STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, tenants, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential investments, plans and objectives for future operations, and compliance with and changes in governmental regulations. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:


•	changes in healthcare regulation and political or economic conditions;


•	the anticipated benefits of our merger with Care Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) may not be realized;


•	the anticipated and unanticipated costs, fees, expenses and liabilities related to our merger with CCP;


•	our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;


•	our ability to implement the previously announced rent repositioning program for certain of our tenants who were legacy tenants of CCP on the timing or terms we have previously disclosed;


•	our ability to dispose of facilities currently leased to Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) on the timing or terms we have previously disclosed;


•	the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness;


•	covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, make investments, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms;


•	increases in market interest rates;


•	changes in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	our ability to raise capital through equity and debt financings;


•	the impact of required regulatory approvals of transfers of healthcare properties;


•	the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;


•	competitive conditions in our industry;


•	the loss of key management personnel or other employees;


•	the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;


•	the effect of our tenants declaring bankruptcy or becoming insolvent;


•	uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;


•	the impact of a failure or security breach of information technology in our operations;


•	our ability to find replacement tenants and the impact of unforeseen costs in acquiring new properties;


•	the possibility that the conditions to closing the acquisition of a 49% equity interest in the Enlivant Joint Ventures (as defined below) may not be satisfied, such that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed;


•	the possibility that Sabra may not acquire the remaining majority interest in the Enlivant Joint Ventures;


•	our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);


•	changes in tax laws and regulations affecting REITs;


•	compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax and tax regulatory matters related to our status as a REIT; and


•	the ownership limits and anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and Maryland law, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities.

We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (our “ 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking

statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BUSINESS

Overview

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010 following Sabra's separation from Sun (the “Separation Date”). Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. Sabra believes that it has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra primarily generates revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner and Sabra's wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s investment portfolio is comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing communities and specialty hospitals and other facilities, in each case leased to third-party operators; senior housing communities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Senior Housing - Managed”); investments in loans receivable; and preferred equity investments.

On May 7, 2017, the Company, the Operating Partnership, PR Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Care Capital Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCP”), and Care Capital Properties, L.P. (“CCPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of CCP, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on August 17, 2017, CCP merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “CCP Merger”), following which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Subsequent Merger”), and, simultaneous with the Subsequent Merger, CCPLP merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the CCP Merger, each share of CCP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CCP Merger (other than shares of CCP common stock owned directly by CCP, the Company or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into the right to receive 1.123 newly issued shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” for additional information regarding the CCP Merger.

The acquisition of CCP has been reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the CCP Merger.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 .

for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC.

GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through voting rights or other means and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. If the Company were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company would consolidate investments in the VIE. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE due to events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity's equity investments at risk and the disposal of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of two variable interest entities—a senior housing community and an exchange accommodation titleholder variable interest entity—and has consolidated the operations of these entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company determined that operations of these entities were not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

As it relates to investments in loans, in addition to the Company's assessment of VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs, the Company evaluates the loan terms and other pertinent facts to determine if the loan investment should be accounted for as a loan or as a real estate joint venture. If an investment has the characteristics of a real estate joint venture, including if the Company participates in the majority of the borrower's expected residual profit, the Company would account for the investment as an investment in a real estate joint venture and not as a loan investment. Expected residual profit is defined as the amount of profit, whether called interest or another name, such as an equity kicker, above a reasonable amount of interest and fees expected to be earned by a lender. At September 30, 2017 , none of the Company's investments in loans are accounted for as real estate joint ventures.

As it relates to investments in joint ventures, the Company assesses any limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by any single partner. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.The Company reassesses its determination of which entity controls the joint venture if: there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of any partners or members, the sole general partner or managing member increases or decreases its ownership interests, or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding ownership interests. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company's determination of which entity controls its investments in joint ventures has not changed as a result of any reassessment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company's consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income.

Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had a $22.9 million net investment in one skilled nursing/transitional care facility leased to an operator under a direct financing lease, as the tenant is obligated to purchase the property at the end of the

Table of Contents

lease term. The net investment in direct financing lease is recorded in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents the total undiscounted rental payments (including the tenant's purchase obligation), plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, less the unearned lease income. Unearned lease income represents the excess of the minimum lease payments and residual values over the cost of the investment. Unearned lease income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease term to provide a constant yield when collectability of the lease payments is reasonably assured. Income from the Company's net investment in direct financing lease was $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and is reflected in interest and other income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Future minimum lease payments contractually due under the direct financing lease at September 30, 2017 , were as follows: $0.5 million for the remainder of 2017; $2.2 million for 2018; $2.2 million for 2019; $2.3 million for 2020; and $2.1 million for 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

Between May 2014 and May 2016, the FASB issued three Accounting Standards Updates (each, an “ASU”) changing the requirements for recognizing and reporting revenue (together, herein referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”): (i) ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), (ii) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”) and (iii) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-08 is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-12 provides practical expedients and improvements on the previously narrow scope of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. All subsequent ASUs related to ASU 2014-09, including ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-12, assumed the deferred effective date enforced by ASU 2015-14. Early adoption of the Revenue ASUs is permitted for annual periods, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2016. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in the Revenue ASUs using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or full retrospective approach. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing and financing arrangements, which are excluded from the Revenue ASUs, the Company expects that the impact of the Revenue ASUs to the Company will be limited to the recognition of non-lease revenue, such as certain resident fees in its Senior Housing - Managed properties structures (a portion of which are not generated through leasing arrangements) ), and its recognition of real estate sale transactions. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition for real estate sales is primarily based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under current guidance. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the new guidance will result in more transactions qualifying as sales of real estate and gains on sale being recognized at an earlier date than under current accounting guidance. Additionally, upon adoption of the Revenue ASUs in 2018, the Company anticipates that it will be required to separately disclose the components of its total revenue between lease revenue accounted for under existing lease guidance and service revenue accounted for under the new Revenue ASUs, but does not anticipate a material change in the timing of revenue recognition. The Company has not yet elected a transition method and is evaluating the complete impact of the adoption of the Revenue ASUs on January 1, 2018 to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures. The Company expects to complete its evaluation of the impacts of the Revenue ASUs during the fourth quarter of 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 supersedes guidance related to accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 updates guidance around the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. ASU 2016-02 does not fundamentally change lessor accounting; however, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. When substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To be a business without outputs, there will now need to be an organized workforce. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those

Table of Contents

years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on October 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The Company expects that the majority of its future acquisitions of real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the new guidance. This adoption will impact how the Company accounts for merger and acquisition costs and contingent consideration, which may result in lower expensed merger and acquisition costs and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

3. CCP MERGER AND RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

CCP Merger

On August 17, 2017, the Company completed the CCP Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of CCP common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CCP Merger (other than any shares owned directly by CCP, the Company or their respective subsidiaries, in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into the right to receive 1.123 newly issued shares of Company common stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 94.0 million shares of Company common stock at the effective time of the CCP Merger. As a result of the CCP Merger, the Company acquired 330 properties (consisting of 296 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, 13 senior housing communities and 21 specialty hospitals and other facilities), one skilled nursing/transitional care facility leased to an operator under a direct financing lease (see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease”), 18 investments in loans receivable (see Note 6, “Loans Receivable and Other Investments”) and one specialty valuation firm. Sabra also assumed certain outstanding equity awards and other debt and liabilities of CCP (see Note 7, “Debt”). Based on the closing price of Sabra’s common stock on August 16, 2017, the Company estimates the fair value of the consideration exchanged or assumed to be approximately $2.1 billion . The Company’s estimated fair values of CCP’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of the CCP Merger are determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed below, are preliminary and are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

⁽¹⁾	During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company transitioned nine senior housing communities into a managed property structure whereby the Company owns the operations of the communities and the communities are operated by a third-party property manager.

Contingent Consideration Arrangements

In connection with three of its prior real estate acquisitions, the Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements pursuant to which it could be required to pay out additional amounts based on incremental value created through the improvement of operations of the applicable acquired facility (a contingent consideration liability). The estimated value of the contingent consideration liabilities at the time of purchase was $3.2 million . The contingent consideration amounts would be determined based on portfolio performance and the facility achieving certain performance hurdles during 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing communities to Senior Housing - Managed properties. To determine the value of the remaining contingent consideration arrangement, the Company used significant inputs not observable in the market to estimate the contingent consideration, made assumptions regarding the probability of the facility achieving the incremental value and then applied an appropriate discount rate. As of September 30, 2017 , based on the performance of this facility, the contingent consideration liability had an estimated value of $0.3 million , which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recorded an increase of $0.3 million and a decrease of $0.6 million , respectively, to the contingent consideration liability. These amounts are included in other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Operating Leases

As of September 30, 2017 , the substantial majority of the Company’s real estate properties (excluding 11 Senior Housing - Managed properties) were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from one to 15 years. As of September 30, 2017 , the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of nine years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. In addition, the Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of letters of credit and security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $35.6 million as of September 30, 2017 and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2016 . As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had a $3.5 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $2.8 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had a $3.2 million reserve for unpaid cash rents and a $3.7 million reserve associated with accumulated straight-line rental income.

The following table provides information regarding significant tenant relationships representing 10% or more of the Company's total revenues as of September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):



		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2017
	Number of Investments	Rental Revenue		% of Total Revenue		Rental Revenue		% of Total Revenue

Holiday AL Holdings, LP	21	9,813		8.8		29,438		12.3

The Company has entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities (the “MOU Disposition Facilities”). As of September 30, 2017 , the Company completed the sale of two of the MOU Disposition Facilities, and subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of two additional MOU Disposition Facilities. The Company has also entered into a definitive agreement to sell an additional 20 MOU Disposition Facilities, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company expects the remaining MOU Disposition Facilities to be sold by the end of the first quarter of 2018, though there can be no assurance that the sales will be completed in that timeframe, if at all. The Company has also begun the process of marketing for sale up to all of the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis, with sales expected to occur in 2018 .

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenant’s ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenant’s lease coverage ratio or the parent’s fixed charge coverage ratio for those entities with a parent guarantee. These coverage ratios include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) to rent and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) to rent at the lease level and consolidated EBITDAR to total fixed charges at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists. The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to identify financial and operational trends, evaluate the impact of the industry’s operational and financial environment (including the impact of government reimbursement), and evaluate the management of the tenant’s operations. These metrics help the Company identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants’ credit quality and ultimately the tenant’s ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.

5. ASSET HELD FOR SALE AND DISPOSITIONS

Asset Held for Sale

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company determined that one skilled nursing/transitional care facility, with a net book value of $2.0 million , met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The net book value is included in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2017 Dispositions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company completed the sale of four skilled nursing/transitional care facilities for aggregate consideration of $11.7 million . The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities was $7.1 million , which resulted in an aggregate $4.6 million net gain on sale.

2016 Dispositions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company completed the sale of two skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and one acute care hospital for aggregate consideration of $85.4 million after selling expenses of $2.3 million . The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities, after the impairment loss of $29.8 million recognized in relation to the acute care hospital, was $88.6 million , resulting in an aggregate $3.2 million loss on sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recognized $0.3 million of net income, excluding the net gain on sale, from the asset held for sale and the dispositions made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company recognized $38,000 of net income, excluding the net loss on sale and real estate impairment, from the dispositions made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . The sale of these facilities do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results and therefore the results of operations attributable to these facilities have remained in continuing operations.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On January 14, 2016, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”) entered into a third amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”).

The Prior Credit Facility included a revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) and U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans (collectively, the “Prior Term Loans”). The Prior Revolving Credit Facility provided for a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and, in addition, provided for U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar term loans of $245.0 million and CAD $125.0 million , respectively. Further, up to $125.0 million of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility could be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Prior Credit Facility also contained an accordion feature that allowed for an increase in the total available borrowings to $1.25 billion , subject to terms and conditions. In addition, the Canadian dollar term loan was re-designated as a net investment hedge (see Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information).

The Prior Revolving Credit Facility had a maturity date of January 14, 2020, and included two six -month extension options. The Prior Term Loans had a maturity date of January 14, 2021.

Borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the

Table of Contents

greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% , (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings varied based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Prior Credit Facility, and ranged from 1.80% to 2.40% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.80% to 1.40% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. In addition, the Operating Partnership paid an unused facility fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% or 0.30% per annum, which was determined by usage under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.

The Prior Term Loans bore interest as follows: the U.S. dollar term loan bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate (the applicable percentage varied based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Prior Credit Facility, and ranged from 1.75% to 2.35% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.75% to 1.35% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate); and the Canadian dollar term loan bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (“CDOR”) plus 1.75% to 2.35% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

Effective on August 17, 2017, the Borrowers, Sabra and the other parties thereto entered into a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amends and restates the Prior Credit Facility. The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending and restating the Prior Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Credit Facility includes a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), $1.1 billion in U.S. dollar term loans and a CAD $125 million Canadian dollar term loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”). Further, up to $175 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion , subject to terms and conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 17, 2021, and includes two six -month extension options. $200 million of the U.S. dollar Term Loans has a maturity date of August 17, 2020, and the other Term Loans have a maturity date of August 17, 2022.

As of September 30, 2017 , there was $251.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $749.0 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. On August 17, 2017, Sabra’s ratings met the Investment Grade Ratings Criteria (as defined in the credit agreement), and Sabra elected to use the ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings which will vary based on the Debt Ratings (as defined in the credit agreement) and will range from 0.875% to 1.65% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.65% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of September 30, 2017 , the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.47% . In addition, the Operating Partnership pays a facility fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum based on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility regardless of amounts outstanding thereunder.

The U.S. dollar Term Loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. The ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings will vary based on the Debt Ratings, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.90% to 1.90% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.90% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Canadian dollar term loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to CDOR plus an interest margin that will range from 0.90% to 1.90% depending on the Debt Ratings.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million of its Canadian term loan at 1.59% . In addition, CAD $90.0 million of the Canadian dollar term loan was designated as a net investment hedge. On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $245.0 million of its U.S. dollar Term Loan at 0.90% and one interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion on CAD $35.0 million of its Canadian dollar term loan at 0.93% . See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.

As a result of the CCP Merger (see Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions”), the Company assumed eight interest rate swap agreements that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $600 million of the Company’s U.S. dollar Term Loans at a weighted average rate of 1.31% . See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business

Table of Contents

activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Interest Expense

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of $24.6 million and $56.2 million , respectively, and $15.8 million and $49.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. Interest expense includes financing costs amortization of $1.6 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, and $1.3 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company had $15.4 million and $ 13.8 million , respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value in the Company’s functional currency, the U.S. dollar, of the Company’s investment in foreign operations, the cash receipts and payments related to these foreign operations and payments of interest and principal under Canadian dollar denominated debt. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value of its foreign investments and fix a portion of the interest payments for certain debt obligations. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Approximately $3.5 million of losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as of September 30, 2017 , are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. In 2016 the

Table of Contents

Company terminated its interest rate cap, generating cash proceeds of $0.3 million . The balance of the loss in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings through 2019.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in Canada. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on these foreign investments.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default on the derivative obligation if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had no derivatives with a fair value in a net liability position.

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Financial Instruments

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Credit Facility are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:

Loans receivable : These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair values of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, as well as the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements as applicable. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Preferred equity investments : These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair values of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Derivative instruments : The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments, including its interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps, using the assistance of a third party using inputs that are observable in the market, which include forward yield curves and other relevant information. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Senior Notes : These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums/discounts and not at fair value. The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 2.

Secured indebtedness : These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and premiums/discounts and not at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s secured debt were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Table of Contents

The following are the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	Face value represents amounts contractually due under the terms of the respective agreements.


⁽²⁾	Carrying amount represents the book value of financial instruments, including unamortized premiums/discounts and deferred financing costs.

The Company determined the fair value of financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):



			Fair Value Measurements Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Financial assets:
Loans receivable	$	97,722	$	—	$	—	$	97,722
Preferred equity investments	52,926		—		—		52,926
Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	1,341,106		—		1,341,106		—
Secured indebtedness	248,041		—		—		248,041

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recorded the following amounts measured at fair value (in thousands):



			Fair Value Measurements Using

The Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements as a result of three acquisitions of real estate (see Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , one earn-out arrangement expired and resulted in a $0 payout and a second earn-out arrangement was terminated in connection with the transition of the eight senior housing communities to Senior Housing - Managed properties.

10. EQUITY

Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5.8 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. At September 30, 2017 , there were no dividends in arrears.

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date, but the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock on or after March 21, 2018, for $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 21, 2018, in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT or pursuant to a specified change of control. Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control (which did not include the CCP Merger), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to $25.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, but not to exceed a cap of 1.7864 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to certain adjustments).

Common Stock

As a result of the CCP Merger completed on August 17, 2017, the Company issued approximately 94.0 million shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of CCP common stock and shares underlying share-based awards assumed by the Company outstanding as of the effective time of the CCP Merger.

On September 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 16.0 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds, before expenses, of $322.6 million from the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 16.0 million shares of common stock, at a price of $21.00 per share. These proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional shares, and on October 2, 2017, the Company issued an additional 2.4 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement at a price of $21.00 per share, resulting in additional net proceeds, before expenses, of $48.4 million .

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 :



Declaration Date	Record Date	Amount Per Share			Dividend Payable Date
February 3, 2017	February 15, 2017	$	0.42		February 28, 2017
May 8, 2017	May 18, 2017	$	0.43		May 31, 2017
August 2, 2017	August 16, 2017	$	0.3598913	⁽¹⁾	August 18, 2017

⁽¹⁾ Represents the previous full quarter dividend of $0.43 per share, prorated based on the time from the prior dividend payable date of May 31, 2017 through August 16, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company issued 0.1 million shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings and in connection with amounts payable under the Company's 2016 Bonus Plan pursuant to an election by certain participants to receive their bonus in the form of an equity award.

Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the related tax withholding obligation will generally be satisfied by the Company, reducing the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related applicable tax withholding obligation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company incurred $2.8 million in tax withholding obligations on behalf of its employees that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

In connection with the offerings of the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes by the Issuers, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. In connection with the assumption of the 2026 Notes as a result of the CCP Merger (see Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions”), the Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2026 Notes, subject to release under certain circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes in the event of:


•	Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;


•	A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;


•	A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes;


•	The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes have been satisfied;


•	A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2023 Notes, of a subsidiary Guarantor; or


•	The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.

The Company will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the 2026 Notes in the event of:


•	A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes;


•	A merger or consolidation, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor; or


•	The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indenture governing the 2026 Notes have been satisfied.

This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company does not expect that compliance with existing environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In addition, subsequent to its entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company, the Operating Partnership and Merger Sub were named, in addition to CCP and each member of CCP’s board of directors (collectively, “CCP Defendants”), in two putative class action lawsuits ( Loeb v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al ., Case No. 1:17-cv-00866-UNA (D. Del. June 30, 2017), and Klein v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Case No 1:99-mc-09999 (D. Del. July 10, 2017)) filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Four other related actions have been filed against only the CCP Defendants, three in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ( Gordon v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:17-cv-00859-LPS; Vineyard v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:17-cv-00878-LPS; and Parrish v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:17-cv-00909-LPS) and one in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ( Douglas v. Care Capital Properties, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:17-cv-04942). The lawsuits all sought to recover under federal securities laws on the basis that the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement filed by the

Table of Contents

Company with the SEC purportedly omitted to disclose information necessary to make the statements therein not materially false or misleading. The lawsuits sought, among other things, an injunction of the CCP Merger; dissemination of a revised registration statement; declarations that the registration statement violated federal securities laws; damages, including rescissory damages; and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. On July 25, 2017, the five actions filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware were consolidated under the lead-case caption In re Care Capital Properties, Inc. Shareholder Litigation , Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-00859-LPS. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the lawsuits were dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs. The Company expects that any award of attorneys’ fees payable by the Company to the plaintiffs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Dividend Declaration

On November 1, 2017 , the Company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.5201087 per share of common stock, which consists of (i) a full quarter dividend of $0.45 per share and (ii) $0.0701087 per share, which is the difference between the prorated dividend paid on August 18, 2017 and the Company's previous full quarter dividend of $0.43 per share. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2017 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2017 .

On November 1, 2017 , the Company also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2017 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2017 .

Common Stock Issuance

On October 2, 2017, in connection with the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares, the Company issued 2.4 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, at a price

of $21.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds, before expenses, of $48.4 million . See Note 10, “Equity.”

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those which are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Also see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is organized as follows:


•	Overview


•	Critical Accounting Policies


•	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update


•	Results of Operations


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources


•	Concentration of Credit Risk


•	Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates


•	Obligations and Commitments


•	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Overview

We operate as a self-administered, self-managed REIT that, through our subsidiaries, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.

Our primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector using triple-net operating leases. We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to tenants and operators throughout the United States and Canada.

Our investment portfolio is comprised of skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, senior housing communities and specialty hospitals and other facilities, in each case leased to third-party operators; senior housing communities operated by third-party property managers pursuant to property management agreements (“Senior Housing - Managed”); investments in loans receivable; and preferred equity investments.

Following the completion of our merger with Care Capital Properties, Inc., we expect to continue to grow our investment portfolio while diversifying our portfolio by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in healthcare real estate. We may also achieve our objective of diversifying our portfolio by tenant and asset class through select asset sales and other arrangements with Genesis and other tenants. We have entered into memoranda of understanding with Genesis to market for sale 35 skilled nursing facilities (the “MOU Disposition Facilities”). As of September 30, 2017 , we completed the sale of two of the MOU Disposition Facilities, and subsequent to September 30, 2017, we completed the sale of two additional MOU Disposition Facilities. We have also entered into a definitive agreement to sell an additional 20 MOU Disposition Facilities, which we expect to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. We expect the remaining MOU Disposition Facilities to be sold by the end of the first quarter of 2018, though there can be no assurance that the sales will be completed in that timeframe, if at all. We have also begun the process of marketing for sale up to all of the remaining 43 facilities leased to Genesis, with sales expected to occur in 2018 . We believe that a significant reduction in our facilities leased to Genesis will ultimately improve our portfolio by reducing our exposure from the remaining skilled nursing operator in our portfolio that does not fit our preferred profile to an immaterial level.

We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of assisted living, independent living and memory care communities in the United States and Canada and through the acquisition of skilled nursing/transitional care and behavioral health facilities in the United States. We have and expect to continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate, originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities and invest in the development of senior housing communities and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. We also expect to expand our portfolio through the development of purpose-built healthcare facilities through pipeline agreements and other arrangements with select developers. We further expect to work with existing operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may

Table of Contents

involve replacing, renovating or expanding facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in Senior Housing - Managed properties, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing communities and skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. We also expect to continue to enhance the strength of our investment portfolio by selectively disposing of underperforming facilities or working with new or existing operators to transfer underperforming, but promising properties to new operators.

With respect to our debt and preferred equity investments, in general, we originate loans and make preferred equity investments when an attractive investment opportunity is presented and either (a) the property is in or near the development phase or (b) the development of the property is completed but the operations of the facility are not yet stabilized. A key component of our strategy related to loan originations and preferred equity investments is our having the option to purchase the underlying real estate that is owned by our borrowers (and that directly or indirectly secures our loan investments) or by the entity in which we have an investment. These options become exercisable upon the occurrence of various criteria, such as the passage of time or the achievement of certain operating goals, and the method to determine the purchase price upon exercise of the option is set in advance based on the same valuation methods we use to value our investments in healthcare real estate. This strategy allows us to diversify our revenue streams and build relationships with operators and developers, and provides us with the option to add new properties to our existing real estate portfolio if we determine that those properties enhance our investment portfolio and stockholder value at the time the options are exercisable.

We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.

We elected to be treated as a REIT with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. We operate through an umbrella partnership, commonly referred to as an UPREIT structure, in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in which we are the sole general partner and our wholly owned subsidiaries are currently the only limited partners, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Care Capital Properties, Inc. Merger

On May 7, 2017, Sabra, the Operating Partnership, PR Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Care Capital Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCP”), and Care Capital Properties, L.P. (“CCPLP”), a Delaware limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of CCP, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on August 17, 2017, CCP merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “CCP Merger”), following which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Subsequent Merger”), and, simultaneous with the Subsequent Merger, CCPLP merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity.

The acquisition of CCP has been reflected in our consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the CCP

Merger.

On September 7, 2017, Sabra announced its strategy to reposition the CCP portfolio, which includes a combination of lease modifications (including up to $33.5 million of reduction in rents), working capital advances, transitioning facilities to

other Sabra tenants and strategic sales or closures of underperforming facilities.

See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the CCP Merger.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we invested $393.1 million for the acquisition of 21 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities located in two states and one senior housing community located in Texas. See Note 3, “CCP Merger and Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these acquisitions.

In connection with the acquisition of the 21 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire two additional skilled nursing/transitional care facilities from the seller for a purchase price of $42.8 million; the acquisition is expected to occur by December 31, 2017 and is subject to customary conditions.

Dispositions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we completed the sale of four skilled nursing/transitional care facilities for aggregate consideration of $11.7 million . The net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of these facilities was $7.1 million , which resulted in an aggregate $4.6 million gain on sale.

Senior Housing - Managed Properties

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we terminated the lease of nine senior housing real estate investments in Canada and concurrently entered into a management agreement with Sienna Senior Living (“Sienna”), whereby we own the operations, through a wholly-owned foreign taxable REIT subsidiary, of the communities and the communities are operated by Sienna.

Credit Facility

Effective on August 17, 2017, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the Credit Facility (as defined below). See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements—Credit Facility.”

Enlivant Joint Ventures

On September 15, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with affiliates of Enlivant and TPG Real Estate, the real estate platform of TPG, to acquire a 49% equity interest in entities that collectively own 183 senior housing communities managed by Enlivant (the “Enlivant Joint Ventures”). We will pay $371.0 million for the 49% minority interest, which implies an aggregate portfolio value for the Enlivant Joint Ventures of $1.62 billion, inclusive of the outstanding indebtedness of $863 million for the portfolio. The joint venture agreements include an option for us to acquire the remaining majority interest in the Enlivant Joint Ventures during the first three years after the closing date and a right of first offer if TPG desires to sell its 51% interest. In addition, Sabra will have the right to designate three directors on the seven member boards of directors of the Enlivant Joint Ventures and will have other customary minority rights. The acquisition of the 49% equity interest in the Enlivant Joint Ventures, which is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals and lender consents, is expected to close by December 31, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results is included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning recently issued accounting standards updates.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2017 , our investment portfolio included 530 real estate properties held for investment, one asset held for sale, one investment in a direct financing lease, 24 investments in loans receivable, 13 preferred equity investments and one investment in a specialty valuation firm. As of September 30, 2016 , our investment portfolio included 182 real estate properties held for investment, 11 investments in loans receivable and 11 preferred equity investments. The increase in our investment portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the CCP Merger completed in August 2017. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods in comparison to the corresponding prior periods as a result of owning acquired investments for an entire period, the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments and completion of the CCP Merger. The results of operations presented are not directly comparable due to ongoing acquisition activity.

Comparison of results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the three months ended September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after July 1, 2016 .


⁽²⁾	Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 that is not a direct result of the CCP Merger and investments/dispositions made after July 1, 2016 .

Rental Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $100.1 million of rental income compared to $56.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The $43.3 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $43.1 million from properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $3.5 million from other properties acquired after July 1, 2016 , partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million from properties disposed of after July 1, 2016 and a decrease of $2.3 million due to the nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and contingent rental income may be derived from certain lease agreements. No material contingent rental income was derived during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income primarily consists of income earned on our loans receivable investments, preferred returns earned on our preferred equity investments and income on the direct financing lease. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $4.1 million of interest and other income compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase of $0.9 million is due to an increase of $2.0 million primarily related to interest

income from loan receivable investments, income from a direct finance lease and income from the specialty valuation firm acquired in the CCP Merger, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease from investments that were disposed after July 1, 2016.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $7.6 million of resident fees and services compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase of $5.6 million is primarily due to the nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed properties in March and May 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we incurred $25.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The $8.8 million net increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to an increase of $8.6 million related to the properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $0.7 million from other properties acquired after July 1, 2016 , partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million from properties disposed of after July 1, 2016 and a $0.2 million decrease from fully depreciated assets.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we incurred $24.6 million of interest expense compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The $8.8 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $3.7 million increase in interest expense related to two senior notes assumed in the CCP Merger (see Note 7, “Debt” for additional information), (ii) a $3.1 million increase in interest expense related to our U.S. term loans as a result of increasing U.S. term loan borrowings from $245.0 million to $1.1 billion in connection with the CCP Merger, (iii) a $1.4 million increase in interest expense related to the borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and (iv) a $0.5 million increase of non-cash interest expense related to our interest rate hedges.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $5.1 million of operating expenses compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 .

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, and other costs associated with asset management. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , general and administrative expenses were $12.9 million compared to $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The $8.0 million increase is primarily related to (i) $4.3 million of transition expenses for the CCP Merger primarily consisting of salaries and severance benefits, (ii) a $1.8 million increase in legal and professional fees primarily due to the management of the increased number of investments, (iii) $0.9 million in expenses incurred by our specialty valuation firm and (iv) a $0.7 million increase in payroll expenses related to the increased number of employees.

Merger and Acquisition Costs

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we incurred $23.3 million of merger and acquisition costs compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase of $22.2 million is due to costs related to the CCP Merger.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $5.1 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses. Of the $5.1 million provision, $2.9 million is due to an increase in loan loss reserves, $1.3 million is due to a reserve for other tenant-related receivables, $0.6 million is due to an increase in reserves on straight-line rental income and $0.3 million is due to an increase in reserves for cash rental income. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized $0.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts and loan losses, which is comprised of $0.5 million related to an increase in general reserves on straight-line rental income and $0.3 million related to an increase in loan loss reserves, partially offset by a $0.3 million recovery on previously reserved cash rents.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with amending the Prior Credit Facility. We did not recognize any loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2016 .

Other Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $0.1 million of other income. The $0.1 million of other income is comprised of $0.4 million related to the amortization of lease termination payments related to a memorandum of understanding entered into with Genesis regarding five Genesis facilities (of which one was owned as of September 30, 2017 ), partially offset by $0.3 million of other expense as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a real estate property. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized $2.9 million of other income, of which $2.6 million related to lease termination payments related to the same memorandum of understanding with Genesis and $0.4 million related to an ineffectiveness gain related to our LIBOR interest rate swaps. These amounts were partially offset by $0.1 million of other expense as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of a portfolio of real estate properties.

Net Gain on Sales of Real Estate

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized an aggregate net gain on the sale of real estate of $ 0.6 million related to the disposition of three skilled nursing/transitional care facilities.

Rental Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $213.3 million of rental income compared to $167.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . The $45.8 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $43.1 million from properties acquired in the CCP Merger and an increase of $10.9 million from other properties acquired after January 1, 2016 , partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million from properties disposed of after January 1, 2016 and a decrease of $5.4 million due to the nine senior housing communities that were transitioned to Senior Housing - Managed properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and contingent rental income may be derived from certain lease agreements. No material contingent rental income was derived during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016 .

Interest and Other Income

See Note 5, “Dispositions” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from

Table of Contents

operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, non-cash interest income adjustments, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and merger and acquisition costs, as well as other non-cash revenue and expense items (including provisions and write-offs related to straight-line rental income, provision for loan losses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of debt premiums/discounts). We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017 , we had approximately $779.6 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $30.6 million (excluding joint venture cash and cash equivalents), and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $749.0 million . The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion (from U.S. $2.1 billion plus CAD $125.0 million ), subject to terms and conditions.

We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that expires in January 2020, which will allow us to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units, and certain of our subsidiaries to offer and sell debt securities, through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions.

On September 28, 2017, we completed an underwritten public offering of 16.0 million newly issued shares of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional shares, and on October 2, 2017, we issued an additional 2.4 million newly issued shares of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement. We received net proceeds, before expenses, of $370.9 million from the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 18.4 million shares of common stock, at a price of $21.00 per share. These proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to our Senior Notes, secured

Table of Contents

indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock, preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under our lease agreements and interest payments from borrowers under our loan investments. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest on borrowings and payment of general and administrative expenses, including merger and acquisition costs primarily related to the CCP Merger and corporate overhead.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , net cash used in investing activities was $303.1 million and consisted of $393.1 million used in the acquisition of 21 skilled nursing/transitional care facilities and one senior housing community, $5.6 million used to provide additional funding for existing loans receivable, $2.7 million used to fund preferred equity investments and $3.2 million used for tenant improvements, partially offset by $77.9 million in cash acquired in the CCP Merger, $11.7 million in sales proceeds related to the disposition of four skilled nursing/transitional care facilities, $8.7 million in repayments of loans receivable and $3.2 million in repayments of preferred equity investments.

We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments, loan originations and preferred equity investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $319.0 million in net proceeds from the September 2017 common stock offering less payroll tax payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements and $181.0 million in proceeds from the U.S. term loans, partially offset by $86.8 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $3.1 million of principal repayments of secured debt and $15.3 million of payments for deferred financing costs primarily associated with the new Credit Facility. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we repaid a net amount of $137.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Loan Agreements

2021 Notes. On January 23, 2014, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”), issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “Existing 2021 Notes”), providing net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

2026 and 2027 Notes. In connection with the CCP Merger, on August 17, 2017, Sabra assumed $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.38% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes and the 2026 Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Senior Notes, including information regarding the indentures and agreements governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”).

Credit Facility . Effective on August 17, 2017, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), Sabra and the other parties thereto entered into a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility includes a $1.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility, $1.1 billion in U.S. dollar term loans and a CAD $125 million Canadian dollar term loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”). Further, up to $175 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion , subject to terms and conditions.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

See Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Credit Facility, including information regarding covenants contained in the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017 , we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility.

Secured Indebtedness

Of our 530 properties held for investment, 30 are subject to secured indebtedness to third parties that, as of September 30, 2017 , totaled approximately $260.4 million . As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our secured debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



Interest Rate Type	Principal Balance as of September 30, 2017 ⁽¹⁾		Principal Balance as of December 31, 2016 ⁽¹⁾		Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate at September 30, 2017 ⁽²⁾		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	161,871	$	163,638	3.87	%	December 2021 - August 2051
Variable Rate	98,500		—		3.02	%	July 2019
	$	260,371	$	163,638	3.55	%


⁽¹⁾	Principal balance does not include deferred financing costs, net of $ 2.8 million and $2.9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.


⁽²⁾	Weighted average effective interest rate includes private mortgage insurance.

On August 17, 2017, in connection with the CCP Merger, we assumed a $98.5 million secured term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.80% and matures in July 2019.

Capital Expenditures

There were $3.2 million and $0.9 million of capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include $22,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of capital expenditures for corporate office needs. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $67.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $86.8 million on our common and preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . On November 1, 2017 , our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.5201087 per share of common stock, which consists of (i) a full quarter dividend of $0.45 per share and (ii) $0.0701087 per share, which is the difference between the prorated dividend paid on August 18, 2017 and our previous full quarter dividend of $0.43 per share. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2017 to common stockholders of record as of November 15, 2017 . Also on November 1, 2017 , our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2017 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2017 .

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.

Management believes our current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. Our portfolio of 530 real estate properties held for investment as of September 30, 2017 is diversified by location across the United States and Canada.

The following table provides information regarding significant tenant relationships representing 10% or more of our total revenues as of September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):



		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2017
	Number of Investments	Rental Revenue		% of Total Revenue		Rental Revenue		% of Total Revenue

Holiday AL Holdings, LP	21	9,813		8.8		29,438		12.3

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

A portion of our revenue is derived directly or indirectly from skilled nursing/transitional care facilities. Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. PPS regulations predetermine a payment amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.

The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group version IV (“RUG IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG IV resulted from research performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and was part of CMS's continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.

On July 31, 2017, CMS released final fiscal year 2018 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing an estimated net increase of 1.0% over fiscal year 2017 payments. The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2017. In its final rule, CMS also revised and rebased the market basket index by updating the base year from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2014.

On July 29, 2016, CMS released final fiscal year 2017 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 2.4% over fiscal year 2016 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.7% less the productivity adjustment of 0.3%). The new payment rates became effective on October 1, 2016.

On November 16, 2015, CMS finalized the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model, which began April 1, 2016 and holds hospitals accountable for the quality of care they deliver to Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries for hip and knee replacements and/or other major leg procedures from surgery through recovery. Through this payment model, hospitals in 67 geographic areas receive additional payments if quality and spending performance are strong or, if not, potentially have to repay Medicare for a portion of the spending for care surrounding a lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR) procedure. As a result, Medicare revenues derived at skilled nursing facilities related to lower extremity joint replacement hospital discharges could be positively or negatively impacted in those geographic areas identified by CMS for mandatory participation in the bundled payment program.

⁽¹⁾	Secured indebtedness includes principal payments and interest payments through the maturity dates. Total interest on secured indebtedness, based on contractual rates, is $84.0 million, of which $5.5 million is attributable to variable rate debt.


⁽²⁾	Revolving Credit Facility includes payments related to the facility fee due to the lenders based on the amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and also includes interest payments through the maturity date (assuming no exercise of its two six -month extension options). Total interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is $34.3 million.


⁽³⁾	Term Loans include interest payments through the applicable maturity dates totaling $146.4 million.


⁽⁴⁾	Senior Notes includes interest payments through the maturity dates. Total interest on the Senior Notes is $445.2 million .

In addition to the above, as of September 30, 2017 , we have committed to provide up to $13.5 million of future funding related to five loan receivable investments. The loan receivable investments have maturity dates ranging from January 2018 to February 2027.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, primarily related to adverse changes in interest rates and the exchange rate for Canadian dollars. We use derivative instruments in the normal course of business to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2017 , our indebtedness included $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, $260.4 million of secured indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own, $1.2 billion in Term Loans and $251.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017 , we had $1.5 billion of outstanding variable rate indebtedness. In addition, as of September 30, 2017 , we had $749.0 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings through interest rate swap agreements. As of September 30, 2017 , we had 10 interest rate swaps that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $845.0 million of LIBOR-based borrowings under the U.S. dollar Term Loans at a weighted average rate of 1.19% and two interest rate swaps that fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million and CAD $35.0 million of CDOR-based borrowings at 1.59% and 0.93% , respectively.

From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any investment by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness.

Assuming a 100 basis point increase/decrease in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt and after giving effect to the impact of interest rate swap derivative instruments, interest expense would increase/decrease by $6.0 million for the twelve months following September 30, 2017 .

Foreign currency risk. We are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates as a result of our investments in Canadian real estate. Our foreign currency exposure is partially mitigated through the use of Canadian dollar denominated debt totaling CAD $147.8 million and cross currency swap instruments. Based on our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , if the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% compared to the average exchange rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017 , our cash flows would have decreased or increased, as applicable, by $0.2 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On August 17, 2017, we completed the CCP Merger. We are continuing to integrate the acquired CCP operations into our overall internal control over financial reporting and will evaluate as part of our first internal control assessment that includes an

The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of any payment to eventually be made to the Grantee if and when such Stock Units vest and become earned pursuant to Section 2. The Stock Units create no fiduciary duty to the Grantee and shall create only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation to make payments, subject to vesting and the other terms and conditions hereof, as provided in Section 6 below. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. No assets have been secured or set aside by the Corporation with respect to the Award and, if amounts become payable to the Grantee pursuant to this Award Agreement, the Grantee’s rights with respect to such amounts shall be no greater than the rights of any general unsecured creditor of the Corporation.

2. Vesting . As set forth in the Grant Notice, this Award shall vest and become earned in percentage installments, subject to earlier termination or acceleration and subject to adjustment as provided herein and in the Plan. Except as expressly provided in the Grant Notice, no portion of the Award will be earned or vested (regardless of performance) unless the applicable time-based vesting requirement is satisfied. The Award may be subject to time and/or performance-based vesting conditions, as set forth in the Grant Notice. Continued service or employment will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights or benefits in connection with the end of a performance period to the extent the related performance condition(s) are not satisfied. If the Date of Grant of the Award is on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a particular month and the particular vesting installment is otherwise scheduled to occur in a month that has fewer days, the scheduled vesting date for that month will be deemed to be the last day of that month.

3. Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/Service Commitment . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Award Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a

OMM_US:75659958.2

termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 7 below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Award Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantee’s status, if he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantee’s other compensation. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Grantee under any written employment agreement with the Corporation.

4. Dividend and Voting Rights .

(a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Units . The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 4(b) hereof) and no voting rights with respect to the Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of such Stock Units, until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Grantee. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate evidencing the shares.

(b) Dividend Equivalent Reinvestment . As of each date that the Corporation pays an ordinary cash dividend on its outstanding Common Stock for which the related record date occurs after the Date of Grant and prior to the date all Stock Units subject to the Award have either been paid or have terminated, the Corporation shall credit the Grantee with an additional number of Stock Units equal to (a) the amount of the ordinary cash dividend paid by the Corporation on a single share of Common Stock on that date, multiplied by (b) the number of Stock Units subject to the Award outstanding and unpaid as of such record date (including any Stock Units previously credited under this Section 4(b) and with such total number subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan), divided by (c) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on that date. Any Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) will be subject to the same vesting, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Stock Units to which they relate. No crediting of Stock Units will be made pursuant to this Section 4(b) with respect to any Stock Units which, as of the related record date, have either been paid or have terminated.

5. Restrictions on Transfer . Prior to the time the Stock Units are vested and paid, neither the Stock Units comprising the Award nor any interest therein or amount payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6. Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units . Except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, the Stock Units subject to this Award Agreement that are then earned and vested shall be paid in an equivalent number of whole shares of Common Stock (with any fractional Stock Units credited in respect of the Stock Units that are paid rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock) within thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the five - year anniversary of the Date of Grant, (ii) the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service or (iii) the date of a Change in Control that occurs after 12/31/2017 and that also constitutes a “change in the ownership” of the Corporation, a “change in the effective control” of the Corporation, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Corporation, each within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each such payment of Stock Units shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 9 hereof and Section 8.5 of the Plan and

OMM_US:75659958.2

subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan and shall be in complete satisfaction of such earned and vested Stock Units. The Grantee or any other person entitled under the Plan to receive a payment of shares of Common Stock shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan.

7. Effect of Termination of Employment or Services . Except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, the Grantee’s Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become earned and vested upon the first date the Grantee is no longer employed by or providing services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of such employment or services, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If the Grantee is employed by a Subsidiary and that entity ceases to be a Subsidiary, such event shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of the Grantee for purposes of this Award Agreement, unless the Grantee otherwise continues to be employed by the Corporation or another of its Subsidiaries following such event. If the Grantee is not an employee or director of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the Administrator shall be the sole judge for purposes of this Award Agreement whether the Grantee continues to render services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary and the date, if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated. The Corporation shall have no obligation as to any Stock Units that are terminated pursuant to the Grant Notice or this Section 7.

8. Adjustments Upon Specified Events . Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporation’s stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan, the Administrator will make adjustments if appropriate in the number of Stock Units contemplated hereby and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award.

9. Tax Withholding . The Corporation shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Corporation or any of its affiliates may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting, payment or other event with respect to the Stock Units. Except for any employment taxes becoming due as a result of the vesting of any Stock Units, the Corporation shall withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in connection with the vesting or payment of the Stock Units at the then fair market value of the Common Stock (determined either as of the date of such withholding or as of the immediately preceding trading day, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion) to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations that arise with respect to the vesting or payment of such Stock Units. Except for any employment taxes becoming due as a result of the vesting of any Stock Units, the Corporation may take such action(s) without notice to the Grantee and shall remit to the Grantee the balance of any proceeds from withholding such shares in excess of the amount reasonably determined to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Grantee shall have no discretion as to the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in such manner. Upon the vesting of any Stock Units or if any withholding event occurs with respect to the Stock Units other than the vesting or payment of such units, or if the Corporation for any reason does not satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to the vesting or payment of the Stock Units as provided above in this Section 9, the Corporation shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Grantee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Grantee the amount of any such withholding obligations.

10. Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Award Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s last address reflected on the Corporation’s records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Grantee is no longer an employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to have been duly given by the Corporation when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed

OMM_US:75659958.2

as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

11. Plan . The Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement are subject to, and the Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. The Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and of this Award Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges reading and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Award Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Award Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.

12. Entire Agreement . This Award Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Award Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment to this Award Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

13. Counterparts . This Award Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14. Section Headings . The section headings of this Award Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

15. Governing Law . This Award Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder with respect to the Award shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

16. Clawback Policy . The Stock Units are subject to the terms of the Corporation’s recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Stock Units (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the Stock Units).

17. Six-Month Delay . Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any payment with respect to the Award in connection with the Grantee’s Separation from Service until the earlier of (a) the date which is six (6) months after the Grantee’s Separation from Service for any reason other than the Grantee’s death, or (b) the date of the Grantee’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Grantee following the Grantee’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 17 shall be paid as soon as practicable for the Corporation (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the Grantee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Grantee’s death). The provisions of this Section 17 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

OMM_US:75659958.2

18. Construction . It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
