–Transaction Targets Arbitrage Between Public and Private Market Valuations–

–Unlocks Proceeds to be Reinvested at Higher Returns on Capital–

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chiron Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: XRN) (the “Company” or “Chiron”), announced today that it has completed a sale of seven inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) to a joint venture (the “JV”) between the Company and a U.S. public pension fund advised by a global real estate investment management firm.

The initial portfolio of IRFs was valued at an aggregate $217 million. The transaction was structured through a JV in which an investor acquired an 85% equity interest. Chiron retained a 15% equity stake and is the manager of the JV, continuing to oversee asset management in exchange for a management fee.

Mark Decker, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Chiron, stated, “Our strategy is to be a disciplined capital allocator. We intend to redeploy proceeds from these sales into higher return on capital investments while maintaining a resilient balance sheet. We will use every tool at our disposal to fulfill our mission to deliver value at the intersection of care, capital, and real estate.”

Mr. Decker continued, “Our team did a fabulous job on this transaction, and we’re pleased to deepen our relationship with this real estate investment firm, while establishing a new relationship within the public pension space. This vehicle is a major milestone for Chiron as we continue to position our platform for superior long-term performance.”

The assets sold to the joint venture comprise an aggregate 456,000 square feet and are 100% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of eight years.

The Company intends to utilize proceeds from this transaction to fund its pipeline of higher return on capital investments, which includes the previously announced acquisition of the Pinnacle North Bethesda (the “Pinnacle”) for a purchase price of approximately $176 million. The closing of the Pinnacle is expected to occur on or before October 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and purchase price adjustments.

The Pinnacle is a 282,000 square foot, 175-home luxury seniors housing community with ground floor retail. Located in North Bethesda adjacent to Pike & Rose and within the new Pike District, the Pinnacle offers independent living (88 homes), assisted living (59 homes), and memory care (28 homes).

Fifth Third Securities served as financial advisor to Chiron.
