Cross Country Healthcare to Acquire Assets of Mint Medical Physician Staffing, LP and Lotus Medical Staffing LLC

Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CCRN), a market-leading tech-enabled workforce solutions platform and advisory firm, today announced entry into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Mint Medical Physician Staffing, LP (“Mint”) and Lotus Medical Staffing LLC (“Lotus”, and, together with Mint, “Sellers”). Mint is a locum tenens staffing agency dedicated to placing the most qualified physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in temporary positions. Lotus is a locum tenens and permanent placement agency specializing in the placement of anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Both Sellers staff throughout the United States.

The Company will purchase and acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities of Mint and Lotus. The acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and is not significant. The transaction is expected to close in the last quarter of 2022.

"As the first acquisition in 2022, we are thrilled to be adding the Mint and Lotus brands to our portfolio, which supports our strategy of becoming a dominant player in the locum tenens and advanced practitioner markets," said John Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. He continued, "Building scale in this large and growing part of the market allows us to deepen client relationships, and gives access to additional clinicians, which we expect will drive stockholder value."
