Calvert Medical Office Building Portfolio

On June 26, 2013, CHP Partners, LP, the operating partnership (“the “Operating Partnership”) of CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. (“us,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), entered into two related purchase agreements to acquire six medical office buildings and associated assets with parties related to the Calvert Memorial Hospital of Calvert County (“Calvert Memorial Hospital”) in southern Maryland.

The first purchase agreement was entered into with Calvert Medical Office Building Limited Partnership (“Calvert Medical Office Building LP”) to acquire ground lease interests in the land and a fee simple interest in the improvements which constitute a three-story medical office building (“Calvert MOB I”) for a purchase price of approximately $7.31 million, subject to adjustment for rents and other payments.

Also on June 26, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into a second purchase agreement to acquire for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $38.9 million, subject to adjustment for rents and other payments: (i) ground lease interests in the land and a fee simple interest in the improvements which constitute a three-story medical office building (“Calvert MOB II”) from CMH II Holding Co., a Maryland non-stock corporation (“CMH Holding II”); (ii) ground lease interests in the land and a fee simple interest in the improvements which constitute a three-story medical office building (“Calvert MOB III”) from CMH Holding II; (iii) ground lease interests in the land and a fee simple interest in the improvements which constitute a four-story medical office building (the “Calvert Medical Arts Center”) from Calvert Medical Arts Center, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Calvert Medical Arts”); (iv) ground lease interests in the land and a fee simple interest in the improvements which constitute a two-story medical office building (the “Dunkirk Building”) from CMH Holding II; (iv) sublease interests in the land and improvements which constitute a two-story medical office building (the “Solomons Island Building”) from CMH Holding Co., a Maryland non-stock corporation (“CMH Holding”); and (vi) sublease interests in the land underling the parking adjacent to the Solomon Island Building ( the “Solomons Island Parking”) from CMH Holding.

Calvert Memorial Hospital owns a partnership interest in Calvert Medical Office Building LP. Each of CMH Holding, CMH Holding II Calvert Medical Arts (collectively with Calvert Medical Office Building LP, the Sellers”), are affiliates of Calvert Memorial Hospital. However, none of the Sellers nor Calvert Memorial Hospital is an affiliate of the Company.

Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company will also acquire the interests of the Sellers in existing leases or subleases, as applicable, relating to the acquired properties and certain related agreements and fixed assets and other furnishings.

Calvert MOB I, Calvert MOB II, Calvert MOB III, Calvert Medical Arts Center, the Solomons Island Building, Solomons Island Parking and the Dunkirk Building are collectively referred to as the “Calvert Medical Office Properties.”

Calvert Memorial Hospital is the ground lessor of each of Calvert MOB I, Calvert MOB II, Calvert MOB III, and the Calvert Medical Arts Center. Certain individuals are the ground lessors of the Solomons Island Building and the Board of the County Commissioner of Calvert County is the ground lessor of the Solomons Island Parking.

The following table lists each of the properties, its location, square footage, and year built:

Following the closing of the acquisition of the Calvert Medical Office Properties, Calvert MOB I, Calvert MOB II, Calvert MOB III, Calvert Medical Arts Center and the Dunkirk Building will be subject to long-term ground leases with Calvert Memorial Hospital owning the underlying land. Following the closing of the acquisition, the Solomons Island Building and the Solomons Island Parking Lot will be subject to long-term subleases with Calvert Memorial Hospital owning the leasehold interests.

The Company has initially funded escrowed earnest money deposits in the aggregate amount of $249,750. We are currently conducting our due diligence investigation of the contemplated transactions, and upon expiration of a 45-day inspection period on August 9, 2013, unless extended, a second deposit in the total amount of $249,750 will become due and non-refundable, for an aggregate total amount of $499,500. Such purchase deposit will be applied toward the purchase price of the Calvert Medical Office Properties at closing or refunded to us if we terminate the Purchase Agreements before the end of the specified due diligence period.

If acquired, the leases for each of the Calvert Medical Office Properties are expected to be long-term triple-net leased and are expected to have multiple tenants. Fifty-five percent of the Calvert Medical Office Properties are expected to be leased to Calvert Memorial Hospital or its affiliates.

The Calvert Medical Office Properties are expected to be managed by Holladay Properties, a third-party property manager, focused on leasing and property management. Holladay Properties, a non-affiliated company, is the largest private healthcare property management and development group in the U.S. The healthcare division of Holladay Properties was launched in 1986 and has managed more than 500 healthcare properties. As previously announced on June 27, 2013, we anticipate that Holladay Properties will manage certain of our medical office building properties for which we have entered into a purchase agreement with affiliates of Montecito Medical Investment Company.

The Company expects to finance approximately $29.4 million of the aggregate purchase price of the Calvert Medical Office Properties under a long-term loan. While we have been evaluating financing options to date, we have not entered into any binding financing commitments. No assurance can be given that we will obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The acquisition of the Calvert Medical Office Properties is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, that one or more of these properties will be acquired by the Company. Assuming that outstanding contingencies are satisfied, we anticipate that the closing of the Calvert Medical Office Properties will take place in August 2013.
