As part of the transaction pursuant to which the Investors (as defined below) agreed to provide a commitment to purchase all the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) not sold in the Issuer’s anticipated Rights Offering (as defined below), the Issuer, among other things, granted the Investors the Option.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Subordinated Bridge Note

On October 23, 2014, the Issuer issued to CCP, CCP2, CCC and Blackwell (collectively, the “Investors”) a 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65.5 million (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of September 30, 2018 and accrues interest at a rate of 14.0% per annum, subject to additional penalty interest up to an aggregate of 18.5% per annum. Interest from the issuance date to, but excluding, the 120th day after the issuance date, was paid in cash in the amount of $3,014,795 on the issuance of the Note. Thereafter interest shall be payable by increasing the principal amount of the Note as pay-in-kind interest and shall be paid quarterly, in arrears. The Issuer used the proceeds from the issuance of the Note to finance, in part, the Issuer’s October 23, 2014 acquisition (the “Matrix Acquisition”) of CCHN Group Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Community Care Health Network, Inc. (dba Matrix Medical Group), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2014. Upon consummation of the Rights Offering and the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, the Note is to be paid off (in whole or in part, as the case may be) with the net proceeds received from the Rights Offering.

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, which is listed as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.

Standby Purchase Agreement

Within 120 days of October 23, 2014, the closing date of the Matrix Acquisition, the Issuer plans to complete a registered Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering”), by issuing all of the Issuer’s existing holders of Common Stock non-transferrable subscription rights to purchase their pro rata share of $65.5 million of Series A Preferred Stock at a price that is expected to be equal to $100.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Subscription Price”). The Series A Preferred Stock is expected to convert into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88, which was the closing price of Issuer’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014. In connection with the anticipated Rights Offering, on October 23, 2014 the Issuer entered into a standby purchase agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) with the Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors have agreed to purchase, substantially simultaneously with the completion of the Rights Offering, in the aggregate, all of the available Series A Preferred Stock not otherwise sold in the Rights Offering following the exercise of the subscription privileges of holders the Common Stock. As part of the transaction, on October 23, 2014 the Issuer paid the Investors a fee of $2,947,000. In addition, the Investors will have the Option, exercisable within 30 days following the completion of the Rights Offering, to purchase additional Series A Preferred Stock with a value based on the Subscription Price of $100 at a price per share equal to 105% of the Subscription Price (For the avoidance of doubt, if the option is exercised in full, the Investors would pay an aggregate price of $15.75 million and receive 150,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock).

CUSIP No. 743815102 (Common Stock)

The foregoing description of the Standby Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Standby Purchase Agreement, which is listed as Exhibit 3 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is amended and supplemented as follows:

The information relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by each of the Filers set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. The percentages set forth in Row 13 for all cover pages filed herewith are calculated based upon 16,866,923 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 23, 2014, based on information provided by the Issuer.

The Filers have not effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the sixty days preceding the filing of this Amendment.

The information in Item 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

CCM is an investment adviser whose clients, including CCP, CCP2, CCC and Blackwell, have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock. CC is the general partner of CCP, CCP2 and CCC. Gray and Shackelton are the managers of CC and CCM.
