EPR Properties Announces Closing of Adelaar Infrastructure Bonds

EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) announced today that The Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation has issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds which will fund construction costs for infrastructure and improvements incurred by EPR Properties in connection with its Adelaar Resort, a four-season destination resort planned for the Town of Thompson in Sullivan County, New York. EPR Properties received an initial reimbursement of approximately $43.4 million of construction costs, and expects to receive an additional $44.9 million of reimbursements over the balance of the construction period (estimated to be completed in 2017).
