News Release

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 25, 2017-- Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) announced today that it has priced its underwritten public offering of 37,500,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $13.25 per share. The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,625,000 shares of its common stock. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $476.0 million, or approximately $547.6 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cash purchase price payable by MPT in connection with its acquisition of eight hospitals in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania from Steward Health Care System LLC (the “Steward Transactions”), the purchase of two acute care hospitals located in the Ohio Valley Region from Alecto Healthcare Services LLC (the “Alecto Acquisition”), the purchase of the St. Joseph Medical Center in Lewiston, Idaho, and Lourdes Health in Pasco, Washington, from RCCH HealthCare Partners (the “RCCH Acquisition”), with the balance of the net proceeds to be used to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company may use any remaining net proceeds from this offering to partially fund the contractual purchase price for any potential transactions that it consummates in the future. This offering is not conditioned upon the successful completion of the Steward Transactions, the Alecto Acquisition, the RCCH Acquisition or the previously announced acquisition of assets from affiliates of Median Kliniken S.à.r.l. (“the “New MEDIAN Transactions”). Pending such use, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from the offering in short-term interest-bearing securities.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., BofA Merrill Lynch, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Barclays, Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan, RBC Capital Markets, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, and Wells Fargo Securities acted as joint book running managers for the offering; BBVA, Credit Agricole CIB, MUFG, Scotiabank and Stifel acted as co-lead managers.

The offering is expected to close on May 1, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.
