The information contained herein is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Incorporated by reference is the Press Release. This information is being furnished under Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As set forth in the Press Release, the Company has 73 nursing and rehabilitation centers and 16 long-term acute care (“LTAC”) hospitals within ten separate renewal bundles currently subject to lease renewals under its master lease agreements with Ventas, Inc. The Company has until April 30, 2012 to exercise these renewals for an additional five-year term. Each renewal bundle contains both nursing and rehabilitation centers and LTAC hospitals. The master lease agreements require that the Company renew all or none of the facilities within a renewal bundle.
As set forth in the Press Release, the Company announced that it intends to renew three renewal bundles containing 19 nursing and rehabilitation centers and six LTAC hospitals (collectively, the “Renewal Facilities”). The Renewal Facilities contain 2,178 licensed nursing and rehabilitation center beds and 616 licensed hospital beds. The Company also announced in the Press Release that it does not intend to renew seven renewal bundles containing 54 nursing and rehabilitation centers and ten LTAC hospitals (collectively, the “Expiring Facilities”). The Expiring Facilities contain 6,140 licensed nursing and rehabilitation center beds and 1,066 licensed hospital beds. The Company will continue to operate the Expiring Facilities and include the Expiring Facilities in its results from continuing operations through the expiration of the lease term in April 2013.
The effectiveness of the renewals is contingent upon there being no event of default under the master lease agreements upon the renewal effective date in April 2013. Additional information regarding the master lease agreements is contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and copies of the master lease agreements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
