Medical Properties Trust Announces Private Offering of Senior Secured Notes

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the "Company" or "MPT") (NYSE:MPW) today announced that its operating partnership, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. and MPT Finance Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the operating partnership (together, the "Issuers") have commenced a private offering of up to $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its senior secured notes due 2032 and €500 million aggregate principal amount of its senior secured notes due 2032 (together, the "Notes"). The Issuers intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes to fund the redemption in full of the Issuers' 3.325% senior notes due 2025, 2.500% senior notes due 2026 and 5.250% senior notes due 2026, including related accrued interest, fees and expenses. The Issuers intend to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying other indebtedness, including amounts outstanding from time-to-time under the Company's revolving credit facility, working capital, capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis by the Company and its collateral-owning subsidiaries, in addition to any other subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Company's senior credit facilities and any U.S. domestic restricted subsidiaries that in the future borrow under or guarantee borrowings under the Company's senior credit facilities. The Notes and the guarantees thereof will be secured by first-priority liens on equity of the Company's subsidiaries that, as of the date hereof, directly own or ground lease a diversified pool of 167 properties with 19 different operators in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. Concurrent with closing the Notes, the Company expects to enter into an amendment to its senior revolving credit and term loan agreement to cause the senior revolving credit facility and senior term loan facility to share in the collateral and guarantees on a pro rata basis and to make certain other amendments with respect to the financial covenants.

The offering of the Notes and the related guarantees will be made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers," as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
