Quorum Health Corporation Announces Pricing of $400 Million Senior Notes Offering

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (April 8, 2016) – Quorum Health Corporation (the “Company”) today announced that it has priced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 11.625% senior notes due 2023 at an issue price of 98.266% (the “Notes”). The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with new borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities, to pay a special dividend to Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”), to pay the fees and expenses related to the planned spin-off of the Company from CHS and for cash on hand to remain with the Company for working capital purposes. The offering is expected to close on

April 22, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

Proceeds from the offering will be deposited into an escrow account to be released upon the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to the spin-off (the “Escrow Release”). If the spin-off is not consummated, the Company will be required to redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the issue price of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The Notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Company and, following the Escrow Release, will be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
