The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Previous report

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R. 1) (“OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025, makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare, and Health Insurance Marketplace federal healthcare programs. Changes include new requirements that states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria that beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The Company anticipates that the OBBBA will reduce the federal and state income tax payables in the current year but will not have a material impact on tax expenses/(benefits). In addition, the effect of these changes could result in reductions in our patient population and managed care enrollees that we serve across our federal healthcare program lines of business due to, among other things, more stringent eligibility requirements such as the imposition of work or community service requirements, and copayments on many services, limitation of Medicaid eligibility to certain lawfully present individuals, and the effect of immigration enforcement actions which may discourage beneficiaries from applying or reapplying for federal healthcare benefits. Loss of Medicaid benefits may also result in higher volume of uncompensated emergency admissions of uninsured individuals at Foothill Regional Medical Center (“FRMC”) which we acquired in the Prospect Acquisition. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In addition, Medicaid provider tax reform has been targeted by the current administration to reduce federal Medicaid spending, including restrictions on states from using provider taxes to help finance coverage of undocumented immigrants and cuts to provider taxes, as well as and capping state-directed payments. Such restrictions and cuts could potentially adversely impact FRMC revenues received from affected programs, as hospital and physician payment rates could be reduced, forcing hospital services to be reduced or closed.

We could incur additional costs and expenses resulting from the July 7, 2025, bankruptcy of certain Prospect asset seller entities and the effect of the Prospect letter agreement dated July 1, 2025.

Previous report

On July 7, 2025, those entities related to Prospect that sold assets to us in the Prospect Acquisition (the “Prospect PhysicianCo Entities”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which could result in their breach or noncompliance with certain contractual obligations under the asset sale transaction, including the payment of claims owed to creditors of the Prospect PhysicianCo Entities or the maintenance of minimum levels of risk-based capital at closing. Although the asset sale transaction may shield us from liabilities of the Prospect PhysicianCo Entities to third parties, it may nevertheless be necessary for us to absorb the costs of such breach or noncompliance to protect our ongoing business interests or relationships. In such event, we would have limited to no recourse against the Prospect PhysicianCo Entities due to their bankruptcy filing, the elimination of the escrow account to cover, among other things, non-assumed liabilities of the Prospect PhysicianCo Entities, and the elimination of recourse (with certain exceptions) against the Prospect PhysicianCo Entities, as set forth in our letter agreement with Prospect dated July 1, 2025.
