Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On July 26, 1996, Genesis Health Ventures, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Genesis"), pursuant to the terms of a certain Purchase Agreement, dated May 3, 1996, as modified by a certain Purchase Agreement Addendum, dated July 24, 1996, acquired the outstanding stock of National Health Care Affiliates, Inc., Oak Hill Health Center, Inc., Derby Nursing Center Corporation, EIDOS, Inc. and VersaLink, Inc. (collectively, "National Health"), for a total consideration of approximately $68,700,000, including assumed debt, subject to adjustment. Prior to the acquisition by Genesis of the stock of National Health, an affiliate of a financial institution purchased nine eldercare centers owned by National Health for $67.7 million and subsequently leased the centers to a subsidiary of Genesis under the terms of operating lease agreements. The cash portion of the purchase price (approximately $51.8 million) was funded with available cash and the repayment of assumed indebtedness (approximately $7.9 million) was financed by borrowings under the Company's bank credit facilities. As a result of the foregoing transactions, Genesis now owns or leases and operates an additional 16 long-term care centers with 2,202 licensed nursing and assisted living beds in Florida (10 centers), Virginia (5 centers) and Connecticut (1 center) and manages four eldercare centers in Colorado with 283 beds pursuant to an agreement which expires in October 1997.
