What Happened
Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (CCRN) filed an 8-K reporting that the previously announced merger closed, effective July 21, 2026. As a result of the closing, the acquiring Merger Sub’s directors and officers became the sole directors and officers of Cross Country. The company also discharged and terminated all obligations, credit commitments and liens under its ABL Credit Agreement (dated October 25, 2019) with Wells Fargo Bank as administrative and collateral agent.

Key Details

• Merger closing and related corporate changes announced by press release dated July 21, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).
• Directors who voluntarily resigned immediately prior to the Effective Time: Kevin C. Clark, W. Larry Cash, Venkat Bhamidipati, Dwayne Allen, Gale Fitzgerald and Janice Nevin.
• All obligations and credit commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement (Oct. 25, 2019) were discharged and the related security interests and liens terminated concurrently with the Merger closing.
• A Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. is dated July 21, 2026 and filed as an exhibit.

Why It Matters
For investors, this 8-K documents a change in control: a new board and management team are now in place and the company’s charter has been amended. The termination of the ABL facility means the company has discharged that specific secured credit arrangement, which can materially affect the company’s capital structure and creditor relationships. The filing also incorporates a press release and references prior merger agreement filings for full details, so shareholders should review those documents and future filings for information on listing status, governance, and operational plans under the new ownership.
