ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
 
OVERVIEW
 
    On March 3, 1998, Magellan Health Services, Inc. (together with its
consolidated subsidiaries hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company")
entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which it agreed to sell
to Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI") the Company's common and preferred equity
interest in Charter Behavioral Health System, LLC ("CBHS"). In addition, the
Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Purchase
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and such subsidiaries agreed to sell to
CBHS: (i) Charter Advantage LLC, ("Charter Advantage"), the entity that conducts
the Company's franchising operations; (ii) Charter System, LLC, which owns the
intellectual property comprising the "CHARTER" system of behavioral healthcare;
(iii) Group Practice Affiliates, Inc. ("GPA"), the Company's physician practice
management business; (iv) certain behavioral staff model operations; (v) the
Company's Puerto Rican provider management business; (vi) Golden Isle Assurance
Company, Ltd. ("Golden Isle"), one of the Company's captive insurance companies;
and (vii) Strategic Advantage, Inc. ("Strategic Advantage"), which owns certain
intellectual property used by the Company to monitor clinical results. The
Company and COI also entered into a Support Agreement which, among other things,
obligates COI to provide CBHS assistance to obtain financing for its payment
obligation under the Purchase Agreement. The following summary of certain
provisions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the
Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the copies of such documents filed as exhibits to this
Form 8-K.
 
    Upon consummation of the CBHS Transactions, the Company will receive $280.0
million in cash, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, pursuant to the Equity
Purchase Agreement, the number of shares of COI Common Stock obtained by
dividing $30.0 million by the average closing price of a share of COI Common
Stock for the ten trading days preceding consummation of the CBHS Transactions.
The Company expects to use the cash proceeds, after transaction costs of
approximately $8.0 million, to repay indebtedness outstanding under the term
loan facility of the Company's Credit Agreement. The CBHS Transactions are
expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. There can be no assurance
that the Company will consummate the CBHS Transactions.
 
    The obligations of the Company and CBHS to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement and the Support Agreement are
conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Services Purchase Agreement. It
is expected that the Services Purchase Agreement would obligate the Company to
purchase from CBHS a designated minimum amount of behavioral healthcare services
for gate-kept risk-based covered lives if it meets certain standards required of
it pursuant to the Provider Services Agreement. If the CBHS Transactions are
consummated, the Company also expects to enter into a Provider Services
Agreement with CBHS, pursuant to which the Company would grant CBHS status as a
national preferred provider of behavioral healthcare services to the Company for
ten years provided that CBHS complies during the term of the Provider Services
Agreement with enhanced clinical, quality assurance, reporting and customer
service standards in addition to the standards currently required of other
providers of such services to the Company. See "--Description of the Definitive
Agreements."
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS
 
    THE EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  The Company has agreed, pursuant to the
Equity Purchase Agreement, to sell to COI the Company's common and preferred
equity interest in CBHS for the number of shares of COI common stock obtained by
dividing $30.0 million by the average closing price of a share of COI common
stock for the ten trading days preceding consummation of the CBHS Transactions.
The obligation of COI to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Equity
Purchase Agreement is conditioned, among other things, upon the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The obligations of COI
and the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Equity
Purchase Agreement are also subject to, among other things, the effectiveness of
the interim final rule (the "Final Rule") relating to the existing statutory
shared risk
<PAGE>
safe harbor of [the Anti-Kickback Statute]. If the Final Rule becomes effective
in the form proposed on the date of execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement,
the obligations of COI and the Company to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are also subject to execution and
delivery of the Services Purchase Agreement substantially in the form agreed to
by the parties. If the Final Rule does not become effective in the form proposed
on the date of execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement, it is a condition of
the obligation of COI and the Company to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement that the Company and CBHS shall
have executed the Services Purchase Agreement in a form that complies with the
Final Rule without any material loss of the proposed benefits to be provided to
the parties under the Services Purchase Agreement.
 
    THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  The Company and certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries have agreed, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, to sell to CBHS: (i)
Charter Advantage; (ii) Charter System, LLC; (iii) GPA; (iv) certain behavioral
staff model operations; (v) the Company's Puerto Rican provider management
business; (vi) Golden Isle and (vii) Strategic Advantage. The Purchase Agreement
also grants CBHS the right to purchase any or all of certain staff model
operations of Merit Behavioral Care Corporation ("Merit"), which was acquired by
the Company on February 12, 1998, for no additional consideration. The
obligation of CBHS to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement is conditioned, among other things, upon the occurrence of the
following: (i) consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Equity
Purchase Agreement and (ii) consummation by CBHS of financing arrangements
sufficient to permit it to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement. The obligations of CBHS and the Company to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are also subject to, among
other things, the execution of either (i) a Joint Venture Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which the Company will sell to CBHS, for no additional
consideration, its interest in its six hospital-based joint ventures (the "Joint
Ventures") or (ii) amendments to the services agreement between the Company and
certain subsidiaries of CBHS relating to the Joint Ventures pursuant to which
CBHS the Company will transfer to CBHS all rights to receive certain
distributions with respect to the Joint Ventures and pursuant to which CBHS
would assume all obligations of the Company with respect to the Joint Ventures
arising after consummation of the CBHS Transactions.
 
    Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CBHS will be obligated to repay to the
Company, within 180 days after the consummation of the CBHS Transactions, all
amounts owed under any working capital loan and other loans, advances and
prepaid items from the Company existing on the date of the execution of the
Purchase Agreement and thereafter made by the Company. The Purchase Agreement
also provides that the Company and CBHS will execute an amendment to the master
franchise agreement entered into by them in connection with the use of the
"CHARTER" system of behavioral healthcare by CBHS upon the closing of the
Purchase Agreement which will reduce the franchise fees ("Franchise Fees") due
from CBHS from the current amount of approximately $6.5 million per month to
$5.0 million per month from February 1, 1998 until the closing of the Purchase
Agreement. If, however, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
are not consummated, CBHS will be obligated to pay the full amount of the
Franchise Fees during the period between February 1, 1998 and the termination of
the Purchase Agreement. Any amount of accrued and unpaid Franchise Fees on the
date of the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the amount of the Franchise
Fees accrued but not paid following the execution of the Purchase Agreement must
be paid by CBHS no later than 180 days following the consummation of the CBHS
Transactions.
 
    THE SUPPORT AGREEMENT.  The Company and COI also entered into the Support
Agreement. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, COI agreed to cooperate with and
provide assistance to CBHS in the preparation of any offering documents or other
material required in connection with CBHS's efforts to obtain financing for its
payment obligation under the Purchase Agreement. COI further agreed to reimburse
CBHS for all expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such financing,
whether or not
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
the CBHS Transactions are consummated. In addition, COI agreed to purchase up to
$25.0 million of CBHS securities if necessary to permit CBHS to obtain the
required financing. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Company agreed to
cooperate with CBHS in obtaining the financing by providing any information
required in connection with the financing.
 
    The Support Agreement also provides that if, as a result of the failure of
CBHS to obtain sufficient financing for its payment obligations under the
Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are
not consummated or the Purchase Agreement is terminated, then COI will pay the
Company a termination fee ("Termination Fee") which is comprised of $2.5 million
in cash and the number of shares of COI Common Stock obtained by dividing $2.5
million by the average closing price of a share of COI Common Stock for the five
trading days prior to the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement and for
the five trading days after the termination of the Purchase Agreement. COI shall
not be obligated to pay the Termination Fee until the later to occur of (i) 30
days after the date of the execution of the Support Agreement or (ii) the date
on which the Company and CBHS agree on a schedule defining CBHS's obligation to
open additional psychiatric facilities and implement services at such
facilities. Furthermore, COI may terminate either the Equity Purchase Agreement
or the Support Agreement for any reason within 30 days of the signing of the
agreements without incurring the Termination Fee.
 
    All of COI's obligations under the Support Agreement described above are
also subject to the Final Rule becoming effective. If the Final Rule becomes
effective in the form proposed on the date of execution of the Support
Agreement, COI's obligations under the Support Agreement are also subject to
execution and delivery of the Services Purchase Agreement substantially in the
form agreed to by the parties. If the Final Rule does not become effective in
the form proposed on the date of the Support Agreement, it is a condition of
COI's obligations under the Support Agreement that the Company and CBHS shall
have executed the Services Purchase Agreement in a form that complies with the
Final Rule without any material loss of the proposed benefits to be provided
under the Services Purchase Agreement.
 
    SERVICES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  The obligations of the Company and CBHS to
consumate the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement and the
Support Agreement are conditioned upon the execution and delivery of the
Services Purchase Agreement upon consummation of the CBHS Transactions. The
Company now contemplates that, pursuant to the Services Purchase Agreement, CBHS
would agree to comply with certain standards required of it pursuant to the
Provider Services Agreement to maintain existing inpatient facilities and
service capabilities and to develop and implement (i) a buildout of outpatient
facilities within a 20-mile radius of certain existing CBHS facilities providing
inpatient services and (ii) a comprehensive, nationwide buildout of additional
services and facilities to service the Company's gate-kept risk-based covered
lives. In exchange, the Company would agree to purchase a designated amount of
behavioral healthcare services for the Company's gate-kept risk-based covered
lives from CBHS and the entities managed by CBHS (collectively, the "CBHS
Entities") for the five year term of the Services Purchase Agreement.
 
    The Services Purchase Agreement would obligate the Company to purchase
during each year of the term of the agreement not less than $18 million of
inpatient services (the "Designated Inpatient Amount") and not less than $20
million of outpatient services (the "Designated Outpatient Amount," and together
with the Designated Inpatient Amount, the "Designated Amounts"), each subject to
certain reductions under certain circumstances. A liason committee made up of
representatives of the Company and CBHS (the "Committee") would adjust the
Designated Amounts, either up or down, subject to certain minimum Designated
Amounts to be mutually agreed on by the parties.The Committee would make the
following adjustments to the Designated Amounts, as applicable: (i) an upward
adjustment due to the CBHS Entities' build out of additional services and
facilities, (ii) a downward adjustment due to CBHS Facilities (as defined) being
closed or (iii) a downward adjustment due to reductions in the number of the
Company's risk based lives due to expired or terminated customer contracts.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    To the extent that the Company purchases less than the Designated Amounts
during any of the years of the term of the Services Purchase Agreement, (each
year a "Contract Year") the Company is required to pay service fees to CBHS as
calculated by the Committee pursuant to a formula to be set forth in the
Services Purchase Agreement ("Service Fees"). The maximum potential Service Fees
payable to CBHS by the Company for the five-year term of the Service Purchase
Agreement is expected to be approximately $59.4 million, assuming no changes to
the Designated Accounts. To determine the amount of the Service Fees, the
Committee will first determine the Purchased Inpatient and Purchased Outpatient
Amounts (collectively, the "Purchased Amounts") by adding (i) the amount of
certain defined inpatient and outpatient services, respectively, which the
Company refers to CBHS Entities but which the CBHS Entities do not actually
provide to (ii) the amounts of inpatient and outpatient services actually
purchased by the Company.
 
    Next, the Committee will determine the amounts of shortfalls and/or excess
purchases made by the Company based on the Purchased Amounts as compared to the
Designated Amounts. If the Purchased Inpatient Amount is less than the
Designated Inpatient Amount, then there is deemed to be an Inpatient Shortfall
which is equal to 33% of the difference between the Purchased Inpatient Amount
and the Designated Inpatient Amount. Likewise, if the Purchased Outpatient
Amount is less than the Designated Outpatient Amount, then there is deemed to be
an Outpatient Shortfall which is equal to 17% of the difference in the Purchased
Outpatient Amount and the Designated Outpatient Amount. On the other hand, if
either of the Purchased Amounts exceeds its respective Designated Amount, then
there is an Excess Purchase. If the Purchased Inpatient Amount exceeds the
Designated Inpatient Amount, then the Inpatient Excess Purchase is equal to 33%
of the difference in the Purchased Inpatient Amount and the Designated Inpatient
Amount. Similarly, if the Purchased Outpatient Amount exceeds the Designated
Outpatient Amount, then the Outpatient Excess Purchase is equal to 17% of the
difference in the Purchased Outpatient Amount and the Designated Outpatient
Amount. The resulting Inpatient Shortfall or Inpatient Excess Purchase and
Outpatient Shortfall or Outpatient Excess Purchase will then be netted against
one another to determine the Net Shortfall or Net Excess Purchase.
 
    In the event of a Net Excess Purchase, no Services Fees are due and 50% of
the Net Excess Purchase (the "Carryforward Amount") will be carried forward to
reduce any Net Shortfall in future years. In the event of a Net Shortfall, the
Committee will determine the Final Shortfall by subtracting the Carryforward
Amount from previous years, if any, from the Net Shortfall. The Final Shortfall,
if any, will then be divided into a Final Inpatient Shortfall and Final
Outpatient Shortfall by reducing the Inpatient and/or Outpatient Shortfalls by
the Carryforward Amount allocated on a pro rata basis in percentages equal to
the proportions in which the Inpatient and Outpatient Shortfalls comprise the
Net Shortfall. The Service Fee is then calculated by multiplying the Final
Inpatient and Outpatient Shortfalls by the appropriate factors for each Contract
Year, as set forth below:

    THE PROVIDER SERVICES AGREEMENT.  The Company and CBHS expect to enter into
a Provider Services Agreement upon the consummation of the CBHS Transactions.
The Company will grant "national preferred provider" status to CBHS and CBHS
Entities for a period of ten years, pursuant to the Provider Services Agreement.
The Provider Services Agreement would replace, amend or supercede all existing
provider agreements between the Company and the CBHS Entities. If one of the
CBHS Entities' facilities ("CBHS Facilities") is qualified to provide behavioral
health services required by an individual patient and if permitted by the
patient's benefit agreement, the Company's customer and applicable law, a CBHS
Facility meeting the patient's needs will be the first provider recommended by
the Company to a
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
patient at the time the patient is provided with a list of potential providers.
Pursuant to the Provider Services Agreement, in order to retain their national
preferred provider status, the CBHS Entities are required to: (i) provide
services to the Company and its customers at market rates comparable to those
charged by comparable facilities in the geographic area of a particular
facility; (ii) comply with terms and conditions for participation in the
provider networks of the Company and its customers; (iii) have available certain
required behavioral health services at each of the CBHS Facilities, (iv) have
facilities geographically located such that they are accessable to patients
within the Company's provider networks; (v) comply with certain service
standards and requirements of the Company and its customers; and (vi) comply
with enhanced clinical, quality assurance, reporting and customer service
standards in addition to the standards currently required of other providers of
such services to the Company which will be mutually agreed on by the Company and
CBHS. The Provider Services Agreement would also standardize the provider
arrangements between the Company and CBHS to include additional representations,
covenants and agreements customarily present in contracts with similar providers
of behavioral healthcare.
 
IMPACT ON THE COMPANY
 
    REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF COVERED LIVES.  Consummation of the CBHS Transactions
will result in a reduction in the number of covered lives in the Company's
behavioral managed care products by the approximately 1.1 million lives enrolled
in behavioral managed care products offered by GPA. The following table sets
forth, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the CBHS Transactions, the
approximate number of covered lives as of December 31, 1997 and revenue for
fiscal 1997 for each type of managed behavioral healthcare program offered by
the Company:

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET--CBHS TRANSACTIONS
 
(1) Adjustment to deferred income tax assets represents the tax consequences of
    the gains related to the CBHS Transactions, which relate primarily to the
    utilization of historical and pro forma net operating loss carryforwards.
 
(2) Adjustment to Investment in CBHS represents the elimination of the Company's
    investment.
 
(3) Adjustment to Investment in COI represents the Company's basis in COI common
    stock received as consideration in the CBHS Transactions. The Company's
    investment in COI would have represented approximately 11.7% of COI's
    outstanding common stock based on the closing price of COI's common stock on
    April 7, 1998. The Company expects to account for its investment in COI as
    an available-for-sale security.
 
(4) Adjustment to accrued liabilities and deferred credits and other long-term
    liabilities represents the current and long-term portion of the net deferred
    gain recorded on the CBHS Transaction equal to the maximum potential
    obligation payable under the Services Purchase Agreement. Such amounts, or
    portions thereof, would be payable to CBHS to the extent that shortfalls
    exist under the Services Purchase Agreement. The Company will recognize a
    gain from the CBHS Transactions in future periods for that portion of
    services purchased from CBHS.
 
(5) Adjustment to long-term debt and capital lease obligations represents the
    repayment of long-term debt under the New Credit Agreement with the
    estimated proceeds of approximately $280.0 million less approximately $8.0
    million of transaction costs from the CBHS Transactions.
 
(6) Adjustment to accumulated deficit represents the net gain on the CBHS
    Transactions, computed as follows (in thousands):

                MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES ANNOUNCES AGREEMENTS TO
                 SELL CHARTER ADVANTAGE LLC AND ITS INTEREST IN
                     CHARTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS LLC
                               ------------------
 
ATLANTA, GA., MARCH 4, 1998--Magellan Health Services, Inc. (NYSE:MGL) announced
today that it had signed definitive agreements to sell Charter Advantage LLC,
which encompasses Magellan's franchise operations, and certain other assets to
Charter Behavioral Health Systems LLC (CBHS) and its 50% interest in CBHS to
Crescent Operating Inc. (NASDAQ: COPI) or its affiliate. The definitive
agreements contemplate the sale of the Company's interest in six-hospital based
joint ventures as well.
 
    Under the terms of the agreement, Magellan will receive $310 million in
total consideration before transaction costs to include $280 million in cash
from CBHS for Charter Advantage LLC, the six hospital-based joint ventures and
certain other assets and $30 million in COPI stock for the 50% interest in CBHS.
The agreements contain a $5 million break-up fee payable half in cash and half
in COPI stock that will go into effect no earlier than 30 days after signing of
the agreements. The transaction is expected to close in the third fiscal quarter
of 1998.
 
    The franchise arrangement between Magellan and CBHS will be terminated upon
closing of the transaction. All of the intellectual property of provider
operations will be transferred to CBHS and it is anticipated that Magellan and
CBHS will enhance their existing preferred provider relationship.
 
    Magellan will use the net proceeds of the transaction to reduce debt
outstanding under its new bank credit agreement.
 
    The closure of the transaction is subject to completion of CBHS's financing,
Magellan's Board of Directors' approval, a 30 day COPI review period, certain
regulatory filings including Hart Scott Rodino, and other customary closing
conditions.
 
    "Over the last year, Magellan has moved significantly forward in its
transformation from being a provider of behavioral healthcare to becoming the
nation's leading manager of specialty care. This transaction will represent the
last major step in that transformation. While the transaction will be modestly
dilutive to earnings per share to Magellan in fiscal 1998, eliminating our
ownership stake in CBHS at this time makes sense as we continue to focus our
energy on integrating the specialty managed care
 
                                       2

units we have acquired into Magellan," said Mac Crawford, chairman, president
and chief executive officer of Magellan. "The transaction should also improve
CBHS's ability to implement their own strategic initiatives. Magellan and CBHS
will continue to have a strong relationship as the leaders in their respective
industries."
 
    John Goff, chairman of the board of CBHS said, "We are pleased to reach an
agreement for the purchase of the remaining provider assets and feel that we
will have an excellent opportunity to expand CBHS's market reach and deliver
quality behavioral healthcare across the nation."
 
    "The elimination of the franchise fees greatly enhances our flexibility for
acquisitions and product expansion. We can now focus our full attention on
strengthening our continuum of care and expanding our provider network," said
Steve Davis, president and chief executive officer of Charter Behavioral Health
Systems. "We are working hard to help ensure that CBHS is well-positioned to
continue to meet the needs of the evolving behavioral healthcare environment. As
the largest private provider of behavioral treatment programs in the country, we
are looking forward to a long-term relationship with the largest private
behavioral healthcare payor, Magellan Health Services."
 
    Magellan Health Services, Inc. is one of the country's largest specialty
care managers. The Company manages the behavioral care of over 58 million lives
with an additional 3.4 million members covered under managed medical specialty
care contracts.
 
    Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC is the nation's leading provider of
behavioral and addiction treatment programs. The company's 88 domestic
facilities provide a full continuum of care, including inpatient, outpatient and
partial hospitalization programs.
 
    Certain of the statements in this press release including, without
limitation, statements by Magellan and CBHS regarding the ability to implement
initiatives and the operational relationship between Magellan and CBHS
constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Risk factors such as the level of success in Magellan's
integration of its acquired companies and operational success of the acquired
companies could have a material adverse effect on Magellan's operations. Risk
factors such as the ability of CBHS to complete its financing, Magellan's board
approval, favorable completion of the 30 day review by COPI, Magellan's receipt
of necessary regulatory approvals for the transaction, and completion of
customary closing conditions could prevent Magellan, CBHS and Crescent Operating
Inc. from completing the transaction. For a more complete discussion of these
and other risk factors, please see "Cautionary Statements--The Company" and
