ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

On March 17, 2015, Magellan Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Magellan”), and Magellan Rx Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magellan (“Magellan Rx”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with 4D Pharmacy Management Systems, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“4D”), Denise S. Borsand, Jonathan Borsand, Lisa C. Cohen, Marcy L. Forta, and Remy E. Polter, as holders of the outstanding equity interests in 4D (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Gerald C. Borsand in his capacity as the Seller Representative.  4D is a privately held, full-service pharmacy benefit manager (“PBM”) serving managed care organizations, employers and government-sponsored benefit programs, such as Medicare Part D plans.

The Agreement provides for Magellan’s purchase from the Sellers of all of the outstanding equity interests in 4D (the “Transaction”) for a cash purchase price equal to a base amount of $55 million, subject to adjustment, plus potential contingent payments up to an aggregate amount of $30 million. The base amount will be payable at the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”).  The contingent payment provisions provide for (i) cash payments of up to $10 million based on the achievement of certain growth targets in the underlying dual eligible membership served by 4D and (ii) cash payments of up to $20 million for the retention of certain business through 2018.  At the Closing, the amount of $5 million will be placed in escrow in connection with the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Agreement.  To the extent Magellan’s claims for indemnification do not exceed this amount, the holdback will be released to the Sellers on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing.

The Agreement sets forth a variety of customary representations and warranties and covenants, including covenants requiring the conduct of 4D’s business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and other restrictions on the operation of its business prior to the consummation of the Transaction.  Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.  Subject to the closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the Transaction in the second quarter of 2015.
