Prior to the closing of the sale of the Arkansas Facilities (the “Closing”), the Sellers leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, as subsequently amended (the “Lease Agreement”), among the Sellers and Skyline. For a description of the terms of the Lease Agreement, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - Note 7. Leases - Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators” included in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016, which description is incorporated herein by reference. In connection with the Lease Agreement, the Sellers entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by him, had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities until May 1, 2016 (the “Purchase Option”). The Purchaser delivered notice of its intent to exercise the Purchase Option on April 22, 2016.
The aggregate purchase price paid to the Sellers for the Arkansas Facilities was $55.0 million, which purchase price consisted of: (i) a non-refundable deposit of $1.75 million; (ii) cash consideration of $50.25 million paid to the Sellers at the Closing; and (iii) a promissory note, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Note”), from JS Highland Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Skyline (the “Borrower”), in favor of the Company with a principal amount of $3.0 million. The purchase price for the Arkansas Facilities was negotiated on an arm’s length basis at the time the Sellers and Skyline entered into the Lease Agreement.
The principal amount of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on March 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Borrower is required to make payments of interest only commencing on October 30, 2016 and on the last day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date. The Note provides that simple interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the Note at rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Such interest rate will increase by two percent (2%) on each anniversary date of the Note beginning in year three if the Note is still outstanding at that time. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Subordination Agreement (as defined below), the Note provides that the Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, at any time without penalty. The Note is guaranteed by Joseph Schwartz and Roselyn Schwartz (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Guaranty”), executed by the Guarantors in favor of the Company.
In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into a Subordination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 26, 2016 (the “Subordination Agreement”), with The PrivateBank and Trust Company, as agent for the lenders specified therein (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company agreed to subordinate its claims and rights to receive payment under the Note or any document which may evidence or secure the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, other than the Guaranty (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”), to the claims and rights of the Lenders to receive payment under certain revolving loans, with an initial aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million, and certain term loans, with an aggregate principal amount of $45.6 million,(collectively, the “Loans”), each extended by certain of the Lenders to affiliates of Skyline (collectively, the Skyline Borrowers”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company may not accept payment of the Subordinated Debt, or take any action to collect such payment, if: (i) the Company has received notice from the Lenders that the Skyline Borrowers have failed to meet a specified financial covenant with respect to the Loans; or (ii) a default has occurred or is continuing with respect to the Loans. Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Guarantors have agreed to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest: (x) on the date on which the Borrower or an affiliate thereof repays or refinances any of the Loans; (y) on the date on which the Borrower or its affiliates sells any of the Arkansas Facilities which the Borrower or its affiliates purchased with proceeds from the Loans; or (z) upon written notice from the Company to the Guarantors any time on or after the two year anniversary of the Note.
