The adoption of the Merger Agreement will require the affirmative vote of stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting.  If the Merger Agreement is adopted by Prospect Medical’s stockholders, Merger Sub will merge with and into Prospect Medical, and Prospect Medical will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ivy Holdings.  Upon the completion of the merger, each outstanding share of Prospect Medical common stock will be converted into the right to receive $8.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, except for shares of common stock held by stockholders who perfect appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware law and except for shares of common stock held by Ivy Holdings (including the shares to be contributed to Ivy Holdings by the four Rollover Investors and the eleven employees of Prospect Medical or its subsidiaries who are expected to contribute Prospect Medical common stock to Ivy Holdings (the “ Additional Employee Investors ”)), Merger Sub, any other subsidiary of Ivy Holdings, Prospect Medical or any subsidiary of Prospect Medical.  The Rollover Investors have agreed to contribute, immediately prior to the completion of the merger, in the aggregate, 6,227,824 shares of Prospect Medical common stock to Ivy Holdings in exchange for shares of Ivy Holdings common stock, and the Additional Employee Investors are expected to contribute, immediately prior to the completion of the merger, in the aggregate, 136,765 shares of Prospect Medical common stock to Ivy Holdings in exchange for shares of Ivy Holdings common stock.

The financial projections prepared by Prospect Medical’s senior management in May 2010 are attached hereto as Exhibit (c)(4) and incorporated herein by reference.  Prospect Medical does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose projections as to its future financial performance. The projections were not prepared with a view to public disclosure and are included in this Schedule 13E-3 only because such information was made available, in whole or in part, to Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. and prospective buyers that executed confidentiality agreements during the go-shop period provided for in the Merger Agreement.  The projections also were provided to our board of directors, the special committee and the special committee’s financial advisor, UBS Securities LLC.  The projections were not prepared with a view to compliance with published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm has not examined, compiled or otherwise applied procedures to the projections included in Exhibit (c)(4) to this Schedule 13E-3 and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for, and expresses no opinion on, them.
