Proxy Statement Pursuant to Section 14(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Amendment No.              )

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
PRIMEDEX HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND
RADIOLOGIX, INC.

Primedex Health Systems, Inc., which is referred to as “Primedex,” and Radiologix, Inc., which is referred to as “Radiologix,” have entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of Radiologix by Primedex through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primedex with and into Radiologix. Upon successful completion of the merger, Radiologix stockholders will receive a combination of cash and Primedex common stock in exchange for their shares of Radiologix common stock. Pursuant to the merger, Radiologix stockholders will receive aggregate consideration of 22,621,922 shares of Primedex common stock and $42,950,000 in cash. Based upon the closing price of $2.69 for Primedex common stock as of October 6, 2006, the record date for the stockholder meetings, each Radiologix stockholder would receive $1.78 in cash for each Radiologix share, plus one share of Primedex common stock for total consideration valued at $4.47 per share. Upon completion of the merger, we estimate that, subject to adjustment as described above, Radiologix’s former stockholders will own approximately 33.9% of the outstanding shares of Primedex common stock, based on the number of shares of Radiologix and Primedex common stock outstanding on the record date. Primedex’s stockholders will continue to own their existing shares. In connection with the proposals set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Primedex stock may be subject to transfer restrictions which are necessary to preserve Primedex’s unrestricted use of its net operating loss carry-forwards.

Shares of Primedex common stock are currently traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “PMDX.OB.” Upon completion of the merger, Radiologix common stock, which is currently traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “RGX,” will be delisted.

The merger will be nontaxable for federal income tax purposes to Primedex and its stockholders. The merger will be taxable for federal income tax purposes to the stockholders of Radiologix.

We are each holding meetings of our stockholders in order to obtain those approvals necessary to consummate the merger and to approve other matters as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. At the Primedex special meeting, Primedex will ask its common stockholders to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger and the issuance of shares of Primedex common stock in connection with the merger and to approve other Primedex special meeting matters described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. At the Radiologix special meeting, Radiologix will ask its common stockholders to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, and to vote on the other Radiologix special meeting matters described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The obligations of Primedex and Radiologix to complete the merger are also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several other conditions to the merger, including antitrust clearance. We received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act on August 21, 2006. More information about Primedex, Radiologix and the proposed merger is contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, carefully and in their entirety, in particular, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 48.

After careful consideration, each of our boards of directors has approved the merger agreement and has determined that the merger agreement and the merger are advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders of Primedex and Radiologix, respectively. Accordingly, the Radiologix board of directors recommends that the Radiologix stockholders vote FOR the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, and FOR the other Radiologix special meeting matters. The Primedex board of directors recommends that the Primedex stockholders vote FOR the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger and the issuance of Primedex common stock to be issued in connection with the merger, and FOR the other Primedex special meeting matters.

We are very excited about the opportunities the proposed merger brings to both Radiologix and Primedex stockholders, and we thank you for your consideration and continued support.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Merger (beginning on page 100)

General

On July 6, 2006, the boards of directors of Radiologix and Primedex each unanimously approved the merger of Radiologix with Merger Sub, a newly formed and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Primedex, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the merger agreement. The surviving company of the merger will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Primedex.

We encourage you to read the merger agreement, which governs the merger and is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, because it sets forth the terms of the merger of Merger Sub with and into Radiologix.

Merger Consideration

If the merger is completed, holders of Radiologix common stock (other than dissenting Radiologix stockholders who properly exercise their appraisal rights) will be entitled to receive aggregate consideration of 22,621,922 shares of Primedex and $42,950,000 in cash (cash and stock together is referred to as the “merger consideration”). After the merger is completed, Radiologix stockholders will have the right to receive the merger consideration but they will no longer have any rights as Radiologix stockholders. Based upon the closing price of Primedex common stock on October 6, 2006, the record date, of $2.69, each Radiologix stockholder would receive $1.78 in cash for each Radiologix share, plus one share of Primedex common stock for total consideration valued at $4.47 per share. Based upon the closing price of Primedex common stock, on the record date, of $2.69, Radiologix stockholders will collectively own approximately 33.9% of the outstanding Primedex shares, or 30.5% of the Primedex shares on a fully diluted basis. The merger agreement also provides Primedex the option to elect to reduce the share consideration by up to 3.5 million shares and to increase the cash consideration by $2 per share, provided that Primedex advises Radiologix of its election prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Primedex has advised Radiologix that it does not intend to exercise this option because Primedex believes it is in the best interests of all stockholders for Primedex to preserve the $7 million of cash for other purposes. In connection with the proposals set forth in this proxy statement, Primedex’s common stock may be subject to transfer restrictions which are necessary to preserve Primedex’s unrestricted use of its net operating loss carry-forwards. Radiologix stockholders will receive the merger consideration after exchanging their Radiologix certificates in accordance with the instructions contained in the letter of transmittal to be sent to all Radiologix stockholders shortly after the closing of the merger.

The total value of the merger consideration that a Radiologix stockholder receives in the merger may vary. The value of the stock portion of the merger consideration is not fixed and will depend upon the value of Primedex common stock on the effective date of the merger. This value may be ascertained by

2

multiplying the trading price of Primedex common stock by the number of shares of Primedex common stock received in the merger. The value of the cash portion of the merger consideration will depend on the amount of cash delivered to Radiologix option holders. As illustrated in the table below, the cash portion of the merger consideration decreases as the value of Primedex common stock on the effective date of the merger increases. This result occurs because additional Radiologix option holders will receive cash out of the merger consideration equal to the difference between the value of the per share merger consideration and the exercise price per share of their options, as the value of Primedex common stock becomes greater than the exercise price of the option holder’s option. As more Radiologix option holders hold options that are “in-the-money,” the total amount of cash delivered to such option holders increases and the cash available to the Radiologix stockholders decreases.

Financing of Merger

Primedex has signed a commitment letter with GE Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services for a $405 million senior secured credit facility, which is expected to close concurrently with the closing of the merger. The facility will be used to finance the merger, to refinance existing indebtedness, to pay transaction costs and expenses relating to the merger and the credit facility and to provide financing for working capital needs post-merger. Consummation of the financing is a condition to the closing of the merger.

Fractional Shares

No fractional Primedex common shares will be issued in the merger. Instead, holders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Primedex common stock will receive an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest by the average closing price for a share of Primedex common stock as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten trading days prior to, but not including, the effective time of the merger.

3

Radiologix Options and Unvested Shares

Radiologix Stock Options

Holders of unvested options exercisable for Radiologix common stock will become vested in their options as a result of the merger. Holders of options exercisable for Radiologix common stock, whose exercise price per share is less than the value of the per share merger consideration, will receive for each share subject to such options an amount in cash out of the aggregate merger consideration equal to the difference between the value of the per share merger consideration and the exercise price per share of their options. Options exercisable for Radiologix common stock with an exercise price per share that is greater than the value of the per share merger consideration shall not be assumed or substituted by Primedex but shall vest upon the effective date of the merger and become fully exercisable to the holder of such option pursuant to the terms of the applicable option agreement. Any vested option that is not exercised prior to the effective time shall terminate and be void as of the effective time of the merger.

Unvested Shares of Radiologix Common Stock

Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Radiologix will have cancelled, repurchased, accelerated, vested or otherwise extinguished or awarded all shares of Radiologix common stock that are restricted, not fully vested or subject to any other restriction, and there will be no remaining unvested shares of Radiologix common stock at the effective time of the merger.

Recommendation of the Boards of Directors to Radiologix and Primedex Stockholders (beginning on page 105)

Radiologix Stockholders

The Radiologix board of directors believes that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Radiologix and its stockholders and has approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. The Radiologix board of directors has unanimously resolved to recommend that Radiologix stockholders vote FOR the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.

The Primedex board of directors has unanimously resolved to recommend that Primedex stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger and the issuance of Primedex common stock pursuant to the merger agreement.

described in its opinion, the merger consideration to be received by holders of shares of Radiologix common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. The full text of Bear Stearns’ written opinion is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. Radiologix encourages you 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. Bear Stearns’ opinion is addressed to the Radiologix board of directors and is one of many factors considered by the Radiologix board of directors in deciding to approve the merger. Bear Stearns’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or whether such stockholder should take any other action relating to the transaction. For its services, Bear Stearns will be entitled to receive a transaction fee equal to 1.10% of the total aggregate value of the merger consideration paid to Radiologix stockholders, currently estimated to be $2,200,000, the principal portion of which is payable upon the completion of the transaction.

Opinion of Primedex’s Financial Advisor

Jefferies & Company, Inc., which is referred to as “Jefferies,” served as Primedex’s financial advisor in connection with the merger. On July 6, 2006, Jefferies rendered to Primedex’s board of directors its opinion as investment bankers to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the various considerations and assumptions set forth therein, the aggregate merger consideration of 22,621,922 shares of Primedex common stock and $42.95 million in cash to be paid by Primedex pursuant to the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Primedex. The full text of the Jefferies opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Jefferies in rendering its opinion, is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. The Jefferies opinion was provided to Primedex’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger. The Jefferies opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Primedex stockholder should vote on the merger or any other matter. For its services, Jefferies will be entitled to a transaction fee of $2,000,000, of which $500,000 was paid upon delivery of its opinion and the balance of which is payable upon the completion of the transaction.

When considering the recommendation of its board of directors with respect to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, Radiologix stockholders should be aware that some directors and executive officers of Radiologix have interests in the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement that may be different from, or in addition to, their interests as stockholders and the interests of Radiologix stockholders. These interests include:

·       payments under employment agreements which are triggered in the event of a merger;

·       potential appointment to the Primedex board of directors following the merger;

·       potentially becoming executive officers, employees or consultants of Primedex after the transaction;

·       accelerated vesting and exercisability of Radiologix stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units issued under Radiologix’s equity compensation plans;

·       with respect to certain Radiologix officers and employees who continue employment with Primedex immediately after the effective date of the merger, to the extent the closing of the merger occurs during the 2006 calendar year, continued benefits under Radiologix plans until December 31, 2006, and to the extent the closing of the merger occurs after the 2006 calendar year, continued benefits under Radiologix plans for six months after the closing or the end of the calendar year in which the closing of the merger occurs, whichever is earlier;

·       with respect to the Radiologix officers who do not continue employment with Primedex immediately after the effective date of the merger, payment of up to $1,000 per month to cover the medical insurance benefits described in such officer’s employment agreement until the earlier of (a) two years after the effective date of the merger or (b) the date on which such individual obtains substantially equivalent benefits from another party; and

·       Primedex’s agreement to indemnify each present and former Radiologix officer and director against liabilities arising out of that person’s services as an officer or director, and maintain directors’ and

6

officers’ liability insurance for a period of six years after closing to cover Radiologix directors and officers, subject to various limitations.

The Radiologix board of directors was aware of these arrangements during its deliberations on the merits of the merger and in deciding to recommend that you vote for the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, at the Radiologix special meeting.

Primedex Board of Directors After the Merger

The members of the Primedex board of directors who are in office immediately prior to the merger are expected to remain as members of the Primedex board of directors following the merger if elected pursuant to Primedex’s proposal No. 6. Promptly after the effective date of the merger, Primedex shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be elected to its board of directors up to three persons designated by Radiologix and reasonably acceptable to Primedex, two of whom shall, no later than January 1, 2007, meet the independence requirements of the SEC and any applicable exchange on which Primedex’s common stock is then traded.

Listing of Primedex Common Stock and Delisting of Radiologix Common Stock

Application will be made to have the shares of Primedex common stock issued in the merger approved for listing on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, where Primedex common stock currently is traded under the symbol “PMDX.OB.” If Primedex’s proposal No. 2 is approved to change Primedex’s name to Radnet, Inc., Primedex common stock will then trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “RDNT.” If the merger is completed, Radiologix common stock will no longer be listed on the American Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is referred to as the “Exchange Act,” and Radiologix will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.

Primedex intends to apply to have its shares of common stock listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market as soon as reasonably practicable after Primedex meets the listing criteria. Initial listing on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market requires the satisfaction by Primedex of quantitative listing standards relating to minimum trading price, market capitalization, number of public stockholders, market value of public float and other criteria. Primedex does not currently qualify for listing under these criteria. Primedex will work diligently to be listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market but can give no assurance that such listing will occur after the merger, or at all.

Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights (beginning on page 130)

Radiologix

Holders of Radiologix common stock who do not wish to accept the consideration payable pursuant to the merger may seek, under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, judicial appraisal of the fair value of their shares by the Delaware Court of Chancery. This value could be more than, less than or the same as the merger consideration for the Radiologix common stock. Failure to strictly comply with all the procedures required by Section 262 of the DGCL will result in a loss of the right to appraisal.

Annex F to this joint proxy statement/prospectus contains the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL, which relates to the rights of appraisal. We encourage you to read these provisions carefully and in their entirety.

7

Merely voting against the merger will not preserve the right of Radiologix stockholders to appraisal under Delaware law. Also, because a submitted proxy not marked “against” or “abstain” will be voted “for” the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, the submission of a proxy not marked “against” or “abstain” will result in the waiver of appraisal rights. Radiologix stockholders who hold shares in the name of a broker or other nominee must instruct their nominee to take the steps necessary to enable them to demand appraisal for their shares.

Holders of Radiologix common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with any other proposals to be voted on at the Radiologix special meeting.

Primedex

Under New York law, holders of Primedex common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with either the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, or the issuance of Primedex common stock in the merger or in connection with any other proposal to be voted on at the Primedex special meeting.

Under California law, if a class of equity securities of Primedex is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (or another applicable national securities exchange) at the time of the merger, a holder of Primedex common stock may have the right to dissent from the merger by exercising dissenters’ rights. If a Primedex stockholder elects to exercise dissenters’ rights, the stockholder must precisely comply with all of the procedures set forth in Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law. Merely voting against the merger will not preserve the right of Primedex stockholders to appraisal under California law. Annex G to this joint proxy statement/prospectus sets forth the full text of Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law, which relates to rights of appraisal. We encourage you to read these provisions carefully and in their entirety.

Antitrust Clearance

The completion of the merger is subject to compliance with the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, which we refer to as the “HSR Act.” The notifications required under the HSR Act to

10

the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, or the Antitrust Division, were filed on July 21, 2006, and early termination of the waiting period was granted August 21, 2006.

Primedex and Radiologix have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary proper or advisable under applicable law and regulations, including the HSR Act, to complete the merger as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than April 30, 2007, which date may be extended to May 31, 2007, in circumstances described below, in “Summary—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 11 and in “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 152.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (beginning on page 152)

Primedex and Radiologix can terminate the merger agreement before the effective date of the merger under enumerated circumstances, including:

·       by mutual written consent of Primedex and Radiologix;

·       by either Primedex or Radiologix, if the merger has not been completed before April 30, 2007, provided that such date may be extended by Primedex or Radiologix up to and including May 31, 2007 if all conditions to effect the merger other than one or more regulatory conditions have been or are capable of being satisfied at the time of such extension, and the regulatory conditions have been or are reasonably capable of being satisfied on or prior to May 31, 2007;

·       by either Primedex or Radiologix, if any governmental entity has issued any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, judgment, injunction, arbitration award, finding or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), that is in effect and that prevents or prohibits consummation of the merger;

·       by either Primedex or Radiologix, if Radiologix stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting and, in the case of a termination by Radiologix, the failure to obtain stockholder approval is not the result of Radiologix’s violation of the merger agreement. If, at the time of such termination, Primedex was entitled to terminate pursuant to the following bullet, termination by Radiologix as a result of Radiologix stockholders’ non-adoption of the merger agreement is effective only if Radiologix fulfills any obligations Radiologix may have to pay a termination fee of $3 million to Primedex and to reimburse Primedex for up to $1 million for its fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;

·       by Primedex, if prior to the receipt of Radiologix stockholder approval:

·        Radiologix’s board of directors withdraws, withholds, amends or modifies in a manner adverse to Primedex its recommendation to Radiologix’s stockholders in favor of adoption of the merger agreement;

·        Radiologix fails to include such recommendation in this proxy statement;

·        Radiologix’s board of directors approves or publicly recommends to its stockholders any other acquisition proposal;

·        Radiologix enters into any letter of intent or other contract for any other acquisition proposal;

·        Radiologix breaches any of its covenants relating to its obligation to hold the stockholder meeting, its board of directors’ obligation to recommend the adoption of the merger agreement or its obligation not to solicit other acquisition proposals; or

11

·        Radiologix’s board of directors fails to make a statement recommending the rejection of a tender or exchange offer not made by Primedex or any of its affiliates for Radiologix common stock within 10 business days after such tender or exchange offer is first published or given.

·       by either Primedex or Radiologix, if Primedex stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting and, in the case of a termination by Primedex, the failure to obtain stockholder approval is not the result of Primedex’s violation of the merger agreement.

·       by Primedex, if there is a material adverse effect with respect to Radiologix or if any of Radiologix’s covenants, agreements, representations or warranties are breached and not cured within 20 business days and, as a result of Radiologix’s breach or misrepresentation, the conditions to closing would not be satisfied;

·       by Radiologix, if there is a material adverse effect with respect to Primedex, RadNet or Merger Sub or if any of the covenants, agreements, representations or warranties of Primedex or Merger Sub is breached and not cured within 20 business days and, as a result, the conditions to closing would not be satisfied; and

·       by Radiologix, if prior to the receipt of Radiologix stockholder approval:

·        Radiologix has not violated any of the covenants with respect to considering other acquisition proposals,

·        a superior offer is made to Radiologix and is not withdrawn,

·        Radiologix has promptly provided written notice to Primedex advising Primedex that Radiologix has received a superior offer and intends to change the recommendation of its board of directors with respect to the merger or to terminate the merger agreement and the manner and timing in which Radiologix intends to do so,

·        Primedex has not, within five days after receipt of the notice of superior offer, made an offer that Radiologix’s board of directors determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with a financial advisor) to be at least as favorable to Radiologix stockholders as such superior offer, and

·        Radiologix’s board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such superior offer and any offer made by Primedex within five days after receipt of the notice of superior offer, the Radiologix board is required to withdraw or modify its recommendation to Radiologix stockholders to vote in favor of the merger, or to terminate the merger agreement and pay to Primedex a termination fee of $3 million plus up to $1 million for fees and expenses incurred by Primedex in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Radiologix stockholders under applicable law.

Termination Fees and Expenses (beginning on page 153)

Primedex

The merger agreement provides that Primedex will pay to Radiologix the sum of the fees and expenses Radiologix incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, in an amount up to $1 million, if the merger agreement is terminated by Radiologix under either of the following circumstances:

12

·       by Primedex, if:

·        any of Radiologix’s representations or warranties set forth in the merger agreement have become untrue or incorrect, Radiologix has not cured the misrepresentation within 20 business days after written notice of the misrepresentation, and the misrepresentation would cause conditions to the closing of the merger not to be satisfied; or

·        Radiologix has breached any of its covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement, has not cured the breach within 20 business days after written notice of the breach and the breach would cause conditions to the closing of the merger not to be satisfied;

·        Primedex has not, within five days after receipt of the notice of superior offer, made an offer that Radiologix’s board of directors determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with a financial advisor) to be at least as favorable to Radiologix stockholders as such superior offer, and

·        Radiologix’s board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such superior offer and any offer made by Primedex within five days after receipt of the notice of superior offer, the Radiologix board is required to withdraw or modify its recommendation to Radiologix stockholders to vote in favor of the merger, or to terminate the merger agreement and pay to Primedex a termination fee of $3 million, to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Radiologix’s stockholders under applicable law.

In addition to payment of Primedex’s expenses, Radiologix must pay Primedex a termination fee of $3 million if the merger agreement is terminated:

·       by Primedex, if prior to the receipt of Radiologix stockholder approval:

·        the Radiologix board of directors withdraws, withholds, amends or modifies in a manner adverse to Primedex its recommendation to Radiologix stockholders in favor of adoption of the merger agreement;

·        Radiologix has promptly provided written notice to Primedex advising Primedex that Radiologix has received a superior offer and intends to change the recommendation of its board of directors with respect to the merger or to terminate the merger agreement and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so;

14

·        Primedex has not, within five days after receipt of the notice of superior offer, made an offer that Radiologix’s board of directors determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with a financial advisor) to be at least as favorable to Radiologix stockholders as such superior offer; and

Limitation on Considering Other Acquisition Proposals (beginning on page 147)

Radiologix has agreed that it will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, and will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that Radiologix or its representatives do not, directly or indirectly:

·       solicit, initiate, seek, entertain, encourage, facilitate, support or induce any acquisition proposal or the making of any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal;

·       enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any communications or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information in response to or in connection with, any acquisition proposal;

·       agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend any acquisition proposal;

·       enter into any letter of intent or any other contract relating to any acquisition proposal;

·       submit any acquisition proposal to the vote of Radiologix stockholders;

·       withhold, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Primedex, the approval of the Radiologix board of directors of the merger agreement; or

·       take any action or position that is inconsistent with, or withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Primedex, the unanimous recommendation of the board that Radiologix stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

An “acquisition proposal” means any agreement, offer, proposal or indication of interest (other than from Primedex) relating to, or involving: the acquisition by any person or group of more than a 10% interest in Radiologix’s total outstanding voting securities or more than a 5% interest in the total outstanding voting securities of any material company subsidiary or any tender or exchange offer that would result in any person beneficially owning 10% or more of Radiologix’s total outstanding voting securities or more than a 5% interest in the total outstanding voting securities of any material company subsidiary; any merger or other business combination involving Radiologix or its subsidiaries; or any sale, lease, mortgage, exchange, license, acquisition, transfer, pledge or disposition of 10% or more of Radiologix’s consolidated assets.

At any time prior to obtaining stockholder approval, subject to various restrictions, the Radiologix board of directors may nevertheless in response to an acquisition proposal that the Radiologix board of directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors) is, or is reasonably likely to become, a superior offer:

·       enter into discussions with the person making the acquisition proposal; and

·       furnish to the person making the acquisition proposal information with respect to Radiologix and its subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement which contains terms that are at least as restrictive as the terms of the confidentiality agreement that Radiologix and Primedex have

15

executed in connection with the merger and provided that Radiologix furnishes Primedex with the same information it has furnished to the person making the acquisition proposal prior to or at the same time as the information is furnished to the person making the acquisition proposal.

However, in each case:

·       neither Radiologix, its subsidiaries, nor any of Radiologix’s or its subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, affiliates, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, advisors, investment bankers, brokers, agents and other representatives will have violated the restrictions on considering other acquisition proposals set forth in the merger agreement and summarized in the preceding bullet points;

·       the Radiologix board of directors must first conclude in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action is reasonably required for the Radiologix board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Radiologix stockholders; and

·       Radiologix must first notify Primedex in writing of the identity of the person making such acquisition proposal and the material terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal, and Radiologix’s intention to take actions in response to such acquisition proposal.

A “superior offer” means an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made by a third party for the acquisition by any person or group of more than a 50% interest in total outstanding Radiologix voting securities or any tender or exchange offer that would result in any person beneficially owning 50% or more of Radiologix’s total outstanding voting securities; any merger or other business combination involving Radiologix or its subsidiaries; or any sale, lease, transfer, pledge or disposition of 50% or more of its consolidated assets, on terms that the Radiologix board of directors has in good faith concluded (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisor) to be more favorable, from a financial point of view, to Radiologix stockholders than the terms of the merger agreement and is reasonably capable of being consummated.

Radiologix has agreed to advise Primedex within twenty-four hours of the receipt of any acquisition proposal, of any inquiry or offer that contemplates an acquisition proposal, any other notice that any person is considering making an acquisition proposal, or any request for non-public information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal:

·       of the material terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal, inquiry or request, and

·       the identity of the person making any such acquisition proposal, inquiry or request.

Nothing in the merger agreement prevents the Radiologix board of directors from withholding or modifying its unanimous recommendation to Radiologix stockholders in favor of adoption of the merger agreement, or terminating the merger agreement simultaneously with the payment of a termination fee to Primedex in the amount of $3 million plus up to $1 million for incurrence by Primedex of expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, if: Radiologix stockholders’ approval of the merger has not yet been obtained; Radiologix has not violated any of the restrictions on considering other acquisition proposals set forth in the merger agreement and summarized in the preceding paragraphs; a superior offer is made to Radiologix and is not withdrawn; Radiologix has promptly provided written notice to Primedex of the superior offer and the Radiologix board of directors’ intent to change its recommendation or to terminate the merger agreement; Primedex has not, within 5 business days after receipt of the written notice of a superior offer, made an offer to Radiologix that the Radiologix board of directors concludes in its good faith judgment after consultation with a financial advisor of national standing to be at least as favorable to Radiologix stockholders as such superior offer; and the Radiologix board of directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that, in light of such superior offer and any offer made by Primedex, it is required to withhold or modify such recommendation, or to terminate the merger agreement and pay to Primedex a termination fee in the amount of $3 million plus up to $1 million for incurrence by Primedex of expenses in connection with the

16

transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Radiologix stockholders under applicable legal requirements.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (beginning on page 138)

The merger will be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Radiologix stockholders. As a result, Radiologix stockholders will recognize gain or loss in respect of the merger equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash received and the fair market value of the shares of Primedex common stock received as of the effective time of the merger and (ii) the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in his or its shares of Radiologix common stock. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the stockholder held his or its shares of Radiologix common stock exchanged in the merger for more than one year.

Tax matters are complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to each Radiologix stockholder will depend on the facts of each stockholder’s situation. Radiologix stockholders are urged to read carefully the discussion in the section entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 138 and to consult their own tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of their participation in the merger.

Accounting Treatment

The merger will be accounted for as a business combination using the “purchase” method of accounting. Primedex will be the acquirer for financial accounting purposes.
