Amedisys Inc.

Amedisys Inc. signed a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire TLC Health Care Services, Inc. from Arcapita Inc., Monroe Capital LLC, Istithmar World Capital P.J.S.C. and other shareholders for $395 million in cash on February 19, 2008. A portion of the purchase consideration would be placed into escrow and Amedisys and TLC would enter into a shared services agreement for the affected locations if state regulatory approval for certain TLC operations, specifically those in West Virginia and the District of Columbia, are not received by the initial closing date.
