Update on Federal Court Case

From: Jay Cox, President & CEO

Subject: Tuomey Court Hearing

Date: August 27, 2010

This morning in Columbia, Judge Matthew Perry granted Tuomey's request to immediately appeal all of the rulings he issued after the jury trial last March. The appeal is to the United States Court of Appeals located in Richmond, Virginia. The Hospital's legal counsel believe today marked a very important first step in reversing the prior rulings against Tuomey and reinstating the Jury's verdict in favor of Tuomey. This appeals process could take at least 12 months.

Our employees' continued support provides great strength to those who are directly involved in the case on Tuomey's behalf. Tuomey is committed to bringing this matter to a resolution, which will allow the Hospital to remain a strong asset for the Sumter community. We will keep you informed as there are new developments.
