Kennett Square, PA -- 05/11/07 --
\r\n
\r\nGenesis HealthCare Corporation (“GHC” or “Genesis”) (NASDAQ: GHCI) today announced that its Board of Directors will meet on Monday, May 14, 2007, to review the previously disclosed proposals from both the venture between affiliates of Formation Capital, LLC (“Formation”) and JER Partners (“JER”), on the one hand, and Fillmore Capital Partners, LLC (“Fillmore”), on the other hand.
\r\n
\r\nUnder the Formation/JER proposal, which had expired but was renewed last night, Formation/JER’s existing merger agreement with Genesis would be amended to increase the purchase price to $67.50 per share in cash, up from the previous price of $65.25 per share.  In addition, if the Formation/JER transaction does not close before July 31, 2007, the purchase price would increase by approximately 9% per annum, or $0.01664 per day, from July 31, 2007 through August 31, 2007, and by approximately 10% per annum, or $0.01849 per day, from September 1, 2007 until the transaction closes.
\r\n
\r\nUnder the Fillmore proposal, Fillmore would acquire Genesis at a price of $69.00 per share in cash, up from its previous offer of $67.25 per share.  Fillmore’s proposal does not include an increase in price over time. Fillmore’s proposal states that it will remain in effect until 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 15, 2007.  Genesis has requested that Fillmore extend that deadline to account for a four calendar day notice period and other procedural requirements of the Company’s existing merger agreement with Formation/JER. 
\r\n
\r\nThe adjourned annual meeting of shareholders, at which the vote on the Formation/JER transaction will take place, is scheduled to occur on May 18, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. The meeting will be held at Genesis headquarters in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania . Only shareholders of record as of March 5, 2007 are entitled to vote at the annual meeting.  At this time, the Board’s recommendation in favor of the proposed Formation/JER transaction as amended through May 1 is unchanged.
\r\n
\r\nShareholders who have questions or require assistance in voting their shares should contact MacKenzie Partners at 800-322-2885.
