SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., June 03, 2021 - CareTrust REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTRE) (“CareTrust REIT”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiaries CTR Partnership, L.P. and a corporate co-issuer, CareTrust Capital Corp. (together, the “Issuers”), priced their private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered only 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 “Securities Act”). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and will be jointly and severally guaranteed by CareTrust REIT and CareTrust REIT’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under CareTrust REIT’s credit facility (other than the Issuers).
The Notes will mature on June 30, 2028, and will bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, beginning on December 30, 2021. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on June 17, 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
CareTrust REIT estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of Notes will be approximately $394.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by CareTrust REIT. CareTrust REIT intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the redemption price and related expenses to redeem all of the Issuers’ 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). CareTrust REIT intends to use the remaining net proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
The Notes have not been and are not expected to be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
