On Tuesday September 10th, 2024 the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, in a Special County Board
Meeting, approved the sale of the Sauk County Health Care Center. The sale was approved by a voteof
18 for the sale, and 13 against the sale. The wording of the motion the Board adopted approving the
sale is:

“I move to approve the Operations Transfer Agreement between Sauk County and Aria
of Sauk County LLC, presented in the draft dated September 10, 2024, and to approve
the Purchase and Sale Agreement between Sauk County and Aria Sauk County Realty
LLC, as presented in the draft dated September 10, 2024, each relating to the Sauk
County Health Care Center. The Board’s approval of these agreements supersedes any
prior acts of the Sauk County Board of Supervisors that may be inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of the Operation Transfer Agreement and Purchase and Sale
Agreement. To the extent that the Operations Transfer Agreement and Purchase and
Sale Agreement, as presented, are not consistent with Resolution 98-2023, this motion
to approve the Operations Transfer Agreement and Purchase and Sale Agreement
supersedes Resolution 98-2023 and any prior action by the Board relating to the sale of
the Sauk County Health Care Center. In addition to approving the agreements, my
motion also authorizes the Board Chair, Clerk, Administrator and outside counsel to
prepare, finalize and sign any and all such further documents or agreements necessary
to complete the sale of the facility.”

Accordingly, Sauk County will be entering into the Purchase and Sales Agreement and Operations
Transfer Agreement with the Aria business entities. The Agreements are available for review at:

There are many additional legal and regulatory steps associated with the transfer of the facility to Aria
and the County looks forward to working with Aria to ensure a smooth transition. Above all else, the
County looks forward to working with Aria to ensure excellent care for Sauk County residents through
the transition and beyond.

Additional information surrounding the transaction, the timeline and Aria will be made available soon.
