Credit Facilities

In June 2026, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement with Capital One, National Association acting as administrative agent, lead arranger, and lender and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The amended agreement provides an expanded commitment of up to $200.0 million, which can be drawn in cash or as letters of credit. The credit facility matures in April 2029, and the Company has options to extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.50% based upon the percentage of the total commitment drawn. Additionally, a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35% per annum is applicable based upon the percentage of the total commitment drawn. The revolving credit facility is currently secured by first priority mortgages and negative pledges on certain of the Company’s communities. Available capacity under the facility will vary from time to time based upon certain calculations related to the appraised value and performance of the communities securing the credit facility and the variable interest rate of the credit facility.

As of June 30, 2026, $23.0 million of borrowings and $1.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the Company's $200.0 million secured credit facility. The Company also had separate letter of credit facilities providing up to $68.0 million of letters of credit as of June 30, 2026 under which $54.1 million had been issued as of that date.

In July 2026, the Company obtained $248.9 million of debt secured by non-recourse first mortgages on 45 communities, which also continue to secure $518.5 million of additional outstanding mortgages with maturities in 2031 and 2032. The $248.9 million loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.16% and matures in 2031. At the closing, the Company repaid $244.1 million of debt under the mortgage facility, which was scheduled to mature in 2027, using proceeds from the loan.

In June 2026, the Company obtained an aggregate of $188.0 million of debt and repaid $199.9 million of outstanding mortgage debt secured by 22 communities previously scheduled to mature in 2027.

In March 2026, the Company obtained an aggregate $184.9 million of debt and repaid $190.6 million of outstanding mortgage debt secured by 11 communities previously scheduled to mature in 2027.

Financial Covenants

Certain of the Company's debt documents contain restrictions and financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to maintain prescribed minimum liquidity, and net worth levels and debt service ratios, and requiring the Company not to exceed prescribed leverage ratios, in each case on a consolidated, portfolio-wide, multi-community, single-community, and/or entity basis. In addition, the Company's debt documents generally contain non-financial covenants, such as those requiring the Company to comply with Medicare or Medicaid provider requirements and maintain insurance coverage.

The Company's failure to comply with applicable covenants, subject to cure provisions in certain instances, could constitute an event of default under the applicable debt documents. Many of the Company's debt documents contain cross-default provisions so that a default under one of these instruments could cause a default under other debt and lease documents (including documents with other lenders and lessors). Furthermore, the Company's mortgage debt is secured by its communities and, in certain cases, a guaranty by the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants of its debt agreements.
