The Company reported the Refinancing on its Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 19, 1996 (the "Form 8-K"). Item 2 of the Form 8-K is hereby revised in its entirety and Item 7 of the Form 8-K is hereby revised and supplemented to include certain pro forma financial information with respect to the Refinancing. Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. - ------ ------------------------------------ On March 19, 1996, Emeritus Corporation (the "Company") completed $58 million in sale/leaseback financing with a healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT). The financing included nine assisted-living communities, six operating communities of which were previously owned by the Company, one development community of which was previously owned by the Company and two new developments. Construction is expected to commence on the two new developments in the second quarter of 1996. The $58 million transaction aggregated approximately 900 assisted- living units in four states. The six operating communities and one development community previously owned were subject to mortgage indebtedness of approximately $26.1 million which was repaid upon closing. Pursuant to the sale/leaseback the Company entered into operating leases on all seven communities. Each of such leases has a term of eleven years with an option to extend the lease for four additional periods of five years each. Rent for the six previously owned operating communities and one previously owned development community consists of base rent, which the Company expects will equal an annual aggregate of approximately $3.5 million and $526,000, respectively, plus additional rent, the calculation of which is based on the revenue of each respective property. Such additional rent shall be payable commencing during the third year of the lease term. The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the leases which are filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference. 1 Item 7.
