Medical Properties Trust Announces Pricing of €500 Million of 3.325% Senior Notes Due 2025

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MPW) announced today that the previously announced public offering of €500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) by its operating partnership, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers, guaranteed by the Company.

The Issuers intend to use approximately €200 million of the net proceeds from this offering of Notes to prepay and extinguish the €200 million of outstanding term loans under the euro-denominated term loan facility portion of the revolving credit and term loan facilities, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Issuers intend to use approximately €200 million of the remaining net proceeds from this offering to finance the remaining closings of the real estate assets that the Company previously announced it would acquire from the Median Kliniken group S.à r.l. (“MEDIAN”), including related fees, expenses, real estate transfer taxes and capital gain taxes, and the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in additional healthcare properties. The Issuers intend to use the remaining net proceeds to repay euro-denominated borrowings under their revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include investing in additional healthcare properties.

Morgan and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as joint book running managers for the offering of the Notes; KeyBanc Capital Markets, MUFG, RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, Stifel, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey are acting as co-lead managers.

The offering of the Notes is expected to close on or about March 24, 2017, subject to certain closing conditions. The offering of the Notes was made under an effective shelf registration statement of the Company, the Operating Partnership and MPT Finance and a related preliminary prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus.
