"The healthcare delivery system in America is changing rapidly and it is vital that we take the steps
needed to ensure that high quality, compassionate care will be available to
non-urban
communities across the country", said Rash. "The merger of these two companies creates an organization that is
well positioned to be impactful to our patients and our communities for years to come".
Carpenter commented, "I'm thrilled that our
organizations have come together as one and am incredibly confident in the future of the newly-expanded LifePoint Health under David Dill's leadership. Ultimately, it is the care and services that our hospitals and health systems are providing
that are most important, and I know the combined team will continue our legacy of supporting our employees and caregivers so that we are Making Communities Healthier for decades to come".
As a result of the merger, LifePoint shareholders are receiving $65.00 per share in cash for each share of LifePoint's common stock they owned, without
interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. This represents a premium of approximately 36% to LifePoint's closing share price on July 20, 2018, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the merger.
