Approximately $95 million of the term loan proceeds were used to pay off and terminate CareTrust’s existing secured mortgage indebtedness under its 2006 credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation.
The lower interest rate resulting from the refinancing is expected to generate approximately $1.3 million in annual savings.
