Item 5. Other Events.
On October 8, 1997, the Registrant issued a press release stating (in
part) as follows:
Raleigh, N.C., October 8 -- Medic Computer Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCSY)
, announced today that the Federal Trade Commission has granted early
termination to the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act with respect to the acquisition of Medic by a subsidiary of
Misys. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Medic shareholders
would receive $35 per share for each share of Medic Common Stock, or an
aggregate consideration of approximately $923 million.
The parties expect that the proposed transaction will be presented to
Medic's shareholders in mid-November 1997. As previously indicated, the
transaction remains subject to a number of other customary closing conditions,
and there can be no assurance that the merger will occur by such time, or at
all.
