Senior Living Community Management Agreements Senior Living Community Management Agreements
Our managed senior living communities are operated by third parties pursuant to management agreements. Five Star, which is an operating division of AlerisLife, manages many of our SHOP communities, and we lease nearly all of our senior living communities managed by third party managers, to our TRSs.
Management Arrangements with Five Star. On June 9, 2021, we and Five Star entered into an amended and restated master management agreement, or the Master Management Agreement, for the senior living communities that Five Star manages for us and interim management agreements for the senior living communities that we and Five Star agreed to transition to other third party managers. In addition, AlerisLife delivered to us an amended and restated guaranty agreement pursuant to which AlerisLife is continuing to guarantee the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary’s obligations under the applicable management agreements. The principal changes to the management arrangements included:
that Five Star agreed to cooperate with us in transitioning 108 of our senior living communities with approximately 7,500 living units to other third party managers without our payment of any termination fee to Five Star;
that we no longer have the right to sell up to an additional $682,000 of senior living communities currently managed by Five Star and terminate Five Star's management of those communities without our payment of a fee to Five Star upon sale;
that Five Star is continuing to manage 119 of the 120 of our senior living communities that were included as part of the management arrangements (the management for one active adult community was terminated by mutual agreement effective October 31, 2022), and that the skilled nursing units in all of our continuing care retirement communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, which then included approximately 1,500 living units, were closed and are being evaluated and repositioned;
that beginning in 2025, we will have the right to terminate up to 10% of the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, based on total revenues per year for failure to meet 80% of a target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for the applicable period;
that the incentive fee that Five Star may earn in any calendar year for the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage is no longer subject to a cap and that any senior living communities that are undergoing a major renovation or repositioning are excluded from the calculation of the incentive fee;
that RMR will oversee any major renovation or repositioning activities at the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage; and
that the term of our management agreements with Five Star for our senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage was extended by two years to December 31, 2036.
Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement, Five Star receives a management fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities. Five Star may receive an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the annual EBITDA of all communities on a combined basis exceeds the target EBITDA for all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year. The target EBITDA for those senior living communities on a combined basis is increased annually based on the greater of the annual increase of the consumer price index, or CPI, or 2%, plus 6% of any capital investments funded at the managed senior living communities on a combined basis in excess of the target capital investment. Unless otherwise agreed, the target capital investment increases annually based on the greater of the annual increase of CPI or 2%. Any senior living communities that are undergoing a major renovation or repositioning are excluded from the calculation of the incentive fee.
The Master Management Agreement expires in 2036, subject to Five Star's right to extend for two consecutive five year terms if Five Star achieves certain performance targets for the combined managed communities portfolio, unless earlier terminated. Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement, beginning in 2025, we have the right to terminate up to 10% of the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, based on total revenues per year for failure to meet 80% of a target EBITDA for the applicable period.
In connection with ABP Trust’s acquisition of AlerisLife on March 20, 2023, we amended the Master Management Agreement to eliminate any change of control default or event of default provisions effective upon the consummation of the AlerisLife acquisition by ABP Trust. See Note 8 for further information regarding ABP Trust’s acquisition of AlerisLife.
In 2021, we completed the transition of 107 of the 108 senior living communities, containing 7,340 living units, from Five Star to other third party managers. The remaining senior living community was closed in February 2022 and we are assessing opportunities to redevelop that property. We recorded $0, $2,096 and $17,363 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of costs that we incurred related to retention and other transition costs to acquisition and certain other transaction related costs in our consolidated statements of operations.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Five Star. Five Star managed 119, 119 and 120 of our senior living communities as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star to our TRSs, and Five Star manages these communities pursuant to the Master Management Agreement. Effective October 31, 2022, Five Star ceased managing an active adult community we own located in Plano, TX, and RMR assumed management of that community pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR. We paid Five Star a termination fee of $350 in connection with the termination of Five Star's management of this community.
We incurred management fees payable to Five Star of $40,119, $37,037 and $47,479 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, $37,436, $33,737 and $43,864, respectively, of the total management fees were expensed to property operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and $2,683, $3,300 and $3,615, respectively, were capitalized in our consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
In addition to providing management services to us, Five Star also provides certain other services to residents at some of the senior living communities it manages for us, such as rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides rehabilitation services on an outpatient basis, the residents, third party payers or government programs pay Five Star for those rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, we generally pay Five Star for those rehabilitation services and charges for these services are included in amounts charged to residents, third party payers or government programs. During 2023, Five Star closed all inpatient clinics and as such we do not expect to incur these fees to Five Star in the future. We incurred fees of $1,213, $6,289 and $11,233 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with respect to rehabilitation services Five Star provided at our senior living communities that are payable by us. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
Since January 1, 2021, we sold certain senior living communities that were then managed by Five Star. We and Five Star terminated our management agreements for these senior living communities in connection with these sales. See Note 3 for further information regarding these sales.
We lease to Five Star space at certain of our senior living communities, which it uses to provide certain outpatient rehabilitation and wellness services.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Other Third Party Managers. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, our other third party managers managed 113, 111 and 107 of our senior living communities. The terms of the management agreements with the other third party managers are generally as follows: the other third party managers will receive a management fee equal to 5% to 6% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for direct costs and expenses related to such communities. These agreements generally also provide for the other third party managers to earn a minimum base fee for a portion of the term of the agreement. Additionally, the other third party managers have the ability to earn incentive fees equal to 15% to 25% of the amount by which EBITDA of the applicable communities exceeds the target EBITDA for the applicable communities. The other third party managers can also earn a construction supervision fee ranging between 3% and 5% of construction costs.
The initial terms of the management agreements with the other third party managers are generally five years, subject to automatic extensions of successive terms of two years each unless earlier terminated or timely notice of nonrenewal is delivered. The management agreements with the other third party managers also generally provide us with the right to terminate the management agreements for communities that do not earn 70% to 80% of the target EBITDA for such communities, after an agreed upon stabilized period.
In December 2023, we notified one of our third party managers which manages certain of our communities located in Wisconsin and Illinois that we will be terminating our management agreement with respect to these communities. We expect to
transition these communities during the first half of 2023 to another third party manager which we have an existing relationship with. We expect the terms of the management agreement for these communities to be generally consistent with the terms outlined above. We expect to pay a termination fee of approximately $1,000 in connection with this transition.
We incurred management fees payable to our other third party managers of $21,863, $20,739 and $6,239 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
