Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
LTC Properties, Inc. (the “Company” or “LTC”) is providing an update on two of its operators and also providing information on cash rent deferrals and abatements for the 2021 first and second quarters to date.
On April 16, 2021, Abri Health Services, LLC (“Abri”) and Senior Care Centers, LLC (“Senior Care”) (collectively, the “Lessee”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Senior Care and certain of its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Senior Care Debtors”), previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2018. During 2019, while in bankruptcy, Senior Care Debtors assumed LTC’s master lease. In March 2020, Senior Care Debtors emerged from bankruptcy. Concurrently with their emergence from bankruptcy, in accordance with the order confirming Senior Care Debtors’ plan of reorganization, Abri was formed as the parent company of reorganized Senior Care Debtors and became co-tenant and co-obligor with reorganized Senior Care under LTC’s master lease.
As of April 16, 2021, the Lessee leases and subleases to affiliates 11 skilled nursing centers in Texas, including approximately 1,400 beds, under a master lease with LTC. Annualized rental revenue from the Lessee is approximately $15.0 million, representing 9.2% and 9.6% of LTC’s annualized GAAP and cash revenue, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. LTC has not received rent from the Lessee since February 2021.
As previously disclosed, LTC sent a notice of default to the Lessee for non-payment of March 2021 rent and additional charges owed under the master lease, followed by a notice of termination of master lease to be effective April 17, 2021. The current minimum monthly rent owed to LTC by the Lessee is $1.2 million. At the time of the April 16, 2021 bankruptcy filings by the Lessee, LTC was in the process of transitioning the portfolio to Texas-based HMG Healthcare, LLC (“HMG”) pursuant to a master lease, subject to various conditions precedent, including Lessee’s (and its sublessee affiliates’) compliance with the transition obligations under LTC’s existing master lease, with a goal to complete the transition by the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Additionally, LTC’s operator, Senior Lifestyle Corporation (“Senior Lifestyle”), has not paid rent in 2021. As previously disclosed, LTC is in the process of transitioning the portfolio. To date, 11 of the 23 properties already have been transitioned. Four additional properties are expected to be transferred by the end of the second quarter of 2021. Of the remaining eight properties, three are expected to be sold by the end of the second quarter, subject to timely completion of due diligence, one is expected to be transferred by the end of July, one has been closed and will be sold for an alternative use, and options are currently being evaluated for the last three. The current minimum monthly rent due to LTC from Senior Lifestyle less amounts received from the re-leased properties is $1.1 million.
