1. General

Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc., formerly known as CDRT Holding Corporation, is organized as a holding company that operates through various subsidiaries. Envision Healthcare Corporation, formerly known as Emergency Medical Services Corporation, (“Corporation”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to reflect the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for interim reporting, and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information on the Company’s significant accounting policies and other information, see the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

On July 29, 2013, the Company effected a 9.3 for 1.0 stock split of its common stock, resulting in 132,082,885 shares of common stock issued, not including 504,197 treasury shares. The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented.

On August 13, 2013, the Company’s registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for an initial public offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) was declared effective. On February 5, 2014, the Company registered the offering and sale of 31,625,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) by certain stockholders of the Company at a public offering price of $30.50 per share. On July 10, 2014, the Company registered the offering and sale of 31,625,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) by certain stockholders of the Company at a public offering price of $34.00 per share. On September 23, 2014, the Company registered the offering and sale of 17,500,000 shares of Common Stock by certain stockholders of the Company. The shares were sold to the underwriter for $34.97 per share and the underwriter offered the shares to the public from time to time at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. See Note 2 for further information on the Company’s public offerings and its equity.

The Company’s business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, EmCare Holdings, Inc. (“EmCare”), its facility-based and post-acute care physician services segment, and American Medical Response, Inc. (“AMR”), its healthcare transportation services segment.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Corporation, EmCare and AMR and their respective subsidiaries and affiliated physician groups. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations, financial condition and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements including, but not limited to, estimates and assumptions for accounts receivable and insurance related reserves. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Insurance Collateral

Insurance collateral is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasuries and marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary that supports the Company’s insurance program and reserves, as well as cash deposits with third parties. Certain of these investments, if sold or otherwise liquidated, would have to be replaced by other suitable financial assurances and are, therefore, considered restricted. These investments are designated as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with the related temporary unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income tax. Declines in the fair value of a marketable investment security which are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in the statements of operations, thus establishing a new cost basis for such investment. Investment income earned on these investments is reported as interest income from restricted assets in the statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Realized gains and losses are determined based on an average cost basis.

Insurance collateral also includes a receivable from insurers of $1.8 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for liabilities in excess of the Company’s self-insured retention.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, net

The Company estimates its allowances based on payor reimbursement schedules, historical collections and write-off experience and other economic data. The Company’s billing systems do not provide contractual allowances or uncompensated care reserves on outstanding patient accounts. The allowance for uncompensated care is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients and is not recorded on specific accounts due to the volume and variability of individual patient receivable collections. While the billing systems do not specifically record the allowance for doubtful accounts to individual accounts owed or specific payor classifications, the portion of the allowance for uncompensated care associated with fee-for-service charges as of December 31, 2013 was equal to approximately 87% and 89% of outstanding self-pay receivables for EmCare and AMR, respectively, consistent with the Company’s collection history. Account balances are charged off against the uncompensated care allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered and to the contractual allowance when payment is received. The Company’s accounts receivable and allowances as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Gross trade accounts receivable	$	4,691,710		$	3,841,672
Allowance for contractual discounts	(2,525,606		)	(2,002,704		)
Allowance for uncompensated care	(1,252,719		)	(1,038,833		)
Trade accounts receivable, net	913,385			800,135
Other receivables, net	28			1,011
Trade and other accounts receivable, net	$	913,413		$	801,146

Other receivables primarily represent employee advances and other miscellaneous receivables.

Accounts receivable allowances at EmCare are estimated based on cash collection and write-off experience at a facility level contract and facility specific payor mix. These allowances are reviewed and adjusted monthly through revenue provisions. The Company continuously compares actual cash collected on a date of service basis to the revenue recorded for that period and records any adjustment necessary for an overage or deficit in these allowances based on actual collections.

AMR contractual allowances are determined primarily on payor reimbursement schedules that are included and regularly updated in the billing systems, and by historical collection experience. The billing systems calculate the difference between payor specific gross billings and contractually agreed to, or governmentally driven, reimbursement rates. The allowance for uncompensated care at AMR is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. AMR’s allowances on self-pay accounts receivable are estimated based on historical write-off experience.

Business Combinations

Assets and liabilities of an acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the acquisition consideration allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period any subsequent adjustments are recorded as expense.

Table of Contents

Insurance Reserves

Insurance reserves are established for automobile, workers compensation, general liability and professional liability claims utilizing policies with both fully-insured and self-insured components. This includes the use of an off-shore captive insurance program through a wholly-owned subsidiary for certain liability programs for both EmCare and AMR. In those instances where the Company has obtained third-party insurance coverage, the Company normally retains liability for the first one million dollars to three million dollars of the loss. Insurance reserves cover known claims and incidents within the level of Company retention that may result in the assertion of additional claims, as well as claims from unknown incidents that may be asserted arising from activities through the balance sheet date.

The Company establishes reserves for claims based upon an assessment of actual claims and claims incurred but not reported. The reserves are established based on quarterly consultation with third-party independent actuaries using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider a number of factors, including historical claim payment patterns and legal costs, and changes in case reserves and the assumed rate of inflation in healthcare costs and property damage repairs. Claims are discounted at a rate of 1.5%.

The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation was completed in September 2014. As a result of this and previous actuarial valuations, the Company recorded a decrease in its provision for insurance liabilities of $0.7 million and an increase in its provision for insurance liabilities of $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to increases of $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, related to reserves for losses in prior years.

The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $167.6 million and $175.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Equity Structure and Public Offerings

On August 13, 2013, the Company’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for an initial public offering of its Common Stock. The Company registered the offering and sale of 42,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at a price of $23.00 per share. On August 19, 2013, the Company completed the offering of 48,300,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $23.00 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $1,110.9 million, and the offering terminated. At the closing, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,025.9 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions paid and offering expenses of approximately $85.0 million, including a $20.0 million payment to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”) in connection with the termination of a consulting agreement with the Company (“Consulting Agreement”) which was recorded in the third quarter of 2013 to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations (see Note 13).

Net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to (i) redeem in full the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 for a total of $479.6 million, which included a call premium pursuant to the indenture governing the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017 and all accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) pay CD&R the fee of $20.0 million to terminate the Consulting Agreement, (iii) pay $16.5 million to repay all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings, and (iv) redeem $332.5 million of aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes due 2019 and all accrued but unpaid interest. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes which included, among other things, repayment of indebtedness and acquisitions.

On February 5, 2014, the Company registered the offering and sale of 27,500,000 shares of Common Stock by certain stockholders of the Company and an additional 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock, which were sold by investment funds sponsored by, or affiliated with, CD&R (the “CD&R Affiliates”) to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at $30.50 per share less the underwriting discount. The CD&R Affiliates, certain executive officers and directors of the Company and certain non-executives were the selling stockholders in the offering. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholders, including any shares sold pursuant to any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

On July 10, 2014, the Company registered the offering and sale of 27,500,000 shares of Common Stock by certain stockholders of the Company and an additional 4,125,000 shares of Common Stock, which were sold by the CD&R Affiliates to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares at $34.00 per share less the underwriting discount. The CD&R Affiliates, certain executive officers and directors of the Company and certain non-executives were the selling stockholders in the offering. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholders, including any shares sold pursuant to any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	—		—		7,734		7,734
Interest rate swap	—		3,135		—		3,135

The contingent consideration balance classified as a Level 3 liability has decreased by $5.7 million since December 31, 2013 primarily due to payments made, offset by an increase of $2.0 million from recent acquisitions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the time of service and is recorded net of provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Fee-for-service revenue represents billings for services provided to patients for which the Company receives payment from the patient or their third-party payor. Provisions for contractual discounts are related to differences between gross charges and specific payor, including governmental, reimbursement schedules. Provisions for estimated uncompensated care, or bad debt expense, are related principally to the number of self-pay patients treated in the period and are based primarily on historical collection experience to reduce revenues net of contractual discounts to the estimated amounts the Company expects to collect. Subsidy and fee revenue primarily represent hospital subsidies at EmCare and fees for stand-by services, special event services and community subsidies at AMR.

The majority of the patients the Company treats are for the provision of emergency care in the pre-hospital and hospital settings. Due to federal government regulations governing the provision of such care, the Company is obligated to provide emergency care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay or whether or not the patient has insurance or other third-party coverage for services rendered. While the Company attempts to obtain all relevant billing information at the time the patient is within its care, there are numerous patient encounters where such information is not available. In such cases, the Company’s billing operations will initially classify these patients as self-pay, with the applicable estimated allowance for uncompensated care, while they pursue collection of the account. Over the course of the first 30 to 60 days after these self-pay patients have been treated, the billing staff may identify the appropriate insurance or other third-party payor and re-assign the account from a self-pay payor classification to the appropriate payor. Depending on the final payor determination, the allowances for uncompensated care and contractual discounts will be adjusted accordingly. For accounts that remain classified as self-pay, the billing protocols and systems will generate bills and notifications generally for 90 to 120 days. If no collection or additional information is received from the patient, the account is written-off and sent to a collection agency. The Company’s revenue recognition models, which are reviewed and updated on a monthly basis, consider these events in determining the collectability of accounts receivable.

The Company has historically reported Medicare and Medicaid managed care in the line “Commercial insurance and managed care”. Medicare managed care and Medicaid managed care have been reclassified into the Medicare and Medicaid lines in the current period and all prior periods have been conformed to current period presentation. Net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Healthcare reimbursement is complex and may involve lengthy delays. Third-party payors are continuing their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. The Company has from time to time experienced delays in reimbursement from third-party payors. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, claims for payment based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, determinations of medical necessity, or the need for additional information. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are very complex and subject to interpretation. Revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period in which related services are rendered. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term. Such amounts, including adjustments between provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care, are adjusted in future periods, as adjustments become known. These adjustments in the aggregate decreased the contractual discount and uncompensated care provisions (increased net revenue) by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and increased the contractual discount and uncompensated care provisions (decreased net revenue) by approximately $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and increased the contractual discount and uncompensated care provisions (decreased net revenue) by approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The Company provides services to patients who have no insurance or other third-party payor coverage. In certain circumstances, federal law requires providers to render services to any patient who requires care regardless of their ability to pay. Services to these patients are not considered to be charity care and provisions for uncompensated care for these services are estimated accordingly.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effects, if any, that adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents both basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing “Net income (loss) attributable to Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc.” by the “Weighted-average common shares outstanding” for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock awards were exercised. The potential dilution from stock awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of the Company’s common stock. The following table presents EPS amounts for all periods and the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation (in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

Diluted	$	0.28	$	(0.05	)	$	0.40	$	(0.01	)

The Company had a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013; therefore, the effect of stock awards to purchase common stock of 6,088,252 and 8,663,107, respectively, is excluded from the computations of diluted loss per share since the effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no stock awards of common stock outstanding excluded from the weighted-average common shares outstanding above.

4. Acquisitions

2014 Acquisitions

Phoenix Physicians, LLC (“Phoenix Physicians”) . On June 17, 2014, the Company acquired the stock of Phoenix Physicians for a total purchase price of $169.5 million paid in cash (the “Phoenix Physicians Acquisition”). Phoenix Physicians, in part through management services agreements with professional entities, is engaged in providing medical practices support and emergency department management and staffing services to hospitals, physicians and healthcare facilities in Florida. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Phoenix Physicians using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. All of the goodwill is tax deductible and assigned to the EmCare segment.

The allocation of the purchase price is in the table below, which is subject to adjustment based upon the completion of purchase price allocations (in thousands):

Cash	$	7,052

Total	$	23,372	$	(627	)	$	7,631	$	(183	)

The Company evaluates the investment securities available-for-sale on a quarterly basis to determine whether declines in the fair value of these securities are other-than-temporary. This quarterly evaluation consists of reviewing the fair value of the security compared to the carrying amount, the historical volatility of the price of each security, and any industry and company specific factors related to each security.

The Company is not aware of any specific factors indicating that the underlying issuers of the U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds /fixed income securities would not be able to pay interest as it becomes due or repay the principal amount at maturity. Therefore, the Company believes that the changes in the estimated fair values of these debt securities are related to temporary market fluctuations. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any specific factors which indicate the unrealized losses on the investments in corporate equity securities are due to anything other than temporary market fluctuations.

The Company realized net losses of $0.5 million and net gains of $0.6 million on the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and net gains of $0.2 million and $0.3 million on the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Term Loan Facility

Prior to February 7, 2013, loans under the Term Loan Facility bore interest at the Company’s election at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (x) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“Term Loan LIBOR”) and (y) 1.50%, plus, in each case, 3.75%, or (ii) the base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month Term Loan LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% per annum and (x) 2.50%, plus, in each case, 2.75%.

On February 7, 2013, Corporation, the borrower under the Term Loan Facility, entered into a First Amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Under the Term Loan Amendment, the Company incurred an additional $150 million in incremental borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the ABL Facility. In addition, the rate at which the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest was amended to equal (i) the higher of (x) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars in the London Interbank Market (adjusted for maximum reserves) for the applicable interest period (“LIBOR”) and (y) 1.00%, plus, in each case, 3.00% (with a step-down to 2.75% in the event that the Company meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00), or (ii) the alternate base rate, which will be the highest of (w) the corporate base rate established by the administrative agent from time to time, (x) 0.50% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, (y) the one-month LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 1.00% and (z) 2.00%, plus, in each case, 2.00% (with a step-down to 1.75% in the event that the Company meets a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00). The Company recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.1 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs as a result of this modification.

On June 18, 2014, Corporation issued $750.0 million of senior unsecured notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) the proceeds of which were used to redeem the 2019 Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The Company paid $9.4 million in financing fees to the creditors of the 2022 Notes which was recorded to loss on early debt extinguishment in the second quarter of 2014.

The 2022 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.125%, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 with the principal due at maturity on July 1, 2022. The 2022 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, except for any of the Company’s subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance company, including the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company manages its exposure to changes in fuel prices and interest rates and, from time to time, uses highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

At September 30, 2014, the Company was party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.63 to $3.76 per gallon. The Company purchases the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settles with its counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 0.6 million gallons, which represents approximately 25.2% of the Company’s total estimated usage during the periods hedged, through December 2014. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability and an asset associated with the fair value of the fuel hedge in the amount of less than $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify less than $0.1 million of deferred loss from accumulated other comprehensive income as the related fuel hedge transactions mature. Settlement of hedge agreements are included in operating expenses and resulted in net receipts from the counterparty of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In October 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a total of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 4.49%. The Company will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.0%) and will periodically settle with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income before applicable tax impacts, a liability associated with the fair value of the interest rate swap in the amount of $2.0 million and $3.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $2.0 million of deferred loss from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as the related interest rate swap transactions mature. Settlement of interest rate swap agreements are included in interest expense and resulted in net payments to the counterparties of $0.5 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.5 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

11. Equity Based Compensation

Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, the previous stock compensation plan (“Stock Compensation Plan”) terminated and the Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”) was adopted pursuant to which options and awards with respect to a total of 16,708,289 shares of Common Stock are available for grant. As of September 30, 2014, a total of 16,539,527 shares remained available for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan include both performance and non-performance based awards. As of September 30, 2014, no grants of performance based awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan had been made. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. No participant may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 2.5 million shares of Common Stock or 1.5 million performance awards up to a maximum dollar value of $5.0 million. Non-performance based awards have time-based vesting and performance-based awards vest upon achievement of certain company-wide objectives. All options have 10 year terms.

Awards previously granted under the Stock Compensation Plan were unaffected by the termination of the Stock Compensation Plan; however no future grants will be made under the Stock Compensation Plan.

A compensation charge of $1.1 million and $1.1 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.6 million and $3.2 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements. Rental expense incurred under these leases was $11.3 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $34.0 million and $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company also records certain leasehold improvements and vehicles under capital leases. Assets under capital leases are capitalized using inherent interest rates at the inception of each lease. Capital leases are collateralized by the underlying assets.

Services

The Company is subject to the Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws which prohibit, among other things, any false claims, or any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Violation of these prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management has implemented policies and procedures that management believes will assure that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations but there can be no assurance the Company will not be found to have violated certain of these laws and regulations. From time to time, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies pursuant to their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government agencies in audits or investigations. The Company is cooperating with the government agencies conducting these investigations and is providing requested information to the government agencies. Other than the proceedings described below, management believes that the outcome of any of these investigations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $130.2 million and $129.9 million, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit.

Other Legal Matters

In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present. The subpoena required AMR to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York. The Company produced documents responsive to the subpoena. The government identified claims for reimbursement that the government believes lack support for the level billed, and invited the Company to respond to the identified areas of concern. The Company reviewed the information provided by the government and provided its response. On May 20, 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) in connection with this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, AMR paid $2.7 million to the federal government. In connection with the settlement, the Company entered into a CIA with a five-year period beginning May 20, 2011. Pursuant to this CIA, the Company is required to maintain a compliance program, which includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, training of employees nationwide, safeguards for its billing operations as they relate to services provided in New York, including specific training for operations and billing personnel providing services in New York, review by an independent review organization and reporting of certain reportable events. The Company entered into the settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation, and has not admitted any wrongdoing. In May 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to divest substantially all the assets underlying AMR’s services in New York, although the obligations of the Company’s compliance program will remain in effect following the expected divestiture. The divesture was completed on July 1, 2013.

Four different putative class action lawsuits have been filed against AMR and certain subsidiaries in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws. On April 16, 2008, Laura Bartoni commenced a suit in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda; on July 8, 2008, Vaughn Banta filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles; on January 22, 2009, Laura Karapetian filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles: and on March 11, 2010, Melanie Aguilar filed suit in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The Banta, Aguilar and Karapetian cases have been coordinated in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and the Aguilar and Karapetian cases have subsequently been consolidated into a single action. In these cases, the plaintiffs allege principally that the AMR entities failed to pay wages, including overtime wages, in compliance with California law, and failed to provide required meal breaks, rest breaks or pay premium compensation for missed breaks. The plaintiffs sought to certify classes on these claims and are seeking lost wages, various penalties, and attorneys’ fees under California law. The Court has certified classes in the consolidated Karapetian /Aguilar case on claims alleging that AMR has not provided meal periods in compliance with the law as to dispatchers and call takers, that AMR has an unlawful time round policy, and that AMR has an unlawful practice of setting rates for those employees; the Court denied certification of the rest period claims of these employees. In Banta, the Court denied certification of the meal and rest period claims as to EMTs and paramedics, a decision that is being appealed; the Court indicated that it would certify a class on overtime claims, but plaintiff’s counsel have indicated that they intend to dismiss that claim as AMR’s policy complies with a recent Court of Appeal decision. In Bartoni, the Court denied certification on the meal and rest period claims, but certified a class on the overtime claims, as to which the Company intends to seek summary judgment. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of potential damages, if any in any of these actions.

Merion Capital, L.P. (“Merion”), a former stockholder of Corporation, filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery on June 20, 2011 seeking to exercise its right to appraisal of its holdings in Corporation prior to the merger of Corporation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”) on May 25, 2011. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company expensed $8.4 million of legal settlement costs and $1.9 million of interest. On April 15, 2013, the Company paid $52.1 million in a settlement of Merion’s appraisal action, in which Merion agreed to release its claims against the Company.

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present that appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”). The Company has been cooperating with the government during its investigation and, as such, continues to gather responsive documents. During the months of December 2013 and January 2014, several lawsuits filed by whistleblowers on behalf of the federal and certain state governments against HMA have been unsealed; the Company is a named defendant in two of these lawsuits. Although the federal government intervened in these lawsuits in connection with certain of the allegations against HMA, the federal government has not, at this time, disclosed whether it will intervene in these matters as they relate to the Company. The Company continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives and, at this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

On February 14, 2013, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting documents and other information relating to EmCare’s relationship with Community Health Services, Inc. (“CHS”). The Company is cooperating with the government during its investigation, has provided responsive documents, and is engaged in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives regarding additional requests. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from these investigations.

The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

13. Related Party Transactions

CD&R Affiliates

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company entered into a stockholders agreement (“Stockholders Agreement”) with CD&R Affiliates. Under the Stockholders Agreement, CD&R Affiliates were granted the right to designate for nomination for election a number of CD&R-designated directors equal to: (i) at least a majority of the total number of directors comprising the board of directors at such time as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) at least 40% of the total number of directors comprising the board of directors at such time as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 40% but less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) at least 30% of the total number of directors comprising the board of directors at such time as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 30% but less than 40% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iv) at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising the board of directors at such time as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 20% but less than 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (v) at least 5% of the total number of directors comprising the board of directors at such time as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 5% but less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, a CD&R-designated director will serve as the Chairman of the board of directors as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2014, the CD&R Affiliates owned approximately 27.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

14. Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and activities of Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) to be consolidated if an entity’s interest in the VIE has specific characteristics including: voting rights not proportional to ownership and the right to receive a majority of expected income or absorb a majority of expected losses. In addition, the entity exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the VIE is deemed its primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity.

UHS-EmCare JV

EmCare entered into an agreement in 2014 with Universal Health Services, Inc. to form an entity which would provide physician services to various healthcare facilities (“UHS-EmCare JV”). UHS-EmCare JV began providing services to healthcare facilities during the second quarter of 2014 and meets the definition of a VIE. The Company determined that, although EmCare holds 50% voting control, EmCare is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate this VIE because:

· EmCare provides management services to UHS-EmCare JV including recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, billing, payroll, accounting and other various administrative services and therefore substantially all of UHS-EmCare JV’s activities involve EmCare; and

· as payment for management services, EmCare is entitled to receive a base management fee from UHS-EmCare JV.

The following table summarizes the UHS-EmCare JV assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014, which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

HCA-EmCare JV

EmCare entered into an agreement in 2011 with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HCA Holdings Inc. to form an entity which would provide physician services to various healthcare facilities (“HCA-EmCare JV”). HCA-EmCare JV began providing services to healthcare facilities during the first quarter of 2012 and meets the definition of a VIE. The Company determined that, although EmCare only holds 50% voting control, EmCare is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate this VIE because:

· EmCare provides management services to HCA-EmCare JV including recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, billing, payroll, accounting and other various administrative services and therefore substantially all of HCA-EmCare JV’s activities involve EmCare; and

· as payment for management services, EmCare is entitled to receive a base management fee from HCA-EmCare JV as well as a bonus management fee.

The following table summarizes the HCA-EmCare JV assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

15. Segment Information

The Company is organized around two separately managed business units: facility-based and post-acute care physician services and healthcare transportation services, which have been identified as operating segments. The facility-based and post-acute care physician services reportable segment provides physician services to hospitals primarily for emergency department, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology and surgery services. It also offers physician-led care management solutions outside the hospital. The healthcare transportation services reportable segment focuses on providing a full range of medical transportation services from basic patient transit to the most advanced emergency care and pre-hospital assistance. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) as he assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units.

Net income (loss) before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax benefit (expense), loss on early debt extinguishment, other income (expense), net, realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense, net, equity-based compensation expense, related party management fees, restructuring charges, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the Company’s financial statements as an indicator of financial performance. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined to be in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Pre-tax income from continuing operations represents net revenue less direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for the Company as a whole (see Note 2).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Results

Certain statements and information herein may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Any forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC, and we undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC, including the risks described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Among the factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are: decreases in our revenue and profit margin under our fee-for-service contracts due to changes in volume, payor mix and third party reimbursement rates, including from political discord in the federal budgeting process; the loss of existing contracts; failure to accurately assess costs under new contracts; difficulties in our ability to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals, and enforce our non-compete agreements with our physicians; failure to implement some or all of our business strategies, including our efforts to grow our Evolution Health business and cross-sell our services; lawsuits for which we are not fully reserved; the adequacy of our insurance coverage and insurance reserves; our ability to successfully integrate strategic acquisitions; the high level of competition in the markets we serve; the cost of capital expenditures to maintain and upgrade our vehicle fleet and medical equipment; the loss of one or more members of our senior management team; our ability to maintain or implement complex information systems; disruptions in disaster recovery systems or management continuity planning; our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights or to defend against intellectual property infringement claims; challenges by tax authorities on our treatment of certain physicians as independent contractors; the impact of labor union representation; the impact of fluctuations in results due to our national contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”); potential penalties or changes to our operations, including our ability to collect accounts receivable, if we fail to comply with extensive and complex government regulation of our industry; the impact of changes in the healthcare industry, including changes due to healthcare reform; our ability to timely enroll our providers in the Medicare program; our ability to restructure our operations to comply with future changes in government regulation; the outcome of government investigations of certain of our business practices; our ability to comply with the terms of our settlement agreements with the government; our ability to generate cash flow to service our substantial debt obligations; the significant influence of the CD&R Affiliates over us; and risks related to other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “potential,” “near-term,” “long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

Healthcare Reform

As currently enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) changes how health care services are delivered and reimbursed, and increases access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population in the United States. On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provisions of the PPACA, but struck down the provisions that would have allowed the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to penalize states that do not implement Medicaid expansion provisions through the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding.

Table of Contents

Most of the provisions of the PPACA that seek to decrease the number of uninsured became effective January 1, 2014. Based on the government’s February 2014 projection, by 2022, the PPACA will expand coverage to 25 million additional individuals. This increased coverage will occur through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance and other reforms. The employer mandate, which requires firms with 50 or more full-time employees to offer health insurance or pay fines, has been delayed until January 1, 2015. For employers with 50 to 99 employees, this requirement has been further delayed until January 1, 2016.

A number of states have opted out of the Medicaid expansion, but these states could choose to implement the expansion at a later date. It is unclear how many states will ultimately decline to implement the Medicaid expansion provisions of the law. At this point, we cannot quantify or predict with any certainty the likely impact of the PPACA on our business model, financial condition or results of operations.

Company Overview

We are a leading provider of physician-led, outsourced medical services in the United States with more than 20,000 affiliated clinicians. We market our services on a stand-alone, multi-service and integrated basis, primarily under our EmCare and AMR brands. EmCare is a leading provider of integrated facility-based physician services, including emergency, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient care, radiology, teleradiology and surgery. EmCare also offers physician-led care management solutions outside the hospital. AMR is a leading provider and manager of community based healthcare transportation services, including emergency “911”, non-emergency, managed transportation, fixed-wing ambulance and disaster response.

Key Factors and Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Business

The key factors and measures we use to evaluate our business focus on the number of patients we treat and transport and the costs we incur to provide the necessary care and transportation for each of our patients.

We evaluate our revenue net of provisions for contractual payor discounts and provisions for uncompensated care. Medicaid, Medicare and certain other payors receive discounts from our standard charges, which we refer to as contractual discounts. In addition, individuals we treat and transport may be personally responsible for a deductible or co-pay under their third party payor coverage, and most of our contracts require us to treat and transport patients who have no insurance or other third party payor coverage. Due to the uncertainty regarding collectability of charges associated with services we provide to these patients, which we refer to as uncompensated care, our net revenue recognition is based on expected cash collections. Our net revenue represents gross billings after provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care have increased historically primarily as a result of increases in gross billing rates without corresponding increases in payor reimbursement.

The table below summarizes our approximate payor mix as a percentage of both net revenue and total transports and patient encounters for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. In determining the net revenue payor mix, we use cash collections in the period as an approximation of net revenue recorded. With the expansion of the Medicaid program in certain states, we would expect cash collections related to the Medicaid payor class to continue to increase over time as those collections are received. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company determined that Medicare and Medicaid managed care programs would be better categorized in the Medicare and Medicaid payor class and has reclassified those encounters in the presentation below and conformed prior periods to current period presentation.

	Percentage of Cash Collections (Net Revenue)								Percentage of Total Volume

As illustrated above, Commercial insurance and managed care (excluding Medicare and Medicaid managed care) has consistently represented our largest payor group based on net revenue. Separately, given the emergency nature of many of our services, self-pay (primarily uninsured patients) has represented approximately 16% to 18% of our total patient volume, but is only 3% to 4% of our total cash collections. The decrease in self-pay as a percentage of total revenue over the past three years has been due to additional EmCare service lines with lower self-pay, including our post-acute care services. The decrease in self-pay as a percentage of total volume has been primarily driven by Medicaid expansion evidenced by an approximate 2.3% drop in self-pay volume to 16.4% for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to a self-pay mix of approximately 18.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013.

EmCare

Of EmCare’s net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 73% was derived from our hospital contracts for emergency department staffing, 9% from contracts related to anesthesiology services, 9% from our hospitalist/inpatient services, 4% from our post-acute care services, 2% from our radiology/teleradiology services, 1% from our surgery services, and 2% from other hospital management services. Approximately 85% of EmCare’s net revenue was generated from billings to third party payors and patients for patient encounters and approximately 15% was generated from billings to hospitals and affiliated physician groups for professional services. EmCare’s key net revenue measures are:

· Patient encounters. We utilize patient encounters to evaluate net revenue and as the basis by which we measure certain costs of the business. We segregate patient encounters into four main categories—ED visits, hospitalist encounters, radiology reads, and anesthesiology cases—due to the differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing the various services. As a result of these differences, in certain analyses we weight our patient encounter numbers according to category in an effort to better measure net revenue and costs. In calculating “weighted patient encounters”, each radiology read and anesthesiology case is not counted as a full patient encounter as we apply a discount factor to reflect differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing such services.

· Number of contracts. This reflects the number of contractual relationships we have for outsourced ED staffing, anesthesiology, hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, teleradiology, surgery and other hospital management services. We analyze the change in our number of contracts from period to period based on “net new contracts,” which is the difference between total new contracts and contracts that have terminated.

· Revenue per patient encounter. This reflects the expected net revenue for each patient encounter based on gross billings less all estimated provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care. Net revenue per patient encounter also includes net revenue from billings to third party payors and hospitals.

The change from period to period in the number of patient encounters under our same store contracts is influenced by general community conditions as well as hospital-specific elements, many of which are beyond our direct control. The general community conditions include: (i) the timing, location and severity of influenza, allergens and other annually recurring viruses, and (ii) severe weather that affects a region’s health status and/or infrastructure. Hospital-specific elements include the timing and extent of facility renovations, hospital staffing issues and regulations that affect patient flow through the hospital.

The costs incurred in our EmCare business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for physicians and other professional providers, professional liability costs, and contract and other support costs. EmCare’s key cost measures include:

· Provider compensation per hour of coverage. Provider compensation per hour of coverage includes all compensation and benefit costs for all professional providers, including physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, during each patient encounter. Providers include all full-time, part-time and independently contracted providers. Analyzing provider compensation per hour of coverage enables us to monitor our most significant cost in performing services under our contracts.

· Professional liability costs. These costs include provisions for estimated losses for actual claims, and claims likely to be incurred in the period, based on our past loss experience and actuarial analysis provided by a third party, as well as actual direct costs, including investigation and defense costs, claims payments, and other costs related to provider professional liability.

EmCare’s business is not as capital intensive as AMR’s and EmCare’s depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of computer hardware and software, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

AMR

Approximately 83% of AMR’s net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was transport revenue derived from the treatment and transportation of patients, including fixed-wing air ambulance services, based on billings to third party payors, healthcare facilities and patients. The balance of AMR’s net revenue is derived from direct billings to communities and government agencies, including FEMA, for the provision of training, dispatch center and other services. AMR’s measures for transport net revenue include:

· Transports. We utilize transport data, including the number and types of transports, to evaluate net revenue and as the basis by which we measure certain costs of the business. Excluded from our transport data are transports which are outsourced /brokered through our managed transportation business. We segregate transports into two main categories—ambulance transports (including emergency, as well as non-emergency, critical care and other inter-facility transports) and wheelchair transports—due to the differences in reimbursement and the associated costs of providing ambulance and wheelchair transports. As a result of these differences, in certain analyses we weight our transport numbers according to category in an effort to better measure net revenue and costs. In calculating “weighted transports”, each wheelchair transport is not counted as a full transport, as we apply a discount factor to reflect differences in reimbursement rates for and associated costs of providing such services.

· Net revenue per transport. Net revenue per transport reflects the expected net revenue for each transport based on gross billings less provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. In order to better understand the trends across service lines and in our transport rates, we analyze our net revenue per transport based on weighted transports to reflect the differences in our transportation mix.

The change from period to period in the number of transports and net revenue per transport is influenced by changes in transports in existing markets from both new and existing facilities we serve for non-emergency transports, and the effects of general community conditions for emergency transports. The general community conditions may include (i) the timing, location and severity of influenza, allergens and other annually recurring viruses, (ii) severe weather that affects a region’s health status and/or infrastructure and (iii) community-specific demographic changes.

The costs we incur in our AMR business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for ambulance crews and support personnel, direct and indirect operating costs to provide transportation services, and costs related to accident and insurance claims. AMR’s key cost measures include:

· Unit hours and cost per unit hour. Our measurement of a unit hour is based on a fully staffed ambulance or wheelchair van for one operating hour. We use unit hours and cost per unit hour to measure compensation-related costs and the efficiency of our deployed resources. We monitor unit hours and cost per unit hour on a combined basis, as well as on a segregated basis between ambulance and wheelchair transports.

· Operating costs per transport. Operating costs per transport is comprised of certain direct operating costs, including vehicle operating costs, medical supplies and other transport-related costs, but excluding compensation-related costs. Monitoring operating costs per transport allows us to better evaluate cost trends and operating practices of our regional and local management teams.

· Accident and insurance claims. We monitor the number and magnitude of all accident and insurance claims in order to measure the effectiveness of our risk management programs. Depending on the type of claim (workers compensation, auto, general or professional liability), we monitor our performance by utilizing various bases of measurement, such as net revenue, miles driven, number of vehicles operated, compensation dollars, and number of transports.

We have focused our risk mitigation efforts on employee training for proper patient handling techniques, development of clinical and medical equipment protocols, driving safety, implementation of equipment to reduce lifting injuries and other risk mitigation processes.

AMR’s business requires various investments in long-term assets and depreciation expense relates primarily to charges for usage of these assets, including vehicles, computer hardware and software, medical equipment, and other technologies. Amortization expense relates primarily to intangibles recorded for customer relationships.

Factors Affecting Operating Results

Rate Changes by Government Sponsored Programs

In February 2002, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued the Medicare Ambulance Fee Schedule Final Rule (“Ambulance Fee Schedule”) that revised Medicare policy on the coverage of ambulance transport services, effective April 1, 2002. The Ambulance Fee Schedule was the result of a mandate under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (“BBA”) to establish a national fee schedule for payment of ambulance transport services that would control increases in expenditures under Part B of the Medicare program, establish definitions for ambulance transport services that link payments to the type of services furnished, consider appropriate regional and operational differences and consider adjustments to account for inflation, among other provisions. The Ambulance Fee Schedule provided for a five-year phase-in of a national fee schedule, beginning April 1, 2002. While a reduced fee schedule was scheduled to go into effect in 2014, Congress extended updates preventing any reductions in payment rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 which has been extended until April 1, 2015.

Although we have been able to substantially mitigate the phased-in reductions of the BBA through additional fee and subsidy increases, we may not be able to continue to do so.

Medicare law requires CMS to adjust the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (the “Physician Fee Schedule”) payment rates annually based on a formula which includes an application of the Sustainable Growth Rate (the “SGR”) that was adopted in the BBA. This formula has yielded negative updates every year beginning in 2002, although CMS was able to take administrative steps to avoid a reduction in 2003 and Congress took a series of legislative actions to prevent reductions each year from 2004 through 2013. Legislative action by Congress in December 2013 resulted in a delay of the Physician Fee Schedule SGR cuts until April 1, 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, Congress passed a bill to avoid reductions in Medicare payments to physicians due to the Physician Fee Schedule SGR until April 1, 2015 .

This same bill extended the Ambulance Fee Schedule add-on payments until April 1, 2015 as well.

On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) (the “Budget Control Act”) was enacted. Under the Budget Control Act, a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Joint Committee”) was established to develop recommendations to reduce the deficit, over 10 years, by $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion, and was required to report its recommendations to Congress by November 23, 2011. Under the Budget Control Act, Congress was then required to consider the Joint Committee’s recommendations by December 23, 2011. If the Joint Committee failed to refer agreed upon legislation to Congress or did not meet the required savings threshold set out in the Budget Control Act, a sequestration process would be put into effect, government-wide, to reduce Federal outlays by the proposed amount. Because the Joint Committee failed to report the requisite recommendations for deficit reduction, the sequestration process was set to automatically start, impacting Medicare and certain other government programs beginning in January 2013. Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed into law on January 2, 2013, delaying the start of sequestration until March 1, 2013. In order to provide its contractors and providers sufficient lead time to implement the cuts in Medicare, CMS delayed implementation of Medicare cuts until April 1, 2013. As there has been no further Congressional action with respect to the sequestration, reimbursements were cut by 2% for Medicare providers, including physicians and ambulance providers, starting April 1, 2013, and cuts are scheduled annually through 2021. A subsequent round of budget sequestration cuts took effect in January 2014 further reducing Medicare provider reimbursements by another 2% for 2014. The Continuing Appropriations Resolution 2014 (Public Law 113-67), enacted December 26, 2013, extends the annual budget sequestration cuts to Medicare provider payments for an additional two years through 2023.

On November 1, 2012, CMS released the final regulation which implements Section 1202 of the Patient and Affordable Care Act. This section increases Medicaid payments for specified primary care services in both the fee-for-service and managed care settings to Medicare levels for certain primary care physicians in 2013 and 2014. This resulted in an increase to our net revenue of approximately $24.1 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Changes in Net New Contracts

Our operating results are affected directly by the number of net new contracts we have in a period, reflecting the effects of both new contracts and contract expirations. We regularly bid for new contracts, frequently in a formal competitive bidding process that often requires written responses to a request for proposal (“RFP”), and, in any fiscal period, certain of our contracts will expire. We may elect not to seek extension or renewal of a contract if we determine that we cannot do so on favorable terms. With respect to expiring contracts we would like to renew, we may be required to seek renewal through an RFP, and we may not be successful in retaining any such contracts, or retaining them on terms that are as favorable as present terms.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the Three months ended September 30, 2013

Consolidated

Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 reflect an increase in net revenue of $194.4 million and an increase in net income of $60.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in net income is attributable primarily to the decrease in interest expense from the redemption of the 2019 Notes in December of 2013 and June of 2014, the redemption of the PIK Notes in August of 2013, the re-pricing of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility in February of 2013 and the decrease in expenses related to the payment made in 2013 to CD&R to terminate the Consulting Agreement with CD&R of $20.0 million.

Net revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we generated net revenue of $1,150.3 million compared to $955.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of 20.3%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts combined with increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of markets exited.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted EBTIDA was $152.2 million, or 13.2% of net revenue, compared to $121.7 million, or 12.7% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Restructuring charges. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, restructuring charges were $0.4 million, related to continuing efforts to re-align AMR and EmCare operations, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase was due to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Net new contracts since September 30, 2013 accounted for a net revenue increase of $66.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, of which $33.6 million came from net new contracts added in 2013, with the remaining increase in net revenue from those added in 2014. Net revenue under our same store contracts (contracts in existence for the entirety of both periods) increased $40.7 million, or 7.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The increase in net revenue was due primarily to an increase in net revenue per weighted transport of 1.1%, or $3.8 million, primarily from increased managed transportation revenue which has no associated transport volume and increased rates in existing markets and an increase of 13.6%, or $47.6 million, in weighted transport volume. Weighted transports increased 95,100 from the same quarter last year. The change was due to an increase of 67,500 weighted transports from our entry into new markets and recent acquisitions and an increase of 4.9%, or 33,400 weighted transports, in existing markets, offset by a decrease of 5,800 weighted transports from exited markets.

As a percentage of net revenue, the decrease primarily relates to our recent managed transportation acquisitions in which we do not directly employ the providers and therefore; such provider costs are included within operating expenses. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour increased by approximately 1.0%, or $1.3 million, and ambulance unit hours increased period over period by 11.9%, or $13.9 million. Non-crew compensation increased $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to increased costs associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited and increased costs from recent acquisitions.

The change was due primarily to increased costs of $1.4 million associated with the net impact from markets entered and exited, increased costs of $7.9 million primarily from recent managed transportation acquisitions, and increased other miscellaneous net operating costs of $2.2 million offset by decreased costs associated with our existing managed transportation business of $1.0 million.

Insurance expense.

We regularly analyze DSO which is calculated by dividing our net revenue for the quarter by the number of days in the quarter. The result is divided into net accounts receivable at the end of the period. DSO provides us with a gauge to measure receivables, revenue and collection activities.

The following table outlines our DSO by segment and in total excluding the impact of acquisitions completed within the specific quarter and the impact of the FEMA deployment at AMR in 2012:

	Q3 2014	Q2 2014	Q1 2014	Q4 2013	Q3 2013	Q2 2013	Q1 2013	Q4 2012
EmCare	77	79	82	82	77	71	68	65
AMR	66	62	62	63	64	64	66	68
Company	73	73	74	75	73	68	67	66

Investing activities . Net cash used in investing activities was $264.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $70.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily related to the increase in cash outflow for acquisitions of $171.9 million.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $113.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $562.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received proceeds of $740.6 million from the issuance of the 2022 Notes, offset by our payment of $645.3 million, which includes a $37.6 million premium, to redeem $617.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2019 Notes of which $9.8 million was held by our captive insurance subsidiary. Additionally, we paid $14.4 million of employee related taxes related to the exercise of stock options in connection with the secondary offering in February of 2014, offset by the excess tax benefit from these stock option exercises of $38.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received proceeds from our initial public offering of $1,112.0 million, offset by related issuance costs paid of $63.4 million. We paid $462.4 million, which included a $12.4 million premium, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to redeem our Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2017. We also increased our borrowings under our Term Loan Facility by $150.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay down our ABL Facility. Additionally, we paid approximately $5.0 million in costs incurred to refinance the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility. Financing cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also included a payment of $38.3 million to a prior shareholder in settlement of its appraisal action over its holdings in Corporation prior to the Merger.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in fuel prices, changes in interest rates on certain of our borrowings, and changes in stock prices. While we have from time to time entered into transactions to mitigate our exposure to both changes in fuel prices and interest rates, we do not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

We manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices and, as appropriate, use highly effective derivative instruments to manage well-defined risk exposures. As of September 30, 2014, we were party to a series of fuel hedge transactions with a major financial institution under one master agreement. Each of the transactions effectively fixes the cost of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $3.63 to $3.76 per gallon. We purchase the diesel fuel at the market rate and periodically settle with our counterparty for the difference between the national average price for the period published by the Department of Energy and the agreed upon fixed price. The transactions fix the price for a total of 0.6 million gallons during the periods hedged through December 2014.

Table of Contents

On October 17, 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements which mature on August 31, 2015. The swap agreements are with major financial institutions and effectively convert a notional amount of $400 million in variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 4.49%. We will continue to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR, but not less than 1.0%) and will periodically settle with our counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate.

As of September 30, 2014, we had $2,040.1 million of debt, excluding capital leases, of which $1,289.4 million was variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facility and the balance was fixed rate debt. An increase or decrease in interest rates of 1.0%, above our LIBOR floor of 1.0%, will impact our interest costs by $12.9 million annually.

We are exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our holdings in publicly traded securities. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, specific industry changes, and other factors. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of our available-for-sale securities was $25.0 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower as of September 30, 2014, the aggregate fair value of such securities would have been $2.5 million lower.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintain systems of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that they file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of the Company’s management of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures conducted as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13e-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For information regarding legal proceedings, please refer to Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

A restated description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously provided in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents

Risks Related to Our Business

We are subject to decreases in our revenue and profit margin under our fee-for-service contracts, where we bear the risk of changes in volume, payor mix and third party reimbursement rates.

In our fee-for-service arrangements, which generated approximately 84% of our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, we, or our affiliated physicians, collect the fees for transports and physician services provided. Under these arrangements, we assume financial risks related to changes in the mix of insured and uninsured patients and patients covered by government-sponsored healthcare programs, third party reimbursement rates, and transports and patient volume. In some cases, our revenue decreases if our volume or reimbursement decreases, but our expenses may not decrease proportionately. See “— Risks Related to Healthcare Regulation — Changes in the rates or methods of third party reimbursements, including due to political discord in the budgeting process outside our control, may adversely affect our revenue and operations”.

We collect a smaller portion of our fees for services rendered to uninsured patients than for services rendered to insured patients. Our credit risk related to services provided to uninsured individuals is exacerbated because the law requires communities to provide “911” emergency response services and hospital EDs to treat all patients presenting to the ED seeking care for an emergency medical condition regardless of their ability to pay. We also believe uninsured patients are more likely to seek care at hospital EDs because they frequently do not have a primary care physician with whom to consult.

Our revenue would be adversely affected if we lose existing contracts.

A significant portion of our growth historically has resulted from increases in the number of patient encounters and fees for services we provide under existing contracts, the addition of new contracts and the increase in the number of emergency and non-emergency transports. Substantially all of our net revenue in the year ended December 31, 2013 was generated under contracts, including exclusive contracts that accounted for approximately 89% of our 2013 net revenue. Our contracts with hospitals generally have terms of three years and the term of our contracts with communities to provide “911” services generally ranges from three to five years. Most of our contracts are terminable by either of the parties upon notice of as little as 30 days. Any of our contracts may not be renewed or, if renewed, may contain terms that are not as favorable to us as our current contracts. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining our existing contracts or that any loss of contracts would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, certain of our contracts will expire during each fiscal period, and we may be required to seek renewal of these contracts through a formal bidding process that often requires written responses to a request for proposal. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining such contracts or that we will retain them on terms that are as favorable as present terms.

We may not accurately assess the costs we will incur under new contracts.

Our new contracts increasingly involve a competitive bidding process. When we obtain new contracts, we must accurately assess the costs we will incur in providing services in order to realize adequate profit margins and otherwise meet our financial and strategic objectives. Increasing pressures from healthcare payors to restrict or reduce reimbursement rates at a time when the costs of providing medical services continue to increase make assessing the costs associated with the pricing of new contracts, as well as maintenance of existing contracts, more difficult. Starting new contracts in a number of our service lines may also negatively impact cash flow as we absorb various expenses before we are able to bill and collect revenue associated with the new contracts. In addition, integrating new contracts, particularly those in new geographic locations, could prove more costly, and could require more management time, than we anticipate. Our failure to accurately predict costs or to negotiate an adequate profit margin could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully recruit and retain physicians and other healthcare professionals with the qualifications and attributes desired by us and our customers.

Our ability to recruit and retain affiliated physicians and other healthcare professionals significantly affects our performance under our contracts. Our customer hospitals have increasingly demanded a greater degree of specialized skills, training and experience in the healthcare professionals providing services under their contracts with us. This decreases the number of healthcare professionals who may be permitted to staff our contracts. Moreover, because of the scope of the geographic and demographic diversity of the hospitals and other facilities with which we contract, we must recruit healthcare professionals, and particularly physicians, to staff a broad spectrum of contracts. We have had difficulty in the past recruiting physicians to staff contracts in some regions of the country and at some less economically advantaged hospitals. Moreover, we compete with other entities to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals to deliver clinical services. Our future success in retaining and winning new hospital contracts depends in part on our ability to recruit and retain physicians and other healthcare professionals to maintain and expand our operations.

Table of Contents

Our non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants involving physicians may not be enforceable.

We have contracts with physicians and professional corporations in many states. Some of these contracts, as well as our contracts with hospitals, include provisions preventing these physicians and professional corporations from competing with us both during and after the term of our relationship with them. The law governing non-compete agreements and other forms of restrictive covenants varies from state to state. Some states are reluctant to strictly enforce non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants applicable to physicians. There can be no assurance that our non-compete agreements related to affiliated physicians and professional corporations will not be successfully challenged as unenforceable in certain states. In such event, we would be unable to prevent former affiliated physicians and professional corporations from competing with us, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our hospital contracts.

If we fail to implement our business strategy, our financial performance and our growth could be materially and adversely affected.

Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part upon our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Our business strategy includes several initiatives, including capitalizing on organic growth opportunities, growing complementary and integrated services lines, pursuing selective acquisitions, enhancing operational efficiencies and productivity, and expanding our Evolution Health business. We may not be able to implement our business strategy successfully or achieve the anticipated benefits of our business plan. If we are unable to do so, our long-term growth, profitability, and ability to service our debt will be adversely affected. Even if we are able to implement some or all of the initiatives of our business plan successfully, our operating results may not improve to the extent we anticipate, or at all.

Implementation of our business strategy could also be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as increased competition, legal developments, government regulation, general economic conditions or increased operating costs or expenses. In addition, to the extent we have misjudged the nature and extent of industry trends or our competition, we may have difficulty in achieving our strategic objectives.

Our margins may be negatively impacted by cross-selling to existing customers or selling bundled services to new customers.

One of our growth strategies involves the continuation and expansion of our efforts to sell complementary services across our businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our cross-selling efforts. As part of our cross-selling efforts, we may need to offer a bundled package of services that are at a lower price point to existing or new customers as compared to the price of individual services or otherwise offer services which may put downward price pressure on our services. Such price pressure may have a negative impact on our operating margins. In addition, if a complementary service offered as part of a bundled package underperforms as compared to the other services included in such package, we could face reputational harm which could negatively impact our relationships with our customers and ultimately our results of operations.

We may not succeed in our efforts to develop our Evolution Health business, which is subject to additional rules, prohibitions, regulations and reimbursement requirements that differ from our facility-based physician and healthcare transportation services.

We have only recently expanded our EmCare physician-led services outside the hospital through the formation of Evolution Health. Currently, Evolution Health accounts for less than 5% of our consolidated net revenue and provides services in only four states. A key component of our growth strategy is to continue to expand our Evolution Health business by adding new customers and entering new geographic markets. As part of this strategy, we intend to expand the non-hospital care services we provide through Evolution Health to hospital systems, transitional care programs, accountable care organizations and health plans. This anticipated expansion will expose us to additional risks, in part because our Evolution Health business requires compliance with additional federal and state laws and regulations, including those that govern licensure, enrollment, documentation, prescribing, coding, and scope of practice, which may differ from the laws and regulations that govern our other businesses. For example, we utilize nurses and other allied health personnel in providing care to patients outside the acute-care setting. It is necessary for us to make sure that these personnel only provide services within the scope of their license. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may result in unanticipated expenses. In addition, if we are unable to comply with the additional legal requirements, we could incur liability which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The implementation of the PPACA is not complete, and is subject to various uncertainties that could affect our Evolution Health business, including (i) the degree to which the United States moves away from its traditional fee-for-service delivery model to an outcome-based delivery model, (ii) the number of additional healthcare consumers currently without means of payment that will ultimately gain access to insurance and (iii) the scope of reimbursement changes to the U.S. healthcare system. As such, there can be no assurance that our expansion efforts in this business will ultimately be successful. In addition, realizing growth opportunities in physician-led care management solutions outside the hospital setting will require significant attention from our management team, and if management is unable to provide such attention, implementation of this strategy could be delayed or hindered and thereby negatively impact our business.

We may enter into partnerships with payors and other healthcare providers, including risk-based partnerships under the PPACA. If this strategy is not successful, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

In recent years, we have entered into strategic business partnerships with hospital systems and other large payors to take advantage of commercial opportunities in our facility-based physician services business. For example, EmCare has entered into joint venture agreements with large hospital systems to provide physician services to various healthcare facilities. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts in these areas will continue to be successful. Moreover, joint venture and strategic partnership models expose us to commercial risks that may be different from our other business models, including that the success of the joint venture or partnership is only partially under our operational and legal control and the opportunity cost of not pursuing the specific venture independently or with other partners. In addition, under certain joint venture or strategic partnership arrangements, the hospital system partner has the option to acquire our stake in the venture on a predetermined financial formula, which, if exercised, would lead to the loss of our associated revenue and profits which may not be offset fully by the immediate proceeds of the sale of our stake. Furthermore, joint ventures may raise fraud and abuse issues. For example, the OIG has taken the position that certain contractual joint ventures between a party which makes referrals and a party which receives referrals for a specific type of service may violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute if one purpose of the arrangement is to encourage referrals.

In addition, we plan to take advantage of various opportunities afforded by the PPACA to enter into risk-based partnerships designed to encourage healthcare providers to assume financial accountability for outcomes and work together to better coordinate care for patients, both when they are in the hospital and after they are discharged. Examples of such initiatives include the CMS Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiative, the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Independence at Home Demonstration. We view taking advantage of targeted initiatives in the new regulatory environment as an important part of our business strategy in order to develop our integrated service offerings across the patient continuum, further develop our relationships with hospitals, hospital systems and other payors and prepare for the possibility that Medicare may require us to participate in a capitated or value-based payment system for certain of our businesses in the future.

Advancing such initiatives can be time consuming and expensive, and there can be no assurance that our efforts in these areas would ultimately be successful. In addition, if we succeed in our efforts to enter into these risk-based partnerships but fail to deliver quality care at a cost consistent with our expectations, we may be subject to significant financial penalties depending on the program, and an unsuccessful implementation of such initiatives could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We could be subject to lawsuits for which we are not fully reserved.

Physicians, hospitals and other participants in the healthcare industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging medical malpractice and related legal theories such as negligent hiring, supervision and credentialing. Similarly, ambulance transport services may result in lawsuits concerning vehicle collisions and personal injuries, patient care incidents or mistreatment and employee job-related injuries. Some of these lawsuits may involve large claim amounts and substantial defense costs.

EmCare generally procures professional liability insurance coverage for its affiliated medical professionals and professional and corporate entities. Beginning January 1, 2002, insurance coverage has been provided by affiliates of Columbia Casualty Company and Continental Casualty Company, which then reinsure the entire program, procured primarily by EmCare’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, EMCA Insurance Company, Ltd. (“EMCA”). AMR currently has an insurance program which includes a combination of insurance purchased from third parties and large self-insured retentions and/or deductibles for all of its insurance programs subsequent to September 1, 2001. AMR reinsures a portion of these self-insured retentions and/or deductibles through an arrangement with EMCA. Under these insurance programs, we establish reserves, using actuarial estimates, for all losses covered under the policies. Moreover, in the normal course of our business, we are involved in lawsuits, claims, audits and investigations, including those arising out of our billing and marketing practices, employment disputes, contractual claims and other business disputes for which we may have no insurance coverage, and which are not subject to actuarial estimates. The outcome of these matters could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period when we identify the matter, and the ultimate outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Table of Contents

Our liability to pay for EmCare’s and certain of AMR’s insurance program losses is partially collateralized by funds held through EMCA and letters of credit issued by EVHC and, to the extent these losses exceed the collateral and assets of EMCA or the limits of our insurance policies, will have to be funded by us. If our AMR losses with respect to such claims exceed the collateral held by AMR’s insurance providers or the collateral held through EMCA, and the letters of credit issued by EVHC in connection with our self-insurance program or the limits of our insurance policies, we will have to fund such amounts.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulatory regimes, including a variety of labor laws and regulations. Failure to comply with laws and regulations could subject us to, among other things, penalties and legal expenses which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations including, but not limited to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. We are also subject to a variety of federal and state employment and labor laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, and other regulations related to working conditions, wage-hour pay, overtime pay, family leave, employee benefits, antidiscrimination, termination of employment, safety standards and other workplace regulations.

Failure to properly adhere to these and other applicable laws and regulations could result in investigations, the imposition of penalties or adverse legal judgments by public or private plaintiffs, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Similarly, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the cost of complying with newly-implemented laws and regulations.

In addition, from time to time we have received, and expect to continue to receive, correspondence from former employees terminated by us who threaten to bring claims against us alleging that we have violated one or more labor and employment regulations. In certain instances former employees have brought claims against us and we expect that we will encounter similar actions against us in the future. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could require us to pay contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.

See “— Risks Related to Healthcare Regulation”.

The reserves we establish with respect to our losses covered under our insurance programs are subject to inherent uncertainties.

In connection with our insurance programs, we establish reserves for losses and related expenses, which represent estimates involving actuarial and statistical projections, at a given point in time, of our expectations of the ultimate resolution and administration costs of losses we have incurred in respect of our liability risks. Insurance reserves inherently are subject to uncertainty. Our reserves are based on historical claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity and exposure factors and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent actuary firm. The independent actuary firm performs studies of projected ultimate losses on an annual basis and provides quarterly updates to those projections. We use these actuarial estimates to determine appropriate reserves. Our reserves could be significantly affected if current and future occurrences differ from historical claim trends and expectations. While we monitor claims closely when we estimate reserves, the complexity of the claims and the wide range of potential outcomes may hamper timely adjustments to the assumptions we use in these estimates. Actual losses and related expenses may deviate, individually and in the aggregate, from the reserve estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $167.6 million and $175.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. If we determine that our estimated reserves are inadequate, we will be required to increase reserves at the time of the determination, which would result in a reduction in our net income in the period in which the deficiency is determined.

Insurance coverage for some of our losses may be inadequate and may be subject to the credit risk of commercial insurance companies.

Some of our insurance coverage is through various third party insurers. To the extent we hold policies to cover certain groups of claims or rely on insurance coverage obtained by third parties to cover such claims, but either we or such third parties did not obtain sufficient insurance limits, did not buy an extended reporting period policy, where applicable, or the issuing insurance company is unable or unwilling to pay such claims, we may be responsible for those losses. Furthermore, for our losses that are insured or reinsured through commercial insurance companies, we are subject to the “credit risk” of those insurance companies. While we believe our commercial insurance company providers currently are creditworthy, there can be no assurance that such insurance companies will remain so in the future.

Table of Contents

Volatility in market conditions could negatively impact insurance collateral balances and result in additional funding requirements.

Our insurance collateral is comprised principally of government and investment grade securities and cash deposits with third parties. The volatility experienced in the market has not had a material impact on our financial position or performance. Future volatility could, however, negatively impact the insurance collateral balances and result in additional funding requirements.

We may make acquisitions which could divert the attention of management and which may not be integrated successfully into our existing business.

We may pursue acquisitions to increase our market penetration, enter new geographic markets and expand the scope of services we provide. We have evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate possible acquisitions on an ongoing basis. We cannot assure you that we will identify suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions will be completed on acceptable terms, our due diligence process will uncover all potential liabilities or issues affecting our integration process, we will not incur break-up, termination or similar fees and expenses, or we will be able to integrate successfully the operations of any acquired business into our existing business. Furthermore, acquisitions into new geographic markets and services may require us to comply with new and unfamiliar legal and regulatory requirements, which could impose substantial obligations on us and our management, cause us to expend additional time and resources, and increase our exposure to penalties or fines for non-compliance with such requirements. The acquisitions could be of significant size and involve operations in multiple jurisdictions. The acquisition and integration of another business would divert management attention from other business activities. This diversion, together with other difficulties we may incur in integrating an acquired business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may borrow money to finance acquisitions. Such borrowings might not be available on terms as favorable to us as our current borrowing terms and may increase our leverage.

The high level of competition in our segments of the market for medical services could adversely affect our contract and revenue base.

EmCare. The market for providing outsourced physician staffing and related management services to hospitals and clinics is highly competitive. Such competition could adversely affect our ability to obtain new contracts, retain existing contracts and increase or maintain profit margins. We compete with both national and regional enterprises such as Team Health, Hospital Physician Partners, The Schumacher Group, Sheridan Healthcare, California Emergency Physicians, National Emergency Services Healthcare Group, and IPC, some of which may have greater financial and other resources available to them, greater access to physicians or greater access to potential customers. We also compete against local physician groups and self-operated facility-based physician services departments for satisfying staffing and scheduling needs.

AMR. The market for providing ambulance transport services to municipalities, counties, other healthcare providers and third party payors is highly competitive. In providing ambulance transport services, we compete with governmental entities, including cities and fire districts, hospitals, local and volunteer private providers, and with several large national and regional providers such as Rural/Metro Corporation, Falck, Southwest Ambulance, Paramedics Plus and Acadian Ambulance. In many communities, our most important competitors are the local fire departments, which in many cases have acted traditionally as the first response providers during emergencies, and have been able to expand their scope of services to include emergency ambulance transport and do not wish to give up their franchises to a private competitor. In 2011, the California state legislature passed legislation which makes some public agencies eligible for additional federal funding for Medi-Cal ambulance transports if certain conditions are met. These additional funds may provide an opportunity for certain public agencies, including local fire departments, to enter into the ambulance transportation market or provide additional ambulance transports, which could increase competition in the California market.

We are required to make capital expenditures, particularly for our healthcare transportation business, in order to remain compliant and competitive.

Our capital expenditure requirements primarily relate to maintaining and upgrading our vehicle fleet and medical equipment to serve our customers and remain competitive. The aging of our vehicle fleet requires us to make regular capital expenditures to maintain our current level of service. Our net capital expenditures from purchases and sales of assets totaled $65.0 million, $53.0 million, and $64.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, changing competitive conditions or the emergence of any significant advances in medical technology could require us to invest significant capital in additional equipment or capacity in order to remain competitive. If we are unable to fund any such investment or otherwise fail to invest in new vehicles or medical equipment, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

We depend on our senior management and may not be able to retain those employees or recruit additional qualified personnel.

We depend on our senior management. The loss of services of any of the members of our senior management could adversely affect our business until a suitable replacement can be found. There may be a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions, and we cannot assure you that we would be able to identify or employ such qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

Our business depends on numerous complex information systems, and any failure to successfully maintain these systems or implement new systems could materially harm our operations.

We depend on complex, integrated information systems and standardized procedures for operational and financial information and our billing operations. We may not have the necessary resources to enhance existing information systems or implement new systems where necessary to handle our volume and changing needs. Furthermore, we may experience unanticipated delays, complications and expenses in implementing, integrating and operating our systems. Any interruptions in operations during periods of implementation would adversely affect our ability to properly allocate resources and process billing information in a timely manner, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and delayed cash flow. We also use the development and implementation of sophisticated and specialized technology to differentiate our services from our competitors and improve our profitability. The failure to successfully implement and maintain operational, financial and billing information systems could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain new business, retain existing business and maintain or increase our profit margins.

Disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or management continuity planning could limit our ability to operate our business effectively.

Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to conduct our business. While we have disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans in place, any disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations. Despite our implementation of a variety of security measures, our technology systems could be subject to physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. In addition, in the event that a significant number of our management personnel were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct business could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business, or to defend successfully against intellectual property infringement claims by third parties.

Our ability to compete effectively depends in part upon our intellectual property rights, including but not limited to our trademarks and copyrights, and our proprietary technology. Our use of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures and agreements, and trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade secret and other laws to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technology may not be adequate. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary technology, or to defend against claims by third parties that the conduct of our businesses or our use of intellectual property infringes upon such third party’s intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property litigation or claims brought against us, whether or not meritorious, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained in all cases. The terms of any settlement or judgment may require us to pay substantial amounts to the other party or cease exercising our rights in such intellectual property, including ceasing the use of certain trademarks used by us to distinguish our services from those of others or ceasing the exercise of our rights in copyrightable works. In addition, we may have to seek a license to continue practices found to be in violation of a third party’s rights, which may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected as a result.

A successful challenge by tax authorities to our treatment of certain physicians as independent contractors or the elimination of an existing safe harbor could materially increase our costs relating to these physicians.

We contract with approximately 4,200 physicians and clinical personnel as independent contractors to fulfill our contractual obligations to customers. Because we treat these physicians as independent contractors rather than as employees, we do not (i) withhold federal or state income or other employment related taxes from the compensation that we pay to them, (ii) make federal or state unemployment tax or Federal Insurance Contributions Act payments with respect to them, (iii) provide workers compensation insurance with respect to them (except in states that require us to do so for independent contractors), or (iv) allow them to participate in benefits and retirement programs available to employed physicians. Our contracts with these physicians obligate them to pay these taxes and other costs. Whether these physicians are properly classified as independent contractors generally depends upon the facts and circumstances of our relationship with them. It is possible that the nature of our relationship with these physicians would support a challenge to our treatment of them as independent contractors. Under current federal tax law, however, if our treatment of these physicians is consistent with a long-standing practice of a significant segment of our industry and we meet certain other requirements, it is possible, but not certain, that our treatment would qualify under a “safe harbor” and, consequently, we would be protected from the imposition of taxes. However, if a challenge to our treatment of these physicians as independent contractors by federal or state taxing authorities were successful and these physicians were treated as employees instead of independent contractors, we could be liable for taxes, penalties and interest to the extent that these physicians did not fulfill their contractual obligations to pay those taxes. In addition, there are currently, and have been in the past, proposals made to eliminate the safe harbor, and similar proposals could be made in the future. If such a challenge were successful or if the safe harbor were eliminated, there could be a material increase in our costs relating to these physicians and, therefore, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many of our AMR employees are represented by labor unions and any work stoppage could adversely affect our business.

Approximately 46% of AMR employees are represented by 39 active collective bargaining agreements. There are 19 operational locations representing approximately 4,000 employees that are currently in the process of negotiations or will begin negotiations in 2014. There are also two additional operational locations that have completed negotiations and are awaiting ratification that represent approximately 900 employees. In addition, six collective bargaining agreements, representing 600 employees, will be subject to negotiations in 2015. We cannot assure you that we will be able to negotiate a satisfactory renewal of these collective bargaining agreements or that our employee relations will remain stable.

Our consolidated revenue and earnings could vary significantly from period to period due to our national contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Our revenue and earnings under our national contract with FEMA are likely to vary significantly from period to period. In the past five years of the FEMA contract, our annual revenues from services rendered under this contract have varied by approximately $44 million. In its present form, the contract generates significant revenue for us only in the event of a national emergency and then only if FEMA exercises its broad discretion to order a deployment. Our FEMA revenue therefore depends largely on circumstances outside of our control. We therefore cannot predict the revenue and earnings, if any, we may generate in any given period from our FEMA contract. This may lead to increased volatility in our actual revenue and earnings period to period.

We may be required to enter into large scale deployment of resources in response to a national emergency under our contract with FEMA, which may divert management attention and resources.

We do not believe that a FEMA deployment adversely affects our ability to service our local “911” contracts. However, any significant FEMA deployment requires significant management attention and could reduce our ability to pursue other local transport opportunities, such as inter-facility transports, and to pursue new business opportunities, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Healthcare Regulation

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which we provide and bill for services, our contractual relationships with our physicians, vendors and customers, our marketing activities and other aspects of our operations. Failure to comply with these laws can result in civil and criminal penalties such as fines, damages, overpayment recoupment loss of enrollment status and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

Our practitioners and our customers are also subject to ethical guidelines and operating standards of professional and trade associations and private accreditation agencies. Compliance with these guidelines and standards is often required by our contracts with our customers or to maintain our reputation.

The laws, regulations and standards governing the provision of healthcare services may change significantly in the future. We cannot assure you that any new or changed healthcare laws, regulations or standards will not materially adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that a review of our business by judicial, law enforcement, regulatory or accreditation authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations.

We are subject to comprehensive and complex laws and rules that govern the manner in which we bill and are paid for our services by third party payors, and the failure to comply with these rules, or allegations that we have failed to do so, can result in civil or criminal sanctions, including exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs.

Like most healthcare providers, the majority of our services are paid for by private and governmental third party payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid. These third party payors typically have differing and complex billing and documentation requirements that we must meet in order to receive payment for our services. Reimbursement to us is typically conditioned on our providing the correct procedure and diagnostic codes and properly documenting the services themselves, including the level of service provided, the medical necessity for the services, the site of service and the identity of the practitioner who provided the service.

We must also comply with numerous other laws applicable to our documentation and the claims we submit for payment, including but not limited to (i) “coordination of benefits” rules that dictate which payor we must bill first when a patient has potential coverage from multiple payors, (ii) requirements that we obtain the signature of the patient or patient representative, or, in certain cases, alternative documentation, prior to submitting a claim, (iii) requirements that we make repayment within a specified period of time to any payor which pays us more than the amount to which we are entitled, (iv) requirements that we bill a hospital or nursing home, rather than Medicare, for certain ambulance transports provided to Medicare patients of such facilities, (v) “reassignment” rules governing our ability to bill and collect professional fees on behalf of our physicians, (vi) requirements that our electronic claims for payment be submitted using certain standardized transaction codes and formats and (vii) laws requiring us to handle all health and financial information of our patients in a manner that complies with specified security and privacy standards.

Governmental and private third party payors and other enforcement agencies carefully audit and monitor our compliance with these and other applicable rules, and in some cases in the past have found that we were not in compliance. We have received in the past, and expect to receive in the future, repayment demands from third party payors based on allegations that our services were not medically necessary, were billed at an improper level, or otherwise violated applicable billing requirements. Our failure to comply with the billing and other rules applicable to us could result in non-payment for services rendered or refunds of amounts previously paid for such services. In addition, non-compliance with these rules may cause us to incur civil and criminal penalties, including fines, imprisonment and exclusion from government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, under a number of state and federal laws. These laws include the federal False Claims Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and other provisions of federal, state and local law. The federal False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Statute were both recently amended in a manner which makes it easier for the government to demonstrate that a violation has occurred.

A number of states have enacted false claims acts that are similar to the federal False Claims Act. Additional states are expected to enact such legislation in the future because Section 6031 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (“DRA”) amended the federal law to encourage these types of changes, along with a corresponding increase in state initiated false claims enforcement efforts.

Under the DRA, if a state enacts a false claims act that is at least as stringent as the federal statute and that also meets certain other requirements, such state will be eligible to receive a greater share of any monetary recovery obtained pursuant to certain actions brought under such state’s false claims act. The OIG, in consultation with the Attorney General of the United States, is responsible for determining if a state’s false claims act complies with the statutory requirements. Currently, at least 29 states and the District of Columbia have some form of false claims act. The OIG has reviewed 28 of these and determined that 15 of these satisfy the DRA standards. We anticipate this figure will continue to increase.

In addition, from time to time we self-identify practices that may have resulted in Medicare or Medicaid overpayments or other regulatory issues. For example, we have previously identified situations in which we may have inadvertently utilized incorrect billing codes for some of the services we have billed to government programs such as Medicare or Medicaid. In such cases, if appropriate, it is our practice to disclose the issue to the affected government programs and to refund any resulting overpayments. Although the government usually accepts such disclosures and repayments without taking further enforcement action, it is possible that such disclosures or repayments will result in allegations by the government that we have violated the False Claims Act or other laws, leading to investigations and possibly civil or criminal enforcement actions.

On January 16, 2009, the HHS released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Administrative Simplification Provisions of HIPAA, which includes EmCare and AMR, must implement ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10 th Edition) for medical coding on October 1, 2013. ICD-10 codes contain significantly more information than the ICD-9 codes currently used for medical coding and will require covered entities to code with much greater detail and specificity than ICD-9 codes. HHS subsequently postponed the deadline for implementation of ICD-10 codes until October 1, 2014. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 was signed into law on April 1, 2014, and further extended the deadline to October 1, 2015. We may incur additional costs for computer system updates, training, and other resources required to implement these changes.

Other changes to the Medicare program intended to implement Medicare’s new “pay for performance” philosophy may require us to make investments to receive maximum Medicare reimbursement for our services. These program revisions may include (but are not necessarily limited to) the Medicare Physician Quality Reporting System, formerly known as the Medicare Physician Quality Reporting Initiative, which provides additional Medicare compensation to physicians who implement and report certain quality measures.

If our operations are found to be in violation of these or any of the other laws which govern our activities, any resulting penalties, damages, fines or other sanctions could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

Under recently enacted amendments to federal privacy law, we are subject to more stringent penalties in the event we improperly use or disclose protected health information regarding our patients.

HIPAA required HHS to adopt standards to protect the privacy and security of certain health-related information. The HIPAA privacy regulations contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information by covered entities, which include EmCare and AMR.

In addition to the privacy requirements, HIPAA covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted by covered entities or their business associates. HIPAA also implemented the use of standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including activities associated with the billing and collection of healthcare claims.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), as implemented by an omnibus final rule published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2013, significantly expands the scope of the privacy and security requirements under HIPAA and increases penalties for violations. Prior to HITECH, the focus of HIPAA enforcement was on resolution of alleged non-compliance through voluntary corrective action without fines or penalties in most cases. That focus changed under HITECH, which now imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations of HIPAA that are due to “willful neglect”. Penalties start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000, subject to a cap of $1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. HITECH also authorized state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts will be able to award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. In addition, HITECH mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of a cross-section of HIPAA covered entities or business associates. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured protected health information (“PHI”) may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator.

HITECH and implementing regulations enacted by HHS further require that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with some exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals within the “same facility”. HITECH and implementing regulations specify that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach”. If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported immediately to HHS, which will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually. These security breach notification requirements apply not only to unauthorized disclosures of unsecured PHI to outside third parties, but also to unauthorized internal access to such PHI. This means that unauthorized employee “snooping” into medical records could trigger the notification requirements.

Many states in which we operate also have state laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information. These laws may be similar to or even more protective than the federal provisions. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but some may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. California’s patient privacy laws, for example, provide for penalties of up to $250,000 and permit injured parties to sue for damages.

The impact of recent healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending on us is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business model, financial condition or results of operations.

Our revenue is either from the healthcare industry or could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. In March 2010, the President signed into law the PPACA, commonly referred to as “the healthcare reform legislation”, which made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States. The PPACA, among other things, increases the number of individuals with Medicaid and private insurance coverage, implements reimbursement policies that tie payment to quality, facilitates the creation of accountable care organizations that may use capitation and other alternative payment methodologies, strengthens enforcement of fraud and abuse laws, and encourages the use of information technology. Many of these changes did not go into effect until 2014, and many require implementing regulations which have not yet been drafted or have been released only as proposed rules. For example, on May 12, 2014, the OIG issued a proposed rule that would establish new civil monetary penalties for certain fraud and abuse violations, including penalties of $10,000 per day for failing to repay overpayments within 60 days of discovery.

Table of Contents

The impact of many of these provisions is unknown at this time. For example, the PPACA provides for establishment of an Independent Payment Advisory Board that could recommend changes in payment for physicians under certain circumstances not earlier than January 15, 2014, which HHS generally would be required to implement unless Congress enacts superseding legislation. The PPACA also requires HHS to develop a budget neutral value-based payment modifier that provides for differential payment under the Physician Fee Schedule for physicians or groups of physicians that is linked to quality of care furnished compared to cost. HHS has begun implementing the modifier through the Physician Fee Schedule rulemaking for 2013, by, among other things, specifying the initial performance period and how it will apply the upward and downward modifier for certain physicians and physician groups beginning January 1, 2015, and all physicians and physician groups starting not later than January 1, 2017. During this rulemaking process, HHS considered whether it should develop a value-based payment modifier option for hospital-based physicians, but ultimately, HHS decided to deal with this issue in future rulemaking. The impact of this payment modifier cannot be determined at this time.

In addition, certain provisions of the PPACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services, and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. The Medicare Acute Care Episode Demonstration is currently underway at several healthcare system demonstration sites. The impact of these projects on us cannot be determined at this time.

Furthermore, the PPACA may adversely affect payors by increasing their medical cost trends, which could have an effect on the industry and potentially impact our business and revenues as payors seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas, although the extent of this impact is currently unknown.

Following challenges to the constitutionality of certain provisions of the PPACA by a number of states, on June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provisions of the PPACA, but struck down the provisions that would have allowed HHS to penalize states that do not implement Medicaid expansion provisions through the loss of existing federal Medicaid funding. At least 26 states and the District of Columbia have implemented or are planning to implement the Medicaid expansion. It is uncertain whether the remaining states will implement the expansion at a later date, or whether any participating states will discontinue the expansion. While the PPACA will increase the likelihood that more people in the United States will have access to health insurance benefits, we cannot quantify or predict with any certainty the likely impact of the PPACA on our business model, financial condition or results of operations.

Another key part of the PPACA has also been challenged in the courts and, depending on the outcome, could have an impact on the number of uninsured persons we treat. The PPACA provides for subsidies to individuals who cannot afford health insurance and who purchase it through healthcare “exchanges”, which are electronic marketplaces where individuals can shop for and purchase health insurance. The PPACA authorizes two types of exchanges: exchanges established by the states (“state exchanges”), and, in states which do not establish state exchanges, federally-facilitated exchanges or “federal exchanges”. In several cases challenging the PPACA, opponents of the law have alleged that subsidies should only be payable to purchasers who buy insurance through state exchanges and that subsidies paid under the federal exchanges are illegal. Trial courts in two of these cases ruled in favor of the Obama Administration and the plaintiffs in both cases appealed. One of the cases, Halbig v. Burwell , No. 14-5018, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 13880 (D.C. Cir. Jul. 22, 2014) was heard by the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, and the other case, King v. Burwell , No. 14-1158, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 13902 (4th Cir. Jul. 22, 2014), was heard by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Although the two appeals court decisions were handed down the same day, July 22, 2014, they reached opposite conclusions, with the King court upholding the payment of subsidies under federal exchanges and the Halbig decision finding them illegal. A petition for writ of certiorari has been filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in the King case . A petition for rehearing en banc has been filed with the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals in the Halbig case.

In the event that federal exchange subsidies are ultimately deemed unlawful, some states that currently have a federal exchange may establish their own state exchanges in order for their residents to remain eligible for the subsidies. However, to the extent that does not occur, the payor mix of the patients we treat may be adversely affected, such that we incur additional bad debt from increased numbers of uninsured and underinsured patients. Further, in the absence of federal exchange subsidies, the individual and employer mandates imposed by the PPACA could be adversely affected and may not be fully enforceable. Since the outcome of these contradictory court decisions is unknown, and any conclusions regarding the reaction of consumers and insurers would be speculative, we cannot predict the impact of these cases on our business or profitability.

If we are unable to timely enroll our providers in the Medicare program, our collections and revenue will be harmed.

The 2009 Physician Fee Schedule rule substantially reduced the time within which providers can retrospectively bill Medicare for services provided by such providers from 27 months prior to the effective date of the enrollment to 30 days prior to the effective date of the enrollment. In addition, the new enrollment rules also provide that the effective date of the enrollment will be the later of the date on which the enrollment application was filed and approved by the Medicare contractor, or the date on which the provider began providing services. If we are unable to properly enroll physicians and midlevel providers within the 30 days after the provider begins providing services, we will be precluded from billing Medicare for any services which were provided to a Medicare beneficiary more than 30 days prior to the effective date of the enrollment. Such failure to timely enroll providers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the PPACA added additional enrollment requirements for Medicare and Medicaid enrollment. Those statutory requirements have been further enhanced through implementing regulations and increased enforcement scrutiny. Every enrolled provider must revalidate its enrollment at regular intervals, and must update the Medicare contractors and many state Medicaid programs with significant changes on a timely (and typically very short) basis. If we fail to provide sufficient documentation as required to maintain our enrollment, Medicare could deny continued future enrollment or revoke our enrollment and billing privileges.

If current or future laws or regulations force us to restructure our arrangements with physicians, professional corporations and hospitals, we may incur additional costs, lose contracts and suffer a reduction in net revenue under existing contracts, and we may need to refinance our debt or obtain debt holder consent.

A number of laws bear on our relationships with our physicians. There is a risk that state authorities in some jurisdictions may find that our contractual relationships with our physicians violate laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting. These laws generally prohibit the practice of medicine by lay entities or persons and are intended to prevent unlicensed persons or entities from interfering with or inappropriately influencing the physician’s professional judgment. They may also prevent the sharing of professional services income with non-professional or business interests. From time to time, including recently, we have been involved in litigation in which private litigants have raised these issues.

Our physician contracts include contracts with individual physicians and with physicians organized as separate legal professional entities (e.g., professional medical corporations). Antitrust laws may deem each such physician/entity to be separate, both from EmCare and from each other and, accordingly, each such physician/practice is subject to a wide range of laws that prohibit anti-competitive conduct between or among separate legal entities or individuals. A review or action by regulatory authorities or the courts could force us to terminate or modify our contractual relationships with physicians and affiliated medical groups or revise them in a manner that could be materially adverse to our business.

Various licensing and certification laws, regulations and standards apply to us, our affiliated physicians and our relationships with our affiliated physicians. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in our services being found to be non-reimbursable or prior payments being subject to recoupment, and can give rise to civil or criminal penalties. We routinely take the steps we believe are necessary to retain or obtain all requisite licensure and operating authorities. While we have made reasonable efforts to substantially comply with federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations and standards as we interpret them, we cannot assure you that agencies that administer these programs will not find that we have failed to comply in some material respects.

EmCare’s professional liability insurance program, under which insurance is provided for most of our affiliated medical professionals and professional and corporate entities, is reinsured through our wholly owned subsidiary, EMCA. The activities associated with the business of insurance, and the companies involved in such activities, are closely regulated. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations can result in civil and criminal fines and penalties and loss of licensure. While we have made reasonable efforts to substantially comply with these laws and regulations, and utilize licensed insurance professionals where necessary or appropriate, we cannot assure you that we will not be found to have violated these laws and regulations in some material respects.

Adverse judicial or administrative interpretations could result in a finding that we are not in compliance with one or more of these laws and rules that affect our relationships with our physicians.

These laws and rules, and their interpretations, may also change in the future. Any adverse interpretations or changes could force us to restructure our relationships with physicians, professional corporations or our hospital customers, or to restructure our operations. This could cause our operating costs to increase significantly. A restructuring could also result in a loss of contracts or a reduction in revenue under existing contracts. Moreover, if we are required to modify our structure and organization to comply with these laws and rules, our financing agreements may prohibit such modifications and require us to obtain the consent of the holders of such debt or require the refinancing of such debt.

Our relationships with healthcare providers and facilities and our marketing practices are subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and similar state laws, and we entered into a settlement in 2006 for alleged violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute.

We are subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of “remuneration” in return for, or to induce, the referral of business or ordering of services paid for by Medicare or other federal programs. “Remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to mean anything of value, including, for example, gifts, discounts, credit arrangements, and in-kind goods or services, as well as cash. Certain federal courts have held that the Anti-Kickback Statute can be violated if “one purpose” of a payment is to induce referrals. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in imprisonment, civil or criminal fines or exclusion from Medicare and other governmental programs. Recognizing that the federal Anti-Kickback Statute is broad, Congress authorized the OIG to issue a series of regulations, known as “safe harbors”. These safe harbors set forth requirements that, if met in their entirety, will assure healthcare providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal, or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities, such as the OIG.

In 1999, the OIG issued an Advisory Opinion indicating that discounts provided to health facilities on the transports for which they are financially responsible potentially violate the Anti-Kickback Statute when the ambulance company also receives referrals of Medicare and other government-funded transports from the facility. The OIG has clarified that not all discounts violate the Anti-Kickback Statute, but that the statute may be violated if part of the purpose of the discount is to induce the referral of the transports paid for by Medicare or other federal programs, and the discount does not meet certain “safe harbor” conditions. In the Advisory Opinion and subsequent pronouncements, the OIG has provided guidance to ambulance companies to help them avoid unlawful discounts.

Like other ambulance companies, we have provided discounts to our healthcare facility customers (nursing homes and hospitals) in certain circumstances. We have attempted to comply with applicable law when such discounts are provided. However, the government alleged that certain of our hospital and nursing home contracts in effect in Texas prior to 2002 contained discounts in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and in 2006 we entered into a settlement with the government regarding these allegations. The settlement included a CIA. The term of that CIA has expired, we have filed a final report with the OIG and this CIA was released in February 2012.

There can be no assurance that other investigations or legal action related to our contracting practices will not be pursued against AMR in other jurisdictions or for different time frames. Many states have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply to referral of patients for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any payor, not only the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and do not contain identical safe harbors. Additionally, we could be subject to private actions brought pursuant to the False Claims Act’s “whistleblower” or “qui tam” provisions which, among other things, allege that our practices or relationships violate the Anti-Kickback Statute. The False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity who, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal healthcare program. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery. In recent years, the number of suits brought by private individuals has increased dramatically. In addition, various states have enacted false claim laws analogous to the False Claims Act. Many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any third party payor and not merely a federal healthcare program. There are many potential bases for liability under these false claim statutes. Liability arises, primarily, when an entity knowingly submits, or causes another to submit, a false claim for reimbursement. Pursuant to changes in the PPACA, a claim resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute can constitute a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act. Further, the PPACA amended the Anti-Kickback Statute in a manner which makes it easier for the government to demonstrate intent to violate the statute which is an element of a violation.

In addition to AMR’s contracts with healthcare facilities and public agencies, other marketing practices or transactions entered into by EmCare and AMR may implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Although we have attempted to structure our past and current marketing initiatives and business relationships to comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute, we cannot assure you that we will not have to defend against alleged violations from private or public entities or that the OIG or other authorities will not find that our marketing practices and relationships violate the statute.

If we are found to have violated the Anti-Kickback Statute or a similar state statute, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or may be required to enter into settlement agreements with the government to avoid such sanctions. Typically, such settlement agreements require substantial payments to the government in exchange for the government to release its claims, and may also require us to enter into a CIA.

Changes in our ownership structure and operations require us to comply with numerous notification and reapplication requirements in order to maintain our licensure, certification or other authority to operate, and failure to do so, or an allegation that we have failed to do so, can result in payment delays, forfeiture of payment or civil and criminal penalties.

We and our affiliated physicians are subject to various federal, state and local licensing and certification laws with which we must comply in order to maintain authorization to provide, or receive payment for, our services. For example, Medicare and Medicaid require that we complete and periodically update enrollment forms in order to obtain and maintain certification to participate in programs. Compliance with these requirements is complicated by the fact that they differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and in some cases are not uniformly applied or interpreted even within the same jurisdiction. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead not only to delays in payment and refund requests, but in extreme cases can give rise to civil or criminal penalties.

In certain jurisdictions, changes in our ownership structure require pre- or post-notification to governmental licensing and certification agencies, or agencies with which we have contracts. Relevant laws in some jurisdictions may also require re-application or re-enrollment and approval to maintain or renew our licensure, certification, contracts or other operating authority. Our changes in corporate structure and ownership involving changes in our beneficial ownership required us in some instances to give notice, re-enroll or make other applications for authority to continue operating in various jurisdictions or to continue receiving payment from their Medicaid or other payment programs. The extent of such notices and filings may vary in each jurisdiction in which we operate, although those regulatory entities requiring notification generally request factual information regarding the new corporate structure and new ownership composition of the operating entities that hold the applicable licensing and certification.

While we have made reasonable efforts to substantially comply with these requirements, we cannot assure you that the agencies that administer these programs or have awarded us contracts will not find that we have failed to comply in some material respects. A finding of non-compliance and any resulting payment delays, refund demands or other sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we fail to comply with the terms of our settlement agreements with the government, we could be subject to additional litigation or other governmental actions which could be harmful to our business.

In the last seven years, we have entered into two settlement agreements with the U.S. Government. In September 2006, AMR entered into a settlement agreement to resolve allegations that AMR subsidiaries provided discounts to healthcare facilities in Texas in periods prior to 2002 in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. In May 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a CIA with the OIG to resolve allegations that AMR subsidiaries submitted claims for reimbursement in periods dating back to 2000. The government believed such claims lacked support for the level billed in violation of the False Claims Act.

In connection with the September 2006 settlement for AMR, we entered into a CIA which required us to maintain a compliance program which included the training of employees and safeguards involving our contracting process nationwide (including tracking of contractual arrangements in Texas). The term of that CIA has expired, we have filed a final report with the OIG and this CIA was released in February 2012.

In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the DOJ. The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present. The subpoena required us to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York. We produced documents responsive to the subpoena. The government identified claims for reimbursement that the government believes lack support for the level billed, and invited us to respond to the identified areas of concern. We reviewed the information provided by the government and provided our response. On May 20, 2011, AMR entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ and a CIA with the OIG in connection with this matter. Under the terms of the settlement, AMR paid $2.7 million to the federal government. We entered into the settlement in order to avoid the uncertainties of litigation, and have not admitted any wrongdoing.

In connection with the May 2011 settlement for AMR, we entered into a CIA with the OIG which requires us to maintain a compliance program. This program includes, among other elements, the appointment of a compliance officer and committee, training of employees nationwide, safeguards for our billing operations as they relate to services provided in New York, including specific training for operations and billing personnel providing services in New York, review by an independent review organization and reporting of certain reportable events. On July 1, 2013, we divested substantially all of the assets underlying AMR’s service in New York, although the obligations of our compliance program remain in effect for ongoing AMR operations.

In July 2011, AMR received a subpoena from the USAO seeking certain documents concerning AMR’s provision of ambulance services within the City of Riverside, California. The USAO indicated that it, together with the OIG, was investigating whether AMR violated the federal False Claims Act and/or the federal Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with AMR’s provision of ambulance transport services within the City of Riverside. The California Attorney General’s Office conducted a parallel state investigation for possible violations of the California False Claims Act. In December 2012, we were notified that both investigations were concluded and that the agencies had closed the matter. There were no findings made against AMR, and the closure of the matter did not require any payments from AMR.

On August 7, 2012, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting copies of documents for the period from January 1, 2007 through the present that appears to primarily be focused on EmCare’s contracts for services at hospitals that are affiliated with HMA. The Company has been cooperating with the government during its investigation and, as such, continues to gather responsive documents. During the months of December 2013 and January 2014, several lawsuits filed by whistleblowers on behalf of the federal and certain state governments against HMA have been unsealed; the Company is a named defendant in two of these lawsuits. Although the federal government intervened in these lawsuits in connection with certain of the allegations against HMA, the federal government has not, at this time, disclosed whether it will intervene in these matters as they relate to the Company. The Company continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives and, at this time, the Company is unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

On February 14, 2013, EmCare received a subpoena from the OIG requesting documents and other information relating to EmCare’s relationship with Community Health Services, Inc. The Company is cooperating with the government during its investigation, has provided responsive documents and is engaged in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant government representatives regarding additional requests. At this time, we are unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from these investigations.

In November 2013, AMR received a subpoena from the New Hampshire Department of Insurance directed to American Medical Response of Massachusetts, Inc. The subpoena requested documents relating to ambulance services provided to approximately 150 patients residing in the state of New Hampshire who had been involved in motor vehicle accidents and who were ultimately transported by AMR. In addition, the subpoena requested information relating to any agreements for reimbursement between AMR and Progressive Insurance. The Company is cooperating with the Department during its investigation and, as such, is in the process of gathering responsive documents, formulating a response to the subpoena, and is seeking to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the relevant New Hampshire Department of Insurance and Attorney General’s Office representatives. At this time, we are unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that will result from this investigation.

We cannot assure you that the CIAs or the compliance program we have initiated have prevented, or will prevent, any repetition of the conduct or allegations that were the subject of these settlement agreements, or that the government will not raise similar allegations in other jurisdictions or for other periods of time. If such allegations are raised, or if we fail to comply with the terms of the CIAs, we may be subject to fines and other contractual and regulatory remedies specified in the CIAs or by applicable laws, including exclusion from the Medicare program and other federal and state healthcare programs. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on the conduct of our business, our financial condition or our results of operations.

If we are unable to effectively adapt to changes in the healthcare industry, our business may be harmed.

Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry in the United States to fundamental change. The PPACA was signed into law in 2010 and is currently in the implementation stages. See “— Risks Related to Healthcare Regulation — The impact of recent healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending on us is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business model, financial condition or results of operations”. The PPACA and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending may adversely affect our revenue. We anticipate that Congress and state legislatures may continue to review and assess alternative healthcare delivery and payment systems and may in the future propose and adopt legislation effecting additional fundamental changes in the healthcare delivery system.

We cannot assure you as to the ultimate content, timing or effect of changes, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential legislation. Further, it is possible that future legislation enacted by Congress or state legislatures could adversely affect our business or could change the operating environment of our customers. It is possible that changes to the Medicare or other government reimbursement programs may serve as precedent to similar changes in other payors’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to us. Similarly, changes in private payor reimbursement programs could lead to adverse changes in Medicare and other government payor programs which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in the rates or methods of third party reimbursements, including due to political discord in the budgeting process outside our control, may adversely affect our revenue and operations.

We derive a majority of our revenue from direct billings to patients and third party payors such as Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance companies. As a result, any changes in the rates or methods of reimbursement for the services we provide could have a significant adverse impact on our revenue and financial results. The PPACA could ultimately result in substantial changes in Medicare and Medicaid coverage and reimbursement, as well as changes in coverage or amounts paid by private payors, which could have an adverse impact on our revenues from those sources.

In addition to changes from the PPACA, government funding for healthcare programs is subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy and determinations by intermediaries and governmental funding restrictions, all of which could materially impact program coverage and reimbursements for both ambulance and physician services. In recent years, Congress has consistently attempted to curb spending on Medicare, Medicaid and other programs funded in whole or part by the federal government. For example, Congress has mandated that the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, commonly known as “MedPAC”, provide it with a report making recommendations regarding certain aspects of the Medicare ambulance fee schedule. MedPAC issued a Report to the Congress on Medicare and the Health Care Delivery System in June 2013. In that report, MedPAC recommended reductions in payment for some types of ambulance services and increases in others. If Congress implements these recommendations it is possible that the resultant changes in the ambulance fee schedule will decrease payments by Medicare for our ambulance services. State and local governments have also attempted to curb spending on those programs for which they are wholly or partly responsible. This has resulted in cost containment measures such as the imposition of new fee schedules that have lowered reimbursement for some of our services and restricted the rate of increase for others, and new utilization controls that limit coverage of our services. For example, we estimate that the impact of the ambulance service rate decreases under the national fee schedule mandated under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, as modified by the phase-in provisions of the Medicare Modernization Act, resulted in a decrease in AMR’s net revenue of approximately $18 million in 2010, an increase of less than $1 million in 2011, and an increase of $6 million in 2012. In 2013, we expected an increase of approximately $3 million from the provisions outlined above, but the sequestration cuts implemented on April 1, 2013 offset the increase resulting in a reduction of approximately $2 million for the full year 2013. In addition, state and local government regulations or administrative policies regulate ambulance rate structures in some jurisdictions in which we conduct transport services. We may be unable to receive ambulance service rate increases on a timely basis where rates are regulated, or to establish or maintain satisfactory rate structures where rates are not regulated.

Legislative provisions at the national level impact payments received by EmCare physicians under the Medicare program. Physician payments under the Physician Fee Schedule are updated on an annual basis according to a statutory formula (the “SGR”). Because application of the statutory formula for the update factor would result in a decrease in total physician payments for the past several years, Congress has intervened with interim legislation to prevent the reductions. The Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010, which was signed into law on December 15, 2010, froze the 2010 updates through 2011. For 2012, CMS projected a rate reduction of 27.4% from 2011 levels (earlier estimates had projected a 29.5% reduction). The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011, signed into law on December 23, 2011, froze the 2011 updates through February 29, 2012 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act, enacted January 2, 2013, extended this through December 31, 2013.

On December 26, 2013, the President signed into law the Continuing Appropriations Resolution 2014 (Public Law 113-67), which included a 3-month delay in the SGR 20% cuts, and a small update of 0.5% in the conversion factor (the dollar amount paid per Relative Value Unit, or “RVU”). Further, the bill also extended the national floor of 1.0 for the Geographic Practice Cost Index (“GPCI”). This factor geographically adjusts the “work” portion of each RVU before it is paid, based on the locality labor costs. This “work floor” set at the national average labor rate of 1.0 was set to expire after December 31, 2013. Like the SGR delays, the work floor expired starting April 1, 2014. On April 1, 2014, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-93) was signed into law, which further delayed the SGR cuts through March 31, 2015 and extended the GPCI work floor through April 1, 2015. However, despite the benefits of the delays in both SGR cuts and the RVU’s work floor, the Congressional actions do not avert the scheduled 2% sequestration cuts for Medicare discussed below.

The modest update factor of 0.5% does not translate to 2014 payment rates increased uniformly from the 2013 level for all physician procedures. Rather, from year-to-year, some physician specialties, including EmCare’s physicians (who are emergency medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, hospitalists and radiologists), may see higher or lower payments due to a variety of regulatory factors. Each physician service bill codes given weights (RVUs) that measure its costliness relative to other physician services. CMS is required to make periodic assessments regarding the weighting of procedures, impacting the payment amounts. For 2014, CMS published estimates of changes by specialty based on a number of factors. The full impact of these changes on any given practice went into effect at the beginning of 2014. CMS estimated that the impact for 2014 is a 2% increase for emergency medicine, 1% increase in anesthesiology, a 1% increase for internal medicine, and a 2% reduction in radiology. CMS estimates in a proposed rule published July 11, 2014 (CMS-1612-P) that the impact for 2015 is flat for emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and radiology, and estimates a 1% increase for internal medicine. At this time, we cannot predict the impact, if any, these changes will have on EmCare’s future revenues.

We believe that regulatory trends in cost containment will continue. We cannot assure you that we will be able to offset reduced operating margins through cost reductions, increased volume, the introduction of additional procedures or otherwise. In addition, we cannot assure you that federal, state and local governments will not impose reductions in the fee schedules or rate regulations applicable to our services in the future. Any such reductions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act was enacted. Under the Budget Control Act, the Joint Committee was established to develop recommendations to reduce the deficit, over 10 years, by $1.2 to $1.5 trillion, and was required to report its recommendations to Congress by November 23, 2011. Under the Budget Control Act, Congress was then required to consider the Joint Committee’s recommendations by December 23, 2011. If the Joint Committee failed to refer agreed upon legislation to Congress or did not meet the required savings threshold set out in the Budget Control Act, a sequestration process would be put into effect, government-wide, to reduce federal outlays by the proposed amount. Because the Joint Committee failed to report the requisite recommendations for deficit reduction, the sequestration process was set to automatically start, impacting Medicare and certain other government programs beginning in January 2013. Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed into law on January 2, 2013, delaying the start of sequestration until March 1, 2013. In order to provide its contractors and providers sufficient lead time to implement the cuts in Medicare, CMS delayed implementation of the cuts until April 1, 2013. As there has been no further Congressional action with respect to the sequestration, reimbursements were cut by 2% for Medicare providers, including physicians and ambulance providers, starting April 1, 2013, and cuts are scheduled annually through 2021. A subsequent round of budget sequestration cuts took effect in January 2014, further reducing Medicare provider reimbursements by another 2% for 2014. The Continuing Appropriations Resolution 2014 (Public Law 113-67), enacted December 26, 2013, extends the annual budget sequestration cuts to Medicare provider payments for an additional two years through 2023.

Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness may adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from making payments on our indebtedness.

We have substantial indebtedness. As of September 30, 2014, we had total indebtedness, including capital leases, of approximately $2,041.3 million, including $750.0 million of the 2022 Notes, $1,289.3 million of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $2.0 million of other long-term indebtedness. In addition, as of September 30, 2014, after giving effect to approximately $130.2 million of letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility, we are able to borrow approximately $319.8 million under the ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2014, we also had approximately $142.0 million in operating lease commitments.

The degree to which we are leveraged may have important consequences for holders of our common stock. For example, it may:

· make it more difficult for us to make payments on our indebtedness;

· increase our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions, including recessions and periods of significant inflation and financial market volatility;

· expose us to the risk of increased interest rates because any borrowings we make under the ABL Facility, and our borrowings under the Term Loan Facility under certain circumstances, will bear interest at variable rates;

· require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other expenses;

· limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate;

· place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less indebtedness; and

· limit our ability to borrow additional funds that may be needed to operate and expand our business.

Table of Contents

Despite our indebtedness levels, we, our subsidiaries and our affiliated professional corporations may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness which may increase the risks created by our substantial indebtedness.

We, our subsidiaries and our affiliated professional corporations may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The Company is not subject to any restriction on its ability to incur indebtedness. The terms of the indenture governing the 2022 Notes and the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities do not fully prohibit our subsidiaries and our affiliated professional corporations from incurring indebtedness. If the Company’s subsidiaries are in compliance with certain incurrence ratios set forth in the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, the Company’s subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness, which may increase the risks created by our current substantial indebtedness. Our affiliated professional corporations are not subject to the covenants governing any of our indebtedness. After giving effect to $130.2 million of letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility, as of September 30, 2014, we are able to borrow an additional $319.8 million under the ABL Facility.

We will require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. The ability to generate cash or refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

The Company and EVHC are each holding companies, and as such they have no independent operations or material assets other than their ownership of equity interests in their respective subsidiaries and our subsidiaries’ contractual arrangements with physicians and professional corporations. The Company and EVHC each depend on their respective subsidiaries to distribute funds to them so that they may pay their obligations and expenses, including satisfying their indebtedness. Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our obligations under, our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and other corporate expenses will depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions, dividends or advances, which in turn will depend on their future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors and any legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of distributions and dividends to which they may be subject. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated cost savings and operating improvements will be realized or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable it to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness or to fund our other needs. In order for us to satisfy our obligations under our respective indebtedness and fund our planned capital expenditures, we must continue to execute our business strategy. If we are unable to do so, we may need to reduce or delay our planned capital expenditures or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. Significant delays in our planned capital expenditures may materially and adversely affect our future revenue prospects. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The indenture governing the 2022 Notes and the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities restrict the ability of most of our subsidiaries to engage in some business and financial transactions.

Indenture. The indenture governing the 2022 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

· incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

· pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions in respect of our capital stock;

· repurchase, prepay or redeem subordinated indebtedness;

· create liens;

· transfer or sell assets;

· create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers;

· make investments;

· consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

· enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

Table of Contents

· designate any of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

· incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

· pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions in respect of our capital stock;

· make investments;

· repurchase, prepay or redeem junior indebtedness;

· agree to payment restrictions affecting the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers;

· incur additional liens;

· transfer or sell assets;

· consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

· enter into certain transactions with affiliates;

· agree to payment restrictions affecting our restricted subsidiaries;

· make negative pledges; and

· designate any of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The credit agreement governing the ABL Facility also contains other covenants customary for asset-based facilities of this nature. Our ability to borrow additional amounts under the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility depends upon satisfaction of these covenants. Events beyond our control can affect our ability to meet these covenants.

Our failure to comply with obligations under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes and the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may result in an event of default under that indenture or those credit agreements. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. We cannot be certain that we will have funds available to remedy these defaults. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all.

An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.

Our indebtedness under the ABL Facility bears interest at variable rates, and, to the extent LIBOR exceeds 1.00%, our indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility bears interest at variable rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could increase the cost of servicing such debt and materially reduce our profitability and cash flows. As of September 30, 2014, assuming all ABL Facility revolving loans were fully drawn and LIBOR exceeded 1.00%, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would result in approximately a $17.4 million increase in annual interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The impact of such an increase would be more significant for us than it would be for some other companies because of our substantial debt.

We may be unable to raise funds necessary to finance the change of control repurchase offers required by the indenture governing the 2022 Notes.

Under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control, EVHC must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The occurrence of specified events that would constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes would also constitute a default under the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities that permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder and would require EVHC to offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may limit or prohibit the purchase of the 2022 Notes by us in the event of a change of control, unless and until the indebtedness under the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full. As a result, following a change of control event, EVHC may not be able to repurchase the 2022 Notes unless all indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is first repaid and any other indebtedness that contains similar provisions is repaid, or EVHC may obtain a waiver from the holders of such indebtedness to provide it with sufficient cash to repurchase the 2022 Notes. Any future debt agreements that we enter into may contain similar provisions. We may not be able to obtain such a waiver, in which case EVHC may be unable to repay all indebtedness under the 2022 Notes. We may also require additional financing from third parties to fund any such repurchases, and we may be unable to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or at all. Further, our ability to repurchase the 2022 Notes may be limited by law. In order to avoid the obligations to repurchase the 2022 Notes and events of default and potential breaches of the credit agreements governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we may have to avoid certain change of control transactions that would otherwise be beneficial to us.

The stock markets have experienced extreme volatility in recent years that has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Any litigation of this type brought against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of September 30, 2014, we had 183,381,792 shares of common stock outstanding. Of these shares, all of the 129,050,000 shares of common stock sold in our initial public offering in August of 2013, and in the secondary offerings in February, July, and September of 2014, are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining shares of our common stock outstanding will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but will be eligible for resale subject to applicable volume, means of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

In August 2013, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to register the shares of common stock to be issued under our equity compensation plans and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of stock options granted under our plans will also be freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our affiliates. As of September 30, 2014, there were stock options outstanding to purchase a total of 12,686,968 shares of our common stock and there were 124,182 shares of our common stock subject to restricted stock units. In addition, 16,539,527 shares of our common stock are reserved for future issuances under our Omnibus Incentive Plan.

In the future, we may issue additional shares of common stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into common stock in connection with a financing, acquisition, litigation settlement or employee arrangement or otherwise. Any of these issuances could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our stock or publishes misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The CD&R Affiliates will have significant influence over us and may not always exercise their influence in a way that benefits our public stockholders.

The CD&R Affiliates own approximately 27.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, the CD&R Affiliates will continue to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval for the foreseeable future, including approval of significant corporate transactions, which may reduce the market price of our common stock.

Although the CD&R Affiliates have reduced their beneficial ownership below 30% of our outstanding common stock, they will still be able to assert significant influence over our Board of Directors and certain corporate actions. The CD&R Affiliates have the right to designate a number of nominees for election to our Board of Directors (the “CD&R Designees”) equal to: (i) at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 20% but less than 30% of the outstanding shares of our common stock; and (ii) at least 5% of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors as long as the CD&R Affiliates own at least 5% but less than 20% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Because the CD&R Affiliates’ interests may differ from your interests, actions the CD&R Affiliates take as a significant stockholder may not be favorable to you. For example, the concentration of ownership held by the CD&R Affiliates could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of us or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination which another stockholder may otherwise view favorably. Other potential conflicts could arise, for example, over matters such as employee retention or recruiting, or our dividend policy.

Table of Contents

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the CD&R Affiliates and their respective affiliates and, in some circumstances, any of our directors and officers who is also a director, officer, employee, member or partner of the CD&R Affiliates and their respective affiliates, have no obligation to offer us corporate opportunities.

The policies relating to corporate opportunities and transactions with the CD&R Affiliates set forth in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“amended and restated certificate of incorporation”) address potential conflicts of interest between the Company, on the one hand, and the CD&R Affiliates and their respective officers and directors who are directors or officers of our company, on the other hand. By becoming a stockholder in the Company, you will be deemed to have notice of and have consented to these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Although these provisions are designed to resolve conflicts between us and the CD&R Affiliates and their respective affiliates fairly, conflicts may not be so resolved.

Future offerings of debt or equity securities, which would rank senior to our common stock, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If, in the future, we decide to issue debt or equity securities that rank senior to our common stock, it is likely that such securities will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock and may result in dilution to owners of our common stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our common stock will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting the value of their stock holdings in us.

Fulfilling our obligations incident to being a public company, including with respect to the requirements of and related rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, is expensive and time-consuming, and any delays or difficulties in satisfying these obligations could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and our stock price.

Our initial public offering was completed on August 19, 2013. As a new public company, we are subject to the reporting and corporate governance requirements, under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, that apply to issuers of listed equity, which impose certain significant compliance costs and obligations upon us. The changes necessitated by being a publicly listed company require a significant commitment of additional resources and management oversight which will increase our operating costs. These changes will also place additional demands on our finance and accounting staff and on our financial accounting and information systems. Other expenses associated with being a public company include increases in auditing, accounting and legal fees and expenses, investor relations expenses, increased directors’ fees and director and officer liability insurance costs, registrar and transfer agent fees and listing fees, as well as other expenses. As a public company, we are required, among other things, to define and expand the roles and the duties of our Board of Directors and its committees and institute more comprehensive compliance and investor relations functions.

In particular, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2014 our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unmodified report regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (at such time as it is required to do so), investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. This could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE, or other regulatory authorities.

We could be the subject of securities class action litigation due to future stock price volatility, which could divert management’s attention and adversely affect our results of operations.

The stock market in general, and market prices for the securities of companies like ours in particular, have from time to time experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of the underlying companies. A certain degree of stock price volatility can be attributed to being a newly public company. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In certain situations in which the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a similar lawsuit against us, the defense and disposition of the lawsuit could be costly and divert the time and attention of our management and harm our operating results.

Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws could discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws include a number of provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws collectively:

· authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our Board of Directors to thwart a takeover attempt;

· provide for our classified Board of Directors, which divides our Board of Directors into three classes, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms, which prevents stockholders from electing an entirely new Board of Directors at an annual meeting;

· limit the ability of stockholders to remove directors;

· provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an enlargement of our Board of Directors, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

· prohibit stockholders from calling special meetings of stockholders;

· prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;

· establish advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before an annual meeting of our stockholders; and

· require the approval of holders of at least 66 2 / 3 % of the outstanding shares of our common stock to amend our amended and restated by-laws and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

These provisions may prevent our stockholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price of our common stock offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if the provisions are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws may also make it difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions may facilitate management entrenchment that may delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our control, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We do not intend to declare and pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth, to develop our business, for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common stock for the foreseeable future and the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares. In addition, our operations are conducted almost entirely through our subsidiaries. As such, to the extent that we determine in the future to pay dividends on our common stock, none of our subsidiaries will be obligated to make funds available to us for the payment of dividends. Further, the indenture governing the 2022 Notes and the agreements governing the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility significantly restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to us. In addition, Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock.

We are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE rules and the rules of the SEC. However, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements during a one year transition period.

As of July 16, 2014, the CD&R Affiliates no longer control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Consequently, under the NYSE corporate governance rules, we are required to (i) appoint a majority of independent directors to our Board of Directors within one year of the date we no longer qualified as a “controlled company”, (ii) appoint a majority of independent directors to each of the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees within 90 days of the date we no longer qualified as a “controlled company” and such committees must be composed entirely of independent directors within one year of such date, and (iii) have an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees. During these transition periods, we may continue to utilize the available exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements as permitted by the NYSE rules. Accordingly, during the transition periods, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance standards.
