On January 1, 2010, Addus HomeCare Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) with Wayne Lowell, a newly-appointed member to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). See Item 5.02 below.

Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, the Company has agreed to hold Mr. Lowell harmless and indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Mr. Lowell. The Company is not obligated to make any payment to Mr. Lowell that is finally determined to be unlawful. In respect of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Mr. Lowell, the Company will pay the entire amount of any judgment or settlement without requiring Mr. Lowell to contribute. The Company will advance, to the extent permitted by law, all expenses incurred by or on behalf of Mr. Lowell in connection with a proceeding. No amendment, alteration or repeal of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Indemnification Agreement will limit any right of Mr. Lowell in respect of any action taken or omitted by Mr. Lowell prior to such amendment.

On January 1, 2010, Wayne Lowell was appointed to the Company’s Board to serve a term expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

Mr. Lowell will serve as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. The Board has determined that Mr. Lowell is an “independent director” as defined by the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and qualifies as the “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with Mr. Lowell’s appointment to the Audit Committee, Mark L. First resigned from the Audit Committee effective as of January 1, 2010, but remains a member of the Board. Simon A. Bachleda and Steven I. Geringer will remain on the Audit Committee with Mr. Lowell, but Mr. Lowell will serve as Chairman in lieu of Mr. Bachleda. Mr. Lowell’s appointment fills a vacancy on the Board created as a result of an increase in the number of directors in August 2009. The appointment of Mr. Lowell was effective as of January 1, 2010.

In connection with his service as an independent director, Mr. Lowell will be entitled to receive the Company’s standard independent director cash and equity compensation. Mr. Lowell will receive an annual retainer of $22,500 for service on the Board, and will receive $1,500 per Board meeting attended in person and $750 per Board meeting attended telephonically. As the Chairman of the Audit Committee, he will receive an additional annual retainer of $12,000, and as an independent director who serves on a committee, he will receive $1,000 per committee meeting attended. In addition, upon his appointment as an independent director, Mr. Lowell received 1,073 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of $10,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on the date of the grant (the “Restricted Stock”). The Restricted Stock will vest equally over a three-year period subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan.

On January 5, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Wayne Lowell to the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
