Departure and Compensatory Arrangements of a Certain Officer

(b)     Debra K. Osteen, Executive Vice President of the Company and President of the Behavioral Health Division, who has been with the Company for almost 35 years, has informed the Company of her intention to retire from her position with the Company effective January 31, 2019.

(e)    Ms. Osteen and the Company have entered into a post retirement compensatory contract based upon her longevity with the Company. As a part of that agreement, Ms. Osteen has agreed to serve as a consultant for the Company for a period of at least two years following her retirement date.

As a part of the post retirement compensatory and consultant contract: (i) Ms. Osteen will retain the right to exercise options to purchase 350,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (175,000 of which are currently fully vested and exercisable and 175,000 of which are currently unvested), held by her in accordance with the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and the stock option agreements related thereto, except that the currently unvested options will continue to vest as originally scheduled at 25% per year on each of the first four anniversaries of the respective grant dates of the awards, and all of the outstanding options shall not expire on her separation date but rather will expire on the fifth anniversary of the respective grant dates of the awards, as originally scheduled; (ii) Ms. Osteen will also receive payment equivalent of one-year’s base salary; (iii) the Company will reimburse Ms. Osteen’s COBRA insurance premiums through the eighteenth month anniversary of her separation date; (iv) Ms. Osteen will deliver a release of all claims at the time of separation (with all payments provided in the separation agreement subject to receipt and effectiveness of that release); and (v) Ms. Osteen will be subject to certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. The Company expects to record the related expenses incurred in connection with the terms of this contract during the fourth quarter of 2018. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete recitation of all the terms and agreements of the separation and consulting agreement.

Alan Miller, Chief Executive Officer, and Marc Miller, President, will assume and share the interim responsibilities for the Behavioral Health Division in conjunction with Senior Vice Presidents of the Division. The Company will immediately commence a search for a permanent replacement to lead the Behavioral Health Division.

A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
