Material Changes and Transaction Status
The filing represents a new material agreement rather than a change in historical financial performance. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and the Company's satisfaction with ongoing due diligence. The Company retains the right to terminate the agreement without penalty on or before July 1, 2017, if due diligence is unsatisfactory. While the Company believes closing is probable, there is no assurance the acquisition will be completed.

Management intends to lease the facility to the seller, SDB Partners, LLC, which will sublease to operators Texoma Hospital Partners, LLC and Carrus Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC. Guarantors for the lease include Carrus Healthcare, LLC, THP, and Carrus Rehab. The filing includes standard forward-looking statements regarding the expected closing date and lease execution, noting that actual results may differ due to risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's control. No obligation exists to update these statements unless legally required.
