New $200 Million Unsecured, Seven-Year Term
Loan Closed
$400 Million of Existing Five-Year Floating
Rate Debt Swapped to Fixed Rate
Care Capital Properties, Inc. (NYSE:CCP) (“CCP” or the
“Company”) today announced that it has refinanced or swapped a
total of $600 million of debt, effectively converting the interest
on that debt from floating rates to fixed rates. The Company closed
a new $200 million unsecured, seven-year term loan (the “Term
Loan”) initially priced at 180 basis points over LIBOR. The
proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay a portion of the
Company’s existing $600 million unsecured term loan due August
2017. As part of this transaction, the Company entered into
agreements to swap the full notional amount of the Term Loan into
an all-in fixed interest rate of 3.25 percent. Separately, the
Company entered into agreements to swap $400 million of its $800
million unsecured term loan due August 2020 from 150 basis points
over LIBOR to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.73 percent.
“CCP has made a great start in expeditiously replacing our
interim financing with longer term, fixed rate borrowings that have
a staggered maturity schedule, one of our top priorities for 2016.
With these transactions, we fixed the rate on over 40 percent of
our term debt, repaid $200 million of our two-year unsecured term
loan, and extended our debt maturities,” CCP Chief Executive
Officer Raymond J. Lewis said. “We now effectively have $600
million of fixed rate debt with a weighted average maturity of 5.4
years and a weighted average interest rate of 2.9 percent. Our
commitment to establishing our permanent capital structure includes
ensuring that we can access debt and equity from multiple
sources.”

forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual
results may differ from CCP’s expectations. CCP does not undertake
a duty to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date on which they are made.
CCP’s actual future results and trends may differ materially
from expectations depending on a variety of factors discussed in
its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
factors include without limitation: (a) the ability and willingness
of CCP’s tenants, borrowers and other third parties to satisfy
their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements
with CCP, including, in some cases, their obligations to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless CCP from and against various claims,
litigation and liabilities; (b) the ability of CCP’s tenants and
borrowers to maintain the financial strength and liquidity
necessary to satisfy their respective obligations and liabilities
to third parties, including without limitation obligations under
their existing credit facilities and other indebtedness; (c) CCP’s
success in implementing its business strategy and its ability to
identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate
diversifying acquisitions and investments; (d) macroeconomic
conditions such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital
markets, changes in the debt rating on U.S. government securities,
default or delay in payment by the United States of its
obligations, and changes in the federal or state budgets resulting
in the reduction or nonpayment of Medicare or Medicaid
reimbursement rates; (e) the nature and extent of future
competition, including new construction in the markets in which
CCP’s properties are located; (f) the extent of future or pending
healthcare reform and regulation, including cost containment
measures and changes in reimbursement policies, procedures and
rates; (g) increases in CCP’s borrowing costs as a result of
changes in interest rates and other factors; (h) the ability of
CCP’s tenants to comply with laws, rules and regulations in the
operation of CCP’s properties, to deliver high-quality services, to
attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract residents and
patients; (i) changes in general economic conditions or economic
conditions in the markets in which CCP may, from time to time,
compete, and the effect of those changes on CCP’s revenues,
earnings and capital sources; (j) CCP’s ability to pay down,
refinance, restructure or extend its indebtedness as it becomes
due; (k) CCP’s ability and willingness to maintain its
qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax
and other considerations; (l) final determination of CCP’s taxable
net income for the year ended December 31, 2015; (m) the ability
and willingness of CCP’s tenants to renew their leases upon
expiration, CCP’s ability to reposition its properties on the same
or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event CCP
exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations,
including indemnification obligations, CCP may incur in connection
with the replacement of an existing tenant; (n) year-over-year
changes in the Consumer Price Index and the effect of those changes
on the rent escalators contained in CCP’s leases and on CCP’s
earnings; (o) CCP’s ability and the ability of its tenants and
borrowers to obtain and maintain adequate property, liability and
other insurance from reputable, financially stable providers; (p)
the impact of increased operating costs and uninsured professional
liability claims on CCP’s or its tenants’ or borrowers’ liquidity,
financial condition and results of operations, and the ability of
CCP and its tenants and borrowers to accurately estimate the
magnitude of those claims; (q) consolidation in the healthcare
industry resulting in a change of control of, or a competitor’s
investment in, one or more of CCP’s tenants or borrowers or
significant changes in the senior management of CCP’s tenants or
borrowers; (r) the impact of litigation or any financial,
accounting, legal or regulatory issues that may affect CCP or its
tenants or borrowers; and (s) changes in accounting principles, or
their application or interpretation, and CCP’s ability to make
estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could
have an effect on CCP’s earnings. Many of these factors are beyond
the control of CCP and its management.
