Canadian company BayBridge Seniors Housing Inc. and Vancouver, Canada-based Amica Mature Lifestyles Inc. (TSX: ACC) announced that all conditions related to BayBridge’s acquisition of Amica have been satisfied and the transaction has closed on the terms previously announced on Sept. 2.

Additionally, BayBridge has six communities under construction and more sites in development.

The acquisition was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. As part of the arrangement, every Amica Shareholder received C$18.75 in cash and every outstanding stock option of Amica was cancelled at the effective time of the arrangement in exchange for a cash payment equal to the amount by which the consideration per share payable pursuant to the plan of arrangement exceeded the exercise price of such option.

Sale of Manning Gardens Nursing & Rehab Facility Closes

The sale of the 14,777-square-foot, 59-bed Manning Gardens Nursing & Rehab Facility in Fresno, California, closed in November.

The facility was sold in a quick sale in December 2012.

Originally featured as a traditional pocket listing, JCH Senior Group’s Shep Roylance represented the purchaser, a Los Angeles-based skilled nursing owner/operator. As the deal progressed, Roylance’s client realized that the current owner may consider a sales leaseback transaction. Over the next 30 days, Roylance and the potential purchaser renegotiated the agreement, turning it into an outright sales leaseback transaction, permitting the current owner to maintain operation of the facility.

Included in the sales leaseback transaction – which was bought for an undisclosed amount – was a capital improvement budget of $500,000.

Roylance’s clients were able to acquire an additional facility in Fresno and permit the current owner of Manning Gardens the ability to continue operating the facility after paying down some debt.

As soon as the deal officially closed, the new tenant and current licensee of Manning Gardens were able to start renovations.
