The Company expects all 18 of the community transitions to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2021. The Company receives a monthly management fee of approximately $0.2 million for managing the 18 communities.

The Company expects to extinguish $19.4 million in debt related to the Deer Park community when the legal transfer is complete, which is expected to occur in January 2021. The transfer of all 18 communities will reduce the Company’s debt by $217.7 million and improve annual cash flow by approximately $10 million.

“The transition of the Deer Park community is another step in our strategy to create a more focused, higher-performing portfolio while also reducing our liabilities and improving our liquidity,” said Kimberly S. Lody, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our employees at Deer Park will be missed, and we thank them for their unwavering commitment to the safety, care and engagement of the community’s residents.”

As part of its SING (Stabilize, Invest, Nurture, Grow) strategy to improve its operating performance and financial foundation, the Company has taken a number of actions, including asset sales, lease terminations and community transitions to other owners and operators.
