Reuters reports that the company's total debt is roughly $7.1 billion and that QCP will put its own management teams in place at properties previously managed by HCR. Under the terms of the agreement, HCR's operating subsidiaries will not file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The parent company's name and brand will also remain in place, but as a wholly owned subsidiary of QCP. QCP itself is a spin-off of healthcare REIT HCP (NYSE: HCP), which created the company specifically to remove HCR ManorCare's 320 properties from its portfolio. QCP and HCR have been in negotiations for months regarding hundreds of millions in unpaid rent. In addition, QCP will give up its REIT designation, as it will now both own and operate its properties. "This agreement facilitates a consensual resolution that provides stability and flexibility for the business," says Mark Ordan, QCP's CEO.
