On August 17, 2011, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) gave notice that it is exercising its option to call for redemption one hundred percent (100%) of AdCare’s outstanding: (i) warrants to purchase shares of AdCare’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), sold in AdCare’s initial public offering in November 2006 (the “IPO Warrants”); and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock sold in a private placement in December 2009 (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the IPO Warrants, the “Warrants”).  Registered holders of the Warrants will have until September 19, 2011 (the “Call Exercise Period”) to exercise each Warrant for 1.05 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.38 per share.

 

Any Warrants not exercised by the registered holders thereof within the Call Exercise Period will automatically expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the last day of the Call Exercise Period, and AdCare will remit to the registered holders of such expired Warrants the sum of ten cents ($.10) per underlying share of Common Stock (the “Call Amount”), upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate representing such expired Warrants. At 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the last day of the Call Exercise Period and thereafter, registered holders of expired Warrants will have no rights or privileges with respect to such Warrants, other than to receive the Call Amount therefor.

 

Copies of the call notice and press release issued by AdCare with respect to the call of the Warrants for redemption are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
