title: Answers, at last. After three years of waiting, the IRS' merger financing guidelines provide a solution for the not-for-profit healthcare industry.
abstract: The long wait is finally over for the not-for-profit hospital industry. After three years of intense scrutiny, the Internal Revenue Service has proposed rules for consolidating tax-exempt debt. For not-for-profits, this move means that merger refinancing can continue for many deals left on hold. IRS lawyer Bruce Serchuk (left) helped draft the new rules, which also provide a clear path to closure for mergers completed with acquisition financing.
