Modivcare Enters into Comprehensive Restructuring Agreement to Strengthen its Future, Reduce Debt and Inject Capital
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modivcare Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Modivcare') (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-enabled healthcare services company providing a platform of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving health outcomes, today announced that it has taken necessary and decisive action intended to strengthen its financial foundation while continuing to provide access to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes for clients and members nationwide. Modivcare has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to implement a comprehensive restructuring transaction with the support of a supermajority of its key stakeholders. Through this process, Modivcare intends to build a stronger, sustainable organization, positioned for growth and well-equipped to meet the critical needs of members across its non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services and remote patient monitoring service lines. 'Modivcare sits at the center of the preventive healthcare ecosystem,' said Heath Sampson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Modivcare. 'This recapitalization strengthens our balance sheet and allows Modivcare to accelerate our investment in innovation by combining technology and data with high-touch member engagement. As the connector to care, our seamlessly connected platform improves access, quality and cost for payors, providers and facilities, while positioning us to lead the future of coordinated care.' More than 90% of First Lien Lenders and more than 70% of Second Lien Lenders have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement ('RSA') with the Company. Those lenders have committed to support the Company throughout this process and have agreed to provide $100 million in 'debtor-in-possession' ('DIP') financing to finance the restructuring process and to support ongoing operations during this expedited bankruptcy process. Upon the closing of the DIP loan, Modivcare will have liquidity in excess of $100 million. The restructuring will reduce the Company's total outstanding funded debt obligations by approximately $1.1 billion (which is more than 85% of its outstanding funded debt obligations) and will meaningfully reduce the Company's annual cash interest and transition ownership to a group of seasoned and well-funded investors who are committed to Modivcare's success. All of Modivcare's service lines will continue to operate in the ordinary course, and we expect no interruption or change in access to care and a continued focus on operational excellence. Modivcare intends to close this transaction quickly by exiting the restructuring process early in the fourth quarter of 2025. Modivcare remains committed to providing excellent service to clients and their members. The Company has filed customary motions that, once approved, will allow Modivcare to meet obligations to clients and critical vendors, including transportation providers, and pay employee wages and benefits as usual.

Tiger Woods Takes On New Role For PGA Tour Ahead Of Tour Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The culmination of the 2025 PGA Tour season is upon us, as the world's best golfers descend upon East Lake for the Tour Championship. On the eve of the tournament teeing off, the PGA Tour's newly crowned CEO Brian Rolapp met with the media, discussing a wide variety of topics including a new role for Tiger Woods. Woods will serve as chairman of a new committee that will look to improve the competitiveness of the Tour. The committee will consist of nine members, including six players and three business advisors. The other players include Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell. "The PGA TOUR is certainly fortunate to benefit from his experience and his time and his dedication. That will be important to this effort, and I'm personally grateful for Tiger for offering to take this on," Rolapp said on Wednesday.

DALLAS, TEXAS - JULY 22: Tiger Woods walks the course during the second round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club on July 22, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by) MoreThe business advisors are names well known throughout the sports world. John Henry, principal of Fenway Sports Group and enterprise board member, and Theo Epstein, are two of the members. Epstein famously helped lead the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years in 2004. A little over a decade later, he helped the Chicago Cubs break a 108-year World Series drought as their president of baseball operations. "The purpose of this committee is pretty simple," Rolapp said. "We're going to design the best professional golf competitive model in the world for the benefit of PGA Tour fans, players and their partners. It is aimed at a holistic re-look of how we compete on the Tour. That is inclusive of regular season, postseason and offseason. "We're going to focus on the evolution of our competitive model and the corresponding media products and sponsorship elements and model of the entire sport. The goal is not incremental change. The goal is significant change." The golf world has been in turmoil since the emergence of LIV Golf. The Saudi-funded golf league has peeled some of the best players from the PGA Tour but has yet to make much headway with golf fans and media coverage. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour has thrived. Television ratings are up, new tournament sponsors have joined, and with Scottie Scheffler playing like prime Tiger Woods, the ceiling appears to be limitless.

Tiger Woods to lead PGA Tour committee that includes John Henry and Theo Epstein
Woods will lead five players from the board — Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy, and Keith Mitchell — along with three from the business side that will include Fenway Sports Group owner (and owner of the Globe) John Henry, Fenway Sports group senior adviser and part-owner Theo Epstein, and board chairman Joe Gorder. Henry leads the Strategic Sports Group that invested $1.5 billion — with the potential to double that — into the tour in a minority investment announced 18 months ago. Advertisement Rolapp didn't have details on several issues he faces as he takes over for Commissioner Jay Monahan, including the future of a sport that has been splintered by Saudi money that created the rival LIV Golf League and lured away a number of top players. The PGA Tour's negotiations with the Public Investment Fund have stalled, and Rolapp did not make that sound as if it were a top priority when asked about the fans' desire to see all the best players together more often. Advertisement 'I'm going to focus on what I can control,' Rolapp said. 'I would offer to you that the best collection of golfers in the world are on the PGA Tour. I think there's a bunch of metrics that demonstrate that, from rankings to viewership to whatever you want to pick. I'm going to lean into that and strengthen that. 'I will also say that to the extent we can do anything that's going to further strengthen the PGA Tour, we'll do that,' he said. 'And I'm interested in exploring whatever strengthens the PGA Tour.' Woods, who has played only 10 times on the PGA Tour since his February 2021 car crash and has been out all of this year with a ruptured Achilles' tendon, already serves on the PGA Tour board without a term limit. Rolapp is not trying to reinvent a sport that held its first championship in 1860. He said among his early observations, after two decades at the NFL, was the strength and momentum of the PGA Tour. 'My key takeaway when you boil all this down is that the strength of the PGA Tour is strong, but there's much more we need to do, much more we need to change for the benefit of fans, players, and our partners,' he said. He said the committee would be guided by parity (he conceded golf already has that), scarcity, and simplicity. The tour released a 2026 schedule on Tuesday that adds another $20 million signature event, this one to Trump National Doral, as part of a 35-event schedule from January through August. Rolapp said the simplicity was mostly about connecting the regular season to the postseason. Advertisement He referred to the committee's work as a 'holistic relook of how we compete on the tour' during the regular season, postseason and offseason. 'The goal is not incremental change,' he said. 'The goal is significant change.' He did not set a timetable for any of it. The Tour Championship ends this week at East Lake for the top 30 players. The tour has eliminated the built-in advantage for top seeds so that everyone starts from scratch. Rolapp said he had a lot of ideas on how to the use the Strategic Sports Group money but none he was ready to share. But he said the involvement of SSG was a big reason he took the job. 'Not only does it provide necessary capital as we work through this competitive model and improved commercial model, I also think it also brings learnings from other sports, which I think is beneficial ... to grow the PGA Tour. 'I think outside perspective is always a very good thing, as long as it's applied in the right way. I think SSG has brought that and has been helpful.'
