Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 10, 2012, Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Sabra”), Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership of which Sabra is the sole general partner (the “Operating Partnership”), and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Borrowers”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement to the existing Credit Agreement dated November 3, 2010 (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and the lenders referred to therein.
Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the lenders under that agreement had provided for up to a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility secured by, among other things, a first priority lien against certain of the properties owned by certain of Sabra's subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Agreement increases the borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million (up to $20.0 million of which may be utilized for letters of credit) and includes an accordion feature that allows the Borrowers to increase borrowing availability up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. Borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the lesser of (i) the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (ii) the appraised value, in each case of the properties securing the Amended Credit Agreement. As of the date of the Amended Credit Agreement, the entire $200.0 million was available for borrowing. Borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Agreement terminates, and all borrowings mature, on February 10, 2015, subject to a one-year extension option.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Borrowers' option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, and will range from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate and 3.00% to 4.00% per annum for LIBOR-based borrowings. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement also requires that Sabra, through the Borrowers, comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement.
The foregoing summary of the Amended Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Existing Credit Agreement (incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.4 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Sabra on November 5, 2010) as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference).
