PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES OF ADCARE COMMON STOCK TODAY!
August 24, 2017
Dear AdCare Shareholder,
We are writing to remind you of the importance of voting your shares of common stock at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”, the “Company” or “we”) to be held on September 20, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta located at 1775 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth, Georgia, including any postponement and adjournment thereof (the “Special Meeting”). We previously sent you proxy materials for the Special Meeting, which describe in detail the proposals listed below. According to our latest records, we have not yet received your vote.
At the Special Meeting, holders of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, will be asked: (1) to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 7, 2017, as it may be amended from time to time, between AdCare and Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare newly formed for purposes of the merger (the “merger proposal”); and (2) to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the merger proposal.
The Special Meeting is now only a few weeks away, and it is therefore important that you promptly complete, sign, date and return your proxy card or voting instruction form that accompanied this letter. You can also vote your shares by telephone or the Internet in accordance with the instructions provided in order to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting in accordance with your desires. Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. If you have not already done so, please take the time to vote TODAY. If you have recently mailed your proxy card or voting instruction form (or voted by telephone or the Internet), then please accept my sincere appreciation and disregard this request.
We appreciate your time and consideration and your continued support.
Sincerely, | ||
Allan J. Rimland | ||
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer | ||
