Acquisition of Emeritus

On July 31, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the equity and voting interests in Emeritus. The results of Emeritus' operations will be included in the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date. Emeritus is a senior living service provider focused on operating residential style communities throughout the United States. Emeritus' assisted living and Alzheimer's and dementia care communities provide a residential housing alternative for senior citizens who need help with the activities of daily living, with an emphasis on assisted living and personal care services. Many of Emeritus' communities offer independent living alternatives and, to a lesser extent, skilled nursing care. Emeritus also offers a range of outpatient therapy and home health services in Florida, Arizona and Texas. As of July 31, 2014, Emeritus owned 182 communities and leased 311 communities.

The aggregate acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration transferred for the acquisition of Emeritus was approximately $1.6 billion which consisted of the issuance of 47.6 million shares of common stock in the acquisition of outstanding Emeritus common stock and Emeritus stock options. The fair value of the 47.6 million common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the acquisition date.

As a result of the acquisition of Emeritus, the Company acquired entities that are lessees under operating and capital leases covering 311 communities, as well as certain other leases such as office leases and leases associated with Emeritus' Nurse on Call business. The community leases contain customary terms, including assignment and change of control restrictions, maintenance and capital expenditure obligations, termination provisions and financial covenants. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company has entered into guarantees of certain of these leases.

In addition, as a result of the acquisition of Emeritus, the Company assumed approximately $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of existing mortgage indebtedness of Emeritus. The mortgage loans are collateralized by a total of 182 underlying communities, bear interest either at fixed rates at a weighted average of 6.07% per annum or at variable rates at a weighted average of 5.19% per annum (in each case, as of June 30, 2014), and have remaining maturities ranging from approximately three months to 33 years. The mortgage loans contain customary terms including assignment and change of control restrictions, acceleration provisions and financial covenants. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company has entered into guarantees of certain of these debt arrangements.

In connection with its appeal of the June 4, 2013 judgment in the Joan Boice et al. v. Emeritus Corporation et al. case, Emeritus was required to post an appeal bond with the court.  Emeritus made a cash deposit in the amount of $20.9 million to collateralize the bond.  The amount of the cash deposit and the reserve regarding the judgment have been contemplated in the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of Emeritus' assets and liabilities. The table below presents a preliminary allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

Upon completion of the fair value assessment, the Company anticipates the ultimate fair values of the net assets acquired will differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Generally, changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

The goodwill of $518 million is primarily attributed to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table provides the pro forma consolidated statements of operations as if the Company had acquired Emeritus on January 1, 2013 (in millions, except share data):

The Company incurred $11.3 million and $21.8 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Emeritus for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Acquisition costs are primarily comprised of transaction fees and direct acquisition costs, including legal, finance, consulting, and other professional fees. These acquisition costs are included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These transaction costs are not expected to have a continuing significant impact on our financial results and therefore have been excluded from the pro forma consolidated statements of operations.

The pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by Brookdale's management; however, these pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been obtained had the Emeritus acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor do they purport to represent the consolidated results of operations for future periods. These pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not include the impact of any synergies that may be achieved in the acquisition or any strategies that management may consider in order to continue to efficiently manage operations.

On July 30, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Emeritus, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to authorize up to 400 million shares of common stock.

Community Acquisitions

In July 2014, the Company acquired the underlying real estate associated with four communities that were previously leased for an aggregate purchase price of $51.4 million. The results of operations of three and one of these communities, prior and subsequent to the acquisition, are reported in the Retirement Centers and Assisted Living segments, respectively. The Company financed the transactions with $17.0 million of seller-financing secured by three of the communities. The balance of the purchase price was paid from cash on hand.

HCP Transactions

On April 23, 2014, the Company and HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation, ("HCP"), entered into a Master Contribution and Transactions Agreement (the "Master Agreement"). At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement Closing"), the Company and HCP will enter into two joint venture transactions and amend the terms of certain existing agreements between the Company and HCP, and between Emeritus and HCP (collectively, the "HCP Transactions"). At the Master Agreement Closing:

   •   The Company and HCP will enter into a joint venture (the "CCRCs JV") with respect to certain continuing care retirement / entrance fee communities currently owned, leased and/or operated by the Company. The Company will own a 51% ownership interest and HCP will own a 49% ownership interest in the CCRCs JV.

  •   The Company and HCP will enter into a joint venture (the "RIDEA JV") with respect to certain independent living, assisted living, memory care and/or skilled nursing care communities currently owned by HCP and leased and operated by Emeritus. The Company will own a 20% ownership interest and HCP will own an 80% ownership interest in the RIDEA JV.

  •   The Company and HCP will amend and restate certain triple net leases (the "NNN-Leased Portfolio") between Emeritus and HCP in respect of 153 communities, which amended and restated leases will provide for the creation of multiple pools of master leases. The amended and restated leases will provide for lower future rent payments and escalations compared to the existing leases. HCP has agreed to make available up to $100 million for capital expenditures related to the communities in the NNN-Leased Portfolio during calendar years 2014 through 2017 at an initial lease rate of 7.0%.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company and HCP have also agreed that the Company will waive the purchase option rights granted by HCP to Emeritus pursuant to 49 of the existing Emeritus leases. The Master Agreement Closing is subject to customary closing conditions including the receipt of regulatory approvals and lender consents. The HCP Transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2014, although there can be no assurance that the transactions will close or, if they do, when the actual closing will occur.

On April 22, 2014, the Company executed purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") which provide for the acquisition by the Company of four communities managed by the Company (the "Managed Communities") for an aggregate purchase price of $323.5 million. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company will contribute the rights and obligations of the Company under the Purchase Agreements to the CCRCs JV and HCP will contribute $323.5 million in cash to the CCRCs JV for such purchases.
