Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 30, 2025, CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), and certain subsidiaries of CHS (the “CHS Selling Entities”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain purchase agreement dated as of April 15, 2025, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), with subsidiaries of Ascension Health (the “Purchaser”), and Cedar Park Health System, L.P. (the “Joint Venture”), the entry into which Purchase Agreement was previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company on April 15, 2025. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at such closing, the Purchaser acquired the CHS Selling Entities’ collective 80% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, which owns and operates Cedar Park Regional Medical Center in Cedar Park, Texas, and related businesses (the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction”). The purchase price paid to the CHS Selling Entities in connection with the Transaction at closing on June 30, 2025, after giving effect to estimated working capital and purchase price adjustments, was $436 million in cash (subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment). In addition, contemporaneous with the closing of the Transaction, in connection with the balance of certain amounts due to the Joint Venture from CHS and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the CHS Selling Entities distributed approximately $23 million in cash (subject to a post-closing adjustment) to the Purchaser for their share of amounts owed to the Joint Venture by the CHS Selling Entities. Prior to the Transaction, the Purchaser held a minority interest in the Joint Venture and purchased the remaining interest through the Transaction.

The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may have been qualified in the Purchase Agreement by confidential disclosure schedules (which disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representation, warranties and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement), may be subject to limitations and contractual risk allocation mechanisms agreed upon by the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from what an investor may view as material, and thus should not be relied upon as necessarily reflecting the actual state of facts or conditions.
