Medical Properties Trust Completes $350 Million Sale of Facilities to Prime Healthcare

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced that it completed its previously announced sale of five facilities in California and New Jersey to Prime Healthcare (“Prime”) for aggregate consideration of $350 million. The total consideration consists of $250 million paid in immediate cash and a $100 million interest-bearing mortgage note due to MPT in nine months.

Also, as previously reported, Prime and MPT agreed to a new 20-year master lease for the remaining four hospitals leased to Prime, including a $260 million purchase option. To encourage Prime to exercise its purchase option early in the new lease term, the parties have agreed that the properties may be purchased at the $238 million lease base on or prior to August 26, 2028. After August 26, 2028 the option price reverts to $260 million (subject to annual escalations).
