Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Upon closing the transaction, the Company will operate a significantly larger platform in Texas and benefit from the clustering of communities. The portfolio is extremely complementary to our existing footprint and provides additional opportunities to achieve operating leverage and synergies. Furthermore, we are pleased to complete our third transaction with HCN and continue to strengthen our relationship.”
