BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

LifePoint Health, Inc. LPNT announced today its intention to sell through a private offering $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes"), subject to market and other customary conditions. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, to finance the redemption of the entire $400 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "6.625% Senior Notes"). Substantially concurrently with the pricing of this offering, the Company will issue a conditional notice of redemption to redeem all of the outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes on June 13, 2016. The redemption is conditioned on the completion by the Company of an offering of senior notes and the receipt of aggregate gross proceeds therefrom of at least $400 million.

The Notes and related subsidiary guarantees will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of Notes and related subsidiary guarantees in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
