Senior Unsecured Notes Payable
2028 Senior Notes. On June 17, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CTR Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, CareTrust Capital Corp. (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Issuers”), completed a private offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $400.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $393.8 million after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. The Notes mature on June 30, 2028. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021.
The Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to March 30, 2028 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. At any time on or after March 30, 2028, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If certain changes of control of the Company occur, the Issuers will be required to make an offer to holders of the Notes to repurchase their Notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date.
The obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by the Company and all of CareTrust’s existing and future subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that guarantee obligations under the Third Amended Revolving Facility (as defined below); provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to automatic release under certain customary circumstances.
The indenture governing the Notes contains customary covenants such as limiting the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and create restrictions on the ability of the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to the Issuers. The indenture governing the Notes also requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions. The indenture governing the Notes also contains customary events of default.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the indenture governing the Notes.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan Facility
On December 18, 2024, the Operating Partnership, as the borrower, the Company, as guarantor, CareTrust GP, LLC, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a third amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, an issuing bank and swingline lender (as amended from time to time, the “Third Amended Credit Agreement”). The Third Amended Credit Agreement, which amends and restates the Second Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) provides for an upsized unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Third Amended Revolving Facility”) with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion, including a letter of credit subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and a swingline loan subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments. Future borrowings under the Third Amended Revolving Facility will be used for working capital purposes, for capital expenditures, to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
On May 30, 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into a first amendment to the Third Amended Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment to the Third Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment to the Third Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million in addition to the Third Amended Revolving Facility.
On December 16, 2022, the Operating Partnership, as the borrower, the Company, as guarantor, CareTrust GP, LLC, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a second amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, an issuing bank and swingline lender (as amended from time to time, the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the Company’s amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of February 8, 2019 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”) provided for: (i) an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, including a letter of credit subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and a swingline loan subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and (ii) the continuation of the unsecured term loan credit facility which was previously extended under the Prior Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million.
On October 10, 2023, the Operating Partnership, the Company, CareTrust GP, LLC, certain of the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries and KeyBank National Association entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment to the Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment to the Second Amended Credit Agreement restated the definition of Consolidated Total Asset Value to include net proceeds from at-the-market forward commitments executed but not yet closed as of the relevant date as if such proceeds had actually been received.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Third Amended Revolving Facility are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.05% to 0.55% per annum or Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.05% to 1.55% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). In addition, the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Third Amended Revolving Facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (unless the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt and the Operating Partnership elects to decrease the applicable margin as described above, in which case the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum based on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior long-term unsecured debt). The interest rates applicable to loans under the Term Loan Facility are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.80% per annum or Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.80% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). The First Amendment to the Third Amended Credit Agreement removed the SOFR credit spread adjustment applicable to loans under the Third Amended Revolving Facility bearing interest at Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR.
As of September 30, 2025, the Operating Partnership had $500.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and no borrowings outstanding under the Third Amended Revolving Facility.
The Third Amended Revolving Facility has a maturity date of February 9, 2029, and includes, at the sole discretion of the Operating Partnership, two six-month extension options. The Term Loan Facility has a maturity date of May 30, 2030.
The Third Amended Revolving Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries that are party to the Third Amended Credit Agreement (other than the Operating Partnership). The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, amend organizational documents and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Third Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, consisting of a maximum debt to asset value ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum secured debt to asset value ratio, a maximum unsecured debt to unencumbered properties asset value ratio and a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio. The Third Amended Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under the Third Amended Revolving Facility or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy certain covenants (including the financial maintenance covenants), the occurrence of change of control and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Third Amended Credit Agreement.
