Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 18, 2016, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. that it is not in compliance with certain NYSE MKT (the “NYSE MKT”) continued listing standards relating to stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if an issuer has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years), Section 1003(a)(ii) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million or more if an issuer has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years) and Section 1003(a)(iii) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million or more if an issuer has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because the Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $23.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and net losses for the last five (5) fiscal years. As a result, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and is required to submit a plan by May 18, 2016 advising the NYSE MKT of the actions the Company has taken or will take to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards by October 18, 2017.

The Company intends to submit a plan by the May 18, 2016 deadline. The Company’s common stock and 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE MKT while the Company seeks to regain compliance with the listing standards noted, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to submit a plan or if the Company’s plan is not accepted, then the NYSE MKT may commence delisting procedures. Furthermore, the NYSE MKT may commence delisting procedures, if it deems appropriate, if the Company does not regain compliance by October 18, 2017 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with its plan during the plan period.
