Leisureworld Announces Completion of Acquisition of Two Luxury Retirement Residences, Debt Financing and Issuance of Common Shares

MARKHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 27, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Leisureworld Senior Care Corporation (the "Company") (TSX:LW) today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of two luxury retirement residences for a net purchase price paid to the vendors of $89.0 million after working capital adjustments and a holdback of $5.5 million to be held in escrow as an income guarantee to complement cash flow from the properties during the lease-up period (the "Acquisition"). The two properties, which together are comprised of 294 suites, complement the Company's existing retirement facilities and long-term care homes and further grow its existing expertise in seniors housing.

As brand new luxury retirement living properties featuring top quality amenities which are competitively positioned in attractive markets, the retirement residences will be marketed under the Company's 'The Royale' brand.

To finance a portion of the purchase price, the Company entered into a two-year bridge debt facility with a Canadian chartered bank in the amount of $55 million. After putting in place interest rate swap arrangements, the all-in cost of borrowing under the facility will be approximately 4% per annum.

The balance of the purchase price was funded from the net proceeds of the Company's recently completed public offering of subscription receipts, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $46 million. On closing of the Acquisition, one common share was automatically issued in exchange for each outstanding subscription receipt, resulting in the issuance of 4,381,500 common shares.

The securities offered pursuant to the subscription receipt offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction.
