American Healthcare REIT Prices $712M Equity Offering at $53.75/Share
AHR sits 36% above its 52-week low of $39.64.
Summary
American Healthcare REIT priced its 13.25 million share offering at $53.75 per share, raising approximately $712.2 million before expenses. The deal includes a 30-day underwriter option for an additional 1.99 million shares. Proceeds are earmarked for the pending $873 million acquisition of eight senior housing communities announced yesterday, with any remainder for general corporate purposes. The forward sale structure defers actual share issuance for up to 24 months, reducing immediate dilution. This follows the company's $700 million offering in May and the recent CEO transition, signaling continued aggressive capital deployment into senior housing. The offering is expected to close August 12.
