- $100 Million Purchase Price for 37 Long-Term Care Facilities - $495 Million Cash Expected When all Transactions Involving Net Lease Assets Are Completed CHEVY CHASE, Md., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CapitalSource Inc. (NYSE:CSE) announced it closed yesterday on the sale of 37 skilled nursing homes for an all-cash sales price of $100 million. The Company will use the proceeds to repay $55 million of debt associated with the assets sold, with the remainder adding to parent company liquidity. "This transaction is the final step in the monetization of our net lease portfolio. Together with an estimated $331 million in cash and stock from our recently announced sale of 143 facilities to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) and our anticipated net HUD mortgage financing proceeds of $119 million, we expect to generate a total of approximately $495 million when all of the associated closings are completed. That cash will be used to substantially reduce the balance on our syndicated bank facility and will add meaningfully to parent company liquidity," commented John K. Delaney, CapitalSource Chairman and CEO. "With completion of the recently announced asset sales, we will exit the skilled nursing home ownership business, but actively continue to provide financing for owners and operators in the long-term-care industry, an area of historic expertise at CapitalSource," commented James J. Pieczynski, President of the CapitalSource Healthcare Real Estate Business. "Available liquidity and our low cost of funds at CapitalSource Bank position us to be a source of competitive financing for small and mid-size business owners, so we expect our market-leading health care franchise will be an area of significant growth in the months ahead," concluded Pieczynski.
