Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information included in Item 2.01 below related to the U.S. Loan Agreements and the U.K. Loan Agreement (each as defined below) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 3, 2014, NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (“NorthStar Realty”) completed its acquisition of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Griffin-American”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among NorthStar Realty, Griffin-American, Griffin-American Healthcare REIT II Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Griffin-American Operating Partnership”), NRF Healthcare Subsidiary, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of NorthStar Realty (“Merger Sub”) and NRF OP Healthcare Subsidiary, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub (“Partnership Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Griffin-American was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Parent Merger”) and Partnership Merger Sub was merged with and into Griffin-American Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the Parent Merger, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity of the Parent Merger and Griffin-American Operating Partnership (which has been renamed Healthcare GA Operating Partnership-T, LP) (the “GA Operating Partnership”) continuing as the surviving entity of the Partnership Merger.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parent Merger became effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland and the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of the State of Delaware and the Partnership Merger became effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each with an effective date of December 3, 2014. The assets acquired in the Merger include 295 healthcare real estate properties (the “Portfolio”).
At the effective time of the Parent Merger, each share of issued and outstanding Griffin-American common stock was converted into the right to receive $7.75 cash and 0.2071 shares of NorthStar Realty’s common stock (the “Merger Consideration”) and at the effective time of the Partnership Merger, each issued and outstanding limited partnership unit of Griffin-American Operating Partnership also converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No fractional shares were issued in the Merger, and cash was paid in lieu thereof. NorthStar Realty issued approximately 60.82 million shares of its common stock in connection with the Merger. Based on the volume weighted average price of NorthStar Realty’s common stock during the ten-trading day period ending December 1, 2014, the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration, including debt repaid at closing, was approximately $4.0 billion.
As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2014, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (“NorthStar Healthcare") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with NorthStar Realty pursuant to which NorthStar Healthcare agreed to acquire an equity interest (the “Portfolio Interest”) in the Portfolio previously held by Griffin-American upon completion of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, NorthStar Healthcare acquired the Portfolio Interest of approximately 14% for $188.0 million in cash (including a pro rata share of transaction costs). NorthStar Healthcare's board of directors approved an increase in the size of the equity investment in the Portfolio from $100.0 million to up to $200.0 million on December 2, 2014.
NorthStar Healthcare and NorthStar Realty hold their interests in the Portfolio through a general partnership (the “GA General Partnership”) on a pari passu basis, over which NorthStar Realty has day-to-day control of the management. NorthStar Realty is externally managed by a subsidiary of NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc., NorthStar Healthcare’s sponsor and the parent of NorthStar Healthcare’s advisor. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of the GA General Partnership, NorthStar Healthcare has the right to consent to certain major decisions by the GA General Partnership and the Portfolio Interest is subject to certain transfer restrictions.
In connection with the Merger and the acquisition of the Portfolio Interest, on December 3, 2014, various indirect subsidiaries of the GA General Partnership entered into (either as borrowers or guarantors): (i) a mortgage loan agreement and three mezzanine loan agreements (collectively, the “U.S. Loan Agreements”) pursuant to which Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, and Column Financial, Inc. funded term loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.6 billion (collectively, the “U.S. Loan”) and (ii) a term loan facility agreement (the “U.K. Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Credit Suisse AG, London Branch funded an approximately £223.8 million term loan (the “U.K. Loan”).
The terms of the U.S. Loan include, without limitation, the following: (i) no amortization; (ii) a fixed rate component of approximately $1.8 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 4.576% per annum; (iii) a floating rate component of $892.0
million with a weighted average interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 3.10% (the “U.S. Floating Rate”); (iv) a term of five years for the fixed rate component; (v) a term of two years for the floating rate component, with three one-year extension options subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and an increase of 0.25% in the interest rate upon exercise of the second extension option; (vi) restrictions on prepayment and sales of assets; (vii) the creation of reserves to pay for certain ongoing expenses associated with the secured properties; (viii) the establishment of a cash management system with respect to the secured properties; and (ix) customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Both the fixed and floating rate components may be prepaid, subject to certain restrictions, as more fully described in the U.S. Loan Agreements. In the event the GA General Partnership determines to prepay any of the U.S. Loan, such prepayment shall be first applied to the floating rate component. Although recourse for repayment of the U.S. Loan is generally limited to the GA Operating Partnership’s U.S. assets, NorthStar Realty Healthcare, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NorthStar Realty (“NRH”), provided a “non-recourse carveout” guaranty and is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $400.0 million. The borrowers under the U.S. Loan have purchased a two-year interest rate “cap” with respect to the U.S. Floating Rate with a one-month LIBOR “strike rate” of 4.75%. In accordance with certain “flex” procedures in connection with the securitization and syndication of the U.S. Loan, the interest rates on the U.S. Loan may be increased and the interest rates may also be decreased if the GA General Partnership “buys down” those rates with the consent of the lenders.
The terms of the U.K. Loan include, without limitation, the following: (i) required amortization payments equal to 1.0% of the original loan amount during each year of the term of the U.K. Loan, payable in four equal quarterly installments on each quarterly interest payment date; (ii) a term of three years, with two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions; (iii) restrictions on sales of assets; (iv) the creation of reserves to pay for certain ongoing expenses associated with the secured properties; (v) the establishment of a cash management system with respect to the secured properties; and (vi) customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The annual interest rate on the U.K. Loan is three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% (the “U.K. Interest Rate”). Although recourse for repayment of the U.K. Loan is generally limited to the GA Operating Partnership’s U.K. and Jersey subsidiaries, NRH provided a “non-recourse carveout” guaranty, similar to the non-recourse carveout guaranty for the U.S. Loan and is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $100.0 million. The borrowers under the U.K. Loan intend to purchase a three-year interest rate “cap” with respect to the U.K. Interest Rate with a three-month LIBOR “strike rate” of 2.50%.
