IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HCP (NYSE:HCP) today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to sell a portfolio of 64 properties leased to Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. ("Brookdale") for an aggregate sales price of $1.125 billion to affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII L.P. (collectively, "Blackstone"). HCP intends to use the proceeds primarily to pay down debt and for general corporate purposes. In addition, HCP and Brookdale have agreed to complete several other transactions, as outlined below. Combined, these transactions will advance our strategic priorities to reduce Brookdale concentration, improve lease coverage, diversify our operator relationships and strengthen our balance sheet and credit profile.
Overview of the Brookdale Transactions:
Mike McKee, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of HCP, stated, "We are pleased to announce these transactions related to our Brookdale portfolio, as a key component of our plan to launch HCP 3.0 as outlined earlier in the year. These initiatives enable us to address several important strategic priorities for HCP, including reducing our Brookdale concentration, improving the lease coverage of our triple-net senior housing portfolio and diversifying our operator relationships. We are delighted to have reached a positive outcome on these high priority initiatives and look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership with Brookdale, the largest senior housing operator in the country."
Strategic Benefits (upon completing the Brookdale transactions ("Transactions") outlined above):
The closing of the Transactions is expected to occur in various stages by the end of 2017, but remain subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, and may not close on the anticipated timeline or at all.
