SunLink Health Systems adjourns special meeting on merger vote

ATLANTA - SunLink Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE American:SSY), a healthcare company with a market capitalization of $8.8 million trading at $1.24 per share, adjourned its special meeting of stockholders on Tuesday after shareholders approved a motion to reconvene on Monday, August 4, 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong momentum with a 65% return over the past year.

The meeting was originally called for shareholders to vote on the proposed merger with Regional Health Properties, Inc. The reconvened meeting will take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at Hyatt House Hotel in Atlanta. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score, with strong liquidity as current assets exceed short-term obligations by a ratio of 3.91.

According to the company, while an "overwhelming majority" of votes cast to date have supported the merger proposal, the measure requires approval from holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote, not just those voting. This higher threshold has not yet been met.

The SunLink Board of Directors unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favor of the merger proposal, which is a condition for the deal to be completed.

Shareholders of record as of June 20, 2025, can vote by internet, telephone, mail, or in person at the reconvened meeting. Proxies previously submitted will remain valid, though shareholders may revoke them as outlined in the joint proxy statement.

The company urged shareholders to vote on two proposals: the merger agreement with Regional Health Properties and an advisory compensation proposal.

SunLink Health Systems, headquartered in Atlanta, is the parent company of subsidiaries that own and operate Carmichael’s Cashway Pharmacy. The company has generated annual revenue of $31.1 million, though InvestingPro analysis reveals 12 additional key insights about the company’s performance and outlook, available to subscribers.
