(“ARC HT II” or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed its $2.1 billion non-listed, initial “best efforts” public offering as of November 17, 2014, and already invested approximately $1.84 billion in properties, including those under contract, through December 31, 2014.

The Company expects to deploy substantially all of the net proceeds available for investment by the end of the first quarter of 2015.

Thomas P. D’Arcy, Chief Executive Officer of ARC HT II, commented, “We are pleased to report the closing of the Company’s non-listed, initial public offering, as well as our significant progress in assembling a balanced and highly diversified portfolio of senior housing and healthcare properties. We have a substantial pipeline of new investments and expect to fully deploy our remaining capital for ARC HT II in the first quarter, with remaining excess assets to be evaluated for successor healthcare funds. We would like to thank our broker dealer partners and the thousands of financial advisers for the confidence they have shown in us through their support of the capital raise. We believe the depth and experience of the entire ARC HT II team, coupled with our deep relationships within the healthcare industry, have played a key part in the Company's ability to deploy capital in a disciplined and highly effective manner.”
