Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 26, 2009, on August 19, 2009, we at Graymark Healthcare, Inc. caused our subsidiary, SDC Holdings, LLC (“SDC”), to execute a Stock Sale Agreement with AvastraUSA, INC. (“Seller”) and Avastra Sleep Centres Limited providing for the purchase of the outstanding stock of somniTech, Inc. and somniCare, Inc. (the “Somni Stock”) and Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc. (the “Eastern Stock”). On August 23, 2009, the First Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement was executed, which amended the earlier executed Stock Sale Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”). SDC’s obligation to purchase the Somni Stock did not become binding until 5:00 p.m. CDT on August 23, 2009.
On September 15, 2009, the Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement, which amended the earlier executed Purchase Agreement and the terms of SDC’s purchase of the Eastern Stock, was executed and we completed the purchase of the Eastern Stock. SDC purchased the Eastern Stock for the following (collectively the “Eastern Purchase Price”):
    SDC’s assumption of the earnout obligations and liabilities of Avastra Sleep Centres Limited under the Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 10, 2007 as they become due;
 
    the payment of $1,156,000 (in accordance with the directions of Seller) to the Seller; and
 
    the delivery to Avastra Sleep Centres Limited (at the direction of Seller) 652,795 shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $1,344,000.
The common stock to be issued for the Eastern Stock will be subject to a 12-month lockup agreement prohibiting the transfer of the shares for a period of 12 months and for the following 12 months permitting the transfer 25% of the shares in any three month period. Furthermore, for so long as Avastra Sleep Centres Limited owns 100,000 or more common stock shares a representative of Seller may serve as an advisory (non-voting) member of our board of directors; provided, however, that Seller’s designated representative must be acceptable to our Chairman of the Board. Seller’s representative while serving as an advisory (non-voting) member of our Board of Directors will be entitled to receive all notices of and written consents in lieu of meetings and may attend all meetings of directors. All fees, costs and expenses associated with the Advisory Director’s attendance at all meetings of directors, including, but not limited to, roundtrip commercial first class airfare, accommodations at a hotel of such Advisory Director’s reasonable choosing and reimbursement for any meals and other transportation expenses reasonably incurred by the Advisory Director in connection with his or her attendance at such meetings of directors will be paid by us up to a maximum of US$5,000 per meeting.
The Eastern Purchase Price was based on certain assumptions (collectively, the “Assumptions”). If any of the Assumptions are proven to be inaccurate, SDC will have a claim, for the damages actually incurred by SDC solely as follows:
    against Seller for an 18-month period following September 14, 2009 limited to $3,000,000; and
 
    against Avastra Sleep Centres Limited until September 14, 2010 and solely to the extent of the “market value” of the 652,795 common stock shares delivered to Avastra Sleep Centres Limited. Furthermore, after September 14, 2014, a claim may be brought for an Assumption being proven to be inaccurate against Avastra Sleep Centres Limited for an additional six-month period, but only to the “market value” of

1


 

    (i) the 489,596 common stock shares during the three-month period ending December 13, 2010,
 
    (ii) the 326,398 common stock shares during the three-month period ending March 13, 2011, and
 
    (iii) 163,199 common stock shares during the three-month period ending June 13, 2011.
For this purpose, “market value” of the common stock shares will be based upon the average closing sale price of our common stock shares for the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day of payment of SDC’s claim by Avastra Sleep Centres Limited.
The Assumptions are the following:

    Cash Balances. The cash available in the bank accounts of the Eastern Entity as of September 14, 2009 is substantially the same as reflected in the 2009 Balance Sheet, subject to changes for deposits and payments in the ordinary course of business.
 
    Asset Information. All fixed assets on the 2009 Balance Sheet represent identifiable assets of the Eastern Entity.
 
    Accounting Policies. Since July 1, 2007, there have been no changes in accounting policy, method or estimates that impacted the recorded revenue of the Eastern Entity in fiscal year 2008 or 2009.

          (t) Directed Payments. All payments and all obligations assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are in consideration of the acquisition of the Somni Stock and the Eastern Stock from Seller. Any payments to Parent by Buyer or obligations of Parent assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement are being paid to Parent or assumed by Buyer, as the case may be, for the benefit of Seller and at Seller’s direction in partial payment of the outstanding principal balance of existing debt obligations of Seller owed to Parent (the “Debt Obligations”). The gross amount of stated interest payable with respect to the Debt Obligations on the date hereof, calculated in accordance with United States Treasury Regulation 1.1441-3(b)(1) is $3,423,730. Parent does not carry on business in the United States through a “permanent establishment” as that term is defined in Article 5 of the Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Australia for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion With Respect to Taxes on Income, dated August 6, 1982.
     6. Remedies for Breach. If any of the Assumptions prove to be inaccurate, Buyer shall have a claim for the damages actually incurred by Buyer as a result of the particular Assumptions being inaccurate, solely as follows:
          (a) against Seller and only for a period of eighteen (18) months following September 14, 2009. Furthermore, Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for all such claims shall be $3,000,000; and
          (b) against Parent for a period of one (1) year following September 14, 2009 and solely to the extent of the Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark”) common stock delivered to Parent in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Eastern Stock (the “Graymark Stock”) as described in Section 3(b)(iii) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the one-year limitation described immediately above, the parties agree that, after such one year period, a claim may be brought for an Assumption being proven to be inaccurate against the Parent for an additional period of six (6) months, but only to the extent of the Graymark Stock that remains subject to a prohibition on transfer as set forth in the Lock-Up and Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2009, by and among Graymark, Parent, Buyer and Seller. For

-5-


 

purposes of illustration, the parties intend that on the first day of the first month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009 that only seventy-five percent (75%) of the Graymark Stock issued to Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby, and that on the first day of the fourth month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009, that only fifty percent (50%) of the Graymark Stock issued to Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby, and that on the first day of the seventh month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009, that no Graymark Stock issued to the Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby.
     The parties further agree that no claim may be brought for any Assumption being proven to be inaccurate, regardless of the amount of the claim, against any of Parent’s officers or directors, or the administrators of Parent, or liquidators appointed to Parent, or any of the officers or directors of Seller. The remedies described in this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims of any Assumptions being proven to be inaccurate. To the extent this Section 6 is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 6(b) of the Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 shall prevail.
     Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement, this Amendment, or the Lock-Up and Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Graymark, SDC, Parent and Seller (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) to the contrary, no claim for damages by Buyer may be satisfied by offset against the Graymark Stock unless (i) Parent consents to the settlement of such claim or (ii) a binding decision is made by an arbitrator with regard to such claim (in accordance with Section 10 of the Agreement) where the Parent was a named party to the arbitration.
     The parties acknowledge and agree that the Assumptions are being used to allocate various risks between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller and Parent, on the other hand, and whilst there may be inaccuracies in the Assumptions it is understood that no inference of intent, fraud, misrepresentation or the like on the part of Seller and Parent should be drawn from the existence of any such inaccuracies.
     7. Section 10 of Agreement. Section 10 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     10. Arbitration. In the event of any dispute or any action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the parties shall resolve such dispute only by arbitration with a single arbitrator, conducted in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Notwithstanding the choice of law provisions set forth in Section 9, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all proceedings brought hereunder.”
     8. Delivery of Stock Certificates. As soon as practical after the date hereof, Buyer shall cause a certificate representing the Graymark Stock to be issued by Graymark in the name of Parent and delivered to Buyer to be held pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement. Upon receipt of the certificate, Buyer shall provide a copy to Parent.

-6-


 

     9. Ratification. Except as amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.
     10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed executed in any number of counterparts. A counterpart may be a facsimile or an electronic copy. Together all counterparts make up one document.
     11. Withholding Cooperation. With respect to the Withholding Amount identified in the Closing Statement dated on or about the date hereof and executed in connection with the closing of the sale and acquisition of the Eastern Stock (the “Withholding Amount”), Buyer agrees (i) to promptly remit to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) the Withholding Amount; (ii) to, promptly after such remittance, verify to Parent in writing such remittance and, all to the extent available to Buyer under the electronic filing procedures prescribed by the IRS, provide to Parent copies of the final return(s) accompanying such remittance, as well as evidence of the remittance itself; (iii) to, thereafter, take, at the request of Parent, all other actions, execute all documents and provide all information as reasonably requested or necessary to assist Parent with obtaining a refund of the Withholding Amount from the IRS; (iv) other than the withholding and remittance of the Withholding Amount pursuant to United States Treasury Regulation 1.1441-3(b)(1), not to take any position or action inconsistent with the intent and understanding of Parent and Seller that all payments paid to Parent or obligations assumed by Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to the Agreement, as amended, were in partial payment of the outstanding principal balance (and not interest payments) on the Debt Obligations; and (v) that Parent shall be entitled to any refunded amount of the Withholding Amount, that any refunded amount shall not be deemed an adjustment to the purchase price for the Somni Stock or the Eastern Stock, and that neither Buyer nor Graymark shall have any right to any portion thereof. The parties agree that all actions taken pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, and all actions taken at the request of Parent pursuant to subparagraph (iii) above shall be at the sole cost and expense of Parent.

     D. Pursuant to the Stock Sale Agreement, the Stock Consideration shall be subject to the terms of a lock-up agreement.
     E. SDC may make claims against Parent pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof (a “Claim”).
     F. The parties desire to enter into this Agreement contemporaneously with the closing of the purchase of the Eastern capital stock to (i) provide for the issuance of the Stock Consideration, (ii) restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or alienation of the Stock Consideration, (iii) provide for the pledge of the Stock Consideration to SDC to secure SDC’s rights to make a Claim against the Stock Consideration, and (iv) provide for the procedures for asserting and recovering for a Claim against the Stock Consideration, all on the terms set forth below.

As of their respective dates, none of the Company SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except for such statements, if any, as have been corrected by subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
          (c) No person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the sale of the Stock Consideration.

          (c) Once Parent is entitled to sell shares of the Company Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 4(a), which shares are represented by a certificate on which appears a legend referencing the restrictions set forth in Section 4(a), the Company shall deliver to Parent (i) a replacement certificate without such legend for such shares within five (5) business days of Parent’s request therefor and delivery to the Company of the certificate bearing such restrictive legend (the “original certificate”) and (ii) a replacement certificate with the restrictive legend for any additional shares evidenced by the original certificate that remain subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4(a).
     5. Stock Pledge.
          (a) Parent hereby pledges and grants to SDC a security interest in all of the Restricted Company Common Stock.

The Company shall deliver the stock certificates for the Restricted Company Common Stock directly to SDC upon the date of this Agreement. Additionally, Parent shall execute an assignment separate from certificate with respect to the Restricted Company Common Stock and deliver it to SDC upon closing of this Agreement.
          (c) That portion of the Restricted Company Common Stock that is pledged pursuant to Section 5(a) above, shall secure the payment of any and all Claims made by SDC against the Stockholders under the terms of the Stock Sale Agreement, subject to the last

4


 

sentence of the third to last paragraph of Section 6 of the Second Amendment to Stock Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof.
          (d) Following closing of the acquisition of the Eastern capital stock, upon request by SDC, Parent shall execute and deliver any such documents reasonably requested by SDC (including additional blank assignments separate from certificate) to be used by SDC in enforcing its rights under this Agreement.
          (e) During the period any Restricted Company Common Stock is pledged hereunder, Parent shall be entitled to vote all such Restricted Company Common Stock, have the inspection rights as a shareholder of the Company (in accordance with applicable Oklahoma law), and receive all dividends or distributions with respect to such Restricted Company Common Stock.
     6. Opinion of Counsel. Subject to the terms of Section 4(a), within ten (10) business days of Parent’s request therefor, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s counsel to deliver to Parent an opinion of counsel in a form satisfactory to the Company, which provides that Parent may sell shares of the Company Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that Parent has satisfied the requirements for such exemptions.
     7. Claim Procedures.
          (a) SDC may make a Claim against the Restricted Company Common Stock by giving notice (a “Notice”) to Parent specifying (i) the Assumption contained in the Stock Sale Agreement that it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles SDC to recovery for a Claim and (ii) in reasonable detail, the damage actually incurred by SDC, and the nature and dollar amount of such Claim.
          (b) If Parent shall give a notice to SDC (a “Counter Notice”) within 30 days following the giving of a Notice disputing the existence of a Claim, SDC and Parent shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in paragraph 6(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to a Claim is received by SDC from Parent within such 30-day period, the Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as defined below) for purposes of this Agreement.
          (c) If Parent delivers a Counter Notice to SDC, Parent and SDC shall, during the period of 60 days following the giving of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing, attempt to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If Parent and SDC shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall execute a written agreement setting forth the terms of such settlement.

          (d) As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7(b) above, (ii) Claim resolved in favor of SDC by settlement pursuant to Section 7(c) above, to the extent that it results in a dollar award to SDC, or (iii) Claim established by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 7(c) above, to the extent that it results in a dollar award to SDC.
          (e) Payment of an Established Claim shall be made in shares of the Company Common Stock pledged to SDC pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of each payment, such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below). After a Claim becomes an Established Claim, SDC shall have the authority to deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with simultaneous notice to Parent (i) stock certificates representing Parent’s Company Common Stock pledged pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any necessary assignments separate from certificate executed by Parent, and (iii) written instructions to transfer to SDC a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Established Claim. The written instructions to the transfer agent shall instruct the transfer agent to issue new certificates in the name of Parent representing the shares of Company Common Stock remaining, if any, after payment of the Established Claim. SDC shall continue to hold any such new certificates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the Company Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day the Established Claim is paid.
          (f) Parent and SDC shall cooperate in all respects with one another in the calculation of any amounts determined to be payable to SDC in accordance with this Agreement and in implementing the procedures necessary to effect such payments.
     8. Release of Pledged Shares. Unless there is a pending Claim at such time, SDC shall release the security interest with respect to shares of Company Common Stock and shall deliver stock certificates representing such shares as promptly as reasonably practicable to Parent and shall execute any and all documents necessary to release the security interest upon the earlier of: (a) such Company Common Stock no longer being Restricted Company Common Stock and (b) eighteen months from the date of this Agreement.
     Any shares of Company Common Stock that were due to be released but were not released because of the existence of a pending Claim shall be promptly released following resolution of all pending Claims pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement. Shares transferred to SDC in payment of an Established Claim shall be counted as shares that have been released when determining the number of shares to release according to the percentages set forth above.
     9. Advisory Director. The Company shall comply with the obligations relating to the Advisory Director (as such term is defined in the Stock Sale Agreement) set forth in Section 3(b)(iii) of the Stock Sale Agreement.
     10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Graymark Healthcare Becomes Second-Largest U.S. Sleep Diagnostic and Treatment Company
Completing Somni and Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers Acquisitions, Graymark Is Poised To Be the Industry’s National Leader in Standards of Patient Care
Oklahoma City—(September 16, 2009)—Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRMH) today announced the acquisition of Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc. from Avastra USA, a division of Avastra Sleep Centres Limited (ASX: AVS), a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Graymark will change Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc.’s name to Nocturna East, Inc. Late last month, Graymark acquired somniCare, Inc. and somniTech, Inc. from Avastra. With these acquisitions, Graymark becomes the second-largest U.S. sleep diagnostic and treatment company, owning and/or operating 28 free-standing sleep care centers and contracting with 62 hospitals in 11 states.
“This acquisition helps us achieve scale and geographical breadth as we become a national leader in quality sleep medicine,” said Graymark CEO Stanton Nelson. “As this industry matures, our high standards for specialized physician-supervised diagnostics and therapies will ensure that patients around the country can receive the care they need.”
“I speak on behalf of all Nocturna East employees when I say we are proud to be a part of the Graymark family,” said Dr. Dan Rifkin, the President of Nocturna East, Inc. “Graymark is the future of sleep medicine, not only in terms of nationally providing the necessary resources for the provision of high-quality care in sleep medicine, but also in seeing the regulatory reform to come and taking action now to prepare for it.”
Graymark is a diversified medical holding company. After the acquisitions, Graymark projects annual revenue of approximately $120 million and will have 554 employees total with approximately 250 working in the sleep side of the business. In addition to owning and operating diagnostic sleep centers that treat a wide range of sleep disorders, Graymark owns and operates independent retail pharmacies under its ApothecaryRx subsidiary in five states, and a medical equipment company that provides both disposable and durable medical equipment.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that 50-70 million Americans suffer from sleep-related problems. As the public and medical community have become increasingly aware of the importance of the accurate diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, demand for sleep medicine is rising at a rapid rate.
Graymark provides patients with the highest standards of care and treatment uniformly in the company’s facilities. With these acquisitions, Graymark’s size will ensure that the company can meet the growing demand for its medical services. Graymark has set the standard for quality care and has been acknowledged for its work:
    Advance Magazine for Respiratory Care named one of Graymark’s facilities one of the top three U.S. sleep-medicine facilities;
 
    Before any study, all patients have the opportunity to be seen in clinic by Graymark’s local medical director and clinical staff;
 
    All Graymark patients are treated by a physician who is board certified in sleep medicine;
 
    Graymark’s commitment to patient care has led to their sleep apnea patients who participate in their proprietary CPAP Success Program having a treatment compliance rate of over 83% versus the national average of just 50%;
 
    Graymark’s facilities use the gold standards of care set by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine; and
 
    Graymark had the first free-standing sleep facility to be accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in the State of Oklahoma.
Some common primary sleep disorders are sleep apnea, insomnia, circadian rhythm disruption, and narcolepsy. Risks associated with sleep apnea include heart disease, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, stroke, diabetes, and fatigue-related motor vehicle accidents.
“We are on a path to becoming this market’s national leader. In addition, our commitment to anticipating and complying with a rapidly evolving state and federal regulatory and legal framework for sleep medicine is second to none,” added Mr. Nelson.
A Frost & Sullivan report estimates that the U.S. market for all sleep diagnostic services is more than $3.5 billion for 2009, and that the average industry growth rate in revenues from 2004-2011 is over 15%.
Graymark will now help patients in 11 states: New York; Texas; Florida; Nevada; Missouri; Kansas; Oklahoma; Minnesota; Iowa; Nebraska; and South Dakota.

 


 

Graymark plans to continue its growth both internally and through strategic acquisitions within the medical industry.
