Pursuant to that certain First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated July 24, 2013, among the Company and the limited partners set forth therein (the “partnership agreement”), limited partners, other than the Company, have redemption rights, to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, for common shares on a one-for-one basis, generally commencing one year from the date of issuance of such OP units. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, certain limited partners, including the four healthcare real estate funds that the Company has classified for accounting purposes as its “predecessor” and refers to as the “Ziegler Funds”, exercised their respective redemption rights and in connection therewith, the Company intends to purchase on or about October 1, 2014 an aggregate of 545,750 OP Units in exchange for an aggregate of approximately $8.0 million in cash (assuming the cash payments were made on September 8, 2014) and the Company intends to issue 2,005,101 of the Company’s common shares to redeem 2,005,101 OP Units. The actual per OP Unit purchase price for the 545,750 OP Units the Company has agreed to purchase for cash will be equal to the average of the last reported sales price on the NYSE of the Company’s common shares for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding October 1, 2014.
