On October 26, 2016 HCA announced an agreement with the University Hospitals Authority and Trust (UHAT) for the early termination of HCA’s lease of The Children’s Hospital at Oklahoma University Medical Center as well as an associated joint operating agreement. In addition, HCA will transfer ownership of its hospital operations in Oklahoma, which include Oklahoma University Medical Center and OUMC Edmond, to an affiliate of UHAT. Under the agreement, HCA will receive $750 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, in consideration. The transaction is subject to certain conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017.
