Sabra Shareholders Approve Merger with Care Capital Properties

by Nellie Day August 16, 2017

IRVINE, CALIF. — Sabra Health Care REIT Inc. shareholders have voted to approve the company’s planned merger with Care Capital Properties, despite objections of several major shareholders. The proposed merger was announced in May. If completed, the transaction will create a healthcare REIT with a pro forma total market capitalization of roughly $7.4 billion and an equity market capitalization of roughly $4.3 billion. The all-stock transaction is scheduled to close Thursday, subject to customary closing conditions. Several shareholders vehemently opposed the merger, most notably Hudson Bay Capital, which owns 3.9 percent of Sabra shares. The company cited a report by advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services that suggested Sabra was overpaying for CCP, and that headwinds in the skilled nursing sector would cause the CCP portfolio (which is nearly all skilled nursing) to struggle. The new REIT will be headquartered in Irvine and include a healthcare portfolio comprised of 564 investments across 43 states and Canada. Sabra’s current executive team will manage the company, which will continue to trade under the SBRA ticker symbol. The vote occurred at Sabra’s special meeting of stockholders. The company reports that holders of more than two thirds of the shares voted at the meeting in …
