Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 below related to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 24, 2016, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (“NorthStar Healthcare”) and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (“NorthStar Realty”), acting through their indirect subsidiaries, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which NorthStar Healthcare agreed to acquire NorthStar Realty’s 60% interest (the “NorthStar Realty JV Interest”) in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) which owns 32 private pay independent living facilities (the “Portfolio”) for a purchase price of $534.5 million, excluding escrows and subject to customary proration and adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Price”, and such transaction, the “Transaction”). NorthStar Healthcare originally acquired a 40% interest in the Joint Venture in connection with the acquisition of the Portfolio by the Joint Venture on May 19, 2015 from affiliates of Harvest Facility Holdings LP (“Holiday”) and, following the Transaction, will own all of the interests in the Portfolio.

The facilities comprising the Portfolio contain approximately 3,985 units and are located in 12 states, with the largest concentrations in California, Texas and Washington. As of February 10, 2016, the Portfolio’s overall resident occupancy was approximately 93%. The Portfolio is currently managed by an affiliate of Holiday pursuant to management agreements.
    
NorthStar Healthcare completed the Transaction on March 1, 2016. NorthStar Healthcare funded the acquisition of the NorthStar Realty JV Interest with approximately $146 million of equity, plus closing costs, with proceeds from NorthStar Healthcare’s follow-on public offering of common stock, and assumed NorthStar Realty’s 60% share of 32 separate, cross-collateralized loans (each, a “Loan”) with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $648 million. Each Loan is through Fannie Mae’s Multifamily DUS Loan Program, has a fixed interest rate of 4.17% and an original term of ten years from the Joint Venture’s date of acquisition. Each Loan is non-recourse, subject to a limited “non-recourse carveout” guaranty originally provided by NorthStar Realty Finance Limited Partnership, NorthStar Realty’s operating partnership, and assumed by NorthStar Healthcare Income Operating Partnership, LP, NorthStar Healthcare’s operating partnership, in connection with the Transaction.

The Transaction was approved by NorthStar Healthcare’s board of directors, including all of its independent directors, and validated by an independent third-party appraisal for the Portfolio in accordance with NorthStar Healthcare’s charter. NorthStar Realty and NorthStar Healthcare are both advised by affiliates of NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Purchase Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
