Global Healthcare REIT Provides Update
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLORADO — December 15, 2015 — Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. (OTCQB: GBCS), a company that owns healthcare properties and leases them to senior care facility operators, is providing a general update.
Management team
On November 20th the Board appointed Lance Baller, Interim CEO & president and Andrew Sink, Interim COO. Both Messrs. Baller and Sink already serve as members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Baller’s expertise in mergers, acquisitions, refinancing, and capital management will benefit the Company in maximizing its cash flow opportunities. Mr. Sink’s experience in real estate operations will serve to optimize each property’s performance within the Company’s robust real estate portfolio.
South Carolina Acquisition
We previously announced the execution of a Purchase Agreement to acquire a skilled nursing facility located in Ridgeway, South Carolina. That transaction was scheduled to close on October 31, which we extended to November 30, with the right to extend to December 31 with an additional $10,000 earnest money payment. In order to secure the appropriate financing, finalize the lease agreement and ensure a smooth license transfer ,we requested a further extension through January 31, 2016, requiring an additional $10,000 earnest money payment. We are in discussion with several potential sources of financing that would be required to consummate the Ridgeway purchase.
Additional Working Capital
We have reached an agreement with Mr. Neuman, one of our directors, to prepay the Gemini Gaming, LLC promissory note that was given as part of the split-off of the Company’s former gaming properties. This loan repayment is expected to close by the end of December, accounting for 100% of the carried value of the note on the Company’s balance sheet, or approximately $575,000 in working capital for the Company.
We continue to seek sources for additional working capital to fund capital improvement commitments at some of our properties as well as additional acquisitions.
Dividends
In an effort to accretively pursue our growth initiatives, the Company has decided to forgo its cash dividend payment for Q3. These funds can be better allocated to generate multiple returns by completing capital improvements at our vacant Independent Living Facility (ILF) and Assisted Living Facility (ALF) in Tulsa,
1
Oklahoma. The completion of these properties can generate an additional $80,000 in cash flow per month when the assets are handed over to our tenants and the leases become effective. We expect to resume and strengthen our dividend payment after completing the capital improvements. These efforts along with completing the acquisition in South Carolina and refinancing two of our current properties should further enhance our cash flow and strengthen our dividend capability going forward.
Management Commentary
“Our Board has become extremely proactive in addressing all aspects of the Company’s operations and relationships with lenders, tenants and investors. We are optimistic that we are on a path to see significant improvements in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations,” stated Lance Baller. “We will continue to strengthen our operational management team, reduce operational costs, finish our commitments on completing the renovation of the Tulsa ILF and ALF and create a robust business plan for the Company. The Company has plans to revitalize its Lonoke, Arkansas property by negotiating with a new tenant to take over the facility in order to maximize the site’s capacity and improve occupancy. While initially the new lease will yield reduced rent, rents are expected to improve as occupancy of the facility returns to historic levels.”
