EX-2.1: AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
EX-99.1: PRESS RELEASE

Item 1.01. Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement.

     On October 11, 2005, Team Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Team Health Holdings, L.L.C. (“Holdings”), Team Finance LLC (“Team Finance”), Team Health MergerSub, Inc. (“Team MergerSub”), Ensemble Parent LLC (“Purchaser”) and Ensemble Acquisition LLC (“PurchaserSub”). Team Finance is directly owned by Holdings and Team MergerSub is directly owned by Team Finance. Purchaser and PurchaserSub are entities affiliated with The Blackstone Group.

     The Merger Agreement contemplates a reorganization in which Team MergerSub will merge with and into the Company, and each outstanding share of common stock of the Company, except those owned by Holdings (which will be canceled and will cease to exist), will be converted into common units of Holdings (the “Reorganization Merger”). Options to purchase common stock of the Company outstanding at the time of the Reorganization Merger shall be converted into the right to receive from the surviving corporation $59.01 per option in cash, without interest, less the exercise price of such option, subject to certain customary adjustments.

     The Merger Agreement also contemplates a recapitalization in which PurchaserSub will merge with and into Holdings and certain outstanding common units of Holdings will be converted into the right to receive from the Purchaser $59.01 per share in cash, without interest, subject to certain customary adjustments (the “Recapitalization Merger”). Certain outstanding common units of Holdings will be converted on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Units of the surviving company.

     Consummation of the merger is subject to various customary conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the merger and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Purchaser has obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which are subject to customary conditions.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Holdings covenants to cause the Company not to (i) file any amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-1, as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2005, or (ii) to take any steps for the purpose of making the S-1 effective, provided that Holdings may withdraw the filing at any time.

     The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Purchaser will be required to pay Holdings a termination fee of $30 million. The Merger Agreement contemplates consummation of the transaction by February 21, 2006.

     A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.
