Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth under Item 2.01 below related to the Joint Venture Governing Documents (as defined below) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Portfolio Acquisition
On July 1, 2015, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (“NorthStar Healthcare”), together with Formation Capital, LLC (“Formation”) and Safanad Management Limited (“Safanad” and, collectively, the “Investors”) completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of the U.S.-based operations of Extendicare International Inc. (“Extendicare”), including a portfolio of 158 senior housing and care facilities (the “Portfolio”) for a total cost of approximately $1.1 billion, including closing costs and other expenses, pre-funded capital expenditures and certain adjustments for working capital and other items related to the closing of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, as discussed below, NorthStar Healthcare, through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, also originated a $75 million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”). To fund its share of the Acquisition and the Mezzanine Loan, NorthStar Healthcare invested approximately $130.0 million with proceeds from its public offerings of common stock.
The facilities comprising the Portfolio consist of 152 skilled nursing facilities and six assisted living facilities with over 15,000 beds located across 12 states, with the largest concentrations in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. As of March 31, 2015, the Portfolio’s overall resident occupancy was approximately 83%. Prior to or in connection with the Acquisition, the facilities were leased to five third party operators pursuant to long-term net leases.
The Acquisition was completed through the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Extendicare Holdings Inc. (“EHI”), the subsidiary through which Extendicare conducted its U.S.-based operations, by FC Domino Acquisition, LLC (the “Purchaser”), which is a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) indirectly owned 36.67% by NorthStar Healthcare, 46.66% by affiliates of Safanad and 16.67% by affiliates of Formation.
The Investors hold their interests in the Joint Venture through (i) a limited liability company in which a subsidiary of NorthStar Healthcare and an affiliate of Formation are the sole members (the “NSHI-FC JV”) and (ii) a limited partnership in which the NSHI-FC JV and an affiliate of Safanad are the limited partners (the “Safanad JV”). The Purchaser is, in turn, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Safanad JV. The day-to-day affairs of the Joint Venture will be managed by an affiliate of Formation. However, in accordance with an investment committee agreement among subsidiaries or affiliates of NorthStar Healthcare, Formation and Safanad (the “Investment Committee Agreement”), certain significant decisions will be made by an investment committee, on which each of NorthStar Healthcare, Formation and Safanad will be represented. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement of the NSHI-FC JV and the limited partnership agreement of the Safanad JV (such agreements, together with the Investment Committee Agreement, the “Joint Venture Governing Documents”), distributions of capital and other proceeds will generally be pro rata subject to certain incentive distributions payable to affiliates of Formation and Safanad after certain performance thresholds have been satisfied. The Joint Venture Governing Documents also contain customary forced sale and other liquidity provisions.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Purchaser directly or indirectly assumed: (i) $527.2 million in the aggregate of senior secured loans by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), with an average fixed interest rate of 3.79% (plus 0.50% mortgage insurance premium) and a weighted average remaining term of 29 years, (ii) a $98.4 million senior secured loan by The PrivateBank and Trust Company, with a floating interest rate of 4.75% over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and a remaining term of 47 months and (iii) a $60.0 million first lien senior secured loan with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), with a floating interest rate of 3.75% over the three-month LIBOR and a term of five years. In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, the Purchaser, EHI and/or certain of its subsidiaries entered into an $87.3 million second lien senior secured loan with GE, with a floating interest rate of 3.75% over the three-month LIBOR and a term of five years, and a $38.5 million senior secured loan with Pacific Western Bank (“PacWest”), with a floating interest rate of 4.50% over the one-month LIBOR and a term of three years (with a two-year extension). In addition, the Purchaser obtained the Mezzanine Loan from NorthStar Healthcare, as more fully described below.
Mezzanine Loan Investment
In connection with the Acquisition, NorthStar Healthcare, through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, originated the Mezzanine Loan to the Purchaser, secured by a pledge of the outstanding shares of EHI. The Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% per year and was originated at a 1.0% discount. In addition, NorthStar Healthcare earned a commitment fee equal to 0.75% of the outstanding principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan.
The term of the Mezzanine Loan is 67 months. The Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid during the first 36 months, subject to the payment of a yield maintenance premium that can in no event be less than 1% of the outstanding principal balance. If the Mezzanine Loan is prepaid during months 37-48, the borrower must pay a prepayment penalty equal to 3% of the amount prepaid. Thereafter, the Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty. The underlying loan agreement requires the borrower to comply with various financial and other covenants. In addition, the loan agreement contains customary events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace and cure periods). The events of default are standard for agreements of this type and include, for example, payment and covenant breaches, insolvency of the borrower, the occurrence of an event of default relating to the collateral or a change in control of the borrower.
The loan-to-cost ratio (“LTC Ratio”) of the Mezzanine Loan is approximately 83%. The LTC Ratio is the aggregate amount loaned to the borrower net of reserves funded and controlled by NorthStar Healthcare and its affiliates, if any, over the total cost of the Acquisition.
The foregoing description of Joint Venture Governing Documents does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Joint Venture Governing Documents that are filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
