Acadia Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”).  Acadia Merger Sub, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia that was recently formed in Delaware solely for the purpose of completing the merger. It does not conduct any business and has no material assets. Its principal executive offices have the same address and telephone number as Acadia.

 

PHC, Inc. (“PHC”).  PHC is a national healthcare company, which, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides psychiatric services to individuals who have behavioral health disorders, including alcohol and drug dependency, and to individuals in the gaming and transportation industries. PHC’s subsidiaries operate various substance abuse treatment and psychiatric facilities in Delaware, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia.

PHC also operates a website, Wellplace.com, which provides education and training for behavioral health professionals and internet support services to all of PHC’s subsidiaries. On July 1, 2011, PHC acquired substantially all of the assets of HHC Delaware, Inc. and its subsidiary (“HHC Delaware”), relating to MeadowWood Behavioral Health System (the assets acquired are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as “MeadowWood”), an acute care psychiatric hospital located in New Castle, Delaware, with 58 beds providing services to adults suffering with mental illness and substance abuse. PHC was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts corporation with corporate offices located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, MA 01960.

 

The Combined Company.  The combined company’s corporate name will be Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Acadia will do business as Pioneer Behavioral Health following the effective time of the merger. The combined company will be the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of inpatient behavioral health care services based upon the number of licensed beds. Acadia’s principal executive office located in Franklin, Tennessee will be the combined company’s principal executive office. Upon the completion of the merger, Acadia stockholders will own 77.5% and PHC stockholders will own 22.5% of the combined company’s issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. “Fully diluted” (as defined in the merger agreement and as used in this proxy statement/prospectus with respect to a party’s post-closing ownership percentage in the combined company) means the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Acadia common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Acadia common stock into which shares of PHC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted in accordance with the merger agreement, plus (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Acadia common stock issuable pursuant to PHC stock options and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger that have an exercise price equal to or less than the average per share closing prices of PHC Class A Common Stock as reported on AMEX for the ten full trading days ending on May 20, 2011. Acadia has applied for listing of its common stock to be issued in the merger on NASDAQ. Joey A. Jacobs, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia, will become the Chairman and Chief Executive

Officer of the combined company. Bruce A. Shear, President & Chief Executive Officer of PHC, will become the Executive Vice Chairman and a member of the board of directors of the combined company.

 

From and after the effective time of the merger, unless otherwise contemplated by Acadia’s certificate of incorporation, the authorized number of directors on the Acadia board of directors will be established and maintained at 12, and the Acadia board of directors will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of the initial Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders after the merger, the term of office of the initial Class II directors will expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after the merger and the term of office of the initial Class III directors will expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders after the merger. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the merger, directors elected to replace those of a class whose terms expire at such annual meeting will be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting after their election and until their respective successors will have been duly elected and qualified.

 

Except as set forth below, the following persons will be appointed to the Acadia board of directors as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and nominated for re-election and elected to the Acadia board of directors as follows: (i) Mr. Jacobs, as a Class III director and, after the expiration of his initial term as a director, for so long as he serves as the chief executive officer of Acadia or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) Mr. Shear, as a Class III director and, after the expiration of his initial term as a director, for one additional three-year term as a Class III director; (iii) William F. Grieco, a Class II director designated by Mr. Shear and a current director of PHC; and (iv) four directors designated by Waud Capital Partners. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the merger; provided that (A) so long as Waud Capital Partners, L.L.C. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Waud Capital Partners”) retain voting control over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia, Waud Capital Partners will have the right to designate seven directors, four of which will be Class I directors and three of which will be Class II directors and (B) in the event Waud Capital Partners ceases to have voting control over at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia, Waud Capital Partners will have the right to designate such number of directors of the total authorized number of directors in proportion to the total number of shares of Acadia over which Waud Capital Partners retains voting control relative to the total number of shares of Acadia then issued and outstanding (with the number of representatives rounded up to the next whole number in all cases); provided that all such rights will terminate when Waud Capital Partners ceases to hold at least 17.5% of Acadia’s outstanding voting securities.

 

The merger poses a number of risks to each company and its respective stockholders. In addition, both Acadia and PHC are subject to various risks associated with their businesses and their industry. These risks are discussed in detail under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18. You are encouraged to read and consider all of these risks carefully.

 

The purpose of the special meeting is to hold a vote on the merger agreement and related matters. The special meeting will be held on October 26, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at PHC’s headquarters located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, MA 01960.

 

After careful consideration, the PHC board of directors has unanimously (with Mr. Shear abstaining) approved the merger agreement and determined that the merger agreement is fair to, and in the best interests of, the stockholders of PHC. Therefore, the PHC board of directors recommends PHC stockholders vote FOR the approval of the merger agreement.

 

In connection with the merger, Stout Risius Ross, Inc. (“SRR”) delivered a written opinion to the PHC board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of their opinion, to the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “PHC common stock”), of the merger

consideration to be received by such holders (in the aggregate), and to the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock, of the merger consideration to be received by such holders (in the aggregate). The full text of SRR’s written opinion, dated May 19, 2011, is attached hereto as Annex C. You are encouraged to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken. SRR’s opinion is addressed to the PHC board of directors and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to any matters relating to the merger.

 

In connection with the merger, Acadia has entered into a second amendment, dated July 12, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”), to its senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Second Amendment will, among other things, permit the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The effectiveness of the Second Amendment is subject to certain closing conditions as described in “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Following the Merger,” including consummation of the merger and related transactions on or prior to December 15, 2011.

 

In connection with the merger agreement, Acadia received an amended and restated debt commitment letter, dated July 12, 2011 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), from Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies Finance”) to provide a senior unsecured bridge loan facility of up to $150 million in the event that $150 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) are not issued by Acadia to finance the merger (the “Bridge Facility”). Net proceeds from the issuance of $150 million of Senior Notes or, if the Senior Notes are not issued, drawings under the $150 million Bridge Facility will be used, in addition to existing cash balances, to pay the aggregate $5.0 million in cash payable to holders of PHC Class B Common Stock in connection with the merger, pay a dividend to Acadia’s existing stockholders, refinance certain existing indebtedness of PHC and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger. Acadia expects to issue $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and/or borrow $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount under the Bridge Facility. A portion of the borrowings will be used to make a payment to Waud Capital in connection with the termination of the Professional Services Agreement between Acadia and Waud Capital (as more fully described in “Acadia Interested Transactions — Professional Services Agreement,” the “Professional Services Agreement”) and to pay a dividend to the stockholders of Acadia immediately prior to the merger. The aggregate amount of such payments will be between $90 million and $80 million depending on the amount of net cash available after repayment of PHC’s indebtedness, the Class B merger consideration and fees and expenses related to the merger. We refer to such amount as the “net proceeds”. For a description of this calculation, see “The Merger Agreement — Acadia Dividend.” To the extent the amount available for such payments is less than $90 million, up to $10 million may be paid to Acadia’s stockholders in the form of promissory notes (each a “Deficit Note”) issued by Acadia. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, it is a condition to the obligation of both PHC and Acadia to complete the merger that the net proceeds not be less than $80 million. The first $15.6 million of the net proceeds will be used to make a payment to Waud Capital in connection with the termination of the Professional Services Agreement, with the remainder (including any Deficit Notes) issued to Acadia stockholders immediately prior to the merger as a dividend.

 

The Bridge Facility commitment is subject to certain closing conditions described under “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Following the Merger.” The Bridge Facility commitment will terminate on December 15, 2011 if the closing of the Bridge Facility has not been consummated on or before such date or if the merger agreement has been terminated or if the merger has been abandoned. In addition, the commitments to provide and arrange unsecured bridge loans will terminate upon the issuance of the Senior Notes.

 

Each of Acadia and PHC is obligated under the merger agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the debt financing on the terms contemplated. The receipt of the debt financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter is a condition to the obligation of both Acadia and PHC to consummate the merger.

 

The PHC board of directors has fixed the close of business on September 19, 2011, as the record date for determining the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to notice of and to

vote at the special meeting. As of the record date, PHC had 18,771,679 shares of Class A Common Stock and 773,717 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

 

PHC stockholders are being asked to vote on a proposal to approve the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that it is a condition to completion of the merger that the proposal to approve the merger agreement be approved by the stockholders of PHC. Approval of this proposal requires an affirmative vote of (i) at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class, (ii) at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class and (iii) at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class.

 

Each record holder of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock will be entitled at the special meeting to one vote for each share of PHC Class A Common Stock held on the record date. Each record holder of shares of PHC Class B Common Stock will be entitled at the special meeting to five votes for each share of PHC Class B Common Stock held on the record date on any matter on which they vote together with the holders of the Class A Common Stock.

 

Each share of PHC Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than (i) any shares of PHC Class A Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger agreement, (ii) any shares of PHC Class A Common Stock owned by any PHC subsidiary and (iii) any shares held by stockholders that properly demand and perfect their appraisal rights under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) and the merger agreement (“Excluded Shares”)) will be converted into and become exchangeable for one-quarter (1/4) of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of PHC Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the Excluded Shares) will be converted into and become exchangeable for (x) one-quarter (1/4) of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Acadia common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (y) an amount of cash equal to $5.0 million divided by the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of PHC Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than (i) any shares of PHC Class B Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) any share of PHC Class B Common Stock owned by a subsidiary of PHC). Based on the number of shares of PHC Class B Common Stock outstanding as of May 23, 2011, this calculation would have resulted in a cash payment of $6.46 per share of PHC Class B Common Stock.

 

The directors and executive officers of PHC, who as of May 23, 2011 held in the aggregate approximately 11% of the outstanding PHC Class A Common Stock, 93.2% of PHC Class B Common Stock and 24.8% of the outstanding voting power of the PHC Class A Common Stock and the PHC Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class, have agreed to vote their shares in favor of approval of the merger agreement.

 

Upon completion of the merger and the issuance of Acadia common stock in the merger, the directors and executive officers of PHC will collectively beneficially own approximately 3.2% of the outstanding stock of Acadia, calculated on the basis set forth under “Beneficial Ownership of Acadia Common Stock After the Merger.”

 

The directors and executive officers of PHC have interests in the merger that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of PHC stockholders generally.

 

Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, holders of PHC’s Class B Common Stock will collectively receive cash consideration in the merger of $5.0 million. Mr. Shear, PHC’s current Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 93.2% of PHC’s Class B Common Stock and will be entitled to receive cash merger consideration of approximately $4.7 million.

 

Mr. Shear, Robert H. Boswell, PHC’s current Senior Vice President, and Paula C. Wurts, PHC’s current Chief Financial Officer, are participants in the PHC change-in-control supplemental benefit plan for certain executive

employees. Pursuant to such plan, upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts are entitled to receive change in control payments of approximately $1,530,000, $465,000 and $408,000, respectively, payable as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, following the date of the closing of the merger.

 

Mr. Shear, Mr. Boswell and Ms. Wurts hold stock options to purchase shares of PHC Class A Common Stock, subject to various vesting provisions. Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, Acadia will assume these options in accordance with their existing terms, with the number of shares and the exercise prices adjusted in accordance with the merger exchange rate. Mr. Shear currently holds 170,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share, Mr. Boswell currently holds 85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share and Ms. Wurts currently holds 85,000 options exercisable at prices ranging from $1.08 per share to $2.95 per share.

 

Upon the closing of the merger, notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the corresponding PHC stock option plan or as otherwise set forth in a stock option agreement, with respect to the assumed PHC options granted to current PHC directors, (i) all such assumed options (other than those held by Mr. Shear) will be fully vested at closing, and (ii) such assumed options will not terminate as a result of such holder ceasing or failing to be a director or employee and will be fully exercisable at any time prior to the expiration of the option term.

 

After the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Boswell are expected to be employed by the combined company pursuant to employment agreements which are to become effective upon the closing of the merger.

 

Upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Shear will join the Acadia board of directors. In addition, upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Shear will become Acadia’s Executive Vice Chairman. After the closing of the merger, Messrs. Shear and Boswell may receive stock options to purchase shares of Acadia common stock.

 

At the completion of the merger, PHC will be merged with and into Merger Sub, and Merger Sub will continue as the surviving company of the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia.

 

After the completion of the merger, each outstanding PHC option granted under PHC’s stock option plans will be assumed by Acadia and will be converted into an option to purchase one-quarter of one share of Acadia common stock and each warrant to purchase one share of PHC stock will be assumed by Acadia and will be converted into a warrant to purchase one-quarter of one share of Acadia common stock. Except with respect to stock options previously granted to PHC directors (other than Mr. Shear), as further described in “The Merger Agreement — Assumption of Stock Options,” each assumed option and warrant will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date and exercise provisions as contemplated by the applicable award agreement) as were applicable to the corresponding option or warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

 

Acadia and PHC expect to complete the merger when all of the conditions to completion of the merger contained in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived. The merger will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

Acadia and PHC are working toward satisfying the conditions to the merger and expect to complete the merger in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

The merger agreement contains restrictions on the ability of PHC to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with a third party with respect to a proposal to acquire a significant interest in the equity or assets of PHC. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the merger agreement provides that, under specified circumstances, if PHC receives an unsolicited proposal from a third party to acquire a significant interest in PHC that PHC may engage in discussions or

negotiations with a third party if the PHC board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable laws, and the PHC board of directors determines in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such acquisition proposal either constitutes a superior proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal.

 

Acadia’s and PHC’s obligations to complete the merger are subject to certain conditions described under the heading “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger.”

 

Acadia and PHC may terminate the merger agreement by mutual agreement and under certain other circumstances. Acadia and PHC have agreed that if the merger agreement is terminated under the circumstances described under “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee,” PHC will pay Acadia $3,000,000 in fees.

 

The merger agreement provides that, except in circumstances described below, regardless of whether the merger is completed, Acadia and PHC will each pay their own expenses incurred in connection with the merger, except that Acadia and PHC will pay 75% and 25%, respectively, of all fees and expenses, other than attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred in relation to the printing and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of such filings, the filing fees under any applicable antitrust law or regulation or state “blue sky” laws or the listing fees incurred in obtaining (or attempting to obtain) listing and/or eligibility on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange.

 

In the event the merger agreement is terminated by PHC due to the fact that Acadia or Merger Sub has breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in the merger agreement such that a condition related to PHC’s obligation to close would not be satisfied, then Acadia will pay all of PHC’s reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by PHC and its affiliates on or prior to the termination of merger agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and shall be paid in four annual installments, with the first annual installment due within two business days of such termination, and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and third anniversary of such termination date.

 

In the event the merger agreement is terminated by Acadia under circumstances in which the termination fee is not then payable, due to the fact that (i) PHC has breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations or warranties such that a condition related to Acadia’s obligation to close would not be satisfied or (ii) the supplement to the disclosure schedules delivered to Acadia in connection with PHC’s recent acquisition of MeadowWood would cause a breach of a PHC representation or warranty such that a condition related to Acadia’s obligation to close would not be satisfied, then PHC will pay all of Acadia’s reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Acadia and its affiliates on or prior to the termination of the merger agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which amount will in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and shall be paid in four annual installments, with the first annual installment due within two business days of such termination, and the remaining payments being made on the first, second and third anniversary of such termination date.

 

Acadia, certain members of Acadia’s management and Waud Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates will enter into a stockholders agreement in connection with the consummation of the merger. The stockholders agreement will contain certain voting agreements and transfer restrictions with respect to equity of Acadia held by the stockholders party to the stockholders agreement and impose certain negative and affirmative covenants on

Acadia and its subsidiaries. The stockholders agreement will also grant certain board nomination, information and consent rights to Waud Capital Partners. See “Stockholders Agreement” for a description of the agreement.

 

The closing of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt by Acadia and PHC of opinions that the merger will constitute a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes and that Acadia and PHC will be parties to the reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. Assuming the merger constitutes a reorganization, subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” PHC stockholders whose shares of PHC common stock are exchanged in the merger solely for shares of Acadia common stock will not recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes on the exchange (except to the extent they receive cash in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia common stock), and PHC stockholders whose shares of PHC common stock are exchanged in the merger for shares of Acadia common stock and cash will recognize capital gain (but not loss) realized on the exchange in an amount not exceeding the amount of cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Acadia common stock). This tax treatment may not apply to certain PHC stockholders, as described in “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.” Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend on the facts of your own situation. You should consult your own tax advisors to fully understand the tax consequences to you of the merger, including estate, gift, state, local or non-United States tax consequences of the merger.

 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Acadia will account for the acquisition of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock through the merger under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.

 

Holders of shares of PHC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time who have not voted in favor of or consented in writing to the merger and who have properly demanded and perfected their rights to be paid the fair value of such shares in accordance with Section 13.02 of the MBCA, will not have such shares converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive merger consideration and will be entitled only to receive payment of the fair value of such shares, in accordance with Section 13.02 of the MBCA, unless and until such stockholder withdraws or effectively loses the right to dissent.

 

Following the effective time of the merger, Acadia will cause a letter of transmittal to be mailed to all holders of PHC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock containing instructions for surrendering their certificates. Certificates should not be surrendered until the letter of transmittal is received, fully completed and returned as instructed in the letter of transmittal.

 

We do not believe that notification will be required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder. However, given uncertainties regarding the future market price of the publicly traded stock of PHC and the uncertain closing date, we cannot currently predict with certainty whether notification will be required under the HSR Act. If such notification is required, the merger cannot be completed until each of Acadia and PHC files a notification and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated.

 

Acadia and/or PHC currently intend to obtain approvals from, file new license and/or permit applications with, or provide notice to applicable governmental authorities in connection with the merger. The approval of such governmental authorities, if any, is not a condition to Acadia or PHC’s obligation to complete the merger except where the failure to obtain any such approval would reasonably be expected to have a “Pioneer Material Adverse

Effect” or an “Acadia Material Adverse Effect” (each as defined in the merger agreement) or a material adverse effect on the parties’ ability to consummate such transactions.

 

In connection with the merger, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit (as amended) has been filed in Massachusetts state court. A second lawsuit has also been filed in federal district court in Massachusetts making essentially the same allegations against the same defendants. PHC, Acadia and Merger Sub believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

 

Upon completion of the merger, PHC stockholders will become stockholders of Acadia. The internal affairs of Acadia will be governed by Acadia’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws attached hereto as Annexes D and E. The internal affairs of PHC are governed by PHC’s restated articles of organization and bylaws. Due to differences between the governing documents of Acadia and PHC, the merger will result in PHC stockholders having different rights once they become Acadia stockholders.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data

 

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010 reflect (i) Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011, (ii) PHC’s acquisition of MeadowWood on July 1, 2011 and (iii) consummation of the merger and related transactions, as if the transactions had occurred on June 30, 2011 for the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and January 1, 2010 for the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations. The YFCS acquisition is reflected in Acadia’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 and the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of June 30, 2011 reflects the MeadowWood acquisition and the consummation of the merger and related transactions as if each had occurred on June 30, 2011.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is based on the historical financial statements of Acadia, YFCS, PHC and HHC Delaware and certain assumptions and adjustments as discussed in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 37 of this proxy statement/prospectus, including assumptions relating to the fair value of consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions of YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC. MeadowWood was acquired in an asset acquisition. The assets acquired consisted of substantially all of the assets of HHC Delaware. The pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination of any assets of HHC Delaware not acquired by PHC. The fiscal years of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware end December 31 while the fiscal year of PHC ends on June 30. The combined company will use Acadia’s fiscal year ending December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data combines Acadia’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 with the consolidated balance sheet of PHC and the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of HHC Delaware as of June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines Acadia’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the audited consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the year ended December 31, 2010, the audited consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 combines Acadia’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of YFCS from January 1, 2011 through the date of the YFCS acquisition, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010). The adjustments necessary to fairly present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data have been made based on available information and in the opinion of management are reasonable. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 37 of this proxy statement/prospectus. and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Historical Financial Information,” “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “PHC Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC acquisitions have been incorporated into the unaudited condensed combined financial information. The finalization of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will most likely result in changes in the values assigned to property and equipment and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what Acadia’s

financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the events noted above in fact occurred on the assumed dates or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future date or future period.
