Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosures set forth in Item 2.01 hereof are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Properties.

On October 12, 2011, CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired an ownership interest in seven senior living facilities (the “Communities”). The Company entered into agreements with Master MorSun Acquisition LLC (“Seller”), an affiliate of an institutional investor, and Sunrise Senior Living Investments, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”) to acquire the Communities through a new joint venture, CLPSun Partners III, LLC (“CLPSun III”), formed by the Company and Sunrise, with an agreed upon value of approximately $170.0 million. The Company acquired approximately sixty-eight percent (68%) of the membership interests in CLPSun III for an equity contribution of approximately $36.0 million, including certain transactional and closing costs, and a pro rata share of the loan proceeds from the new debt financing. Sunrise acquired approximately thirty-two percent (32%) of the membership interests in CLPSun III by transferring its interest in the previous joint venture with Seller, valued at $16.8 million, and contributing its pro rata share of the loan proceeds from the new debt financing.

CLPSun III obtained $120.0 million in new debt financing from The Prudential Insurance Company of America, which was used in part to pay in full the existing indebtedness encumbering the Communities. The non-recourse loan, which is collateralized by the Communities, has a seven-year term and a fixed-interest rate of 4.8% requiring monthly interest-only payments for the initial eighteen (18) months of the loan and monthly payments thereafter of principal and interest based upon a 30-year amortization schedule.

Under the terms of the venture agreement with Sunrise, the Company receives a preferred return of 10% on its invested capital for the first six years and shares control over major decisions with Sunrise. Sunrise holds the option to buy out the Company’s interest in the venture in years four through six at a price that would provide the Company with a thirteen percent (13%) internal rate of return.

The Communities, which are listed below, feature 601 residential units and have an average occupancy rate of 87.3% as of June 30, 2011. CLPSun III owns a fee simple interest in each of the Communities, except for the Sunrise of Palo Alto Community, in which it holds a leasehold interest. Sunrise will continue to operate and manage the Communities subject to a long-term management contract, for which it will be paid a fee of 7% of total revenues earned by the Communities.
