Attachment A to Form 12b-25
Mariner Post-Acute Network, Inc. (the "Company") has recently engaged in
several corporate transactions. Due to these transactions, the Company is
currently in the process of restructuring or merging its several employee
benefit plans, and these efforts have required a significant expenditure of the
Company's resources and the time of the Company's employees. These transactions
and the subsequent restructuring of the employee benefit plans have left the
Company, the Plan Administrator, and the auditors of the Plan temporarily unable
to prepare Form 11-K without unreasonable expense or effort. The Annual Report
on Form 11-K will be filed no later than June 15, 1999, the fifteenth calendar
day following the prescribed due date.
