OTHER EVENTS. On April 26, 2001, Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (the "Company") announced that a committee of holders of its convertible subordinated debentures had been formed and that the Company and its financial advisor, Jefferies & Company, Inc., had commenced negotiations with both the committee and the lessors of certain under-performing leases. The Company also announced that such negotiations are still in a preliminary stage, and that the Company cannot predict whether they will lead to a mutually satisfactory restructuring of the Company's obligations. However, any such restructuring plan is likely to result in a significant reduction in principal amount of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures and a very substantial dilution of the Company's outstanding equity. The Company also announced that it plans to defer, for 30 days, $4.7 million of interest payments due May 1, 2001 on the convertible subordinated debentures. A total of approximately $162 million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated debentures are outstanding, with maturities of November 1, 2002 and May 1, 2003. A copy of the Company's press release dated April 26, 2001 has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. 3 ITEM 7.
