Item 2.01. — Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, LTC Properties, Inc. (LTC or the “Company”) announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a portfolio of 10 independent, assisted living and memory care properties (collectively the “Properties”) totaling 891 units. Nine of the properties are located in Wisconsin and one is located in Illinois. On August 17, 2015, the closing occurred and the Company completed the acquisition of the Properties.

The aggregate purchase price paid at closing was $142.0 million funded by utilizing the Company’s revolving credit facility.  The Company intends to partially repay the $142.0 million drawdown of its revolving credit facility from proceeds derived from the anticipated issuance of senior unsecured notes under the Company’s private shelf facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc., as previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015.

On August 20, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the acquisition of the Properties. A copy of the press release is furnished with this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
