Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 18, 2015, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (“NorthStar Healthcare”), acting through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), with subsidiaries of Fountains Senior Living Holdings, LLC, part of Arcapita (collectively, “Sellers”), for the purchase from the Sellers of a portfolio of continuing care retirement communities (“CCRCs”), nine of which are operated as rental CCRCs (the “Rental Properties”) and six of which are operated as entrance fee CCRCs (the “Entrance Fee Properties,” and together with the Rental Properties, the “Portfolio”), for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $640 million. The Portfolio contains approximately 3,637 units (including 23 contracted life estate units), 65% of which are Rental Properties and 35% of which are Entrance Fee Properties, and is located in 11 states. On April 9, 2015, NorthStar Healthcare’s deposit of approximately $20 million toward the purchase of the Portfolio became non-refundable, subject to customary closing conditions as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement.

At the closing of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Entrance Fee Properties will be purchased by NorthStar Healthcare, through one or more of its subsidiaries, and leased to affiliates of The Freshwater Group, Inc. (“Freshwater”) pursuant to a master net lease. At the Closing, the Rental Properties will be purchased by a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed on April 9, 2015 between NorthStar Healthcare, through one or more of its subsidiaries, and affiliates of Freshwater, and will be held under a RIDEA structure. NorthStar Healthcare and Freshwater own 97% and 3%, respectively, of the ownership interests in the Joint Venture.

Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of the Joint Venture (the “JV Agreement”), NorthStar Healthcare is the manager and controls the Joint Venture’s business and affairs, subject to Freshwater’s consent with respect to certain major decisions. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, subject to satisfaction of certain return thresholds being satisfied, all distributions of net operating cash flow will be made to NorthStar Healthcare and to Freshwater on a pro rata basis in accordance with each party’s percentage interest in the Joint Venture. Distributions of capital and other proceeds are based on certain performance thresholds in accordance with the JV Agreement. The JV Agreement also contains customary forced sale, buy-sell and other liquidity provisions.
 
Watermark Retirement Communities, Inc., a national operator of senior living facilities and an affiliate of Freshwater, will continue as the day-to-day operator of the Portfolio.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Closing is scheduled to occur on June 1, 2015. The Closing is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the parties in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the compliance by the parties with their respective covenants in the Purchase Agreement, in each case subject to customary materiality qualifiers. There is no assurance that the acquisition of the Portfolio will close on the anticipated terms, or at all.

NorthStar Healthcare expects to finance the acquisition of the Portfolio with seven-year debt, with a fixed interest rate of 3.92%, equal to approximately 64% of the purchase price of the Portfolio. In connection with such financing, on April 10, 2015, NorthStar Healthcare delivered to the lender a rate-lock deposit in the amount of approximately $8 million, which is non-refundable except in limited circumstances.

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the agreements that are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which agreements are incorporated herein by reference.
