加利福尼亚州圣克莱门特（商业新闻短讯）--CareTrust REIT，Inc.（纽约证券交易所：CTRE）今天宣布，它与一家合资伙伴签署了一项具有约束力的协议，以大约5亿美元的购买价格收购一批熟练护理设施。。

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will close in the anticipated timeframe, or at all. The Company anticipates that the transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2024..

收购受惯例成交条件的约束，无法保证交易将在预期时间内或根本无法成交。该公司预计该交易将于2024年第四季度完成。。

It is anticipated that most of the facilities will be operated by existing CareTrust tenant relationships, including affiliates of The Ensign Group (NASDAQ: ENSG), PACS Group, Inc. (NYSE: PACS), and Links Healthcare Group. PACS has agreed to operate 12 of the facilities, Ensign affiliates 9 of the facilities, and Links 7 of the facilities.

预计大多数设施将由现有的CareTrust租户关系运营，包括Ensign Group（纳斯达克：ENSG）、PACS Group，Inc.（纽约证券交易所：PACS）和Links Healthcare Group的附属公司。PACS已同意运营其中12个设施、9个设施的旗下附属公司和7个设施的链接。

Three facilities will be master leased to a regional operator that is a new tenant relationship for CareTrust. Three of Ensign’s 9 facilities will be acquired by Ensign’s real estate subsidiary with the remaining 6 to be included in a new master lease..

三个设施将主租赁给区域运营商，这是CareTrust的新租户关系。Ensign的房地产子公司将收购Ensign的9项设施中的3项，其余6项将纳入新的主租约。。

The acquisition will be completed through a joint venture arrangement entered into between CareTrust and a large third-party healthcare real estate owner. In connection with the joint venture’s acquisition of the portfolio, CareTrust expects to provide a combined common equity and preferred equity investment amount totaling approximately $442 million at an initial contractual yield on its combined preferred and common equity investments in the joint venture of approximately 9.0%..

此次收购将通过CareTrust与一家大型第三方医疗保健房地产所有者签订的合资协议完成。。。

Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated that, “This transaction provides an extraordinary opportunity for us and these operators to significantly expand our presence in two states we are very excited about: Tennessee and Alabama.” Mr. Sedgwick went on to state that, “The successful closing of this transaction in the fourth quarter will, not including other opportunities we continue to pursue, bring our annual investment total to approximately $1.4 billion.

CareTrust总裁兼首席执行官戴夫·塞奇威克（DaveSedgwick）表示，“这项交易为我们和这些运营商提供了一个非常好的机会，可以大幅扩大我们在田纳西州和阿拉巴马州这两个我们非常兴奋的州的业务。”塞奇威克先生接着表示，“第四季度成功完成这项交易，不包括我们继续追求的其他机会，将使我们的年度投资总额达到约14亿美元。

Combining the full-year impact of this year’s investments with a reloading pipeline, the table is set for 2025 to be another tremendous year for CareTrust and the many operators we support.”.

结合今年投资的全年影响和重新加载管道，该表预计2025年对CareTrust和我们支持的许多运营商来说将是另一个巨大的一年。”。

James Callister, CareTrust’s Chief Investment Officer, remarked that, “We are incredibly excited to expand our relationship with Ensign, PACS and Links and to begin a new relationship with another quality operator as they each strive to provide an outstanding experience for their employees, residents, patients, and communities.”.
