"They were in some markets that they thought didn't fit their corporate goals, so we moved the facilities to other operators," Crabtree told GlobeSt.com.

Health Care REIT just owns the facilities in question, and rents them to the managers. Summerville thought they should move out of some facilities that were not in their core markets, Crabtree said.

Summerville agreed to pay $11.41 million to Health Care as part of therestructuring agreement. This included $6.1 million in cash, 2.5 percent ofthe common stock of the reorganized Summerville (valued at $1.6 million) anda secured note of $3.71 million. Because Health Care REIT owned stock in Summerville, after the restructuring Health Care decided to write off its preferred stock investment of $2 million in the fourth quarter.
