National Home merger on hold till November

August

National Home Health Care Corp., the Scarsdale home health-care company that is being acquired by Angelo Gordon & Co., said today the merger won’t be completed next month, as anticipated.

National Home said it agreed to extend the termination date of its merger with the Manhattan investment bank to Nov. 21 to allow additional time for state Department of Health approval.

The extension may result in an increase of 10 cents a share in its quarterly dividend payment, raising it to 17.5 cents a share, National Home said.

Shares of the provider of home health care and staffing services were higher by 18 cents in mid-afternoon trading to $12.45 a share.
