At closing, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership acquired from Steward and its affiliates all of their interests in the real estate of five acute care hospitals for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $600 million. Each of the facilities acquired were simultaneously leased back to Steward under a master lease agreement. In addition, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership made mortgage loans to Steward in an aggregate further amount of $600 million, secured by first mortgages in four Steward acute care hospitals. The real estate master lease and mortgage loans have substantially similar 15-year terms with three 5-year extension options, plus annual inflation protected escalators.

In conjunction with the real estate and mortgage loans transactions, the Company also invested $50 million in newly issued preferred interests in Steward, representing a 4.9% economic interest in Steward. The Company has no management authority or control of Steward except for certain protective rights consistent with a minority passive ownership interest, such as a limited right to approve certain extraordinary transactions.
