Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 30, 2011, AdCare Property Holdings, LLC (“AdCare Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Reinstatement and Third Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Epic Group Limited Partnership and each of its affiliated entities signatory thereto (Epic, along with such affiliates, the “Epic Sellers”), which amends the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated June 27, 2011, as subsequently amended, between the Company, AdCare Holdings and the Epic Sellers, pursuant to which AdCare Holdings or its assignee shall acquire certain land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, operating agreements and equipment comprising skilled nursing facilities located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia (the “Epic Purchase”).

 

The Third Amendment: (i) changes the closing date of the Epic Purchase to February 29, 2012; (ii) increases the amount of money to be deposited by AdCare Holdings into escrow to be held as earnest money from $500,000 to $1,000,000; (iii) decreases the amount of stock consideration to be paid by AdCare Holdings from $5,000,000 to $2,456,152; and (iv) eliminates the requirement of AdCare Holdings to deliver a promissory note to the Epic Sellers upon the closing of the Epic Purchase.  In addition, because the Epic Sellers are not able to ascertain whether the Epic Sellers will acquire the membership interests of certain skilled nursing facilities located in Tennessee (the “Tennessee Facilities”) by the closing date of the Epic Purchase, the Third Amendment also: (x) increases the aggregate purchase price from $38,566,364 to $40,206,152 if the Tennessee Facilities are acquired by AdCare Holdings as part of the Epic Purchase; (y) increases the aggregate purchase price from $38,566,364 to $40,206,152 if a portion of the Tennessee Facilities are acquired by AdCare Holdings as part of the Epic Purchase and AdCare Holdings acts as manager of the remaining portion of the Tennessee Facilities not acquired; and (z) decreases the aggregate purchase price from $38,566,364 to $34,956,152 if none of the Tennessee Facilities are acquired by AdCare Holdings as part of the Epic Purchase.

 

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01               Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Company has unconditionally guaranteed all amounts owing under the PrivateBank Loan.

The Eaglewood Sellers Loans are secured by: (i) a mortgage on the real property and improvements constituting Eaglewood Village; and (ii) an assignment of all rents paid under any existing or future leases and rental agreements with respect to Eaglewood Village.

 

In connection with entering into the Eaglewood Credit Facilities, the Company, AdCare Holdings, Woodland Holdings, Eaglewood Holdings and Eaglewood Village LLC, as applicable, also entered into deeds to secure debt, security agreements and assignments of rents and leases, each containing customary terms and conditions.

 

The Eaglewood Acquisition does not constitute an acquisition of a significant subsidiary pursuant to the conditions specified in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X at the significance level contemplated by Rule 11-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.
