Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions

During the period from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company acquired 26 communities that the Company previously leased, disposed of 15 owned communities, and sold its ownership interest in its unconsolidated entry fee CCRC Venture (the "CCRC Venture") with Healthpeak Properties, Inc. ("Healthpeak"), and the Company's triple-net lease obligations on eleven communities were terminated. The acquisitions of formerly leased communities include the 18 communities acquired from Healthpeak described below and eight communities acquired pursuant to the exercise of a purchase option for a purchase price of $39.3 million, all of which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned 355 communities, leased 306 communities, managed 80 communities, and two unencumbered communities in the CCRCs segment were classified as held for sale, resulting in $37.4 million being recorded as assets held for sale. The closings of the various pending and expected transactions described within this note are, or will be, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including (where applicable) the receipt of regulatory approvals. However, there can be no assurance that the transactions will close or, if they do, when the actual closings will occur.

Dispositions of Owned Communities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of one owned community for cash proceeds of $5.5 million, net of transaction costs, and recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $0.2 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed the sale of 14 owned communities for cash proceeds of $85.4 million, net of transaction costs, and recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $5.5 million. The Company utilized a portion of the cash proceeds from the asset sales to repay approximately $5.1 million of associated mortgage debt and debt prepayment penalties. These dispositions included the sale of six communities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for which the Company received cash proceeds of $29.5 million, net of transaction costs.

Healthpeak CCRC Venture and Master Lease Transactions

On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into definitive agreements, including a Master Transactions and Cooperation Agreement (the "MTCA") and an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), providing for a multi-part transaction

with Healthpeak. The parties subsequently amended the agreements to include one additional entry fee CCRC community as part of the sale of the Company's interest in the CCRC Venture. The components of the multi-part transaction include:

•

CCRC Venture Transaction. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on January 31, 2020, Healthpeak acquired the Company's 51% ownership interest in the CCRC Venture, which held 14 entry fee CCRCs, for a total purchase price of $295.2 million (representing an aggregate valuation of $1.06 billion less portfolio debt, subject to a net working capital adjustment), which remains subject to a post-closing net working capital adjustment. The Company recognized a $370.7 million gain on sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the Company derecognized the net equity method liability for the sale of the ownership interest in the CCRC Venture. At the closing, the parties terminated the Company's existing management agreements with the 14 entry fee CCRCs, Healthpeak paid the Company a $100.0 million management agreement termination fee, and the Company transitioned operations of the entry fee CCRCs to a new operator. The Company recognized $100.0 million of management fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for the management termination fee. Prior to the January 31, 2020 closing, the parties moved the remaining two entry fee CCRCs into a new unconsolidated venture on substantially the same terms as the CCRC Venture to accommodate the sale of such two communities expected to occur in 2021. Subsequent to these transactions, the Company will have exited substantially all of its entry fee CCRC operations.

•

Master Lease Transactions. Pursuant to the MTCA, on January 31, 2020, the parties amended and restated the existing master lease pursuant to which the Company continues to lease 25 communities from Healthpeak, and the Company acquired 18 formerly leased communities from Healthpeak, at which time the 18 communities were removed from the master lease. At the closing, the Company paid $405.5 million to acquire such communities and to reduce its annual rent under the amended and restated master lease. The Company funded the community acquisitions with $192.6 million of non-recourse mortgage financing and the proceeds from the multi-part transaction. In addition, Healthpeak has agreed to transition one leased community to a successor operator at a future date. With respect to the continuing 24 communities, the Company's amended and restated master lease: (i) has an initial term to expire on December 31, 2027, subject to two extension options at the Company's election for ten years each, which must be exercised with respect to the entire pool of leased communities; (ii) the initial annual base rent for the 24 communities is $41.7 million and is subject to an escalator of 2.4% per annum on April 1st of each year; and (iii) Healthpeak has agreed to make available up to $35 million for capital expenditures for a five-year period related to the 24 communities at an initial lease rate of 7.0%. As a result of the community acquisition transaction, the Company recognized a $19.7 million gain on debt extinguishment and derecognized the $105.1 million carrying amount of financing lease obligations for eight communities which were previously subject to sale-leaseback transactions in which the Company was deemed to have continuing involvement.
