Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 30, 2011 MedCath Corporation (“MedCath”) entered into a definitive agreement and simultaneously sold its ownership interest in Harlingen Medical Center and HMC Realty, LLC to Prime Healthcare Services (“Prime”). The transaction valued MedCath’s combined ownership interest in Harlingen Medical Center and HMC Realty, LLC at $9.0 million. Anticipated net proceeds to MedCath from the sale, along with the recapture of prior losses attributable to the operation of Harlingen Medical Center, will result in a tax gain on the transaction of approximately $20.4 million. As a result of the tax gain, MedCath anticipates that net after tax proceeds from the transaction will equal approximately $0.3 million.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Equity Purchase Agreement by and between Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. and Harlingen Partnership Holdings, Inc., HMC Management Company, LLC and Harlingen Hospital Management, Inc., which is filed as an Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
