This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO") relating to an offer by LTC Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("LTC" or the "Company"), to purchase up to 3,000,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, for $5.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer To Purchase dated September 10, 2001 (the "Offer To Purchase") and the related Letter Of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to Schedule TO.
ITEMS 1 THROUGH 4 AND ITEM 11
Items 1 through 4 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer To Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by addition thereto of the following:
In order to accommodate all stockholders who have tendered their shares and to increase the opportunity for stockholders who may desire to tender shares or tender additional shares, LTC amended the Offer on October 8, 2001, increasing the number of shares of its common stock the Company is seeking to purchase from 3,000,000 shares to up to 6,000,000 shares, at the same purchase price of $5.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer. In order to effectuate the increase in the number of shares to be purchased, the Company is extending the tender offer period until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday, October 22, 2001. As of October 5, 2001, 5,245,518 shares of the Company's common stock have been tendered pursuant to the Company's Offer to Purchase dated September 10, 2001.
ITEM 7
Item 7 of the Schedule TO and Section 11 of the Offer is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Assuming the Company purchases a total of 6,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $5.75 per share, LTC expects the maximum cost including all fees and expenses applicable to the Offer to be approximately $35,000,000. This amount will be paid primarily from proceeds of the September 2001 sale of certain REMIC Subordinated Certificates from the Company's 1994-1 Pool and from the sale of three assisted living facilities in Wyoming. These sales have generated approximately $30,800,000 in proceeds to LTC. Including these proceeds, the Company has approximately $56,000,000 available under its secured revolving credit facility which does not restrict the Company's ability to use these funds for the purpose of purchasing shares in a self-tender. To the extent needed, the Company will draw funds under the secured revolving credit facility to fund the Offer.
On October 8, 2001, LTC Properties issued a press release announcing the increase in the number of shares sought and extension of the duration of the tender offer. The full text of the Company's October 8, 2001 press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(C) hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET.
The initial paragraph of the Offer To Purchase is hereby amended and restated as follows:
LTC Properties, Inc. ("LTC" or the "Company") is offering to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, at a price of $5.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon (the "Purchase Price"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the related Letter Of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the "Offer"). All shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Purchase Price. The Company may choose to purchase more than the 6,000,000 shares pursuant to the Offer. See Section 1. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to extend or amend any term of the Offer. See Section 15.
The Summary Term Sheet is supplemented as follows:
WHAT DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LTC THINK OF THE TENDER OFFER?

In order to achieve the increase in the number of shares to be purchased, the Company is extending the tender offer period until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday, October 22, 2001.
As of October 5, 2001, 5,245,518 shares of the Company's common stock have been tendered pursuant to the Company's Offer To Purchase dated September 10, 2001.
LTC's Board of Directors believes that its purchase of shares at this time is consistent with the Company's long-term corporate goal of seeking to increase stockholder value. Neither LTC nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation to any stockholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering shares.
On September 5, 2001, the last full trading day before LTC announced the Tender Offer, the closing price per share of the common stock on the NYSE Composite Tape was $4.55. On October 5, 2001, the closing market price was $5.35 per share.
LTC has been advised that none of its directors and executive officers that own shares will participate in the tender offer.
Assuming the Company purchases a total of 6,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $5.75 per share, LTC expects the maximum cost including all fees and expenses applicable to the Offer to be about $35,000,000. This amount will be paid mainly from proceeds of the September 2001 sale of certain REMIC Subordinated Certificates from the Company's 1994-1 Pool and from the sale of three assisted living facilities in Wyoming.
