On April 20, 2006, Accipiter Life Sciences Fund, LP ("Accipiter"), together
with the other participants, made a definitive filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of a proxy statement (the "Statement") and an accompanying
proxy card to be used to solicit votes for the election of its nominees at the
2006 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of LifePoint
Hospitals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). On April 25, 2006, the
Delaware Chancery Court decided not to grant Accipiter's motion for preliminary
judgment in connection with the Annual Meeting. Accipiter and the other
participants have decided not to use the Statement for the purpose of soliciting
proxies for the election of Accipiter's nominees at the Annual Meeting.
Accipiter will not vote any shares represented by GOLD proxy cards at the Annual
Meeting.
