A: The $90 million increase was due to additional primary professional fee costs not related to MPT or the new operators for the transitions. Some operators already have replacement ABLs, and others are expected to complete them by early 2025. These are short-term loans, expected to be repaid within 2025. - Edward Aldag, CEO
Q: Can you provide an update on the PHP sale and explain the write-down in PHP this quarter?
A: The write-down is based on the most recent reliable information available. We can't comment further on the status of ongoing confidential negotiations among the buyers and seller, which is PHP. - R. Steven Hamner, CFO
Q: What is the earnings impact of the Steward assets that have not yet been transitioned?
A: These assets include facilities that are either closed or still operated by Steward, so they shouldn't have any additional negative impact on MPT. - Edward Aldag, CEO
Q: Where do you think you could issue new secured and unsecured debt today, and at what cost?
A: We are not contemplating issuing new debt right now. We believe yields on outstanding notes are improving due to better macroeconomic conditions and resolution of Steward issues. - R. Steven Hamner, CFO
Q: What are your early thoughts on the 2025 term loan maturity? Will you extend it or pay it off with sales?
A: We have options due to our liquidity, which allows us flexibility to either extend, partially extend, or pay off the term loan. Anticipated transactions will provide further optionality. - R. Steven Hamner, CFO
