Under the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, notice is given of the receipt of an application for an exemption of a change in ownership of O'Fallon Surgical Center, LLC, an ambulatory surgical treatment center located at 741 Insight Avenue, O'Fallon, Illinois (E-018-26).  Currently, Dr. Shakeel Ahmed ("Seller") owns 88.44% of the operating entity, O'Fallon Surgical Center, LLC, and 100% of Haris Assets, LLC, which owns the facility's real estate. Dr. Michael Stock of Ideal Eye Surgery, LLC ("Buyer") holds the remaining 11.56% operating interest. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, Dr. Stock will acquire all of Dr. Ahmed's operating interest, yielding 100% ownership of O'Fallon Surgical Center, LLC through Insight Surgical Holdings, LLC, and acquire the real estate through a separate entity, Insight741 LLC, for a total fair market value of $9,250,000.  

Post-closing, O'Fallon Surgical Center, LLC will remain the licensed operating entity at the same location, but its clinical focus will transition into a single-specialty center dedicated exclusively to ophthalmic surgical services integrated with Ideal Eye Surgery, LLC's clinical management infrastructure.
