ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
Effective June 16, 2000, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase
Agreement, Putnam Community Medical Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and wholly owned subsidiary of LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (the
"Company"), acquired substantially all of the assets of Putnam Community Medical
Center from Putnam Hospitals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HCA - The
Healthcare Company ("HCA"). These assets included a 141-bed, acute care facility
that has more than 500 employees, 90 medical staff members in 20 specialties,
and serves North Central Florida. The facility is accredited by the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Company expects to
continue operating Putnam Community Medical Center as a general acute care
hospital facility.
The purchase price for the hospital was approximately $43.5 million,
with anticipated subsequent post-closing adjustments for net working capital and
capital lease obligations assumed by the Company. The purchase price was paid in
cash and was determined through arms length negotiations between the Company and
HCA. To finance the acquisition of the facility, the Company used existing cash
balances and borrowings under its credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led
by Fleet National Bank.
The Company was established in May 1999 as a spin-off to the
stockholders of HCA. As a result of the acquisition of Putnam Community Medical
Center, the Company now owns 22 hospitals in non-urban areas.
