Item 8.01 Other Events.

UHS of Delaware, Inc., the wholly-owned administrative services subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") is a defendant in a lawsuit filed in Washoe County, Nevada, along with Pinnacle Management Group NV, LLC (in which a subsidiary of the Company holds a 50% interest) and several individuals. The Company was previously dismissed from the lawsuit.

The lawsuit contains allegations of intentional interference with contractual relationships and prospective economic advantage resulting from the departure of several physicians from St. Mary's Medical Group in Reno, Nevada, who joined Pinnacle Medical Group in 2021. A trial of this matter was concluded on September 26, 2025, with a verdict rendered against UHS of Delaware, Inc. and the other defendants for approximately $4.7 million in compensatory damages. The jury also awarded punitive damages against UHS of Delaware, Inc. of $500 million and lesser amounts against some of the other defendants. Based upon Nevada statutory law, we expect the punitive damages to be reduced to a maximum of approximately $14 million. We also believe that recent Nevada Supreme Court precedent could further reduce the amount of punitive damages.

UHS of Delaware, Inc. and the other defendants are evaluating all legal options and intend to challenge this verdict in post-judgment trial court proceedings and on appeal. We are uncertain as to the ultimate financial exposure related to this matter and we can make no assurance regarding its outcome, or the amount of damages that may be recoverable after post-judgment proceedings and appeals. If we are unsuccessful in reversing the verdict, or significantly reducing the level of damages, or we are required to post a substantial bond pending appeal, this matter could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
