<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">MURFREESBORO, TN. (May 31, 2024) &#8211;National&nbsp;Healthcare Corporation (NYSE American: NHC), a national leader in senior care,&nbsp;announced that on May 31, 2024 it entered a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire the White Oak Senior Living (&#8220;White Oak&#8221;) portfolio operating in North Carolina and South Carolina, including its long-term care pharmacy. White Oak&#8217;s portfolio consists of six skilled nursing facilities in North Carolina, three of which are continuing care retirement centers, and including one leased facility. In South Carolina, the portfolio consists of nine skilled nursing facilities, one of which also includes assisted and independent living units.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">&#8220;White Oak has been a premier skilled nursing and senior living provider in North and South Carolina for many years. We are honored to acquire and operate the White Oak brand and continue to provide critical services to&nbsp;their patients and families,&#8221; said&nbsp;Steve Flatt,&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer of NHC.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">The acquisition represents both an expansion of NHC&#8217;s operations into a new state and a strategic advancement of its growth in its existing operational footprint. NHC currently operates multiple skilled nursing facilities in South Carolina as well as a long-term care pharmacy. The White Oak acquisition will add 1,928 skilled nursing beds, 48 assisted living units, and 302 independent living units to NHC&#8217;s current operations.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">&#8220;We are excited to make a strategic move into North Carolina and expand our offerings in South Carolina. We expect this acquisition to be accretive to NHC&#8217;s earnings and create several long-term operational efficiencies and synergies inside our operating networks. The culture at White Oak is outstanding, so we know it will be harmonious with our NHC culture,&#8221; Mr. Flatt continued.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">White Oak has been a family-owned company since 1964 and is headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Doug Cecil, President of White Oak, said &#8220;as a family-owned company, finding the buyer that had the right cultural fit with White Oak was critical. We are pleased that we found that with NHC and are excited for our residents continued care, and that our employees will be able to continue working for an established company that accentuates excellence in patient care, and takes good care of its employees as well.&#8221;</p>
