverage our collective strengths to provide the highest quality genetic tests with a seamless customer experience.”

Benefits of the Transaction

 

   

Entry Into High-Growth Reproductive Testing Market: Myriad estimates that approximately 900,000 carrier screening tests and approximately 1.3 million non-invasive prenatal screening tests will be performed in the United States during its fiscal year 2018. The company believes


 

these markets will grow at a double-digit rate with approximately 3.5 million total reproductive genetic tests performed in the United States in fiscal year 2023, representing a market of more than $1.5 billion.

 

    Comprehensive Women’s Health Product Offering: Counsyl is the market leader in expanded carrier screening with its Foresight™ test which covers more than 175 clinically actionable conditions with high accuracy across ethnicities (>99.99% for most genes on the panel). In the non-invasive prenatal screening market, Counsyl has been rapidly gaining market share with its Prelude™ test which has the lowest inconclusive rate of any product on the market. Offering these tests in conjunction with Myriad’s leading hereditary cancer test provides a single source of genetic tests for the 40,000 physicians in the women’s health market.

 

    Broad Reimbursement Coverage with Potential for Further Expansion: Counsyl reproductive genetic tests are broadly covered by commercial insurance in the United States with the potential for expanding reimbursement for both Foresight and Prelude. In the expanded carrier screening market, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently broadened their professional guidelines and a new category one current procedural terminology (CPT) code was established for a more comprehensive panel of genes. Additionally, in the non-invasive prenatal screening market, reimbursement could benefit from expanded commercial coverage for average-risk women, expanded Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for microdeletions.

 

    Potential for Revenue Synergies by Tripling Reproductive Testing Reach: Currently, Myriad has a women’s health sales force of approximately 225 sales representatives and Counsyl has approximately 80 sales professionals. The combined team will represent the largest women’s health sales force in molecular diagnostics and will provide a three-fold increase in physician reach for reproductive testing.

 

    Potential for Cost Synergies and to Expanded Capabilities throughout the Enterprise: The integration of the two companies will provide opportunities to drive efficiencies and leverage the unique capabilities within each company. For example, Counsyl has developed innovative patient-centric software tools and electronic medical record integration that can be leveraged across the entire portfolio of Myriad products.

Financing

Myriad intends to fund the transaction through cash on hand, an existing revolving credit facility and the issuance of common stock. The transaction was valued at $375 million in cash with shareholders having the right to receive up to 25 percent of that consideration in Myriad common stock based on a trailing 30 day average share price. The number of shares delivered to former Counsyl shareholders will not exceed 3 million shares. At the end of the fiscal third quarter, Myriad had cash and cash equivalents of $209 million and $231 million in availability on its revolving credit facility. The transaction is expected to close in the fiscal first-quarter 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Guideline Support For ECS and NIPS Increasing Driving Expanded Reimbursement Coverage January 2015 March 2015 April 2015 March 2016 May 2016 July 2016 October 2016 April 2017 Any patient may choose cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis as a screening strategy for common aneuploidies regardless of her risk status. Comparably good results can be achieved in general obstetrical populations, making NIPT an alternative to current first-trimester screening protocols. cfDNA screening as a primary test offered to all pregnant women currently is considered an appropriate protocol option. All women should be offered the option of aneuploidy screening or diagnostic testing for fetal genetic disorder, regardless of maternal age. The sensitivity and specificity in the general obstetric population are similar to the levels previously published for the high-risk population. Inform all pregnant women that NIPS is the most sensitive screening option for traditionally screened aneuploidies (i.e. Patau, Edwards, and Down syndromes). Supports prenatal cfDNA screening, also known as NIPT or NIPS, as an option for pregnant patients. For scenarios in which different testing options are acceptable alternatives, obstetrician-gynecologists and other health care providers should determine which tests will be offered as the standard in their practices.
