Newcastle Announces Details for Completion of New Senior Spin-Off and Investor Call on October 17, 2014 at 8:30 AM ET
Newcastle Investment Corp. (“Newcastle”; NYSE: NCT) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the details and timing of the spin-off of its senior living business. The spin-off will establish the senior living business as an independent, publicly traded real estate investment trust called New Senior Investment Group Inc. (“New Senior”).
The spin-off will be effected as a distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of New Senior, which is currently wholly owned by Newcastle, to the holders of Newcastle common stock as of the record date. The distribution will occur on November 6, 2014, subject to the conditions noted below, and the record date is October 27, 2014.
In connection with the spin-off, Newcastle’s Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Newcastle’s common stock, and the distribution ratio for the spin-off will be based on the number of Newcastle shares outstanding after the reverse stock split. Newcastle will then distribute one share of New Senior common stock for each outstanding share of Newcastle common stock. The value of any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be paid out in cash.
It is expected that shares of Newcastle common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on October 23, 2014. In addition, The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has informed Newcastle that on October 27, 2014 through November 6, 2014, it will establish three trading markets related to the spin-off:
In the “when issued” market (NYSE: SNR WI), New Senior shares will trade, subject to settlement after the distribution
In the “ex-distribution” market (NYSE: NCT WI), Newcastle shares will trade on a split-adjusted basis excluding the right to the distribution of New Senior shares
In the “regular way” market (NYSE: NCT), Newcastle shares will trade on a split-adjusted basis including the right to the distribution of New Senior shares
On the first trading day following the distribution, November 7, 2014, New Senior will begin regular-way trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SNR,” and Newcastle will resume trading ex-distribution under the ticker symbol “NCT”.
Newcastle shareholders are not required to take any action to receive the New Senior shares. Record holders whose Newcastle shares are registered directly with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC will receive a book-entry account statement for the New Senior shares. Record holders whose Newcastle shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or similar organization will have the New Senior shares credited to their accounts. Physical share certificates will not be distributed.
A registration statement on Form 10 relating to the shares of New Senior common stock has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) but has not yet become effective. The shares of New Senior common stock may not be distributed prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective, which Newcastle expects to occur in the coming days. The distribution is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions described in the registration statement. A copy of the information statement included as an exhibit to the registration statement may be obtained from New Senior Investment Group Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, Tel: 212-479-3140.
Investors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of buying or selling shares of Newcastle common stock before or on the distribution date.
