Rental income from Ensign—The Company derives a majority of its rental income through operating lease agreements with Ensign. Ensign is a holding company with no direct operating assets, employees or revenue. All of Ensign’s operations are conducted by separate independent but wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which has its own management, employees and assets. See Note 12, Concentration of Risk, for a discussion of major operator concentration.
Christopher R. Christensen, one of the Company’s directors from June 1, 2014 through April 15, 2015, serves as the chief executive officer of Ensign as well as a member of Ensign’s board of directors. As such, all rental income and tenant reimbursements earned related to the Ensign Master Leases during Mr. Christensen's tenure on our board are considered related party in nature. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $16.3 million in rental income from Ensign while Mr. Christensen sat on the Board of the Company as well as $1.4 million of tenant reimbursements. After April 15, 2015, the effective date of Mr. Christensen's resignation from our board of directors, rental income and tenant reimbursements related to the Ensign Master Leases, and any related accounts receivable, are not considered earned or due from a related party.
