By Susanna Moon

Chicago., Aug. 9 – Welltower Inc. plans to repay advances under its term loan due May 25, 2020 with Barclays Bank plc and under its primary unsecured credit facility due July 19, 2022 using proceeds of new notes, according to a 424B5 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company plans to price new notes due 2023 and 2048 as well as an add-on to its 4.25% senior notes due April 15, 2028.

Proceeds will also be used for general corporate purposes.

The Barclays term loan was used to fund the company’s acquisition of Quality Care Properties, Inc. in July. As of Tuesday, the company had outstanding balances of $1 billion under that term loan with interest rate of 4.01% and $2.15 billion under its primary unsecured credit facility with interest rate of 2.9%, the filing said.

Welltower is a senior housing and health care real estate investment trust based in Toledo, Ohio.
