Capital Senior Living Corporation Refinances $33 Million Of Debt; Completes Refinancing of Company Owned Portfolio.

DALLAS -- Capital Senior Living Corporation (NYSE:CSU) (the "Company"), one of the country's largest operators of senior living communities, today announced that it has completed a $33 million refinancing of mortgage debt on four owned communities. These four loans have an initial term of three years, plus options for two one-year extensions. The four mortgages each carry variable interest rates tied to the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a spread of 260 basis points. The Company has purchased an interest rate cap which limits the maximum rate on these loans to 7.60% through January 2008. Principal on the loans will amortize over 25 years. The loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with release provisions.

"We expect this refinancing, along with our recently announced $110 million transaction, to provide future interest savings of approximately $3.8 million per year," said James A. Stroud, Chairman of the Company. "In addition, we have fixed the rates on over 80% of our debt and capped the remainder of our interest rates through early 2008."

"We have now fixed or capped the interest rates on our entire wholly-owned portfolio and successfully completed one of our major objectives for 2006," added Lawrence A. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer. "We own 25 communities carrying mortgage debt of approximately $194 million. Of this total, 21 communities have mortgage debt of approximately $161 million at fixed interest rates averaging approximately 6.20%. The other four communities have $33 million of debt at interest rates of LIBOR plus 260 basis points. The interest rate cap limits LIBOR to 5.0% and thus will limit this debt to a maximum rate of 7.60% through January of 2008. Consequently, as a result of these transactions, the blended average rate on the entire portfolio of owned communities is now approximately 6.50%."
