DECISION Carve-out separation lead in a health-system acquiring a specialty practice must choose Proceed / Reprice / Walk / Hold using environmental known-condition schedule after add-backs that are just delayed opex.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Proceed now; environmental known-condition schedule already has the discriminator after add-backs that are just delayed opex. 2. Keep Reprice in force until environmental known-condition schedule is completed after add-backs that are just delayed opex for carve-out separation lead. 3. Treat environmental known-condition schedule as Walk because both readings appear after add-backs that are just delayed opex. 4. Refuse a M&A Due Diligence close: carve-out separation lead does not have the decision the carve-out is operable turns on in environmental known-condition schedule.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Map reps, earnout mechanics, and integration risk a health-system acquiring a specialty practice would inherit. 2.
