Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 3, 2013, American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its initial public offering will close to new investments next week when the Company will have successfully completed its target equity raise of $1.75 billion (including shares to be reallocated from the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan).
Subscriptions that are received will continue to be processed, subject to the availability of shares. However, the Company’s dealer manager, Realty Capital Securities, LLC, has notified the Company’s selling group that it expects that subscription agreements received on or after April 12, 2013 will likely be returned. Additionally, subscription agreements received prior to April 12, 2013, but not in good order, or those that require additional information or funding, will be subject to review and will be processed only if shares are available. Any subscriptions that the Company is unable to accept will be promptly returned. In light of the foregoing, the Company asks that financial advisors not submit any additional subscriptions for our shares.
Therefore, the Company will reallocate the remaining 23.5 million shares available under its distribution reinvestment plan to the Company’s primary offering, once it sells the 36.6 million shares of common stock available in the primary offering, as of March 31, 2013. Furthermore, as the Company has previously communicated and, in line with its best practices, the Company will close its offering as originally sized and will not raise additional capital through a follow-on offering.
