OMI Remains Committed to Continued Growth in the Strong Home-based Care Market

Will Focus on Deleveraging & Driving Profitable Growth

Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today announced it has mutually agreed with Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc. to terminate the previously announced acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Owens & Minor has paid $80 million to Rotech Healthcare. Owens & Minor will also redeem the $1 billion of notes issued in April 2025, which include a special mandatory redemption provision in accordance with their terms, and terminate the incremental term loan commitments and senior unsecured bridge loan commitments provided by our lenders which would have been utilized to consummate the acquisition.

“For many months, our teammates, along with the Rotech team, have worked tirelessly in cooperation with the Federal Trade Commission to close this transaction, and while we believe there would have been ample benefits to patients, payors, and providers by adding Rotech to our Patient Direct business, the path to obtain regulatory clearance for this merger proved unviable in terms of time, expense, and opportunity,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

“We are confident in our strategy and will continue to focus our efforts on growing our Patient Direct business while remaining committed to strengthening our balance sheet through the use of improved cash flow generation for deleveraging. The home-based care market is a dynamic, growing market, and we are extremely well positioned to help those with chronic conditions get the care and service they need and deserve. Also, we continue to work with a number of interested parties around the potential sale of our Products and Healthcare Services business, and, in the meantime, we will continue to actively work to strengthen that business and tap into its significant upside”.

“I want to thank our teammates, partners and everyone at Rotech for their effort and cooperation over the last several months, and we look forward to a bright future with many years of profitable growth,” Pesicka concluded.
