(SunLink), Crown Healthcare Investments, LLC, Fulton Medical Center, LLC (Buyer), and Nueterra Holdings, LLC, the Seller entered into an agreement for the sale of substantially all of the assets of Callaway Community Hospital (Callaway) located in Fulton, MO for approximately $6,000,000. Assets excluded from the sale under the Agreement include (a) cash and cash equivalents; (b) receivables generated by or pertaining to the business and operations of Seller and the rendering of healthcare services, (iii) amounts and settlements to Seller pursuant to the Federal Reimbursement Allowance Program of the State of Missouri for Sellers fiscal years ending on or prior to June 30, 2013 and a prorated share of amounts and settlements for or in respect of Sellers fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, (iv) credits, offsets, carry forwards or refunds with respect to Federal, State or local income taxes for periods prior to the Closing Date, (v) intercompany receivables due from SunLink or its Affiliates, and (vi) certain non-Hospital undeveloped real estate.
The transaction is scheduled to close on December 31, 2014. The Buyers obligation to close the transaction is conditioned on, among other things, the non-occurrence of any event, change or occurrence that has a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Agreement) on Seller, and Seller not having suffered any material loss or damage to the Purchased Assets in excess of $50,000 which is not covered by insurance.

Proceeds of the sale of approximately $1,000,000, after repayment of hospital mortgage debt of approximately $5,000,000, will be used for general corporate purposes. SunLink expects to recognize an after tax loss of approximately $300,000 on the transaction.
