ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. Effective June 16, 2000, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, Putnam Community Medical Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (the "Company"), acquired substantially all of the assets of Putnam Community Medical Center from Putnam Hospitals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HCA - The Healthcare Company ("HCA"). These assets included a 141-bed, acute care facility that has more than 500 employees, 90 medical staff members in 20 specialties, and serves North Central Florida. The facility is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Company expects to continue operating Putnam Community Medical Center as a general acute care hospital facility. The purchase price for the hospital was approximately $43.5 million, with anticipated subsequent post-closing adjustments for net working capital and capital lease obligations assumed by the Company. The purchase price was paid in cash and was determined through arms length negotiations between the Company and HCA. To finance the acquisition of the facility, the Company used existing cash balances and borrowings under its credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Fleet National Bank. The Company was established in May 1999 as a spin-off to the stockholders of HCA. As a result of the acquisition of Putnam Community Medical Center, the Company now owns 22 hospitals in non-urban areas. ITEM 7.
