The process of operational wind down is now substantially complete and the remaining 5 operational homes are expected to transfer in the next four weeks following receipt of regulatory and legal clearances. There are 4 non-operational homes that will also transfer during this period.

The Company also announces, as previously indicated, that Jamie Buchan, Chief Executive, will step down from the business on 15th November.

The Board expresses, on behalf of all stakeholders, its appreciation to Mr Buchan for his leadership of the Company since January 2009

Stephen Taylor, acting Chairman of Southern Cross, said:

"The last few months have been a difficult time for all the stakeholders including residents and employees. Jamie's leadership and clear focus on the need to provide continuity of care to vulnerable residents has made an important contribution to the successful transfer of homes to new operators during this period."
