Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 7, 2011, AmSurg Corp., a Tennessee corporation (AmSurg), and AmSurg Merger
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AmSurg (Merger Sub),
entered into a Merger Agreement (the Merger Agreement) with National Surgical Care, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (NSC), and Brazos GP Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (Brazos) solely in its capacity as the representative of the stakeholders of NSC.
On August 23, 2011, AmSurg, NSC, AmSurg Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of AmSurg (Holdings), Merger Sub and Brazos entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement) for the purposes of amending and
restating the Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Holdings will acquire substantially all the
assets of, and assume substantially all of the liabilities of NSC, including the membership
interests of NSC subsidiaries that serve as the general partners or managing members of 17 surgery
centers affiliated with NSC (the Acquisition). The parties expect the Acquisition to close on or about September 1, 2011.
The aggregate consideration payable pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement will be
$135,000,000 (the Consideration), subject to adjustment based on, among other things, the
levels of working capital of NSC at closing, and up to an additional $7,500,000 if the
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the purchased surgery centers
exceed specified targets for 2012. Up to $500,000 of the Consideration will be deposited into an
escrow account to fund any post-closing payments based upon differences between the estimated
working capital and the actual working capital of NSC at closing, and $3,000,000 of the
Consideration will be deposited into an escrow account to fund any indemnification claims made by
Holdings pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Consideration will be paid in cash.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains various representations and warranties and covenants by
the parties thereto and related indemnification obligations, and may be terminated under certain
circumstances. AmSurg and NSC have obtained the necessary consents and approvals under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and from other third parties,
including governmental regulatory authorities. Holdings may sell one NSC surgery center acquired in
the Acquisition to the physician partners at the center following the
closing of the Acquisition in order to comply with a change-in-control provision in the existing partnership
agreement for the center.
The foregoing summary of the Acquisition and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 incorporated herein by reference.
