Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosures contained in “Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets” of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 29, 2017, affiliates of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”, and together with the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, “we” or “our”) completed the previously announced acquisition of the real estate interests of ten acute care hospitals and one behavioral health facility from IASIS Healthcare LLC (“IASIS”), along with ancillary land and buildings, for a combined purchase price and investment of approximately $1.4 billion. The portfolio is now operated by Steward Health Care System LLC (“Steward”), which separately completed its merger transaction with IASIS on September 29, 2017.

Specifically, pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement with IASIS and its affiliates, dated May 18, 2017, we acquired from IASIS and its affiliates all of their interests in the real estate of eight acute care hospitals and one behavioral health facility, along with ancillary land and buildings, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $700 million. At closing, these facilities were leased to Steward pursuant to the existing master lease agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we made mortgage loans in an aggregate amount of approximately $700 million, secured by first mortgages in two acute care hospitals. The real estate master lease and mortgage loans have substantially similar terms, which have an initial fixed term expiration of October 31, 2031 and includes three 5-year extension options, plus annual inflation protected escalators. The initial GAAP yield for the properties under the master lease is approximately 10.2% per annum.
