Sonida Closes Two Previously Announced Senior Living Asset Acquisitions
Sonida Senior Living, Inc. ('Sonida' or the 'Company') (NYSE: SNDA), a leading owner, operator and investor in senior living communities, announced today the closing of its latest acquisitions. The Company continues to execute on its inorganic growth strategy, which aims to further expand, densify and upgrade its portfolio to fully leverage operating scale and efficiencies.
'Sonida remains focused on executing its disciplined growth strategy through thoughtful deal structuring and careful selection of high-quality communities purchased at meaningful discounts to replacement cost,' said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'With no material near-term debt maturities and continued favorable demographic and supply dynamics, we continue to capitalize on compelling and accretive investment opportunities to complement the significant upside potential in our existing portfolio.'
Senior Housing Community Acquisition in Atlanta Submarket
On June 1, 2025, the Company finalized the acquisition of a single senior living community in the Atlanta MSA for $11 million, or approximately $125,000 per unit, reflecting a significant discount to replacement cost. The upscale and amenitized asset has 88 units (64 Assisted Living / 24 Memory Care) and was completed in 2017.
The community is located in Alpharetta, a high-growth submarket of Atlanta with favorable demographics and is strategically situated near Sonida's recently acquired Atlanta assets, further leveraging operating scale through cost efficiencies, local resource pooling and enhanced marketing presence. Consistent with the Company's strategy of regional densification, the acquisition brings Sonida's greater Atlanta portfolio total to four assets.
Sonida funded the transaction with cash on hand and proceeds from its senior secured revolving credit facility.
The Company expects a double-digit cap rate upon stabilization.
Senior Housing Community Acquisition in Tampa Submarket
On May 30, 2025, the Company finalized the acquisition of a single senior living community in an affluent and growing submarket of Tampa. The asset, completed in 2017, was purchased for $11 million, or approximately $172,000 per unit, reflecting a significant discount to replacement cost.
The community is located in Tarpon Springs, a high-growth submarket of Tampa, and complements Sonida's recently acquired central Florida assets. The asset has 64 Memory Care units in a high-end purpose-built plant with significant amenity space thoughtfully designed for memory care specific needs. Sonida will implement its Magnolia Trails TM personalized memory care programming and services to activate the community while leveraging its regional sales and marketing support to drive occupancy. Consistent with the Company's strategy of regional densification, the acquisition brings Sonida's Florida portfolio total to eight assets.
Sonida funded the transaction with cash on hand and a new $9 million non-recourse mortgage from the asset's existing lender. The loan has an initial 3-year term with two 1-year extensions and carries an interest rate of SOFR + 0%, which will step up by 1% in years 2 and 3 and end at SOFR + 3% if the Company elects the extension.
The Company expects a double-digit cap rate upon stabilization.

KFON goes national with ISP-A license; crosses 1 lakh connections, eyeing OTT rollout
Kerala Fibre Optic Network (KFON), the state-backed broadband initiative, has secured an Internet Service Provider – Category A (ISP-A) license, KFON is now formally positioned to expand its services beyond Kerala, potentially offering connectivity solutions across the country. This national license marks a key turning point, enabling the government-owned network to scale its infrastructure and services outside state borders for the first time. The development comes as the network crosses 1.08 lakh connections since opening to the public in 2023. With preparations underway to launch an affordable OTT platform focused on regional content, KFON is positioning itself not just as a connectivity provider but as a full-fledged digital services player. With the recent acquisition of the network currently supports over 68,294 commercial FTTH (fibre-to-the-home) users, alongside 23,163 government offices, 14,082 economically backward families provided with free connections, and 2,819 fibre-to-office links. The expansion reflects not just a growing appetite for reliable internet in the state but also the success of KFON's hybrid public-private model. But perhaps the most ambitious element of KFON's roadmap lies in its entry into digital content. The project is in the final stages of launching its own OTT (over-the-top) platform, which will feature regional entertainment, including South Indian films and television content—at affordable subscription rates. This pivot reflects a strategic shift: from being simply a conduit for data to becoming a digital ecosystem provider catering to Kerala's culturally rooted yet digitally active population. The numbers behind the infrastructure are equally striking. KFON's backbone spans over 31,000 kilometres of fibre optic cable, routed through 375 Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) substations, based on the Point of Presence (POP), which is centred across the state. The network is managed via a centralised Network Operating Centre (NOC) in Kochi Infopark and is built on a sophisticated ring-based architecture comprising 94 aggregation rings, 186 pre-aggregation rings, and 81 spur centres—designed for scalability and resilience. Parallel to its OTT ambitions, KFON is working to roll out IPTV services and is in the process of securing Virtual Network Operator (VNO) licenses. The network already offers advanced intranet services such as MPLS L2VPN, L3VPN, and FTTH-based intranet connections, which currently cater to over 3,500 institutions across the state. The initiative is also backed by the empowering mission to enhance digital inclusion across the state. Under the 'Connecting the Unconnected' initiative, KFON has delivered free high-speed internet access to households in remote and tribal communities. These include 103 families in Kottoor, 300 in Attapadi, and several families in Valanthakad Island near Ernakulam; places that have historically struggled with connectivity. On the business side, KFON's revenue portfolio includes Internet Lease Line services (serving 220 corporates), SME broadband (265 connections), and dark fibre leasing—with over 7,000 km of fibre already leased to private operators. It also benefits from its partnerships with over 3,800 local internet providers, who assist in last-mile service delivery. Looking ahead, KFON has set an ambitious target: over 2.5 lakh connections by next year. Kerala residents and institutions can subscribe via the toll-free helpline 1800 570 4466, the Ente KFON mobile app, or online at Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Trump rollback on clean energy subsidies stalls major solar, wind projects and manufacturing plans
Singapore-based solar panel manufacturer Bila Solar is suspending plans to double capacity at its new factory in Indianapolis. Canadian rival Heliene's plans for a solar cell facility in Minnesota are under review. Norwegian solar wafer maker NorSun is evaluating whether to move forward with a planned factory in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And two fully permitted offshore wind farms in the U.S. Northeast may never get built. These are among the major clean energy investments now in question after Republicans agreed earlier this month to quickly end U.S. subsidies for solar and wind power as part of their budget megabill, and as the White House directed agencies to tighten the rules on who can claim the incentives that remain. This marks a policy U-turn since President Donald Trump's return to office that project developers, manufacturers and analysts say will slash installations of renewable energy over the coming decade, kill investment and jobs in the clean energy manufacturing sector supporting them, and worsen a looming U.S. power supply crunch as energy-hungry AI infrastructure expands. Solar and wind installations could be 17% and 20% lower than previously forecast over the next decade because of the moves, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie, which warned that a dearth of new supplies could slow the expansion of data centers needed to support AI technology. Energy researcher Rhodium, meanwhile, said the law puts at risk $263 billion of wind, solar, and storage facilities and $110 billion of announced manufacturing investment supporting them. It will also increase industrial energy costs by up to $11 billion in 2035, it said. 'One of the administration's stated goals was to bring costs down, and as we demonstrated, this bill doesn't do that,' said Ben King, a director in Rhodium's energy and climate practice. He added the policy 'is not a recipe for continued dominance of the U.S. AI industry.' The White House did not respond to a request for comment. The Trump administration has defended its moves to end support for clean energy by arguing the rapid adoption of solar and wind power has created instability in the grid and raised consumer prices – assertions that are contested by the industry and which do not bear out in renewables-heavy power grids, like Texas' ERCOT. Power industry representatives, however, have said all new generation projects need to be encouraged to meet rising U.S. demand, including both those driven by renewables and fossil fuels. Consulting firm ICF projects that U.S. electricity demand will grow by 25% by 2030, driven by increased AI and cloud computing – a major challenge for the power industry after decades of stagnation. The REPEAT Project, a collaboration between Princeton University and Evolved Energy Research, projects a 2% annual increase in electricity demand. With a restricted pipeline of renewables, tighter electricity supplies stemming from the policy shift could increase household electricity costs by $280 a year in 2035, according to the REPEAT Project. The key provision in the new law is the accelerated phase-out of 30% tax credits for wind and solar projects: it requires projects to begin construction within a year or enter service by the end of 2027 to qualify for the credits. Previously the credits were available through 2032. Now some project developers are scrambling to get projects done while the U.S. incentives are still accessible. But even that strategy has become risky, developers said. Days after signing the law, Trump directed the Treasury Department to review the definition of 'beginning of construction.' A revision to those rules could overturn a long-standing practice giving developers four years to claim tax credits after spending just 5% of project costs. Treasury was given 45 days to draft new rules. 'With so many moving parts, financing of projects, financing of manufacturing is difficult, if not impossible,' said Martin Pochtaruk, CEO of Heliene. 'You are looking to see what is the next baseball bat that's going to hit you on the head.' About face Heliene's planned cell factory, which could cost as much as $350 million, depending on the capacity, and employ more than 600 workers, is also in limbo, Pochtaruk said in an interview earlier this month. The company needs more clarity on both what the new law will mean for U.S. demand, and how Trump's trade policy will impact the solar industry. 'We have a building that is anxiously waiting for us to make a decision,' Pochtaruk said. Similarly, Mick McDaniel, general manager of Bila Solar, said 'a troubling level of uncertainty' has put on hold its $20 million expansion at an Indianapolis factory it opened this year that would create an additional 75 jobs. 'NorSun is still digesting the new legislation and recent executive order to determine the impact to the overall domestic solar manufacturing landscape,' said Todd Templeton, director of the company's U.S. division that is reviewing plans for its $620 million solar wafer facility in Tulsa. Five solar manufacturing companies – T1 Energy, Imperial Star Solar, SEG Solar, Solx and ES Foundry – said they are also concerned about the new law's impact on future demand, but that they have not changed their investment plans. The policy changes have also injected fresh doubt about the fate of the nation's pipeline of offshore wind projects, which depend heavily on tax credits to bring down costs. According to Wood Mackenzie, projects that have yet to start construction or make final investment decisions are unlikely to proceed. Two such projects, which are fully permitted, include a 300-megawatt project by developer US Wind off the coast of Maryland and Iberdrola's 791 MW New England Wind off the coast of Massachusetts. Neither company responded to requests for comment. 'They are effectively ready to begin construction and are now trapped in a timeline that will make it that much harder to be able to take advantage of the remaining days of the tax credits,' said Hillary Bright, executive director of offshore wind advocacy group Turn Forward.
