Item 7. — Regulation FD

 

LTC Properties, Inc. (Registrant) currently has twenty-two (22) leases with Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (ASLC) that cover thirty-seven (37) assisted living properties owned by Registrant.  These 37 properties represented, at June 30, 2004, approximately 13.1%, or $71,382,000, of Registrant’s total assets net of $16,723,000 of accumulated depreciation.

 

On  May 28, 2004, ASLC announced that it was engaging a financial advisor to explore various strategic alternatives available to ASLC.

 

Registrant’s 22 leases contain a provision whereby should there be a Change of Control (as defined in the leases) of ASLC and the surviving entity does not have a Net Worth (as defined in the leases) equal to or greater than Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000.00) the Registrant shall have the right to declare an Event of Default.

 

Should the shareholders of ASLC agree to a transaction that would not comply with the Change of Control provisions of the leases, Registrant believes that it may elect to declare a default under the leases and would need to enter into a new lease or leases with one or more new tenants.

 

As a result, Registrant has engaged Cohen & Steers, Capital Advisors, LLC to identify and distribute to a select list of potential lessees an Information Memorandum that details certain specific information for the 37 properties.  A copy of this Information Memorandum, showing annualized cash flow for these 37 properties of $5,400,000 after proposed rent, prior to management fees or corporate overhead is furnished as Exhibit 7.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  The cash flow data in the Information Memorandum was provided to the Registrant by the current tenant and was not independently verified by the Registrant.  Such information shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
