Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 9, 2013, American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its initial public offering is anticipated to close to new investments this week when the Company will have successfully completed its target equity raise of $1.75 billion (including shares reallocated from the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”)), perhaps earlier than the originally anticipated April 12, 2013 closing date. As of April 8, 2013, the Company had raised $1.4 billion in its primary offering (including shares reallocated from its DRIP). Accordingly, the Company’s dealer manager, Realty Capital Securities, LLC, has notified the Company’s selling group that subscription agreements received after the time at which the Company’s transfer agent receives the maximum amount of shares offered in the primary offering (including shares reallocated from the Company’s DRIP) will likely be returned and will be processed only if shares are available for issuance. Additionally, subscription agreements received prior to the time that the Company sells all of the shares in its primary offering, but not in good order, or those that require additional information or funding, will be subject to review and will be processed only if shares are available. Any subscriptions that the Company is unable to accept will be promptly returned. In light of the foregoing, the Company asks that financial advisors not submit any additional subscriptions for the Company’s shares following this week.
