business as planned; the combined company’s expected substantial
outstanding debt following the business combination; a decrease in
the number of patients the combined company’s customers serve; the
combined company’s ability to effect change in the manner in which
healthcare providers traditionally procure medical equipment; the

company’s ability to renew contracts with group purchasing
organizations and integrated delivery networks; changes in
reimbursement rates and policies by third-party payors; the impact
of healthcare reform initiatives; the impact of significant
regulation of the healthcare industry and the need to comply with
those regulations; the effect of prolonged negative changes in
domestic and global economic conditions; difficulties or delays in
the combined company’s continued expansion into certain of UHS’s
businesses/geographic markets and developments of new
businesses/geographic markets; additional credit risks in
increasing business with home care providers and nursing homes,
impacts of equipment product recalls or obsolescence; and increases
in vendor costs that cannot be passed through to the combined
company’s customers.
Neither FSAC nor UHS undertakes any obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
law.
