DALLAS – April 16, 2020 – Capital Senior Living Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: CSU), one of the nation’s largest operators of senior housing communities, announced today that on April 10, 2020, it received notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is no longer in compliance with NYSE continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B (the “Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”) and Section 802.01C (the “Minimum Stock Price Standard”) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual due to the fact that (i) the Company’s average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, its stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million, and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the cure period, subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the plan referenced below and other listing requirements of the NYSE. The Notice also does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and it does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material debt or other agreements.

In accordance with the NYSE’s listing requirements, within 10 business days after the Company’s receipt of the Notice, the Company intends to notify the NYSE that it will submit a plan to the NYSE within 45 days after the Company’s receipt of the Notice advising the NYSE of definitive action the Company has taken, or is taking, to bring it into conformity with the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard within 18 months after the Company’s receipt of the Notice. The Company also intends to respond to the NYSE within 10 business days after the Company’s receipt of the Notice stating its intent to cure the Minimum Stock Price Standard within the time period prescribed by the NYSE’s rules, which is generally six months after the Company’s receipt of the Notice (or potentially longer if the Company pursues measures to cure the Minimum Stock Price Standard that require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting).

The Company’s 125 communities are home to more than 11,000 residents across 23 states and provide compassionate, resident-centric service and care as well as engaging programming.
