Medical Properties Trust, Inc. Announces New Lease Agreement for Six California Facilities

Stabilized Cash Rent of $45 Million Annually

Competition for Operations Results in Value $10 Million in Excess of Stalking Horse Bid

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the 鈥淐ompany鈥� or 鈥淢PT鈥�) (NYSE: MPW) today announced a lease agreement with NOR Healthcare Systems Corp. (鈥淣OR鈥�) in conjunction with NOR鈥檚 successful bid for Prospect Medical Group鈥檚 (鈥淧rospect鈥�) California operations. The transactions are expected to close in 2025, subject to approval by applicable regulatory agencies.

The six facilities will be subject to a master lease with initial annualized rent of $45 million, virtually identical to Prospect鈥檚 once-scheduled 2025 rent, and CPI-based annual rent escalators beginning in 2026. All rent will be deferred for a period of six months, and 50% of rent will be deferred for an additional period of six months, after which the aggregate deferred rent will be paid over the remaining lease term. MPT has committed to fund up to $60 million in seismic improvements as may be required by California regulators over the next four years, which will increase the lease base and result in additional rent at the prevailing lease yield.

Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, 鈥淭he additional $45 million of annual cash rent expected from these facilities adds to the more than $1 billion of pro rata annualized cash rent we expect from our current portfolio by the end 2026.鈥�

Aldag continued, 鈥淪ignificant competition among multiple capable operators to purchase the operations of these infrastructure-like facilities reflects their history of EBITDAR profitability.鈥�
