Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 12, 2016 -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of the $64,420,000 non-rated, tax-exempt Series 2016A&B financing for Baptist Life Communities, a new client to Ziegler. Baptist Convalescent Center, Inc. d/b/a Baptist Life Communities (the Corporation or BLC) was incorporated on March 4, 1952 as a Kentucky not-for-profit corporation for the purpose of providing healthcare, housing and services to the elderly.

"When BLC determined to build a new campus, we knew we needed the A Team. Ziegler was the first choice," said Dr. Robert Long, President and Chief Executive Officer for Baptist Life Communities.

The Corporation currently owns and operates three campuses: Baptist Village, Erlanger, KY (80 IL units and 100 SNF beds); Baptist Convalescent Center of Newport, Newport, KY (30 Personal Care units and 167 SNF beds); and Griesser Farm, Burlington, KY (12 IL units).

Baptist Life Communities plans to replace the Baptist Convalescent Center (BCC) with a new community to be known as The Seasons at Alexandria in Alexandria, Kentucky (the Project). The Corporation plans to construct the 10-acre Alexandria campus at a new location approximately eight miles south of BCC in Campbell County.

Phase I is a planned community drawing architectural inspiration from an Italian Tuscan village. It will incorporate state-of-the-art operational features to deliver resident-centered care in neighborhood style areas. CON licenses for the 117 skilled nursing beds will be provided by transferring bed licenses from Baptist Convalescent Center. Following the opening of the Alexandria campus and the transfer of 117 beds, Baptist Convalescent Center will wind down and the property will be sold. CONs for 30 of the proposed 66 personal care beds have already been obtained by the Corporation. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has also approved the CON for the additional 36 personal care units. Phase II to the development of The Seasons at Alexandria is expected to include 60 independent living units as well as associated amenity spaces including additional dining and a Wellness Center. Management is not actively planning for this subsequent phase at this time.

The Series 2016A and Series 2016B Bonds were issued to (i) fund project costs and reimburse borrower of costs incurred related to the Alexandria Project, (ii) refinance $4,577,815 of existing debt outstanding, (iii) reimburse $515,000 of eligible capital expenditures incurred, (iv) fund $1,890,000 of cash requirements after opening (v) fund a Liquidity Support Fund of $1,000,000, (vi) fund a debt service reserve fund for the Series 2016 Bonds, (vii) fund funded interest on the new money portion of the Series 2016A bonds and for all of the Series 2016B bonds for 24 months, and (viii) pay the costs of issuance. The Corporation contributed $3,000,000 of equity related to the Project.

The Series 2016A Tax-Exempt Fixed Rate Bonds have a par amount of $61,380,000 comprised of $57,040,000 of new money and $4,340,000 of refunding. The Series 2016B Taxable Fixed Rate Bonds have a par amount of $3,040,000. The new money and refunding components are amortized together to form level debt service. The Series 2016A Bonds amortize over 35.5 years until 2051 with a double payment in 2051 partially funded with the release of the debt service reserve fund. The Series 2016B Bonds have a final maturity in 2023.

"When BLC determined to build a new campus, we knew we needed the A Team. Ziegler was the first choice," said Dr. Robert Long, President and Chief Executive Officer for Baptist Life Communities.

“The Seasons at Alexandria Project will allow Baptist Life to continue its 60+ year mission of caring for the elderly in northern Kentucky for many years to come,” commented, Tom Meyers, Managing Director in Ziegler’s senior living practice.
