EXHIBIT 99.1
ILM II SENIOR LIVING, INC.
AND
ILM II HOLDING, INC.
COMPLETE SALE OF
SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES FOR $45.5 MILLION
================================================================================
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
TYSONS CORNER, VA.--April 12, 2002--ILM II Senior Living, Inc. announced today,
that on April 2, 2002 it and its subsidiary, ILM II Holding, Inc., a Virginia
corporation sold all of their right, title and interest in and to their senior
and assisted living facilities and certain other related assets to Five Star
Quality Care, Inc., a publicly traded Maryland corporation (AMEX: FVE) pursuant
to the terms of the previously reported purchase and sale agreement between ILM
II, ILM II Holding and FVE dated January 23, 2002. As consideration for the sale
of these facilities and assets, FVE paid ILM II a purchase price of $45.5
million.
ILM II is in the process of liquidating and distributing its assets in
accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act which provides for the
distribution of ILM II's assets first to ILM II's creditors for purposes of
discharging all of ILM II's liabilities, and then, to the extent assets are
remaining, to ILM II's shareholders in accordance with their respective rights
and interests. At this time, on or about April 30, 2002, ILM II anticipates
making a partial liquidating distribution to holders of record of ILM II's
common stock as of the close of business on April 15, 2002, of approximately
$4.77 per share, representing a portion of cash realized from the proceeds of
the transaction with FVE.
From the proceeds realized from the FVE transaction, ILM II has
established and continues to maintain a reserve for the defense of the
previously disclosed litigation that BRE/Independent Living, LLC brought against
ILM II and other defendants and a reserve sufficient for the proper management
of certain other claims and contingencies. ILM II has vigorously defended, and
intends to continue to vigorously defend the BRE Litigation, it being ILM II's
belief that the allegations contained in that action are without merit. In this
respect, ILM II has filed a motion to dismiss all of such claims initiated by
BRE, however the Court has not yet set a schedule for hearing and ruling on that
motion.
In addition to the reserve relating to the BRE Litigation, ILM II has
reserved funds and intends to continue to maintain funds sufficient to manage
ILM II's pursuit of an arbitration recovery on claims it has against another
party relating to the February 2001 termination of the merger transaction with
Capital Senior Living Corporation. That proceeding is subject to confidentiality
provisions arising from retainer agreements with the respondent thereto dating
from 1996. In the arbitration, there are no asserted claims against ILM II at
issue, ILM II is prosecuting (and intends to continue to prosecute) these claims
aggressively, and ILM II expects that the arbitration will be completed by the
end of this calendar year. ILM II cannot predict the amount of a recovery, if
any, at this time.
There can be no assurance or certainty that there will be any further
payments to ILM II's common shareholders.
