Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2013, Care Investment Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) among the Company, Care YBE Subsidiary LLC, a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member on June 24, 2013 was the Company (“Care YBE”), and NHI-Bickford Re, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), relating to the purchase and sale of 100% of the membership interests of Care YBE. Care YBE owns the fourteen senior living facilities, described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as the Bickford Senior Living Portfolio (the “Bickford Portfolio”), which the Company acquired in two separate sale-leaseback transactions occurring in June and September of 2008, respectively, from an affiliate of the Buyer. The Bickford Portfolio, developed and managed by affiliates of the Buyer, contains 643 units with six properties located in Iowa, five in Illinois, two in Nebraska and one in Indiana. Additionally, the lessee of the Bickford properties is an affiliate of Buyer.

Pursuant to the Agreement, upon closing of the membership interest purchase transaction (the “Closing”), the Company will sell to Buyer and Buyer will purchase from the Company, 100% of the membership interests in Care YBE for the purchase price of $122,750,000, subject to certain allocations, credits and adjustments as described in the Agreement, including a credit that Buyer will receive for the total outstanding balance of all principal and accrued interest with respect to the Fannie Loans, as defined herein. The purchase price was determined by an arms-length negotiation process. Care YBE is the owner of the Bickford Portfolio, and is the borrower under certain loans (the “Fannie Loans”) evidenced by (a) a $74,589,000 Multi-Family Note dated June 26, 2008 (with an outstanding principal balance, as of June 27, 2013, of $71,538,204.34), and (b) a $7,638,400 Multi-Family Note dated September 30, 2008 (with an outstanding principal balance, as of June 27, 2013, of $7,279,419.90) (collectively, the “Fannie Notes”) which Fannie Notes will remain an obligation of Care YBE following the Closing. The membership interest purchase transaction closed on June 28, 2013.

On June 28, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its membership interests in Care YBE to the Buyer. The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 of this Report is incorporated herein by reference.
