AMEN RLTY : Law Firm Kirby McInerney LLP Investigating Potential Claims on Behalf of American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. Stockholders

Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (“ARC Healthcare” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HCT) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Ventas, Inc. (“Ventas”). Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, ARC Healthcare stockholders will have the option to elect to receive either 0.1688 Ventas common shares or $11.33 in cash for each share of ARC Healthcare common stock they own, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.6 billion. The cash portion of the consideration is subject to a cap of ten percent of ARC Healthcare’s outstanding common stock.

The investigation concerns whether the ARC Healthcare Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the proposed consideration adequately values the Company’s common stock.
