Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
As previously reported, on April 20, 2010, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) announced the exercise of its option to acquire certain subsidiaries of CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”) owning 63 long-term care facilities (the “Casablanca Portfolio”). On June 9, 2010, Omega completed the acquisition of the Casablanca Portfolio for approximately $293 million in cash, of which approximately $261 million was used by CapitalSource to repay mortgage debt associated with the Casablanca Portfolio.  The acquisition was conducted pursuant to an Option Agreement dated December 22, 2009 among Omega, CapitalSource and CSE SLB LLC, as amended, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Omega’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2009.
 
The 63 facilities owned by the acquired CapitalSource subsidiaries represent 6,607 available beds located in 19 states and are part of 30 in-place triple net leases among 18 operators.

Omega used a combination of cash and borrowings of $195 million under its $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility to fund the acquisition.

Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

See Item 2.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of borrowings under Omega’s $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility.

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 10, 2010, Omega amended and restated its Charter to revise various provisions regarding real estate investment trust (“REIT”) ownership limits to protect Omega’s status as a qualified REIT, and to otherwise modernize the Charter based on recent developments in REIT law and industry practice.  The amendments are described in Omega’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2010.

The amended and restated Charter was previously approved by Omega’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, and approved by Omega’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2010, as further described in Section 5.07 below.

A copy of the amended and restated Charter is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
As previously reported, on November 17, 2009, Omega entered into a securities purchase agreement with CapitalSource and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which Omega agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, to purchase certain CapitalSource subsidiaries owning 40 long-term care facilities encumbered by long-term mortgage financing guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (the “HUD Portfolio).  Omega’s acquisition of the HUD Portfolio is subject to customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.
