EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statements of Community Health Systems, Inc. (the Registrant) (collectively, the Registration Statements):
| Registration Statement No. 333-44870, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 31, 2000; |
| Registration Statement No. 333-121283, filed with the SEC on December 15, 2004; and |
| Registration Statement No. 333-163690, filed with the SEC on December 11, 2009. |
The Registration Statements collectively registered 2,250,000 shares of the Registrants common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock) and an indeterminate number of interests, which were to be offered and sold pursuant to the CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan).
Effective January 1, 2015, the Common Stock was eliminated from the investment alternatives under the Plan. As a result, the Registrant intends to deregister its plan interests under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes and withdraws from registration the Common Stock and the related indeterminate interests registered pursuant to the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
