announced today that it has set the date of its special meeting of
stockholders to consider and vote on, among other things, a proposal to
approve its previously announced merger with Omega Healthcare Investors,
Inc. ("Omega") OHI.
The special meeting will be held on Friday, March 27, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.

into a definitive agreement under which Omega will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Aviv in a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of
the agreement, Aviv stockholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.90

Completion of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary
