Nashville, TN., June 14, 2011 — Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) (the “Company”) announced today that it has completed the issuance of $275 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or a combination of cash and shares, at the Company’s option, based on an initial conversion rate of 34.1006 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $29.325 per share of the Company’s common stock. BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC acted as joint book running managers for the offering of the Notes. In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain financial institutions, that included certain of the underwriters or their respective affiliates (the “hedge counterparties”). The Company also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties initially relating to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock and having a strike price of $40.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, which is 75% higher than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 8, 2011. The shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the warrants have been reserved for issuance by the Company and authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
