5. DISPOSITIONS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

Disposition of Boca Raton, Florida Community

Effective January 15, 2020, the Company’s leased senior living community located in Boca Raton, Florida transitioned to a new operator.  In conjunction with the transition, the Company paid the lessor, Healthpeak, a one-time $0.3 million termination payment as a prepayment against the remaining lease payments and was relieved of any additional obligation to Healthpeak with regard to that property and the lease was terminated as to this property.  The Company recorded an approximate $1.8 million gain on the transaction, which is included in gain on facility lease modification and termination, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Disposition of Merrillville, Indiana Community

Effective March 31, 2020, the Company sold one community located in Merrillville, Indiana for a total purchase price of $7.0 million and received approximately $6.9 million in cash proceeds after paying customary closing costs.  The community was unencumbered by any mortgage debt.  The Company recognized a loss of $7.4 million on the disposition, which is included in loss on disposition of assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The community was comprised of 171 assisted living units and 42 memory care units.

Early Termination of Master Lease Agreements

As of December 31, 2019, the Company leased 46 senior housing communities from certain real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and transitioned one community to a different operator effective January 15, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into agreements, which restructured or terminated certain of its Master Lease Agreements with each of its landlords as further described below, and after giving effect to such transactions, and the disposition of the Company’s Boca Raton community in January 2020, as of June 30, 2020, the Company leased 39 senior living communities and managed six senior living communities for the account of Healthpeak.

Ventas

As of December 31, 2019, the Company leased seven senior housing communities from Ventas.  The term of the Ventas lease agreement was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025.  On March 10, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Ventas (as amended, the “Ventas Agreement”), providing for the early termination of its Master Lease Agreement with Ventas covering all seven communities.  Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, from February 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to pay Ventas rent of approximately $1.0 million per month for such communities as compared to approximately $1.3 million per month that would otherwise have been due and payable under the Master Lease Agreement.  In addition, the Ventas Agreement provides that the Company will not be required to comply with certain financial covenants of the Master Lease Agreement during the forbearance period, which terminates on December 31, 2020 absent any defaults by the Company.  In conjunction with the Ventas Agreement, the Company released to Ventas $4.1 million in security deposits and $2.5 million in escrow deposits held by Ventas, and Ventas reduced the amounts and term of the Company’s lease payments, and effectively eliminated the Company’s lease termination obligation, which was $11.4 million at December 31, 2019.  The Ventas Agreement provides that Ventas can terminate the Master Lease Agreement, with respect to any or all communities upon 30 days’ notice. The effective date of termination may not be later than December 31, 2020. Upon termination, Ventas may elect to enter into a property

management agreement with the Company as manager or transition the properties to a new operator. If, as of December 1, 2020, Ventas has not delivered a termination notice for any communities subject to the Master Lease Agreement, then, with respect to any such communities, Ventas will be deemed to have delivered a termination notice electing to enter into a property management agreement with the Company as manager for such communities with an effective date of December 31, 2020. Any such management agreement will provide for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenues of the applicable community payable to the Company and other customary terms and conditions. The Ventas Agreement also provides that the Company will not be obligated to fund certain capital expenditures under the Master Lease Agreement during the applicable forbearance period and Ventas will reimburse the Company for certain specified capital expenditures.

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the reduction in the monthly minimum rent payable to Ventas and modification of the lease term pursuant to the Ventas Agreement was determined to be a modification of the Master Lease Agreement.  As such, the Company reassessed the classification of the Master Lease Agreement with Ventas based on the modified terms and determined that the lease continued to be classified as an operating lease until the communities transitioned to a different operator or management agreement, at which time the lease would terminate.  The modification resulted in a reduction to the lease termination obligation, lease liability and operating lease right-of-use asset recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets by approximately $11.4 million, $51.6 million, and $47.8 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2020.  The Company recognized a net gain of approximately $8.4 million on the transaction, which is included in gain on facility lease modification and termination, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and was primarily due to the impact of the change in lease term on certain of the right-of-use asset balances.  As a result of the lease modification, the Company assessed the operating lease right-of-use assets for impairment.  See “Note 4- Impairment of Long Lived Assets.”

Welltower

As of December 31, 2019, the Company leased 24 senior housing communities from Welltower. The initial terms of the Welltower lease agreements were scheduled to expire on various dates from April 2025 through April 2026. On March 15, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Welltower (the “Welltower Agreement”), providing for the early termination of three Master Lease Agreements between it and Welltower covering all 24 communities.  Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, from February 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to pay Welltower rent of approximately $2.2 million per month for such communities as compared to approximately $2.8 million per month that would otherwise have been due and payable under the Master Lease Agreements.  In addition, the Welltower Agreement provides that the Company will not be required to comply with certain financial covenants of the Master Lease Agreements during the forbearance period, which terminates on December 31, 2020, absent any defaults by the Company.  In conjunction with the Welltower Agreement, the Company agreed to release $6.5 million in letters of credit to Welltower, which were released during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  The Welltower Agreement provides that Welltower can terminate the agreement, with respect to any or all communities upon 30 days’ notice. The effective date of termination may not be later than December 31, 2020. Upon termination, Welltower may elect to enter into a property management agreement with the Company as manager or to transition the properties to a new operator. If, as of December 1, 2020, Welltower has not delivered a termination notice for any communities subject to the Master Lease Agreements, then, with respect to any such communities, Welltower will be deemed to have delivered a termination notice electing to enter into a property management agreement with the Company as manager for such communities with an effective date of December 31, 2020. Any such management agreement will provide for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenues of the applicable community payable to the Company and other customary terms and conditions. The Welltower Agreement also provides that the Company will not be obligated to fund certain capital expenditures under the Master Lease Agreements during the applicable forbearance period and Welltower will reimburse the Company for certain specified capital expenditures.

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the reduction in the monthly minimum rent payable to Welltower under the then- existing Master Lease Agreements with Welltower and modification to the lease term pursuant to the Welltower Agreement was determined to be a modification of the Master Lease Agreements.  As such, the Company reassessed the classification of the Master Lease Agreements based on the modified terms and determined that the each of the leases continued to be classified as an operating lease until the applicable communities transitioned to a different operator or management agreement, at which time such lease would terminate.  The modification resulted in a reduction to the lease liability and operating lease right-of-use asset recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets by approximately $129.9 million, and $121.9 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2020.  The Company recognized a gain of approximately $8.0 million on the transaction, which is included in gain on facility lease modification and termination, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  As a result of the lease modification, the Company assessed the operating lease right-of-use assets for impairment.  See “Note 4- Impairment of Long Lived Assets.”

Healthpeak

On March 1, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Healthpeak (“the Healthpeak Agreement”), effective February 1, 2020, providing for the early termination of one of its Master Lease Agreements with Healthpeak, which was previously scheduled to mature in April 2026.  Such Master Lease Agreement terminated and was converted into a Management Agreement under a RIDEA structure pursuant to which the Company agreed to manage the six communities that were subject to the Master Lease Agreement until such communities are sold by Healthpeak.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company will receive a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities.  In conjunction with the Healthpeak Agreement, the Company released to Healthpeak approximately $2.6 million of security deposits held by Healthpeak.  The Company remeasured the lease liability and operating lease right-of-use asset recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 to zero, resulting in a net loss of $7.0 million on the transaction, which is included in gain on facility lease modification and termination, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into an additional agreement with Healthpeak, effective April 1, 2020 until the end of the lease term on October 31, 2020. Pursuant to such agreement, the Company began paying Healthpeak rent of approximately $0.7 million per month for eight senior housing communities subject to a Master Lease Agreement with Healthpeak in lieu of approximately $0.9 million of monthly rent due and payable under the Master Lease Agreement covering such communities.  The rents paid to Healthpeak represent approximately 75% of their scheduled rates, with the remaining rent being subject to payment by the Company pursuant to a three-year note payable with final payment including accrued interest from November 1, 2021, to be made on or before November 1, 2023.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had deferred $0.7 million in rent payments, which is included in notes payable, net of deferred loan costs and current portion on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Given that the total minimum lease payments and the lease term remain unchanged, the Company has elected not to evaluate the deferral as a rent concession and will not account for the deferral as a modification to the existing lease agreement.  The Company concluded the concessions provided to the Company were not contemplated by the existing lease. The Company will account for the concession in the form of a deferral as if the lease terms were unchanged.  Accordingly, once interest begins to accrue on the deferral amount, the Company will record interest expense and accrued interest payable on the portion of the deferral amount that has yet to be paid on a monthly basis until such interest payments become due.  The Company will continue to account for the lease liability and right-of-use asset using the rights and obligations of the existing lease through the end of the lease term on October 31, 2020.

Disposition of Kokomo, Indiana Community

Effective May 1, 2019, the Company closed the sale of one senior housing community located in Kokomo, Indiana, for a total purchase price of $5.0 million and received approximately $1.4 million in net proceeds after retiring outstanding mortgage debt of $3.5 million and paying customary transaction and closing costs (the “Kokomo Sale Transaction”). The community was comprised of 138 assisted living units. The Company had reported these assets as held for sale at March 31, 2019 and recorded a remeasurement write-down of approximately $2.3 million to adjust the carrying values of these assets to the sales price, less costs to sell, which is included in the write down of assets held for sale net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
