Update Regarding Litigation Related to the Proposed Mergers

As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “ Definitive Proxy Statement ”) filed by BioScrip, Inc. (“ BioScrip ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), on June 26, 2019, a lawsuit, captioned Schmidt v. Pate, et al ., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with the proposed merger of HC Group Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Option Care ”) with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioScrip, with Option Care surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioScrip.

On July 9, 2019, the plaintiffs in Schmidt filed a motion for expedited proceedings and on July 15, 2019, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware granted the plaintiff’s motion for expedited proceedings.

On June 27, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Lila Brennan v. BioScrip, Inc. et al. , was filed in connection with the merger in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint names BioScrip and the members of the BioScrip Board as defendants. The complaint alleges generally that the defendants caused BioScrip to file a definitive proxy statement relating to the merger that omits material information required to have been disclosed in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary injunction prohibiting defendants from proceeding with, consummating, or closing the transaction, damages, and costs incurred in bringing the action (including plaintiff’s attorneys’ and experts’ fees).

Supplemental Definitive Proxy Statement Disclosure

On June 26, 2019, BioScrip filed the Definitive Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies for a special meeting of BioScrip’s stockholders to be held on August 2, 2019 (the “ Special Meeting ”) where, among other things, stockholders will vote on a proposal to issue shares of BioScrip’s common stock as consideration in the merger and certain other matters in connection with the merger. BioScrip is electing to make supplemental disclosures in connection with the merger to the Definitive Proxy Statement as set forth below.

SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Page references in the below disclosures are to the Definitive Proxy Statement, and defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. BioScrip denies the allegations in the Schmidt complaint and motion for expedited proceedings and denies any alleged violations of law. Without admitting in any way that the disclosures below are material or otherwise required by law, BioScrip makes the following amended and supplemental disclosures solely for the purpose of mooting the allegations by Schmidt plaintiffs.

The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Mergers – Background of the Mergers ” is amended and supplemented as follows:

The disclosure on page 66 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is amended and supplemented by deleting the last full paragraph on page 66 and replacing it with the following:

On March 13, 2019, Moelis provided the BioScrip Board with updated disclosure on its relationships (if any) with the Ares Vehicles, Coliseum Capital and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (an affiliate of Option Care). With respect to Coliseum Capital, Moelis noted that it had not been engaged by (and had not received any fees from) Coliseum Capital over the prior three years. With respect to the Ares Vehicles, the engagements disclosed in the Moelis disclosure report indicated that Moelis had not been engaged directly by the Ares Vehicles and had received no fees directly from the Ares Vehicles. Moelis had received aggregate fees over the prior three-year period for engagements in which the Ares Vehicles or its affiliates had an interest, including (a) $17,078,000 pursuant to an in-court restructuring of a company of which the Ares Vehicles were an approximate 50% owner, (b) $7,144,000 pursuant to an out-of-court out of court restructuring of a company of which the Ares Vehicles were less than a 25% shareholder, (c) $2,850,000 and $4,739,000 pursuant to engagements by ad hoc committees of noteholders of which the Ares Vehicles were a member, (d) $4,522,000 pursuant to an engagement by an official committee of unsecured creditors of which the Ares Vehicles were a member, (e) $7,162,000 pursuant to sellside financial advisor engagements to companies of which the Ares Vehicles owned less than 35% of the equity in such companies, (f) $7,456,000 pursuant to a sellside financial advisor engagement to a company of which the Ares Vehicles was a financial sponsor, (g) $450,000 pursuant to a current engagement in connection with credit agreement amendments of a company of which Ares has 50% ownership and (h) a current verbal mandate as strategic financial advisor to a company of which the Ares Vehicles are a 50% shareholder (pursuant to which no fees had yet been earned). Moelis indicated that the updated disclosure report excluded previous assignments with companies or committees in which the Ares Vehicles held less than 10% of the equity or debt. The updated disclosure further stated to the BioScrip Board that Moelis's publicly reported revenues for 2018, 2017 and 2016 were $885,840,000, $684,615,000 and $613,373,000, respectively. The BioScrip Board reaffirmed, based upon the information provided by Moelis, that Moelis did not have any relationships that would be likely to impair its ability to provide independent advice to the BioScrip Board.
