PapalPower - 22 Dec 2005 00:22

Extract from Times article :

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,2706-2217603,00.html

................OASIS IS COURTED

Shares in Oasis Healthcare leapt 40 per cent to 24p after the dentist chain said it had received several approaches to buy the company.

Oasis declined to comment further, but City sources said that venture capital firms, including Legal & General Ventures, 3i and HgCapital, were understood to be lining up bids at 30p to 34p a share in what is likely to be a hotly contested auction.............

About Oasis Healthcare

Oasis Dental Care Ltd, is the UKs leading operator of dental practices in the UK, with over 120 practices throughout England and Wales. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Oasis Healthcare Plc, Oasis aims to become the national dentist of choice for patients, staff and associates, providing a recognised and consistent service.

History of the business

Oasis has acquired well-established, profitable dental practices with potential for expansion which satisfy specific criteria in terms of size, operating performance and clinical capability. Through investment in new surgeries, practice refurbishment and marketing, supported by the introduction of specialist services, such as Orthodontics and Implants, and increased focus on customer service and higher quality private treatment, the Company expects to achieve significant growth in practice turnover and profitability.

Oasis has undertaken a period of rapid growth since it was established in 1996. The key milestones have been:

1999 Oasis made up of four practices
2000 Growth to 12 practices and listed on AIM
2001 Acquisition of a further 23 practices
2002 Growth to 65 practices
2002 Acquisition of Ora Dental Group Ltd with a further 10 practices
2003 Acquisition of Dencare Management Group Ltd with a further 36 practices
Today Total estate of over 120 practices

The Oasis vision

Our vision is to be the national dentist of choice for patients, staff and dentists, providing a recognised and consistent service.
We aim to harness the capability of over 120 practices whilst recognising that dentistry is a local business which must respond to local needs. Our cluster model provides the balance required for our network of over 500 dentists and 1300 staff.
To meet our strategic vision we have therefore moved away from an overtly centralised business model to one structured into 21 geographically-based clusters of up to 10 practices.

The cluster model

Each cluster is run by a full-time cluster operations manager and a part-time cluster clinical director. This balanced management team - who are fully profit & loss accountable with the authority to make the majority of day-to-day capital expenditure decisions - ensure the application of local knowledge. This structure also ensures that staff and associates work in a culture of belonging to a wider Oasis community. This has a number of benefits:
optimisation of internal referrals
focus on local recruitment activity
sharing of resources, experience and best practise

Acting as a corporate body

Alongside the cluster teams we have five regional dental directors as well as the central clinical Board, formed of a majority of senior dentists. This team is charged with the construction and maintenance of our clinical governance framework, and to determine clinical support for the services we provide.
Our commercial team meanwhile focuses on optimising the commercial gains from our size and scope, including optimising supplier deals and implementing new products and services across the estate.

The future

In the short term Oasis will focus on the continued implementation of localised clustering and optimisation of profit from the existing estate. In the longer term we anticipate embarking on a structured acquisition strategy. We are confident that our vision and strategy will allow a success to be made from the corporate dentistry model.

Here is the latest (June 06) update from http://www.armshare.com

The company broker's note dated 31st May 06 projects fully taxed adjusted EPS of 3.3p for 2006/7, 4.1p for 2007/8 and 4.9p for 2008/9 representing P/Es of 4.5, 3.6 and 3.0 respectively based on the share price of 14.75p at 31st May.

"
The final results to March 2006 showed sales of 82.5 million (2005: 74.9 million), operating profit of 2.4 million (2005: (384,000)), pre-tax loss of 366,000 (2005: (2.9 million)) and adjusted EPS of 3.36p (1005: 1.78p). The company reported that the growth was achieved from 122 practices (2005: 125); practice EBITDA was 10.9 million (2005: 9.1 million) representing 13.2% of sales (2005: 12.1%) - there are a number of practices, particularly within Greater London, which are achieving under 10% (compared with the target of 15%) and for which strategies are being formulated to deliver improved performance over the current financial year; capex was 4.2 million, of which 1.2 million related to 8 new Welsh practices and 2.9 million was on modernising 36 surgeries; debt was reduced to 37.0 million (2005: 39.5 million); working with Kodak, a new clinical IT system is being developed which will, for example, enable the viewing of patient records by both the referring dentist and the relevant specialist, irrespective of geography.

Research Standing

We said " With the heady days of expansion over, at least for the moment, its going to be a long course of treatment, as exertion of buying muscle and the drive for private patients opens a long road towards the necessary levels of returns. It hasn't been pain free yet, but when the current cavity is filled it may well be time for the healing process to begin."

The company broker's note dated 31st May projects fully taxed adjusted EPS of 3.3p for 2006/7, 4.1p for 2007/8 and 4.9p for 2008/9 representing P/Es of 4.5, 3.6 and 3.0 respectively based on the share price of 14.75p at 31st May.

COMPANY MEETING

ArmShare met the current CEO on 1st December 2005. Oasis has followed the well trodden buy and build strategy, and reached the stage where conventional business skills needed to be applied if the organisation was to deliver shareholder value. In 2004, the CEO who implemented the initial strategy left and his replacement (who joined in August 2004) brought in-depth experience of running retail multi-site operations. This lead to the implementation of the cluster infrastructure referred to above - the early signs are that this is producing a virtuous circle of being more attractive to dentists, providing a better service to clients, organic sales growth and better margins - these early signs were endorsed by the final results to March 2006. Continuation of the virtuous circle will make it quite straightforward for the company to handle what presently looks like excessive borrowings totalling 37 million at March 2006 (2005: 39.5 million).

Pre-close Trading Update

Oasis Healthcare Plc, the operator of 134 dental practices across the UK, ahead of its closed period for the year ended 31 March 2007, is pleased to announce that its business continues to develop well and that performance was in line with its expectations. The Company's preliminary results will be announced on 30 May 2007.

Sales from both the NHS business and the private business are ahead significantly year on year. We are particularly pleased with our progress in the first year of the new NHS contract. Revenues accruing to the NHS contract
continue to build steadily and we are encouraged by the very high level NHS contract retention rolling into 2007-8.

New Tenders and growth contracts won during the year amounted to 5.9m of annualised revenue.

We are pleased with the performance of 2006-7 and are well placed and confident of delivering significant further progress in 2008.

Stephen Lambert, Chief Executive commented;

2006-7 was a year of continued development and growth for the Company. Twelve new practices were opened and we completed three practice acquisitions. In the current year, two practices that were due to open towards the year just ended will now open in the new financial year and recently we have been successful in tendering for three new practices.

PapalPower - 02 May 2007 12:17 - 98 of 109

Oasis Healthcare Plc ('Oasis' or the 'Company')
Further statement re: offer approaches

On 27 and 30 April Oasis Healthcare Plc issued announcements regarding the
receipt of a number of approaches to acquire the share capital of the Company.
It now announces that it has received a revised indicative proposal from the
party which had previously submitted an indicative proposal at 60p per share
which the Board had rejected. The revised indicative proposal at 65p per share
has also been rejected, again primarily on valuation grounds.

Oasis has separately advised the party that submitted the highest indicative
offer level that it is prepared to provide that party with further information
to assist it in finalising its proposal.

All the proposals received, including those rejected, were made subject to a
number of conditions and pre-conditions, including confirmatory due diligence
and finalisation of equity and debt financing arrangements and there can
therefore be no certainty that an offer will be made.

A further announcement will be made in due course. This announcement has not
been made with the approval or agreement of any of the parties which have
submitted the proposals and there can be no certainty that an offer will be made or as to the terms of any such offer.

5 July 2007

Revised cash offer for Oasis Healthcare Plc ("Oasis")

by Duke Street Capital Oasis Acquisitions Limited ("Duke Street")


Summary

* The Board of Duke Street is pleased to announce the terms of a
revised cash offer to acquire Oasis at 94 pence per Oasis Share.

* On 13 June 2007 the Board of Duke Street and the Independent Directors of
Oasis announced the terms of a recommended cash offer of 82 pence per Oasis
Share to be made by Duke Street, a company specifically
formed for the purpose of making the Offer, for the entire issued and to be
issued ordinary share capital of Oasis, as subsequently made by Duke Street
in the Original Offer Document dated 13 June 2007.

* Subsequently, on 20 June 2007, ADP Healthcare Acquisitions Limited
("ADP") announced its offer of 91 pence per Oasis Share for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Oasis not already held or
controlled by the ADP Group.

* The Increased Cash Offer values Oasis' entire existing issued and to be
issued ordinary share capital at approximately #88.2 million.

* Under the Increased Cash Offer the Oasis Shareholders will receive 94 pence
in cash for each Oasis Share.

* This represents a premium of:

(a) 100.0 per cent. over 47 pence, the Closing Price on the
last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period;

(b) 3.3 per cent. to the ADP Offer announced on 20 June 2007; and

(c) 2.5 per cent. over 91.75 pence, the Closing Price on 4
July 2007, the last Business Day prior to the announcement of the
Increased Cash Offer.

* Duke Street earlier this morning entered into unconditional share purchase
agreements, off market, with Joseph King (ex Deputy Chairman of Oasis),
Foresight Ventures, Singer & Friedlander, Chelverton and
Beringea/ProVen, all at a price of 94 pence per Oasis Share. As a result of
such transactions, Duke Street has unconditionally contracted to purchase
22,648,644 Oasis Shares representing approximately 27.4 per cent. of the Oasis Shares in issue. Each of these shareholders had previously given irrevocable undertakings in respect of their respective shareholdings.

* Duke Street also holds irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure the
acceptance of) the Increased Cash Offer from the Oasis Directors in respect
of their entire holdings and those of their immediate families, amounting to, in aggregate, 3,990,730 Oasis Shares, representing approximately 4.8 per cent of Oasis' existing issued ordinary share capital. The irrevocable
undertakings also cover Oasis Shares that may be issued, or acquired by, the Oasis Directors pursuant to the terms of the Oasis Share Option Schemes.
Such undertakings will cease to be binding if the Increased Cash Offer
lapses or is withdrawn without becoming unconditional in all respects.

* As at 1 p.m. on 4 July 2007, Duke Street had received valid acceptances from Oasis Shareholders, in respect of the Original Offer, representing, in
aggregate, approximately 1.85 per cent. of Oasis existing issued share
capital. The Increased Cash Offer will apply to such acceptances
in accordance with the terms set out in the Original Offer Document.

* Therefore, Duke Street has unconditionally contracted to acquire Oasis
Shares, received irrevocables from Oasis Directors and received
valid acceptances from certain Oasis Shareholders, which combined represent,
in aggregate, 34.05 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Oasis.


* The Board of Duke Street plans to seek a recommendation from the Independent Directors of Oasis for the Increased Cash Offer in due course.

* The Board of Duke Street announces that the Original Offer, which remains
subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Original Offer Document,
is being extended and will remain open for acceptance until the
next closing date which will be the date that is 14 days after the date the
Increased Offer Document is posted to Oasis Shareholders. Any further
extensions of the Increased Cash Offer will be publicly announced by
8.00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day following the day on which the
Increased Cash Offer is otherwise due to expire, or such later time or date
as the Panel may agree.
