Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 26, 2012, SunLink Health Systems, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, HealthMont of Missouri, LLC (“Borrower”) and HealthMont LLC (“HLLC”) and Pioneer Bank, SSB (“Pioneer”) entered into and closed on a $5,000,000 Loan Agreement dated as of March 16, 2012 (the “Callaway RDA Loan”). HealthMont of Missouri, LLC owns and operates Callaway Community Hospital (“Callaway”) in Fulton, Missouri.

The Callaway RDA Loan has a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The Callaway RDA Loan bears interest at a floating interest rate computed as the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2%. The Callaway RDA Loan is collateralized by Callaway’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Approximately $3,250,000 of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the Company’s senior debt under the Term Loan under the Company’s Credit Facility. Approximately $1,000,000 of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds will be used for improvements and to provide an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit at Callaway with the remainder of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs. The Callaway RDA Loan contains covenants which the Company believes are customary to similar loan agreements as well as certain financial covenants with respect to the Borrower’s Current Ratio of current assets to current liabilities and Debt Service Coverage, all as defined in the Callaway RDA Loan Agreement, that the Borrower must maintain and that are measured at the end of each fiscal year. The Callaway RDA Loan is guaranteed by HLLC and the Company.

The foregoing summary description of the Callaway RDA Loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof which is filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by this reference.
