Accendra

Health’s Ed Pesicka Announces Intent to Retire; Board of Directors Has Begun Successor Search

RICHMOND,

VA – August 10, 2026 – Accendra Health, Inc. (NYSE: ACH) (the Company) today announced that President and Chief Executive

Officer Edward A. Pesicka has informed the Board of Directors of his plan to retire by the end of 2026, after more than seven years with

the Company. Mr. Pesicka will also retire from the Company’s Board of Directors before the end of the year. The Board of Directors

maintains a long-standing, robust succession planning process established to address officer succession. Through that process, the Board

has previously identified potential candidates with the capabilities to succeed Mr. Pesicka. With Mr. Pesicka’s decision and announcement,

the Board will leverage that preparation to comprehensively evaluate and select the Company’s next President and CEO. Mr. Pesicka

may serve in an advisory capacity beyond his planned retirement date to help ensure a smooth and successful transition.

“Ed

Pesicka has faithfully served our customers, teammates, and shareholders for nearly eight years,” commented Mark Beck, Chair of

the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Beck continued, “Upon arrival, Ed quickly stabilized the company and then had to quickly

pivot to lead the Company through a rapid expansion of personal protective equipment production during the pandemic in support of patients

and caregivers, and he then guided our transformation into Accendra Health, a pure play home-based care company. Throughout his tenure,

Ed strengthened our culture and built a great team, leaving a lasting legacy. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express

our most sincere gratitude to Ed for his commitment, significant contributions, and steady leadership. We wish him health and happiness

in retirement.”

Mr.

Pesicka commented, “The decision to retire is never easy, and there is never an ideal time. Having completed the divestiture of

Owens & Minor, the balance sheet optimization transaction, and, most recently, changes to our management structure across the business,

this is the best time to begin my next chapter. Through the continued leadership of our Board of Directors and the executive team, I

am confident that this transition will be smooth, and I have no doubt that Accendra Health’s future is extremely bright. I want

to thank the Board for their guidance, partnership, and trust over the last several years, and, most importantly, I want to thank every

Accendra Health teammate for their dedication and hard work. I have been extremely proud to be part of the team.”
