Re: Request for Approval- Acquisition of Surgety Center of Duncanville ($1,226,250)

The p urp ose of this memo is to reques t approval to inves t a total of $1.2 million to acquire a 50.1% ownership p osition in Sutgcry Center of Duncanville ("SCD'') located at 1018 East Wheatland Road in Duncanville, Texas, as well as acquire the rights to initiate a new management agreement with the surgery center. The purchas e would be conswnmated by Texas Health Ventures G-roup, ILC ("THVG"). , With your approval, we plan to close by this Friday October 22, with an eff ec tive of November 1, 2010.

Background SCD commenced op era tions in 198.5 and is afour operating room, one procedure room facility . SCD's AAAHC a ccre dita ion was ren ewed in May 2009 and expires on May 15, 2012. t

SCD is owned 41.01% by Symbion, wh o is also the cutte nt management company for the c enter , and 58.99% by physician investors. The facility is located approximately tlu:ee miles from THVG's DeSoto facility, the North Texas Surgery Center. It is anticipated that we will be able to capitalize gi on syner es available between the two centers and eventually merge the Duncanville facility into the ( DeSoto facility within twelve months subsequent to closing se e further iliscussion below).

sen o cc upi es 10,000 square feet of leased space in a building owned by art independent landlord . The original tenn of the lease expires in Febtu:u:y 2013 with two five-'year re new al options as cunent ly written. The lease includes a rental rate equal to $33.10 per sq. ft or $27,583 per month and currently includes an annual increase equal to 3%. The lease includes a guaranty from Symbion for the remainder of the term that will be assumed by THVG (with a guaranty fee being charged to the physicians). 'The present value obligation of the guaranty of the lease tlu:ough the remainder of·

the term is $713 thousand.

Transaction Overview

THVG will p urchase a 50.1% interest and enter into a management agreement for cash consideration equal to $1,226,250 in the aggregat e. This is bas ed on an equity valuation equal to $1,250,000 (or $626,250 for 50.1%) and a management fcc valuation equal to $600,000, both as independently verified by Valu e Management Group.

Based on. the proximity of SCD with ou:r DeSoto center, it isbelieved that there a.re opera tional and cost synergies available throu gh a !Ilerger of SCD into our D es oto facility with operations continuing at the DeSoto facility The transactio n documents will include an agreement from the . · Duncanville physicians to a merger with the DeSoto facility so,metime prior to t he first anniversary of the closing of the purchase ttallsaction. However, the m erger will remain subject to a vote o.f the ig DeSoto p ar tnership. Based o n the due dil ence results, certain capital improvements will need to be made to the Dun canville facility if the facility is not closed at the c onclusi o n of the initiallea.se term.

1bis transaction allows us to move in line with Symbion's expectations from a timing perspectiv e while remaining strategic with the transition an d p ot ential merger process. The remaining lease t� on the SCD lease agre eme nt provides time needed to work oil the potential merger in order to maximize operational proce ss es as well as qualitative processes of patient care.

Physician PrQfile lnere are currendy 18 physician partner s whose ages .range from 40- 58 wlth an avet:age age of 47 years old. The re are currendy three L1 physicians, one L2 physician and fourteen L3 physicians.

1ne agreement requites that all physician partners must attest annu ally that they meet the Safe Harbor criteria. The ph y sician partners have a very good clinical repu tation in the market and are very interested in further improvement by pattnering \vith a company that has greater operation..'l.l leverage within the metroplex.
