1. Basis of Presentation
Organization and Business

Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (formerly known as Capital Senior Living Corporation), a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our," "us," or "Sonida"), is one of the leading owner-operators of senior housing communities in the United States in terms of resident capacity. The Company owns, operates, and manages senior housing communities throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2024, the Company operated 71 senior housing communities in 18 states with an aggregate capacity of approximately 8,000 residents, including 61 communities which the Company owned and 10 communities that the Company third-party manages. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Sonida Senior Living, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts previously reflected in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to our March 31, 2024 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These estimates include such items related to the accounting for: income taxes, including assessments of probabilities of realization of income tax benefits; impairment of long-lived assets, including applicable cash flow projections, holding periods and fair value evaluations; self-insurance liabilities and expense; stock-based compensation; and depreciation and amortization including determination of estimated useful lives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Liquidity
During 2023, the Company's liquidity conditions, including operating losses and net working capital deficits, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of increases in occupancy occurring throughout 2023 and continuing into 2024, rental rate increases in March 2024 and the 2024 private placement transaction and Protective Life loan purchase, the Company has substantially improved its liquidity position. See "Note 6-Notes Payable" and "Note 7-Securities Financing" for details of the transactions that have increased cash on hand significantly. In addition, $10.3 million was raised in April 2024 through our at-the-market equity offering. See "Note 15-Subsequent Events." Based on these events, the Company concluded it has adequate cash to meet its obligations as they become due for the 12-month period following the date the March 31, 2024 financial statements are issued.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company has deposits in banks that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Management believes that credit risk related to these deposits is minimal. Restricted cash consists of reserve accounts for property insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures, derivatives, and debt service required by certain loan agreements. In addition, restricted cash includes deposits required by certain counterparties as collateral pursuant to letters of credit which must remain so long as the letters of credit are outstanding, which are subject to renewal annually.
The following table sets forth our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (in thousands):

2024
December 31,
2023
Cash and cash equivalents $ 24,211 $ 4,082
Restricted cash:
Property tax and insurance reserves 5,339 7,237
Lender reserves 4,665 3,329
Capital expenditures reserves 2,714 2,060
Escrow deposit 500 1,000
Deposits pursuant to outstanding letters of credit 42 42
Other reserves 192 -
Total restricted cash 13,452 13,668
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 37,663 $ 17,750
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired or that the depreciation period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal factors such as net operating losses along with external factors relating to each asset, including contract changes, local market developments, and other publicly available information to determine whether impairment indicators exist.
If an indicator of impairment is identified, recoverability of an asset group is assessed by comparing its carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group through operation or disposition, calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If this comparison indicates that the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable,the Company estimates fair value of the asset group and records an impairment loss when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. There were no impairments on long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
In evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment, we undergo continuous evaluations of property level performance and real estate trends, and management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition, estimated sales price, and future cash flows of each property during our estimated holding period. If our analysis or assumptions regarding the projected cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties change, we incur additional costs and expenses during the holding period, or our expected hold periods change, we may incur future impairment losses.
Upon the acquisition of new communities accounted for as an acquisition of assets, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, measured at their relative fair values once we have determined the fair value of each of these assets and liabilities. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, and identified intangible assets and liabilities. See "Note 4-Property and Equipment, net."

Revenue Recognition
Resident revenue consists of fees for basic housing and certain support services and fees associated with additional housing and expanded support requirements such as assisted living care, memory care, and ancillary services. Basic housing and certain support services revenue is recorded when services are rendered, and amounts billed are due from residents in the period in which the rental and other services are provided. Residency agreements are generally short term in nature with durations of one year or less and are typically terminable by either party, under certain circumstances, upon providing 30 days' notice, unless state law provides otherwise, with resident fees billed monthly in advance. Revenue for certain ancillary services is recognized as services are provided, and includes fees for services such as medication management, daily living activities, beautician/barber, laundry, television, guest meals, pets, and parking, which are generally billed monthly in arrears. Other operating revenue consists of state relief funds received from various states due to the financial distress impacts of COVID-19 ("State Relief Funds").
The Company's senior housing communities have residency agreements that generally require the resident to pay a community fee and other amounts prior to moving into the community, which are initially recorded by the Company as deferred revenue. The Company had contract liabilities for deferred fees paid by our residents prior to the month housing and support services were to be provided totaling approximately $4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, which is reported as deferred income within current liabilities of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Revenues from the Medicaid program accounted for 11.6% and 9.3% of the Company's revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 22 and 24, respectively, of the Company's communities were providers of services under the Medicaid program. Accordingly, these communities were entitled to reimbursement under the Medicaid program at established rates that were lower than private pay rates. Resident revenues for Medicaid residents were recorded at the reimbursement rates as the rates were set prospectively by the applicable state upon the filing of an annual cost report. None of the Company's communities were providers of services under the Medicare program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Laws and regulations governing the Medicaid program are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicaid program.
The Company has management agreements whereby it manages certain communities on behalf of third-party owners under contracts that provide for periodic management fee payments to the Company. The Company has determined that all community management activities are a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as the services are rendered. The Company's estimate of the transaction price for management services also includes the amount of reimbursement due from the owners of the communities for services provided and related costs incurred. Such revenue is included in "managed community reimbursement revenue" on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related costs are included in "managed community reimbursement expense" on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. See "Note 8-Revenue."
10

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received approximately $2.0 million in various State Relief Funds from state departments due to financial distress impacts of COVID-19. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, no State Relief Funds were received from the state departments. The Company recognizes income for government grants on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the related expenses or loss of revenue for which the grants are intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the applicable terms and conditions of the grant and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. The State Relief Funds were recorded as "resident revenue-other operating revenue" in the Company's condensed statements of operations and notes thereto.
Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company's resident accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days after the date billed. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.7 million and $5.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and represent the Company's estimate of the amount that ultimately will be collected. The adequacy of the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, write-off experience, analyses of receivable portfolios by payor source and aging of receivables, as well as a review of specific accounts, and adjustments are made to the allowance, as necessary. Credit losses on resident receivables have historically been within management's estimates, and management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts adequately provides for expected losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Business Risk
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from senior living communities we own and senior living communities that we manage. Senior living operations are particularly sensitive to adverse economic, social and competitive conditions and trends, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have a concentration of owned properties operating in Texas (16), Indiana (12), Ohio (10) and Wisconsin (8), which we estimate represented approximately 23%, 19%, 20% and 10%, respectively, of our resident revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Self-Insurance Liability Accruals
The Company offers full-time employees an option to participate in its health and dental plans. The Company is self-insured up to certain limits and is insured if claims in excess of these limits are incurred. The cost of employee health and dental benefits, net of employee contributions, is shared between the corporate office and the senior housing communities based on the respective number of plan participants. Funds collected are used to pay the actual program costs, including estimated annual claims, third-party administrative fees, network provider fees, communication costs, and other related administrative costs incurred by the plans. Claims are paid as they are submitted to the Company's third-party administrator. The Company records a liability for outstanding claims and claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. This liability is based on the historical claim reporting lag and payment trends of health insurance claims. Management believes that the recorded liabilities and reserves established for outstanding losses and expenses are adequate to cover the ultimate cost of losses and expenses incurred as of March 31, 2024. It is possible that actual claims and expenses may differ from established reserves. Any subsequent changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for workers' compensation. Determining the reserve for workers' compensation losses and costs that the Company has incurred as of the end of a reporting period involves significant judgments based on projected future events, including among other factors, potential settlements for pending claims, known incidents which may result in claims, estimates of incurred but not yet reported claims, changes in insurance premiums and estimated litigation costs. The Company regularly adjusts these estimates to reflect changes in the foregoing factors. However, since this reserve is based on estimates, it is possible the actual expenses incurred may differ from the amounts reserved. Any subsequent changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method and current income taxes are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 differ from the statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, and changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
11

Deferred income taxes are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of loss carryforwards and temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects those carryforwards and temporary differences to be recovered or settled. Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. The valuation allowance reduces the Company's net deferred tax assets to the amount that is "more likely than not" (i.e., a greater than 50% likelihood) to be realized. However, in the event that the Company were to ultimately determine that it would be more likely than not that the Company would realize the benefit of deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amounts, adjustments to deferred tax assets would increase net income in the period such determination was made. The benefits of the net deferred tax assets might not be realized if actual results differ from expectations.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions through consideration of accounting and reporting guidance on criteria, measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different companies. The Company is required to recognize a tax benefit in its financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management's assessment is that its position is "more likely than not" (i.e., a greater than 50 percent likelihood) to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as income tax expense.
The Company filed for an employee retention credit ("ERC") with the Internal Revenue Service in November 2023. The ERC is a tax credit for businesses that had employees and were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not received any funds from the ERC as of March 31, 2024.
The Company is evaluating the potential tax impact of the Protective Life Insurance Company gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $38.1 million.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is convertible outside of our control and is classified as mezzanine equity. The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs and discounts. The holders, or Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP and Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP (together, the "Conversant Preferred Investors"), of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. As such, the Conversant Preferred Investors, in combination with their common stock ownership as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, have voting rights in excess of 50% of the Company's total voting stock. It is deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Stock could be redeemed for cash by the Conversant Preferred Investors, and as such, the Series A Preferred Stock is required to be remeasured and adjusted to its maximum redemption value at the end of each reporting period. However, to the extent that the maximum redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock does not exceed the fair value of the shares at the date of issuance, the shares are not adjusted below the fair value at the date of issuance. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Series A Preferred Stock is carried at the maximum redemption value. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a maturity date and, therefore, is considered perpetual.

Dividends on redeemable Series A Preferred Stock are recorded to retained earnings or additional paid-in capital if retained earnings is an accumulated deficit. Dividends are cumulative, and any declaration of dividends is at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). If the Board does not declare a dividend in respect of any dividend payment date, the amount of such accrued and unpaid dividend is added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and compounds quarterly thereafter. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Board did not declare any dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, and accordingly, an aggregate of $1.3 million was added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock during such period, effectively increasing the carrying value of the redeemable preferred stock.

Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in interest rates. We are also required to enter into interest rate derivative instruments in compliance with certain debt agreements. We regularly monitor the financial stability and credit standing of the counterparties to our derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We record all derivatives at fair value. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our derivative instruments consisted of interest rate caps that were not designated as hedge instruments. Changes in fair value of undesignated hedge instruments are recorded in current period earnings as interest expense. See "Note 14-Derivatives and Hedging."
Net Income Per Common Share
The Company uses the two-class method to compute net income per common share because the Company has issued securities (Series A Preferred Stock) that entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company. Under this method, net income is reduced by the amount of any dividends earned during the period. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock (on an if-converted basis) to the extent that each preferred security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock is then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no obligation to fund losses.
Diluted net income per common share is computed under the two-class method by using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the potential dilutive effects of stock options, stock-based compensation awards, and warrants. In addition, the Company analyzes the potential dilutive effect of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock under the "if-converted" method when calculating diluted earnings per share, in which it is assumed that the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock converts into common stock at the beginning of the period or when issued, if later. The Company reports the more dilutive of the approaches (two class or "if-converted") as its diluted net income per share during the period. See "Note 9-Net Income Per Share."
Segment Reporting
The Company evaluates the performance and allocates resources of its senior living communities based on current operations and market assessments on a property-by-property basis. The Company does not have a concentration of operations geographically or by product or service as its management functions are integrated at the property level. The Company has determined that its operating units meet the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280, Segment Reporting, to be aggregated into one reporting segment. As such, the Company operates in one segment.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company assesses all loan modifications with existing lenders to determine if it is a troubled debt restructuring. A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring when two conditions are met: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) concessions are made for the borrower's benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or a transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. The Company compares the total cash outflows of the restructured debt to the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructure. If cash outflows of the restructured debt are less than the carrying amount, a gain is recognized and the carrying amount of the debt is adjusted. If cash outflows of the restructured debt are more than the carrying amount, no gain or loss is recognized and the carrying amount of the debt is not adjusted. The change in cash outflows resulting from the restructuring is accounted for on a prospective basis by calculating a new effective interest rate on the restructured debt and applying it to recognize lower interest expense over the remaining term. See "Note 6-Notes Payable."

Protective Life Insurance Company Loan Repurchase Agreement and Ally Term Loan Expansion
We entered into an agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective") pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to purchase the outstanding indebtedness it owed to Protective for a purchase price of $40.2 million (plus the reimbursement of certain amounts advanced to the Company by Protective). On February 2, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the total outstanding principal balance of $74.4 million from Protective Life that was secured by seven of the Company's senior living communities (such transaction, the "Protective Life Loan Purchase"). The Protective Life Loan Purchase was funded by expanding the Company's existing loan facility with Ally Bank ("Ally") by $24.8 million and the remainder was funded by proceeds from the 2024 Private Placement, see "Note 7-Securities Financing." The Protective Life Loan Purchase and Ally financing closed on February 2, 2024, reduced notes payable by $49.6 million, and resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment totaling $38.1 million. The Company incurred deferred loan costs of $0.5 million as part of the Ally financing that will be amortized over the loan term. As part of the agreement with Ally, the Company expanded its current interest rate cap to include the additional borrowing at a cost of $0.6 million. The expanded Ally debt facility is secured by six of the Company's senior living communities involved in the Protective Life Loan Purchase.

Fannie Mae Loan Modification
OnJune 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Fannie Forbearancewith Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") for all 37 of its encumbered communities, effective as of June 1, 2023 ("Fannie Forbearance Effective Date"). Under the Fannie Forbearance, Fannie Mae agreed to forbear on its remedies otherwise available under the community mortgages and Master Credit Facility ("MCF") in connection with reduced debt service payments made by the Company during the forbearance period. In connection with the Fannie Forbearance, the Company made a $5.0 million principal payment in July 2023. The Fannie Forbearance was the first of a two-step process to modify all existing mortgage loan agreements with Fannie Mae by October 2023 under proposed loan modification agreements, as defined in the Fannie Forbearance ("Loan Modification Agreements"). Terms outlined in an agreed upon term sheet accompanying the Fannie Forbearance were included in the Loan Modification Agreements as the final step to modify the various 37 Fannie Mae community mortgages and MCF prior to the expiration of the Fannie Forbearance, which was subsequently extended to October 6, 2023.
The Company entered into Loan Modification Agreements with Fannie Mae on October 2, 2023. The material terms of the Loan Modification Agreements were as follows:
Maturities on 18 community mortgages, ranging from July 2024 to December 2026, were extended to December 2026. The remaining 19 communities under the MCF have existing maturities in January 2029.
The Company is not required to make scheduled principal payments due under the 18 community mortgages and 19 communities under the MCF through the revised maturity date of December 2026 or 36 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date, respectively.
The monthly interest rate was reduced by a 1.5% weighted average on all 37 communities for 12 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date and deferred (the "Fannie Interest Abatement Period"). On June 1, 2024, the reduced interest rates will expire.
The Company is required to make a second principal payment of $5.0 million with respect to the Fannie Mae debt which is due on June 1, 2024, the one-year anniversary of the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date.
The Company provided a full corporate guaranty in the amount of $5.0 millionrelated to the second principal payment of $5.0 million (the "Second Payment Guaranty"). This guaranty will fully expire upon payment of the second $5.0 million principal payment due June 1, 2024.
In addition to the Second Payment Guaranty above, the Company also provided a $10.0 million guaranty (the "Supplemental Fannie Guaranty"). After the expiration of 24 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date, Sonida may discharge the full amount of the Supplemental Fannie Guaranty by making a $5.0 million principal payment to Fannie Mae on its community mortgages and/or its MCF.
In the first twelve months following the effective date of the Loan Modification Agreements, the Company is required to escrow 50% of Net Cash Flow less Debt Service (as defined in the Fannie mortgages and MCF) on an aggregate basis over all 37 Fannie Mae communities. The excess cash flow will be deposited into a lender-controlled capital expenditure reserve on a monthly basis to support the re-investment into certain communities, as mutually determined by the Company and Fannie Mae. The Company will be able to draw down such amounts on qualifying projects as the capital expenditures are incurred.
The Company determined that the Fannie loan modification was a troubled debt restructuring where the total cash outflows exceed the current carrying value of the debt. Restructuring costs related to the Loan Modification Agreements are included in deferred loan costs and are being amortized over the lives of the Fannie Mae loans.

Transactions Involving Certain Fannie Mae Loans

During 2020, the Company initiated a process to transfer the operations and ownership of 18 properties to Fannie Mae. In January 2023, the Company received notice that the foreclosure sales conducted by Fannie Mae had successfully transitioned the remaining two properties to new owners. This event relieved the Company of the existing Fannie Mae debt relating to the two properties. Accordingly, the Company recognized a total of $36.3 million for the gain on debt extinguishments for the three months ended March 31, 2023. With the transition of these two remaining properties, the 18 total Fannie Mae properties' foreclosure was complete.
2024Ally Loan Amendment
On February 2, 2024, the Company expanded the existing loan facility with Ally by $24.8 million to partially fund the Protective Life Loan Purchase. The Company incurred deferred loan costs of $0.5 million as part of the Ally financing that will be amortized over the loan term. As part of the agreement with Ally, the Company expanded its current interest rate cap to include the additional loan obligation at a cost of $0.6 million. The expanded Ally debt facility is secured by six of the Company's senior living communities involved in the Protective Life Loan Purchase.
Some terms with Ally on the expanded loan facility include: delayed draws will not be available until successful syndication of the loan, a payroll tax reserve account was established, and certain financial covenant requirements were updated.
2023Ally Loan Amendment
On June 29, 2023, and concurrent with the Fannie Forbearance, we executed an amendment ("2023 Ally Amendment") to the Ally term loan agreement ("Ally Term Loan" or "Ally Term Loan Agreement") and an amended guaranty ("Second Amended Ally Guaranty") with Ally Bank with terms as follows:
With respect to the Second Amended Ally Guaranty, Ally will grant the Company, as Guarantor, a waiver ("Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver" or "Waiver") of the liquid assets minimum requirement of $13.0 million for a 12-month period. On July 1, 2024, a new liquid assets threshold of $7.0 million will be effective, with such threshold increasing $1.0 million per month through the earlier of the release of the Waiver period or December 31, 2024.
During the Waiver period, a new and temporary liquid assets minimum threshold ("Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold") will be established. The Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold is $6.0 million and is measured weekly. If breached, the "Excess Cash Flow Sweep" is triggered and all excess cash from the communities collateralizing the Ally Term Loan will be swept into an "Equity Cure Fund", as defined in the Ally Term Loan Agreement. As provided for in the 2023 Ally Amendment, the Excess Cash Flow Sweep, if triggered, will cease upon the achievement of meeting or exceeding the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold for four consecutive weeks. Consistent with the Ally Term Loan, all amounts held in escrow (i.e., Debt Service Escrow and IRC Reserve) will be included and combined with the Company's unrestricted cash for purposes of measurement against the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold.
During the Waiver period, Ally will collect the equivalent of the monthly Ally Term Loan principal payment (as provided for in the Ally Term Loan Agreement) of approximately $117,000 through an Ally controlled escrow ("Waiver Principal Reserve Account").
Upon meeting the Ally Term Loan's Liquid Assets Threshold of $13.0 million, the Company may elect to remove the Waiver, with initial terms in the Ally Term Loan applicable again, except as described further below.
In July 2023, we were required to fund $2.3 million to an interest rate cap reserve ("IRC Reserve") held by Ally, which represented the quoted cost of a one-year interest rate cap on the full $88.1 million notional value of the Ally Term Loan at a 2.25% SOFR strike rate. On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into a new SOFR-based interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $88.1 million at a cost of $2.4 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a 12-month term and caps the floating interest rate portion of our indebtedness with Ally Bank at 2.25%. Until the terms of the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver have expired or have been met and elected at the Company's discretion, the IRC Reserve is required to be replenished to its replacement cost.
To the extent either the Second Payment Guaranty or Supplemental Fannie Guaranty have not been discharged, any uncured monetary event of default under the Fannie Forbearance will constitute a cross default under the 2023 Ally Amendment, resulting in the immediate trigger of a full excess cash flow sweep for the communities collateralizing the Ally Term Loan as well as additional performance and liquidity reporting requirements.
17

Subsequent to the Waiver period, all funds in the Waiver Principal Reserve Account as well as any funds swept into the Equity Cure Fund will be released to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Fannie Forbearance, the 2023 Ally Amendment, Second Amended Ally Guaranty, and the Loan Modification Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Fannie Forbearance, the 2023 Ally Amendment and Second Amended Ally Guaranty which are filed as Exhibits 10.21, 10.22 and 10.23, respectively, and the Loan Modification Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.24 and 10.25 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
Notes Payable - Insurance
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company renewed certain insurance policies and entered into several finance agreements totaling approximately $3.3 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had finance agreements totaling $0.9 million, with fixed interest rates ranging from 6.25% to 6.50%, and weighted average rate of 6.32%, with principal amounts being fully repaid over ten-month terms.
Other Debt Transactions
The Company had notes payable related to rent payments due to Healthpeak as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On March 21, 2024, following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held on March 21, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Delaware Secretary of State to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 15,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares (the "Stockholder Approval"). The charter amendment became effective upon filing.
2024 Private Placement Transaction
On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP, Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP and several other shareholders (together, the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to sell to the Investors, in a private placement transaction (the "2024 Private Placement") pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), an aggregate of 5,026,318 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $9.50 per share.

The 2024 Private Placement occurred in two tranches. The first tranche occurred on February 1, 2024, at which time 3,350,878 shares of common stock were issued and sold to the Investors for $31.8 million. The second tranche occurred on March 22, 2024, at which time 1,675,440 shares of common stock were issued and sold to the Investors for $15.9 million. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the first closing of the 2024 Private Placement to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the Protective Life Loan Purchase and the Company intends to use the remaining proceeds for ongoing working capital, continued investments in community improvements, potential acquisitions of new communities, broader community programming and general corporate purposes. As of March 22, 2024, the majority of our common stock is held by Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP, Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP, and Conversant Dallas Parkway (D) LP (together, "Conversant" or the "Conversant Investors").

Series A Preferred Stock

In November 2021, the Company issued 41,250 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible outside of the Company's control and, in accordance with GAAP, is classified as mezzanine equity, outside the stockholders' equity (deficit) section, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Series A Preferred Stock has an 11% annual dividend calculated on the original investment of approximately $41.3 million accrued quarterly in arrears and compounded. Dividends are cumulative, and any declaration of dividends is at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. If the Board does not declare a dividend in respect of any dividend payment date, the amount of such accrued and unpaid dividend is added to the liquidation preference and compounds quarterly thereafter. On March 31, 2024, the Board did not declare dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, and accordingly, $1.3 million was added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, effectively increasing the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, a total of $8.6 million has been added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Conversant Equity Commitment
In connection with the Fannie Forbearance and 2023 Ally Amendment signed on June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a $13.5 million equity commitment agreement ("Equity Commitment") with Conversant for a term of 18 months. Sonida has the right, but not the obligation, to utilize Conversant's equity commitment and may draw on the commitment in whole or in part, subject to the terms and conditions therein and applicable laws and regulations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $3.5 million remaining under its Equity Commitment with Conversant, and the Equity Commitment is in effect through December 31, 2024.

10. Stock-Based Compensation
TheCompany's uses equity awards as a long-term retention program that is intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for employees, officers, and directors and to more closely align stockholder and employee interests. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all of its share-based stock awards based on their fair values.
The Company recognized $0.6 million and $0.9 million in stock-based compensation expense for the threemonths ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had contractual commitments of $3.1 million related to future renovations and technology enhancements to its communities, which are expected to be substantially expendedduring 2024.
The Company has claims incurred in the normal course of its business. Most of these claims are believed by management to be covered by insurance, subject to deductibles, normal reservations of rights by the insurance companies and possibly subject to certain exclusions in the applicable insurance policies. Whether or not covered by insurance, these claims, in the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, should not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

12. Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2024, Conversant and its affiliates beneficially owned approximately 61% of our outstanding shares of common stock (inclusive of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and outstanding warrants).
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Conversant Investors purchased an additional 3,157,895 shares of common stock of the Company for $30.0 million. See "Note 7-Securities Financing."
13. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company uses interest rate cap arrangements with financial institutions to manage exposure to interest rate changes for loans that utilize floating interest rates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $113.0 million and $138.4 million, respectively. The fair value of these derivative assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which was determined using significant observable inputs (Level 2), including quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions, and third-party pricing services.
Financial Instruments Not Reported at Fair Value
For those financial instruments not carried at fair value, the carrying amount and estimated fair values of our financial assets and liabilities were as follows as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Carrying
Amount
Fair Value Carrying

Cash and cash equivalents $ 24,211 $ 24,211 $ 4,082 $ 4,082
Restricted cash 13,452 13,452 13,668 13,668
Notes payable, excluding deferred loan costs $ 582,456 $ 538,271 $ 633,783 $ 597,266
We believe the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of notes payable, excluding deferred loan costs, is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which represent Level 2 inputs as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company adjusts the carrying amount of certain non-financialassets to fair value on a non-recurring basis when they are impaired. There were noimpairment losses for the threemonths endedMarch 31, 2024 and 2023.
14. Derivatives and Hedging
TheCompany uses derivatives as part of its overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in interest rates. We are also required to enter into interest rate derivative instruments in compliance with certain debt agreements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
On March 1, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $50.3 million to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with a portion of its variable mortgage notes payable. The interest rate cap agreement had a 24-month term and effectively capped LIBOR at 4.00% from March 1, 2022 through March 1, 2024 with respect to such floating rate indebtedness. LIBOR rates were no longer available after June 30, 2023, and, as a result, this derivative instrument has transitioned to the SOFR rate. In the event SOFR is less than the capped rate, we will pay interest at the lower SOFR rate. In the event SOFR is higher than the capped rate, we will pay interest at the capped rate of 4.00% plus the
21

applicable margin. The interest rate cap is not designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815-20, Derivatives - Hedging, and therefore, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are included as a component of interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See "Note 15-Subsequent Events" regarding the Company's replacement derivative instrument purchased during April 2024.
On December 1, 2023, in order to comply with the lender's requirements under the Ally Bank loan agreements, the Company entered into a SOFR-based interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $88.1 million at a cost of $2.4 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a 12-month term and effectively caps the interest rate at 2.25% with respect to the portion of our floating rate indebtedness. On February 2, 2024, as part of the Ally Term Loan expansion, the Company entered into a SOFR-based interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $24.8 million at a cost of $0.6 million. See "Note 6-Notes Payable." The interest rate caps are not designated as hedges under ASC 815-20, "Derivatives -Hedging," and therefore, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are included as a component of interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

15. Subsequent Events
At-the Market Equity Offerings
On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, who is acting as the sole sales agent (the "Agent"). Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may sell, at its option, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75,000,000 (the "Shares") through the Agent. Sales of the Shares made pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, if any, will be made under the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2023 (File No. 333-271545), which includes a base prospectus and was declared effective on May 9, 2023 (the "Registration Statement"), and the prospectus supplement dated April 1, 2024 relating to the offering and filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), in each case, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may propose that the Agent place Shares pursuant to the terms set forth in a placement notice (each, a "Transaction"). The Agent may sell the Shares, if any, in a Transaction only by methods deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on The New York Stock Exchange, on any other trading market for the
22

common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, the Agent may, with the Company's prior written consent, sell Shares by any other method permitted by law, including negotiated transactions. The Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Shares in a Transaction in accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement and any applicable placement notice.
The ATM Sales Agreement provides that the Agent will be entitled to receive a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares in a Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company also provided the Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The offering of common stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of, among other things, (i) the sale of all of the Shares subject to the ATM Sales Agreement and (ii) the termination of the ATM Sales Agreement by the Company or by the Agent, following delivery of sufficient written notice by the Company or the Agent to the other party. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any additional Shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.
The Company currently anticipates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, if any, will be used for potential acquisition opportunities, capital expenditure projects at the Company's senior living communities, working capital and other general corporate purposes. See "Item 6. Exhibits."
On April 5, 2024, the Company sold 382,000 shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement at $27.50 per share for net proceeds of $10.3 million, inclusive of $0.2 million in commissions paid to its Agent. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any additional shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.
Derivative Purchase
During April 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $49.2 million for $1.1 million to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with a portion of our variable mortgage notes payable to Fannie Mae. The interest rate cap has 24-month term and effectively caps SOFR at 4.00% from April 1, 2024 through April 1, 2026 with respect to such floating rate indebtedness. In the event SOFR is less than the capped rate, we will pay interest at the lower SOFR rate. In the event SOFR is higher than the capped rate, we will pay interest at the capped rate of 4.00% plus the applicable margin. The Company is funding an IRC reserve for a replacement IRC which is held by the lender.

Macedonia Acquisition
In April 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire a community located in Macedonia, Ohio and all in-place leases for a purchase price totaling $10.7 million that closed on May 9, 2024. In conjunction with the closing, the Company entered into a mortgage loan totaling $9.4 million. The Company also entered into a SOFR-based interest rate cap to reduce exposure to the variable interest rate fluctuations associated with the new mortgage. The total cost of the IRC was $0.2 million and has an aggregate notional amount of $9.4 million. The IRC has a 24-month term and effectively caps SOFR at 6.00% from May 9, 2024 through May 1, 2026 with respect to such floating rate indebtedness.
Management Agreement Letter of Intent
During March 2024, the Company received a Non-Binding Letter of Intent from a public Real Estate Investment Trust in which the Company would manage three properties in exchange for a management fee. The transition of the three properties is anticipated to occur on June 1, 2024. The completion of this potential transaction is subject to several conditions, including the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive management agreements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that this potential transaction will be completed upon the terms or dates contemplated, if at all.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help provide an understanding of our business and results of operations. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This report, including the following MD&A, contains forward-looking statements regarding future events or trends that should be read in conjunction with the risks, uncertainties and other factors described under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" above in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, as well as "Item. 1A. Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in such statements as a result of such risks, uncertainties and other factors. Unless otherwise specified or where the context otherwise requires, references in this Report to "our," "we," "us," "Sonida", the "Company" and "our business" refer to Sonida Senior Living, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis addresses (i) the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and (ii) liquidity and capital resources of the Company.
The Company is one of the leading owner-operators of senior housing communities in the United States. The Company's operating strategy is to provide value to its senior living residents by providing quality senior living services at reasonable prices, while achieving and sustaining a strong, competitive position within its geographically concentrated regions, as well as continuing to enhance the performance of its operations. The Company generally provides senior living services to the 75+ population, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care services at reasonable prices. Many of the Company's communities offer a continuum of care to meet each of their resident's needs as they change over time. This continuum of care, which integrates independent living, assisted living, and memory care that may be bridged by home care through independent home care agencies, sustains our residents' autonomy and independence based on their physical and mental abilities.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company operated 71 senior housing communities in 18 states with an aggregate capacity of approximately 8,000 residents, including 61 owned senior housing communities and 10 communities that the Company third-party manages.
Significant Financial and Operational Highlights
Operations
The Company derives its revenue primarily by providing senior living and healthcare services to seniors. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated resident revenue of approximately $60.7 million compared to approximately $56.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of 7.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy and increased average rent rates.
Weighted average occupancy for the threemonths ended March 31, 2024and 2023for the communities owned by the Company was 85.9% and 83.9%, respectively, reflecting continued occupancy recovery. The average monthly rental rate for the threemonths ended March 31, 2024was 5.9%higher as compared to the threemonths ended March 31, 2023.
Management Services
The Company has property management agreements with affiliates of Ventas, Inc. (collectively, "Ventas") pursuant to which the Company manages certain communities for Ventas, and Ventas pays the Company a management fee based on gross revenues of the applicable communities, as well as an incentive management fee, and other customary terms and conditions. The Company managed ten communities on behalf of Ventas during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Protective Life Insurance Company Loan Repurchase Agreement and Ally Term Loan Expansion
We entered into an agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective") pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to purchase the outstanding indebtedness it owed to Protective for a purchase price of $40.2 million (plus the reimbursement of certain amounts advanced to the Company by Protective). On February 2, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the total outstanding principal balance of $74.4 million from Protective that was secured by seven of the Company's senior living communities (such transaction, the "Protective Life Loan Purchase"). The Protective Life Loan Purchase was funded by expanding the Company's existing loan facility with Ally Bank
24

("Ally") by $24.8 million and the remainder was funded by proceeds from the 2024 Private Placement described below. The Protective Life Loan Purchase and Ally financing closed on February 2, 2024, reduced notes payable by $49.6 million, and resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment totaling $38.1 million. The Company incurred deferred loan costs of $0.5 million as part of the Ally financing that will be amortized over the loan term. As part of the agreement with Ally, the Company expanded its current interest rate cap to include the additional borrowing at a cost of $0.6 million. The expanded Ally debt facility is secured by six of the Company's senior living communities involved in the Protective Life Loan Purchase.
Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On March 21, 2024, following receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders held on March 21, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Delaware Secretary of State to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 15,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares (the "Stockholder Approval"). The charter amendment became effective upon filing.
2024 Private Placement Transaction
On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP, Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP and several other shareholders (together, the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to sell to the Investors, in a private placement transaction (the "2024 Private Placement") pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), an aggregate of 5,026,318 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $9.50 per share.
The 2024 Private Placement occurred in two tranches. The first tranche occurred on February 1, 2024, at which time 3,350,878 shares of common stock were issued and sold to the Investors for a total of approximately $31.8 million. The second tranche occurred on March 22, 2024, at which time 1,675,440 shares of common stock were issued and sold to the Investors for a total of approximately $15.9 million. The second tranche occurred following receipt of the Stockholder Approval. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the first closing of the 2024 Private Placement to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the Protective Life Loan Purchase. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds for ongoing working capital, continued investments in community improvements, potential acquisitions of new communities, broader community programming and general corporate purposes. As of March 22, 2024, the majority of our common stock is held by Conversant Dallas Parkway (A) LP, Conversant Dallas Parkway (B) LP, and Conversant Dallas Parkway (D) LP (together, "Conversant" or the "Conversant Investors").
Other Significant Transactions
Fannie Mae Loan Modification
OnJune 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Fannie Forbearancewith Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") for all 37 of its encumbered communities, effective as of June 1, 2023 ("Fannie Forbearance Effective Date"). Under the Fannie Forbearance, Fannie Mae agreed to forbear on its remedies otherwise available under the community mortgages and Master Credit Facility ("MCF") in connection with reduced debt service payments made by the Company during the forbearance period. In connection with the Fannie Forbearance, the Company made a $5.0 million principal payment in July 2023. The Fannie Forbearance was the first of a two-step process to modify all existing mortgage loan agreements with Fannie Mae by October 2023 under proposed loan modification agreements, as defined in the Fannie Forbearance ("Loan Modification Agreements"). Terms outlined in an agreed upon term sheet accompanying the Fannie Forbearance were included in the Loan Modification Agreements as the final step to modify the various 37 Fannie Mae community mortgages and MCF prior to the expiration of the Fannie Forbearance, which was subsequently extended to October 6, 2023.
The Company entered into Loan Modification Agreements with Fannie Mae on October 2, 2023. The material terms of the Loan Modification Agreements were as follows:
Maturities on 18 community mortgages, ranging from July 2024 to December 2026, were extended to December 2026. The remaining 19 communities under the MCF have existing maturities in January 2029.
The Company is not required to make scheduled principal payments due under the 18 community mortgages and 19 communities under the MCF through the revised maturity date of December 2026 or 36 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date, respectively.
25

The monthly interest rate was reduced by a 1.5% weighted average on all 37 communities for 12 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date and deferred (the "Fannie Interest Abatement Period"). On June 1, 2024, the reduced interest rates will expire.
The Company is required to make a second principal payment of $5.0 million with respect to the Fannie Mae debt which is due on June 1, 2024, the one-year anniversary of the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date.
The Company provided a full corporate guaranty in the amount of $5.0 millionrelated to the second principal payment of $5.0 million (the "Second Payment Guaranty"). This guaranty will fully expire upon payment of the second $5.0 million principal payment due June 1, 2024.
In addition to the Second Payment Guaranty above, the Company also provided a $10.0 million guaranty (the "Supplemental Fannie Guaranty"). After the expiration of 24 months from the Fannie Forbearance Effective Date, Sonida may discharge the full amount of the Supplemental Fannie Guaranty by making a $5.0 million principal payment to Fannie Mae on its community mortgages and/or its MCF.
In the first twelve months following the effective date of the Loan Modification Agreements, the Company is required to escrow 50% of Net Cash Flow less Debt Service (as defined in the Fannie mortgages and MCF) on an aggregate basis over all 37 Fannie Mae communities. The excess cash flow will be deposited into a lender-controlled capital expenditure reserve on a monthly basis to support the re-investment into certain communities, as mutually determined by the Company and Fannie Mae. The Company will be able to draw down such amounts on qualifying projects as the capital expenditures are incurred.
The Company determined that the Fannie loan modification was a troubled debt restructuring where the total cash outflows exceed the current carrying value of the debt. Restructuring costs related to the Loan Modification Agreements are included in deferred loan costs and are being amortized over the lives of the Fannie Mae loans.
Transactions Involving Certain Fannie Mae Loans

During 2020, the Company initiated a process to transfer the operations and ownership of 18 properties to Fannie Mae. In January 2023, the Company received notice that the foreclosure sales conducted by Fannie Mae had successfully transitioned the remaining two properties to new owners. This event relieved the Company of the existing Fannie Mae debt relating to the two properties. Accordingly, the Company recognized a total of $36.3 million for the gain on debt extinguishments for the three months ended March 31, 2023. With the transition of these two remaining properties, the 18 total Fannie Mae properties' foreclosure was complete.
2024Ally Loan Amendment
On February 2, 2024, the Company expanded the existing loan facility with Ally by $24.8 million to partially fund the Protective Life Loan Purchase. The Company incurred deferred loan costs of $0.5 million as part of the Ally financing that will be amortized over the loan term. As part of the agreement with Ally, the Company expanded its current interest rate cap to include the additional loan obligation at a cost of $0.6 million. The expanded Ally debt facility is secured by six of the Company's senior living communities involved in the Protective Life Loan Purchase.
Some terms with Ally on the expanded loan facility include: delayed draws will not be available until successful syndication of the loan, a payroll tax reserve account was established, and certain financial covenant requirements were updated.
2023Ally Loan Amendment
On June 29, 2023, and concurrent with the Fannie Forbearance, we executed an amendment ("2023 Ally Amendment") to the Ally term loan agreement ("Ally Term Loan" or "Ally Term Loan Agreement") and an amended guaranty ("Second Amended Ally Guaranty") with Ally Bank with terms as follows:
With respect to the Second Amended Ally Guaranty, Ally will grant the Company, as Guarantor, a waiver ("Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver" or "Waiver") of the liquid assets minimum requirement of $13.0 million for a 12-month period. On July 1, 2024, a new liquid assets threshold of $7.0 million will be effective, with such threshold increasing $1.0 million per month through the earlier of the release of the Waiver period or December 31, 2024.
During the Waiver period, a new and temporary liquid assets minimum threshold ("Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold") will be established. The Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold is
26

$6.0 million and is measured weekly. If breached, the "Excess Cash Flow Sweep" is triggered and all excess cash from the communities collateralizing the Ally Term Loan will be swept into an "Equity Cure Fund", as defined in the Ally Term Loan Agreement. As provided for in the 2023 Ally Amendment, the Excess Cash Flow Sweep, if triggered, will cease upon the achievement of meeting or exceeding the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold for four consecutive weeks. Consistent with the Ally Term Loan, all amounts held in escrow (i.e., Debt Service Escrow and IRC Reserve) will be included and combined with the Company's unrestricted cash for purposes of measurement against the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver Minimum Threshold.
During the Waiver period, Ally will collect the equivalent of the monthly Ally Term Loan principal payment (as provided for in the Ally Term Loan Agreement) of approximately $117,000 through an Ally controlled escrow ("Waiver Principal Reserve Account").
Upon meeting the Ally Term Loan's Liquid Assets Threshold of $13.0 million, the Company may elect to remove the Waiver, with initial terms in the Ally Term Loan applicable again, except as described further below.
In July 2023, we were required to fund $2.3 million to an interest rate cap reserve ("IRC Reserve") held by Ally, which represented the quoted cost of a one-year interest rate cap on the full $88.1 million notional value of the Ally Term Loan at a 2.25% SOFR strike rate. On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into a new SOFR-based interest rate cap transaction for an aggregate notional amount of $88.1 million at a cost of $2.4 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a 12-month term and caps the floating interest rate portion of our indebtedness with Ally Bank at 2.25%. Until the terms of the Limited Payment Guaranty Waiver have expired or have been met and elected at the Company's discretion, the IRC Reserve is required to be replenished to its replacement cost.
To the extent either the Second Payment Guaranty or Supplemental Fannie Guaranty have not been discharged, any uncured monetary event of default under the Fannie Forbearance will constitute a cross default under the 2023 Ally Amendment, resulting in the immediate trigger of a full excess cash flow sweep for the communities collateralizing the Ally Term Loan as well as additional performance and liquidity reporting requirements.
Subsequent to the Waiver period, all funds in the Waiver Principal Reserve Account as well as any funds swept into the Equity Cure Fund will be released to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Fannie Forbearance, the 2023 Ally Amendment, Second Amended Ally Guaranty, and the Loan Modification Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Fannie Forbearance, the 2023 Ally Amendment and Second Amended Ally Guaranty which are filed as Exhibits 10.21, 10.22 and 10.23, respectively, and the Loan Modification Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.24 and 10.25 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
Conversant Equity Commitment
In connection with the Fannie Forbearance and 2023 Ally Amendment signed on June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a $13.5 million equity commitment agreement ("Equity Commitment") with Conversant for a term of 18 months. Sonida has the right, but not the obligation, to utilize Conversant's equity commitment and may draw on the commitment in whole or in part, subject to the terms and conditions therein and applicable laws and regulations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $3.5 million remaining under its Equity Commitment with Conversant, and the Equity Commitment is in effect through December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2023
Revenues
Resident revenue for the threemonths ended March 31, 2024 was $60.7 million as compared to $56.6 million for the threemonths ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $4.1 million, or 7.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased occupancy and increased average rent rates. For the threemonths ended March 31, 2023, the Company received approximately $2.0 million in various relief funds received from state departments due to financial distress impacts of COVID-19 ("State Relief Funds"). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received no State Relief Funds.
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $46.3 millionas compared to $43.8 millionfor the threemonths ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or 5.7%.In our consolidated community portfolio, the labor component of our operating expense increased approximately $2.5 million period-over-period.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $7.2 million as compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in labor and employee related expenses of $0.6 million, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and other expenses of $0.2 million.
Interest expense for the threemonths ended March 31, 2024 was $8.6 million as compared to $8.9 million for the threemonths ended March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $0.3 million primarily due to reduced debt balances during 2024.
Gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $38.1 million. The gain relates to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the Protective Life Loan Purchase. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $36.3 millionand related to the derecognition of notes payable and liabilities as a result of the transition of legal ownership of two communities to Fannie Mae, the holder of the related non-recourse debt.
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.5 million as compared to other income of $0.2 millionfor the threemonths ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expense is primarily related to transaction costs incurred as a result of the Ally Term Loan expansion and the Protective Life Loan Purchase.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to $24.2 million of unrestricted cash balances on hand as of March 31, 2024, our future liquidity will depend in part upon our operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity offerings, proceeds from debt refinancings or loan modifications, and proceeds from the sale of owned assets. During 2023, we entered into loan modifications with Fannie Mae, an amendment with Ally Bank, including a revised Limited Payment Guaranty, and an Equity Commitment with Conversant. During the first quarter of 2024, we completed the 2024 Private Placement pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 5,026,318 shares of our common stock to several of our shareholders for gross cash proceeds of approximately $47.8 million, which enabled us to purchase all of the Company's debt then outstanding with Protective Life at a substantial discount, as well as fund future working capital and growth initiatives. Additional financing of $24.8 million for the debt purchase was provided by Ally Bank through an expansion of the Company's existing Ally Bank term loan. On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, whereby the Company may sell, at its option, shares of its common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75,000,000. These transactions are expected to provide additional financial flexibility to us and increase our liquidity position.See "Note 6-Notes Payable," "Note 7-Securities Financing," and "Note 15-Subsequent Events" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2024, in order to comply with Ally term loan requirements, the Company expanded its SOFR-based interest rate cap for an aggregate notional amount of $24.8 million at a cost of $0.6 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a 12-month term and caps the floating interest rate portion of our indebtedness with Ally Bank at 2.25%. As of December 31, 2023, the entire balance of our outstanding variable-rate debt obligations were covered by our interest rate caps to better manage our exposure to market risks associated with the fluctuations in interest rates.
During 2023, the Company's liquidity conditions, including operating losses and net working capital deficit, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of increases in occupancy, increases in rental rates and completion of the 2024 Private Placement and Protective Life Loan Purchase, the Company has substantially
28

improved its liquidity position. In addition, net proceeds of $10.3 million was raised in April 2024 through our ATM Sales Agreement. These transactions have increased cash on hand significantly. Based on these events, the Company concluded it has adequate cash to meet its obligations as they become due for the 12-month period following the date the March 31, 2024 financial statements are issued.
The Company, from time to time, considers and evaluates financial and capital raising transactions related to its portfolio, including debt refinancings, purchases and sales of assets, equity offerings and other transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company's short- and long-term capital requirements.
Recent changes in the current economic environment, and other future changes, could result in decreases in the fair value of assets, slowing of transactions, and the tightening of liquidity and credit markets. These impacts could make securing debt or refinancings for the Company or buyers of the Company's properties more difficult or on terms not acceptable to the Company. The Company's actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including its operating results, its capital expenditures for community investment, and general economic conditions, as well as other factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
In summary, the Company's cash flows were as follows (in thousands):
Three months ended March 31,
2024 2023 $ Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ (4,105) $ 3,249 $ (7,354)
Net cash used in investing activities (5,131) (5,086) (45)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 29,149 (3,759) 32,908
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 19,913 $ (5,596) $ 25,509
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.1 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change of $7.4 million isprimarily due to the settlement of accounts payable and accrued expenses from the proceeds of the 2024 Private Placement, and to a lesser extent, timing of accounts receivable collections during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024primarily results from ongoing capital improvements and refurbishments at the Company's senior housing communities of $5.7 million, offset by $0.6 million from the proceeds from the sale of an unencumbered land parcel in January 2024. Net cash used in investing activities of $5.1 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2023is primarily the result of ongoing capital improvements and refurbishments at the Company's senior housing communities of $5.4 million,partially offset by $0.3 million from the proceeds from the sale of an unencumbered land parcel in March 2023.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $29.1 millionprimarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $47.6 million and proceeds of $24.8 million from notes payable, partially offset by repayments of notes payable of $42.0 million. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3.8 million primarily due to repayments of notes payable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon the controls evaluation, procedures evaluation and the material weakness described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective.
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan
As disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which has not been remediated as of March 31, 2024, as disclosed above.
We have developed and initiated a plan for remediation of the material weakness, including developing and maintaining appropriate management review and process level controls. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation measures in connection with our future assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and we will make any changes to the design of our plan and take such other actions that we deem appropriate given the circumstances. Based on the current remediation plan, we expect to have implemented the remediation process, including developing and maintaining appropriate management review and process level controls, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. Control weaknesses are not considered remediated until new internal controls have been operational for a period of time, are tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
