This Schedule 13D is filed by (i) Deerfield Mgmt, L.P. (“Deerfield Mgmt”), (ii) Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (“Deerfield Management”), (iii) Deerfield Partners, L.P. (“Deerfield Partners”), (iv) Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P. (“DIMF” and, together with Deerfield Partners, collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”) and (v) James E. Flynn, a natural person (“Flynn” and, collectively with Deerfield Mgmt, Deerfield Management, Deerfield Partners, and DIMF, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the securities of Adeptus Health Inc. (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).
| Item 1. | Security and Issuer. |
This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Adeptus Health Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The address of the Company's principal executive office is 2941 Lake Vista Drive, Suite 200, Lewisville, Texas 75067.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
| | a) | This Statement is filed as a joint statement pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by the Reporting Persons. |
| | b) | The address of the principal business and/or principal office of each of the Reporting Persons is 780 Third Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, New York 10017. |
| | c) | Flynn is the managing member of the general partner of each of Deerfield Mgmt and Deerfield Management. Deerfield Mgmt is the general partner of each Fund, and Deerfield Management is the investment adviser of each Fund. Deerfield Partners and DIMF purchase, hold and sell securities and other investment products. Schedule A hereto sets forth information regarding persons referred in Instruction C to Schedule 13D. |
| | d) | During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of each Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). |
| | e) | In September 2013, Deerfield Management voluntarily agreed to settle a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) inquiry relating to six alleged violations of Rule 105 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations. The violations allegedly occurred between December 2010 and January 2013. Rule 105 generally prohibits purchasing an equity security in a registered offering if the purchaser sold short the same security during a restricted period (generally defined as five business days before the pricing of the offering). Rule 105’s prohibition applies irrespective of any intent to violate the rule. The settlement involved the payment by Deerfield Management of disgorgement, prejudgment interest and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of $1,902,224. Other than as set forth above in this Item 2(e), during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of each of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
The Reporting Persons intend to engage in further communications with members of the Board and management with respect to the foregoing and such other matters as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate from time to time. Such matters are likely to include plans or proposals specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Form of Schedule 13D, but the Reporting Persons have made no determination to pursue, and may not pursue, any such plan or proposal.
Depending on various factors and subject to the obligations described herein, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investments in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other financial instruments related to the Company or selling some or all of their beneficial or economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities relating to the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
| Item 5. | Interests in Securities of the Issuer |

Flynn is the managing member of the general partner of each of Deerfield Mgmt and Deerfield Management. Deerfield Mgmt is the general partner, and Deerfield Management is the investment adviser, of each Fund. Each of the Funds directly owns the shares shown as beneficially owned by such Fund.
(c) No Reporting Person has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Not Applicable.
(e) Not Applicable.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The Funds have entered into cash-settled swaps with a broker-dealer counterparty which represent economic exposure comparable to a notional interest in 1,272,789 shares of Common Stock, in addition to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Under the terms of each of the swaps, (i) the relevant Fund will be obligated to pay to the broker-dealer counterparty any negative price performance of the specified notional number of shares of Common Stock subject to the swap as of the expiration date of such swap, plus interest at rates set forth in the applicable contracts, and (ii) the counterparty will be obligated to pay the relevant Fund any positive price performance of the specified notional number of shares of Common Stock subject to the swap as of the expiration date of the swap. All balances will be settled in cash. The swaps do not give the Funds or any other Reporting Person direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Company and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Company. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock that may be referenced in the swap contracts or in any Common Stock or other securities or financial instruments that may be held from time to time by the counterparty to the contracts. The swaps expire on May 15, 2016 and June 27, 2016 with respect to notional interests in 23,761 and 1,249,028 shares of Common Stock, respectively.
