AAC Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Holdings”), was incorporated on February 12, 2014 for the purpose of acquiring all the common stock of American Addiction Centers, Inc. (“AAC”) and to engage in certain reorganization transactions as more fully described in Note 3.  The Company is headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee and provides substance abuse treatment services for individuals with drug and alcohol addiction.  In addition to the Company’s substance abuse treatment services, the Company performs drug testing and diagnostic laboratory services and provides physician services to clients.  At December 31, 2015, the Company, through its subsidiaries, operated nine residential substance abuse treatment facilities, and nine standalone outpatient centers.

Following the Company’s acquisition of Referral Solutions Group, LLC (“RSG”) on July 2, 2015, combined with its previously existing internet assets, the Company operates a broad portfolio of internet assets that service millions of website visits each month. RSG, through its wholly owned subsidiary Recovery Brands, LLC (“Recovery Brands”), a leading publisher of “authority” websites such as Rehabs.com and Recovery.org, serves families and individuals struggling with addiction and seeking treatment options through comprehensive online directories, treatment provider reviews, forums and professional communities. Recovery Brands also provides online marketing solutions to other treatment providers such as enhanced facility profiles, audience targeting, lead generation and tools for digital reputation management.
