DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) of Quorum Health Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), previously filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and are being filed to deregister any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued as of the date hereof:

On April 7, 2020, the Registrant and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Quorum Health Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-10766 (KBO). On June 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, dated April 6, 2020 (as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”), under which, on July 7, 2020, the effective date of the Plan, all outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock, shares of the Registrant’s restricted stock, and the Registrant’s restricted stock units were cancelled pursuant to the Plan.

The Registrant hereby removes from registration all of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date hereof. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of each Registration Statement.

As no securities are being registered herein, and the sole purpose of this filing is to terminate and deregister, the disclosure requirements for exhibits under Regulation S-K Item 601 are inapplicable to this filing.
