LTC Properties, Inc. (NYSE:LTC) announced today that it will not be renewing its leases that will expire on December 31, 2014 with Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. and Extendicare Health Services, Inc. and has begun a formal process to re-lease the 37 assisted living communities. LTC has retained CS Capital Advisors, LLC as its advisor to assist in the marketing and re-leasing process.

Wendy Simpson, LTC's Chairman, CEO and President, commented, "LTC welcomes the opportunity to start the re-leasing process for these 37 communities. We believe the significant potential upside of this portfolio represents a compelling economic opportunity for many quality assisted living providers. The portfolio's strategic geographic concentrations in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest and Texas regions, offer potential operators the opportunity to either leverage their existing footprint in these markets or to establish new operating regions with ample critical mass."

As of September 30, 2013, annualized GAAP rent from this portfolio totaled approximately $11 million and represented 9.3% of LTC's pro-forma total revenues. There can be no assurance that LTC will be able to re-lease these communities on a timely basis, if at all, or that the new rents will be the same as the current rents.

LTC is a self-administered real estate investment trust that primarily invests in senior housing and long-term care properties through triple-net lease transactions, mortgage loans and other investments.
