Acquisition of Solstas Lab Partners Group

On March 7, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Solstas Lab Partners Group and its subsidiaries ("Solstas") in an all-cash transaction valued at $572 million, or $563 million net of cash acquired. The Company financed the acquisition with borrowings under its secured receivables credit facility and senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The final consideration paid was subject to post closing adjustments related to working capital and other items. Through the acquisition, the Company acquired all of Solstas' operations. Solstas is a full-service commercial laboratory based in Greensboro, North Carolina and operates in nine states throughout the southeastern United States, including the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
    
For the year ended December 31, 2014, Solstas contributed $300 million to the Company's consolidated net revenues and $294 million to operating expenses which included approximately $17 million of restructuring, integration and transaction related costs. Of the $17 million of restructuring, integration and transaction related costs recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014, $4 million and $13 million were in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.
    
Acquisition of Summit Health, Inc.

On April 18, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Summit Health, Inc. ("Summit Health") for $152 million, which consisted of cash consideration of $125 million (which included $10 million of working capital adjustments), or $124 million net of cash acquired, estimated contingent consideration of $22 million and $5 million associated with certain transaction related costs due to the sellers of Summit Health. The contingent consideration arrangement was dependent on the achievement of certain revenue targets in 2015, with a maximum payment of $25 million in 2016. Based on actual 2015 revenue results for Summit Health compared to the earn-out target included in the contingent consideration arrangement, no payment was required, and therefore, the contingent consideration accrual was $0 as of December 31, 2015. Through the acquisition, the Company acquired all of Summit Health's operations. Summit is a provider of on-site prevention and wellness programs. For further details regarding the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration associated with the Summit Health acquisition, see Note 7.

Acquisition of Steward Health Care Systems, LLC's Laboratory Outreach Business

On April 16, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the laboratory outreach service operations of Steward Health Care Systems, LLC ("Steward") for $34 million, which consisted of cash consideration of $30 million and contingent consideration of $4 million. The assets acquired primarily represent tax deductible goodwill and intangible assets, principally comprised of customer-related intangibles. The contingent consideration arrangement secures the seller's compliance with a non-compete agreement under which the Company will pay up to $5 million, ratably through 2018, provided the non-compete agreement is not violated. For further details regarding the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration associated with the Steward acquisition, see Note 7.
        
General    Information

The acquisitions described above were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the acquisitions subsequent to the closing of each acquisition. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the CLP, MemorialCare, Solstas, Summit Health and Steward acquisitions has been allocated to the Company's DIS business. The goodwill associated with the Superior Mobile Medics acquisition has been allocated to the Company's risk assessment services business. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions includes the expected synergies resulting from combining the operations of the acquired business with those of the Company and the value associated with an assembled workforce that has a historical track record of identifying opportunities.

Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects the consolidated statement of operations of the Company as if the acquisitions of Solstas and Summit Health had occurred as of January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired, interest expense associated with debt extinguished prior to the acquisitions, and transaction costs related to the Solstas and Summit Health acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not include the estimated annual synergies expected to be realized upon completion of the integration of Solstas and Summit Health and is not indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been effected on the assumed date. Pre-acquisition financial information for all other acquisitions has not been included in the table below as these acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
