Omega Accused of Misleading Investors About Its Financial Condition

According to the complaint, Omega's second largest operator, Orianna Health Systems, represented 7% of Omega's overall investment portfolio, with a gross investment of over $619 million. In 2016 and early 2017, Orianna experienced operational pressures that dramatically affected its profitability and prevented it from paying rent to Omega. Although Orianna was delinquent on rent payments in addition to its own real estate taxes, Omega told investors that Orianna was on the road to recovery and lent Orianna money to pay its rent delinquencies to Omega. The truth was finally revealed when Omega recorded a $194.7 million impairment on its direct financing leases with Orianna, and $9.5 million in provision for uncollectible accounts related to Orianna. On this news, Omega's stock fell nearly 7% to close at $28.86 per share on October 31, 2017.
