successfully completed its financial restructuring and has emerged from Chapter 11 protection.
“Today marks a new beginning for Rotech”
As a result of this five month restructuring process, Rotech substantially deleveraged its balance
sheet, positioning Rotech to be a financially stronger enterprise. Rotech successfully reduced its

Executive Officer. “With the financial restructuring behind us, we have the increased financial
flexibility, which we believe will allow us to compete aggressively in today’s home medical equipment
market. Our brief restructuring would not have been possible without the support of our lenders,
creditors, suppliers, customers and especially our employees.”
