HCR ManorCare, Inc. The Company acquired 334 post-acute, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in its 2011 transaction with HCR ManorCare Inc. (“HCRMC”) and entered into a triple-net Master Lease and Security Agreement (the “Master Lease”) with a subsidiary (“Lessee”) of HCRMC. As part of the Company’s fourth quarter 2015 review process, including its internal rating evaluation, it assessed the collectibility of all contractual rent payments under the HCRMC amended master lease (the “Amended Master Lease”). The Company’s evaluation included, but was not limited to, consideration of: (i) the continued decline in HCRMC’s operating performance and fixed charge coverage ratio during the second half of 2015, with the most significant deterioration occurring during the fourth quarter, (ii) the reduced growth outlook for the post-acute/skilled nursing business and (iii) HCRMC’s 2015 audited financial statements. The Company determined that the timing and amounts owed under the HCRMC DFL investments were no longer reasonably assured and assigned an internal rating of “Watch List” as of December 31, 2015. Further, the Company placed the HCRMC DFL investments on nonaccrual and utilizes the cash method of accounting in accordance with its policy. As a result of assigning an internal rating of “Watch List” for its HCRMC DFL investments during the quarterly review process, the Company further evaluated the carrying amount of its HCRMC DFL investments. As a result of the significant decline in HCRMC’s fixed charge coverage ratio in the fourth quarter of 2015, combined with a lower growth outlook for the post-acute/skilled nursing business, the Company determined that it was probable that its HCRMC DFL investments were impaired and the amount of the loss could be reasonably estimated. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for DFL losses (impairment charge) of $817 million, reducing the carrying amount of its HCRMC DFL investments from $6.0 billion to $5.2 billion. In December 2015, the Company reduced the carrying amount of its equity investment in HCRMC to zero, and income will be recognized only if cash distributions are received from HCRMC; as a result, the Company no longer recharacterizes (eliminates) its proportional ownership share of income from DFLs to equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures (see Note 7). During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company and HCRMC agreed to market for sale the real estate and operations associated with 50 non-strategic facilities that are under the Master Lease. HCRMC will receive an annual rent reduction under the Master Lease based on 7.75% of the net sales proceeds received by HCP. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed sales of 22 non-strategic HCRMC facilities for $219 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company sold an additional 11 facilities for $62 million, bringing the total facilities sold through May 9, 2016 to 33, with the remaining facility sales expected to close by the end of 2016. On March 29, 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the Master Lease (the “HCRMC Lease Amendment”) effective April 1, 2015. The HCRMC Lease Amendment reduced initial annual rent by a net $68 million from $541 million to $473 million. Commencing on April 1, 2016, the minimum rent escalation was reset to 3.0% for each lease year through the expiration of the initial term of each applicable pool of facilities. Prior to the HCRMC Lease Amendment, rent payments would have increased 3.5% on April 1, 2015 and 2016 and 3.0% thereafter. The initial term was extended five years to an average of 16 years, and the extension options’ aggregate terms remained the same. As consideration for the rent reduction, the Company received a Deferred Rent Obligation (“DRO”) from the Lessee equal to an aggregate amount of $525 million, which was allocated into two tranches: (i) a Tranche A DRO of $275 million and (ii) a Tranche B DRO of $250 million. The Lessee made rental payments equal to 6.9% of the outstanding amount (representing $19 million) for the initial lease year until the entire Tranche A DRO was paid in full in March 2016. Commencing on April 1, 2016, until the Tranche B DRO is paid in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche B DRO will be increased annually by (i) 3.0% initially, (ii) 4.0% commencing on April 1, 2019, (iii) 5.0% commencing on April 1, 2020, and (iv) 6.0% commencing on April 1, 2021 and for the remainder of its term. The DRO is due and payable on the earlier of (i) certain capital or liquidity events of HCRMC, including an initial public offering or sale, or (ii) March 31, 2029, which is not subject to any extensions. The HCRMC Lease Amendment also imposes certain restrictions on the Lessee and HCRMC until the DRO is paid in full, including with respect to the payment of dividends and the transfer of interest in HCRMC. Additionally, HCRMC agreed to sell, and HCP agreed to purchase, nine post-acute facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. Through March 31, 2016, HCRMC and HCP completed the nine facility purchases for $275 million, the proceeds of which were used to settle the Tranche A DRO. Following the purchase of a facility, the Lessee leases such facility from the Company pursuant to the Amended Master Lease. The nine facilities contribute an aggregate of $19 million of annual rent (subject to escalation) under the Amended Master Lease. In March 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $478 million related to its HCRMC DFL investments. The impairment charge reduced the carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments from $6.6 billion to $6.1 billion, based on the present value of the future lease payments effective April 1, 2015 under the Amended Master Lease discounted at the original DFL investments’ effective lease rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized DFL income of $113 million and $152 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $113 million and $131 million, respectively, from the HCRMC DFL investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a total of $21 million of net accretion related to its HCRMC DFL investments. The carrying value of the HCRMC DFL investments was $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company acquired the HCRMC DFL investments in 2011 through an acquisition of a C-Corporation, which was subject to federal and state built-in gain tax, if all the assets were sold within 10 years, of up to $2 billion. At the time, the Company intended to hold the assets for at least 10 years, at which time the assets would no longer be subject to the built-in gain tax. In December 2015, the U.S. Federal Government passed legislation which permanently reduced the holding period, for federal tax purposes, to five years. The Company satisfied the five year holding period requirement in April 2016. However, certain states still require a 10-year holding period and, as such, the assets are still subject to state built-in gain tax. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined that it may sell assets during the next five years and, therefore, recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $49 million representing its estimated exposure to state built-in gain tax. On April 20, 2015, the DOJ unsealed a previously filed complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against HCRMC and certain of its affiliates in three consolidated cases following a civil investigation arising out of three lawsuits filed by former employees of HCRMC under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. The DOJ’s complaint in intervention is captioned United States of America, ex rel. Ribik, Carson, and Slough v. HCR ManorCare, Inc., ManorCare Inc., HCR ManorCare Services, LLC and Heartland Employment Services, LLC (Civil Action Numbers: 1:09cv13; 1:11cv1054; 1:14cv1228 (CMH/TCB)). The complaint alleges that HCRMC submitted claims to Medicare for therapy services that were not covered by the skilled nursing facility benefit, were not medically reasonable and necessary, and were not skilled in nature, and therefore not entitled to Medicare reimbursement. HCRMC and the DOJ have filed a motion requesting that the court adopt their Joint Proposed Discovery Plan, which establishes the scope of discovery and depositions. Under the Joint Proposed Discovery Plan, motions for summary judgment would be due to be filed in April 2017. While this litigation is at an early stage and HCRMC has indicated that it believes the claims are unjust and it will vigorously defend against them, a significant adverse judgment against HCRMC or significant settlement obligation could impact the carrying value of the Company’s HCRMC DFL investments further. See Notes 7 and 20 for additional discussion of HCRMC. Direct Financing Lease Internal Ratings The following table summarizes the Company’s internal ratings for DFLs at March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Beginning September 30, 2013, the Company placed a 14-property senior housing DFL (the “DFL Portfolio”) on nonaccrual status and assigned an internal rating of “Watch List.” The Company determined that the collection of all rental payments was and continues to be no longer reasonably assured; therefore, rental revenue from the DFL Portfolio is recognized on a cash basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized DFL income of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, and received cash payments of $4 million and $5 million, respectively, from the DFL Portfolio. The carrying value of the DFL Portfolio was $364 million and $366 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
