Isaac and Ross B. Levin of Arbiter Partners Capital Management, LLC ("Arbiter") to its Board of Directors, effective March 7, 2017. The appointments of Messrs. Isaac and Levin fill the vacant Board seat following the passing of Board member Keith Johannessen in December 2016, and expand the Board to 10 directors, nine of whom are independent. Arbiter and related parties currently own approximately 4.49 million shares of Capital Senior Living, representing approximately 14.95% of the total shares outstanding, making the Arbiter group the Company's largest shareholder.

Paul Isaac is the founder and CEO of Arbiter and has a broad range of investment experience. He currently serves as a director of Irex Corporation (North Lime Holdings). Ross Levin is the Director of Research for Arbiter, currently serves as a director of Mood Media Corporation, and is a former director of American Community Properties Trust and Presidential Life Corporation.

Lawrence A. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of Capital Senior Living, stated, "We welcome Paul and Ross to the Board. Both are accomplished investors who complement the extensive expertise and talent of our existing board members, and who bring with them the important perspective of a large shareholder. We look forward to leveraging Paul and Ross' insights as we continue to execute on our long-term, real estate strategy and enhance value for all shareholders."

"Ross and I are honored to join the Board at this opportune time in the Company's history," said Mr. Isaac.

We believe the Company is uniquely positioned for continued success in a fragmented market. We look forward to working closely with our colleagues on the Board to achieve our mutual goal of generating additional value for Capital Senior Living shareholders."

The Board appointments are pursuant to a Support Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into between Capital Senior Living Corporation and Arbiter. The Agreement will remain in effect for a one year term, and includes customary standstill and voting commitments.
