On March 11, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. (“CHP”), a public non-traded real estate investment trust which owns a national portfolio of 69 high-quality senior housing communities, pursuant to the definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CHP and its affiliates (the “CHP Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of CHP in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $1.8 billion, with approximately 68% of the consideration paid in the form of newly issued Sonida Common Stock and 32% paid in cash. Specifically, each share of CHP common stock was converted into $2.32 in cash and 0.1318 shares of Sonida common stock, which was determined by dividing (a) $4.58 by (b) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Sonida common stock during a measurement period prior to closing of the transaction was $35.93 and subject to a collar of 15% below the transaction reference price for the Sonida common stock of $26.74 (the “Transaction Reference Price”) and 30% above the Transaction Reference Price.
On December 29, 2025, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility (as further amended on March 5, 2026, the “A&R Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, provide for permanent debt financing to fund a portion of the cash consideration necessary for the CHP Merger, which amendments were subject to and conditioned upon the consummation of the CHP Merger. The A&R Credit Agreement increased the available commitments under the revolving credit facility to $405 million, extended the maturity thereof to March 10, 2030, reduced the leverage-based pricing matrix to between Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.35% margin and SOFR plus 2.00% margin, expanded the lenders, and effected certain other changes (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition, under the A&R Credit Agreement, the Company obtained commitments in the amount of $525 million of new term loans in two equal tranches (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility is comprised of a three-year tranche that matures March 10, 2029 and a five-year tranche that matures March 10, 2031. The Term Loan Facility is subject to a leverage-based pricing matrix between SOFR plus 1.30% margin and SOFR plus 1.95% margin. The A&R Credit Agreement has a $320.0 million accordion feature to provide for future liquidity needs of the Company. The Company entered into a SOFR-based interest rate cap (“IRC”) to reduce exposure to the variable interest rate fluctuations associated with the Term Loan Facility. The IRC has a total cost of $0.6 million, an aggregate notional amount of $262.5 million, a 36-month term and an interest rate of 4.50%.
On March 10, 2026 (the “Funding Date”), the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement to provide for $270 million of bridge debt financing (the “Bridge Loan”) and incurred aggregate borrowings of $245 million under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $525 million under the Term Loan Facility. The proceeds of the Bridge Loan, together with the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility, were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid to the holders of common stock of CHP pursuant to the Merger Agreement, to repay certain existing unsecured senior indebtedness of CHP, to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, to refinance the borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. The Bridge Loan will mature on the date that is 364 days after the Funding Date. The Bridge Loan is subject to a leverage-based pricing matrix between SOFR plus 1.35% margin and SOFR plus 2.00% margin; provided that the margin applicable to the Bridge Loan will increase by 0.25% on each date that is 90, 180 and 270 days after the Funding Date. The Company entered into a SOFR-based IRC to reduce exposure to the variable interest rate fluctuations associated with the Bridge Loan. The IRC has a total cost of $35 thousand, an aggregate notional amount of $270 million, a 12-month term and an interest rate of 4.25%. The Bridge Loan is expected to be replaced through property-level financing prior to its maturity.
In addition, to provide cash funding for the CHP Merger, entities affiliated with Conversant Capital, LLC and Silk Partners LP, two of the Company’s largest shareholders, funded an aggregate amount of $110 million in exchange for the issuance of 4,113,688 of Sonida Common Stock on March 11, 2026 in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act at a price per share equal to the Transaction Reference Price of $26.74, in accordance with certain investment agreements.
Unless otherwise specifically noted, the information in this earnings release does not reflect the closing of the CHP Merger, which occurred subsequent to December 31, 2025. Accordingly, unless otherwise specifically noted or the context otherwise requires, references to Sonida Senior Living, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Sonida”, “we,” “our, “us” or the “Company”) refer only to Sonida Senior Living, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the CHP Merger. The post-Merger results of CHP will first be included in our consolidated financial information for the period ending March 31, 2026. We expect our 2026 results of operations to be materially impacted by the CHP Merger as a result of acquiring 69 senior-housing communities.
