Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On July 6, 2006, Primedex Health Systems, Inc., a New York corporation ("Primedex"), entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with PR Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Primedex, Radnet Management, Inc., a California corporation, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Primedex and sole stockholder of PR Acquisition Corporation, and Radiologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Radiologix"), pursuant to which PR Acquisition Corporation will merge with and into Radiologix (the "Merger"), whereupon PR Acquisition Corporation will cease to exist and Radiologix will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Primedex. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which have been approved by each company's Board of Directors, Radiologix shareholders will receive an aggregate consideration of 22,621,922 shares of Primedex and $42,950,000 in cash (cash and stock together, the "Merger Consideration"). Based upon the July 6 closing price of Primedex common stock of $1.75, each Radiologix shareholder would receive $1.84 in cash for each Radiologix share, plus one share of Primedex common stock for total consideration valued at $3.59. Based upon the July 6 closing price of Primedex common stock of $1.75, Radiologix shareholders will collectively own approximately 33% of the Primedex shares on a fully diluted basis. The Merger Agreement also provides Primedex the option to elect to reduce the share consideration by up to 3.5 million shares and to increase the cash consideration by $2 per share for those shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions thereof, each issued and outstanding share of Radiologix's common stock, other than shares owned by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise dissenters' rights under applicable law, will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the per share Merger Consideration. Holders of options exercisable for Radiologix common stock, whose exercise price is less than the value of the per share merger consideration, will receive for each share subject to such options an amount in cash out of the aggregate Merger Consideration equal to the difference between the value of the per share merger consideration and the exercise price of their options. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Primedex and Radiologix and provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either Radiologix or Primedex may be required to reimburse the other for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Merger in an aggregate amount of up to $1 million. The Merger Agreement further provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances Radiologix may be required to pay Primedex a termination fee of $3 million. As a material inducement to the willingness of Primedex to enter into the Merger Agreement, simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, a certain stockholder of Radiologix is entering into a voting agreement with Primedex to vote its shares of Radiologix in favor of the Merger and against any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the Merger. -2- The Merger is expected to be completed in the second half of 2006, subject to regulatory approvals, the approvals of Primedex's and Radiologix's stockholders, as well as other customary closing conditions. Primedex has filed a copy of the Merger Agreement as Exhibit 2.1 to this current report on Form 8-K. You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement for a more complete understanding of the transaction. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.
