Item 5. Other Events
The merger of LabOne, Inc. into Lab Holdings, Inc. became effective August 10,

stockholders of Lab Holdings at its annual stockholders' meeting held August

The combined company stated that $10.7 million would be paid to LabOne
stockholders who made cash elections for 838,000 shares in the merger. As the

cash elections will receive $12.75 per share for their cash election shares.
All other shares of LabOne common stock were converted into combined company
common stock on a one-for-one basis. All shares of Lab Holdings were split
1.5 for one immediately prior to the merger.
At the time of the merger, the name of the combined company was changed to
