Enhabit Stockholders Approve Merger and Compensation Plan, Setting NYSE Delisting for May 15

Enhabit stockholders approved the merger with Anchor Parent and an advisory compensation vote, clearing the path for the company to be taken private and delisted from the NYSE on May 15, 2026.

Enhabit, Inc. (ticker: EHAB) provides home health and hospice services across the United States. In February 2026 it entered into a merger agreement with Anchor Parent, LLC, which would make Enhabit a wholly owned subsidiary of the private equity‑backed parent after the deal closes.

At the special meeting on May 12, 2026, 36,311,910 shares were voted in favor of the merger, 18,275 against and 10,917 abstained, representing roughly 71% of the 51,225,606 shares outstanding. For the non‑binding compensation proposal, 33,086,210 shares voted in favor, 3,030,210 against and 224,682 abstained, amounting to about 91% of the votes cast.

The company’s stock, listed on the NYSE as EHAB, closed at $15.38 on May 11, 2026, giving Enhabit a market capitalization of approximately $789 million. After the vote, the share price edged up 1.2% in after‑hours trading, reflecting modest investor reaction to the approved deal.

Once the merger closes on May 15, 2026, Enhabit will cease public trading and become a private entity owned by Anchor Parent. Shareholders will no longer be able to buy or sell EHAB shares on the exchange, and the company will no longer file quarterly reports with the SEC.

The advisory compensation vote, while not binding, signals shareholder approval of any potential executive payouts tied to the transaction, which Anchor Parent may still consider when finalizing post‑merger pay packages.

Investors should watch for the final merger filing, any regulatory approvals, and how Anchor Parent integrates Enhabit’s operations over the next 12‑18 months.
