Community Health Systems reports strong early tender results for notes

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CYH), a prominent player in the Healthcare Providers & Services industry with annual revenue of $12.65 billion, announced Monday that $1.74 billion of its 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 were validly tendered by the early deadline in its cash tender offer. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently maintains a FAIR financial health score, though analysts have recently revised earnings expectations downward.

According to the company’s press release, the early tender results represent approximately 98.8% of the $1.76 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes. All validly tendered notes were accepted for purchase by CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., the company’s wholly owned subsidiary conducting the offer. This debt management initiative comes as InvestingPro data shows the company carrying a total debt of $11.5 billion, with a debt-to-capital ratio of 93%.

The withdrawal deadline for the tender offer expired on Friday, August 8, meaning previously tendered notes may no longer be withdrawn, subject to applicable law.

Holders who tendered their notes by the early tender deadline will receive the "Early Tender Consideration," which includes a premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount. This consideration will be determined based on a fixed spread plus the yield of a specified U.S. Treasury security, calculated as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on August 11.

The settlement date for notes tendered by the early deadline is expected to be August 12. After the early tender period, the offer remains open until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 25, with later participants receiving the tender consideration minus the early tender premium.

In addition to the tender consideration, noteholders will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

Following the completion of the early tender period, approximately $21.64 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 notes will remain outstanding.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is serving as dealer manager for the tender offer, which remains subject to certain conditions as outlined in the company’s offer documents.
