Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 26, 2011 MedCath Corporation (MedCath) entered into a definitive agreement to sell
substantially all the assets of Hualapai Mountain Medical Center (HMMC) in Kingman, Ariz., to
Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC). The transaction valued the assets of Hualapai Mountain Medical
Center, along with 18.6 acres of adjacent undeveloped land owned by Medcath, at $31.0 million plus retention of
working capital. Anticipated net proceeds to MedCath, including benefits from the liquidation of
retained accounts receivable and realization of tax losses on the sale, and after closing costs,
payment of known liabilities and the currently anticipated acquisition of the partnerships
minority investors ownership in accordance with the terms of an agreement entered into by MedCath
and the minority partners of the hospital, is anticipated to total approximately $42.0 million. The
anticipated net proceeds do not include any reserves for unknown or contingent liabilities retained
by the limited liability company that owns HMMC. The limited liability company that owns HMMC is
retaining liabilities arising from the ownership and operation of the hospital prior to the closing
of the sale. On August 26, 2011, KRMC made a $15 million deposit towards the purchase price with an
escrow agent. If the transaction does not close on or before November 30, 2011, or is
terminated, due to a default by KRMC, that deposit would be paid to HMMC as liquidated damages.
If the transaction does not close on or before November 30, 2011, or is terminated, for any other
reason, that deposit would be returned to KRMC. KRMC has the right to indemnification from
MedCath and HMMC in the event that prior to September 2, 2011 KRMC gives written notice to
MedCath that the final real esate survey which was delivered after August 26, 2011 reveals
material defects or issues with respect to the real estate included in the assets of HMMC,
and if such defects or issues cannot be cured for less than a total cost of $5 million, then
KRMC has the right to terminate the August 26, 2011 Asset Purchase Agreement.
In
order to avoid additional operating losses occurring at HMMC, the
closure of HMMC has been initiated and is expected to occur by
September 30, 2011. MedCath is expected to incur approximately
$4,000,000 in costs in connection with the closure of HMMC.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual August 26, 2011 Asset Purchase
Agreement by and among Kingman Hospital, Inc., DBA Kingman Regional Medical Center, Hualapai
Mountain Medical Center, LLC and MedCath Incorporated, which is filed as an Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
