The Multicare Companies, Inc. By: /s/ James V. McKeon -------------------------------- Name: James V. McKeon Title: Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller Date: October 2, 2001 (1) On June 22, 2000, Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. ("Genesis") and The Multicare Companies, Inc. ("Multicare") each filed voluntary petitions with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to reorganize their respective capital structures under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Genesis and Multicare filed a joint plan of reorganization (the "Plan") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on June 5, 2001, calling for, among other things, the merger of the two companies under the Genesis banner. Under the Plan, the common stock of Multicare will be cancelled and new common stock of reorganized Multicare will be deemed to be allocated to certain of the creditors of the Multicare debtors. By voting for the Plan, such creditors, as persons otherwise entitled to the new common stock of Multicare, will also be deemed to have voted to adopt a plan of merger. The plan of merger provides that such creditors will receive cash, new senior notes, new convertible preferred stock, and new common stock of reorganized Genesis in exchange for the new common stock of reorganized Multicare allocated to them and that a newly created indirect subsidiary of Genesis will be merged into Multicare. The Plan became effective on October 2, 2001.
