Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 28, 2006, MPT of Centinela, L.P. (“MPT LP”), a subsidiary of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. , entered into a Loan Agreement with CFHS Holdings, Inc. (“CFHS”) and Inglewood South Development Corp., pursuant to which MPT LP made a $25 million mortgage loan secured by a first mortgage on the real property comprising the Centinela Campus of the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center located in Inglewood, California. On July 28, 2006, MPT LP also entered into a Loan Agreement with CFHS and Marina Realty Development Corp., pursuant to which MPT LP made a $40 million mortgage loan secured by a first mortgage on real property comprising the Marina Campus of the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center located in Marina del Rey, California. The borrowers may increase the loan amount secured by the Inglewood facility to a maximum amount of $80 million within the first five years of the term upon achieving certain financial performance measures and satisfaction of other conditions.
Each of the loans will bear interest at a rate comparable to the rates on our other loans, with annual escalators tied to increases in the consumer price index. The loans are payable interest only for a term of 15 years, with principal due at maturity. The loans have early payment options, requiring the payment of a “prepayment premium” which decreases each year after the sixth year. The loan agreements contain financial and other customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and remedies.
