CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements regarding our or our tenants' or borrowers' expected future financial condition or performance, dividends or dividend plans, business strategies, acquisitions or other investment opportunities, dispositions, continued qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), and plans and objectives of management for future operations, and statements that include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "may," "could," "should," "will" and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
Factors that could cause our actual future results and trends to differ materially from those anticipated are discussed in our filings with the SEC. These factors include, without limitation:
- •
- the ability and willingness of our tenants, borrowers and other counterparties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with us, including, in some cases, their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities;

- •
- our ability and willingness to maintain our qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations;

CCP
We are a self-administered, self-managed REIT with a diversified portfolio of skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") and other healthcare assets operated by private regional and local care providers.

In addition, we originate and manage a small portfolio of secured and unsecured loans, made primarily to our SNF operators and other post-acute care providers.
CCP was incorporated in Delaware on April 2, 2015. Our principal executive offices are located at 191 North Wacker Drive, Suite 1200, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Our telephone number is (312) 881-4700.

Table of Contents
DESCRIPTION OF CCP CAPITAL STOCK
This section describes the general terms and provisions of CCP capital stock. The prospectus supplement relating to any offering of common or preferred stock, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common or preferred stock, will describe more specific terms of the offering of common or preferred stock or other securities, including the number of shares offered, the initial offering price, and any applicable market price and dividend information.
The summary set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to CCP's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and CCP's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), each of which is filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and incorporated by reference herein. You should read the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws for additional information before you purchase any shares of CCP common or preferred stock.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 300 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of August 31, 2016, approximately 84.0 million shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of our preferred stock were issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote, and there are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, distribution or sale of assets, dissolution or winding up of CCP, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive a ratable distribution of our assets remaining after the payment in full of liabilities and any preferential rights of any then outstanding preferred stock.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed thereby and by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series without further action by the holders of our common stock. Our board of directors has the discretion, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and by our Certificate of Incorporation, to determine the designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limits and restrictions, if any, including voting rights, dividend rights, redemption rights, sinking fund or redemption or purchase account privileges, conversion rights, liquidation rights, and priority benefits of each series of preferred stock.

Table of Contents
Annual Election of Directors
At any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election, with directors not receiving a majority of the votes cast required to tender their resignations for consideration by the board, except that in the case of a contested election, the election will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election.
Removal of Directors
Our Bylaws provide that our stockholders may remove our directors with or without cause with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our voting stock, at a special meeting called for this purpose.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire control of CCP by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent directors. These provisions, summarized below, may discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the company to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by CCP's stockholders.
Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our voting stock then outstanding is required to amend the provisions governing restrictions on ownership and transfer described below.
Number of Directors and Vacancies. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the number of directors on our board of directors is fixed exclusively by our board of directors, except that the number of directors cannot be fewer than three or greater than 13. Any vacancies created in our board of directors resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other reason may only be filled by a majority of the board of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum is present, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy on our board of directors will be appointed
7
Table of Contents
for a term expiring at the next annual meeting, and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified.
Special Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws provide that only the Chairman of our board or our board of directors may call special meetings of our stockholders. Stockholders may not call special stockholder meetings.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that action may be taken by stockholders without a meeting upon the written consent of stockholders owning at least 80% of our voting stock then outstanding.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors.
No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Limitations on Ownership and Transfer
Certain requirements must be met for us to maintain our status as a REIT, including the following:
- •
- not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to include certain entities, during the last half of a taxable year other than the first year; and
- •
- our capital stock also must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.
Because we currently believe it is essential for us to maintain our status as a REIT, our Certificate of Incorporation contains certain limitations on the ownership and acquisition of our capital stock intended to ensure compliance with these requirements.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that if a person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 9.0%, in number or value, of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or more than 9.0%, in number or value, of any outstanding class or series of our preferred stock, the shares that are beneficially owned in excess of such limit are considered to be "excess shares." Excess shares are automatically deemed transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable institution or other qualifying organization selected by our board of directors. The trust is entitled to all dividend and liquidation rights with respect to the excess shares and the trustee may exercise all voting power over the excess shares. We have the right to buy the excess shares for a purchase price equal to the lesser of (1) the price per share in the transaction that created the excess shares (or, in the case of a transaction in which no value was given for such excess shares, the market price at the time of such transaction), or (2) the market price on the date we buy the shares, and we may defer payment of the purchase price for up to five years. If we do not purchase the excess shares, the trustee of the trust is required to transfer the excess shares at the direction of our board of directors. The owner of the excess shares is entitled to receive the lesser of the original purchase price paid by the owner for such excess shares (or in the case of a transaction where the proceeds were zero, the market price at the time of such transaction), or the proceeds from the sale of the excess shares received by the trust, and any additional amounts are payable to the beneficiary of the trust. The trustee is under no obligation to obtain the highest possible price for the excess shares. Under certain conditions, our board of directors may grant waivers from the excess share limitations.

Table of Contents
Our Certificate of Incorporation further provides that in the event of a purported transfer that would, if effective, result in us being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons or being considered "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, such transfer would be deemed voidab initio, and the intended transferee would acquire no rights to the shares.
Any certificates representing shares of any class of our capital stock will bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above.
All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the attribution rules of the Code, more than 5%, or such lower percentage as may be required by the Code, of the outstanding number or value of any class or series of our capital stock must give written notice to us containing the information specified in our Certificate of Incorporation before January 30 of each year. In addition, each stockholder shall, upon demand in good faith, be required to disclose to us in writing such information with respect to the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of shares as the board of directors deems necessary to comply with the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation or the Code applicable to a REIT.
The excess shares provision will not be removed automatically even if the REIT provisions of the Code are changed so as to no longer contain any ownership concentration limitation or if the ownership concentration limitation is increased. In addition to preserving our status as a REIT, the ownership limit may have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of CCP without the approval of our board of directors.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without approval of our stockholders. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of CCP by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Limitations on Liability, Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Insurance
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of directors' fiduciary duties as directors, and our Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of current and former directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of CCP, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we may advance expenses incurred by our current and former directors and officers, subject to the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay the advances unless it is ultimately determined that such indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified. Our Certificate of Incorporation expressly authorizes us to carry directors' and officers' insurance to protect CCP, our current and former directors and officers and certain of our employees for some liabilities.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities

laws. In addition, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding against any CCP directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
This section describes the general terms and provisions of the depositary shares that we may offer. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering of depositary shares will describe more specific terms of the depositary shares being offered, including the number of shares offered, the initial offering price and the powers, preferences and other rights of the underlying CCP preferred stock and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those depositary shares.
The summary set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable deposit agreement (including the depositary receipt), the form of which is or will be filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and incorporated by reference herein. You should read the form of deposit agreement (including the depositary receipt) for additional information before you purchase any depositary shares.
General
We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional interests in shares of CCP preferred stock, rather than shares of preferred stock. If we exercise this option, we will appoint a depositary to issue depositary receipts representing those fractional interests. Shares of preferred stock of each series represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and the depositary. The applicable prospectus supplement will provide the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each owner of depositary shares will be entitled to all of the dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, liquidation and other rights and preferences of the shares of preferred stock represented by those depositary shares.
Depositary receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement will evidence ownership of depositary shares. Upon surrender of depositary receipts at the office of the depositary, and upon payment of the charges provided in and subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, a holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the shares of preferred stock underlying the surrendered depositary receipts.
Dividends and Other Distributions
The depositary will be required to distribute all dividends and other cash distributions received in respect of the applicable shares of preferred stock to the record holders of depositary receipts evidencing the related depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary receipts owned by the holders. Fractions will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
If the distribution is other than in cash, the depositary will be required to distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. In that case, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of depositary shares.
Depositary shares that represent shares of preferred stock that have been converted or exchanged will not be entitled to distributions. The deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights we offer to holders of shares of preferred stock will be made available to holders of depositary shares. All distributions will be subject to obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the depositary.

Table of Contents
Withdrawal of Shares of Preferred Stock
A holder may receive the number of whole shares of the applicable series of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by its depositary receipts after surrendering its depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary. Partial shares of preferred stock will not be issued. If the number of depositary shares surrendered exceeds the number of depositary shares that represent the number of whole shares of preferred stock that are subject to the withdrawal, then the depositary will deliver at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. Once a holder has withdrawn shares of preferred stock, it will not be entitled to re-deposit those shares of preferred stock under the deposit agreement in order to receive depositary shares. We do not expect that there will be any public trading market for withdrawn shares of preferred stock.
Redemption of Depositary Shares
If we redeem shares of the applicable series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, the depositary will redeem the depositary shares from the proceeds it receives. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the applicable series of preferred stock, and the redemption date for depositary shares will be the same as that of the preferred stock. If we have elected to redeem less than all of the depositary shares, the depositary will select the depositary shares for redemption by lot or pro rata as the depositary may determine.
After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding. All rights of the holders of the depositary shares and the related depositary receipts will cease at that time, except the right to receive the money or other property to which the holders of depositary shares were entitled upon redemption. Receipt of the money or other property is subject to surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the redeemed depositary shares.
Voting of the Underlying Shares of Preferred Stock
Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable series of preferred stock are entitled to vote, a depositary will be required to mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares representing such preferred stock. Each record holder of depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to how to vote the shares of preferred stock represented by the holder's depositary shares. The record date for the depositary shares will be the same as the record date for the preferred stock. The depositary will vote the shares of preferred stock represented by a holder's depositary shares as such holder instructs. We will agree to take all reasonable action that the depositary deems necessary in order to enable it to vote the preferred stock in that manner. If a holder does not instruct the depositary how to vote, the depositary will abstain from voting the shares of preferred stock represented by such holder's depositary shares. The depositary will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instruction, or for the manner or effect of any vote, as long as its action or inaction is in good faith and does not result from its negligence or willful misconduct.
Liquidation Preference
Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation of CCP, each holder of depositary shares will be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of our preferred stock represented by the depositary shares, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents
Conversion or Exchange of Shares of Preferred Stock
The depositary shares will not themselves be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of CCP common or preferred stock or any other securities or property. Nevertheless, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary receipts may be surrendered by holders to the applicable depositary with written instructions for the depositary to instruct us to cause the conversion of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. Similarly, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may require a holder to surrender all of its depositary receipts to the applicable depositary upon requiring the conversion or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares into debt securities. We will agree that, upon receipt of the instruction and any amounts payable in connection with the conversion or exchange, we will cause the conversion or exchange using the same procedures as those provided for delivery of shares of preferred stock to effect the conversion or exchange. If a holder converts less than all of its depositary shares, the depositary will issue such holder a new depositary receipt for any unconverted depositary shares.
Taxation
An owner of depositary shares will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if it were an owner of the series of CCP preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. Therefore, holders will be required to take into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes income and deductions to which they would be entitled if they were holders of the underlying series of preferred stock. In addition:
- •
- holders will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the withdrawal of shares of preferred stock in exchange for depositary shares provided in the deposit agreement;
- •
- a holder's tax basis in shares of preferred stock received upon exchange of depositary shares will be the same as its aggregate tax basis in the depositary shares so exchanged; and
- •
- if a holder held the depositary shares as a capital asset at the time of the exchange for shares of preferred stock, the holding period for the shares of preferred stock will include the period during which such holder owned the depositary shares.
Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement
We and the applicable depositary will be permitted to amend the provisions of depositary receipts and any deposit agreement. However, the holders of at least a majority of the applicable depositary shares then outstanding must approve any amendment that adds or increases fees or charges or prejudices an important right of holders. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any amendment becomes effective, by continuing to hold the receipt, will be bound by the applicable deposit agreement, as amended.
Any deposit agreement will be terminable by us upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the applicable depositary if (1) the termination is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT or (2) holders of depositary shares representing a majority of each series of preferred stock affected by the termination consent to the termination. If either event occurs, the depositary will be required to deliver or make available to each holder of depositary receipts, upon surrender of the depositary receipts held by the holder, the number of whole or fractional shares of preferred stock that are represented by the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipts, together with any other property held by the depositary with respect to the depositary receipts. In addition, a deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:
- •
- all depositary shares have been redeemed;
13
Table of Contents
- •
- there shall have been a final distribution in respect of the applicable series of preferred stock in connection with a liquidation of CCP and the distribution has been made to the holders of depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares underlying the CCP preferred stock; or
- •
- each share of the applicable series of preferred stock has been converted or exchanged into securities not represented by depositary shares.
Charges of a Depositary
We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of a deposit agreement. In addition, we will pay the fees and expenses of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of preferred stock. However, holders of depositary receipts will pay any transfer or other governmental charges and the fees and expenses of the depositary for any duties the holders request to be performed that are outside those expressly provided for in the applicable deposit agreement.
Resignation and Removal of Depositary
A depositary will be permitted to resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so. In addition, we will be permitted at any time to remove a depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect when we appoint a successor depositary and it accepts the appointment. We will be required to appoint a successor depositary within 60 days after delivery of a notice of resignation or removal. A depositary will be required to be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million.
Miscellaneous
A depositary will be required to forward to holders of depositary receipts any reports and communications it receives from us with respect to the related shares of preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will be able to inspect the transfer books of the depositary and the list of holders of depositary receipts upon reasonable notice.
Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if the depositary is prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations under a deposit agreement by law or any circumstances beyond its control. Our obligations and those of the depositary under a deposit agreement will be limited to performing duties in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary receipts, depositary shares or related shares of preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and each depositary will be permitted to rely on written advice of counsel or accountants, on information provided by persons presenting shares of preferred stock for deposit, by holders of depositary receipts, or by other persons believed in good faith to be competent to give the information, and on documents believed in good faith to be genuine and signed by a proper party.
If a depositary receives conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any holder of depositary receipts, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, the depositary will be entitled to act on the claims, requests or instructions received from us.

DESCRIPTION OF CARE CAPITAL LP DEBT SECURITIES
This section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that Care Capital LP may offer. For purposes hereof, references to the "issuer" means Care Capital LP. The prospectus supplement relating to any offering of debt securities will describe more specific terms of the debt securities being offered, including the designation of the series, the aggregate principal amount being offered, the initial offering price, the interest rate, any redemption, purchase or conversion rights and any general terms described in this section that will not apply to those debt securities.
The debt securities will be direct unsecured general obligations of the issuer and may include debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness. The debt securities may be senior or subordinated and will be issued under one or more indentures among the issuer, the guarantors, if any, named therein, and Regions Bank, as the initial trustee, which we refer to herein as base indentures. The base indentures will not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder.
Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior indenture, in one or more series established pursuant to a supplemental indenture or a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors or similar governing body of CCP or the general partner of the issuer, on behalf of the issuer, or a duly authorized committee thereof. Subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated indenture, in one or more series established pursuant to a supplemental indenture or a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors or similar governing body of CCP or the general partner of the issuer, on behalf of the issuer, or a duly authorized committee thereof. In this prospectus, we refer to the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture (together with each applicable supplemental indenture or resolution establishing the applicable series of debt securities), collectively, as the indentures. The indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").
The summary set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable base indenture referred to below and the supplemental indenture (including the form of debt security) relating to the applicable series of debt securities, the form of each of which is or will be filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and incorporated by reference herein. You should read the applicable base indenture and supplemental indenture (including the applicable form of debt security) for additional information before you purchase any debt securities of the issuer.
General
Each indenture will provide that there may be more than one trustee with respect to one or more series of debt securities under that indenture. Any trustee under an indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities issued under that indenture, and a successor trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series.
If two or more persons are acting as trustee with respect to different series of debt securities issued under the same indenture, each of the trustees will be a trustee of a trust under that indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee. In that case, except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, any action described in this prospectus to be taken by the trustee may be taken by a trustee only with respect to the one or more series of debt securities for which it is trustee.
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of each series of debt securities being offered, including some or all of the following:

Table of Contents
Debt securities may be issued as original issue discount securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from their stated principal amount. Special U.S. federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to original issue discount securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of debt securities, the debt securities will be issued only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
Certificated Debt Securities
Except as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities will not be issued in certificated form. If, however, debt securities are to be issued in certificated form, no service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of any of those debt securities, but the issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Book-Entry Debt Securities
The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with the depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement, which will keep a computerized record of its participants (for example, brokers) whose clients have purchased the debt securities. Each participant will then keep a record of its clients who purchased the debt securities. Unless a global security is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in certificated form, it may not be transferred. However, transfers of the whole security between the depositary for that global security and its nominees or their respective successors are permitted.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") will act as depositary for each series of global securities, and DTC will register the global securities in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in global securities will be shown on, and transfers of global securities will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants.
DTC has provided the following information to us. DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a:
- •
- limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;
- •
- "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;
- •
- member of the Federal Reserve System;
- •
- "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
- •
- "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and
18
Table of Contents
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its direct and indirect participants are on file with the SEC.
Principal and interest payments on global securities registered in the name of DTC's nominee will be made in immediately available funds to DTC's nominee as the registered owner of the global securities. The issuer and the trustee will treat DTC's nominee as the owner of the global securities for all other purposes as well. Accordingly, the issuer, the trustee and any paying agent will have no direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due on the global securities to owners of beneficial interests in the global securities. DTC's practice is to credit direct participants' accounts upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings of beneficial interests in the global securities as shown on DTC's records. Payments by direct and indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global securities will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices. These payments will be the responsibility of the direct and indirect participants and not of DTC, the trustee or the issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Debt securities represented by a global security will be exchangeable for debt securities in definitive form of like amount and terms in authorized denominations only if:
- •
- DTC notifies the issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary;
- •
- DTC ceases to be a registered clearing agency and a successor depositary is not appointed by the issuer within 120 days; or
- •
- the issuer determines not to require all of the debt securities of a series to be represented by a global security and notifies the applicable trustee of its decision.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
Merger Covenant
Pursuant to the terms of each indenture, the issuer may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another person or entity, or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease (other than to an unaffiliated operator in the ordinary course of business) or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another person or entity, unless:

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Care Capital LP in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the successor person or entity formed by such consolidation or into which Care Capital LP is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition is made, will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Care Capital LP under the applicable indenture with the same effect as if such successor initially had been named as Care Capital LP therein. When a successor assumes all of the obligations of its predecessor under the applicable indenture and the applicable debt securities following a consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the predecessor in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.
This covenant will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among Care Capital LP and its subsidiaries.
Assumption of the Issuer's Obligations
Any guarantor or subsidiary thereof that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, may directly assume, pursuant to a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the applicable trustee in a form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the debt securities of any series and the performance of every covenant of the applicable indenture to be performed or observed by the issuer. Upon any such assumption, such guarantor or subsidiary thereof shall succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of, the issuer under the applicable indenture with the same effect as if the guarantor or subsidiary thereof had been named as the issuer under such indenture and the issuer will be released from liability as obligor on such debt securities.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Each indenture provides that the following are events of default with respect to any series of debt securities issued thereunder, unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise:
- •
- default by the issuer for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any debt security of that series;
- •
- default by the issuer in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, on any debt security of that series when due and payable;
- •
- default by the issuer in the making of any sinking fund payment required for any debt security of that series when due;
- •
- breach by the issuer or any guarantor of any other term of that indenture for 60 days after receipt of notice of default stating it is in breach (either the applicable trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable debt securities of that series then outstanding may send the notice);
- •
- default under any other indebtedness of the issuer or its significant subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $50.0 million after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness and where that indebtedness is not discharged or that acceleration is not cured, rescinded or annulled within 30 days after receipt of written notice specifying the default (either the applicable trustee or the
20
Table of Contents
The applicable trustee will be required to give notice to the holders of the applicable debt securities within 90 days after the trustee has knowledge of a default under the applicable indenture unless the default has been cured or waived. The applicable trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the applicable debt securities of any default, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or additional amounts, if any, or interest on the applicable debt securities, if specified responsible officers of the applicable trustee in good faith determine that withholding the notice is in the interest of the holders.
If an event of default with respect to the applicable debt securities has occurred and has not been cured, either the applicable trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the applicable debt securities then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of the applicable debt securities to be due and immediately payable by written notice to the issuer and the applicable trustee. If an event of default occurs because of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount of all applicable debt securities then outstanding will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the applicable trustee or any holder. At any time after the applicable trustee or the holders have accelerated the applicable debt securities, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the applicable debt securities then outstanding may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration.
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series may, subject to some limitations, waive an existing default with respect to that series and the consequences of the default (including, without limitation, waivers obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such debt securities). The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are original issue discount securities will describe the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of those original issue discount securities upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default.
Except in cases of default, where a trustee has some special duties, the applicable trustee is not required to take any action under the applicable indenture at the request of any holders of applicable debt securities unless such holders offer the applicable trustee satisfactory protection from expenses and liability. We refer to this as an "indemnity." If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the applicable debt securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the applicable trustee. These majority holders may also direct the applicable trustee in performing any other action under the applicable indenture, subject to certain limitations.
21
Table of Contents
Before a holder bypasses the applicable trustee and brings its own lawsuit or other formal legal action or takes other steps to enforce its rights or protect its interests relating to the applicable debt securities, the following must occur:
- (1)
- the holder must give the applicable trustee written notice that an event of default with respect to the applicable debt securities has occurred and remains uncured;
- (2)
- the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the applicable debt securities then outstanding must make a written request that the applicable trustee take action because of the default, and must offer reasonable indemnity to the applicable trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action;
- (3)
- the applicable trustee must have not taken action for 60 days after receipt of the notice and offer of indemnity; and
- (4)
- the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the applicable debt securities then outstanding must not have given the applicable trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
However, a holder is entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on any debt security after its due date.
Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, the issuer and the guarantors, if any, will furnish to the applicable trustee a written statement by certain of the issuer's officers certifying that, to their knowledge, the issuer is in compliance with the applicable indenture and the applicable debt securities, or otherwise specifying any default.
Modification of the Indentures
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, each indenture and/or the applicable debt securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding issued under the applicable indenture affected by such amendment or supplement, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such debt securities), and compliance with any provision of the applicable indenture or the applicable debt securities may be waived with the consent of the holders of not less than of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding issued under the applicable indenture affected thereby, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the applicable debt securities).
Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any debt securities held by a non-consenting holder):
- •
- reduce the principal amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
- •
- reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of such debt security;
- •
- reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any debt security, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity of such security;
- •
- reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of its maturity;
22
Table of Contents
- •
- waive a default or event of default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or additional amounts, if any, on the debt securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding affected thereby and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
- •
- make a debt security payable in a currency other than the currency stated in that debt security;
- •
- make any change in the provisions of the applicable indenture relating to waivers of defaults or the rights of holders of debt securities to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, or additional amounts, if any, on the debt securities;
- •
- release any guarantor from any of its obligations under its guarantee of the debt securities or under the applicable indenture except in accordance with the terms of that indenture;
- •
- impair the rights of holders of the debt securities to convert or exchange their securities, if applicable, upon the terms established pursuant to or in accordance with the provisions of the applicable indenture; or
- •
- make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions set forth above.
Any such consent need only approve the substance, rather than the particular form, of the proposed amendment or waiver.
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of debt securities, each indenture and the applicable debt securities issued thereunder may be amended or supplemented to:
- •
- cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
- •
- provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;
- •
- provide for the assumption of the obligations of the issuer to holders of debt securities in the case of a merger or consolidation of the issuer or a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
- •
- add additional guarantees with respect to the applicable debt securities;
- •
- secure the applicable debt securities;
- •
- evidence the succession of another entity to the issuer and the assumption by the successor of the covenants of the issuer contained in the applicable indenture;
- •
- add any additional events of default for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of applicable debt securities (and if such events of default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of applicable debt securities, stating that such events of default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of the debt securities of that series);
- •
- change or eliminate any of the provisions of the applicable indenture,provided that any such change or elimination will become effective only when there are no debt securities outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that are entitled to the benefit of such provision;
- •
- establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series as permitted by the applicable indenture, including the provisions and procedures relating to debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for CCP common or preferred stock;
- •
- evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee with respect to the applicable debt securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the

Table of Contents
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
When the issuer establishes a series of debt securities, it may provide that the debt securities of that series are subject to the defeasance and discharge provisions of the applicable indenture. If those provisions are made applicable, the issuer may elect either:
- •
- to defease and, together with the guarantors, if any, be legally released from, subject to some limitations, all of their respective obligations with respect to the debt securities of that series; or
- •
- to be released from the obligations to comply with specified covenants and eliminate certain events of default relating to the debt securities of that series as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
To effect defeasance or covenant defeasance, the issuer must irrevocably deposit in trust with the applicable trustee an amount in any combination of funds or government obligations, which, through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms, will provide money sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent accountants, to make payments on the debt securities of that series and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments on the debt securities of that series.
Upon defeasance, the issuer will not be released from obligations:
- •
- to pay additional amounts, if any, on the debt securities of that series upon the occurrence of some events;
- •
- to register the transfer or exchange of the debt securities of that series;
- •
- to replace some of the debt securities of that series;
- •
- to maintain an office relating to the debt securities of that series; or
- •
- to hold moneys for payment in trust.
To establish such a trust, the issuer must, among other things, deliver to the applicable trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series:
- •
- will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance; and
- •
- will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.
24
Table of Contents
In the case of defeasance, the opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law occurring after the date of the applicable indenture.
Government obligations generally mean securities that are:
- •
- direct obligations of the United States or of the government that issued the foreign currency in which the applicable debt securities are payable, in each case, where the issuer has pledged its full faith and credit to pay the obligations; or
- •
- obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States or of the government that issued the foreign currency in which the applicable debt securities are payable, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States or that other government.
In any case, the issuer of government obligations cannot have the option to call or redeem the obligations. In addition, government obligations include, subject to certain qualifications, a depositary receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any government obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such government obligation held by the custodian for the account of a depositary receipt holder; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian will not be authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the government obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the government obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.
If the issuer effects covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series, the amount on deposit with the applicable trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity. However, the debt securities of that series may become due and payable prior to their stated maturity if there is an event of default with respect to a covenant from which the issuer has not been released. In that event, the amount on deposit may not be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration and the holders of those debt securities will be required to look to the issuer and the guarantors, if any, for repayment of any shortfall.
The applicable prospectus supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above.
Ranking
Each series of senior debt securities will constitute senior indebtedness of the issuer and the guarantors, if any, and will rank equally with each other series of senior debt securities and other senior indebtedness of the issuer and such guarantors and senior to all subordinated indebtedness of the issuer and such guarantors, including, but not limited to, all subordinated debt securities. Each series of subordinated debt securities will constitute subordinated indebtedness of the issuer and guarantors, if any, and will rank equally with each other series of subordinated debt securities of the issuer and such guarantors, but subordinate to all senior indebtedness of the issuer and such guarantors.
Payments on the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated to the senior indebtedness of the issuer and the guarantors, if any, described under "Guarantees" below, whether outstanding on the date of the subordinated indenture or incurred after that date. At June 30, 2016, Care Capital LP had $1.4 billion of outstanding senior indebtedness (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs). The prospectus supplement relating to each issuance of subordinated debt securities will specify the aggregate amount of the issuer's outstanding indebtedness as of the most recent practicable date that would rank senior to the subordinated debt securities.
25
Table of Contents
If any of the following events occur, the holders of senior indebtedness must receive payment of the full amount due on the senior indebtedness, or that payment must be duly provided for, before the issuer may make payments on the subordinated debt securities:
- •
- any distribution of the issuer's assets upon its liquidation, reorganization or other similar transaction except for a distribution in connection with a merger or other transaction complying with the covenant described above under "—Merger Covenant";
- •
- the occurrence and continuation of a payment default on any senior indebtedness; or
- •
- a declaration of the principal of any series of subordinated debt securities, or, in the case of original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount specified under their terms, as due and payable, that has not been rescinded and annulled.
However, if the event is the acceleration of any series of subordinated debt securities, only the holders of senior indebtedness outstanding at the time of the acceleration of those subordinated debt securities, or, in the case of original issue discount securities, that portion of the principal amount specified under their terms, must receive payment of the full amount due on that senior indebtedness, or such payment must be duly provided for, before the issuer makes payments on the subordinated debt securities.
As a result of the subordination provisions, some of the issuer's general creditors, including holders of senior indebtedness, may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the subordinated debt securities in the event of insolvency.
For purposes of the subordinated indenture, "senior indebtedness" of the issuer and any guarantor means the following indebtedness and obligations:
- •
- the principal of and premium, if any, and unpaid interest on indebtedness for money borrowed;
- •
- purchase money and similar obligations;
- •
- obligations under capital leases;
- •
- guarantees, assumptions or purchase commitments relating to, or other transactions as a result of which the issuer or such guarantor, as applicable, is responsible for the payment of, the indebtedness of others;
- •
- renewals, extensions and refundings of the foregoing indebtedness;
- •
- interest or obligations in respect of the foregoing indebtedness accruing after the commencement of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; and
- •
- obligations associated with derivative products.
However, indebtedness and obligations do not constitute senior indebtedness if the instrument by which the issuer or any guarantor becomes obligated for that indebtedness or those obligations expressly provides that indebtedness or those obligations are junior in right of payment to any other indebtedness or obligations of the issuer or such guarantor, as applicable.
Exchangeable Debt Securities
If the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities provides that those debt securities will be exchangeable for shares of CCP common or preferred stock, then we will describe the specific terms on which the securities are so exchangeable.
26
Table of Contents
Guarantees
If the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities provides that those debt securities will have the benefit of a guarantee by one or both of CCP and Care Capital GP, then the debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CCP and/or Care Capital GP, as applicable. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any subsidiary of the issuer, the subsidiary will pay the holders of its debt and its trade creditors before it will be able to distribute any of its assets to the issuer. The guarantees will be general obligations of each guarantor. If a series of debt securities is so guaranteed, a supplemental indenture to the applicable base indenture will be executed by each guarantor.
The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. A guarantor may not consolidate or merge with or into, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, another person or entity, other than the issuer or another guarantor, unless the person or entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger or the person or entity acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or disposition assumes all of the obligations of that guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the applicable trustee, and only if immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default under the applicable indenture would exist. Nothing contained in the indentures or in any of the securities of any series will prohibit CCP or Care Capital GP from consolidating or merging with or into Care Capital LP or selling and/or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to Care Capital LP, nor shall the foregoing apply to any transaction in which Care Capital LP, CCP or Care Capital GP consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to an affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing Care Capital LP, CCP or Care Capital GP, as applicable, in another jurisdiction within the United States or changing its legal structure. The obligations of CCP or Care Capital GP under an indenture will terminate at such time as such guarantor merges or consolidates with Care Capital LP or at such other time as Care Capital LP acquires all of the assets and equity interests of such guarantor.
The terms of any guarantee and the additional conditions upon which a guarantor may be released from its obligations under that guarantee will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the offered securities in and outside the United States (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) directly to purchasers, including to a limited number of institutional purchasers, to a single purchaser or to our affiliates and stockholders, (3) through agents or (4) through a combination of any of these methods. The prospectus supplement relating to any offering will set forth the following information:
- •
- the terms of the offering;
- •
- the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;
- •
- the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
- •
- the purchase price or initial public offering price of the securities;
- •
- the net proceeds from the sale of the securities and the intended use thereof;
- •
- any delayed delivery arrangements;
- •
- any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters' compensation;
- •
- any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
- •
- any commissions paid to agents.
Sale through Underwriters or Dealers
If any securities are offered through underwriters, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell them from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer and sell securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and dealers may receive compensation from the underwriters in the form of discounts or concessions. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
In order to facilitate the offering of securities, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. Specifically, the underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the securities for their account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, securities in the open market. Finally, an underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered securities above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may discontinue any of these activities at any time.
Some or all of the offered securities may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at
28
Table of Contents
any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any offered securities.
If any securities are offered through dealers, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities directly to purchasers. If the securities are sold directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities, we will describe the terms of any such sales in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also sell the securities through agents designated from time to time. Sales may be made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions and such other transactions as agreed by us and any agent. In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
At the Market Offerings
We may also sell the securities in "at the market offerings" within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise.
Remarketing Arrangements
Offered securities may also be offered and sold, if we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters of the offered securities under the Securities Act.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified future date. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the conditions to those contracts and the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
General Information
We may have agreements with the agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make. Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Care Capital Properties, Inc.
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of directors' fiduciary duties as directors, and our Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of current and former directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of CCP, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we may advance expenses incurred by our current and former directors and officers, subject to the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay the advances unless it is ultimately determined that such indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified. Our Certificate of Incorporation expressly authorizes us to carry directors' and officers' insurance to protect CCP, our current and former directors and officers and certain of our employees for some liabilities.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding against any CCP directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Section 8(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Care Capital Properties, LP (the "Partnership Agreement") provides that Care Capital GP and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, trustees and agents shall not be liable to any other partner or Care Capital LP for honest mistakes of judgment, or for action or inaction taken in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Care Capital LP, or for losses, damages or claims due to such mistakes, action or inaction, or for the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent of Care Capital LP, unless a court of competent jurisdiction has made a final determination that such employee, broker or agent was not selected, engaged or retained and supervised with reasonable care. Section 8(a) of the Partnership Agreement also permits Care Capital GP and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, trustees and agents to consult with counsel and accountants in respect of Care Capital LP's affairs and fully protects and justifies such persons in any action or inaction that such persons take in reliance in good faith upon the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants as to matters such persons reasonably believe to be within such counsel's or accountant's professional or expert competence.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea ofnolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Care Capital LP and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

Item 17. Undertakings
- (a)
- The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
- (1)
- To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
- (i)
- To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
- (ii)
- To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
- (iii)
- To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
- (2)
- That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
- (3)
- To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
- (4)
- That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
- (i)
- Each prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
- (ii)
- Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the
II-5
Table of Contents
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
- (5)
- That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be sellers to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
- (i)
- Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
- (ii)
- Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
- (iii)
- The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and
- (iv)
- Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.
- (b)
- The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the annual reports of CCP pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
- (c)
- Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it or them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
