Re: Notice ef Change of Ownership

Dear Mr. Lambert:

We respectfully submit the two attached Notices of Change of Ownership

pursuant to Chapter 410-I-7-.04, Rules and Regulations of the Alabama Certificate of

Need Program (the "Rules"). The Changes of Ownership involves transfer of a recently

closed 85-bed nursing home known as Salem Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of

Reform. Inc. (the '"Facility"). The following is a summary ofthe proposed transaction:

I. Facts.

1. The Facility was owned by The Medical Clinic Board of the City of Reform.

Alabama and, until March 2014 was lea.sed to Salem Nursing and

Rehabilitation Center of Reform, Inc., which held the license ("Salem") and

was managed by Allacare Corporation ("Manager").

2. In September of 2011. litigation commenced in the Federal District Court for

the Northern District of Alabama (case 2:1 l-cv-01509, Bank of New York

Mellon Trust Company v, Salem Nursing & Rehab Center ofReform, Inc.. The

Medical Clinic Board ofthe City ofReform, et al.).

3. The Facility has maintained its license and never ceased operations. All

authorized skilled nursing facility beds ai the Facility have remained in

service.

4. On March IS, 2014, the Court entered an Order appointing Derek Pierce of

Healthcare Management Partners, LLC ("Receiver" or "HMP") as Receiver,

and charging the Receiver with certain rights and responsibilities, as outlined

in the Court's Order of that dale. Among those were direction of all decisions

relating to operations of the Facility until a sale of receivership assets may be

arranged.

5. Although all actions laken by Pierce as Receiver have been pursuant to court

order, it is our understanding that your agency has determined that the 20)3

amendments to Al.A. Code §22-21-263 might require a notification lo your

44S Dexier Avenue Sum; 8040 Mon-kkimuky. Alabama 3fiKM-.ni1; 334.262.2001 Fax S34-26Z2M3

agency of a "change in control'" pursuant to Ala. Admin. Code §410-1-7-

.04(1), and therefore the court-order transfer of responsibilities from the prior

owner to Pierce as Receiver is reported herein as the first step of what will

ultimately be a two stage Change ofOwnership involved in this transaction.

6. As a part of the discharge of duties assigned by the Court to Pierce as

Receiver, the Court further entered an order allowing the Receiver to sell

substantially all assets of the receivership estate, and establishing and

approving bidding procedures for such a sale.

7. At this point, the public auction has yet to be held. Following a successful

completion of that process, and the subsequent transactional closing, Un

successful bidder will submit additional filings with your agency.

S. To be properly on record, this initial change of ownership ("CHOW") will

show a transfer from the prior owner to the Receiver, supported by the

attachment of the Order of the Court.

II. Financial Scope of Project.

At this time, there has been no financial scope of the project determined, as all

actions have been taken pursuant to the attached Order of the Court. No actions

taken thus far involve the purchase of any new equipment, new operating costs, or

other capital expenditures in excess of the spending thresholds set forth in Section

22-21-263(a)(2) of the Code of Alabama.

III. Sen-ices to be Offered.

1. No New Services: The transaction does not involve the offering of any new

services at the Facility.

IV. Beds.

1. New Beds: The proposed transaction does not involve any addition or

reduction of beds.

2. Conversion of Beds: The proposed transaction docs not involve the

conversion of beds.

V. Stock and Assets.

At this point, the transaction consists of only one step: the change of ownershiprelated to granting the Receiver all rights to operate the Facility to permit the

Receiver to complete an upcoming, court approved sale. Other than the

foregoing, the transaction will not involve the acquisition of stock or assets.

Based on the above showing that there has been no (i) change in health service,

(ii) conversion of beds or (iii) increase in bed capacity we respectfully ask that you
