Genesis HealthCare & Capital Senior Living Put On Notice By NYSE

So far, two of the publicly traded senior care companies have received notices from the New York Stock Exchange warning them that they are out of compliance with the continued listing standard that requires a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period: Capital Senior Living Corporation (April 10) and Genesis HealthCare (April 17). CSU dropped as low as $0.45 per share, while GEN fell to $0.78 per share. Genesis was still in compliance with the minimum market capitalization threshold of $50 million over a 30 trading-day period (at more than two times that level), but CSU’s average market cap did fall below the threshold.  Both companies will...

Genesis HealthCare Sees Share Value Rebound

Genesis HealthCare Sees Share Value Rebound

It’s no surprise that Genesis HealthCare has seen a significant drop in its share value as a result of Covid-19. The company owns and operates facilities that care for a medically-complex population that is most vulnerable to the virus, which is a huge risk in itself. The horrifying situation at a Life Care Centers facility in Kirkland, Washington, where 129 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed (81 residents, 34 staff members and 14 visitors) and 35 people have died (more than half of the state’s total), has also colored the image of SNFs in this situation, probably contributing to the flight of capital from the sector’s stocks.   During the massive...

Genesis HealthCare Continues Restructuring

Genesis HealthCare Continues Restructuring

Genesis HealthCare announced additional changes to its capital structure and leased interests in skilled nursing facilities, all for the better. Genesis has partnered with a private investor to purchase 18 nursing facilities previously leased from Welltower and Second Spring Healthcare Investments. Genesis will have a 30% equity stake in these 18 facilities, and lease them from the joint venture entity, but with a big difference. Previously, these 18 facilities had annual rent escalators ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%, but with the new lease, the escalators do not begin until year five of the lease. In addition, Genesis has a fixed-price purchase option to acquire the real estate of these 18... Read More »
