Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 20, 2016, Addus HomeCare Corporation (the “Company”) was served with a lawsuit that was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and Cigna Corporation by Stop Illinois Marketing Fraud, LLC, a qui tam relator formed for the purpose of bringing this action. In the action, the plaintiff alleges, inter alia, violations of the False Claims Act by the Company relating primarily to allegations of improper referrals of patients from our home care division to our home health division, which was sold in 2013. The plaintiff seeks to recover damages, fees and costs under the False Claims Act, including treble damages, civil penalties and its attorneys’ fees. The U.S. government has declined to intervene at this time. Based on its review of the complaint, the Company believes the case will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company intends to defend the litigation vigorously.
