This facility includes a $50 million swingline subfacility and a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, with a maturity of five years. The maturity is 4 years and the interest rate applied is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The proceeds from this loan were allocated for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. While Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. contributed $10 million USD to this facility, the following banks also participated with their respective contributions: Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ($90 million); Royal Bank of Canada ($75 million); Bank of America, N.A.

Staff comments

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%.
