Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

            On December 23, 2011, the board of directors of American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), ratified the Company’s entry, through its sponsor, American Realty Capital V, LLC, into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the fee simple interest in a medical office building located in Willingboro, New Jersey.  The Company’s obligation to close upon the acquisition was subject to the satisfactory completion of a due diligence review of the property and other customary conditions to closing, which was completed on December 29, 2011.  The Company acquired the property on December 29, 2011.

A description of the acquisition and the property is included in Item 2.01 — Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 29, 2011, the Company closed its acquisition of a fee simple interest in a medical office building located in Willingboro, New Jersey. The Company acquired the property though an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership.  The seller of the property is Developmed Properties III, LLC.  The seller has no material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.

The one story, 11,000 square foot building was originally completed in 1995 but substantially renovated and expanded in 2010 to provide healthcare services including cardiology, critical care medicine, internal medicine, neurosurgery and vascular surgery services through multiple exam rooms and three procedure rooms.

The property is 100% leased to The Cooper Health System, a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation (“Cooper”).  The lease commenced in April 2010 and has a 10-year term expiring in April 2020.  The lease contains a 9.7% rental-rate escalation in May 2015.  The lease is net whereby the tenant is required to pay substantially all operating expenses, excluding any costs to maintain and repair the roof and structure of the building, in addition to base rent.  The lease contains two five-year renewal options at fixed rates.  The aggregate annualized straight line rental income for the property is approximately $288,000, or approximately $26.18 per rentable square foot.

The purchase price of the property was approximately $3.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from the sale of its common stock.  The Company may seek to obtain financing on the property post-closing.  However, there is no guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms it believes are favorable, or at all.
