NOTE 2 – GENTIVA MERGER

On October 9, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Gentiva Merger Agreement”) with Gentiva, providing for the Company’s acquisition of Gentiva. On February 2, 2015, the Company consummated the acquisition with one of its subsidiaries merging with and into Gentiva (the “Gentiva Merger”), with Gentiva continuing as the surviving company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

At the effective time of the Gentiva Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Gentiva (“Gentiva Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Gentiva Merger (other than shares held by Kindred, Gentiva and any wholly owned subsidiaries (which were cancelled) and shares owned by stockholders who properly exercised and perfected a demand for appraisal rights under Delaware law), including each deferred share unit, were converted into the right to receive (i) $14.50 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), without interest, and (ii) 0.257 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Kindred common stock, par value $0.25 per share (“Common Stock”) (the “Stock Consideration”). The purchase price totaled $722.3 million and was comprised of $544.8 million of Cash Consideration and $177.5 million of Stock Consideration. The Company also assumed $1.2 billion of long-term debt, which was paid off upon consummation of the Gentiva Merger.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Gentiva Financing Transactions (as defined in Note 12), to fund the Cash Consideration for the Gentiva Merger, repay Gentiva’s existing debt and pay related transaction fees and expenses.
