11 Octubre 2023 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE:
MPW) today announced the closing of the sale of its four remaining
Australian facilities to HMC Capital at a 5.7% cash cap rate for
around AUD$470 million (approximately $305 million), which will be
used to reduce the balance of MPT’s revolving credit facility and
to increase cash availability. The Company has also repurchased
since the end of the second quarter, in a series of open market
transactions, approximately £50 million of its 2.550% Unsecured
Notes due in December 2023 at a repurchase yield averaging almost
13%. Following these actions, MPT maintains approximately $950
million of immediate liquidity, which is sufficient to address all
remaining 2023 and 2024 debt maturities before considering
anticipated dividend savings and expected proceeds from the sale of
three Connecticut facilities leased to Prospect.
