Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 14, 2020, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2020 (the "Indenture"), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in connection with the sale and issuance of $475 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Notes") to BofA Securities, Inc. and certain other initial purchasers in a private offering (the "Offering") exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering to prepay outstanding borrowings under its existing Term Loan B facility Tranche B-3 and for general corporate purposes, which may include additional debt repayment, and to pay related fees and expenses in connection therewith.

The Notes will mature on April 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 5.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2021. The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors.

The Company may redeem the Notes on or after October 15, 2023 at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Notes prior to October 15, 2023, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem some or all of the Notes prior to October 15, 2023 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus an applicable "make-whole" premium.

The Indenture contains covenants that, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; (iv) purchase or redeem capital stock; (v) make investments or certain other restricted payments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) enter into transactions with stockholders or affiliates; and (viii) effect a consolidation or merger. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include payment defaults, a failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If on any date following the issue date the Notes are rated investment grade (as more fully described in the Indenture), certain covenants, including with respect to restrictions on dividends, restricted payments and incurrence of indebtedness, will be suspended (for so long as the Notes maintain such rating and no event of default has occurred and is continuing).

Certain of the initial purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or the Company's affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Indenture and the Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
