In connection with the consummation of
the Merger (as defined below), on April 2, 2018, Almost Family, Inc. (Almost Family or the Company), terminated its credit facility (the Credit Facility) evidenced by that certain Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of December 5, 2016 among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the outstanding balance of approximately

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On April 1, 2018, Almost Family
completed its previously announced merger of equals business combination with LHC Group, Inc. (the LHC Group) as contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 15, 2017 (the Merger
Agreement), by and among the Company, LHC Group and Hammer Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LHC Group (Merger Sub). On April 1, 2018 and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Almost
Family (the Merger), with Almost Family continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of LHC Group.
As a result of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each outstanding share of common stock of
Almost Family (the Almost Family Common Stock), other than certain cancelled shares, was converted into the right to receive 0.9150 shares of LHC Groups common stock (the LHC Group Common Stock) and cash in lieu of any
fractional shares of any LHC Group Common Stock that Almost Family shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive.
Also, each
outstanding stock option of the Company was converted into an option to purchase 0.9150 shares of LHC Group Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient of the exercise price of the Company option divided by 0.9150, and the
option shall otherwise remain subject to the same vesting terms and other conditions. In addition, each outstanding share of restricted stock of the Company will be converted into a restricted share of LHC Group subject to the same vesting terms and
other conditions (except that the performance condition of performance-based stock awards will be deemed satisfied at the maximum level of performance and the shares will vest solely on the basis of time).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (including, without limitation, the Merger) in this Form
8-K
does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form
