- These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could lead to actual results differing materially from those projected, forecasted or expected.
- This increase is expected to partially offset some of our tenants’ and borrowers’ higher operating costs.
- CMS estimates that SNF VBP adjustments will reduce payments to SNFs by approximately $203.6 million in fiscal year 2027, which could adversely affect the financial condition of our tenants and borrowers.
- On October 1, 2026, we acquired 23 care homes in the U.K., with one additional care home expected to close subject to regulatory approval, pursuant to a Share Purchase Deed, dated as of September 30, 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
- Upon the exercise of put and call options under the Purchase Agreement, we also intend to acquire up to 21 additional care homes currently under development, on a rolling basis through December 31, 2027, as development and regulatory approvals are completed.
- We expect to fully physically settle ATM forward contracts entered into under the ATM program by delivery of shares of common stock to the forward purchaser and receipt of cash proceeds upon one or more settlement dates, which are typically a one-year term, at our discretion, prior to the final settlement date, at which time we would expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number…

- During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $1.7 million of property operating expenses related to assets we plan to sell or repurpose, re-tenant, or have sold, partially offset by $0.4 million in recoveries.
- Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly dividends to common stockholders from cash flow from operating activities.
- We intend to invest in and/or develop additional healthcare and senior housing communities as suitable opportunities arise and so long as adequate sources of financing are available.
- We expect that future investments in and/or development of properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, borrowings available to us un der the New Revolving Facility, future borrowings, the proceeds from sales of shares of our common stock made on a direct basis or pursuant to forward…
