Subsequent to quarter end, Clairvest and CEP IV committed to invest US$20.0 million in New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC ("Meadowlands"), which operates the Meadowlands horse racing track located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The investment will be made by way of debt. The commitment also grants Clairvest and CEP IV warrants as well as future co-investment rights. Clairvest's portion of the commitment is US$5.4 million, none of which has been funded as of February 13, 2012.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBRA) announced today that it has amended its existing secured revolving credit facility and increased the current borrowing capacity under the facility from $100 million to $200 million, with an accordion feature allowing for an additional increase of up to $150 million, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity under the amended secured revolving credit facility of $350 million ("Amended Credit Facility").

The Amended Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 10, 2015, and includes a one year extension option. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to, at our option, LIBOR plus 3.00% - 4.00% or a Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility) plus 2.00% - 3.00%. The actual interest rate within the applicable range is determined based on our then applicable Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility). In addition, the Amended Credit Facility includes a facility fee equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility.

"The Amended Credit Facility provides us with more than enough liquidity to fund the level of acquisitions implied by the high end of our 2012 guidance. In addition to the $200 million available under the Amended Credit Facility, we had cash on hand of $42 million as of December 31, 2011. We are also pleased to have eliminated the 175 basis point LIBOR floor from the original facility and to have lowered our spread over LIBOR. As a result and based on current LIBOR rates, we expect our interest rate under the Amended Credit Facility to be in the range of 3.50% to 4.00%, which is 1.75% to 2.25% lower than what our interest rate would have been under the original facility. This lower borrowing cost should enhance our competitiveness for assets, particularly given our desire to increase the percentage of senior housing assets in our portfolio," stated Rick Matros, Chairman and CEO.

The lenders under the Amended Credit Facility are: Bank of America, NA, Barclays Bank PLC, Citibank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, RBS Citizens Bank, N.A. dba Charter One, and Jefferies Group, Inc.

MISSION VIEJO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/13/12 -- Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: AOLS) (PINKSHEETS: AOLS)

• $2.2 million in revenue
• Meeting to request exercise of additional contract options scheduled for February 14, 2012

Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: AOLS) (PINKSHEETS: AOLS), a biotechnology company leveraging significant government funding to develop a platform of novel compounds in oncology and biodefense, announced today financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company reported a net profit of approximately $2,977,000, or $0.05 per share, which includes a non-cash adjustment of approximately $3,688,000 related to decreases in the fair value of warrants that are included as a component of other income (expenses) in the statement of operations, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $7,620,000, or $0.13 per share, which includes a non-cash charge of approximately $7,202,000 related to increases in the fair value of warrants that are included as a component of other income (expenses) in the statement of operations, for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

"We have completed the first year of our five year contract with BARDA, and our team has delivered key milestones such as developing and validating murine and NHP models for lung acute radiation syndrome, improving our manufacturing processes, enhancing our understanding of the mechanism of action of AEOL 10150 and initiating dose finding studies in mice," stated John L. McManus, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to BARDA's decision on additional contract options, and hope to initiate large murine and NHP efficacy studies, as well as a Phase 1 study in healthy human volunteers."

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $2,215,000, which compares to zero revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The revenue is from the collaboration with BARDA announced on February 11, 2011.

Research and development expenses increased about $1,880,000 to approximately $2,077,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, from approximately $190,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to work related to the BARDA Contract.

General and administrative expenses increased about $306,000, or 55%, to approximately $856,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from approximately $550,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to work related to the BARDA Contract.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $1,186,000 in cash and cash equivalents and 60,470,718 common shares outstanding.

Aeolus is filing today with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

About AEOL 10150

AEOL 10150 is a broad-spectrum catalytic antioxidant specifically designed to neutralize reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The neutralization of these species reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and subsequent tissue damage-signaling cascades resulting from radiation exposure. AEOL 10150 could have a profound beneficial impact on people who have been exposed, or are about to be exposed, to high-doses of radiation in the treatment of oncology.

AEOL 10150 has already performed well in preclinical and non-clinical studies, was well-tolerated in two human clinical trials, and has demonstrated statistically significant survival efficacy in an acute radiation-induced lung injury model. The Company believes it could have a profound beneficial impact on people who have been exposed, or are about to be exposed, to high-doses of radiation, whether from cancer therapy or a nuclear event.

About Aeolus Pharmaceuticals

Aeolus Pharmaceuticals is developing a new class of catalytic antioxidant compounds that protects healthy tissue from the damaging effects of radiation. Its first compound, AEOL 10150, is being developed for oncology indications, where it is used in combination with radiation therapy. It is also being developed, with funding by the US Government, as a medical countermeasure against chemical and radiological weapons, where its initial target indications are as a protective agent against the effects of acute radiation syndrome and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure. Aeolus' strategy is to leverage the substantial investment in toxicology, manufacturing, and preclinical and clinical studies made by US Government agencies in AEOL 10150, including the contract with BARDA valued, with options, at up to $118.4 million, to efficiently develop the compound for use in oncology.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release that are not purely statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to Aeolus' product candidates, as well as its proprietary technologies and research programs, the Company's potential initiation of large efficacy studies in mice and NHPs, as well as a phase 1 study in healthy normal volunteers, and the BARDA Contract. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Aeolus' actual results to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause results to differ include risks associated with uncertainties of progress and timing of clinical trials, scientific research and product development activities, difficulties or delays in development, testing, obtaining regulatory approval, the need to obtain funding for pre-clinical and clinical trials and operations, the scope and validity of intellectual property protection for Aeolus' product candidates, proprietary technologies and their uses, and competition from other biopharmaceutical companies, and whether BARDA exercises one or more additional options under the BARDA Contract. Certain of these factors and others are more fully described in Aeolus' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, Aeolus' amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2010. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Disclosure under Rule 2.11 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Code”)

LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Further to the announcement made by Geo on 1 February 2012 in connection with its recommended cash offer for GlobeOp, pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Code (the “Offer Announcement”), on 10 February 2012 Geo received additional irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer from members of GlobeOp’s operational management team as set out below, in respect of their beneficial holdings in GlobeOp amounting to, in aggregate, 15,722 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.015 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of GlobeOp (the “Irrevocables”).1

Geo also entered into deeds of adherence to the Share Exchange Agreement on 10 February 2012 with the members of GlobeOp’s operational management team set out below, whereby they agreed to exchange their Ordinary Shares, as set out against their name below, for securities in Geo 1 S.à.r.l., an indirect holding company of Geo (the “Rollover”).2 Together with the Irrevocables, these arrangements relate to, in aggregate, 423,472 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.40 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of GlobeOp.

Pursuant to the Irrevocables, the relevant members of the operational management team have also agreed to accept the Offer in respect of any Ordinary Shares which are issued to them pursuant to the Share Schemes or otherwise, and have agreed that, except with the prior consent of Geo, they will only exercise any rights to acquire Ordinary Shares, pursuant to Share Schemes or otherwise, upon the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects by Geo in accordance with the Code.

In aggregate, Geo has now received irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer, letters of intent and agreements to sell pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement in respect of a total of 38,982,705 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 36.75 per cent of the existing issued share capital of GlobeOp. In addition, Geo owns 5.5 million shares of GlobeOp, equivalent to approximately 5.2% of the current issued share capital of GlobeOp.

* These managers have signed Irrevocables in respect of any Ordinary Shares they receive pursuant to the exercise of rights under the GlobeOp Share Option Schemes or otherwise. They have not signed deeds of adherence to the Share Exchange Agreement.

^ With reference to GlobeOp’s issued share capital as at the date hereof of 106,061,040 Ordinary Shares.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Offer Announcement unless otherwise defined herein.

Morgan Cazenove and is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, is acting exclusively for TPG and Geo and no one else in connection with the recommended cash offer by Geo for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of GlobeOp and this announcement, and will not be responsible to anyone other than TPG and Geo for providing the protections afforded to its clients nor for providing advice in connection with the Offer or any matter referred to herein.

2 The Rollover is subject only to the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional (or in certain circumstances can be completed immediately prior to the Offer becoming or being declared wholly unconditional).
