Item 2.01.           Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

Effective April 14, 2009, Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PMH”), has become the owner of 71.96% of the outstanding common stock of Brotman Medical Center, Inc., a California corporation (“Brotman”).  On that date, the Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) of Brotman was declared effective.  PMH’s entire ownership interest in Brotman is held through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prospect Hospital Advisory Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with PMH, the “Company”).

 

Prior to the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company owned 33.1% of Brotman’s outstanding common stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company acquired an additional 38.86% interest which brought it to its current interest of 71.96%.

 

The Company acquired its pre-Plan ownership interest on August 31, 2005 for a total purchase price of $1,000,000.  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company has made an additional $1,800,000 investment in Brotman and has made a commitment to invest an additional $700,000 within six months after the effective date of the Plan.

 

Brotman incurred significant losses before and after the Company’s initial investment and, on October 25, 2007, it filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  On the same date, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing consulting services agreement with Brotman.  The amendment provides for an increased level of services and responsibility.  Additionally, effective April 22, 2008, Samuel S. Lee (PMH’s CEO and Chairman of the Board) was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Brotman.  After making the changes, Brotman has shown significant signs of financial and operational improvements.  While no assurances can be made, the Company believes that Brotman is well positioned for success following its now effective reorganization.
