On January 3, 2012, AdCare Property Holdings, LLC (“AdCare Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Abington Place Purchase Agreement”) with SCLR, LLC (the “Abington Place Seller”) to acquire certain land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, operating agreements and equipment comprising Abington Place Health and Rehab Center, a 120 bed skilled nursing facility located in Little Rock, Arkansas, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,600,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Abington Place Purchase Agreement (the “Abington Place Purchase”).  Upon not less than three business days’ notice to the Abington Place Seller, AdCare Holdings may assign its right and liabilities under the Abington Place Purchase Agreement to one or more entities which are owned or controlled directly by AdCare Holdings.

 

Pursuant to the Abington Place Purchase Agreement, AdCare Holdings deposited $150,000 (the “Abington Place Deposit”) into escrow to be held as earnest money.  Upon consummation of the Abington Place Purchase, the Abington Place Deposit will be retained by the Abington Place Seller and applied against the purchase price therefor.

 

The closing of the Abington Place Purchase is expected to occur on April 1, 2012.  AdCare Holdings may extend the closing until April 30, 2012, subject to AdCare Holdings’ payment of an additional $100,000 in earnest money (which shall be held and disbursed as part of the Abington Place Deposit) and as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Abington Place Agreement.  The closing of the Abington Place Purchase is subject to customary closing conditions, indemnification provisions and termination provisions.

 

The foregoing description of the Abington Place Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference.
