CHRISTUS Health Lease is a triple-net lease with a term of 15 years

Former tenant, Steward Health Care, formally requested that its lease be rejected as of September 15, 2024, as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings

Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) (the “Company” or “GMRE”), a net-lease medical real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires healthcare facilities and leases those facilities to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems, today announced that it has entered into a new, 15-year, triple-net lease with an affiliate of CHRISTUS Health (“CHRISTUS”) at its healthcare facility in Beaumont, Texas (the “Beaumont Facility”). CHRISTUS will utilize the Beaumont Facility for, among other services, robotic surgery, orthopedic care and emergency services. The Beaumont Facility was previously tenanted by Steward Health Care (“Steward”), which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 6, 2024. Steward has formally requested that its lease with us at the Beaumont Facility be rejected by the bankruptcy court as of September 15, 2024, and a final order rejecting such lease is pending with the court.

Jeffrey M. Busch, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President stated, “We are excited to begin a new relationship with CHRISTUS at our Beaumont, Texas facility. We believe the facility is a high-quality, marketable facility, and this has been verified by our new, long-term, triple-net lease with CHRISTUS. The situation at our Beaumont facility demonstrates the importance of underwriting both tenant and building. I’m very pleased with how quickly our team was able to re-lease the property to a high-quality tenant, delivering an excellent outcome in this difficult situation.”

Paul Generale, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of CHRISTUS stated, “We look forward to our partnership with GMRE and believe the Beaumont facility will be an essential component as we expand quality health care services to the residents of Southeast Texas.”
