ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE.

On June 23, 2003, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (the "Company") issued a
press release announcing the completion of a new $225 million Senior Secured
Credit Facility ("Credit Facility") arranged and syndicated by GE Healthcare
Financial Services. The Company has drawn $187 million under the new Credit
Facility to repay borrowings under the Company's two previous credit facilities
and replace letters of credit. In addition, proceeds from the loan are permitted
to be used to pay cumulative unpaid preferred dividends, and for general
corporate purposes. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1
herewith.

The new Credit Facility includes a $125 million term loan ("Term Loan") and
a $100 million revolving line of credit ("Revolver") fully secured by 121
facilities representing approximately half of the Company's invested assets.
Both the Term Loan and Revolver have a four-year maturity with a one-year
extension at the Company's option. The Term Loan amortizes on a 25-year basis
and is priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 3.75%, with a floor of 6.00%. The
Revolver is also priced at LIBOR plus a 3.75% spread, with a 6.00% floor.
