ATTACHMENT TO AMENDED FORM 4 FOR LTC HEALTHCARE, INC.
RELATING TO MARCH 31, 1998 REPORTABLE EVENT
*On March 26, 1998, Healthcare and Regent executed a Convertible Subordinated
Note Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Purchase Agreement
established a put option pursuant to which Healthcare is obligated to
purchase from Regent, upon Regent's demand, up to $10,000,000 principal
amount of convertible subordinated notes due 2008 (the "Notes"). Regent must
exercise such put option on or prior to March 31, 2000. The Notes are
convertible, in whole or in part at any time prior to March 31, 2008 at
Healthcare's option, into Common Stock at a price of $7.50 per share, subject
to adjustment. If all Notes were converted, such conversion would result in
the issuance of 1,333,333 shares of Regent Common Stock. Under certain
circumstances, Regent can require conversion of the Notes prior to March 31,
2008, at a price of $7.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
**On March 31, 1998, Regent put $4,000,000 principal amount of Notes to
Healthcare. As a result, Healthcare purchased $4,000,000 principal amount of
Notes on such date for a purchase price of $4,000,000. Such $4,000,000
principal amount of Notes are convertible, at a price of $7.50 per share,
into 533,333 shares of Common Stock.
