Enhabit Shareholders Approve Merger, Setting NYSE Delisting for May 15, 2026

Context Enhabit, Inc. (ticker: EHAB) provides home health and hospice services and has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since its IPO. The company sought shareholder consent to merge with Anchor Parent, LLC, a move that would take it private and end public trading.

Key Facts At the special meeting on May 12, 2026, 36,311,910 shares voted for the merger, 18,275 against, and 10,917 abstained, representing 99.9% approval of votes cast and about 71% of the total 51,225,606 outstanding shares. The advisory compensation proposal received 33,086,210 votes for, 3,030,210 against, and 224,682 abstentions, translating to 91.0% support, 8.3% opposition, and 0.6% abstention. Enhabit intends to finalize the merger on May 15, 2026; after closing, its common stock will be delisted from the NYSE and will cease to trade publicly.

What It Means The near‑unanimous merger approval indicates strong shareholder confidence in the deal’s terms, while the compensation vote shows some concern over executive payouts tied to the transaction. Post‑delisting, Enhabit’s shares will no longer be subject to NYSE listing requirements or public market liquidity, shifting trading to private channels if any. Investors should watch for the official closing date, any post‑merger financial disclosures, and how the transition affects the company’s operational strategy in the home‑health sector.

What to watch next: the completion of the merger on May 15, 2026, and subsequent updates on Enhabit’s private‑ownership structure and performance metrics.
