This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 13, 2012 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) by Synergy Health US Holdings Limited (“Parent”), a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales, and SHM Acquisition, Inc. (“Purchaser”), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Parent. This Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of SRI/Surgical Express, Inc. (“SRI”), a Florida corporation, and the associated stock purchase rights distributed to SRI’s shareholders pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2010, between SRI and Registrar and Transfer Company, as amended (collectively with such shares of common stock, the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.70 per Share, in cash, net to the seller, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated June 13, 2012 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Letter of Transmittal”, and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

As permitted by General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information set forth in the Schedule TO, as amended by this Amendment, including all appendices, schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto and thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 12 of the Schedule TO. You should read this Amendment together with the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Item 1. Summary Term Sheet.

(1) The information incorporated by reference into Item 1 of the Schedule TO is amended by adding the following thereto:

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, July 12, 2012. The Offer was not extended. Based on preliminary information from the Depositary, shareholders of SRI had tendered and not withdrawn 5,365,901 Shares (including 137,204 Shares tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures), which represent approximately 82.7% of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis (other than the Restricted Stock Awards and Company Stock Options which SRI has cancelled and is in the process of cashing out in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), and therefore satisfies the Minimum Tender Condition. Purchaser has accepted for payment all validly tendered Shares and will promptly make payment to the Depositary for the accepted Shares.

As at least 80% of the outstanding Shares were validly tendered, Parent and Purchaser are able to effect a short-form merger in accordance with Section 607.1104 of the FBCA. Parent and Purchaser intend to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser with SRI in accordance with Section 607.1104 of the FBCA as promptly as practicable, without the need for a meeting of SRI’s shareholders. In the Merger, Purchaser will be merged with and into SRI, with SRI continuing as the Surviving Entity. At the Merger Effective Time, each Share then outstanding (other than any Shares held by SRI, Parent or any of their subsidiaries (including Purchaser)) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of the Shares, be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes. Following the Merger, all Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Parent and SRI issued a press release on July 13, 2012, announcing the completion of the Offer. Synergy Health plc also issued a press release on July 13, 2012, in compliance with London Stock Exchange requirements, announcing the completion of the Offer. The full text of these press releases are filed as Exhibits (a)(5)(F) and (a)(5)(G) respectively to the Schedule TO and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

(1) The information incorporated by reference into Item 4 of the Schedule TO is amended by adding the amendment contained in Item 1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 4 of the Schedule TO.

Item 8. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

(1) The information incorporated by reference into Item 8 of the Schedule TO is amended by adding the amendment contained in Item 1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 8 of the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information.

(1) The information incorporated by reference into Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended by adding the amendment contained in Item 1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 11 of the Schedule TO.
