Sale of Home Health Business

On March 31, 2014, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the Company’s Home Health Services segment (the “Home Health Business”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2014 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), as amended, by and among LHC Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Buyer”) and the Company and Elk Valley Professional Affiliates, Inc. (“EVPA”), South Mississippi Home Health, Inc. (“SMHH”), and Deaconess Homecare, LLC (collectively the “Seller”). The Buyer agreed to acquire the Home Health Business, consisting of (1) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of EVPA owned by the Seller, (2) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SMHH owned by the Seller, and (3) all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in two limited liability companies (collectively, the “Holding Newcos” and, together with EVPA and SMHH, the “Subject Companies”) that were wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Seller, formed for the purpose of the sale to hold indirectly the Seller’s other assets and operating liabilities related to the operation of the Home Health Business. On the closing date, the Company also entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with the closing. The Amendment modified the Stock Purchase Agreement to (i) exclude from the home health business conducted by the Company at one of its locations, and (ii) reduce by $0.5 million the total consideration to be received by the Company, to approximately $59.5 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company received total consideration of approximately $59.5 million paid in cash (the “Purchase Price”) at closing. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale to pay down a portion of the Company’s outstanding debt. Subsequently, the Purchase Price was adjusted for net working capital of the Subject Companies as of the closing date that resulted in an additional payment to the Company of approximately $1.1 million. As a result of this adjustment, the final Purchase Price received by the Company was approximately $60.6 million. The Company has classified the net proceeds received from this sale in cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The sale of the Home Health Business is consistent with the Company’s continuing strategic evaluation of its non-core businesses and its decision to continue to focus growth initiatives and capital in the Infusion Services segment. As a result, the Company decided in the second quarter of 2014 to cease the material portion of its Home Health operations at the one location excluded from the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, and has reclassified its operations to discontinued operations for all prior periods in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations previously reported by the Company as of March 31, 2014 have been reclassified to include this Home Health location in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes. The effect of this reclassification reduced total revenue by $0.4 million to $239.3 million and reduced loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes by $0.2 million to $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported net loss or net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of the March 31, 2014 closing date of the sale of the Home Health Business, the carrying value of the net assets of the Subject Companies was as follows (in thousands):

Operating expenses during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily consist of legal fees related to the legal proceedings discussed in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies and facilities costs.

Effective January 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Stipulation and Order of Settlement and Dismissal (the “Federal Settlement Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and a qui tam relator (the “Relator”). The Federal Settlement Agreement represented the federal and private component of an agreement in principle to settle all civil claims under the False Claims Act and related statutes and all common law claims that could have been brought by the DOJ and Relator that arose out of the distribution of the Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation’s product Exjade® (the “Medication”) by the Company’s traditional and specialty pharmacy mail operations and community retail pharmacy stores prior to its divestiture in May 2012. Further, effective February 11, 2014, the Company entered into State Settlement Agreements with the offices of the Attorneys General of thirty-four states (the “Settling States”). The State Settlement Agreements represented the state component of the Company’s agreement in principle to settle the claims that could have been brought by the Settling States that arose out of the distribution of the Medication. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company accrued $15.0 million related to the Settlement Agreements and included the amount and related legal fees and expenses in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies). Cash payments of $6.1 million and $3.0 million related to the Settlement Agreements were made to the DOJ and Settling States in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, cash payments of $0.3 million and $0.4 million were paid to the Relator in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were accruals of $8.6 million and $13.0 million, respectively, related to these costs in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
