DHC Will Use the Proceeds to Pay Down Debt

Diversified Healthcare Trust (Nasdaq: DHC) today announced it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) (“Brookdale”) whereby Brookdale will acquire 18 triple net leased senior living communities that Brookdale currently leases from DHC for $135 million. Brookdale has leased and operated these 18 communities since February 2003. The 18 communities include 876 units located across 10 states serving primarily assisted living residents as well as memory care residents. DHC intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to pay down its $941 million of senior secured notes due January 2026.

Chris Bilotto, President and Chief Executive Officer of DHC, made the following statement:

“This transaction is a further implementation of our ongoing initiatives to optimize our portfolio and enhance our liquidity. The sale opportunistically monetizes this NNN portfolio at a premium valuation of over $150,000 per unit. The proceeds from the transaction reflect an in-place cap rate on the lease’s annualized income of 7.3% and will allow us to reduce our leverage.”

The properties that Brookdale will acquire as part of the transaction include:
