Kindred nearned around $21 million in cash proceeds from the sale, with the remainder of the purchase price to be paid when other post-closing conditions are met. The company had amended various master lease agreements with Ventas in April 2016 in connection with the Curahealth transaction.
The transactions with Curahealth and Ventas are also expected to generate future cash income tax benefits for Kindred in the vicinity of $37 million. The company anticipates reporting pretax charges of approximately $54 million related to the Ventas lease amendments, and about $45 to $55 million related to the transaction with Curahealth within the fiscal year. Of the latter, close to $8 million was recorded during the six months ending June 30.
Kindred President and CEO Benjamin Breier said in a statement that the transaction creates both strategic and financial value for the company.
