SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

March 2, 2018

 

The following (this “Plan Term Sheet”) describes the material terms of a proposed restructuring of HCR ManorCare, Inc.

In addition, the Debtor, the Carlyle Holders and QCP are party to a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Carlyle Holders and QCP have agreed to support the Prepackaged Plan described by the Plan Term Sheet.

 

This Plan Term Sheet outlines many of the principal terms of the Prepackaged Plan, but other material terms will be set forth in definitive documentation, including the PSA and RSA. Nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer susceptible to acceptance by the Debtor or any other party, or a legally binding obligation of any party, other than as set forth in the PSA and RSA. This Plan Term Sheet is a settlement proposal in furtherance of settlement discussions and is entitled to protection from any use or disclosure to any party or person pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 or any other applicable rule of evidence. THIS PLAN TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION OF VOTES FOR A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 1125 AND 1126 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES. SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION WILL BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PSA AND THE RSA AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
