ADDUS HOMECARE EXPANDS TENNESSEE HOME CARE PRESENCE

WITH AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE TENNESSEE QUALITY CARE OPERATIONS

Company Adds Significant Clinical Market Presence in Tennessee

with Annualized Revenues of Approximately $40 Million

Frisco, Texas (June 29, 2023) – Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a provider of home care services, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire the entities comprising Tennessee Quality Care, a provider of home health, hospice, and private duty nursing services. Tennessee Quality Care serves an average daily census of approximately 1,800 patients through 17 locations covering a service area of over 50 counties in Tennessee. Addus expects to close the transaction in the third quarter of 2023, following completion of customary closing conditions. Addus will fund the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Commenting on the announcement, Dirk Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Addus stated, “We are pleased to expand our market presence in Tennessee with the addition of the Tennessee Quality Care operations. This acquisition fits squarely into our growth strategy to leverage our strong personal care presence and add clinical services in key markets. The acquired operations are approximately 70 percent home health, including private duty nursing, and 30 percent hospice care, expanding our market coverage to all three levels of care in the state. Tennessee is a Certificate of Need state for both home health and hospice care, making entry into the market more difficult, particularly at scale. We are excited to add approximately $40 million in annualized revenues in the state with this acquisition and look forward to further growth and opportunities from our ability to provide all three levels of care.

“We believe this acquisition will be an ideal addition for Addus with an established market presence and reputation for quality, compassionate care. We have a shared commitment to provide safe and cost-effective home care services, and we look forward to the opportunity to offer patient-centric personal care, home health and hospice services to more patients and families in Tennessee,” added Allison.

Michael Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of American Health Partners, the owner of Tennessee Quality Care, added, “As part of the American Health Partners family, Tennessee Quality Care has played an important role in our continuum of care with the primary goal being to provide the highest quality care and services to our patients. We are pleased with the opportunity to have Tennessee Quality Care join Addus and continue to expand its important work providing quality home health services and premium end-of-life care in the home setting. This combination will benefit everyone associated with Tennessee Quality Care, especially the patients, families, and employees. Addus has an excellent reputation in our market area, and we look forward to Tennessee Quality Care joining the Addus family while also continuing the relationship with American Health Partners.

Allison added, “Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy, and we will continue to identify and pursue strategic acquisitions that fit our mission. Addus has a solid record of driving value from our acquired operations with a proven operating model. We are fortunate to have a strong capital structure that supports our acquisition strategy, and we look forward to the additional opportunities ahead for Addus.”
