New pending acquisition of eight-asset senior
housing portfolio for $103 million to grow Sonida’s total senior
living operating portfolio to 91 communities
Raised $130 million in gross proceeds through
upsized public offering of common stock in August 2024 to fund
pending acquisitions
$150 million commitment on new senior secured
revolving credit facility to support growth
Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (“Sonida” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
SNDA), a leading owner, operator and investor in communities and
services for seniors, today provided a summary on its recent
capital markets activity and pending acquisitions.
“On the heels of strong second quarter operating results, which
demonstrated ongoing improvement across all key operating metrics,
I am equally pleased with the Company’s steady execution on both
its external accretive growth strategy and associated capital
markets initiatives,” said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Amidst historically favorable senior housing
trends, Sonida’s integrated and well-capitalized operating and
investment platform have positioned the Company to confidently
invest in high-quality, recently constructed communities at
attractive valuations. This strategy, coupled with continued
organic growth in our existing portfolio, can drive meaningful
value creation for the Company’s shareholders. We are very
appreciative of the support from our existing and new equity
shareholders and banking relationships, in addition to our
invaluable operating teams.”
Pending Acquisition
On August 15, 2024, Sonida announced that it is under contract
to acquire eight senior living communities strategically located in
attractive submarkets in the Southeast. This pending transaction
will further densify the Company’s footprint in northern Florida
and South Carolina and includes 555 units with Assisted Living
(“AL”) and Memory Care (“MC”) offerings (approximately 70% AL and
30% MC). The eight communities are located in high growth primary
and secondary metropolitan areas: Jacksonville, Orlando and Daytona
Beach (Florida); Hilton Head, Charleston and Florence (South
Carolina).
These communities will further modernize Sonida’s portfolio and
densify its presence in the Southeast, which will allow Sonida to
fully leverage its operating scale and drive efficiencies. The
eight-asset portfolio, with an attractive average asset age of 5
years, compares favorably to an average asset age of 19 years when
looking at comparable inventory within a 10-mile radius.
Sonida’s purchase price of $102.9 million, or approximately
$185,000 per unit, reflects a significant discount to the Company’s
estimate of replacement cost. The portfolio’s in-place occupancy is
approximately 83% with an average RevPOR of more than $6,000. The
Company anticipates that multi-year stabilization of net operating
income and margin should result in free cash flow and Net Asset
Value accretion in addition to the noted qualitative benefits to
the portfolio.
As of today, Sonida’s total operating portfolio is comprised of
83 communities, 13 of which Sonida manages on behalf of a
third-party and is inclusive of a new management contract that
closed in August 2024. Upon the closing of this acquisition, which
is targeted for late Q3 or early Q4, Sonida’s total operating
portfolio will grow to 91 communities.

Capital Markets Update – Public Equity
Offering
During August 2024, the Company raised $130.4 million in gross
proceeds from its offering of common equity. The Company initially
raised $110.4 million, net of underwriter discounts and offering
costs, as it closed on an underwritten public offering of 4,300,000
shares of its common stock, upsized from 4,000,000 shares at launch
on August 19, 2024. The price to the public of the offering was
$27.00 per share. As part of the offering, the Company granted the
underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of
the Company’s common shares. On August 22, 2024, underwriters
purchased an additional 530,317 shares for incremental proceeds of
$13.6 million, net of underwriter discounts and offering costs.
Conversant Capital, the Company’s largest shareholder, anchored the
raise, purchasing $50.0 million of shares in the public offering.
Sonida intends to use $102.9 million of the $124.0 million net
proceeds from the offering to fund the purchase price for the
pending acquisition of eight senior living communities described
above. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from
the offering, including net proceeds from the underwriters’
exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, for other
general corporate purposes.
Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and BMO Capital Markets
acted as joint lead book-running managers of the offering.

press release here.
Capital Markets Update – New $150
Million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On July 24, 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured
revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Bank
N.A. (“BMO Bank”), as administrative agent and a lender. On August
12, 2024, the Company received a commitment letter from the Royal
Bank of Canada (“RBC”) pursuant to which RBC has committed to
provide a revolving credit commitment under the Credit Facility for
an additional amount of up to $75.0 million, which additional
commitment is subject to certain customary conditions, including
the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements acceptable
to Sonida, RBC and BMO Bank, and will result in an aggregate
commitment under our Credit Facility of up to $150.0 million. The
Credit Facility has a term of three years, a leverage-based pricing
matrix between S+210 and S+260 and is fully recourse to Sonida
Senior Living, Inc. and its applicable subsidiaries.
For more information, please see the Company’s prospectus
supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
filed on August 15, 2024 here.
Loan Modification
On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into loan modification
agreements (“Texas Loan Modification”) with one of its lenders on
two owned communities in Texas. The original loan terms included
maturities of April 2025 and October 2031, as well as cross-default
provisions with each other. The Texas Loan Modification revised the
loan maturities to December 2025 on both communities and provides
the Company with an option to make a discounted payoff (“Texas
DPO”) of the outstanding loan principal on or prior to November 1,
2024. The Texas DPO amount of $18.5 million represents a discount
of 36% on the total principal outstanding of $28.7 million on these
two loans (as of July 31, 2024). The Texas Loan Modification
represents the last material restructuring of the Company’s debt
portfolio, with 58 of 60 loans having been addressed over the past
12 months.
