Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 13, 2020, Addus HomeCare Corporation (the “Company”) submitted a plan of compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to support its request for an extension of time to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. The Compliance Plan is in response to a previously disclosed letter received from Nasdaq on March 20, 2020 in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). The Compliance Plan included a statement that the Company currently anticipates that it will file the Form 10-K, together with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”), on or about August 10, 2020.

The Company also received further correspondence, as expected, from Nasdaq on May 14, 2020, notifying the Company that it is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a result of not filing the Form 10-Q and of the ongoing delay in filing the Form 10-K. Neither Nasdaq letter has a present effect on the listing or trading of the Company common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. According to the most recently received Nasdaq letter, the Compliance Plan is currently under review. Pursuant to Nasdaq rules, the Company’s securities will remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market pending Nasdaq’s review of the Compliance Plan. The Compliance Plan contemplates a grace period until September 14, 2020 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. The Company anticipates regaining compliance prior to this date.
