PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Quorum Health Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). The Company has determined that it is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below.

The Company, together with its financial and legal advisors, has been engaged in discussions with certain debt holders regarding a recapitalization or financial reorganization transaction, which may include the voluntary filing of chapter 11 cases under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, to address the Company’s current liquidity needs while providing for continuity of patient care and the ordinary course operations of hospitals. The Company expects to receive a going concern qualification in connection with the external audit report of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 to be included in the Form 10-K.

The process of negotiating with the Company’s debt holders has involved significant resources and has been a priority for management. Negotiating this potential transaction has diverted significant management time and internal resources from the Company’s normal processes for reviewing and completing its financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the complexities involved with drafting a complete and accurate set of financial statements and related disclosures in light of the anticipated restructuring transaction has significantly increased the time required to prepare and finalize the Form 10-K beyond the time required during a normal review cycle.

For these reasons, the Form 10-K cannot be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense.

The Company is working diligently to complete its financial statements and related disclosures and anticipates that the Form 10-K will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following its prescribed due date, as permitted by Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
