Other Events

Investment funds affiliated with Cinven Capital Management (V) General Partner Limited informed Medpace Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as follows:

“On June 16, 2017, Medpace Limited Partnership (the “Borrower”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as lenders (the “Lenders”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as calculation agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”, and together with the Credit Agreement, the “Margin Loan Documents”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as secured party (“CS Secured Party”) and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as secured party (together with the CS Secured Party, the “Secured Parties”). Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Borrower pledged all of its shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Secured Parties.

On June 21, 2017 (the “Funding Date”), the Borrower borrowed $150.0 million under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, to secure any borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower pledged 22,999,997 shares (collectively, the “Pledged Shares”) of Common Stock as of the Funding Date. The Pledged Shares represented approximately 56.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of June 21, 2017. All of the Pledged Shares were contributed to the Borrower from Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 1) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 2) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 3) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 4) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 5) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund (No. 6) Limited Partnership, Fifth Cinven Fund FCP-SIF and Fifth Cinven Fund Co-Investment Partnership, which collectively own all of the equity interest in the Borrower.

The Credit Agreement contains customary default provisions. In the event of a default under the Credit Agreement by the Borrower, the Secured Parties may foreclose upon any and all shares of Common Stock pledged to them and may seek recourse against the Borrower.”

The Company is not a party to the Margin Loan Documents and has no obligations thereunder, but has delivered a letter agreement to the Lenders in which it has, among other things, agreed, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules, not to take any action intended to hinder or delay the exercise of any remedies by the Lenders under the Margin Loan Documents.
