THE COMPANY The executive offices of MedPartners are located at 3000 Galleria Tower, Suite 1000, Birmingham, Alabama 35244, and its telephone number is (205) 733-8996. RISK FACTORS In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, prospective purchasers of the Common Stock should consider carefully the factors listed below. RISKS RELATING TO INTEGRATION IN CONNECTION WITH ACQUISITIONS The Company has recently completed major acquisitions and is still in the process of integrating those acquired businesses. While the business plans of these acquired companies are similar, their histories, geographical location, business models and cultures are different in many respects. The Company's Board of Directors and senior management of the Company face a significant challenge in their efforts to integrate the businesses of the Company and the acquired companies so that the different cultures and the varying emphases on managed care and fee-for-service can be effectively managed to continue to grow these businesses. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from the day-to-day business of the Company. There can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with such activities or that there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the Company. Physician Compensation. Approximately 64% of the Company's PPM revenue at March 31, 1997 was derived from or through contracts between the Company and hospitals or HMOs. The balance of the Company's PPM revenue is generated through professional corporations ("PCs") that have entered into contracts directly with HMOs or have the right to receive payment directly from HMOs for the provision of medical services. The Company has a controlling financial interest in these PCs by virtue of a long-term management agreement that also provides for physician compensation. The most significant clinic expense, physician compensation, accounted for 43% of total expenses in the Company's PPM service area in the first quarter of 1997. Physicians that generated 9% of PPM revenue in 1996 received a fixed-dollar amount plus a discretionary bonus based on performance criteria goals. Physician compensation expense was 54% of this first category of PCs' total net revenue in the first quarter of 1997. Physicians that were compensated on a fee-for-service basis produced approximately 17% of the Company's PPM revenue in the first quarter of 1997. Physician compensation expense pursuant to such agreements represented 50% of this second category of PCs' total net revenue in the first quarter of 1997. The remaining 10% of PPM revenues were generated by physicians who were provided a salary, bonus and profit-sharing payment based on the PC's net income. Physician compensation expense pursuant to such agreements represented 45% of this third category of PCs' total net revenue in the first quarter of 1997. Under each of these arrangements, revenue is assigned to MedPartners by the PC, and MedPartners is responsible and at risk for all clinic expenses. While management of the Company believes that the diverse experience of each of the combined companies will serve to strengthen the Company, there can be no assurance that management's efforts to integrate the operations of the Company will be successful. The profitability of the Company is largely dependent on its ability to develop and integrate networks of physicians from the affiliated practices, to manage and control costs and to realize economies of scale. The Company's operating results could be adversely affected in the event it incurs costs associated with developing networks without generating sufficient revenues form such networks. RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGY; INTEGRATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES The Company intends to continue to pursue an aggressive growth strategy through acquisitions and internal development for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pursue new growth opportunities successfully will depend on many factors, including, among others, the Company's ability to identify suitable growth opportunities and successfully integrate acquired businesses and practices. There can be no assurance 2
POS AM6th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
that the Company will anticipate all of the changing demands that expanding operations will impose on its management, management information systems and physician network. Any failure by the Company to adapt its systems and procedures to those changing demands could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. Competition for Expansion Opportunities. The Company is subject to the risk that it will be unable to identify and recruit suitable acquisition candidates in the future. The Company competes for acquisition, affiliation and other expansion opportunities with national, regional and local PPM companies and other physician management entities. In addition, certain companies, including hospital management companies, hospitals and insurers, are expanding their presence in the PPM market. The Company's failure to compete successfully for expansion opportunities or to attract and recruit suitable acquisition candidates could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. The Company is also subject to the risk that it will be unable to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals to serve as employees or independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates. See "Business -- Competition" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the "Company's 10-K/A") incorporated herein by reference. Integration Risks. Acquisitions of PPM companies and physician practices entail the risk that such acquisitions will fail to perform in accordance with expectations and that the Company will be unable to successfully integrate such acquired businesses and physician practices into its operations. The profitability of the Company is largely dependent on its ability to develop and integrate networks of physicians, to manage and control costs and to realize economies of scale from acquisitions of PPM companies and physician practices. The histories, geographic location, business models, including emphasis on managed care and fee-for-service, and cultures of acquired PPM businesses and physician practices may differ from the Company's past experiences. Dedicating management resources to the integration process may detract attention from the day-to-day business of the Company. Moreover, the integration of the acquired businesses and physician practices may require substantial capital and financial investments. These, together with other risks described herein, could result in the incurrence of substantial costs in connection with acquisitions that may never achieve revenue and profitability levels comparable to the Company's existing physician networks, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. The major acquisitions carried out by the Company since January 1995 have been structured as poolings of interests. As a result, the operating income of the Company has been reduced by the merger expenses incurred in connection with those acquisitions, resulting in a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996. There can be no assurance that future merger expenses will not result in further net losses. Nor can there be any assurance that there will not be substantial future costs associated with integrating acquired companies; that the Company will be successful in integrating such companies; or that the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions will be realized fully. The unsuccessful integration of such companies or the failure of the Company to realize such anticipated benefits fully could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. See "-- Risks Relating to Capital Requirements". Dependence on HMO Enrollee Growth. The Company is also largely dependent on the continued increase in the number of HMO enrollees who use its physician networks. This growth may come from development or acquisition of other PPM entities, affiliation with additional physicians, increased enrollment in HMOs currently contracting with the Company through its affiliated physicians and additional agreements with HMOs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying, acquiring and integrating additional medical groups or other PPM companies or in increasing the number of enrollees. A decline in enrollees in HMOs could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. The Company is statutorily and contractually prohibited from controlling any medical decisions made by a healthcare provider. Accordingly, affiliated physicians may decline to enter into HMO agreements that are negotiated for them by the Company or may enter into contracts for the provision of medical services or make other financial commitments that are not intended to benefit the Company and which, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. See "Business -- Operations" in the Company's 10-K/A incorporated herein by reference. 3
POS AM7th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
Risks Relating to Capital Requirements. The Company's growth strategy requires substantial capital for the acquisition of PPM businesses and assets of physician practices, and for their effective integration, operation and expansion. Affiliated physician practices may also require capital for renovation, expansion and additional medical equipment and technology. The Company believes that its existing cash resources, the use of Common Stock for selected practice and other acquisitions, and available borrowings under the $1.0 billion credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with NationsBank, National Association (South), as administrative bank to a group of lenders, or any successor credit facility, will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated acquisition, expansion and working capital needs for the next twelve months. The Company expects from time to time to raise additional capital through the issuance of long-term or short-term indebtedness or the issuance of additional equity securities in private or public transactions, at such times as management deems appropriate and the market allows in order to meet the capital needs of the Company. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing for future acquisitions or for the integration and expansion of existing networks can be obtained. Any of such financings could result in increased interest and amortization expense, decreased income to fund future expansion and dilution of existing equity positions. Dependence on Affiliated Physicians. The Company's revenue depends on revenues generated by the physicians with whom the Company has practice management agreements. These agreements define the responsibilities of the physicians and the Company and govern all terms and conditions of their relationship. The practice management agreements have terms generally of 20 to 40 years, subject to termination for cause, which includes bankruptcy or a material breach. Practice management agreements with certain of the affiliated practices contain provisions giving the physician practice the option to terminate the agreement without cause, subject to significant limitations. Because the Company cannot control the provision of medical services by its affiliated physicians contractually or otherwise under the laws of California and most other states in which the Company operates, affiliated physicians may decline to enter into HMO agreements that are negotiated for them by the Company or may enter into contracts for the provision of medical services or make other financial commitments which are not intended to benefit the Company and which could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. RISKS RELATING TO CAPITATED NATURE OF REVENUES; CONTROL OF HEALTHCARE COSTS A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from agreements with HMOs that provide for the receipt of capitated fees. Under these agreements, the Company, through its affiliated physicians, is generally responsible for the provision of all covered outpatient benefits, regardless of whether the affiliated physicians directly provide the medical services associated with the covered benefits. The Company is statutorily and contractually prohibited from controlling any medical decisions made by any healthcare provider. To the extent that enrollees require more care than is anticipated or require supplemental medical care that is not otherwise reimbursed by the HMO, aggregate capitation rates may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with the treatment of enrollees. If revenue is insufficient to cover costs, the operating results and financial condition of the Company could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the Company's success will depend in large part on the effective management of healthcare costs through various methods, including utilization management, competitive pricing for purchased services and favorable agreements with payors. Recently, many providers, including the Company, have experienced pricing pressures with respect to negotiations with HMOs. In addition, employer groups are becoming increasingly successful in negotiating reductions in the growth of premiums paid for their employees' health insurance, which tends to depress the reimbursement for healthcare services. At the same time, employer groups are demanding higher accountability from payors and providers of healthcare services with respect to measurable accessibility, quality and service. If these trends continue, the cost of providing physician services could increase while the level of reimbursement could grow at a lower rate or could decrease. There can be no assurance that these pricing pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. In addition, changes in healthcare practices, inflation, new technologies, major epidemics, natural disasters and numerous other factors affecting the delivery and cost of healthcare could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. 4
POS AM8th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
The Company's financial statements include estimates of costs for covered medical benefits incurred by HMO enrollees, but not yet reported. While these estimates are based on information available at the time of calculation, there can be no assurance that actual costs will approximate the estimates of such amounts. If the actual costs significantly exceed the amounts estimated and accrued, such additional costs could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. The HMO agreements often contain shared-risk provisions under which additional revenue can be earned or economic penalties can be incurred based upon the utilization of hospital and non-professional services by HMO enrollees. The Company's financial statements contain accruals for estimates of shared-risk amounts receivable from or payable to the HMOs that contract with their affiliated physicians. These estimates are based upon inpatient utilization and associated costs incurred by HMO enrollees compared to budgeted costs. Differences between actual contract settlements and amounts estimated as receivable or payable relating to HMO risk-sharing arrangements are generally reconciled annually. This may cause fluctuations from amounts previously accrued. To the extent that HMO enrollees require more care than is anticipated or require supplemental care that is not otherwise reimbursed by the HMOs, aggregate capitation rates may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with the treatment of enrollees. Any such insufficiency could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. Physician groups that render services on a fee-for-service basis (as opposed to a capitated plan) typically bill various third-party payors, such as governmental programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid), private insurance plans and managed care plans, for the healthcare services provided to their patients. A significant portion of the revenue of the Company is derived from payments made by these third-party payors. There can be no assurance that payments under governmental programs or from other third-party payors will remain at present levels. In addition, third-party payors can deny reimbursement if they determine that treatment was not performed in accordance with the cost-effective treatment methods established by such payors or was experimental or for other reasons. Any material decrease in payments received from such third-party payors could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. RISKS RELATING TO CERTAIN CAREMARK LEGAL MATTERS OIG Settlement and Related Claims. Caremark agreed in June 1995 to settle with the Office of the Inspector General (the "OIG") of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (the "DHHS"), the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), the Veteran's Administration, the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program ("FEHBP"), the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services ("CHAMPUS") and related state investigative agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia a four-year-long investigation of Caremark (the "OIG Settlement"). Under the terms of the OIG Settlement, which covered allegations dating back to 1986, a subsidiary of Caremark pled guilty to two counts of mail fraud -- one each in Minnesota and Ohio -- resulting in the payment of civil penalties and criminal fines. The basis of these guilty pleas was Caremark's failure to provide certain information to CHAMPUS, FEHBP and federally funded healthcare benefit programs concerning financial relationships between Caremark and a physician in each of Minnesota and Ohio. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings" in the Company's 10-K/A incorporated herein by reference. In its agreement with the OIG and DOJ, Caremark agreed to continue to maintain certain compliance-related oversight procedures. Should these oversight procedures reveal credible evidence of legal or regulatory violations, Caremark is required to report such violations to the OIG and DOJ. Caremark is, therefore, subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and, in the event it commits legal or regulatory violations, Caremark may be subject to an increased risk of sanctions or penalties, including disqualification as a provider of Medicare or Medicaid services, which would have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. In connection with the matters described above relating to the OIG Settlement, Caremark is a party to various non-governmental claims and may in the future become subject to additional OIG-related claims. Caremark is a party to, or the subject of, and may be subjected to in the future, various private suits and claims (including stockholder derivative actions and an alleged class action suit) being asserted in connection 5
POS AM9th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
with matters relating to the OIG Settlement by Caremark's stockholders, patients who received healthcare services from Caremark and such patients' insurers. The Company cannot determine at this time what costs may be incurred in connection with future disposition of non-governmental claims or litigation. Such additional costs, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings" in the Company's 10-K/A incorporated herein by reference. In August and September 1994, stockholders, each purporting to represent a class, filed complaints against Caremark and certain officers and employees of Caremark in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and fraud and negligence in connection with public disclosures by Caremark regarding Caremark's business practices and the status of the OIG investigation discussed above. The complaints seek unspecified damages, declaratory and equitable relief, and attorney's fees and expenses. In June 1996, the complaint filed by one group of stockholders alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 only, was certified as a class. The parties to all of the complaints continue to engage in discovery proceedings. MedPartners intends to defend these cases vigorously. Management is unable at this time to estimate the impact, if any, of the ultimate resolution of these matters. In May 1996, three home infusion companies, purporting to represent a class consisting of all of Caremark's competitors in the alternate site infusion therapy industry, filed a complaint against Caremark, a subsidiary of Caremark, and two other corporations in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii alleging violations of the federal conspiracy laws, the antitrust laws and of California's unfair business practices statute. The complaint seeks unspecified treble damages, and attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously. Although management believes, based on information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of this matter is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company, there can be no assurance, that the ultimate resolution of this matter, if adversely determined, would not have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. Private Payor Settlements. In March 1996, Caremark agreed to settle all disputes with a number of private payors. These disputes relate to businesses that were covered by the OIG Settlement. The settlements resulted in an after-tax charge of approximately $43.8 million. In addition, the Company paid $24.1 million after-tax to cover the private payors' pre-settlement and settlement-related expenses. An after-tax charge for the above amounts was recorded in first quarter 1996 discontinued operations. Coram Litigation. On September 11, 1995, Coram Healthcare Corporation ("Coram") filed a complaint in the San Francisco Superior Court against Caremark and its subsidiary, Caremark Inc., and 50 unnamed individual defendants. The complaint, which arises from Caremark's sale to Coram of Caremark's home infusion therapy business in April 1995, for approximately $209.0 million in cash and $100.0 million in securities, alleges breach of the Asset Sale and Note Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 1995, as amended April 1, 1995, between Coram and Caremark, breach of related contracts, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and a right to contractual indemnity. Coram's amended complaint includes claims for specific performance, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and requests damages of $5.2 billion. However, at a pretrial hearing in May 1997, counsel for Coram stated to the court that, with respect to compensatory damages, Coram was realistically seeking approximately $300 million. Caremark filed counterclaims against Coram in this lawsuit and also filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court in Chicago claiming that Coram committed securities fraud in its sale to Caremark of its securities in connection with the sale of Caremark's home infusion business to Coram. The lawsuit filed in federal court in Chicago has been dismissed, but on appeal by Caremark the dismissal was reversed and the lawsuit was remanded. Coram's lawsuit is currently in the final states of discovery and a trial is scheduled for June 1997. The net recorded value of amounts owed by Coram to the Company was approximately $55 million at December 31, 1996. This amount represents management's best estimate of the net realizable value of the amounts owed by Coram to the Company, based upon information available to the Company and is supported by the independent valuation by Integrated Health Services, Inc. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these proceedings, based on information currently 6
POS AM10th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
available as to the viability of the claims interposed by Coram, the evidence which the Company understands will be advanced by Coram to support such claims and the defenses available to the Company, management believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the operating results or financial condition of the Company. However, an adverse determination could have a material adverse effect on the operating results or financial condition of the Company. Caremark Acquisition Litigation. In May 1996, two stockholders, each purporting to represent a class, filed complaints against Caremark and each of its directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware alleging breaches of the directors' fiduciary duty in connection with Caremark's then proposed merger with the Company. The complaints seek unspecified damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company believes these complaints will not have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings" and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in the Company's 10-K/A incorporated herein by reference. RISKS RELATING TO EXPOSURE TO PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY; LIABILITY INSURANCE In recent years, physicians, hospitals and other participants in the healthcare industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging medical malpractice and related legal theories. Many of these lawsuits involve large claims and substantial defense costs. Although the Company does not engage in the practice of medicine or provide medical services, and does not control the practice of medicine by its affiliated physicians or the compliance with regulatory requirements directly applicable to the affiliated physicians and physician groups, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in such litigation in the future. Through the ownership and operation of Pioneer Hospital ("Pioneer Hospital"), U.S. Family Care Medical Center ("USFMC") and Friendly Hills Hospital ("Friendly Hills"), acute care hospitals located in Artesia, Montclair and La Habra, California, respectively, the Company could be subject to allegations of negligence and wrongful acts by its hospital-based physicians or arising out of providing nursing care, emergency room services, credentialing of medical staff members and other activities incident to the operation of an acute care hospital. In addition, through its management of clinic locations and provision of non-physician healthcare personnel, the Company could be named in actions involving care rendered to patients by physicians employed by or contracting with affiliated medical organizations and physician groups. The Company maintains professional and general liability insurance and other coverage deemed necessary by MedPartners. Nevertheless, certain types of risks and liabilities are not covered by insurance and there can be no assurance that the limits of coverage will be adequate to cover losses in all instances. In addition, the Company's practice management agreements require the affiliated physicians to maintain professional liability and workers' compensation insurance coverage on the practice and on each employee and agent of the practice, and the Company generally is indemnified under each of the practice management agreements by the affiliated physicians for liabilities resulting from the performance of medical services. However, there can be no assurance that a future claim or claims will not exceed the limits of these available insurance coverages or that indemnification will be available for all such claims. See "Business -- Corporate Liability and Insurance" in the Company's 10-K/A incorporated herein by reference. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Federal and state laws regulate the relationships among providers of healthcare services, physicians and other clinicians. These laws include the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid statutes, which prohibit the solicitation, payment, receipt or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration for the referral of Medicare or Medicaid patients or for recommendation, leasing, arranging, ordering or purchasing of Medicare or Medicaid covered services, as well as laws that impose significant penalties for false or improper billings for physician services. These laws also impose restrictions on physicians' referrals for designated health services to entities with which they have financial relationships. Violations of these laws may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties for individuals or entities, including large civil monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Such exclusion and penalties, if applied to the Company's affiliated physicians, could result in significant loss of reimbursement. Moreover, the laws of many states, including California (from which a significant portion of the Company's revenues are derived), prohibit physicians from splitting fees with non-physicians and prohibit 7
POS AM11th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
non-physician entities from practicing medicine. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and are enforced by the courts and by regulatory authorities with broad discretion. As stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, the Company believes that it has perpetual and unilateral control over the assets and operations of the various affiliated professional corporations. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not take the position that such control conflicts with state laws regarding the practice of medicine or other federal restrictions. Although the Company believes its operations as currently conducted are in material compliance with existing applicable laws, there can be no assurance that the existing organization of the Company and its contractual arrangements with affiliated physicians will not be successfully challenged as constituting the unlicensed practice of medicine or that the enforceability of the provisions of such arrangements, including non-competition agreements, will not be limited. There can be no assurance that review of the business of the Company and its affiliates by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect their operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict existing operations or expansion thereof. In the event of action by any regulatory authority limiting or prohibiting the Company or any affiliate from carrying on its business or from expanding the operations of the Company and its affiliates to certain jurisdictions, structural and organizational modifications of the Company may be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. In addition to the regulations referred to above, significant aspects of the Company's operations are subject to state and federal statutes and regulations governing workplace health and safety, the operation of pharmacies, repackaging of drug products, dispensing of controlled substances and the disposal of medical waste. The Company's operations may also be affected by changes in ethical guidelines and operating standards of professional and trade associations and private accreditation commissions such as the American Medical Association and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Accordingly, changes in existing laws and regulations, adverse judicial or administrative interpretations of such laws and regulations or enactment of new legislation could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. See "-- Risks Relating to Pharmacy Licensing and Operation". As of March 31, 1997, approximately 11% of the revenues of the Company's affiliated physician groups are derived from payments made by government-sponsored healthcare programs (principally, Medicare and state reimbursed programs). As a result, any change in reimbursement regulations, policies, practices, interpretations or statutes could adversely affect the operations of the Company. There are also state and federal civil and criminal statutes imposing substantial penalties (including civil penalties and criminal fines and imprisonment) on healthcare providers that fraudulently or wrongfully bill governmental or other third-party payors for healthcare services. The Company believes it is in material compliance with such laws, but there can be no assurance that the Company's activities will not be challenged or scrutinized by governmental authorities or that any such challenge or scrutiny would not have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. Certain provisions of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the "Anti-Kickback Statute", prohibit the offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the referral of Medicare or state health program patients or patient care opportunities, or in return for the recommendation, arrangement, purchase, lease or order of items or services that are covered by Medicare or state health programs. Many states have adopted similar prohibitions against payments intended to induce referrals of Medicaid and other third-party payor patients. The Anti-Kickback Statute contains provisions prescribing civil and criminal penalties to which individuals or providers who violate such statute may be subjected. The criminal penalties include fines up to $25,000 per violation and imprisonment for five years or more. Additionally, the DHHS has the authority to exclude anyone, including individuals or entities, who has committed any of the prohibited acts from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. If applied to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated physicians, such exclusion could result in a significant loss of reimbursement for the Company, up to a maximum of the approximately 11% of the revenues of the Company's affiliated physician groups, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. Although the Company believes that it is not in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute or similar state statutes, its operations do not fit within any of the existing or proposed federal safe harbors. 8
POS AM12th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Significant prohibitions against physician referrals were enacted by the federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. Subject to certain exemptions, a physician or a member of his immediate family is prohibited from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity providing "designated health services" in which the physician has an ownership or investment interest or with which the physician has entered into a compensation arrangement. While the Company believes it is in compliance with such legislation, future regulations could require the Company to modify the form of its relationships with physician groups. Some states have also enacted similar self-referral laws, and the Company believes it is likely that more states will follow. The Company believes that its practices fit within exemptions contained in such statutes. Nevertheless, expansion of the operations of the Company into certain jurisdictions may require structural and organizational modifications of the Company's relationships with physician groups to comply with new or revised state statutes. Such structural and organizational modifications could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. The Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 (the "Knox-Keene Act") and the regulations promulgated thereunder subject entities which are licensed as healthcare service plans in California to substantial regulation by the California Department of Corporations (the "DOC"). In addition, licensees under the Knox-Keene Act are required to file periodic financial data and other information (which generally become available to the public), maintain substantial tangible net equity on their balance sheets and maintain adequate levels of medical, financial and operational personnel dedicated to fulfilling the licensee's statutory and regulatory requirements. The DOC is empowered by law to take enforcement actions against licensees that fail to comply with such requirements. On March 5, 1996, the DOC issued to Pioneer Provider Network, Inc. ("PPN"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, a healthcare service plan license (the "Restricted License"). PPN is a recently created organization without an operating history, and there is no assurance that the DOC will view PPN's operations to be fully in compliance with applicable laws, including the Knox-Keene Act, and regulations. Any material non-compliance could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. RISKS RELATING TO PHARMACY LICENSING AND OPERATION The Company is subject to federal and state laws and regulations governing pharmacies. Federal controlled substance laws require the Company to register its pharmacies with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and comply with security, record-keeping, inventory control and labeling standards in order to dispense controlled substances. State controlled substance laws require registration and compliance with the licensing, registration or permit standards of the state pharmacy licensing authority. State pharmacy licensing, registration and permit laws impose standards on the qualifications of the applicant's personnel, the adequacy of its prescription fulfillment and inventory control practices and the adequacy of its facilities. In general, pharmacy licenses are renewed annually. Pharmacists must also satisfy state licensing requirements. Any failure to satisfy such pharmacy licensing statutes and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the operating results and financial condition of the Company. RISKS RELATING TO HEALTHCARE REFORM; PROPOSED LEGISLATION As a result of the continued escalation of healthcare costs and the inability of many individuals to obtain health insurance, numerous proposals have been, and other proposals may be, introduced in the United States Congress and state legislatures relating to healthcare reform. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate content, timing or effect of any healthcare reform legislation, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential legislation, which may be material, on the Company. ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS Certain provisions of the Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the Company's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") and the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") could, together or separately, discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company. These provisions include a classified Board of Directors and the issuance, without further stockholder approval, of preferred stock with rights and privileges which could be senior to the Company's Common Stock. The Company also is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad 9
POS AM13th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder. In addition, the Company Rights Plan (as defined herein), which provides for discount purchase rights to certain stockholders of the Company upon certain acquisitions of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, may also inhibit a change in control of the Company. POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE There may be significant volatility in the market price for the Common Stock. Quarterly operating results of the Company, changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or the healthcare industry, or other developments affecting the Company or its competitors, could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in recent years, the stock market and, in particular, the healthcare industry segment, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. 10

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise or in negotiated transactions, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market price. The Common Stock may be sold directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, agents or broker-dealers by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (e) through the writing of options on the Common Stock. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales. Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of such shares for which such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent will be negotiated prior to the sale and may be in excess of customary compensation). Such underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and any other participating underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. In connection with such sales, any commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be an underwriting discount or commission under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Common Stock will be borne by the Company. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the Common Stock will be borne by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify certain persons including broker-dealers or agents against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Common Stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware ("DGCL") grants corporations the right to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors in certain circumstances in accordance with provisions therein set forth. The Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating or limiting director liability to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising from acts or omissions in the director's capacity as a director. The provision does not, however, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under the Delaware statutory provision making directors personally liable, under a negligence standard, for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision offers persons who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company protection against awards of monetary damages resulting from breaches of their duty of care (except as indicated above). As a result of this provision, the ability of the Company or a stockholder thereof to successfully prosecute an action against a director for a breach of his duty of care is limited. However, the provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of his duty of care. The Commission has taken the position that the provision will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws. Section 145 of the DGCL grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with the provisions therein set forth. The Company's Second Amended and Restated By-laws provide for mandatory indemnification rights, subject to limited exceptions, to any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company who, by reason of the fact that he or she is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature. Such indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses incurred by such director, officer, employee, or agent in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Company has agreed to indemnify all of its directors and executive officers against liability incurred by them by reason of their services as a director to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law. In addition, the Company has purchased insurance containing customary terms and conditions as permitted by Delaware law on behalf of its directors and officers, which may cover liabilities under the Securities Act.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement; (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
POS AM26th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to Item 14 hereof, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
