HCP Achieves Additional Milestones on Previously Announced Brookdale Transactions

IRVINE, Calif., June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HCP, Inc. (NYSE: HCP) today provided an update on several transactions which improve the quality of its senior housing portfolio while further reducing Brookdale Senior Living Inc. ("Brookdale") operator concentration. 

RIDEA II JOINT VENTURE SALE

HCP has closed on the previously announced disposition of its remaining investment in the RIDEA II senior housing joint venture ("RIDEA II") to an investor group led by Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC generating $332 million of proceeds.  The RIDEA II joint venture owned 49 communities, of which 46 were managed by Brookdale.

MASTER TRANSACTIONS AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT ("MTCA") WITH BROOKDALE

In November 2017, in connection with the MTCA, HCP announced the agreement to sell or transition 68 Brookdale communities.

22-Community Portfolio Sale:  HCP entered into definitive agreements to sell a portfolio of 22 Brookdale-managed senior housing communities comprising 2,781 units to an institutional investor for $428 million.  This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory license transfer approvals.

Operator Transition Update:  In March, HCP announced an agreement to transition management of a portfolio of 24 HCP-owned senior housing communities from Brookdale to Atria Senior Living, Inc.  As of June 4^th, we have successfully transitioned 18 of the 24 communities.  Additionally, we have transitioned one community to another existing operating partner, Sonata Senior Living.

Remaining MTCA Transactions:  For the remaining 21 Brookdale-managed communities, HCP is finalizing agreements with other operators to transition additional communities and is marketing select assets for sale.  The transitions or sales are expected to be completed during 2018.

BROOKDALE 25 TRANSACTIONS

Closed Transactions:  A total of five communities comprising 353 units sold for a combined $32 million. Four of the dispositions closed in late 2017 and one closed during the second quarter of 2018.

Under Contract:  HCP is under contract to sell an additional 15 communities comprising 1,433 units for a total of $98 million in three separate transactions.  These transactions are expected to close in the third quarter and are subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory license transfer approvals.

Sales or Transitions:  The remaining five assets are expected to be sold or transitioned during 2018.

"We are pleased to demonstrate continued progress executing on our strategic portfolio repositioning," said Tom Herzog, President and Chief Executive Officer of HCP.  "The vast majority of dispositions transactions are now closed or under contract, resulting in a senior housing portfolio with improved operator diversification and stronger demographics.  Additionally, the proceeds generated from these sales will further strengthen our balance sheet." 

Pricing on the combined $863 million of disposition transactions under contract or closed during 2018 represents a 7.1% blended cap rate on trailing-twelve month property EBITDAR.
