Item 8.01. Other Events.
     Effective June 30, 2010, the Company completed its reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada. The reincorporation was effected by a merger of American HomePatient, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AHP Delaware”), AHP Nevada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AHP Delaware, and AHP DE Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AHP Nevada, in accordance with the terms of the plan and agreement of merger dated as of May 21, 2010. The reincorporation and the terms of the merger were approved by the shareholders of AHP Delaware at the annual meeting of AHP Delaware’s shareholders held on June 30, 2010.

 


 

     In the reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of AHP Delaware was automatically converted into one share of AHP Nevada common stock and all options to acquire AHP Delaware common stock outstanding immediately prior to the reincorporation were automatically converted into options to acquire the same number of shares of AHP Nevada common stock. Shareholders are not required to exchange their existing stock certificates of AHP Delaware, which now represent the same number of shares of AHP Nevada. Outstanding shares of AHP Nevada common stock retain the same CUSIP number as the corresponding shares of AHP Delaware prior to the reincorporation, and AHP Nevada common stock continues to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the same symbol, “AHOM”. The reincorporation did not result in any material changes in our business, offices, assets, liabilities, obligations or net worth, or our directors, officers or employees. We continue to maintain our principal executive offices at 5200 Maryland Way, Suite 400, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027-5018.
     As a result of the reincorporation and by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), AHP Nevada is the successor issuer to AHP Delaware and has succeeded to the attributes of AHP Delaware as the registrant. AHP Nevada common stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and AHP Nevada is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and will hereafter file reports and other information with the SEC.
     A copy of the plan and agreement of merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
     On June 30, 2010, the Company issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, which announced that the reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada discussed above had been approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting and had been accomplished effective June 30, 2010.
