The 11.75 percent senior secured notes will come due in 2015. The issue price is 97.266 percent of the principal amount, or about $194.5 million.

 

Amicas, the maker of medical imaging software, initially declined Merge Healthcare's offer in favor of private-equity firm Thoma Bravo LLC, which had offered $5.35 per share. However, it later gave its support to Merge, calling the company's offer of $6.05 per share superior.

 

The deal is expected to close by April 28.
