Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 1, 2011, the Company executed an agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $23 million mortgage loan, replacing its current mortgage loan which was to expire in August 2011, and extending the maturity of its $15 million revolving credit facility. The new Mortgage Loan has a term of five years, with principal and interest payable monthly based on a 25 year amortization. Proceeds of the new mortgage were used to retire the existing $20.4 million mortgage, pay transaction costs and provide proceeds of approximately $2.4 million to be used for capital improvements at the mortgaged homes. Interest on the new mortgage is fixed at 7.07% based on an interest rate swap transaction entered into with the lead bank in the bank syndicate. The new mortgage loan is secured by four owned nursing centers, related equipment and a lien on the accounts receivable of these facilities.

The extension of the maturity of the Company’s current $15 million revolving credit facility from March 2013 to March 2016 is to make its maturity coincide with the mortgage loan. The extension also changed the interest rate on revolving credit loans to LIBOR plus 4.5%, compared to LIBOR plus 3.5% subject to a LIBOR floor of 3.0% under the previous agreement. A press release regarding this credit facility is attached as an exhibit hereto.
