Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On May 4, 2005, we issued a press release, which sets forth our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 3, 2005, we acquired JER Senior Housing, LLC’s (“JER”) 75% interest in our joint venture, JER/NHP Senior Housing, LLC for approximately $121,000,000. As part of this transaction, we assumed JER’s share of the secured debt the joint venture had in place of approximately $45,000,000, resulting in a payment to JER of approximately $75,000,000, net of other costs and fees related to buying out their interest of approximately $1,000,000. As a result of this acquisition, we now own 100% of the 46 assisted living facilities leased to Alterra Healthcare Corporation under two cross-defaulted master leases with initial terms expiring in 2020. From the transaction date forward, the operations of JER/NHP Senior Housing, LLC will be consolidated with our other operations. A copy of the Notice of Option to Exercise Purchase Option Right Letter from Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. to JER Senior Housing, LLC, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
