The 21 facilities are leased to eight unaffiliated operators under 14 separate net-leases, which will be assumed. The leases have terms expiring between 2009 and 2027, plus renewal options. All of the facilities are subject to cross-defaults, master leases, parent guarantees, or individual guarantees.
The acquisition is subject to customary real estate, regulatory and other closing conditions and we anticipate closing the acquisition in stages, on a property-by-property basis, beginning at the end of the first quarter of 2008 and continuing through the end of the second quarter of 2008. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has the option of excluding up to five designated properties from the acquisition if it is not satisfied with its due diligence review with respect to these properties. In addition, more than half of the properties are subject to certain preemptive purchase rights and purchase options held by existing tenants. The notice and option period associated with these rights, which varies from 20 to 60 days, may delay the Company’s acquisition of these properties and, if exercised, would prevent the Company from acquiring the relevant properties.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has made good faith deposits in an aggregate amount of $4 million. If the acquisition is not consummated due to the Company’s material default or breach, the Seller will be entitled to terminate the Agreement and retain the good faith deposit. If the acquisition is not consummated due to the Seller’s material default or breach, the Company will be entitled to either (i) sue for the specific performance by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or (ii) the return of the good faith deposit and reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket costs up to $1 million.
The Company intends to fund the acquisition of the HCP facilities with proceeds from the sales of a combination of common stock and debt securities, the net proceeds from the Company’s previously announced purchase and sale transactions with Vibra Healthcare, LLC, and borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facilities. The Company has also secured commitments from a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured interim loan facility, which is expected to provide up to $300.0 million of any unfunded balance of the purchase price.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Other than the Agreement and the transactions described therein and herein, there is no other material relationship between the Company and any of its affiliates and HCP, Inc. and any of its affiliates.
