Quorum Health Corporation Receives NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--()--Quorum Health Corporation (NYSE: QHC) (the “Company”) today announced that it was notified (the “Notice”) on April 30, 2019 by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”) that it was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards as a result of the Company’s average market capitalization being less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and the most recently reported stockholders’ equity of the Company also being less than $50 million. As set forth in the Notice, as of April 25, 2019, the 30-trading day average market capitalization of the Company was approximately $44.0 million and the Company’s last reported stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2018 was approximately ($90.4) million.

In accordance with the NYSE rules, the Company intends to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the Notice that the Company intends to cure the deficiency. Under the NYSE rules, the Company has 45 days from the receipt of the Notice to submit a plan advising the NYSE of definitive action the Company has taken, or is taking, which would bring the Company into conformity with continued listed standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice. Within 45 days of receipt of the plan, the NYSE will make a determination as to whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of an ability to come into conformity with the relevant standards in the 18 month period. If the NYSE accepts the plan, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the 18 month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing standards, and the Company will be subject to quarterly monitoring by the NYSE for compliance with the plan. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “QHC,” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the common stock as being “below compliance.”

The NYSE notification does not affect the Company’s business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, nor does it conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s debt agreements.
