5 terms

non-recourse financial

"non-recourse first lien mortgages on 13 communities"

A non-recourse loan is a type of debt where the lender’s recovery is limited to a specific asset pledged as collateral, and the borrower cannot be personally pursued for any remaining balance if the asset’s value falls short. For investors, non-recourse financing shifts downside risk onto the lender and protects a borrower’s other assets, which can affect a company’s risk profile, borrowing costs, and potential returns — much like insurance that covers only the item left as collateral.

first lien financial

"non-recourse first lien mortgages on 13 communities"

A first lien is a legal claim that gives a lender the top priority to be repaid from specific collateral if a borrower defaults or liquidates assets. Think of it as being first in line for the proceeds from a sale—investors who hold a first lien are more likely to recover their money than holders of later claims, so these loans generally carry lower risk and different pricing compared with unsecured or subordinated debt.

revolving credit agreement financial

"amended its revolving credit agreement with Capital One"

A revolving credit agreement is a flexible loan arrangement where a borrower can borrow, repay, and borrow again up to a set limit, similar to a credit card. It matters because it gives businesses or individuals quick access to funds whenever needed, helping manage cash flow and cover expenses without applying for a new loan each time.

sofr financial

"Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin"

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

applicable margin financial

"The applicable margin varies based on the percentage of the total commitment drawn"

Applicable margin is the extra percentage added to a base interest rate to calculate the actual interest a borrower pays on a floating-rate loan or credit line. Investors care because it directly affects a company’s borrowing cost—higher margins raise interest expense and reduce profit and cash flow, while lower margins make financing cheaper; think of it as a variable surcharge on a sale price that reflects the lender’s view of risk.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) ("Brookdale" or "the Company") announced today that the Company recently completed two financing transactions, proactively addressing another portion of its 2027 debt maturities while also expanding and extending its revolving credit agreement.

In June 2026, the Company obtained an aggregate of $188 million in loans from CBRE National Senior Housing through its Freddie Mac Optigo® loan origination program and repaid $200 million of outstanding mortgage debt secured by 22 communities previously scheduled to mature in 2027. The new loans are secured by non-recourse first lien mortgages on 13 communities, bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.97%, are interest only for the first five years, and mature in 2036.

In June 2026, the Company also amended its revolving credit agreement with Capital One, National Association acting as Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger, Ally Bank as Documentation Agent, and CIBC Bank USA as a participating lender. The amended agreement provides an expanded commitment of up to $200 million, representing up to a $100 million increase from the existing facility. Available capacity under the facility will vary from time to time based upon certain calculations related to the appraised value and performance of the communities securing the credit facility, as well as the variable interest rate of the credit facility.

The amended credit facility matures in April 2029, with options to extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on the percentage of the total commitment drawn, with a 2.50% margin at utilization lower than 50% and a 2.25% margin at utilization equal to or greater than 50%.

"We are pleased to have successfully and proactively refinanced an additional portion of our 2027 mortgage debt on attractive financial terms, extending our maturities while using fewer communities in the collateral pool," said Dawn Kussow, Brookdale's Chief Financial Officer. "Additionally, the expanded and extended revolving credit facility reflects the continued confidence our banking partners have in Brookdale's strategy, performance, and long-term prospects. We are thankful to each of these financial partners for their continued support."
