Physicians Realty Trust Completes $40 million Acquisition of
El Paso Surgical Center and Medical Office Building
Milwaukee, WI, September 3, 2013 - Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) ("the Company"), a self-managed healthcare properties REIT, announced today the completion of the sale-leaseback of the surgical hospital and adjacent medical office building occupied by the Foundation Surgical Hospital of El Paso, L.L.C. (the "Hospital"), a joint venture owned by more than 60 physicians and Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, L.L.C. ("Foundation"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (OTCQB:GRMH), headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. The purchase price was $40 million in cash and was paid from proceeds of the Company's recent initial public offering.
The Company previously had the property under a letter of intent as described in its final prospectus dated July 18, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 19, 2013. The Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the property and completed the acquisition on August 30, 2013. The Hospital is a 77,000 square foot, 40-bed acute care facility with six operating rooms, and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), which accredits healthcare organizations. The adjacent medical office building contains approximately 40,000 rentable square feet, which is 100% leased by the Hospital and currently sub-leased by hospital services and physicians on the medical staff of the Hospital. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company and the Hospital entered into a new 15-
year absolute-net lease with respect to the hospital and a new five-year triple-net lease for 100% of the rentable space in the medical office building.
John T. Thomas, President and CEO of Physicians Realty Trust, stated, "We are so pleased to partner with the physicians and the Foundation team in El Paso. This is a high quality health care facility, where the physicians and other caregivers are providing outstanding services and care to their patients. We look forward to exploring future opportunities to work with Tom Michaud, Stanton Nelson, and Foundation's President, Bob Byers, and their physician partners across the United States".
Tom Michaud, the founder of Foundation and Chairman of the Board of Graymark, stated, "We have an outstanding hospital and world class medical staff partners devoted to the highest quality of care and patient service and satisfaction. We are excited to partner with Physicians Realty Trust. The Company understands and appreciates our clinical care and business model, which puts the physician in control of patient care, and our combined opportunity for tremendous success in the El Paso, Texas market. We have known and worked with John Thomas for more than 10 years, and he shares our passion and commitment to partnering with physicians to create an outstanding patient experience".
