Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On May 30, 2006, Healthways, Inc. (“Healthways”) announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 30, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), with LifeMasters Supported SelfCare, Inc. (“LifeMasters”), pursuant to which LifeMasters will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthways (the “Merger”).
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding capital stock, options and warrants to purchase capital stock of LifeMasters will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the merger consideration, which will be approximately $307,500,000, subject to adjustment for indebtedness at closing and a working capital adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). A portion of the Purchase Price equal to $23,625,000 will be held in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”) for a period of 12 months following the closing of the Merger to satisfy any potential indemnification claims which may be made by Healthways under the terms of the Merger Agreement. An additional $500,000 will be held in escrow to cover any costs or expenses of LifeMasters’ shareholder representative under the Merger Agreement.
     The Merger has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both Healthways and LifeMasters. In addition, LifeMasters has received written consents from shareholders holding the requisite number of shares of capital stock to approve the Merger. The consummation of the Merger is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review. The parties have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, and the Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for both Healthways and LifeMasters.
