On October 3, 2016, affiliates of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”, and together with the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, “we” or “our”), completed the previously announced acquisition of nine acute care hospitals in Massachusetts operated by Steward Health Care System LLC (“Steward”) for a combined purchase price and investment of approximately $1.25 billion.

At closing, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership acquired from Steward and its affiliates all of their interests in the real estate of five acute care hospitals for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $600 million. Each of the facilities acquired were simultaneously leased back to Steward under a master lease agreement. In addition, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership made mortgage loans to Steward in an aggregate further amount of $600 million, secured by first mortgages in four Steward acute care hospitals. The real estate master lease and mortgage loans have substantially similar 15-year terms with three 5-year extension options, plus annual inflation protected escalators.

In conjunction with the real estate and mortgage loans transactions, the Company also invested $50 million in newly issued preferred interests in Steward, representing a 4.9% economic interest in Steward. The Company has no management authority or control of Steward except for certain protective rights consistent with a minority passive ownership interest, such as a limited right to approve certain extraordinary transactions.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 3, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing closing of the transactions with Steward described above in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise. The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act or into any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as otherwise expressly stated in any such filing.
