Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026
- We expect to fund the acquisition through proceeds from non-recourse mortgage financing and cash on hand.
- We expect to recognize an approximately $60.0 million loss on extinguishment of the financing obligation upon close of the reacquisition transaction for the amount by which the repurchase price exceeds the previously recognized financing obligation for nine communities for which the lease arrangements are accounted for as failed sale-leaseback transactions.
- We plan to sell five additional owned communities (270 units) during 2026.
- Over the longer-term, we expect to continue to fund our business through these principal sources of liquidity.
- Over the near-term, we expect that our liquidity requirements will primarily arise from:
- We expect to complete the acquisition transactions in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for real estate transactions.
- We expect to fund the acquisition of the 30 communities through proceeds from mortgage financing and cash on hand.
- As of September 30, 2026, we had $1.2 billion of operating and financing lease obligations, and for the twelve months ending September 30, 2027, we will be required to make approximately $170.0 million of cash lease payments in connection with our existing operating and financing leases (after giving effect to our planned acquisition transaction for 30 communities).
- There is no assurance that financing will continue to be available on terms consistent with our expectations or at all, or that our efforts will be successful in monetizing certain assets or exercising extension options.
- There can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available or on terms that are acceptable to us.
- We expect to continue to assess our financing alternatives periodically and access the capital markets opportunistically.
- Any such sale of additional equity securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
