Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On December 10, 2015, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in Roswell, Georgia (the “Meeting”). The matters listed below were submitted to a vote of the shareholders at the Meeting. Each proposal is identified and described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement”). No quorum was present at the Meeting with respect to Proposal 3 (as described in the Proxy Statement), and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined not to adjourn or postpone the Meeting to solicit additional proxies. As a result, neither Proposal 3 nor Proposal 5 (as described in the Proxy Statement) was presented for shareholder vote. The number of votes cast for and against each proposal voted on by the Company’s shareholders and the number of withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes are set forth below.
Proposal 1. Election of Directors
Shareholders elected the following five individuals to the Board to serve in the Class and for the term as specified below. The voting results were as follows:
FOR | WITHOLD | BROKER NON-VOTES | |
William McBride, III (Class I) Term Expiring 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | 10,813,780 | 1,747,649 | 5,373,247 |
Thomas W. Knaup (Class II ) Term Expiring 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | 10,850,087 | 1,711,342 | 5,373,247 |

Proposal 2. Approval of Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to Declassify the Board
At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved articles of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) and an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws Amendment”) to provide for the declassification of the Board. The voting results are set forth below. The Articles of Amendment were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia on December 11, 2015, and the Articles of Amendment and Bylaws Amendment became effective at
2
such time. As a result of such amendments, the Company’s classified Board has been eliminated, and directors will be elected for one-year terms beginning with the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2016 Meeting”). As previously reported, all of the Company’s directors (including those elected at the Meeting) have agreed to voluntarily relinquish the portion of their terms as directors which extend beyond the 2016 Meeting. As a result, all of the Company’s directors (including those elected at the Meeting) will stand for re-election at the 2016 Meeting for a one-year term. The Articles of Amendment and the Bylaws Amendment are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On or about November 20, 2015, a complaint was filed in federal court by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) against Christopher Brogdon, a former director of the Company and a holder of greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock. The Company is not a defendant in this action. The complaint, among other things, petitions for receivership of a number of properties listed in the complaint, three of which are owned (but not operated) by the Company. On December 10, 2015, the SEC submitted to the court a revised list of properties over which the SEC is seeking receivership. The revised list does not include any of the Company’s properties, and the SEC is not seeking receivership of such properties.
