The Revolving Credit Facilities mature on February 2, 2020. Interest accrues at a per annum rate equal to either (x) a base rate (calculated as the highest of the (i) prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 3.00%, or (iii) LIBOR plus the excess of the applicable margin between LIBOR loans and base rate loans) plus an applicable margin or (y) LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the level of commitments for all four tranches, and in regards to LIBOR loans (i) for Tranche A-1 ranges from 3.00% to 3.50%; (ii) for Tranche A-2 ranges from 3.00% to 3.50%; (iii) for FILO Tranche is 6.00%, and (iv) for HUD Tranche ranges from 2.50% to 3.00%. The applicable margin is based on the level of commitments for all four tranches, and in regards to base rate loans (i) for Tranche A-1 ranges from 2.00% to 2.50%; (ii) for Tranche A-2 ranges from 2.00% to 2.50%; (iii) for FILO Tranche is 5.00%; and (iv) for HUD Tranche ranges from 1.50% to 2.00%. Borrowing levels under the Revolving Credit Facilities are limited to a borrowing base that is computed based upon the level of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, as defined therein. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders for any unutilized commitments. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.375% per annum to 0.50% depending upon the level of unused commitment. The Revolving Credit Facilities contain financial, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are substantially identical to those of the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below), but also contain a minimum liquidity covenant and a springing minimum fixed charge coverage covenant tied to the minimum liquidity requirement. The most restrictive financial covenant is the maximum leverage ratio which requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio, as defined, of no more than 6.0 to 1.0 through March of 2017 and stepping down gradually over the course of the loan to 4.0 to 1.0 beginning in 2020. Borrowings and interest rates under the four tranches were as follows at March 31, 2017: Weighted Average Revolving Credit Facilities Commitment Borrowings Interest FILO tranche $ 18,750 $ 18,750 7.65 % Tranche A-1 440,000 278,000 4.75 % Tranche A-2 50,000 41,300 4.44 % HUD tranche 35,000 30,800 4.36 % $ 543,750 $ 368,850 4.83 % As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a total borrowing base capacity of $501.5 million with outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities of $368.9 million and $59.8 million of drawn letters of credit securing insurance and lease obligations, leaving the Company with approximately $72.8 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facilities. Term Loan Agreement The Company and certain of its affiliates, including FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC (the Borrower) are party to a four-year term loan agreement (the Term Loan Agreement) with an affiliate of Welltower Inc. (Welltower) and an affiliate of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (Omega). The Term Loan Agreement provides for term loans (the Term Loans) in the aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million, with scheduled annual amortization of 2.5% of the initial principal balance in years one, two and three, and 5.0% in year four. The Term Loan Agreement has a maturity date of July 29, 2020. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to a base rate (subject to a floor of 1.00%) or an ABR rate (subject to a floor of 2.0%), plus in each case a specified applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for base rate loans is 13.0% per annum and the initial applicable margin for ABR rate loans is 12.0% per annum. At the Company’s election, with respect to either base rate or ABR rate loans, up to 2.0% of the interest may be paid either in cash or paid-in-kind. As of March 31, 2017, the Term Loans had an outstanding principal balance of $119.9 million. The Term Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on the equity interests of the subsidiaries of the Company and the Borrower as well as certain other assets of the Company, the Borrower and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Term Loan Agreement is also secured by a junior lien on the assets that secure the Revolving Credit Facilities, as amended, on a first priority basis. Welltower and Omega, or their respective affiliates, are each currently landlords under certain master lease agreements to which the Company and/or its affiliates are tenants. The Term Loan Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type. Financial covenants include four maintenance covenants which require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures. The most restrictive financial covenant is the maximum leverage ratio which requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio, as defined therein, of no more than 6.0 to 1.0 through March of 2017 and stepping down gradually over the course of the loan to 4.0 to 1.0 beginning in 2020. Real Estate Bridge Loans The Company is party to four separate bridge loan agreements with Welltower (Welltower Bridge Loans). The Welltower Bridge Loans have an effective date of October 1, 2016 and are the result of the combination of two real estate bridge loans executed in 2015 upon the Company’s separate acquisitions of the real property of 87 skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The Welltower Bridge Loans are subject to payments of interest only during the term with a balloon payment due at maturity, provided, that to the extent the subsidiaries receive any net proceeds from the sale and/or refinance of the underlying facilities such net proceeds are required to be used to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Welltower Bridge Loans. Each Welltower Bridge Loan has a maturity date of January 1, 2022 and a 10.0% interest rate that increases annually by 0.25% beginning January 1, 2018. The Welltower Bridge Loans are secured by a mortgage lien on the real property of the 45 facilities and a second lien on certain receivables of the operators of 27 of the facilities. The Welltower Bridge Loans have an outstanding principal balance of $317.0 million at March 31, 2017. One of the Welltower Bridge Loans includes the debt associated with three skilled nursing facilities that have been reclassified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This Welltower Bridge Loan has a principal balance of $9.0 million. See Note 13 – “Assets Held for Sale.” On April 1, 2016, the Company acquired one skilled nursing facility and entered into a $9.9 million real estate bridge loan (the Other Real Estate Bridge Loan). The Other Real Estate Bridge Loans has a term of three years and accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 4.00%. The Other Real Estate Bridge Loan bore interest of 5.00% at March 31, 2017. The Other Real Estate Bridge Loan is subject to payments of interest only during the term with a balloon payment due at maturity, provided, that to the extent the subsidiaries receive any net proceeds from the sale and/or refinance of the underlying facilities such net proceeds are required to be used to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Other Real Estate Bridge Loan. The Other Real Estate Bridge Loan has an outstanding principal balance of $9.9 million at March 31, 2017. HUD Insured Loans As of March 31, 2017 the Company has 39 skilled nursing facility loans insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a combined aggregate principal balance of $308.4 million, which includes a $13.9 million debt premium on 10 skilled nursing facility loans established in purchase accounting in connection with the Combination. Of the 39 HUD insured skilled nursing facilities, 13 have been reclassified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These 13 skilled nursing facilities have an aggregate principal balance of $63.1 million. See Note 13 – “Assets Held for Sale.” The HUD insured loans have an original amortization term of 30 to 35 years and an average remaining term of 31 years with fixed interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 4.6% and a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. Depending on the mortgage agreement, prepayments are generally allowed only after 12 months from the inception of the mortgage. Prepayments are subject to a penalty of 10% of the remaining principal balances in the first year and the prepayment penalty decreases each subsequent year by 1% until no penalty is required thereafter. Any further HUD insured loans will require additional HUD approval. All HUD insured loans are non-recourse loans to the Company. All loans are subject to HUD regulatory agreements that require escrow reserve funds to be deposited with the loan servicer for mortgage insurance premiums, property taxes, insurance and for capital replacement expenditures. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has total escrow reserve funds of $22.0 million with the loan servicer that are reported within prepaid expenses. Notes Payable In connection with Welltower’s sale of 64 skilled nursing facilities to Second Spring Healthcare Investments (Second Spring) on November 1, 2016, the Company issued a note totaling $51.2 million to Welltower. The note accrues cash interest at 3% and paid-in-kind interest at 7%. Cash interest is paid and paid-in-kind interest accretes the principal amount semi-annually every May 1 and November 1. The note matures on October 30, 2020. The note has an outstanding accreted balance of $51.2 million at March 31, 2017. In connection with Welltower’s sale of 28 skilled nursing facilities to Cindat Best Years Welltower JV LLC (CBYW) on December 23, 2016, the Company issued two notes totaling $23.7 million to Welltower. The first note has an initial principal balance of $11.7 million and accrues cash interest at 3% and paid-in-kind interest at 7%. Cash interest is paid and paid-in-kind interest accretes the principal amount semi-annually every June 15 and December 15. The note matures on December 15, 2021. The note has an outstanding accreted principal balance of $11.7 million at March 31, 2017. The second note has an initial principal balance of $12.0 million and accrues cash interest at 3% and paid-in-kind interest at 3%. Cash interest is paid and paid-in-kind interest accretes the principal amount semi-annually every June 15 and December 15. From the second anniversary up to the day before the note matures, CBYW can convert all or any portion of the note into fully paid shares of common stock at the conversion rate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock per the full accreted principal amount of the note. The note matures on December 15, 2021. The note has an outstanding accreted principal balance of $12.0 million at March 31, 2017. Other Debt Mortgages and other secured debt (recourse). The Company carries mortgage loans and notes payable on certain of its corporate office buildings and other acquired assets. The loans are secured by the underlying real property and have fixed or variable rates of interest ranging from 2.7% to 6.0% at March 31, 2017, with maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2020. Mortgages and other secured debt (non-recourse). Loans are carried by certain of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures. The loans consist principally of revenue bonds and secured bank loans. Loans are secured by the underlying real and personal property of individual facilities and have fixed or variable rates of interest ranging from 2.5% to 22.2% with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%, at March 31, 2017. Maturity dates range from 2018 to 2034. Loans are labeled “ non-recourse” because neither the Company nor any of its wholly owned subsidiaries is obligated to perform under the respective loan agreements. The aggregate principal balance of these loans includes a $1.7 million debt premium on one debt instrument. The Company’s consolidated current installment of long-term debt increased $11.5 million due to the reclassification of a non-recourse loan of $11.5 million, which has a maturity date of March 27, 2018. Debt Covenants The Revolving Credit Facilities, the Term Loan Agreement and the Welltower Bridge Loans (collectively, the Credit Facilities) each contain a number of financial, affirmative and negative covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tied to minimum liquidity and maximum capital expenditures. At March 31, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facilities with the exception of the maximum leverage covenant. Effective May 5, 2017, the Company entered into amended agreements with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities, the Term Loan Agreement and the Welltower Bridge Loans. With respect to the Term Loan Agreement and the Welltower Bridge Loans, these amendments provided waivers for the breach at March 31, 2017 of the maximum leverage covenant. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities, the maximum leverage covenant was amended effective March 31, 2017 resulting in the Company’s compliance with that covenant. The amendments to the Credit Facilities also amended all the prospective financial covenant levels effective May 5, 2017. The most restrictive financial covenant, as amended, is the maximum leverage covenant ratio which requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio, as defined therein, of no more than 7.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2017 and stepping down gradually over the course of the loans to 6.5 to 1.0 beginning in 2020. The Company’s ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants depends in part on management’s ability to increase revenue and control costs. Should the Company fail to comply with its debt covenants at a future measurement date, it could, absent necessary and timely waivers and/or amendments, be in default under certain of its existing credit agreements. To the extent any cross-default provisions may apply, the default could have an even more significant impact on the Company’s financial position. Although the Company is in compliance and projects to be in compliance with its material debt covenants through June 30, 2018, at a minimum, the ongoing uncertainty related to the impact of healthcare reform initiatives may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its covenants. Such uncertainty includes changes in reimbursement patterns, patient admission patterns, bundled payment arrangements, as well as potential changes to the Affordable Care Act currently being considered in Congress, among others. There can be no assurance that the confluence of these and other factors will not impede the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenants in the future. Management has considered these factors and has devised certain strategies that would be implemented to address the ramifications of these uncertainties. Such strategies include, but are not limited to, cost containment measures and possible divestitures of less profitable facilities. The maturity of total debt of $1,225.4 million, including debt classified as assets held for sale and excluding debt issuance costs and other non-cash debt discounts and premiums, at March 31, 2017 is as follows (in thousands): Twelve months ended March 31, 2018 $ 37,797 2019 17,326 2020 369,912 2021 175,089 2022 347,661 Thereafter 277,607 Total debt maturity $ 1,225,392 |
