TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Invesque Inc. (TSX: IVQ.U) (TSX: IVQ) (the "Company") today announced its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

• As previously announced, on September 23, 2024, the Company sold a skilled nursing facility in Illinois for US$16.5 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce borrowings under the KeyBank credit facility.
  
  
• As previously announced, on October 15, 2024, the Company sold seven seniors housing assets that were previously managed by Commonwealth Senior Living ("CSL") for US$65.4 million. The Company used sale proceeds to pay off the property level mortgage debt associated with the communities, and further reduce borrowings under the KeyBank credit facility. The remaining cash was retained by the Company to maintain appropriate liquidity levels.
  
  
• As previously announced, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in twenty seniors housing assets currently managed by CSL and the Company's interests in the CSL management company. Invesque expects this sale to close during the first quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction or waiver of a due diligence condition in favour of the purchaser and other customary closing conditions. Accordingly, there is no certainty that this transaction will close on the expected timeline or at all.
