On March 3, 2011, Rural/Metro Corporation’s administrative office in Louisville, Kentucky was searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of the Kentucky Attorney General’s office, the Office of Inspector General, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The affidavit and search warrant are under seal, and the Company is presently unaware of the basis for the search.
The Company hereby confirms an analyst report to the effect that the Company’s Louisville, Kentucky operations generated approximately $4.0 million in annual revenue during the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, all of which was attributable to non-emergency medical transports.
