The borrowings were arranged by Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company, LLC, and insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Loan proceeds will be primarily deployed to pay down previously drawn amounts on Ensign's revolving line of credit.
"These new long-term, fixed-rate borrowings represent an important pillar in our capital structure, providing us liquidity on a portion of the real estate we own during a period of historically-low interest rates," said Suzanne Snapper, Ensign's Chief Financial Officer. "We appreciate the collaboration of our lending partners and look forward to exploring additional opportunities to leverage the significant upside in the remainder of our owned-asset portfolio," she added.
Ms. Snapper confirmed that in addition to refinancing existing borrowings, the proceeds of the HUD-insured debt will be used to fund acquisitions, to renovate and upgrade existing and future facilities, to cover working capital needs and for other business purposes.
