Sunrise Senior Living Announces Change to Investor Group

February 12, 2014

 

McLean, Va. – Sunrise Senior Living, LLC, announced today that Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE: HCN) has entered into a definitive agreement to recapitalize the Sunrise Senior Living management company. Upon closing of the transaction, Health Care REIT, which currently owns an approximately 20% interest in Sunrise, will own a 24% interest in Sunrise. Revera Inc., one of Canada’s leading providers of seniors’ accommodations, care and services, will own the remainder. Health Care REIT and Revera are acquiring their interests in Sunrise from affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company and Coastwood Senior Housing Partners LLC. Sunrise will continue managing its existing communities under the Sunrise brand

“We look forward to a supportive and long-term partnership with Health Care REIT and Revera,” said Penny McIntyre, Sunrise’s chief executive officer. “Sunrise will continue to operate independently under our current brand, and we welcome this new chapter in our journey to provide Sunrise’s high-quality, innovative care to seniors.”

“Health Care REIT and Revera share a long-term investment horizon, partnership approach to business and expertise in seniors housing,” said George L. Chapman, Health Care REIT’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We are pleased with our investment in Sunrise as it is performing in line with our high expectations. KKR, Beecken Petty O’Keefe and Coastwood played an important role in transitioning Sunrise from a public company to a best-in-class privately held company. The strong alignment among Health Care REIT, Revera and Sunrise will support continued operational excellence at Sunrise and position it to be a global leader in private pay seniors housing.”

“This is an important strategic opportunity for Revera to invest in a management company that has a presence in the growing and vibrant seniors housing markets in the U.S. and U.K.,” said Jeff Lozon, president and chief executive officer for Revera. “We are deeply committed to long-term growth in the seniors housing sector and are pleased to further strengthen our partnership with Health Care REIT by investing in one of the most respected brands in the industry.”

“Sunrise is committed to the highest standards of living and quality of care for its residents, and we are proud to have invested in the company and to have supported management alongside Health Care REIT. The company has a bright future ahead of it,” Ralph Rosenberg, KKR’s Global Head of Real Estate, said.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. KeyBanc Capital Markets served as financial advisors to Sunrise.
