IASIS HEALTHCARE FINALIZES REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION

FRANKLIN, Tennessee (September 30, 2013) – IASIS Healthcare^® LLC (“IASIS”), a leading provider of high quality, affordable healthcare services, today announced completion of the previously announced sale-leaseback transaction with Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (“MPT”) involving the land and buildings associated with Glenwood Regional Medical Center in West Monroe, LA; Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa, AZ; and The Medical Center of Southeast Texas in Port Arthur, TX.

IASIS continues to own and operate the business of these three hospitals and now leases the land and the buildings associated with these facilities from MPT at attractive, long-term lease rates with favorable renewal options. The agreement also includes a right-of-first refusal clause that gives IASIS the opportunity to repurchase any and all assets, should MPT decide to sell. Additionally, IASIS and MPT agreed to an amendment at IASIS’ Pioneer Valley Hospital in West Valley City, Utah, that reduces the rent, provides for additional capital for improvement projects funded by MPT and extends the term of that pre-existing lease with MPT.

IASIS plans to use the transaction proceeds of $281.3 million from this sale-leaseback transaction in a variety of strategic initiatives aimed at, among other things, growth in existing markets and expansion into new markets.
