10. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Commitments

RHM Portfolio Acquisition

On September 13, 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire 11 rehabilitation facilities in the Federal Republic of Germany from RHM Klinik-und Altenheimbetriebe GmbH & Co. KG (“RHM”) for an aggregate purchase price, including payment of applicable transfer taxes, of €184.0 million (plus a commitment to provide up to €10.0 million in financing for the construction of additions to the facilities within the next two years)(“RHM Portfolio Acquisition”). Each of the facilities will be leased back to RHM under a master lease providing for a term of 27 years and for annual rent increases of 2.0% from 2015 through 2017, and of 0.5% thereafter. On December 31, 2020 and every three years thereafter, rent will also be increased to reflect 70% of cumulative increases in the German consumer price index.

The RHM Portfolio Acquisition will represent our first acquisition outside of the United States; however the deal is currently structured similarly to our transactions in the United States. This acquisition would add a portfolio of assets with a financially stable long-term operating history backed by an international private equity sponsor.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, if the conditions precedent to acquiring the 11 facilities are not satisfied or waived on or prior to 90 days after the date of the acquisition agreement, we and the seller will each have the option to close the RHM Portfolio Acquisition with respect to a lesser number of facilities and for a reduced aggregate purchase price. We intend to consummate the RHM Portfolio Acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2013. No assurance can be given that any portion of the RHM Portfolio Acquisition will occur as described herein or at all.
