Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced on March 4, 2016 that it was advised on November 13, 2015, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the “FBI”) that patient information was illegally obtained by an unauthorized third party who may have gained access to a Company database. The Company immediately hired a leading forensic firm to support its investigation, assess its system and bolster its security. Based on its investigation, the Company determined that the intruder may have accessed the database on October 3, 2015, which contained the personal information of some patients (including patient name, social security number, physician’s name, diagnoses and treatment and insurance information). The Company has no evidence that patient medical records were accessed. The Company is notifying approximately 2.2 million current and former patients that certain information may have been copied and transferred. The Company has no indication that patient information has been misused in anyway.

The FBI asked that the Company delay notification or public announcement of the incident until March 4, 2016 so as not to interfere with its investigation. Now that law enforcement’s request for delay has ended, the Company is notifying patients and regulatory agencies as quickly as possible.

The Company continues to work closely with the FBI on its investigation. In addition to security measures already in place, the Company has also taken additional steps to enhance internal security protocols to help prevent a similar incident in the future.

While the Company has contingency plans and insurance coverage for certain potential liabilities relating to the intrusion, the coverage may not be sufficient to cover all claims and liabilities. The Company will be responsible for deductibles and any other expenses that may be incurred in excess of insurance coverage. The Company will recognize these expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

On March 4, 2016, the Company issued a press release regarding this data breach. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
