Medical Properties Trust Sells 11 Colorado Facilities for  Million Page 1

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced the completion of the sale of 11 stand-alone emergency department (“FSED”), primary care, imaging and urgent care facilities in Colorado to University of Colorado Health (“UCHealth”) for $86 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.

The construction of the eleven facilities was financed by MPT for its original operator, Adeptus Health (“Adeptus”), between 2015 and 2017 at a total initial cost of $64 million. Shortly after Adeptus filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017, UCHealth leased the facilities from MPT without interruption of care and with a nominal rent discount that reflected UCHealth’s strong credit quality.
