ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On September 23, 1999, HealthStar Corp., a Delaware corporation
("HealthStar"), HealthStar, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("HSI") and Beyond
Benefits, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Beyond"), entered into a definitive
agreement to sell all of the capital stock of HSI to Beyond. The capital stock
of HSI constitutes substantially all of the assets of HealthStar. Through HSI,
HealthStar operates the HealthStar Preferred Provider Organization, a national
managed healthcare network consisting of over 1,900 hospitals and in excess of
120,000 physicians. If the transaction with Beyond is consummated, HealthStar
will receive $10,000,000 in cash at closing and 303,943 shares of non-voting
series B common stock of Beyond. Further, HealthStar may receive up to an
additional $1,250,000 if actual revenue of HSI exceeds predetermined levels
within the eighteen months following the closing of the Proposed Sale. Subject
to the completion of certain conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement"), HealthStar anticipates that the sale shall become effective on or
before November 15, 1999. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary
conditions, including approval by HealthStar's shareholders. The Agreement is
attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company will continue to own and operate, its wholly-owned
subsidiary National Health Benefits and Casualty ("NHBC"). NHBC is in the
business of providing management of group healthcare services, workers
compensation claims and automobile accident medical claims for property and
casualty insurers, third-party administrators and self-insured employers. The
Company is seeking a buyer for NHBC or its assets, but is not a party to any
agreement relating to such a transaction.
Beyond Benefits, Inc. is a privately held managed healthcare company
based in Long Beach, California, which was formed during the first half of 1999.
In May 1999, Beyond Benefits completed the acquisition of Irvine, California
based Preferred Health Network, a regional PPO network consisting of
approximately 1,800 hospitals and 160,000 physicians.
On December 16, 1999, the Company and Beyond Benefits entered into an
amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement to provide that the cash portion of
the purchase price be increased to $10,850,000 from $10,000,000 and to remove
from the purchase price 303,943 shares of Beyond Benefits' non-voting Series B
common stock.
The Company and Beyond Benefits entered into the Second Amendment to
the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 29, 2000, to provide that
the purchase price be reduced to $8,880,000 and that the $1.25 million
earn-out provision be eliminated from the Agreement. The Second Amendment
also provided that (i) the closing of the Beyond Benefits transaction would
be held on or before April 30, 2000 or such other time or date on which the
parties may agree in writing (unless the agreement is previously terminated
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement as amended); and (ii) that the Company
will consult with and coordinate with Beyond Benefits regarding operations
and management of HSI from the date of the Second Amendment until the
transaction is closed (subject to the terms set forth in the Second
Amendment).
