Business Wire
Ortelius Advisors, L.P. (together with its affiliates,
“Ortelius” or “we”), which owns approximately 12.7% of the
outstanding common stock of Capital Senior Living Corporation
(NYSE: CSU) (“Capital Senior Living” or the “Company”), today urged
its fellow stockholders to vote AGAINST all of management’s proposals at the
upcoming meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on October
22, 2021, including the costly, dilutive and poorly-structured
amended financing transactions (the “Transactions”) with Conversant
Capital (together with its affiliates, “Conversant”). Please note
that voting down the Transactions will enable Capital Senior
Living’s Board of Directors (the "Board") to finally pursue
readily-available and far better financing alternatives being
championed by sizable stockholders, such as Ortelius and Invictus
Global Management LLC (together with its affiliates, “Invictus").

Peter DeSorcy, Managing Member of Ortelius, commented:
“Ortelius firmly believes in Capital Senior Living’s long-term
prospects and wants to be one of the Company’s largest stockholders
for years to come. This is why we have invested a significant
amount of time, energy, resources and capital in a constructive
campaign to block Capital Senior Living’s costly, dilutive and
poorly-structured deal with Conversant. Ortelius has spent hundreds
of hours analyzing the Company and can state with great confidence
that we would not be opposing the deal if we felt there was a
chance Capital Senior Living would descend into insolvency upon the
Transactions being voted down at the Special Meeting. We
categorically reject the Board’s brazen claims and unseemly scare
tactics, which are motivated by the incentives afforded to
Conversant, Arbiter Partners, Silk Partners and management, and
notably at the expense of all other stockholders.
The reality is that Ortelius and other stockholders, such as
Invictus, have made firm public commitments to promptly provide
affordable, contingency-free and potentially non-dilutive capital
to address the Company’s liquidity needs. If taken together, the
Ortelius and Invictus proposals would provide an immediate
injection of $55 million, and more capital shortly thereafter
through a fully backstopped rights offering. However, you are not
being asked to vote on the Conversant deal versus the
Ortelius-Invictus solution – you are choosing between accepting
the questionable, punitively-dilutive Transactions versus allowing
Capital Senior Living to negotiate with capital providers putting
forth superior terms. Given the number of investors publicly
conveying their willingness to inject monies into the Company on
reasonable terms, there is no need to essentially hand over control
of the Board and business to Conversant and a select few privileged
investors.
Ortelius sees a bright future ahead for Capital Senior Living –
and one that should be shared by all of the Company’s existing
stockholders on equal footing.”
