Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 3, 2011, Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra”), through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, completed the previously disclosed acquisition of Texas Regional Medical Center at Sunnyvale, a 70-bed acute care hospital located outside of Dallas, Texas (the “Texas Regional Medical Center”), from CP Sunnyvale Property, Ltd, a Texas limited partnership (the “Seller”). The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $62.7 million, which was funded from Sabra’s available cash.

The facility opened to the public in September 2009 and is leased pursuant to a long term, triple net lease to Texas Regional Medical Center Ltd, (the “Tenant”), a partnership which includes approximately 75 physicians who practice at the hospital. Neither the Seller nor the Tenant are affiliated with Sabra.

In connection with the acquisition, Sabra assumed the Seller’s position in an existing triple-net lease with the Tenant that expires in September 2034. The lease provides for a 6% rent escalator every 5 years beginning in September 2014, resulting in GAAP annual lease revenues of $6.6 million, and two five-year renewal options with annual rent of 106% of the previous year’s rent. The acquisition is expected to provide an initial yield of 9.25% from cash rent.

 

Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 4, 2011, Sabra issued a press release reporting its results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The press release referred to a supplemental information package that is available on Sabra’s website, free of charge, at www.sabrahealth.com. The text of the press release and the supplemental information package are furnished herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are specifically incorporated by reference herein.

The information in this Form 8-K and the related information in the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Sabra under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
