Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
------------------------
On April 29, 2002, Matria Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Matria"), LifeMetrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LifeMetrix"), and Quality
Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Quality Oncology"), entered into a
definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"),
pursuant to which Matria will purchase from LifeMetrix all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Quality Oncology, a provider of cancer disease
management programs, and LifeMetrix will, at or prior to such purchase,
contribute certain related software, contracts and other assets to Quality
Oncology. A copy of the press release announcing the signing of the Purchase and
Sale Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report. The obligations of
both parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and
Sale Agreement are subject to certain conditions, including the filing of notice
and the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
The purchase price for the transaction consists of a total of $3
million in cash and $17 million in registered shares of Matria Common Stock to
be paid at closing, subject to adjustment based on the results of Quality
Oncology's December 31, 2001 and closing date audits, and an additional
contingent purchase price to be paid in the second quarter of 2004 based on the
financial performance of Quality Oncology in 2003 (the "Earn Out"). The Earn Out
will be payable, at Matria's option, in cash, registered shares of Matria Common
Stock or a combination thereof; provided that at least $10 million or twenty
percent of the Earn Out, whichever is lower, will be paid in cash. Matria
currently estimates that the Earn Out payment will be between $20 million and
$30 million, although the Earn Out could be more or less than that amount,
depending on Quality Oncology's performance.
LifeMetrix, and its preferred stockholders owning more than seventy
percent of LifeMetrix capital stock, on an as-converted basis, will execute at
the closing a standstill agreement that generally restricts their ability to
acquire Matria voting securities until the expiration of five years after the
Earn Out payment is made. Such standstill agreement will also generally impose a
one-year holding period on all shares of Matria Common Stock acquired in the
transaction and will impose volume limitations on the transfer of Matria shares
issued in payment of the Earn Out until the expiration of five years after the
Earn Out payment is made. LifeMetrix, and the preferred stockholders of
LifeMetrix executing the standstill agreement, will be entitled to exercise
piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of Matria Common Stock
issued pursuant to the transaction.
Edmund Bujalski, the President and Chief Executive Officer of
LifeMetrix, will be employed as the president of Quality Oncology following the
closing. Mr. Bujalski, and certain other management stockholders and option
holders of LifeMetrix and Quality Oncology will enter into non-competition
agreements with Matria.
This Report contains forward-looking statements. The words "estimate,"
"expect," "project," "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify
these forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to Matria's
current estimate as to the amount of the Earn Out payment to be made in
connection with the acquisition of Quality Oncology. Among the important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by
such forward-looking statements include the growth and performance of Quality
Oncology's cancer disease management business, developments in the healthcare
industry, third-party actions over which Matria does not have control,
regulatory requirements applicable to Matria's business and the risk factors
detailed from time to time in Matria's periodic reports and registration
statements filed with The Securities and Exchange Commission, including Matria's
Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. By making these
forward-looking statements, Matria does not undertake to update them in any
manner except as may be required by Matria's disclosure obligations in filings
it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal
securities laws.
The information set forth under this Item 9 and Exhibit 99.1 is being
furnished for informational purposes only pursuant to Regulation FD and is not
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. None of this
information may be incorporated by reference into any other filings Matria has
made or may make pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or into any
other documents unless such portion of this Current Report on Form 8-K is
expressly and specifically identified in such filling as being incorporated by
reference therein.
