Item 1.01.             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 31, 2014, BioTelemetry, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary CardioNet, LLC (“CardioNet”), acquired Mednet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., Heartcare Corporation of America, Inc., Universal Medical, Inc., and Universal Medical Laboratory, Inc. (together, the “Mednet entities”) from Frank Movizzo (“Seller”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement among CardioNet, the Mednet entities and Mr. Movizzo (the “Purchase Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CardioNet purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of the Mednet entities from the Seller for consideration of $5.5 million in cash and 96,649 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In addition, as a result of the acquisition, the Company, through CardioNet, assumed outstanding secured debt of the Mednet entities in the aggregate amount of approximately $10 million, including interest.  The notes evidencing the debt are secured by all the assets of the Mednet entities, bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.25% to 5.50% per annum, and have maturity dates ranging from July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2016.  The loan agreement governing the notes contains customary provisions regarding events of default.  The Company is in discussion with third party lenders to refinance this debt.

The Purchase Agreement includes a five-year commitment of the Seller not to compete with the business of the Mednet entities and not to solicit employees, customers or suppliers of the Mednet entities.  The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, post-closing covenants and mutual indemnification obligations for, among other things, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty and any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant.

The Purchase Agreement was entered into following the entry of a consent judgment in connection with the Company’s patent infringement action originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in May 2012 against the Mednet entities and other companies.  The consent judgment declared that the Mednet entities infringed five patents owned by the Company and its subsidiary, Braemar Manufacturing, LLC, and that all five patents are valid.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.  The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the acquisition of the Mednet entities is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement.

Item 2.03.                                        Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure provided in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
