Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Louisiana Medical Center and Heart Hospital

On September 30, 2011 MedCath Corporation (“MedCath”) entered into a definitive debt and equity purchase agreement (the “purchase agreement”) to sell its interest in Louisiana Medical Center & Heart Hospital (LMCHH) to Cardiovascular Care Group (CCG). The purchase agreement and the transaction were simultaneously signed and closed, effective September 30, 2011. MedCath entered into the purchase agreement after receiving approval during a special meeting of stockholders on September 22, 2011 to sell substantially all of the remaining assets of MedCath.

Immediately prior to closing MedCath converted a portion of its intercompany loans, approximately $58.4 million of its $81.4 million of such loans to the hospital, to additional equity in the hospital, increasing MedCath’s ownership to 95.4 percent, from 89.2 percent. MedCath then sold its equity and its remaining intercompany loans to CCG for approximately $23.0 million subject to certain working capital and other adjustments. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, MedCath has agreed to indemnify CCG with respect to certain pre-closing liabilities and obligations arising of LMCHH. MedCath financed CCG’s purchase with a seller note that matures 60 days after closing, subject to extension at CCG’s election for up to 60 additional days to provide CCG an opportunity to obtain permanent financing of its purchase. MedCath also agreed to loan CCG up to an additional approximately $1.55 million in the event LMCHH is required finally settle its cost reports prior to November 30, 2011. If so advanced, that amount would be added to the principal amount of the seller note. The promissory note is secured by the equity in the hospital and the intercompany loans that were sold to CCG, but is otherwise non-recourse to CCG and its affiliates.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual September 30, 2011 Debt and Equity Purchase Agreement dated September 30, 2011 by and Among CCG of Louisiana, LLC, Louisiana Hospital Management, LLC and MedCath Finance Company, LLC, which is filed as an Exhibit 2.1 hereto, the Promissory Note dated September 30, 2011 between CCG of Louisiana and MedCath Finance Company, LLC, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto, and the Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2011 by and among CCG of Louisiana, LLC, and MedCath Finance Company, LLC, which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 hereto.
