PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TODAY!
November 21, 2013
Dear AdCare Shareholder,
We are writing to remind you of the importance of voting your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. to be held on December 12, 2013, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). We previously sent you proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, which described, among other items, the reincorporation of AdCare from the State of Ohio to the State of Georgia. According to our latest records, we have not yet received your vote. The Annual Meeting is now only a short time away, and it is therefore important that you promptly complete, sign, date and return your proxy card (or vote your shares by telephone or the Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card) in order to make sure that your shares are voted at the meeting in accordance with your desires.
Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares of common stock you may own. If you have not already done so, please vote TODAY by telephone or the Internet, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided to ensure that your votes are validly received prior to the Annual Meeting.
If you have recently mailed your proxy card (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, | ||
/s/ David A. Tenwick David A. Tenwick Chairman of the Board |
