Restructuring our Business Arrangements with Five Star

The Transaction Agreement with Five Star. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, effective January 1, 2020, or the Conversion Time:


•	our previously existing master leases with Five Star for all of our senior living communities that Five Star leased, as well as our previously existing management agreements and pooling agreements with Five Star for our senior living communities that Five Star managed, were terminated and replaced, or the Conversion, with the New Management Agreements;


•	Five Star issued to us 10,268,158 Five Star common shares and an aggregate of 16,118,849 Five Star common shares to our shareholders of record as of December 13, 2019; and


•	as consideration for these share issuances, we provided Five Star with $75,000 of additional consideration, primarily by assuming certain of Five Star's working capital liabilities, resulting in a gain on lease termination of $22,896 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Also pursuant to the Transaction Agreement: (1) commencing February 1, 2019, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our previously existing master leases with Five Star was set at $11,000, as of February 1, 2019, subject to adjustment, and subsequently reduced in accordance with the Transaction Agreement as a result of our subsequent sales of certain of the leased senior living communities, and no additional rent was payable to us by Five Star from such date until the Conversion Time; and (2) as of April 1, 2019, we purchased from Five Star $49,155 of unencumbered Qualifying PP&E (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) related to our senior living communities leased and operated by Five Star.

Pursuant to the New Management Agreements, Five Star receives a management fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities, as well as an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of all communities on a combined basis exceeds the target EBITDA for all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year, provided that in no event shall the incentive fee be greater than 1.5% of the gross revenues realized at all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year.

The New Management Agreements expire in 2034, subject to Five Star's right to extend for two consecutive five year terms if Five Star achieves certain performance targets for the combined managed communities portfolio, unless earlier terminated. The New Management Agreements also provide us with the right to terminate the New Management Agreement for any community that does not earn 90% of the target EBITDA for such community for two consecutive calendar years or in any two of three consecutive calendar years, with the measurement period commencing January 1, 2021 (and the first termination not possible until the beginning of calendar year 2023), provided we may not in any calendar year terminate communities representing more than 20% of the combined revenues for all communities for the calendar year prior to such termination. Pursuant to a guaranty agreement dated as of January 1, 2020 made by Five Star in favor of our applicable subsidiaries, Five Star has guaranteed the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable New Management Agreements.

On April 1, 2019, we concluded that the Restructuring Transaction constituted a reconsideration event requiring us to assess whether we held a controlling financial interest in Five Star. As a result of this assessment, we determined that Five Star was a VIE effective as of the date of the Transaction Agreement. We determined not to consolidate Five Star in our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we do not have the power to direct the activities of Five Star that most significantly impact Five Star's economic performance and therefore are not the primary beneficiary of Five Star. Effective January 1, 2020, we determined that Five Star is not a VIE and we will account for our 33.9% investment in Five Star using the equity method of accounting because we are deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over Five Star's most significant activities. We have elected to use the fair value option to account for our investment in Five Star.

Our Senior Living Communities Formerly Leased by Five Star. Prior to the Conversion Time, we leased senior living communities to Five Star pursuant to five master leases with Five Star, each of which was terminated as of January 1, 2020 pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.

Under our previously existing leases with Five Star, Five Star paid us annual rent plus percentage rent equal to 4.0% of the increase in gross revenues at certain of our senior living communities over base year gross revenues as specified in the applicable leases. We recognized rental income payable by Five Star of $39,313 (excluding percentage rent of $538) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Rental income from Five Star represented 14.8% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and the properties Five Star leased from us represented 26.5%, excluding properties held for sale, if any, of our real estate investments, at cost, as of March 31, 2019. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, commencing February 1, 2019, no percentage rent was payable to us by Five Star. We previously determined percentage rent due under these leases annually and recognized it when all contingencies were met, which was typically at year end.

Our previously existing leases with Five Star were “triple net” leases, which generally required Five Star to pay rent and all property operating expenses, to indemnify us from liability which may arise by reason of our ownership of the properties, to maintain the properties at Five Star's expense, to remove and dispose of hazardous substances on the properties in compliance with applicable law and to maintain insurance on the properties for Five Star's and our benefit.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we funded $22,579 of improvements to communities leased to Five Star. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Five Star’s rent did not increase as a result of these purchases.

Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Five Star. Five Star managed 244 and 76 senior living communities for our account as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star to our TRSs, and Five Star manages these communities pursuant to long term management agreements. As described above, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, effective January 1, 2020, we replaced our long term management and pooling agreements with Five Star with the New Management Agreements, the terms of which are described above.

We incurred management fees payable to Five Star of $16,588 and $3,789 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents residents fees and services revenue disaggregated by type of contract and payer:



Revenue from contracts with customers:	Three Months Ended March 31, 2020		Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Basic housing and support services	$	231,516	$	87,412
Medicare and Medicaid programs	49,668		8,745
Private pay and other third party payer SNF services	50,785		11,888
Total residents fees and services	$	331,969	$	108,045

In addition to providing management services to us, Five Star also provides certain other services to residents at some of the senior living communities it manages for us, such as rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides rehabilitation services on an outpatient basis, the residents, third party payers or government programs pay Five Star for those rehabilitation services. At senior living communities Five Star manages for us where Five Star provides both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, we generally pay Five Star for those rehabilitation services and charges for these services are included in amounts charged to residents, third party payers or government programs. We incurred fees of $8,057 and $1,675 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with respect to rehabilitation services Five Star provided at senior living communities it manages for us that are payable by us. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Since January 1, 2020, we sold certain senior living communities that were then managed by Five Star. We and Five Star terminated our management agreements for these senior living communities in connection with these sales. See Note 3 for further information regarding these sales.
