Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 21, 2011, American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through its sponsor, American Realty Capital V, LLC, closed its acquisition of a free-standing fee simple ambulatory surgery center in Texarkana, Texas (the “Property”) at a purchase price of $4.5 million at a capitalization rate of 9.57% (calculated by dividing annualized rental income on a straight-line basis less estimated property operating costs by the purchase price).

The tenant of the Property is Texarkana Surgery Center, L.P. (“Texarkana Surgery”), which is an operating joint venture between Symbion, Inc. (“Symbion”) and a 23-member physician group. The physician group and Symbion own 42% and 58% of Texarkana Surgery, respectively. The seller of the Property is Westminster Texarkana, L.P. (the “Seller”). The Seller has no material relationship with the Company and the acquisition of the Property is not an affiliated transaction.

The Company funded the acquisition, excluding acquisition costs, of the Property with (a) net proceeds from its ongoing offering of approximately $2.2 million and (b) a $2.25 million mortgage loan received from Guaranty Bond Bank. The mortgage loan bears an interest rate of 5.50% and matures in June 2016. Payments of principal and interest will be made on a 25-year amortization schedule, with all principal outstanding being repaid on the maturity date. A description of the terms of the mortgage loan is included in Item 2.03—Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The Property contains 18,268 rentable square feet which includes four operating rooms, a pre-op holding area, a recovery room, an x-ray room and a minor procedure room. The Property was completed as a build-to-suit facility for the physicians in 1995 that later formed Texarkana Surgery with Symbion in 2000. The Property is 100% leased to Texarkana Surgery. The lease has a ten-year term and expires on April 30, 2021. The lease contains 2.0% fixed annual rental escalations during the primary term and one renewal option of five years.  The lease is double net whereby the Company is responsible for maintaining the roof and structure of the building and Texarkana Surgery is required to pay substantially all other operating expenses, in addition to base rent. The total annual rent for the initial lease term will be approximately $393,000.

The Federal tax basis and the rate of depreciation will be determined based upon the completion of cost allocation studies in connection with finalizing the Company’s 2011 Federal tax return.

The annual realty taxes payable on the Property for the calendar year 2011will be approximately $70,000. Such real estate taxes are required to be paid directly by the tenant under the terms of the lease.
 
Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 21, 2011, the Company, through its sponsor, American Realty Capital V, LLC, incurred a $2.25 million mortgage loan in connection with the acquisition of the Property. The mortgage loan was made by Guaranty Bond Bank. The mortgage loan bears an interest rate of 5.50% and matures in June 2016. Payments of principal and interest will be made on a 25-year amortization schedule, with all principal outstanding being repaid on the maturity date. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse and may be accelerated only upon the event of a default. The mortgage loan may be prepaid from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.

On June 24, 2011, the Company issued a press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing the closing of the Company’s acquisition of the Property.
