FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 9, 2014-- Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHC) (the “Company”) today announced that it has commenced a consent solicitation relating to its 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Company is soliciting the consents of the requisite holders of the Notes as of the record date set forth in the solicitation documents (the “Solicitation Documents”) to certain amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) of provisions of the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”).

The implementation of the Proposed Amendments is subject to the valid delivery of consents by holders (as of the record date) of Notes constituting a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Requisite Consents”), the acceptance of the consents by the Company, as well as the other conditions set forth in the Solicitation Documents, including the execution of a supplemental indenture effecting the Proposed Amendments. If these conditions are satisfied or waived, and the Proposed Amendments are implemented, the Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon the Company’s making consent payments to holders (as of the record date) of Notes who validly deliver and do not revoke their consents on or before the expiration date, as set forth in the Solicitation Documents.

The solicitation of consents is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 17, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated.
