Quorum Health Corporation Receives NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice

Quorum Health Corporation (NYSE: QHC) (the “Company”) today announced that it was notified (the “December Notice”) on December 3, 2019 by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards as a result of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock being less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. As set forth in the December Notice, as of December 3, 2019, the 30 trading-day average closing share price of the Company’s common stock was $0.90.

In accordance with the NYSE rules, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the December Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company plans to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of its intent to cure the deficiency. The Company can regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement at any time during the six month cure period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period or on the last day of the cure period, the Company has (i) a closing share price of at least $1.00 and (ii) an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on such date.

As previously announced on May 3, 2019, the Company received notice on April 30, 2019 that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company’s average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and the most recently reported stockholders’ equity of the Company was also less than $50 million. In connection with the April notice, the Company developed a plan, which it is currently implementing and which was accepted by the NYSE on June 10, 2019, to return to conformity with the relevant standards required in Section 802.01B within the 18-month period allowed by the NYSE.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “QHC”, but will continue to have the designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the common stock as being “below compliance”. The December Notice 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.
