PDX PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund

Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE:PDX) has acquired Maternal Fetal Diagnostic Center of Atlanta, Inc., a physician group that provides services to women with complicated pregnancies. The practice was founded 18 years ago by Phillip L. Potter, M.D., a sole practitioner who sees patients at offices located near two Atlanta area hospitals. The group includes two nurse practitioners as well as clinical and administrative support staff, and Pediatrix will recruit an additional physician to the practice. Dr. Potter has joined Pediatrix to gain additional practice administrative resources to support increasing demand that is coming from a growing referral base, as well as to participate in clinical research. �I�m excited about the opportunities to collaborate on research with maternal-fetal medicine physicians throughout the country to find ways to improve the health of women with high-risk pregnancies,� said Dr. Potter. With the completion of this acquisition, the Company now has a network of more than 120 physicians practicing maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics across the nation. Pediatrix paid cash for the practice which is expected to contribute to earnings per share immediately. No additional terms of the transaction were announced. Pediatrix has completed seven physician group practice acquisitions during 2008 including one neonatal group, three pediatric cardiology groups, two maternal-fetal groups and one anesthesia group.
