9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

NOTE 3—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

As of September 30, 2020, Atria, Sunrise, Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred managed or operated approximately 20.6%, 10.4%, 8.1%, 4.9% and 1.1%, respectively, of our consolidated real estate investments based on gross book value (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020). Because Atria and Sunrise manage our properties in exchange for the receipt of a management fee from us, we are not directly exposed to the credit risk of our managers in the same manner or to the same extent as our triple-net tenants.

Based on gross book value, approximately 47.3% and 16.4% of our consolidated real estate investments were senior housing communities included in the senior living operations and triple-net leased properties reportable business segments, respectively (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020). MOBs, research and innovation centers, IRFs and LTACs, health systems, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and secured loans receivable and investments collectively comprised the remaining 36.3%. Our consolidated properties were located in 45 states, the District of Columbia, seven Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom as of September 30, 2020, with properties in one state (California) accounting for more than 10% of our total consolidated revenues and NOI for the three months then ended.

Triple-Net Leased Properties

The following table reflects the concentration risk related to our triple-net leased properties for the periods presented:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019
Revenues(1):
Brookdale Senior Living	4.0	%	4.6	%

Ardent	7.2		5.7
Kindred	7.8		6.2

(1)Total revenues include office building and other services revenue, income from loans and investments and interest and other income.

Each of our leases with Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred is a triple-net lease that obligates the tenant to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures, and to comply with the terms of the mortgage financing documents, if any, affecting the properties. In addition, each of our Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred leases has a corporate guaranty.

The properties we lease to Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred accounted for a significant portion of our triple-net leased properties segment revenues and NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. If Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent or Kindred becomes unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligations to us or to renew its leases with us upon expiration of the terms thereof, our financial condition and results of operations could decline, and our ability to service our indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders could be impaired. We cannot assure you that Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their respective obligations to us, and any failure, inability or unwillingness by Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent or Kindred to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT (a “Material Adverse Effect”). We also cannot assure you that Brookdale Senior Living, Ardent and Kindred will elect to renew their respective leases with us upon expiration of the leases or that we will be able to reposition any non-renewed properties on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all.

Brookdale Transaction

In July 2020, we entered into a revised master lease agreement (the “Brookdale Lease”) and certain other agreements (together with the Brookdale Lease, the “Agreements”) with Brookdale Senior Living. The Agreements modify our current arrangements with Brookdale Senior Living as follows:

We received up-front consideration approximating $235 million dollars, which will be amortized over the remaining lease term and consisted of: (a) $162 million in cash including $47 million from the transfer to Ventas of deposits under the Brookdale Lease; (b) a $45 million cash pay note (the “Note”) from Brookdale, which has an initial interest rate of 9.0%, increasing 50 basis points per annum, and matures on December 31, 2025; (c) $28 million in warrants exercisable for 16.3 million shares of Brookdale Senior Living common stock, which are exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2025 and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

Base cash rent under the Brookdale Lease is set at $100 million per annum starting in July 2020, with three percent annual escalators commencing on January 1, 2022. The Brookdale Lease is guaranteed by, and the Note is a direct obligation of, Brookdale Senior Living.

The warrants are classified within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These warrants are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized within other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Brookdale Senior Living transferred fee ownership of five senior living communities to us, in full satisfaction and repayment of a $78 million loan to Brookdale Senior Living from us that was secured by the five communities. Brookdale Senior Living will now manage those communities for us under a terminable management agreement.

Holiday Transaction

In April 2020, we completed a transaction with affiliates of Holiday Retirement (collectively,

“Holiday”), including (a) entry into a new, terminable management agreement with Holiday Management Company

for our 26 independent living assets previously subject to a triple-net lease (the “Holiday Lease”) with Holiday; (b)

termination of the Holiday Lease; and (c) our receipt from Holiday of $33.8 million in cash from the transfer to us of deposits under the Holiday Lease and $66 million in principal amount of secured notes. As a result of the Holiday Lease termination, we recognized net income of $50.2 million during the second quarter, composed of $99.8 million of cash and notes received less $49.6 million from the write-off of accumulated straight-line receivable.

Senior Living Operations

As of September 30, 2020, Atria and Sunrise, collectively, provided comprehensive property management and accounting services with respect to 258 of our 431 consolidated senior housing communities, for which we pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements.

We rely on our managers’ personnel, expertise, technical resources and information systems, proprietary information, good faith and judgment to manage our senior living operations efficiently and effectively. We also rely on our managers to set appropriate resident fees and otherwise operate our senior housing communities in compliance with the terms of our management agreements and all applicable laws and regulations. Although we have various rights as the property owner under our management agreements, including various rights to terminate and exercise remedies under the agreements as provided therein, Atria’s or Sunrise’s failure, inability or unwillingness to satisfy its respective obligations under those agreements, to efficiently and effectively manage our properties or to provide timely and accurate accounting information with respect thereto could have a Material Adverse Effect on us. In addition, significant changes in Atria’s or Sunrise’s senior management or equity ownership or any adverse developments in their businesses or financial condition could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.
