-- Three New Master Leases; Net Proceeds of $23 Million; Anticipated Net Gain of $17 Million Related to Property Sales; Full Rent Replaced --
LTC Properties Inc. (NYSE: LTC) (“LTC” or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust that invests in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced the completion of its previously announced process involving its 35-property Brookdale Senior Living (“Brookdale”) portfolio. Revenue from the portfolio will be fully replaced through a combination of new leases, interest related to seller financing, and pre-invested proceeds at a weighted average yield of 8.5%. The transactions reduce LTC’s revenue concentration from Brookdale by 40%.
The 35-property assisted living portfolio was modified as follows:
- 17 communities across four states including Colorado (six), Texas (six), Kansas (four), and Ohio (one), with a total of 738 units, were re-leased to Brookdale. The new master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $9.3 million.
- Five communities in Oklahoma, with a total of 184 units, were transferred and are now being operated by Oxford Senior Living, an existing LTC operator. The new master lease, which commenced in November 2023, is for three years, with one four-year extension, at an initial annual rent of $960,000.
- Five communities in North Carolina, with a total of 210 units, were transferred and are now being operated by Navion Senior Solutions, an operator new to LTC. The master lease, which commenced in January 2024, is for six years at an initial annual rent of $3.3 million.
- Eight communities across three states including Florida (four), South Carolina (three), and Oklahoma (one), with a total of 341 units, were sold for $28.0 million. LTC received proceeds of $23.2 million, net of transaction costs and seller financing, and anticipates recording a gain of $17.0 million related to the sales. The Company provided seller financing collateralized by two of the Florida properties, with a total of 92 units. The $4.0 million seller-financed mortgage loan term is two years, with a one-year extension, at an interest rate of 8.75%.
“LTC committed to successfully position the previous Brookdale portfolio by re-leasing some properties and selling others. We are pleased to have reached a favorable outcome,” said Wendy Simpson, LTC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, rent from the previous portfolio has been fully replaced, and we’ve generated sales proceeds to pay down a portion of our debt, which was incurred to pre-fund accretive investments earlier this year.”
