1. Senior Housing Properties Trust (currently known as Diversified Healthcare Trust or DHC) was an American real estate investment trust. After the renaming, DHC owns approximately $7.2 billion of high-quality healthcare properties in 36 states. 2. AidData estimates the interest rate by adding the 6-month average LIBOR rate in June 2011 (0.267%) to an applicable margin based on credit ratings. This yields a rate of 0.267% + 1.6% applicable margin equal to 1.867%.
