Funding
HJ Sims finalizes $ 132 million financing package for Benedictine
HJ Sims has completed a $ 132.4 million refinancing program on behalf of Benedictine Health System in Cambridge, Minnesota.
Historically, most of Benedictine’s subsidiaries have been funded on a stand-alone basis, resulting in 36 rounds of outstanding debts for 19 different borrowers. The various sets of debts were held by eight different banks or departments with inconsistent terms, covenants and reporting requirements. Benedictine’s board and management team sought to update a capital framework to ensure growth, service line transformation and reinvestment in existing campuses. In August 2020, Sims was hired to lead this project.
Sims built an initial committed group, providing the foundation for Benedictine to achieve her financial goals. Sims created and used a multi-faceted decision matrix that takes into account factors specific to each subsidiary and its outstanding debt. Twenty-one seniors’ residences, 14 in Minnesota and seven in North Dakota, were selected for the mandatory group.
Sims focused on finalizing key provisions of the Master Trust Deed in order to give future flexibility to Bénédictine’s organizational and financial structure. Sims determined the appropriate debt structure. As most of the existing debt was bank debt, a shorter amortization over 20 years was chosen to avoid an extension of the weighted average maturity of the debt. Taxable debt was chosen to refinance debt allocated to communities in North Dakota in order to avoid having to use two issuers and to give the Benedictines flexibility to repay the debt. Sims worked with legal counsel to gain host approval and execute joint power agreements between 20 municipalities or issuers across Minnesota.

Outlook Notes
Fitch retrograde East Ridge Retirement Village in “CC”
Fitch Ratings downgraded the issuer’s default rating at East Ridge Retirement Village in Cutler Bay, Fla., To “CC” from “B-“, and downgraded the series healthcare facility’s revenue bond rating 2014 issued by the Alachua County Health Facilities Authority, on behalf of East Ridge Retirement Village. Fitch also removed oversight of negative ratings on IDR and Income Bonds.
The downgrade reflects Fitch’s belief that default, including debt restructuring, is likely during the forecast period. East Ridge is negotiating a forbearance agreement with its bondholders. Due to the breach of the supplier’s annual debt service coverage ratio commitment, bondholders have the right to expedite principal payments.
At East Ridge’s fiscal year 2020 end on December 30, 2020, the debt service coverage ratio was 0.68x and 0.42x through June 30, 2021. Continuous cash consumption, low rate Persistent occupancy, inability to generate sufficient net entry fees and high leverage contributed to East Ridge’s financial position.
