Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 13, 2004, Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star, closed an offering of shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, or common shares. A total of 3,500,000 common shares were sold at a price of $8.45 per common share, for a total of $29.6 million of gross proceeds. Five Star granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 525,000 common shares to cover over allotments, if any, within 30 days from the date of the prospectus relating to the common shares. UBS Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, notified Five Star on January 6, 2005 that the underwriters have exercised this option in part and will purchase an additional 130,000 common shares. The closing of the purchase of the additional 130,000 common shares is subject to customary conditions and is expected to take place on January 11, 2005. Five Star used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay in its entirety a $16.8 million mortgage loan provided by Senior Housing Properties Trust in connection with Five Star’s acquisition of LTA Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as LifeTrust America, Inc.). Five Star intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions.
A final prospectus concerning this offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of any offer to buy, common shares. A copy of the final prospectus can be obtained by contacting UBS Investment Bank, Prospectus Department, at 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171 (Telephone: 212-821-3000), or by contacting any of the co-managing underwriters.
