CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Major operator concentrations – As of June 30, 2017, Ensign leased 92 skilled nursing, assisted living and independent living facilities which had a total of 9,754 operational beds and are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington. The four states in which Ensign leases the highest concentration of properties are California, Texas, Utah and Arizona.

Additionally, on October 1, 2015, the Company acquired the Liberty Healthcare Portfolio, a 14 facility skilled nursing and assisted living portfolio in Ohio, for $176.5 million inclusive of transaction costs and leased such facilities to subsidiaries of Pristine. The Company has now leased 16 facilities to subsidiaries of Pristine pursuant to a triple-net master lease entered into effective as of October 1, 2015, which has an initial term of 15 years, twofive-year renewal options and no purchase options. As of June 30, 2017, the annual revenues from the Pristine master lease are $18.6 million and are escalated annually by an amount equal to the product of (1) the lesser of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (but not less than zero) or 3.0%, and (2) the prior year’s rent. The Pristine master lease is guaranteed by Pristine, one of its subsidiaries, and its sole principal.
