MetroSouth Medical Center (MSMC) Management claims Quorum Health Corporation (NYSE:QHC) created last-minute roadblocks to reaching a sale agreement. A willing buyer says the owner of MetroSouth Medical Center refuses to negotiate a sale of the soon-to-shutter Blue Island hospital. Seth Guterman, president of MSMC Management, said in a letter to the Chicago Sun-Times he had worked for months to secure a deal to buy MetroSouth from Quorum Health until negotiations stalled in recent weeks. Guterman said negotiations failed because Quorum suddenly insisted on more money, including a $1 million nonrefundable deposit. We agreed upon the ultimate purchase price with Quorum Health and secured the financing to acquire the hospital, Guterman said. However, the representations and warranties were not appropriate for this transaction and led Quorum Health to stop negotiations. Quorum Health said it couldn’t discuss negotiations because of confidentiality agreements.
