Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:
“Closing of the Merger
As previously disclosed, each of Concentra, the Issuer and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for an Offer by Merger Sub for all of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Offer commenced on April 5, 2023. On May 3, 2023, the Offer expired and Merger Sub accepted for purchase a total of 36,367,727 shares tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 69.0926% of the total shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding. Following the expiration of the Offer, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer on May 3, 2023, pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and, among other things, each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time automatically converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (representing 10,000 shares in the aggregate) (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra.
As a result of the Offer and the Merger, Concentra acquired a total of 10,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Offer Price, representing an aggregate purchase price of $97,377,034.75 in cash and 60,142,813 CVRs.”
