(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) DELAWARE 0-12050 52-1528581 (State or other jurisdiction (Commission (IRS Employer of incorporation) File Number) Identification No.) 95 ENTERPRISE, SUITE 100 ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA 92656-2605 (Address of principal executive offices and zip code) (949) 425-4110 (Registrant's telephone number, including area code) (949) 425-4586 (Registrant's facsimile number, including area code) ================================================================================ ITEM 2. ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS Effective as of March 31, 2003, the Registrant acquired all of the capital stock (the ''AMDP Stock'') of Ameritas Managed Dental Plan, Inc., a California dental health maintenance organization ("Dental HMO") (''AMDP''), from its sole stockholder, Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. ("ALIC") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 15, 2003 (the "Agreement") (the ''Transaction''). The Transaction was approved by the California Department of Managed Health Care on March 28, 2003. The Registrant is in the process of merging AMDP into the Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary, SafeGuard Health Plans, Inc., a California corporation ("SafeGuard-California") and a licensee under the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, as amended. The Registrant paid for the AMDP Stock total consideration of $1,100,000 in cash (the "Purchase Price"). The amount of the Purchase Price paid by the Registrant shall be increased by the amount of the Tangible Net Assets, as of the closing date, which exceed the sum of $605,303, or decreased, by the amount by which the Tangible Net Assets, as of the closing date, were less than $605,303 (the "Adjusted Purchase Price"). Such adjustment shall occur within forty-five (45) days of the closing of the Transaction. For purposes of calculating the Adjusted Purchase Price, "AMDP's Tangible Net Assets" means AMDP's total assets less total liabilities, income tax receivable, and deferred taxes, as such terms are defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In exchange for the Purchase Price and any adjustment provided for by the Adjusted Purchase Price, the Registrant received all the issued and outstanding shares of AMDP Stock from ALIC, including but not limited to, all the contracts between AMDP, and its providers, clients, brokers and agents, tangible net assets, which include, but are not limited to, all cash and marketable securities owned by AMDP at closing of the Transaction, and all intangible assets and liabilities not specifically retained by ALIC. The Registrant also agreed to pay ALIC by the twentieth (20th) day of the first full month following the month following the closing date and each of the next fifty-nine (59) consecutive months, a sum equal to ten percent (10%) of the previous month's "AMDP Block of Business." The "AMDP Block of Business" means the monthly revenues collected by the Registrant from individuals or groups enrolled at the time of the closing of the Transaction in an AMDP individual or group Dental HMO contract (1) who remain enrolled in any Registrant or AMDP Dental HMO plan after the closing date; or (2) who reenroll within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date in any Registrant or AMDP Dental HMO plan. The Registrant also entered into a five (5) year Marketing Services Agreement (the "MSA") whereby ALIC will provide marketing services in support of the products offered by SafeGuard-California which shall be offered to ALIC's other clients in California in connection with indemnity/preferred provider organization dental products offered by ALIC. The parties also agreed that ALIC will not, within a five (5) year period immediately following the closing date of the Transaction, have any ownership interest in any corporation or entity that provides or arranges for the provision of Dental HMO benefits in California. AMDP was a wholly owned subsidiary of ALIC, and operated a Dental HMO in six (6) southern counties of the State of California, through a network of approximately 1,100 licensed dentists. The Transaction and subsequent merger of AMDP will result in the transfer of approximately 29,000 Dental HMO members to SafeGuard-California.
