Forest Park - Frisco On February 9, 2016, the Company and Forest Park Medical Center at Frisco, LLC (“Frisco Operator”) agreed to sell their respective interests in the Forest Park Medical Center – Frisco hospital (“Frisco Hospital”) to Columbia Medical Center of Plano Subsidiary, L.P. , a subsidiary of HCA Holdings, Inc. for a total cash purchase price of $96.25 million, less the assumption of certain capital lease obligations of approximately $7.3 million. The sales are subject to certain closing conditions, including bankruptcy court and other regulatory approvals, and are expected to close by March 31, 2016. On February 22, 2016, the bankruptcy court approved the sales of the Frisco Hospital. The Company expects to receive net proceeds in connection with the sale of the Frisco Hospital (including proceeds it expects to realize on collateral it anticipates receiving from the Frisco Operator in connection with resolution of the outstanding balance on the Frisco Operator’s debtor-in-possession loan from Sabra) of between $89.1 million and $94.1 million. Accordingly, the Company expects to recognize a loss in the first quarter of 2016 of $30.0 million to $35.0 million on its investments in the Frisco Hospital and the debtor-in-possession loan, before consideration of the approximately $21.3 million in guarantees from the owners of the Frisco Operator. When evaluating the probability of various potential outcomes of the bankruptcy sale as of December 31, 2015, the probability-weighted expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, the Company did not record an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2015.
