Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 28, 2011, Party A, which had previously submitted to Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (the “Company”) a non-binding offer letter (as described in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2011), notified the Company that it no longer intended to make a definitive acquisition proposal to acquire the Company. As a result, no other Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 12, 2011, by and among the Company, Chiron Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and Chiron Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”)) is currently outstanding. The Company therefore anticipates consummating the merger with Parent and Merger Sub at the previously announced acquisition price of $68.50 per share, pending shareholder approval, regulatory approval and other conditions to closing described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed September 26, 2011.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This filing may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the proposed acquisition of the Company by investment funds advised by Apax Partners, together with controlled affiliates of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board. The Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC on September 26, 2011 related to the merger (the “Merger”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 12, 2011, by and among the Company, Chiron Holdings, Inc. and Chiron Merger Sub, Inc. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THOSE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION. The definitive proxy statement was mailed to shareholders of the Company beginning on September 27, 2011. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement, and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Free copies of the proxy statement, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC may also be obtained from the Company by directing a request to Kinetic Concepts, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 8023 Vantage Drive, San Antonio, TX 78230, or by calling 210-255-6157.

Participants in Solicitation

The Company and its directors, executive officers and other members of its management and employees may be deemed to be soliciting proxies from the Company’s shareholders in favor of the proposed Merger. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2011 and definitive proxy statement relating to its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the SEC on April 15, 2011. Shareholders may obtain additional information regarding the interests of the Company and its directors and executive officers in the proposed acquisition, which may be different than those of the Company’s shareholders generally, by reading the proxy statement related to the Merger and other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This filing contains forward-looking statements, which may be identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by them. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and others following announcement of the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to satisfy the conditions to the Merger, including obtaining the approval of at least two-thirds of the Company’s shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals; (4) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the Merger; (5) the ability to recognize the benefits of the Merger; (6) legislative, regulatory and economic developments; and (7) other factors described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of this filing are beyond the Company’s and the Apax consortium’s ability to control or predict. The Company can give no assurance that the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company is not responsible for updating the information contained in this filing beyond the published date, or for changes made to this filing by wire services or Internet service providers.
