Item 1.01.

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 15, 2016, American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (together with certain of its subsidiaries, the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with HealthSmart Preferred Care II, L.P. (“HealthSmart”), a subsidiary of HealthSmart Holdings, Inc. Under the terms of Purchase Agreement, HealthSmart agreed to purchase certain specified assets and contracts from the Company related to the Company’s ancillary network business (the “Transaction”). The Transaction does not include the Company’s urgent care and primary care business and excludes other mutually agreed upon assets and liabilities.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification provisions, and closing conditions. The parties anticipate closing the transaction in third or fourth quarter of this year.

HealthSmart has been managing the Company’s ancillary network business since October 1, 2014 pursuant to a management services agreement.

In consideration of the purchased assets, HealthSmart will assume between approximately $2.2 million and $3.2 million of liabilities related to the ancillary network business and will forgive all amounts due HealthSmart under the management services agreement. The actual amounts to be forgiven and liabilities to be assumed by HealthSmart, and therefore the purchase price, will be determined at closing, but the Company estimates the total consideration for the sale to be in the range of $3.0 and $4.0 million. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $600,000 to HealthSmart reduce payment obligations to network providers, and committed to making an additional payment of approximately $257,000, less certain offsets, at closing.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.

Other Events.

On June 17, 2016, the Company announced by press release its entry into the Purchase Agreement as described in Item 1.01 above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
