Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 3, 2012, Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into master lease agreements with certain subsidiaries of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Prime”), which replaces the current leases with the same tenants covering the same properties. The foregoing is only a summary of the master leases and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the master leases, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. We also released a press release announcing the master leases along with other matters. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The master lease agreement with Prime covers 10 properties with a total lease base of $251 million. The master lease is for 10 years and contains two renewal options of five years each. The initial lease rate is generally consistent with the blended average rate of the prior lease agreements, which generated annual cash rents of $26 million. However, the annual escalators, which in the prior leases were limited, have been increased to reflect 100% of CPI increases, along with a minimum floor. The master leases include repurchase options substantially similar to those in the prior leases, including provisions establishing minimum repurchase prices equal to our total investment.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
