Press Release, dated May 12, 2003

 

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 9, Regulation FD Disclosure and Item 12, Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On May 12, 2003, AmeriPath, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting on its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The March 31, 2003 balance sheet included in the press release does not reflect the recording of a non-cash equity contribution by Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe IX, L.P. (the Company’s majority shareholder) to AmeriPath of $23.4 million. The effect of this adjustment was an increase to goodwill and a corresponding increase to stockholders’ equity. The following balance sheet included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2003, accurately reflects this adjustment. The effect of this adjustment had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or operating cash flows.
