Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 4, 2017, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) issued (i) $550 million aggregate principal amount of Omega’s 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 4, 2017 (the “2028 Indenture”) among Omega, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and (ii) $150 million aggregate principal amount of Omega’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes,” and together with the 2028 Notes collectively, the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 11, 2014 (as amended and supplemented, the “2025 Indenture,” and together with the 2028 Indenture collectively, the “Indentures”) among Omega, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and the Trustee. The offering was made pursuant to Omega’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-208710) and related free writing prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The 2028 Notes mature on January 15, 2028 and the 2025 Notes mature on January 15, 2025. The 2028 Notes bear interest from April 4, 2017 at a rate of 4.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2018. The 2025 Notes bear interest from January 15, 2017 at a rate of 4.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2017. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Omega’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness for money borrowed of Omega in a principal amount at least equal to $50 million (including as of the date hereof, Omega’s existing senior notes and the facilities under Omega’s credit agreements).

 

The Notes are Omega’s unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Omega’s existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of Omega’s existing and future subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of Omega’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including indebtedness, trade payable and lease obligations) of each of Omega’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

Omega may redeem some or all of the 2028 Notes prior to October 15, 2027 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium calculated by reference to U.S. treasuries with a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2028 Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. The 2028 Notes will be redeemable at any time on or after October 15, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

 

Omega may redeem some or all of the 2025 Notes prior to October 15, 2024 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium calculated by reference to U.S. treasuries with a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2025 Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. The 2025 Notes will be redeemable at any time on or after October 15, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100%

of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

 

The Indentures contain certain covenants that limit the ability of Omega and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Omega or its subsidiaries guarantors’ assets. The Indentures also contain covenants requiring Omega to maintain a certain amount of unencumbered assets.

 

The Indentures contain customary events of default including, without limitation, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, cross-acceleration to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. An event of default under either Indenture will allow either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes governed by such Indenture to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under the Notes governed by such Indenture.
