Acquisition and Investments

Macedonia Acquisition

In April 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire a community located in Macedonia, Ohio for a purchase price of $10.7 million plus transaction costs of $0.4 million. In May 2024, the Company closed on the acquisition and entered into a mortgage loan totaling $9.4 million. The Company purchased a Secured Overnight Financing Rate- (“SOFR”) based interest rate cap (“IRC”) to reduce exposure to the variable interest rate fluctuations associated with the new mortgage. The total cost of the IRC was $0.2 million and has an aggregate notional amount of $9.4 million. The IRC has a 24-month term and caps SOFR at 6.00%. See “Note 6–Notes Payable” and “Note 13–Fair Value Measurements.”

The asset acquisition was recorded at relative fair value. We recorded $10.0 million in “Property and equipment, net” for tangible assets purchased; $1.2 million in “Other assets, net” for in-place leases; and $54 thousand in “Other liabilities” for below market leases for this acquisition in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Investment in Stone Unconsolidated Entities

In April 2024, the Company and KZ Stone Investor LLC (“KZ Investor”) formed a new joint venture, Stone JV LLC (“Stone”) for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating four senior housing communities located in the Midwest. In May 2024, Stone purchased the four communities for a purchase price of $64.0 million. KZ Investor is the controlling managing member of the newly formed venture and owns 66.67% of the entity as of June 30, 2024. Sonida owns a 33.33% noncontrolling interest in the new venture as of June 30, 2024, which was acquired through cash contributions in connection with the closing. Sonida operates the four communities for a management fee based on gross revenues of the applicable communities, as well as an incentive management fee based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent, and management fees, and other customary terms and conditions.

The Company has evaluated its investment in the Stone joint venture under ASC 810. The Company has determined that it does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with ASC 810. The Company's interests in the VIE are, therefore, accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of the Company's investment in the unconsolidated venture and maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's ownership interest in the joint venture was $22.3 million, which is included in equity method investment on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

The Company evaluates the realization of its investment in unconsolidated entities accounted for using the equity method if circumstances indicate the Company's investment is other than temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no impairments.
