Leisureworld will issue 19,020,000 common shares at a price of $10 per share. The IPO is expected to generate total gross proceeds of approximately $190 million. With the proceeds of the offering, Leisureworld intends to pay the expenses of the offering, including underwriting commissions, of approximately $14 million, repay approximately $62 million of Leisureworld’s debt, and to acquire approximately 95% of the ownership interests in Leisureworld Senior Care LP and Leisureworld Senior Care GP Inc. (collectively, “LSCLP”) from their current owner, Macquarie Long Term Care LP (“MLTCLP”). MPT and Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund Limited (“MIIFL”) indirectly own approximately 45% and 55%, respectively, of the economic interest of MLTCLP. The balance of the ownership interests in LSCLP will be acquired by Leisureworld in consideration for the issuance of a promissory note to MLTCLP, repayable on the terms described below.

The underwriters have also been granted an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 958,649 common shares of Leisureworld. The net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option will be used by Leisureworld to repay the promissory note issued to MLTCLP. In the event that the overallotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters, MLTCLP will be issued a specified number of common shares of Leisureworld based on the IPO price in satisfaction of Leisureworld’s obligations under the promissory note. Assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full, MPT expects to receive net proceeds from the sale of its indirect interest in LSCLP of approximately $55 million. Under the acquisition agreement between MLTCLP and Leisureworld, MLTCLP will be required to retain approximately $12 million as a holdback amount, covering MLTCLP’s indemnification obligations under the agreement, until March 31, 2011.

The closing is scheduled for March 23, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions, at which time the common shares of Leisureworld will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “LW”. Based on the IPO price, Leisureworld’s market capitalization will be approximately $200 million.

The offering is being made through a syndicate of underwriters led by TD Securities Inc., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd.¹ and RBC Capital Markets, and including BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., Brookfield Financial Corp., and Genuity Capital Markets.

Further information regarding the offering is contained in Leisureworld’s final prospectus, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
