Explanatory Note
This annual report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2017,2021, of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (“HTA”), a Maryland corporation, and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP (“HTALP”), a Delaware limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this Annual Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “our Company” refer to HTA and HTALP, collectively, and all references to “common stock” shall refer to the Class A common stock of HTA.
HTA operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is the general partner of HTALP. As of December 31, 2017,2021, HTA owned a 98.1%98.2% partnership interest in HTALP, and other limited partners, including some of HTA’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP” Units)) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control, including its compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filing requirements.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between HTA and HTALP in the context of how we operate as an integrated consolidated company. HTA operates as an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which HTALP and its subsidiaries hold substantially all of the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by HTA, which are generally contributed to HTALP in exchange for partnership units of HTALP, HTALP generates the capital required for the business through its operations and by direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of its partnership units (“OP Units”).
NoncontrollingNon-controlling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the primary areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of HTA and HTALP. Limited partnership units in HTALP are accounted for as partners’ capital in HTALP’s consolidated balance sheets and as noncontrollinga non-controlling interest reflected within equity in HTA’s consolidated balance sheets. The differences between HTA’s stockholders’ equity and HTALP’s partners’ capital are due to the differences in the equity issued by HTA and HTALP, respectively.
We believe combining the Annual Reports of HTA and HTALP, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements, into this single Annual Report results in the following benefits:
enhances stockholders’ understanding of HTA and HTALP by enabling stockholders to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this Annual Report applies to both HTA and HTALP; and
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of a single combined Annual Report instead of two separate Annual Reports.
In order to highlight the material differences between HTA and HTALP, this Annual Report includes sections that separately present and discuss areas that are materially different between HTA and HTALP, including:
the Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in Item 5 of this Annual Report;
the Selected Financial Data in Item 6 of this Annual Report;
as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), the Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Normalized FFO in Item 7 of this Annual Report;
the Controls and Procedures in Item 9A of this Annual Report;
the consolidated financial Statementsstatements in Item 15 of this Annual Report;
certain accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Annual Report, including Note 78 - Debt, Note 1011 - Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital, Note 1213 - Per Share Data of HTA, and Note 1314 - Per Unit Data of HTALP, Note 1516 - Tax Treatment of Dividends of HTA, Note 17 - Selected Quarterly Financial Data of HTA and Note 18 - Selected Quarterly Financial Data of HTALP; and
the Statement Regarding the Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends included as Exhibit 12.1 to this Annual Report; and
the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this Annual Report.
In the sections of this Annual Report that combine disclosure for HTA and HTALP, this Annual Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although HTALP (directly or indirectly through one of its subsidiaries) is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues or incurs debt, management believes this presentation is appropriate for the reasons set forth above and because the business of the Company is a single integrated enterprise operated through HTALP.

PART I
Item 1. Business
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
HTA, a Maryland corporation, and HTALP, a Delaware limited partnership, were incorporated or formed, as applicable, on April 20, 2006.
HTA is a publicly-traded REIT and one ofis the leading ownerslargest dedicated owner and operatorsoperator of medical office buildings (“MOBs”) in the United States (“U.S.”). We focus on owning and operating MOBs that serve the future of healthcare delivery and are located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in community core outpatient locations. We also focus on key markets that have attractive demographics and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional full-service property management, leasing and development servicesoperating platform to generate strong tenant and health system relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to enhance the value of our real estate assets through our dedicated asset management and property managementleasing platform, which generates consistent revenue streams and manageable expenses. As a result of our core business strategy, we seek to generate stockholder value through consistent and growing dividends, which are attainable through sustainable cash flows.
We invest in MOBs that we believe are critical to the delivery of healthcare in a changing environment. Healthcare is one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. economy, with an expected average growth rate of nearlyapproximately 6% between 2017 and 2025.annually through 2028. Overall U.S. spending is expected to increase to 19.9%by approximately 20% of GDPgross domestic product (“GDP”) by 20252028 according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. In addition, healthcare is experiencing the fastest employment growth in the U.S., a trend that is expected to continue over the next decade. These high levels of demand are primarily driven by an aging U.S. population and the long-term impact of an increasing number of insured individuals nationwide. This increase in demand, combined with advances in less invasive medical procedures, is driving many healthcare services to lower costs and to more convenient outpatient settings that are less reliant on hospital campuses. As a result, HTA believes that well-located MOBs should provide stable cash flows with relatively low vacancy risk, resulting in consistent long-term growth.
Since inception, the Company has invested $7.0$7.8 billion primarily in MOBs, development projects, land and other healthcare real estate assets that are primarily located in 20 to 25 high quality markets that possess above average economic and socioeconomic drivers. Our portfolio consists of approximately 24.126.1 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) throughout the U.S. As of December 31, 2017,2021, approximately 70%67% of our portfolio was located on the campuses of, or adjacent to, nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems. We believe these key locations and affiliations create significant demand from healthcare related tenants for our properties. Further, our portfolio is primarily concentrated within major U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) that we believe will provide above-average economic growth and socioeconomic benefits over the coming years. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had approximately 1 million square feet of GLA in eachten of our top ten20 key markets and approximately 93%95% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in the top 75 MSAs, with Dallas, Houston, Boston, TampaAtlanta and AtlantaMiami being our largest markets by investment.
Our principal executive office is located at 16435 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 320, Scottsdale, AZ 85254, and our telephone number is (480) 998-3478. We maintain a website at www.htareit.com where additional information about us can be accessed. The contents of the siteour website are not incorporated by reference in, or otherwise a part of this filing. We make our periodic and current reports, as well as any amendments to such reports, available free of charge at www.htareit.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with the SEC.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Corporate Strategies
Invest in and Maintain a Portfolio of Properties that are Valuable for the Future of Healthcare Delivery
The Company is focused on investing in and maintaining a real estate portfolio that consists of well-located MOBs that allow for the efficient delivery of healthcare over the long-term. To date, we have invested $7.0$7.8 billion to create one of the largest portfolios (based on GLA) of healthcare real estate that is focused on the MOB sector in the U.S. We lookintend to allocate capital to properties that exhibit the following key attributes:
Located on the campuses of, or aligned with, nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems in the U.S. We seek to invest in properties that we believe have long-term value for healthcare providers, including those that benefit from their proximity to and/or affiliation with prominent healthcare systems. These healthcare systems typically possess high credit quality and are capable of investing capital into their campuses. We believe our affiliations with these health systems helps ensure long-term tenant demand. As of December 31, 2017,2021, approximately 70%67% of our portfolio was located on the campuses of, or adjacent to, nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems.
Located in core community outpatient locations. We seek to invest in properties that we believe will have long-term value for healthcare providers, including those that are located in key outpatient medical hubs that are located in communities.hubs. These properties benefit from their proximity to attractive patient populations, maintain a mix of physician practices and specialties, and are convenient for patients and physicians alike. In addition, these properties and medical hubs can be centers for healthcare away from hospital campuses while benefiting from the advancement of healthcare technology, which allow for lower cost settings, more services and procedures to be performed away from hospitals, and the growing requirement for convenient healthcare. We believe these factors ensuresupport long-term tenant demand. At December 31, 2017,2021, approximately 30%33% of our portfolio was located in core community outpatient locations.
Attractive markets where we can maximize efficiencies through our asset management and leasing platform. We seek to own MOBs in markets withthat we believe possess attractive demographics, economic growth and higherhigh barriers to entry which support growing tenant demand. We have developed a strong presence across 20 to 25 key markets since our inception, with approximately 93%95% of our total GLA located in the top 75 MSAs as of December 31, 2017.2021. In addition, we have developed scale in these key markets, reaching approximately 1 million square feet of GLA in eachten of our top ten20 key markets, and approximately 500,0000.5 million square feet of GLA in 17 of our top 1620 key markets. Our scale in markets has allowed us to create the largest, institutionally owned asset management platform in the sector, which includes leasing, property management, building maintenance, construction, and development capabilities. In each of these markets, we have established a strong asset management, leasing and development servicesfull-service operating platform that has allowed us to develop valuable relationships with health systems, physician practices, universities and regional development firmscompanies that have led to investment and leasing opportunities.opportunities for us. Our propertyasset management platform utilizes our scale to provide services to our properties at cost effective rates and with a focus on generating cost efficiencies and superior service for our tenants.
Occupied with limited near term leasing risks. We seek to invest in and maintain well-occupied properties that we believe are critical to the delivery of healthcare within that specific market. As of December 31, 2017,2021, our portfolio was 91.8%89.3% leased. We believe this creates tenant demand that supports higher occupancy and drives strong, long-term tenant retention as hospitals and physicians are generally reluctant to move or relocate, as evidenced by our Same-Property portfolio tenant retention rate of 78%74% as of the year ended December 31, 2017.
2021.
Diversified and synergistic mix of tenants. Our primary focus is placed on ensuring an appropriate and diversified mix of tenants from different practice types, as well as complimentary practices that provide synergies within both individual buildings and the broader health system campuses. We actively invest in both multi-tenant properties, which generally have shorter-term leases onin smaller spaces, and single-tenant properties, which generally have longer-term leases.leases in larger spaces. The multi-tenant buildings typically provide for lower lease rollover risks in any particular year and typically allow rents to reset to current market rates that may be higher than the in-place rental rates. We believe single-tenant buildings provide steady long-term cash flow, but generally provide for more limited long-term growth.
Credit-worthy tenants. Our primary tenants are healthcare systems, academicuniversity medical centers and leading physician groups. These groups typically have strong and stable financial performance, which we believe helps ensure stability in our long-term rental income and tenant retention. As of December 31, 2017, 61%2021, 58% of our annual base rent was derived from credit-rated tenants, primarily health systems. A significant amount of our remaining rent comes from physician groups and medical healthcare system tenants that are credit-worthy based on our internal underwriting and due diligence, but do not have the size to benefit from a formal credit rating by a nationally recognized rating agency.

These transactions allow us to focus on the quality of individual properties and to seek to ensure that they are accretive to our cost of capital.

This is a significant increase since our public listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 2012 when we managed directly approximately 8.8 million square feet, or 70%, of our GLA. We believe this direct asset management approach allows us to maximize our internal growth by improving occupancy, achieving operating efficiencies and creating long-term tenant relationships at our properties, resulting in optimized rental rates. Specific components of our overall asset management strategy include:
Maintaining regional offices in markets where we have a significant presence. HTA has 31 local offices in 24 markets, including its corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, primarily inlocated within our key markets across the U.S., including our corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Creating local relationships with local healthcare providers, including national and regional healthcare systems, physicians and other providers.
Maintaining or increasing our average rental rates, actively leasing vacant space and reducing leasing concessions. These leasing results contributed to our 2.8% or morean average of 1.8% of Same-Property Cash NOI growth each quarter during the year ended December 31, 2017.2021.
Improving the quality of service provided to our tenants by being attentive to their needs, managing expenses and strategically investing capital to remain competitive within our markets. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2021, we achieved tenant retention for the Same-Property portfolio of 78%74%.
Maintaining a portfolio of high-quality medical office buildingsMOBs that we believe are critical to the delivery of healthcare now and in the future, while enhancing our reputation as a dedicated leading MOB owner and operator.
Utilizing local and regional economies of scale to focus on operating cost efficiencies for our properties and utilizing our building service operations to generate profits for shareholdersour stockholders while providing more efficient services.
Key Market Focused Strategy and Investments
We plan to grow externally through targeted investments and developments that improve the quality of our portfolio and are accretive to our cost of capital. To achieve this growth in competitive markets we seek:
Targeted property investments, generally located within our key markets. These transactions allow us to focus on the quality of individual properties and ensure they are accretive to our cost of capital. They also allow us to exhibit meaningful growth given our current mid-market size.
Long-term relationships with key industry participants. We will continue our emphasis on long-term relationship building as we have since inception. These relationships are cultivated by our senior management team, with key industry participants, including health systems as well as local and regional developers, which have traditionally provided us with valuable investment opportunities.
Local knowledge through our internal full-service operational platform. Our local personnel participate in local industry activities that can provide insightful information with respect to potential opportunities.
Actively Maintain Conservative Capital Structure
We have and continue to actively manage our balance sheet to maintain an attractive investment grade credit rating, to maintain conservative leverage and to preserve financing flexibility, which ultimately hedges against inherent risk and provides us with attractive capital sources that allow us to take advantage of strategic external growth opportunities. In addition, we may also strategically dispose of properties that we believe no longer align with our strategic growth objectives in order to redeploy the capital generated by these dispositions into higher yielding MOBs that we believe have better longer-term growth prospects. The strength of our balance sheet is demonstrated by our investment grade credit ratings. To maintain our strong and conservative balance sheet, we:
Maintain a low leverage ratio. Our leverage ratio, measured by net debt (totalas debt less cash and cash equivalents)equivalents to total capitalization, was 29.9%27.7% as of December 31, 2017.2021.
Continue to maintainMaintain a high level of liquidity. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had approximately $1.2$1.1 billion of liquidity, primarily consisting of $991.2 million$1.0 billion available on our unsecured revolving credit facility and $100.4$52.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Utilize multiple capital sources, including public debt and equity, and unsecured bank loans and secured property level debt.loans.
Maintain well-laddered debt maturities, which extend through 20272031 with no significant exposure in any one year.
As of December 31, 2017,2021, the weighted average remaining term of our debt portfolio was 5.76.6 years.

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Healthcare Sector Growth
We operate MOBs within the ever-changing healthcare industry, which we believe are benefitingis affected by population, technology, legislation and the economy. Over the last several years, the healthcare industry has benefited from several significant macroeconomic drivers, such as an aging population, millennials beginning to form families, and an increase in the insured population. These trends are driving growth in healthcare spending at a rate significantly faster than the rate of growth in the broader U.S. economy.
Population Changes
The U.S. population is experiencing significant aging of its population, as advancements in medical technology and changes in treatment methods enable people to live longer. As the U.S. population continues to age, the share of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to represent over 20% of the population by 2030, which represents a 31% increase between 2020 and 2030. This is expected to drive healthcare utilization higher as individuals consume more healthcare as they get older. Between 2016 and 2026, the U.S. population over 65 years of age is projected to increase by more than 32% and total over 19% of the U.S. population as the baby boomer generation enters retirement. age.
hta-20211231_g1.jpg
Individuals of this age spend the highest amounts on healthcare, averaging approximately $6,000$6,700 per individual over the age of 65 according to a 20162020 Consumer Expenditure Survey. This compares to healthcare expenditures of less than $1,200approximately $1,400 per year for individuals under the age of 25.25 and under. The older population group will increasingly require treatment and management of chronic and acute health ailments. We believe much of this increased care will take place in lower cost outpatient settings, which we believe should continue to support MOB demand in the long term.

In addition, the large millennial generation is just now starting to reach their thirties and form families. During this age period, healthcare expenditures double on average. As this large generation utilizes additional healthcare services, it is expected they will do so in more convenient outpatient settings.settings, typically in MOBs.
hta-20211231_g2.jpg
The number of insured individuals in the U.S. continues to increase, as the population grows and as a result of the impact of U.S. government actions, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”). Since 1999, the number of individuals covered by healthcare insurance in the U.S. has increased over 20%. Although the current political administration has sought to unsuccessfully repeal the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion remains in place with some states seeking to expand coverage. Thus far, the removal of the individual mandate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) has seen limited noticeable impact.

Baby Boomers
The “silver tsunami” of aging baby boomers is poised to shift demographics so much so that people aged 65 and older are projected to outnumber those under 18 by 2035. This shift is likely to increase demand for healthcare services as well as investment in and development of medical office buildings. For adults 65 and over, attitudes towards healthcare access tend to be characterized by tradition, loyalty and resistance to change. This generation has shown to be least interested in virtual visits, the least likely to switch primary care physicians, and the most likely to make healthcare decisions based on hospital affiliation. Baby boomers may also make retirement choices that affect relative demand for healthcare resources, with many expected to migrate to preferred states for retirement, including Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, California and Texas.
As America’s largest generation continues to age, Medicare also becomes part of the conversation. Currently, the percentage of Medicare-eligible beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage is increasing at an all-time high. By 2025, it is predicted that Medicare Advantage enrollees will reach nearly 30 million beneficiaries (40% of all Medicare patients). Hospitals who receive payment from Medicare Advantage plans will likely invest in supplemental benefits and outpatient services in order to manage population health, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, and thus keep costs down.
Millennials
Aside from the baby boomer generation, another group whose preferences are shaping the healthcare market is the millennial generation. For these consumers, decisions are shaped by a resultdesire for easily accessible and affordable care. Millennials are not brand loyal, and instead prioritize free visits and other forms of these factors,savings over quality (assuming this is standard). They desire both after-hours access to clinics and the ability to make same-day appointments – many times also willing to consider virtual visits to receive same-day care.
hta-20211231_g3.jpg
Healthcare Spending
The healthcare sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of the U.S. economy and is growing faster than GDP. According to the latest data from 2017,2020, Americans spent nearly $3.3over $4.1 trillion, or 17.9%19.7%, of total GDP, on healthcare expenditures in 2016,2020, an increase of 4.3%8.7% over the previous year. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services project that total healthcare expenditures will reach approximately $5.6$6.0 trillion by 2025.2028. Healthcare expenditures are projected to grow an average of 5.6%5.2% annually through 20252028 and account for 19.9%19.7% of GDP by 2025.2028. This growth in healthcare expenditures reflects the increasing demand for healthcare. It is also driving demand for cost effective healthcare which generally takes place in outpatient settings such as MOBs.

Increases in healthcare spending may be driven by several factors, including changes in patient volumes, increases in per-patient spending, and general price increases. Historically, all three have factored into growing healthcare spending. However, increasing costs of new medical technology, leading to increased prices for healthcare goods and services, along with increasing Medicare enrollment, are two factors seen to play the largest role in healthcare spending projections.
hta-20211231_g4.jpg

Healthcare costs continue to be a burden to U.S. families and factor into care-seeking decisions for the majority of the population. Growth in healthcare costs has driven government legislation, consumer demand for lower-cost healthcare settings, and the increased presence of market disruptors and mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare space. From a consumer’s perspective, shifting healthcare utilization to the lower-cost outpatient setting is an approachable option that can directly impact out-of-pocket costs. The effects of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) have only exacerbated this shift, with more people avoiding the hospital setting whenever possible.

Outpatient Trends
Hospitals have traditionally been central to the delivery of healthcare, with medical office buildings serving as physician office space, and for other lower acuity purposes often relative to proximity to a hospital campus. However, volume mix is shifting toward outpatient, lower-cost sites, including those outside of hospital-controlled proprieties, due in-part to cost savings, patient preference and technological advances. Outpatient services are expected to grow by approximately 13% over the next five years.
hta-20211231_g6.jpghta-20211231_g7.jpg
Medical Office Buildings
We believe hospitals will continue their focus on high-acuity care, leaving lower-acuity care and administrative work to other locations, further segmenting the care delivery space. Going forward, outpatient facilities may be grouped to increase efficiency for patients and will also likely be spread out in retail locations that come with parking, visibility and accessibility.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers
In motion long before COVID-19 heightened regulators’ interest, the movement toward lower-cost care settings such as ambulatory surgery centers (“ASC”) will continue to be an important area of focus. Seeking care at ASCs rather than hospitals is often more convenient for patients and allows them to be discharged within the day, which can reduce infection risk and promote an at-home recovery. Beyond convenience, ASCs are less costly to both patients and payers, likely a strong driver of this shift in care-delivery setting.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift toward ASCs. An increased focus on hospital capacity meant hospitals were pushing lower-acuity procedures to the outpatient setting to retain space for emergencies and COVID-19 cases. At the same time, apprehension to set foot in the hospital has caused patients to seek outpatient care instead. There were several announcements of ASC expansion and large transactions involving ASC organizations in 2021 including acquisitions by large health systems.
This shift has resulted in Medicare updating the number of reimbursable procedures that can be performed at ASCs. Beginning in March 2022, Medicare will allow the nomination of surgical procedures to be added to the ASC covered procedures list. This regulatory landscape, combined with other market pressures and changing preferences, results in an expected annual revenue growth rate of 6.9% for ASCs. The expected growth of the ASC market is predicted to lead to future consolidation, acquisitions, and competition for providers.
ASCs are expected to grow in orthopedics, cardiovascular, pain management, urology, and other specialties. Diagnostic services are expected to continue shifting from hospitals toward outpatient sites. Due to competition, outpatient imaging and lab services can be lower-cost alternatives as compared to their equivalent hospital-based services.
12


Table of Contents

For 2021, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") added eleven new procedures to the list of ambulatory surgery center covered surgical procedures. Additionally, CMS is increasing payment rates for certain qualifying ASCs resulting in a total estimated payment increase of approximately $120 million to ASCs for 2021 compared to 2020 Medicare payments, further supporting the shift of healthcare delivery to outpatient settings. By 2021, the volume of procedures performed in ASCs is expected to increase by 35% when compared to 2015.
hta-20211231_g8.jpg
Urgent Care Centers
Another change in healthcare seeking behaviors is the sustained shift from hospital emergency room visits to urgent care centers. Much of the emphasis on this is due to a need to move non-emergent care out of the emergency room. Because of this shift, there has been an expansion of urgent care sites into underserved markets, which can also support health systems’ strategies for patient acquisition and retaining specialist referrals. Outside of underserved markets, on-demand or urgent care sites are considered beneficial as they may act as referral points, converting single visits to longstanding relationships.
Telehealth
Telehealth has become an increasingly popular means by which patients seek medical care. COVID-19 only exacerbated pre-existing trends, with percentage of provider visits increasing from 0.3% in 2019 to 23.6% in 2020. Since its peak in April 2020, the utilization of telehealth has since stabilized. Additionally, based on consumer research done by McKinsey, consumers view telehealth as an important modality for their care needs, with views varying widely depending on the type of care, with primary care and other types of specialty visits continuing to be performed in a clinical setting.

hta-20211231_g10.jpg
Because consumers were using telehealth services during the pandemic more than ever before, the number of investments in telehealth increased substantially. Health insurance companies, pharmacy chains, tech giants, and even genetic testing companies invested in various telehealth providers, each to gain a sliver of the telehealth pie. Trends in telehealth investment included telehealth for specific, targeted care needs, and telehealth used as one part of a broader toolkit, rather than the end goal of patient care.
Healthcare Employment
Employment in the healthcare industry has steadily increased for at least 20 years despite three recessions.recessions during that period. Healthcare-related jobs are among the fastest growing occupations, projected to increase by 18%more than 16% between 20162020 and 2026, significantly higher than2030, double the general U.S. employment growth projection of 7%8%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects ten out of the top twenty occupations with the highest growth for workers will be in the healthcare sector. We expect the increased growth in the healthcare industry will correspond with a growth in demand for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry.
hta-20211231_g11.jpg

Table of Contents

Although employment in the healthcare sector is projected to grow, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on healthcare staffing, with exhaustion, burnout, stress and anxiety commonly reported among healthcare workers. Labor is the greatest expense category for healthcare organizations, and labor disruptions such as those exacerbated by the pandemic can be time consuming and costly to address. While employment in many healthcare settings has gradually increased back to pre-pandemic levels, not all jobs are returning at the same pace. Outpatient settings have seen employment gains that have more-than made up for pandemic job losses, however hospital, nursing home, and residential care employment remains below pre-pandemic levels, particularly in nursing and residential care facilities. As we continue into 2022, healthcare employment and hiring will continue to be impacted by the same shifts we are seeing across the workforce – workers are choosing positions that match their desired work environment, schedule, location, and intensity.
hta-20211231_g12.jpg
COVID-19 Impacts
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on the healthcare industry, upending long-held beliefs on consumer preferences and the regulatory environment. While it is unclear whether pandemic-era changes will remain permanent, the shifting care setting, demographic shifts, and medical staffing challenges are important matters to consider with respect to the healthcare industry as a whole.
COVID-19 had a significant influence on how, when and where patients seek care. As telehealth utilization rose among many, others elected to defer preventative or other non-COVID-19 related clinical care. As the demand for healthcare begins to equalize with an eventual, more permanent shift back to non-COVID-19 related care, we expect there to be a longer-term increase in utilization.

Medical Office Building Supply and Demand
We believe that healthcare real estate, specifically MOBs and its rents and valuations are less susceptible to changes in the general economy than generaltraditional commercial real estate due to macroeconomic trendssecular drivers supporting the healthcare sector and the defensive nature of healthcare expenditures during economic downturns. For this reason, we believe MOB investments provide more consistent rental revenue streams, higher occupancies and tenant retention that could potentially translate into a more stable return to investors compared to other types of real estate investments which may be more susceptible to higher vacancies and unreliable rental revenue streams.investments. We also believe that demand for MOBs will increase due to a number of MOB specific factors, including:
The MOB sector is highly fragmented with approximately 30%13% of the MOBs owned by public REITs and private equity firms.REIT investors. There is vast room for growth for both public and private firmssignificant opportunity to expand within the industry given the lack of institutional ownership compared to other real estate sectors.

Evolution in the healthcare industry resulting in more efficient and less invasive procedures that have traditionally been performed in hospitals, such as surgery, that have moved to outpatient facilities as a result of shifting consumer preferences, limited space in hospitals and lower costs.
An increase in medical office visits due to the overall rise in healthcare utilization, which in turn has driven hiring within the healthcare sector. Additionally, the rate of employment growth in physicians’ offices and outpatient care facilities has outpaced employment growth in hospitals during the past decade, further supporting the trend of increased utilization of healthcare services outside of the hospital. This trend is forecast to continue, with the number of healthcare providers, particularly nurses, physicians, and technical specialists, growing significantly faster than the U.S. average.average for the other occupations.

High credit quality of physician tenants. In recent years, MOB tenants have increasingly consisted of larger hospital and physician groups. These groups utilize their size and expertise to obtain high rates of reimbursement and share overhead operating expenses which creates significant rent coverage, or an ability to pay rent. We believe these larger groups are generally credit-worthy and provide stability and long-term value for MOBs.
Consistent and reliable occupancy has insulated the medical office sector from volatility that can be disruptive to other industries. Even through the early months of COVID-19, when non-emergency outpatient services were temporarily suspended, occupancy remained strong. According to data from Revista, quarterly weighted average occupancy rates have averaged 91.6% from 2019 to 2021. Additionally, during 2020, owners of medical office space collected more than 95% of rent due, according to data collected by Revista.

COMPETITION
We compete with many other real estate investment entities, including financial institutions, pension funds, real estate developers, other REITs, other public and private real estate companies, and private real estate investors for the acquisition of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry. During the acquisition process, we compete with others who may have a competitive advantage over us at this time in terms of size, capitalization, local knowledge of the marketplace and extended contacts throughout the region. Any combination of these factors may result in an increased purchase price for properties or other real estate related assets of interest to us, which may reduce the number of opportunities available to us that meet our investment criteria. If the number of opportunities that meet our investment criteria are limited, our ability to increase stockholder value may be adversely impacted.
We face competition in leasing available MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry to prospective tenants. As a result, we may have to provide rent concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements, offer other inducements, or we may be unable to timely lease vacant space in our properties, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. At the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchase opportunities.
We believe our focus on MOBs, our experience and expertise, and our ongoing relationships with healthcare providers provide us with a competitive advantage. We have established an asset identification and acquisition network with healthcare providers and local developers which provides for the early identification of and access to acquisition opportunities. In addition, we believe this broad network allows us to effectively lease available space, retain our tenants, and maintain and improve our assets.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Healthcare-Related Regulations

Overview.  The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our tenants generally are subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, fraud and abuse, relationships with physicians and other referral sources, and reimbursement. Changes in these laws and regulations could negatively affect the ability of our tenants to satisfy their contractual obligations, including making lease payments to us.
Healthcare Legislation.  In March 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law.Reform. The Affordable Care Act, along with othercurrent wave of healthcare reform efforts, has resultedlaunched with the ACA in comprehensive healthcare reform in the U.S. through a phased approach, which began in 2010 and will conclude in 2018.2010. The laws are intended to reduce the number of individuals in the U.S. withoutACA expanded health insurance coverage through tax subsidies and significantly changefederal health insurance programs, individual and employer mandates for health insurance coverage, and the means by which healthcare is organized, deliveredcreation of health insurance exchanges (federal and reimbursed. state marketplaces).
The Affordable Care Act expanded reporting requirementsBiden administration has indicated that it will maintain and responsibilitiesbuild upon the ACA and has suggested proposals that would include the adoption of a national public health insurance option (“Medicare for all”), increasing the value of current tax credits related to facility ownershipinsurance premiums, and management, patient safety, quality of care, and certain financial transactions, including payments by the pharmaceutical and medical industryexpanding coverage to doctors and teaching hospitals. In the ordinary course of their businesses, our tenants may be regularly subjected to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies that oversee these laws and regulations. If they do not comply with the additional reporting requirements and responsibilities, our tenants’ ability to participate in federal healthcare programs may be adversely affected. Moreover, there may be other aspects of the comprehensive healthcare reform legislation for which regulations have not yet been adopted, which, depending on how they are implemented, could adversely affect our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations to us.low-income individuals.
The Affordable Care Act has faced numerous judicial, legislative and executive challenges. Although there continue to be judicial challenges to the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court has thus far upheld the Affordable Care Act, including, most recently, in their June 25, 2015 ruling on King v. Burwell. However, President Trump and Congressional, Republicans promised they would seek the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. On January 20, 2017, newly-sworn-in President Trump issued an executive order aimed at seeking the prompt repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and directed the heads of all executive departments and agencies to minimize the economic and regulatory burdens of the Affordable Care Act to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, there have been and continue to be numerous Congressional attempts to amend and repeal the Affordable Care Act. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the TCJA, which amends certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act including the elimination of the individual insurance mandate. We cannot predict whether any future attempts to amend or repeal the Affordable Care Act will be successful. The future of the Affordable Care Act is uncertain and any changes to existing laws and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act’s repeal, modification or replacement, could have a long-term financial impact on the delivery of and payment for healthcare. Both our tenants and us may be adversely affected by the law or its repeal, modification or replacement.
Reimbursement Programs.  Sources of revenue for our tenants may include the federal Medicare program, Tricare,TRICARE, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider arrangements and self-insured employers, among others. Medicare, TricareTRICARE and Medicaid programs, as well as numerous private insurance and managed care plans, generally require participating providers to accept government-determined reimbursement levels as payment in full for services rendered, without regard to facility charges. Changes in the reimbursement rate or methods of payment from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could result in a substantial reduction in our tenants’ revenues.
In previous years, Medicare’s physician fee-for-service reimbursements were subject to a significant, automatic reduction in rates. Congress repeatedly enacted temporary legislation postponing the implementation of these physician rate cuts. In April 2015, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, enacted rules that establishes physician reimbursement rates that allow for steady increases in rates over the near future.
Despite this “doc-fix” legislation, we cannot predict whether future Congressional proposals will seek to reduce physician reimbursements. Efforts by other such payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue, which may result in reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants. Further, revenue realizable under third-party payor agreements can change after examination and retroactive adjustment by payors during the claims settlement processes or as a result of post-payment audits. Payors may disallow requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain costs are not reimbursable or reasonable, because additional documentation is necessary or because certain services were not covered or were not medically necessary.

16



Amendments to or repeal of the Affordable Care ActACA and regulatory changes could impose further limitations on government and private payments to healthcare providers. The Affordable Care ActACA expanded Medicaid coverage to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level. While the federal government agreed to pay the Medicaid expansion costs for newly eligible beneficiaries from 2014 through 2016, the federal government’s portion began declining in 2017. Further, the U.S. Supreme Court held in 2012 that states could not be required to expand their Medicaid programs, which has resulted in some states deciding not to expand their Medicaid programs. More recently, the Trump administration has enacted, or is considering enacting, measures designed to reduce Medicaid expenditures. In some other cases, states have enacted or are considering enacting measures designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures and to make changes to private healthcare insurance. Efforts to reduce costs will likely continue, which may result in reduced or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by our tenants. In addition, the failure of any of our tenants to comply with various laws and regulations could jeopardize their ability to continue participating in Medicare, Tricare,TRICARE, Medicaid and other government sponsored payment programs. The financial impact on our tenants’ failure to comply with such laws and regulations could restrict their ability to make rent payments to us.
Various laws and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) initiatives and rules aremay also reducingreduce or changingchange medical provider compensation and reimbursement. Recent changes include, among others:
Section 603 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, which eliminates certain facility fee reimbursements for outpatient centers that are located further than 250 yards from the main hospital campus. Existing health system facilities will continue to receive these facility fee reimbursements, but new facilities will not, resulting in minimal impact to our existing tenants’ operations.
Alternative payment models and payment reforms that compensate medical providers by quality of care and other criteria over quantity of care. The Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network is a network which is seeking to implement these reforms and CMS has various rules, such as the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System and Alternative Payment Models, which are changing how it compensates medical providers.
Proposed and finalized CMS rules which impact payments for specific types of services such as the “Lower Extremity Joint Replacement” and adjust reimbursement rates for specific types of healthcare facilities.
These new laws, initiatives and CMS rules reflect an ongoing effort to reduce healthcare costs and reimburse medical providers based on criteria other than fee-for-service. Although their impact is difficult to predict, these laws, initiatives and CMS rules may adversely impact medical providers’ reimbursement and our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us.
Fraud and Abuse Laws.  There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from, or are in a position to make referrals in connection with, government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Additionally, the Affordable Care ActACA includes program integrity provisions that both create new authorities and expand existing authorities for federal and state governments
19


to address fraud, waste and abuse in federal healthcare programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws. These laws include, among others:
the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the referral or recommendation for the ordering of any item or service reimbursed by a federal healthcare program, including Medicare or Medicaid;
the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition, commonly referred to as the “Stark Law,” which: (1) requires hospital landlords of facilities with financial relationships to charge a fair market value rent that does not take into account the volume or value of referrals and subject to specific exceptions; and (2) restricts physicians from making referrals for specifically designated health services for which payment may be made under Medicare and Medicaid programs to an entity with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship;
the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including claims paid by the Medicare and Medicaid programs;
the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts and regulatory violations and to exclude violators from participating in federal healthcare programs; 
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which protects the privacy and security of personal health information; and
State laws which prohibit kickbacks, self-referrals and false claims, and are generally applicable to commercial and state payors.

17



In the ordinary course of their business, our tenants may be subject to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies that oversee applicable laws and regulations. Private enforcement of healthcare fraud has also increased, due in large part to amendments to the civil False Claims Act that were designed to encourage private individuals to sue on behalf of the government. These whistleblower suits, known as qui tam suits, may be filed by almost anyone, including present and former employees or patients. In addition to the False Claims Act, there may be civil litigation between private parties which seek damages for violations of federal and state laws. These types of actions may result in monetary penalties, punitive sanctions, damage assessments, imprisonment, increased governmental oversight, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Investigation by a federal or state governmental body for violation of fraud and abuse laws, imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants, and civil litigation could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments to us.
Healthcare Licensure and Certification.  Some of our medical properties and our tenants may require a license, multiple licenses, a certificate of need (“CON”), or other certification to operate. Failure to obtain a license, CON, other certification, or loss of a required license, CON, or some other certification would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the tenant. This event could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us. State and local laws also may regulate physical plant expansion, including the addition of new beds or services or acquisition of medical equipment and the construction of healthcare-related facilities, by requiring a CON or other similar approval. State CON laws are not uniform throughout the U.S. and are subject to change. We cannot predict the impact of state CON laws on our facilities or the operations of our tenants.
Real Estate Ownership-Related Regulations
Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently. For example:
Costs of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”), all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with present requirements of the ADA, none of our properties have been audited and we have only conducted investigations of a fewlimited number of our properties to determine compliance. We may incur additional costs in connection with compliance with the ADA. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. We may incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other legislation.
20


Costs of Government Environmental Regulation and Private Litigation.  Environmental laws and regulations hold us liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances which may be on our properties. These laws could impose liability on us without regard to whether we are responsible forcaused the presence or release of the hazardous materials. Government investigations and remediation actions may cause substantial costs and the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. Various laws also impose liability on persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and such persons oftentimes must incur the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. As the owner and operator of our properties, we may be deemed to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.
Use of Hazardous Substances by Some of Our Tenants.  Some of our tenants routinely handle hazardous substances and wastes on our properties as part of their routine operations. Environmental laws and regulations subject these tenants, and potentially us, to liability resulting from such activities. Our leases require our tenants to comply with these environmental laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any related liabilities. We are unaware of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of our properties.
Other Federal, State and Local Regulations.  Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various requirements, we may incur governmental fines or private damage awards. While we believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with all of these regulatory requirements, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.expenditures. We believe, based in part on engineering reports which are generally obtained by us at the time we acquire the properties, that all of our properties comply in all material respects with current regulations. However, if we were required to make significant expenditures under applicable regulations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.

EMPLOYEESHUMAN CAPITAL
As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had approximately 270357 employees, of which less than 1% are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Our commitment to our employees continues to be a high priority for us. In addition to base salary, our annual compensation and benefit plans includes short-term incentive bonuses, long-term incentive stock plans, a 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings accounts, paid time off, tuition assistance, employee assistance programs, among other benefits. We are committed to the health, safety and well-being of all of our employees. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken additional precautionary measures to adjust our business operations and to address the needs of our employees. In addition to our ongoing sponsorship of various health and wellness initiatives to aid in the overall well-being of our employees, we have provided hazard pay, deployed comprehensive personal protective equipment, and have implemented many new protocols both in our tenant buildings and regional office locations based on the Center for Disease Control and other government mandated or recommended guidelines.
We support employee development through numerous company-sponsored training programs and professional development opportunities. Our employees regularly participate in various industry-specific training programs and conferences, and are encouraged to seek out relevant certifications or accreditations that provide additional expertise in real estate and other relevant sector-specific subjects. In addition, we provide internal cross-functional training opportunities in order that our employees may familiarize themselves with multiple aspects of our business.
TAX MATTERS
We filed an election with our 2007 federal income tax return to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We believe we have satisfied the requirements to qualify as a REIT for all tax years starting in 2007 and we intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, we are generally not subject to federal and certain state income tax on net income that we currently distribute to stockholders. We expect to continue to make distributions sufficient to avoid income tax.
While we believe that we are organized and qualified as a REIT and we intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this regard. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet, through our annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership and the various qualification tests imposed under the Code. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, corporate level income tax would apply to our taxable income at the current corporate tax rates. As a result, the amount available for distributions to stockholders would be reduced and we would no longer be required to make distributions. Failure to qualify as a REIT could also adversely affect our ability to make investments and raise capital.
21


Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there are limited judicial and administrative interpretations and involves the determination of a variety of factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
Federal Income Tax Changes and Updates for Incorporation in Existing Registration Statements
The following discussion supplements and updates the disclosures under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the prospectus dated February 27, 2015 contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015 (the “Prospectus”), and in our other registration statements into which this Annual Report is incorporated by reference.
Taxation of Our Company
As discussed in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Our Company” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Investments in TRSs,” even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in certain circumstances. Among those circumstances, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the amounts of any rents from real property, deductions, or excess interest received from a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) that would be reduced under the Code, in order to clearly reflect the income of the TRS or to the extent that such interest payments are in excess of a rate that is commercially reasonable. Pursuant to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, which was signed into law on December 18, 2015 (the “Act”) and effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, we will also be subject to a 100% tax on certain income (net of certain deductions) imputed to a TRS, as a result of redetermining or reallocating income among related or commonly controlled entities.
Qualification as a REIT
Income Tests
Gain from the Sale of Real Estate Assets. As discussed in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Qualification as a REIT - Income Tests,” we must satisfy two gross income requirements annually to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test described therein generally includes the items identified in the second bullet point under “Income Tests”; however, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, gain from the sale of “real estate assets” also includes gain from the sale of a debt instrument issued by a “publicly offered REIT” (i.e., a REIT that is required to file annual and periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act) even if not secured by real property or an interest in real property. However, for purposes of the 75% income test, gain from the sale of a debt instrument issued by a publicly offered REIT would not be treated as qualifying income to the extent such debt instrument would not be a real estate asset but for the inclusion of debt instruments of publicly offered REITs in the meaning of real estate assets effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, as described below under “Asset Tests - Qualifying Assets.”

19



Investments in Certain Debt Instruments. As discussed in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Investments in Certain Debt Instruments,” interest income generally constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% gross income test to the extent that the obligation upon which such interest is paid is secured by a mortgage on real property or an interest in real property. Except as provided in the following sentence, if we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we committed to acquire the loan, or agreed to modify the loan in a manner that is treated as an acquisition of a new loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the interest income will be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income requirement only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, in the case of mortgage loans secured by both real and personal property, if the fair market value of such personal property does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all property securing the loan, then the personal property securing the loan will be treated as real property for purposes of determining whether the mortgage is qualifying under the 75% asset requirement and the interest income from such loan qualifies for purposes of the 75% gross income requirement.
Hedging Transactions. The discussion in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Qualification as a REIT - Income Tests - Hedging transactions” is replaced in its entirety with the following:
We may enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of our assets or liabilities. Hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including interest rate swaps or cap agreements, options, futures contracts, forward rate agreements or similar financial instruments. Except to the extent as may be provided by future Treasury Regulations, any income from a hedging transaction which is clearly identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into, including gain from the disposition or termination of such a transaction, will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% and 75% gross income tests, provided that the hedging transaction is entered into (i) in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of interest rate or price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by us to acquire or carry real estate assets or (ii) primarily to manage the risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the 75% or 95% income tests (or any property which generates such income or gain).
Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, if we have entered into a qualifying hedge described above with respect to certain indebtedness or property, or the Original Hedge, and a portion of the hedged indebtedness is extinguished or property hedged is disposed of and in connection with such extinguishment or disposition we enter into one or more clearly identified hedging transactions that would, in general, hedge the Original Hedge, or the Counteracting Hedge, income from the applicable Original Hedge and income from the Counteracting Hedge (including gain from the disposition of the Original Hedge or the Counteracting Hedge) will not be treated as gross income for purposes of the 95% and 75% gross income tests to the extent that the Counteracting Hedge hedges the Original Hedge.
To the extent we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests. We intend to structure and monitor our hedging transactions so that such transactions do not jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.
Asset Tests
Qualifying Assets. As discussed in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Qualification as a REIT - Asset Tests,” to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we also must satisfy several asset tests at the end of each quarter of each taxable year. Under the first test described in the Prospectus, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must consist of the qualifying assets described in the Prospectus. In addition to those items described in the Prospectus, pursuant to the Act, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test includes: (i) personal property leased in connection with real property to the extent that rents attributable to such personal property are treated as “rents from real property” for purposes of the 75% gross income test and (ii) debt instruments issued by “publicly offered REITs.” However, the Act further provides an additional test, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, under which not more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be represented by debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs to the extent those debt instruments would not be real estate assets but for the inclusion of debt instruments of publicly offered REITs in the meaning of real estate assets effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, as described above.
Securities of TRSs. In addition, the fourth test described in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Qualification as a REIT - Asset Tests,” that securities of TRSs cannot represent more than 25% of our total assets, has been modified by the Act such that, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, securities of TRSs cannot represent more than 20% of our total assets.

20



Annual Distribution Requirements
Elective Cash/Stock Dividends. On August 11, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Procedure 2017-45 authorizing elective cash/stock dividends to be made by publicly offered REITs (i.e., REITs that are required to file annual and periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2017-45, effective for distributions declared on or after August 11, 2017, the IRS will treat the distribution of stock pursuant to an elective cash/stock dividend as a distribution of property under Section 301 of the Code (i.e., a dividend), as long as at least 20% of the total dividend is available in cash and certain other parameters detailed in the Revenue Procedure are satisfied.
Preferential Dividends. The Prospectus discusses our distribution requirements under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Qualification as a REIT - Annual Distribution Requirements.” The prohibition against “preferential dividends” described in that section is applicable for distributions in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2014. For all subsequent taxable years, so long as we continue to be a “publicly offered REIT,” the preferential dividend rule will not apply.
Interest Expense Deductions
The TCJA, signed into law in December 2017 generally imposes certain limitations on the ability of taxpayers top deduct net business interest expenses for federal income tax purposes beginning on or after January 1, 2018. However, the TCJA provides an election whereby certain taxpayers engaged in a real estate trade or business, generally including for this purpose a REIT, may elect for this limitation not to apply. However, taxpayers that make this election generally are not eligible for certain depreciation methodologies. We may make this election for applicable tax years, in which case the above limitations on interest expense deductions generally would not apply to us.
In addition, the above described limitations on net business interest expense deductions generally would be determined at the entity-level. As a result, the ability of our TRSs to deduct business interest expense for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 may be subject to limitations under the TCJA even if we make such an election.
Net Operating Losses
The TCJA also generally restricts the ability of taxpayers to utilize net operating losses to no more than 80% their taxable income and precludes them from carry-back net operating losses to prior tax years for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Taxation of U.S. Stockholders
Distributions. The Prospectus discusses the taxation of U.S. stockholders on distributions with respect to “qualified dividend income” and “capital gain dividends” under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of U.S. Stockholders - Distributions.” In addition to the discussion contained therein, effective for distributions in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, the aggregate amount of dividends that we may designate as “capital gain dividends” or “qualified dividend income” with respect to any taxable year may not exceed the dividends paid by us with respect to such year, including dividends that are paid in the following year that are treated as paid with respect to such year.
Furthermore, pursuant to the TCJA, dividends received from REITs that are treated as “qualified REIT dividends” received by certain individuals, trusts and estates generally qualify for a 20% deduction, subject to certain limitations, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026. For this purpose, a “qualified REIT dividend” generally includes any dividend from a REIT received during a taxable year that is not (i) a “capital gain dividend” or (ii) “qualified dividend income.”
Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders
Distributions
FIRPTA Ownership Exemptions. The Prospectus discusses the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) exemption with respect to non-U.S. stockholders that own no more than 5% of our Class A common stock during the specified period on distributions attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of “United States real property interests” under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders - Distributions.” This FIRPTA exemption limit on distributions on publicly-traded REIT stock has been increased from ownership of more than 5% of such stock to ownership of more than 10% of such stock for distributions on or after December 18, 2015. In addition, the Prospectus notes that we may be required to withhold 10% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits. This 10% withholding requirement was increased to 15% under the Act for distributions after February 16, 2016. Consequently, although we intend to withhold at a rate of 30% on the entire amount of any relevant distribution, to the extent we do not do so, we may withhold at a rate of 15% on any portion of a distribution not subject to withholding at a rate of 30%.

21



FIRPTA Withholding. The Prospectus discusses that we generally must withhold 35% of any distributions attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of “United States real property interests” described in the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders - Distributions” (defined as “35% FIRPTA Withholding”). Pursuant to the TCJA, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, this rate is 21% and references to “35% FIRPTA Withholding” should be replaced for such periods with “21% FIRPTA Withholding.” Moreover, the Prospectus notes that it is not entirely clear to what extent we are required to withhold on distributions to non-U.S. stockholders that are not treated as ordinary income and are not attributable to the disposition of the United States real property interest. The Prospectus further notes that unless the law is clarified to the contrary, we will generally withhold and remit to the IRS 35% of any distribution to a non-U.S. stockholder that is designated as a capital gain dividend (or, if greater, 35% of a distribution that could have been designated as a capital gain dividend). Pursuant to the TCJA, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, references to 35% are replaced with 21%.
Distributions to Qualified Shareholders. In addition, the discussion in the Prospectus is further supplemented by inserting the paragraphs below at the end of the subsection with the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders - Distributions.”
Distributions to Qualified Shareholders. Subject to the exception discussed below, for purposes of any distribution on or after December 18, 2015 to a “qualified shareholder” who holds REIT stock directly (or indirectly through one or more partnerships), such REIT stock will not be treated as a “United States real property interest” and, thus, such distribution should not be subject to special rules under FIRPTA. However, a “qualified shareholder” with one or more “applicable investors” (i.e., persons other than “qualified shareholders” who hold interests in the “qualified shareholder” (other than interests solely as a creditor), and hold (or are deemed to hold under attribution rules) more than 10% of the stock of such REIT (whether or not by reason of the investor’s ownership in the “qualified shareholder”)), as well as such applicable investors, may be subject to FIRPTA rules.
A “qualified shareholder” is a foreign person that (i) either is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which includes an exchange of information program and whose principal class of interests is listed and regularly traded on one or more recognized stock exchanges (as defined in such comprehensive income tax treaty), or is a foreign partnership that is created or organized under foreign law as a limited partnership in a jurisdiction that has an agreement for the exchange of information with respect to taxes with the United States and has a class of limited partnership units that is regularly traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ markets representing greater than 50% of the value of all the partnership units, (ii) is a qualified collective investment vehicle (defined below), and (iii) maintains records on the identity of each person who, at any time during the foreign person’s taxable year, is the direct owner of 5% or more of the class of interests or units (as applicable) described in (i), above.
A qualified collective investment vehicle is a foreign person that (i) would be eligible for a reduced rate of withholding with respect to ordinary dividends paid by a REIT under the comprehensive income tax treaty described above, even if such entity holds more than 10% of the stock of such REIT, (ii) is publicly traded, is treated as a partnership under the Code, is a withholding foreign partnership, and would be treated as a “United States real property holding corporation” during a specified period if it were a domestic corporation, or (iii) is designated as such by the Secretary of the Treasury and is either (a) fiscally transparent within the meaning of Section 894 of the Code, or (b) required to include dividends in its gross income, but is entitled to a deduction for distributions to its investors.
Qualified Foreign Pension Funds. With respect to any distribution after December 18, 2015 to a “qualified foreign pension fund” or an entity all of the interests of which are held by a “qualified foreign pension fund” who holds REIT stock directly (or indirectly through one or more partnerships), such distribution will not be subject to special rules under FIRPTA.
A qualified foreign pension fund is any trust, corporation, or other organization or arrangement (i) which is created or organized under the law of a country other than the U.S., (ii) which is established to provide retirement or pension benefits to participants or beneficiaries that are current or former employees (or persons designated by such employees) of one or more employers in consideration for services rendered, (iii) which does not have a single participant or beneficiary with a right to more than 5% of its assets or income, (iv) which is subject to government regulation and provides annual information reporting about its beneficiaries to the relevant tax authorities in the country in which it is established or operates, and (v) with respect to which, under the laws of the country in which it is established or operates, (A) contributions to such trust, corporation, organization or arrangement that would otherwise be subject to tax under such laws are deductible or excluded from the gross income of such entity or taxed at a reduced rate, or (B) taxation of any investment income of such trust, corporation, organization or arrangement is deferred or such income is taxed at a reduced rate.
The provisions of the Act relating to qualified shareholders, applicable investors, and qualified foreign pension funds are complex. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the impact of the Act on them.

22



Dispositions
In addition, the discussion in the Prospectus is further supplemented by inserting the paragraphs below at the end of the subsection with the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders - Dispositions.”
Qualified Shareholders and Qualified Pension Funds. After December 18, 2015, a sale of our Class A common stock by:
a “qualified shareholder” without one or more applicable investors or
a “qualified pension fund”
who holds such Class A common stock directly (or indirectly through one or more partnerships) will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under FIRPTA. A “qualified shareholder” with one or more applicable investors may be subject to such rules.
The provisions of the Act relating to qualified shareholders, applicable investors and qualified foreign pension funds are complex. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the impact of the Act on them.
FATCA Withholding
The discussion in the Prospectus under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - FATCA Withholding” is replaced in its entirety with the following:
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on U.S. source dividends and, beginning January 1, 2019, gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock or property that is capable of producing U.S. source dividends paid to (i) a foreign financial institution (as defined in Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code) unless such foreign financial institution agrees, pursuant to an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department or otherwise, to collect and disclose certain information regarding its direct and indirect U.S. owners (which, for this purpose, can include certain debt and equity holders of such foreign financial institution as well as the direct and indirect owners of financial accounts maintained by such institution) and satisfies certain other requirements, and (ii) certain other non-U.S. entities unless such entities provide the payor with information regarding certain direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, or certify that they have no such U.S. owners, and comply with certain other requirements. Withholding under FATCA is imposed on payments to foreign financial institutions and other applicable payees whether they receive such payments in the capacity of an intermediary or for their own account. Certain countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the United States to facilitate the type of information reporting required under FATCA. While the existence of such agreements will not eliminate the risk that payments in respect of our Class A common stock will be subject to the withholding described above, these agreements are expected to reduce the risk of the withholding for investors in (or indirectly holding our Class A common stock through financial institutions in) those countries. Each non-U.S. stockholder and any U.S. stockholder holding our Class A common stock through a foreign financial institution is urged to consult its tax advisor about the possible impact of these rules on their investment in our Class A common stock, and the entities through which they hold our Class A common stock, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements to prevent the imposition of this 30% withholding of tax under FATCA.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
As discussed above, the TCJA was enacted on December 22, 2017. The TCJA made a number of fundamental changes to the U.S. federal income taxation of individuals, corporations and estates. Moreover, the rules relating to REITS are constantly under review by the IRS and the U.S Treasury Department, which may result in new or significant changes to existing Treasury Regulations, statutes or interpretations thereof.
In addition to the statutory changes enacted by the TCJA referenced above, the TCJA generally reduced the U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to corporations from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, the relative competitive advantage a REIT may enjoy to the extent the REIT is not typically subject to corporate income tax may be diminished. On the other hand, as described above, the TCJA generally reduced the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary REIT dividends received by non-corporate taxpayers from 39.6% to 37% and generally permits non-corporate taxpayers to deduct 20% of qualified REIT dividends. As further described above, the tax law changes enacted by the TCJA could significantly impact both business and financial results, as well as the tax consequences of an investment in our common stock.
Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of the TCJA and any other potential changes to United States federal tax law on an investment in our common stock.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
The information regarding our executive officers included in Part III, Item 10 of this Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk Factor Summary
The following summarizes the principal factors that make an investment in our Company speculative or risky, all of which are more fully described in the Risk Factors section below. This summary should be read in conjunction with the Risk Factors section below and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive summary of the material risks facing our business. The order of presentation is not necessarily indicative of the level of risk that each factor poses to us.

Risks Related to Our Business
We are dependentOur business model and the operations of our business involve risks, including those related to:
our dependency on investments and the performance of those investments primarily in the healthcare property sector, making our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in that specific sector than ifsector;
the competition we were investing in multiple industries.
We concentrate ourface for investments in the healthcare property sector. As a result, we are subject to risks inherent to investments in a single industry. A downturn or slowdown in the healthcare property sector would have a greater adverse impact on our business than if we had investments in multiple industries. Specifically, a downturn in the healthcare property sector could negatively impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments to us as well as our ability to maintain rental and occupancy rates, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Our ability to make future acquisitions may be impeded, or the cost of these acquisitions may be increased, due to a variety of factors, including competition for the acquisition of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry.facilities;
At any given time, we may be pursuing property acquisitions or have properties subject to letters of intent, but we cannot assure you that we will acquire any such properties because the letters of intent are non-binding and potential transaction opportunities are subject to a variety of factors, including: (i) the willingness of the current property owner to proceed with a potential transaction with us; (ii) our completion of due diligence that is satisfactory to us and our receipt of internal approvals; (iii) the negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable binding purchase agreements; and (iv) the satisfaction of closing conditions, including our receipt of third-party consents and approvals. We also compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for the acquisition of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, including national, regional and local operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare properties. The competition for the acquisition of healthcare properties may significantly increase the prices we must pay for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry or other real estate related assets we seek to acquire. This competition may also effectively limit the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or the number of properties that we are able to acquire, and may increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell to us, making it more difficult for us to acquire new properties on attractive terms. The potential sellers of our acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive purchasers because they may have greater resources, may be willing to pay more to acquire the properties or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger healthcare REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages over us that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. Moreover, our competitors generally may be able to accept more risk with respect to their acquisitions than we can prudently manage or are willing to accept. In addition, the number of our competitors and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase, which could result in increased demand for these properties and, therefore, increased prices to acquire them. Because of an increased interest in single-property acquisitions among tax-motivated individual purchasers, we may pay higher prices for the purchase of single properties in comparison with the purchase of multi-property portfolios. If we pay higher prices for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, or otherwise incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of potential acquisitions, including potential transactions that we are subsequently unable or elect not to complete, our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

24



We may not be able to maintain or expand our relationships with hospitals, healthcare system and developers, which may impede our ability to identify and complete acquisitions directly from hospitals, healthcarecertain tenants, health systems and developers, and may otherwise adversely affect our growth, business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.hospitals;
The success of our business depends to a large extent on our past, current and future relationships with hospitals, healthcare systems and developers, including our ability to acquire properties directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers. We invest a significant amount of time to develop and maintain these relationships, and these relationships have helped us secure acquisition opportunities. Facilities that are acquired directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers are typically more attractive to us as a purchaser because of the absence of a formal competitive marketing process, which could lead to higher prices. If any of our relationships with hospitals, healthcare systems and developers deteriorates, or if a conflict of interest or a non-compete arrangement prevents us from expanding these relationships, our professional reputation within the industry could be damaged and we may not be able to secure attractive acquisition opportunities directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to locate and acquire facilities at attractive prices.
Our results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and our ability to dispose of our investments are subject to general economic conditions affecting theof commercial real estate and the credit markets.markets;
Our business is sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as the commercial real estate and credit markets. For example, a financial disruption or credit crisis could negatively impact the value of commercial real estate assets, contributing to a general slowdown in our industry. A slow economic recovery could cause a reduction in the overall volume of transactions, number of sales and leasing activities of the type that we previously experienced. We are unable to predict future changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions.
Adverse economic conditions in the commercial real estate and credit markets may result in:
defaults by tenants at our properties due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity or operational failures;
increases in vacancy rates due to tenant defaults, the expiration or termination of tenant leases and reduced demand for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry;
increases in tenant inducements, tenant improvement expenditures, rent concessions or reduced rental rates, especially to maintain or increase occupancies at our properties;
reduced values of our properties, thereby limiting our ability to dispose of our assets at attractive prices or obtain debt financing secured by our properties on satisfactory terms, as well as reducing the availability of unsecured loans;
the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits being reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investment and other factors;
one or more lenders under our credit facilities refusing to fund their financing commitments to us and, in such event, we are unable to replace the financing commitments of any such lender or lenders on favorable terms, or at all;
a recession or rise in interest rates, which could make it more difficult for us to lease our properties or dispose of our properties or make alternative interest-bearing and other investments more attractive, thereby lowering the relative value of our existing real estate investments;
one or more counterparties to our interest rate swaps default on their obligations to us, thereby increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments;
increases in the supply of competing properties or decreases in the demand for our properties, which may impact our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rents at our properties or to dispose of our investments; and
increased insurance premiums, real estate taxes or energy costs or other expenses, which may reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders or, to the extent such increases are passed through to our tenants, may lead to tenant defaults, tenant turnover, or make it difficult for us to increase rents to tenants on lease turnoverexternal capital which may limit our ability to increase our returns.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected to the extent an economic slowdownmake new investments, refinance debt, or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.

25



Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control, which may affect our ability to seize strategic opportunities, satisfy debt obligations and make distributions to our stockholders.stockholders;
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financings, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may need to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs, meet our debt service obligations, make distributions to our stockholders or make future investments necessary to implement our business strategy. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, in the time period we desire, or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on a number of factors, including: general market conditions; the market’s perception of our growth potential; our current debt levels; our current and expected future earnings; our cash flow and cash distributions; and the market price per share of our common stock. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations to our lenders or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If we were to lose the benefit of the experience, effortsinvolvement and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performancecontributions of our Board of Directors,members and certain key personnel;
significant stockholders attempt to effect changes at our executive officers andcompany or acquire control over our other employees, in the identification and acquisition of investments, the determination and finalization of our financing arrangements, the asset management of our investments, and the operation of our day-to-day activities. Our stockholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments that are not described in this Annual Report or other periodic filings with the SEC. We rely primarily on the management ability of our executive officers and the governance by the members of our Board of Directors, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not have any key-person life insurance on our executive officers. Although we have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers, these employment agreements contain various termination and resignation rights. If we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of these executives, without satisfactory replacements, our operating results could suffer. In addition, if any member of our Board of Directors were to resign, we would lose the benefit of such director’s governance, experience and familiarity with us and the sector within which we operate. As a result of the foregoing, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives or to pay distributions to our stockholders.company;
We rely on information technology in our operations; any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, personal identifying information, and tenant and lease data. Although we have taken steps to protect the securityfailures of our information systemstechnology and related infrastructure;
internal investigations related to the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that our safetywhistleblower policy; and security
pandemics and other health concerns, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and measures will not be ableintended to prevent the systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber-attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.limit their spread.

Risks Related to ourOur Organizational Structure
We mayOur organizational structure involves exposure to risks, including those related to:
our acquisitions of property in exchange for limited partnership units of our operating partnership on termsinterests that could limit our liquidity or our flexibility.flexibility;
We may continuepossible changes to acquire properties by issuing limited partnership units of our operating partnership, HTALP, in exchange for a property owner contributing property to us. If we continue to enter into such transactions in order to induce the contributors of such properties to accept units of our operating partnership rather than cash in exchange for their properties, it may be necessary for us to provide additional incentives. For instance, our operating partnership’s limited partnership agreement provides that any holder of units may exchange limited partnership units on a one-for-one basis for, at our option, cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock. We may, however, enter into additional contractual arrangements with contributors of property under which we would agree to repurchase a contributor’s units for shares of our common stock or cash, at the option of the contributor, at set times. If the contributor required us to repurchase units for cash pursuant to such a provision, it would limit our liquidity and, thus, our ability to use cash to make other investments, satisfy other obligations or make distributions to stockholders. Moreover, if we were required to repurchase units for cash at a time when we did not have sufficient cash to fund the repurchase, we might be required to sell one or more of our properties to raise funds to satisfy this obligation. Furthermore, we might agree that if distributions the contributor received as a limited partner in our operating partnership did not provide the contributor with an established return level, then upon redemption of the contributor’s units we would pay the contributor an additional amount necessary to achieve that return. Such a provision could further negatively impact our liquidity and flexibility. Finally, in order to allow a contributor of a property to defer taxable gain on the contribution of property to our operating partnership, we might agree not to sell a contributed property for a defined period of time or until the contributor exchanged the contributor’s units for cash or shares. Such an agreement would prevent us from selling those properties, even if market conditions would allow such a sale to be favorable to us.
Our Board of Directors may change our investment objectives and major strategies and take other actions without seeking stockholder approval.
Our Board of Directors determines our investment objectives and major strategies, including our strategies regarding investments, financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our Board of Directors may amend and/or revise these and other strategies without a vote of the stockholders. Under our charterstockholder approval; and Maryland law, our stockholders will have a right to vote only on the following matters:
the election or removal of directors;
our dissolution; 
certain mergers, consolidations, conversions, statutory share exchanges and sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of our assets; and
amendments of our charter, except that our Board of Directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to change our name or the name or other designation, or the par value of any class or series of our stock and the aggregate par value of our stock, increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares of stock or the number of our shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue or effect certain reverse stock splits.
As a result, our stockholders will not have a right to approve most actions taken by our Board of Directors.
Certainvarious provisions of Maryland law could delay, defer restricting our ability and/or preventtiming to effect a change of control transaction.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) applicable to us may have the effect of inhibiting or deterring a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of delaying or preventing a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:
provisions of the MGCL that permit our Board of Directors, without our stockholders’ approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses, including adopting a classified board;
“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations, asset transfers and equity security issuances or reclassifications between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of our then outstanding stock) or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter may impose supermajority voting requirements unless certain minimum price conditions are satisfied; and

27



“control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of HTA (defined as shares which, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.
In the case of the business combination provisions of the MGCL, our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution providing that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from this statute, provided that such business combination is first approved by our Board. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. In the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL, we have opted out of these provisions pursuant to a provision in our bylaws. We may, however, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL. We may also choose to adopt a classified board or other takeover defenses in the future. Any such actions could deter a transaction that may otherwise be in the interest of our stockholders.
Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate and Other Real Estate Related Assets
We are dependent on Investments in real estate and other real estate related assets expose us to risk, including risks related to:
the financial stability of our tenants.tenants, including the consequences to us from their bankruptcy or financial insolvency;
Lease payment defaults by our tenants would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such leases. Although 61%concentrations or instability of our annualized base rent was derived from tenants (or their parent companies) that have a credit rating, a tenants’ credit rating (or its’ parents credit rating) is no guarantee of a tenant’s abilitytenant base;
competition to perform its lease obligations and a parent company may choose not to satisfy the obligations of a subsidiary that fails to perform its obligations. If the property is subject to a mortgage, a default by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us may result in a foreclosure on the property if we are unable to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and we may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property, and we may not be able to re-lease the property for the rent previously received, if at all. Lease terminations and expirations could also reduce the value of our properties.
We face potential adverse consequences of bankruptcy or insolvency by our tenants.
We are exposed to the risk that our tenants could become bankrupt or insolvent. This risk would be magnified to the extent that a tenant leased space from us in multiple facilities. The bankruptcy and insolvency laws afford certain rights to a party that has filed for bankruptcy or reorganization. For example, a debtor-tenant may reject its lease with us in a bankruptcy proceeding. In such a case, our claim against the debtor-tenant for unpaid and future rents would be limited by the statutory cap of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This statutory cap might be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed to us under the lease, and it is quite likely that any claim we might have against the tenant for unpaid rent would not be paid in full. In addition, a debtor-tenant may assert in a bankruptcy proceeding that its lease should be re-characterized as a financing agreement. If such a claim is successful, our rights and remedies as a lender, compared to our rights and remedies as a landlord, would generally be more limited.
Our tenant base may not remain stable or could become more concentrated which could harm our operating results and financial condition.
Our tenant base may not remain stable or could become more concentrated among particular physicians and physician groups with varying practices and other medical service providers in the future. Subject to the terms of the applicable leases, our tenants could decide to leave our properties for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, financial stress or changes in the tenant’s ownership or management. Our tenants service the healthcare industry and our tenant mix could become even more concentrated if a preponderance of our tenants practice in a particular medical field or are reliant upon a particular healthcare system. If any of our tenants become financially unstable, our operating results and prospects could suffer, particularly if our tenants become more concentrated.
Our MOBs, developments, redevelopments, and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry and our tenants may be subject to competition.
Our MOBs, developments, redevelopments, and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry often face competition from nearby hospitals, developers, and other MOBs that provide comparable services. Some of those competing facilities are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenues, while others are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. These types of financial support are not available to buildings we own or develop.

28



Similarly, our tenants face competition from other medical practices in nearby hospitals and other medical facilities. Further, referral sources, including physicians and managed care organizations, may change their lists of hospitals or physicians to which they refer patients. Competition and loss of referrals could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments, which could adversely affect our rental revenues. Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our MOBs and other facilities that serve property types with other real estate not owned by us;
the healthcare industry and our tenants to compete successfully may have an adverse effect on our business,ongoing financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
The hospitals on whose campuses our MOBs are located and their affiliated healthcare systems could fail to remain competitive or financially viable, which could adversely impact their ability to attract physicians and physician groups to our MOBs and our other facilities that serve the healthcare industry.
Our MOB operations and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry depend on the viability of thetenant groups, hospitals, on whose campuses our MOBs are located and their affiliated healthcarerelated health systems in orderrelevant to attract physicians and other healthcare-related users. The viability of these hospitals, in turn, depends on factors such as the quality and mix of healthcare services provided, competition, demographic trends in the surrounding community, market position and growth potential, as well as the ability of the affiliated healthcare systems to provide economies of scale and access to capital. If a hospital whose campus is located on or near one of our MOBs is unable to meet its financial obligations, and if an affiliated healthcare system is unable to support that hospital, the hospital may not be able to compete successfully or could be forced to close or relocate, which could adversely impact its ability to attract physicians and other healthcare-related users. Because we rely on our proximity to and affiliations with these hospitals to create tenant demand for space in our MOBs, their inability to remain competitive or financially viable, or to attract physicians and physician groups, could adversely affect our MOB operations and have an adverse effect on us.us;
Thethe unique nature of certain of our properties,property types, including our senior healthcare properties, may make it difficultcare facilities;
the impact to leaseus of climate change and severe weather;
uninsured losses or transfer our property or find replacement tenants, which could require us to spend considerable capital to adapt the property to an alternative use or otherwise negatively affect our performance.
Somepotential of the properties we own or may seek to acquire are specialized medical facilities or otherwise designed or built for a particular tenant of a specific type of use known as a single use facility. For example, senior healthcare facilities present unique challenges with respect to leasing and transfer. Skilled nursing, assisted living and independent living facilities are typically highly customized and may not be easily modified to accommodate non-healthcare-related uses. The improvements generally required to conform a property to healthcare use, such as upgrading electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure, are costly and oftentimes operator-specific. As a result, these property types may not be suitable for lease to traditional office tenants or other healthcare tenants with unique needs without significant expenditures or renovations. A new or replacement tenant may require different features in a property, depending on that tenant’s particular operations.
If we or our tenants terminate or do not renew the leases for our properties or our tenants lose their regulatory authorityand operations to operate such properties or default on their lease obligations to us for any reason, we may not be able to locate, or may incur additional costs to locate, suitable replacement tenants to lease the properties for their specialized uses. Alternatively, we may be required to spend substantial amounts to modify a property for a new tenant, or for multiple tenants with varying infrastructure requirements, before we are able to re-lease the space or we could otherwise incur re-leasing costs. Furthermore, because transfers of healthcare facilities may be subject to regulatory approvals not required for transfers of other types of property, there may be significant delays in transferring operations of senior healthcare facilities to successor operators. Any loss of revenues or additional capital expenditures required as a result may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and under-insured;

Uninsured losses relating to real estate and lender requirements to obtain insurance may reduce stockholder returns.
There are types of losses relating to real estate, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollutionlimitations or environmental matters, for which we do not intend to obtain insurance unless we are required to do so by mortgage lenders. If anyrestrictions on the use of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, from existing ground lease or other arrangements;
the valuerisks to us of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for uninsured losses, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in less cash to be distributed to our stockholders. In cases where we are required by mortgage lenders to obtain casualty loss insurance for catastrophic events or terrorism, such insurance may not be available, or may not be available at a reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. Additionally, if we obtain such insurance, the costs associated with owning a property would increase and could have an adverse effect on the net income from the property and, thus, the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
We may fail to successfully operate acquired properties.
Our ability to successfully operate any properties is subject to the following risks:
we may acquire properties that are not initially accretive to our results upon acquisition and we may not successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations;
we may spend more than budgeted to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations and, as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;
market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and
we may acquire properties subject to liabilities, including contingent liabilities, and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities for the clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants or other persons dealing with former owners of the properties, liabilities, claims, and litigation, including indemnification obligations, whether or not incurred in the ordinary course of business, relating to periods prior to or following our acquisitions, claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties, and liabilities for taxes relating to periods prior to our acquisitions.
If we are unable to successfully operate acquired properties, our financial condition, results of operations, the market price of our common stock, cash flow and ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
We may not be able to control our operating costs or our expenses may remain constant or increase, even if our revenue does not increase, which could cause our results of operations to be adversely affected.
Factors that may adversely affect our ability to control operating costs include the need to pay for insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, which could increase over time, the need periodically to repair, renovate and re-let space, the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning and tax laws, the potential for liability under applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. If our operating costs increase as a result of any of the foregoing factors, our results of operations may be adversely affected. The expenses of owning and operating MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. As a result, if our revenue declines, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. Certain costs associated with real estate investments may not be reduced even if a property is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. If one or more of our properties is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage and take possession of the properties, resulting in a further reduction in our net income.

30



Increases in property taxes could adversely affect our cash flow.
Our properties are subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase as tax rates change and as the real properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Some of our leases generally provide that the property taxes or increases therein are charged to the tenants as an expense related to the real properties that they occupy, while other leases provide that we are generally responsible for such taxes. We are also generally responsible for real property taxes related to any vacant space. In any case, as the owner of the properties, we are ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If real property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes even if the tenant is obligated to do so under the terms of the lease. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing authority may place a lien on the real property and the real property may be subject to a tax sale.
Our ownership of certain MOB properties and other facilities are subject to ground leases or other similar agreements which limit our uses of these properties and may restrict our ability to sell or otherwise transfer such properties.
As of December 31, 2017, we held interests in MOB properties and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry through leasehold interests in the land on which the buildings are located and we may acquire additional properties in the future that are subject to ground leases or other similar agreements. As of December 31, 2017, these properties represented 38% of our total GLA. Many of our ground leases and other similar agreements limit our uses of these properties and may restrict our ability to sell or otherwise transfer such properties without the ground landlord’s consent, which may impair their value.
Our real estate development, redevelopment and construction platform is subjectactivities;
the impact to risks that could adversely impact our results of operations.
A componentus of our current growth strategy is, when appropriate, to pursue accretive development and redevelopment projects. However, there are inherent risks associated with these development and redevelopment projects, including, but not limited to the following:
The development costs of a project may exceed budgeted amounts, causing the project to be not profitable or incur a loss;
We may encounter delays as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including natural disasters, material shortages, and regulatory requirements;
Time required to complete the construction of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and liquidity;
Lease rates and rents at newly developed or redeveloped properties may fluctuate based on factors beyond our control, including market and economic conditions as well as aforementioned budget overages;
We may be unable to obtain favorable financing terms to fund our development projects;
Financing arrangements may require certain milestones, covenants, and other contractual terms that may be violated if the performance of our development and redevelopment projects differs from our projected income; and
Demand from prospective tenants may be reduced due to competition from other developers.
Uncertain market conditions relating to the future disposition of properties or other real estate related assets could cause us to sell our properties or real estate assets and the corresponding market rates and terms for those dispositions being on unfavorable terms or at a loss in terms;
the future.
We intend to hold our various real estate investments until such time as we determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Boardimpact of Directors may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a property and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time. Our Board of Directors may also choose to effect a liquidity event in which we liquidate our investments in other real estate related assets. We generally intend to hold properties for an extended period of time and our mortgage investments until maturity, and we cannot predict with certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we may not be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future or at all, and we may incur prepayment penalties in the event we sell a property subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned. Additionally, if we liquidate our mortgage investments prior to their maturity, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss. For instance, if we are required to liquidate mortgage loans at a time when prevailing interest rates are higher than the interest rates of such mortgage loans, we would likely sell such loans at a discount to their stated principal values. Any inability to sell a property or liquidation of a mortgage investment prior to maturity could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operation, the market price of our common stock and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

31



The mortgage or other real estate-related loans in which we have in the past, and may in the future, invest may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions and delays in liquidation, which could decrease their value.
If we make additional investments in real estate notes receivable, we will be at risk of loss on those investments, including losses as a result of borrower defaults on mortgage loans. These losses may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including economic conditions affecting real estate values, tenant defaults and lease expirations, interest rate levels and the other economic and liability risks associated with real estate as described elsewhere under this heading. Furthermore, if there are borrower defaults under our mortgage loan investments, we may not be ableor real-estate loans;
the impact of risks related to foreclose on or obtain a suitable remedy with respect to such investments. Specifically, we may not be able to repossess and sell the properties under our mortgage loans quickly, which could reduce the value of our investment. For example, an action to foreclose on a property securing a mortgage loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of a borrower default, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the mortgage loan. Additionally, if we acquire property by foreclosure following a borrower default under our mortgage loan investments, we will have the economic and liability risks as the owner described above. Thus, we do not know whether the values of the property securing any of our investments in, real estate related assets will remain at or originations of, mezzanine loans;
the levels existing on the dates we initially make the related investment. If the valuesimpact to us of the underlying properties decline, our risk will increase and the valuevariability of our interests may decrease.
Lease rates under our long-term leases may be lower than fair market lease rates, over time.
We have entered into and may in the future enter into long-termincluding those on longer-term leases or for leases with tenants at certain of contractual lease rates; and
our properties. Certain of our long-term leases provide for rent to increase over time. However, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases, the rent under our long-term leases is less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our income and distributions could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.
Rents associated with new leases for properties in our portfolio may be less than expiring rents (lease roll-down) on existing leases, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our operating results depend upon our ability to maintain and increase rental rates at our properties while also maintaining or increasing occupancy. The rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases and we may also be required to offer greater rental concessions than we have historically. The rental rate spread between expiring leases and new leases may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rental rates across our portfolio, our business, financial condition and results of operation, the market price of our common stock and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
Costs associated with complyingcompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.and other similar legislature.

Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry
New laws or regulations affecting the heavily regulated healthcare industry, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our tenants generally are subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. Changes in these laws and regulations could negatively affect the ability of our tenants to make lease payments to us and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

32



Many of our medical properties and our tenants may require a license or multiple licenses or a CON to operate. Failure to obtain a license or a CON or loss of a required license or a CON would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the tenant. These events could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us. State and local laws also may regulate expansion, including the addition of new beds or services or acquisition of medical equipment, and the construction of facilities that servedependence on the healthcare industry by requiring a CON or other similar approval. State CON involves risks to us, including those related to:
laws are not uniform throughoutaffecting the U.S.healthcare industry, healthcare legislation reform, and are subject to change. We cannot predict the impact of state CON laws on our facilities or the operationslicensure of our tenants.tenants;
In limited circumstances, loss of state licensure or certification or closure of a facility could ultimately result in loss of authority to operate the facility and require new CON authorization to re-institute operations. As a result, a portion of the value of the facility may be reduced, which would adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Comprehensive healthcare reform legislation could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
In March 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act, along with other healthcare reform efforts has resulted in comprehensive healthcare reform in the U.S. through a phased approach, which began in 2010 and will conclude in 2018. It remains difficult to predict the impact of these laws on us due to their complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, and the gradual implementation of the laws over a multi-year period. During the 2016 Presidential and Congressional campaigns, Republicans promised they would seek the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. On January 20, 2017, newly-sworn-in President Trump issued an executive order aimed at seeking the prompt repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and directed the heads of all executive departments and agencies to minimize the economic and regulatory burdens of the Affordable Care Act to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, there have been and continue to be numerous Congressional attempts to amend and repeal the law. We cannot predict whether any of these attempts to amend or repeal the law will be successful. The future of the Affordable Care Act is uncertain and anyadverse changes to existing laws and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act’s repeal, modification or replacement, could have a long-term financial impact on the delivery of and payment for healthcare. Both our tenants and us may be adversely affected by the law or its repeal, modification or replacement.
Reductions in reimbursement from third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us.
Sources of revenue for our tenants may include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider arrangements and self-insured employers, among others. Changes in the reimbursement rate or methods of paymentrates from third-party payors includingto our tenants;
government budget deficits and reduced appropriations to Medicare and Medicaid, could impact Medicaid; and
the revenueviolation of our tenants.
The healthcare industry also faces various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on healthcare providers to control or reduce costs. A focus on controlling costs could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of some or all of our tenants. The financial impact onlaws by our tenants, could restrict their ability to make rent payments to us, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Government budget deficits could lead to a reduction in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement, which could adversely affect the financial condition of our tenants.
Adverse U.S. economic conditions have negatively affected state budgets, which may put pressure on states to decrease reimbursement rates with the goal of decreasing state expenditures under state Medicaid programs. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to unemployment, declines in family incomes and eligibility expansions required by the recently enacted healthcare reform law. These potential reductions could be compounded by the potential for federal cost-cutting efforts that could lead to reductions in reimbursement rates under both the federal Medicare program and state Medicaid programs. Potential reductions in reimbursements under these programs could negatively impact the ability of our tenants and their ability to meet their obligations to us, which could, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

33



Some tenants at our MOBs and our other facilities that serve the healthcare industry are subject toincluding fraud and abuse laws the violation of which by a tenant may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to make rent payments to us.and licensure violations.
As described in the Item 1 - Business, there are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from, or are in a position to make referrals in connection with, government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of their business, our tenants may be subject to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies as well as whistleblower suits under the False Claims Act from private individuals. An investigation by a federal or state governmental agency for violation of fraud and abuse laws, a whistleblower suit, or the imposition of criminal/civil penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments. In turn, this may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Risks Related to Debt Financing
We haveOur debt financing arrangements involve risks to us, including those related to:
our dependence on indebtedness and intend to incur indebtedness, which may increase ourassociated business risks, could hinderincluding the hindrance of our ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of our Company.distributions;
As of December 31, 2017, we had fixed and variable rate debt of $2.8 billion outstanding. We intendchanges to continue to finance a portionor elimination of the purchase price of our investments in real estate and other real estate related assets by borrowing funds. In addition, weLondon Inter-Bank Offered Rate;
restrictive covenants that may incur mortgage debt and pledge some or all of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties or for working capital. We may also borrow funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. Furthermore, we may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure over the long run. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short term basis as we execute our business strategy.
High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount available for distributions to our stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of the Company. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties will be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we will recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to our affiliated entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an affiliated entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by our affiliated entity. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default by us on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default by us, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
Covenants in the instruments governing our existing indebtedness limit our operational flexibilityflexibility; and a covenant breach could adversely affect our operations.
The terms of the instruments governing our existing indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants. These provisions include, among other things: a limitation on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; limitations on mergers; investments; acquisitions; redemptions of capital stock; transactions with affiliates; and maintenance of specified financial ratios. Our continued ability to incur debt and operate our business is subject to compliance with these covenants, which limit our operational flexibility. Breaches of these covenants could result in defaults by us under applicable debt instruments, even if payment obligations are satisfied. Financial and other covenants that limit our operational flexibility, as well as defaults resulting from our breach of any of these covenants in our debt instruments, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our abilityand the potential inability for us to obtainseek additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and negatively impact the market price of our securities, including our common stock.all.
Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and, in the event that our current credit ratings deteriorate, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and it may be more difficult or expensive for us to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences for us under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.
Risks Related to Joint Ventures
Our investments in joint venture arrangements involves risks to us that the terms of our agreements could impair our cash flow, operating flexibility and/or our results of operations.

Federal Income Tax Risks
We face risks related to certain tax laws and associated taxation of our company, including those related to:
our failure to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
our ability to continue qualifying as a REIT; and
ownership limits with respect to capital stock contained in our corporate charter may delay, defer or prevent a change of control or other transaction.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Forward Sale Agreements
Our common stock, including our common stock sold pursuant to forward sales agreements involves risks, including those related to:
historical and possible future fluctuations in the price of our common stock;
future offerings of debt securities ranking senior to our common stock, or our issuance of additional equity securities that may be senior and/or dilutive to our existing stockholders;
changes in the frequency or amount of our dividends;
increases in market interest rates;
the failure of securities analysts to publish reports about us or the downgrading of our common stock and/or the healthcare real-estate sector;
settlement provisions contained in our forward sale agreements resulting in dilution to our stockholders;
the U.S. federal income tax treatment of cash we might receive from cash settlement of our forward sale agreements may jeopardize our qualification as a REIT; and
in case of our bankruptcy or insolvency we would not receive the expected proceeds from any forward sales of our common stock.

Risks Related to the Merger
We face risks related to the proposed merger with Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, including those related to:
the effect of the announcement and pendency of the merger agreement on our business;
the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions;
litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the merger agreement; and
the fact that the exchange ratio will not be adjusted in the event of changes in stock prices.

Risk Factors
This section highlights significant factors, events and uncertainties that could create risk with an investment in our securities. The events and consequences discussed in these risk factors could, in circumstances we may not be able to accurately predict, recognize or control, have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity, ability to pay dividends and the price of our common stock. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face. Our operations could also be affected by factors, events or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
We are dependent on investments in the healthcare property sector, making our profitability more vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in that specific sector than if we were investing in multiple industries.
We concentrate our investments in the healthcare property sector. As a result, we are subject to risks inherent to investments in a single industry. A downturn or slowdown in the healthcare property sector would have a greater adverse impact on our business than if we had investments in multiple industries. Specifically, a downturn in the healthcare property sector could negatively impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments to us as well as our ability to maintain rental and occupancy rates, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Our ability to make future acquisitions may be impeded, or the cost of these acquisitions may be increased, due to a variety of factors, including competition for the acquisition of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry.
At any given time, we may be pursuing property acquisitions or have properties subject to letters of intent, but we cannot assure you that we will acquire any such properties because the letters of intent are non-binding and potential transaction opportunities are subject to a variety of factors, including: (i) the willingness of the current property owner to proceed with a potential transaction with us; (ii) our completion of due diligence that is satisfactory to us and our receipt of internal approvals; (iii) the negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable binding purchase agreements; and (iv) the satisfaction of closing conditions, including our receipt of third-party consents and approvals. We also compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for the acquisition of MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, including national, regional and local operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare properties. The competition for the acquisition of healthcare properties may significantly increase the prices we must pay for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry or other real estate related assets we seek to acquire. This competition may also effectively limit the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or the number of properties that we are able to acquire, and may increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell to us, making it more difficult for us to acquire new properties on attractive terms. The potential sellers of our acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive purchasers because they may have greater resources, may be willing to pay more to acquire the properties, may have pre-existing relationships or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger healthcare REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages over us that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. Moreover, our competitors generally may be able to accept more risk with respect to their acquisitions than we can prudently manage or are willing to accept. In addition, the number of our competitors and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase, which could result in increased demand for these properties and, therefore, increased prices to acquire them. Because of an increased interest in single-property acquisitions among tax-motivated individual purchasers, we may pay higher prices for the purchase of single properties in comparison with the purchase of multi-property portfolios. If we pay higher prices for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, or otherwise incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of potential acquisitions, including potential transactions that we are subsequently unable or elect not to complete, our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
24


We may not be able to maintain or expand our relationships with hospitals, healthcare systems and developers, which may impede our ability to identify and complete acquisitions directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers, and may otherwise adversely affect our growth, business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
The success of our business depends to a large extent on our past, current and future relationships with hospitals, healthcare systems and developers, including our ability to acquire properties directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers. We invest a significant amount of time to develop and maintain these relationships, and these relationships have helped us secure acquisition opportunities. Facilities that are acquired directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers are typically more attractive to us as a purchaser because of the absence of a formal competitive marketing process, which could lead to higher prices. If any of our relationships with hospitals, healthcare systems and developers deteriorates, or if a conflict of interest or a non-compete arrangement prevents us from expanding these relationships, our professional reputation within the industry could be damaged and we may not be able to secure attractive acquisition opportunities directly from hospitals, healthcare systems and developers in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to locate and acquire facilities at attractive prices.
Our results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and our ability to dispose of our investments are subject to general economic conditions affecting the commercial real estate and credit markets.
Our business is sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as the commercial real estate and credit markets. For example, a financial disruption or credit crisis could negatively impact the value of commercial real estate assets, contributing to a general slowdown in our industry. A slow economic recovery could cause a reduction in the overall volume of transactions, number of sales and leasing activities of the type that we previously experienced. We are unable to predict future changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions.
Adverse economic conditions in the commercial real estate and credit markets may result in:
defaults by tenants at our properties due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity or operational failures;
increases in vacancy rates due to tenant defaults, the expiration or termination of tenant leases, and reduced demand for MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry;
increases in tenant inducements, tenant improvement expenditures, rent concessions or reduced rental rates, especially to maintain or increase occupancy at our properties;
reduced values of our properties, thereby limiting our ability to dispose of our assets at attractive prices or obtain debt financing secured by our properties on satisfactory terms, as well as reducing the availability of unsecured loans;
the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits being reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments and other factors;
one or more lenders under our credit facilities refusing to fund their financing commitments to us and, in such event, we are unable to replace the financing commitments of any such lender or lenders on favorable terms, or at all;
a recession or rise in interest rates, which could make it more difficult for us to lease our properties or dispose of our properties or make alternative interest-bearing and other investments more attractive, thereby lowering the relative value of our existing real estate investments;
one or more counterparties to our interest rate swaps default on their obligations to us, thereby increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments;
increases in the supply of competing properties or decreases in the demand for our properties, which may impact our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rents at our properties or to dispose of our investments; and
increased insurance premiums, real estate taxes or energy costs or other expenses, which may reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders or, to the extent such increases are passed through to our tenants, may lead to tenant defaults, tenant turnover, or make it difficult for us to increase rents to tenants on lease turnover which may limit our ability to increase our returns.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected to the extent an economic slowdown or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.
25


Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control, which may affect our ability to seize strategic opportunities, satisfy debt obligations and make distributions to our stockholders.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financings, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may need to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs, meet our debt service obligations, make distributions to our stockholders or make future investments necessary to implement our business strategy. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, in the time period we desire, or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on a number of factors, including: general market conditions; the market’s perception of our growth potential; our current debt levels; our current and expected future earnings; our cash flow and cash distributions; and the market price per share of our common stock. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations to our lenders or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our Board members, our interim Chief Executive Officer and other key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If we are unable to employ a satisfactory successor to our interim Chief Executive Officer or if we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our Board of Directors, our executive officers and our other employees. A special committee of our Board is currently engaged in a search process to identify and employ a successor to our interim Chief Executive Officer who was appointed following the resignation of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective August 2, 2021. If we are unable to employ a satisfactory replacement Chief Executive Officer or are unable to do so on a timely basis, our operating results could suffer. Our Board of Directors establishes important policies, governance objectives and strategic goals, and our management team serves a critical role in the identification and acquisition of investments, the determination and finalization of our financing arrangements, the asset management of our investments, and the operation of our day-to-day activities. Our stockholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments that are not described in our 2020 from 10-K or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We rely primarily on the management ability of our executive officers and the governance by the members of our Board of Directors, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not have any key-person life insurance on our executive officers. Although we have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers, these employment agreements contain various termination and resignation rights. If we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of these executives, without satisfactory replacements, our operating results could suffer. In addition, if any member of our Board of Directors were to resign, we would lose the benefit of such director’s governance expertise and experience, and familiarity with us and the sector within which we operate. As a result of the foregoing, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives or to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Significant stockholders may attempt to effect changes at our company or acquire control over our company, which could impact the pursuit of business strategies and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We recently received communications from an investor regarding our governance and strategic direction. Other investors could take steps to involve themselves in our governance and strategic direction. Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in our strategic direction and how we are governed, or to acquire control over the company. Some investors seek to increase short-term stockholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases, or even sales of assets or the entire company. While we welcome varying opinions from all shareholders, activist campaigns that contest or conflict with our strategic direction could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition as responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist shareholders can disrupt our operations, be costly and time-consuming, and divert the attention of our board and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to the composition of our board may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity which may be exploited by our competitors, may cause concern to our current or potential customers, may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners. These types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

26


We rely on information technology in our operations; any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, personal identifying information, and tenant and lease data. Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information systems and the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that our safety and security measures will not be able to prevent the systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber-attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our recently substantially completed internal investigation into circumstances relating to reports pursuant to our whistleblower policy could result in adverse consequences that would adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, and our board’s audit committee, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, recently substantially completed an internal investigation into circumstances relating to reports pursuant to our whistleblower policy. On November 4, 2021, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in which we reported on the results of the internal investigation. Although we concluded that the matters that were the subject of the ongoing investigation have not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, we cannot exclude the possibility of unanticipated adverse consequences of the internal investigation, including, but not limited to, the possibility that the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authorities or regulators may commence investigations into the facts underlying our internal investigation; the consequences of any such government investigations, including the imposition of civil or criminal penalties; the risk that we may become subject to shareholder lawsuits, the defense of which may be costly; potential reputational harm resulting from the facts underlying the internal investigation; the possibility that executives or other employees may resign or be terminated; the impact of the investigation on historical financial statements; the effect of the internal investigation on our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures and on our ability to timely file the reports we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pandemics and other health concerns, including the currently ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures intended to prevent their spread, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Pandemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and those caused by possible new strains or mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as both future widespread and localized outbreaks of infectious diseases and other health concerns, and the measures taken to prevent the spread or lessen the impact, could cause a material disruption to our industry or deteriorate the economy as a whole. The impacts of such events could be severe and far-reaching, and may impact our operations in several ways. Such operational impacts include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) tenants could experience deteriorating financial conditions and be unable or unwilling to pay rent on time and in full; (ii) we may have to restructure tenants' obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are favorable to us; (iii) inquiries and tours at our properties could decrease; (iv) move-ins and new tenanting efforts, and re-letting efforts could slow or stop altogether; (v) move-outs and potential early termination of leases thereunder could increase; (vi) operating expenses, including the costs of certain essential services or supplies, including payments to third-party contractors, service providers, and employees essential to ensure continuity in our building operations may increase; and (vii) costs of development, including expenditures for materials utilized in construction and labor essential to complete existing developments in progress may increase substantively.
Further, disruption in the real estate markets may restrict our ability to deploy capital for new investments, or limit our ability to make new investments on terms that are favorable to us.
Additionally, these types of events could cause severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide which could stretch to bank lending, capital and other financial markets. If these markets are affected, future access to capital and other sources of funding could be constrained which could adversely affect the availability and terms of our future borrowings, our ability to refinance existing debt, our ability to draw on our revolving credit facility, and our ability to raise equity financing on terms that are favorable to us.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
We may structure acquisitions of property in exchange for limited partnership units of our operating partnership on terms that could limit our liquidity or our flexibility.
We may continue to acquire properties by issuing limited partnership units of our operating partnership, HTALP, in exchange for a property owner contributing property to us. If we continue to enter into such transactions in order to induce the contributors of such properties to accept units of our operating partnership rather than cash in exchange for their properties, it may be necessary for us to provide additional incentives. For instance, our operating partnership’s limited partnership agreement provides that any holder of units may exchange limited partnership units on a one-for-one basis for, at our option, cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock. We may, however, enter into additional contractual arrangements with contributors of property under which we would agree to repurchase a contributor’s units for shares of our common stock or cash, at the option of the contributor, at set times. If the contributor required us to repurchase units for cash pursuant to such a provision, it would limit our liquidity and, thus, our ability to use cash to make other investments, satisfy other obligations or make distributions to stockholders. Moreover, if we were required to repurchase units for cash at a time when we did not have sufficient cash to fund the repurchase, we might be required to sell one or more of our properties to raise funds to satisfy this obligation. Furthermore, we might agree that if distributions the contributor received as a limited partner in our operating partnership did not provide the contributor with an established return level, then upon redemption of the contributor’s units we would pay the contributor an additional amount necessary to achieve that return. Such a provision could further negatively impact our liquidity and flexibility. Finally, in order to allow a contributor of a property to defer taxable gain on the contribution of property to our operating partnership, we might agree not to sell a contributed property for a defined period of time or until the contributor exchanged the contributor’s units for cash or shares. Such an agreement would prevent us from selling those properties, even if market conditions would allow such a sale to be favorable to us.
Our Board of Directors may change our investment objectives and major strategies and take other actions without seeking stockholder approval.
Our Board of Directors determines our investment objectives and major strategies, including our strategies regarding investments, financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our Board of Directors may amend or revise these and other strategies without a vote of the stockholders. Under our charter and Maryland law, our stockholders will have a right to vote only on the following matters:
the election or removal of directors;
our dissolution; 
certain mergers, consolidations, conversions, statutory share exchanges and sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of our assets; and
amendments of our charter, except that our Board of Directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to change our name or the name or other designation or the par value of any class or series of our stock and the aggregate par value of our stock, increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares of stock or the number of our shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue or effect certain reverse stock splits.
As a result, our stockholders will not have a right to approve most actions taken by our Board of Directors.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) applicable to us may have the effect of inhibiting or deterring a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of delaying or preventing a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:
provisions under Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL that permit our Board of Directors, without our stockholders’ approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses;
“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations, asset transfers and equity security issuances or reclassifications between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of our then outstanding stock) or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter may impose supermajority voting requirements unless certain minimum price conditions are satisfied; and
28


“control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of HTA (defined as shares which, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors, we are prohibited from classifying the Board under Subtitle 8 unless stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors approve a proposal to repeal such resolution by the affirmative of a majority of the votes cast on the matter. In the case of the business combination provisions of the MGCL, our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution providing that any business combination between us and any other person is exempted from this statute, provided that such business combination is first approved by our Board. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time. In the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL, we have opted out of these provisions pursuant to a provision in our bylaws. We may, however, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL. We may also choose to adopt other takeover defenses in the future. Any such actions could deter a transaction that may otherwise be in the interest of our stockholders.
Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate and Other Real Estate Related Assets
We are dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.
Lease payment defaults by our tenants would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such leases. Although 58% of our annualized base rent was derived from tenants (or their parent companies) that have a credit rating, a tenants’ credit rating (or its’ parents credit rating) is no guarantee of a tenant’s ability to perform its lease obligations and a parent company may choose not to satisfy the obligations of a subsidiary that fails to perform its obligations. If the property is subject to a mortgage, a default by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us may result in a foreclosure on the property if we are unable to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and we may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property, and we may not be able to re-lease the property for the rent previously received, if at all. Lease terminations and expirations could also reduce the value of our properties.
We face potential adverse consequences of bankruptcy or insolvency by our tenants.
We are exposed to the risk that our tenants could become bankrupt or insolvent. This risk would be magnified to the extent that a tenant leased space from us in multiple facilities. The bankruptcy and insolvency laws afford certain rights to a party that has filed for bankruptcy or reorganization. For example, a debtor-tenant may reject its lease with us in a bankruptcy proceeding. In such a case, our claim against the debtor-tenant for unpaid and future rents would be limited by the statutory cap of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This statutory cap might be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed to us under the lease, and it is quite likely that any claim we might have against the tenant for unpaid rent would not be paid in full. In addition, a debtor-tenant may assert in a bankruptcy proceeding that its lease should be re-characterized as a financing agreement. If such a claim is successful, our rights and remedies as a lender, compared to our rights and remedies as a landlord, would generally be more limited.
Our tenant base may not remain stable or could become more concentrated which could harm our operating results and financial condition.
Our tenant base may not remain stable or could become more concentrated among particular physicians and physician groups with varying practices and other medical service providers in the future. Subject to the terms of the applicable leases, our tenants could decide to leave our properties for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, financial stress or changes in the tenant’s ownership or management. Our tenants service the healthcare industry and our tenant mix could become even more concentrated if a preponderance of our tenants practice in a particular medical field or are reliant upon a particular healthcare system. If any of our tenants become financially unstable, our operating results and prospects could suffer, particularly if our tenants become more concentrated.
Our MOBs, developments, redevelopments, and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry and our tenants may be subject to competition.
Our MOBs, developments, redevelopments, and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry often face competition from nearby hospitals, developers, and other MOBs that provide comparable services. Some of those competing facilities are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenues, while others are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. These types of financial support are not available to buildings we own or develop.
29


Similarly, our tenants face competition from other medical practices in nearby hospitals and other medical facilities. Further, referral sources, including physicians and managed care organizations, may change their lists of hospitals or physicians to which they refer patients. Competition and loss of referrals could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments, which could adversely affect our rental revenues. Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry and our tenants to compete successfully may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
The hospitals on whose campuses our MOBs are located and their affiliated healthcare systems could fail to remain competitive or financially viable, which could adversely impact their ability to attract physicians and physician groups to our MOBs and our other facilities that serve the healthcare industry.
Our MOB operations and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry depend on the viability of the hospitals on whose campuses our MOBs are located and their affiliated healthcare systems in order to attract physicians and other healthcare-related users. The viability of these hospitals, in turn, depends on factors such as the quality and mix of healthcare services provided, competition, demographic trends in the surrounding community, market position and growth potential, as well as the ability of the affiliated healthcare systems to provide economies of scale and access to capital. If a hospital whose campus is located on or near one of our MOBs is unable to meet its financial obligations, and if an affiliated healthcare system is unable to support that hospital, the hospital may not be able to compete successfully or could be forced to close or relocate, which could adversely impact its ability to attract physicians and other healthcare-related users. Because we rely on our proximity to and affiliations with these hospitals to create tenant demand for space in our MOBs, their inability to remain competitive or financially viable, or to attract physicians and physician groups, could adversely affect our MOB operations and have an adverse effect on us.
The unique nature of certain of our properties, including our senior healthcare properties, may make it difficult to lease or transfer our property or find replacement tenants, which could require us to spend considerable capital to adapt the property to an alternative use or otherwise negatively affect our performance.
Some of the properties we own or may seek to acquire are specialized medical facilities or otherwise designed or built for a particular tenant of a specific type of use known as a single use facility. For example, senior healthcare facilities present unique challenges with respect to leasing and transfer. Skilled nursing, assisted living and independent living facilities are typically highly customized and may not be easily modified to accommodate non-healthcare-related uses. The improvements generally required to conform a property to healthcare use, such as upgrading electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure, are costly and oftentimes operator-specific. As a result, these property types may not be suitable for lease to traditional office tenants or other healthcare tenants with unique needs without significant expenditures or renovations. A new or replacement tenant may require different features in a property, depending on that tenant’s particular operations.
If we or our tenants terminate or do not renew the leases for our properties or our tenants lose their regulatory authority to operate such properties or default on their lease obligations to us for any reason, we may not be able to locate, or may incur additional costs to locate, suitable replacement tenants to lease the properties for their specialized uses. Alternatively, we may be required to spend substantial amounts to modify a property for a new tenant, or for multiple tenants with varying infrastructure requirements, before we are able to re-lease the space or we could otherwise incur re-leasing costs. Furthermore, because transfers of healthcare facilities may be subject to regulatory approvals not required for transfers of other types of properties, there may be significant delays in transferring operations of senior healthcare facilities to successor operators. Any loss of revenues or additional capital expenditures required as a result may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We face possible risks and costs associated with the effects of climate change and severe weather.
We cannot predict the rate at which climate change will progress. However, the physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. For example, many of our properties are located along the east coast of the U.S. and in Texas. To the extent that climate change impacts changes in weather patterns, our markets could experience severe weather, including hurricanes, severe winter storms and coastal flooding due to increases in storm intensity and rising sea levels. Over time, these conditions could result in declining demand for space at our properties, tenant disruption or displacement, delays in construction, resulting in increased construction costs, or in our inability to operate the buildings at all. Climate change and severe weather may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of, or decreasing the availability of, property insurance on terms we find acceptable, by increasing the cost of energy, maintenance, repair of water and/or wind damage, and snow removal at our properties.

30


Although Congress has not yet enacted comprehensive federal legislation to address climate change, numerous states and municipalities have adopted laws and policies on climate change and emission reduction targets. Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulation based on concerns about climate change could result in increased capital expenditures on our existing properties and our new development properties (for example, to improve their energy efficiency and/or resistance to severe weather) without a corresponding increase in revenue, resulting in adverse impacts to our net income. There can be no assurance that climate change and severe weather will not have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations, or business.
Uninsured losses relating to real estate and lender requirements to obtain insurance may reduce stockholder returns.
There are types of losses relating to real estate, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, for which we do not intend to obtain insurance unless we are required to do so by mortgage lenders. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for uninsured losses, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in less cash to be distributed to our stockholders. In cases where we are required by mortgage lenders to obtain casualty loss insurance for catastrophic events or terrorism, such insurance may not be available, or may not be available at a reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. Additionally, if we obtain such insurance, the costs associated with owning a property would increase and could have an adverse effect on the net income from the property and, thus, the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
We may fail to successfully operate acquired properties.
Our ability to successfully operate any properties is subject to the following risks:
we may acquire properties that are not initially accretive to our results upon acquisition and we may not successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations;
we may spend more than amounts budgeted to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations and, as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;
market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and
we may acquire properties subject to liabilities, including contingent liabilities, and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse to third-parties, with respect to unknown liabilities for the clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants or other persons dealing with former owners of the properties, liabilities, claims, and litigation, including indemnification obligations, whether or not incurred in the ordinary course of business, relating to periods prior to or following our acquisitions, claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties, and liabilities for taxes relating to periods prior to our acquisitions.
If we are unable to successfully operate acquired properties, our financial condition, results of operations, the market price of our common stock, cash flow and ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
We may not be able to control our operating costs or our expenses may remain constant or increase, even if our revenue does not increase, which could cause our results of operations to be adversely affected.
Factors that may adversely affect our ability to control operating costs include the need to pay for insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, which could increase over time, the need periodically to repair, renovate and re-let space, the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning and tax laws, the potential for liability under applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. If our operating costs increase as a result of any of the foregoing factors, our results of operations may be adversely affected. The expenses of owning and operating MOBs and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. As a result, if our revenue declines, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. Certain costs associated with real estate investments may not be reduced even if a property is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. If one or more of our properties is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage and take possession of the properties, resulting in a further reduction in our net income.
31


Increases in property taxes could adversely affect our cash flow.
Our properties are subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase as tax rates change and as the real properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Some of our leases generally provide that the property taxes or increases therein are charged to the tenants as an expense related to the real properties that they occupy, while other leases provide that we are generally responsible for such taxes. We are also generally responsible for real property taxes related to any vacant space. In any case, as the owner of the properties, we are ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If real property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes even if the tenant is obligated to do so under the terms of the lease. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing authority may place a lien on the real property and the real property may be subject to a tax sale.
Our ownership of certain MOB properties and other facilities are subject to ground leases or other similar agreements which limit our uses of these properties and may restrict our ability to sell or otherwise transfer such properties.
As of December 31, 2021, we held interests in certain MOB properties and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry through leasehold interests in the land on which the buildings are located and we may acquire additional properties in the future that are subject to ground leases or other similar agreements. As of December 31, 2021, these properties represented 37% of our total GLA. Many of our ground leases and other similar agreements limit our uses of these properties and may restrict our ability to sell or otherwise transfer such properties without the ground landlord’s consent, which may impair their value.
Our real estate development, redevelopment and construction platform is subject to risks that could adversely impact our results of operations.
A component of our current growth strategy is, when appropriate, to pursue accretive development and redevelopment projects. However, there are inherent risks associated with these development and redevelopment projects, including, but not limited to, the following:
the development costs of a project may exceed budgeted amounts, causing the project to be unprofitable or to incur a loss;
we may encounter delays as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond our control, including natural disasters, material shortages, and regulatory requirements;
the time required to complete the construction of a project or to lease up the completed project may be longer than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and liquidity;
lease rates and rents at newly developed or redeveloped properties may fluctuate based on factors beyond our control, including market and economic conditions as well as the aforementioned budget overages;
we may be unable to obtain favorable financing terms to fund our development projects;
financing arrangements may require certain milestones, covenants, and other contractual terms that may be violated if the performance of our development and redevelopment projects differs from our projected income;
demand from prospective tenants may be reduced due to competition from other developers; and
tenants who pre-lease a portion of our development projects may fail to occupy the property upon development completion.
Uncertain market conditions relating to the future disposition of properties or other real estate related assets could cause us to sell our properties or real estate assets on unfavorable terms or at a loss in the future.
We intend to hold our various real estate investments until such time as we determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Board of Directors may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a property and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time. Our Board of Directors may also choose to effect a liquidity event in which we liquidate our investments in other real estate related assets. We generally intend to hold properties for an extended period of time and our mortgage investments until maturity, and we cannot predict with certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we may not be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future or at all, and we may incur prepayment penalties in the event we sell a property subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned. Additionally, if we liquidate our mortgage investments prior to their maturity, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss. For instance, if we are required to liquidate mortgage loans at a time when prevailing interest rates are higher than the interest rates of such mortgage loans, we would likely sell such loans at a discount to their stated principal values. Any
32


inability to sell a property or liquidation of a mortgage investment prior to maturity could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operation, the market price of our common stock and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
The mortgage or other real estate-related loans in which we have in the past, and may in the future, invest may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions and delays in liquidation, which could decrease their value.
If we make additional investments in notes secured by real estate or other collateral, we will be at risk of loss on those investments, including losses as a result of borrower defaults on mortgage loans. These losses may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including economic conditions affecting real estate values, tenant defaults and lease expirations, interest rate levels and the other economic and liability risks associated with real estate as described elsewhere under this heading. Furthermore, if there are borrower defaults under our mortgage loan investments, we may not be able to foreclose on, or obtain a suitable remedy with respect to, such investments. Specifically, we may not be able to repossess and sell the properties under our mortgage loans quickly, which could reduce the value of our investment. For example, an action to foreclose on a property securing a mortgage loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of a borrower default, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the mortgage loan. Additionally, if we acquire property by foreclosure following a borrower default under our mortgage loan investments, we will have the economic and liability risks as the owner described above. Thus, we do not know whether the values of the property securing any of our investments in real estate related assets will remain at the levels existing on the dates we initially make the related investment. If the values of the underlying properties decline, our risk will increase and the value of our interests may decrease.
Our investments in, or originations of, mezzanine loans will be subject to specific risks relating to the particular property or entity obligated to repay the loan, and our loan assets will involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing properties.
Mezzanine loan investments involve special risks relating to the particular borrower, including its financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, business, and prospects. We may also originate other real estate-related investments which take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the property or a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the property or other properties. These types of assets involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income producing real property because the loan may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender and because it is in a subordinated position and there may not be adequate equity in the property. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy such loan. If a borrower defaults on a loan or debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, such loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt. We may be unable to enforce guaranties of payment and/or performance given as security for some loans. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our initial expenditure. Mezzanine and term loans may partially finance the construction of real estate projects and so involve additional risks inherent in the construction process, such as adherence to budgets and construction schedules. In addition, mezzanine and term loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the property and increasing the risk of loss of principal. Significant losses related to our mezzanine and term loans would result in operating losses for us and may limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Lease rates under our long-term leases may be lower than fair market lease rates over time.
We have entered into and may in the future enter into long-term leases with tenants at certain of our properties. Certain of our long-term leases provide for rent to increase over time. However, if we do not accurately judge the potential for future increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases, the rent under our long-term leases is less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our income and distributions could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.
33


Rents associated with new leases for properties in our portfolio may be less than expiring rents (lease roll-down) on existing leases, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our operating results depend upon our ability to maintain and increase rental rates at our properties while also maintaining or increasing occupancy. The rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases and we may also be required to offer greater rental concessions than we have historically. The rental rate spread between expiring leases and new leases may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rental rates across our portfolio, our business, financial condition and results of operation, the market price of our common stock and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.
Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. A number of additional U.S. federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to our properties, or restrict certain further renovations of the properties, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and/or an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If one or more of our properties is not in compliance with the ADA or other related legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the facility into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or other related legislation, our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry
New laws or regulations affecting the heavily regulated healthcare industry, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our tenants generally are subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. Changes in these laws and regulations could negatively affect the ability of our tenants to make lease payments to us and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Many of our medical properties and our tenants may require a license or multiple licenses or a CON to operate. Failure to obtain a license or a CON or loss of a required license or a CON would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the tenant. These events could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us. State and local laws also may regulate expansion, including the addition of new beds or services, or acquisition of medical equipment, and the construction of facilities that serve the healthcare industry, by requiring a CON or other similar approval. State CON laws are not uniform throughout the U.S. and are subject to change. We cannot predict the impact of state CON laws on our facilities or the operations of our tenants.
In limited circumstances, loss of state licensure or certification or closure of a facility could ultimately result in the loss of authority to operate the facility and require a new CON authorization to re-institute operations. As a result, a portion of the value of the facility may be reduced, which would adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Comprehensive healthcare reform legislation could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
In March 2010, then President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). The ACA, along with other healthcare reform efforts, has resulted in comprehensive healthcare reform in the U.S. through a phased approach, which began in 2010 and concluded in 2018. It remains difficult to predict the impact of these laws on us due to their complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, and the gradual implementation of the laws over a multi-year period. During the 2016 Presidential and Congressional campaigns, Republicans promised they would seek the repeal of the ACA. On January 20, 2017, then newly-sworn-in President Trump issued an executive order aimed at seeking the prompt repeal of the ACA, and directed the heads of all executive departments and agencies to minimize the economic and regulatory burdens of the ACA to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, there have been and continue to be numerous Congressional attempts to amend and repeal the law. While no full repeal bills have passed both chambers of Congress, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the tax penalty associated with a key provision of the ACA known as the “individual mandate” beginning January 1, 2019. On December 14, 2018, a Texas federal district court judge, in the case of Texas v. Azar, declared the ACA unconstitutional, reasoning that the individual mandate tax penalty was essential to and not severable from the remainder of the ACA. The case was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On December 18, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the ACA’s “individual mandate” was unconstitutional but sent the case back to the
34


District Court for further analysis of whether the entire ACA is also rendered unconstitutional. In November 2020, Joseph Biden was elected President, and in January 2021, the Democratic Party obtained control of the Senate. As a result of these electoral developments, we believe it is unlikely that continued legislative efforts will be pursued to repeal the ACA. Instead, we believe it is possible that legislation will be pursued in order to enhance or reform the ACA. At this time, we are unable to state with certainty what the impact of any potential legislation may have on our business. Both we and our tenants may be adversely affected by new laws, or any modification and/or replacement of existing law.
Reductions in reimbursement from third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us.
Sources of revenue for our tenants may include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider arrangements and self-insured employers, among others. Changes in the reimbursement rate or methods of payment from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could impact the revenue of our tenants.
The healthcare industry also faces various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on healthcare providers to control or reduce costs. A focus on controlling costs could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of some or all of our tenants. The financial impact on our tenants could restrict their ability to make rent payments to us, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Government budget deficits could lead to a reduction in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement, which could adversely affect the financial condition of our tenants.
Adverse U.S. economic conditions have negatively affected state budgets, which may put pressure on states to decrease reimbursement rates with the goal of decreasing state expenditures under state Medicaid programs. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to unemployment, declines in family incomes and eligibility expansions required by the recently enacted healthcare reform law. These potential reductions could be compounded by the potential for federal cost-cutting efforts that could lead to reductions in reimbursement rates under both the federal Medicare program and state Medicaid programs. Potential reductions in reimbursements under these programs could negatively impact the ability of our tenants and their ability to meet their obligations to us, which could, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Some tenants at our MOBs and our other facilities that serve the healthcare industry are subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a tenant may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to make rent payments to us.
As described in the Item 1 - Business, there are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from, or are in a position to make referrals in connection with, government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of their business, our tenants may be subject to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies as well as whistleblower suits under the False Claims Act from private individuals. An investigation by a federal or state governmental agency for violation of fraud and abuse laws, a whistleblower suit, or the imposition of criminal/civil penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments. In turn, this may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Risks Related to Debt Financing
We have and intend to incur indebtedness, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of our Company.
As of December 31, 2021, we had total debt outstanding of $3.0 billion. We intend to continue to finance a portion of the purchase price of our investments in real estate and other real estate related assets by borrowing funds. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge some or all of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties or for working capital. We may also borrow funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. Furthermore, we may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure over the long term. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short term basis as we execute our business strategy.
35


High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount available for distributions to our stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of the Company. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties will be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we will recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds related thereto. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to our affiliated entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an affiliated entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by our affiliated entity. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default by us on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default by us, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
The elimination of LIBOR may adversely affect interest expense related to our indebtedness.  
Current borrowings under our unsecured term loans, which are hedged, and our unsecured revolving credit facility is based on LIBOR.  On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), a regulator of financial services firms and financial markets in the United Kingdom, formally announced the cessation of LIBOR as of June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participant convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the New York Federal Reserve, has recommended Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a more robust reference rate alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Concurrent with the FCA’s announcement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) determined that the announcement constituted an index cessation event and consequently the fallback spread adjustments were fixed and published, with the spread adjustment between U.S. dollar 1-Month LIBOR and SOFR at 0.11%. If we intend to hedge our LIBOR denominated debt, we cannot predict whether hedging opportunities will exist on acceptable terms.
Covenants in the instruments governing our existing indebtedness limit our operational flexibility and a covenant breach could adversely affect our operations.
The terms of the instruments governing our existing indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants. These provisions include, among other things: a limitation on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; limitations on mergers; investments; acquisitions; redemptions of capital stock; transactions with affiliates; and maintenance of specified financial ratios. Our continued ability to incur debt and operate our business is subject to compliance with these covenants, which limit our operational flexibility. Breaches of these covenants could result in defaults by us under applicable debt instruments, even if payment obligations are satisfied. Financial and other covenants that limit our operational flexibility, as well as defaults resulting from our breach of any of these covenants in our debt instruments, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and negatively impact the market price of our securities, including our common stock.
Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and, in the event that our current credit ratings deteriorate, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and it may be more difficult or expensive for us to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences for us under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.
36


Risks Related to Joint Ventures
The terms of joint venture agreements or other joint ownership arrangements into which we have entered and may enter could impair our cash flow, our operating flexibility and our results of operations.
In connection with the purchase of real estate, we have entered and may continue to enter into joint ventures with third parties. We may also purchase or develop properties in co-ownership arrangements with the sellers of the properties, developers or other persons. Our joint venture partners may also have rights to take actions over which we have no control and may take actions contrary to our interests. Joint ownership of an investment in real estate may involve risks not associated with direct ownership of real estate, including the following:
a venture partner may at any time have economic or other business interests or goals which are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale of properties held in a joint venture or the timing of the termination and liquidation of the venture;
a venture partner might become bankrupt and such proceedings could have an adverse impact on the operation of the partnership or joint venture;
a venture partner’s actions might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated; and
a venture partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests, or contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT.
Under certain joint venture arrangements, neither venture partner may have the power to control the venture and, thus, an impasse could occur, which might adversely affect the joint venture and decrease potential returns to our stockholders. If we have a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy-out a venture partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out or we may be forced to exercise those rights at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If our interest is subject to a buy/sell right in favor of us, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow us to purchase an interest of a venture partner subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell our interest when we would otherwise prefer to retain our interest. In addition, we may not be able to sell our interest in a joint venture on a timely basis or on acceptable terms if we desire to exit the venture for any reason, particularly if our interest is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of our venture partner.
Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes would subject us to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, which would substantially reduce our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2007 and we believe that our current and intended manner of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements to be taxed as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet various requirements set forth in the Code concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amount of our distributions to our stockholders. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in operating so as to qualify as a REIT. At any time, new laws, interpretations or court decisions may change the federal tax laws relating to, or the federal income tax consequences of, qualification as a REIT. It is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT election, which it may do without stockholder approval.

35



If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. We could also be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and increased state and local taxes. Losing our qualification as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders due to the additional tax liability and we would no longer be required to make distributions. To the extent that distributions had been made in anticipation of our qualifying as a REIT, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable corporate income tax. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we lose our qualification as a REIT.
As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would substantially reduce our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
37


To continue to qualify as a REIT and to avoid the payment of U.S. federal income and excise taxes, we may be forced to borrow funds, use proceeds from the issuance of securities or sell assets to pay distributions, which may result in our distributing amounts that may otherwise be used for our operations or cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities.
To obtain the favorable tax treatment accorded to REITs, we normally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of: (a) 85% of our ordinary income; (b) 95% of our capital gain net income; and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. These requirements could cause us to make distributions to our stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution, or we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These requirements could additionally cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on acquisitions of properties and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, use proceeds from the issuance of securities or sell assets in order to distribute enough of our taxable income to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of federal income and excise taxes. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
To preserve our qualification as a REIT, our charter contains ownership limits with respect to our capital stock that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of HTA or other transaction that may be benefit our stockholders.
To assist us in preserving our qualification as a REIT, among other purposes, our charter contains a limitation on ownership that prohibits any individual, entity or group, unless exempted prospectively or retroactively by our Board of Directors, from directly acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 9.8% of the value of HTA’s then outstanding capital stock (which includes common stock and any preferred stock HTA may issue) or more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of HTA’s then outstanding common stock.
Any attempted transfer of HTA’s stock which, if effective, would result in HTA’s stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void. Any attempted transfer of HTA’s stock which, if effective, would result in violation of the ownership limits discussed above or in HTA being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, will cause the number of shares causing the violation (rounded up to the nearest whole share) to be automatically transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries and the proposed transferee will not acquire any rights in the shares.
Recent tax legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect stockholders unitholders, or the Company, which may have an adverse impact to the value of the Company and could also impede our ability to source new capital.
On December 20, 2017, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the TCJA which makes major changes to the Code, including a number of provisions of the Code that affect the taxation of REITs and their stockholders. Changes to the TCJA, with or without retroactive application, could materially and adversely affect our stockholders, OP Unit holders and/or us. The individual and collective impact of these provisions and other provisions of the TCJA on REITs and their stockholders is uncertain, and may not become evident for some period of time.
If tax rates were to change in a manner comparably favorable for regular corporate taxable income and dividends to that of REITs, investors could perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investment in dividend paying non-REIT corporations, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock. Stockholders and potential investors should consult their tax advisors regarding their respective tax considerations and rates.

36



Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which may make it difficult for you to sell our common stock when you want to do so, or at prices you find attractive.
The price of our common stock on the NYSE constantly changes and has been subject to significant price fluctuations. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate.fluctuate significantly. Our stock price can fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors may include:
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our earnings estimates or publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry, although no assurance can be given that any research reports about us will be published;
future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by our existing or future stockholders;
increases in market interest rates, which may lead purchasers of our stock to demand a higher yield;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
additions or departures of key personnel;
actions by institutional stockholders;
speculation in the press or investment community; and
general market and economic conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general may experience extreme volatility that may be unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
38


Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our common stock, or equity securities, which would dilute our existing stockholders and may be senior to our common stock, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities, including medium term notes, senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred or common stock. Debt securities or shares of preferred stock will generally be entitled to receive distributions,dividends, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common stock. Our Board of Directors may issue such securities without stockholder approval and under Maryland law may amend our charter to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of authorized shares of capital stock of any class or series without stockholder approval. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing holders of our common stockstockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, offerings by us of our common stock or other equity securities may dilute the percentage ownership interest of our existing stockholders. To the extent we issue additional equity interests, our stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. Depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our real properties and other real estate related assets, our stockholders may also experience dilution in both the book value and fair market value of their shares. As a result, future offerings of our debt or equity securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market price of our common stock and/or the distributionsdividends that we pay with respect to our common stock.
The availability and timing of cash distributionsOur dividends to our stockholders is uncertain,may change, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and may include a return of capital.stock.
Our organizational documents do not establish a limitAll dividends on the amount of net proceeds we may use to fund distributions. All distributions, however,our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our actual and projected financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and FFO,funds from operations, maintenance of our REIT qualification, applicable law and such other matters as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure our stockholders that sufficient cash willmay not be availableable to make distributionsdividends in the future or thatmay need to fund such dividends from external sources, as to which no assurances can be given. In addition, we may choose to retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves or other purposes, and these retained funds, although increasing the amountvalue of distributions willour underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase over time.the market price of our common stock. Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future cash distributionsdividends likely would adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

37



Increases in market interest rates and related risks may cause the value of our investments in real estate related assets to be reduced and could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock.
One of the factors that may influence the price of our common stock will be the dividend distribution rate on our common stock (as a percentage of the price of our common stock) relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates rise, prospective purchasers of common stock may expect a higher dividend distribution rate. Higher interest rates would not, however, result in more funds being available for distribution. Individends and, in fact, if market interest rates rise, the market value of our fixed income securities would likely decline,increase our borrowing costs would likely increase and might decrease our funds available for distribution would likely decrease. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and reduce the value of the security. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, which may force us to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Preferred and debt securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem an obligation if the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. These risks may reduce the value of our investments in real estate related assets. Therefore, wedividends. We therefore may not be able, or we may not choose, to provide a higher dividend distribution rate. As a result, prospective purchasers may decide to purchase other securities rather than our common stock, which would reduce the demand for, and result in a decline in the market price of, our common stock.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our common stock or the healthcare-related real estate sector, the price of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part upon the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We have no control over these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrades our stock or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, the price of our common stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our Company, we could lose attention in the market, which in turn could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Risks Related to Forward Sale Agreements
Settlement provisions contained in a forward sale agreement could result in substantial dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity or result in substantial cash payment obligations.
If we enter into one or more forward sale agreements, the relevant forward purchaser will have the right to accelerate that particular forward sale agreement (with respect to all or any portion of the transaction under that particular forward sale agreement that the relevant forward purchaser determines is affected by such event) and require us to settle on a date specified by the relevant forward purchaser if:
the relevant forward purchaser is unable to, or would incur a materially increased cost to, establish, maintain or unwind its hedge position with respect to that particular forward sale agreement;
the relevant forward purchaser determines that it is unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to continue to borrow an amount of common stock equal to the amount of common stock underlying that particular forward sale agreement or that, with respect to borrowing such amount of common stock, it would incur a cost that is greater than the initial stock borrow cost specified in that particular forward sale agreement, subject to a prior notice requirement;
39


a termination event occurs as a result of us declaring a dividend or distribution on our common stock with a cash value in excess of a specified amount per calendar quarter, or with an ex-dividend date prior to the anticipated ex-dividend date for such cash dividend;
an extraordinary event (as such term is defined in that particular forward sale agreement and which includes certain mergers and tender offers and the delisting of our common stock) occurs or our Board of Directors votes to approve or there is a public announcement of, in either case, any action that, if consummated, would constitute such an extraordinary event; or
certain other events of default, termination events or other specified events occur, including, among other things, any material misrepresentation made by us in connection with entering into that particular forward sale agreement, or a nationalization, a bankruptcy termination event or a change in law (as such terms are defined in that particular forward sale agreement).
A forward purchaser’s decision to exercise its right to accelerate the settlement of a particular forward sale agreement will be made irrespective of our need for capital. In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver common stock under the physical settlement provisions of that particular forward sale agreement or, if we so elect and the forward purchaser so permits our election, net share settlement provisions of that particular forward sale agreement irrespective of our capital needs, which would result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity.
We expect that settlement of any forward sale agreement will generally occur no later than the date specified in the particular forward sale agreement, which will be no later than twelve months following the trade date of that forward sale agreement. However, any forward sale agreement may be settled earlier than that specified date in whole or in part at our option. We expect that each forward sale agreement will be physically settled by delivery of our common stock unless we elect to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement. Upon physical settlement or, if we so elect, net share settlement of a particular forward sale agreement, delivery of shares of our common stock in connection with such physical settlement or, to the extent we are obligated to deliver common stock, net share settlement, will result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity. If we elect cash settlement or net share settlement with respect to all or a portion of our common stock underlying a particular forward sale agreement, we expect that the relevant forward purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) will purchase a number of common stock necessary to satisfy its or its affiliate’s obligation to return the common stock borrowed from third parties in connection with sales of common stock under that forward sale agreement, adjusted in the case of net share settlement by any shares deliverable by or to us under the forward sale agreement. In addition, the purchase of common stock in connection with the relevant forward purchaser or its affiliate unwinding its hedge positions could cause the price of our common stock to increase over such time (or prevent a decrease over such time), thereby increasing the amount of cash we would owe to the relevant forward purchaser (or decreasing the amount of cash that the relevant forward purchaser would owe us) upon a cash settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement or increasing the number of common stock we would deliver to the relevant forward purchaser (or decreasing the number of common stock that the relevant forward purchaser would deliver to us) upon net share settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement.
The forward sale price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of a particular forward sale agreement will be subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread and will be decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the particular forward sale agreement. If the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price. If the market value of our common stock, determined in accordance with the terms of the relevant forward sale agreement, during the relevant valuation period under the particular forward sale agreement is above the applicable forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would pay the relevant forward purchaser under that particular forward sale agreement an amount in cash equal to the difference or, in the case of net share settlement, we would deliver to the relevant forward purchaser a number of common stock having a value, determined in accordance with the terms of the relevant forward sale agreement, equal to the difference. Thus, we could be responsible for a potentially substantial cash payment in the case of cash settlement of a particular forward sale agreement. If the market value of our common stock, determined in accordance with the terms of the relevant forward sale agreement, during the relevant valuation period under that particular forward sale agreement is below the applicable forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would be paid the difference in cash by the relevant forward purchaser under that particular forward sale agreement or, in the case of net share settlement, we would receive from the relevant forward purchaser a number of common stock having a value equal to the difference.
40


The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the cash that we might receive from cash settlement of a forward sale agreement is unclear and could jeopardize our ability to meet the REIT qualification requirements.
In the event that we elect to settle any forward sale agreement for cash and the settlement price is below the applicable forward sale price, we would be entitled to receive a cash payment from the relevant forward purchaser. Under Section 1032 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally, no gains and losses are recognized by a corporation in dealing in its own shares, including pursuant to a “securities futures contract,” as defined in the Code by reference to the Exchange Act. Although we believe that any amount received by us in exchange for our common stock would qualify for the exemption under Section 1032 of the Code, because it is not entirely clear whether a forward sale agreement qualifies as a “securities futures contract,” the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any cash settlement payment we receive is uncertain. In the event that we recognize a significant gain from the cash settlement of a forward sale agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code. In that case, we may be able to rely upon the relief provisions under the Code in order to avoid the loss of our REIT status. Even if the relief provisions apply, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of (i) the excess of 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such income attributable to sources that qualify under the 75% test or (ii) the excess of 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such gross income attributable to sources that qualify under the 95% test as multiplied in either case by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability. In the event that these relief provisions were not available, we could lose our REIT status under the Code.
In case of our bankruptcy or insolvency, any forward sale agreements will automatically terminate, and we would not receive the expected proceeds from any forward sales of our common stock.
If we file for or consent to a proceeding seeking a judgment in bankruptcy or insolvency or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or we or a regulatory authority with jurisdiction over us presents a petition for our winding-up or liquidation, and we consent to such a petition, any forward sale agreements that are then in effect will automatically terminate. If any such forward sale agreement so terminates under these circumstances, we would not be obligated to deliver to the relevant forward purchaser any of our common stock not previously delivered, and the relevant forward purchaser would be discharged from its obligation to pay the applicable forward sale price per share in respect of any of our common stock not previously settled under the applicable forward sale agreement. Therefore, to the extent that there are any of our common stock with respect to which any forward sale agreement has not been settled at the time of the commencement of any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, we would not receive the relevant forward sale price per share in respect of those common stock.
Risks Related to the Merger
The announcement and pendency of the Merger Agreement could have an adverse effect on our business.
On February 28, 2022, Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company OP”) of which the Company is the sole general partner, HR Acquisition 2, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (“HR”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into HR, with HR surviving the merger (the “Merger”).
The announcement and pendency of the Merger could cause disruption in our business, including the potential loss or disruption of commercial relationships prior to the completion of the Merger. For example, some of our tenants, prospective tenants or vendors may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. Similarly, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the Merger, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement generally requires us to use commercially reasonable efforts to operate our business in the ordinary course of business pending consummation of the Merger, but includes certain contractual restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completion of the Merger. Due to these operating restrictions, during the pendency of the Merger Agreement we may be unable to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
The Merger Agreement also contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger and that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of us from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal. In addition, matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) will require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which could divert their time and attention. We have also incurred, and will continue to incur, significant non-recurring costs in connection with the Merger that we may be unable to recover. Further, the Merger Agreement requires us to pay a substantial termination fee to HR in certain circumstances or if our stockholders do not approve the transaction.
41


The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions.
Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including: (1) approval by the Company’s stockholders of the issuance of Company Common Stock to HR’s stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and approval by HR’s stockholders of the Merger and the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (2) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (3) approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Company Common Stock to be issued in the Merger or reserved for issuance in connection therewith; (4) no injunction or law prohibiting the Merger; (5) accuracy of each party’s representations, subject in most cases to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications; (6) material compliance with each party’s covenants; (7) receipt by each of HR and us of an opinion to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and (8) receipt by each of HR and us of an opinion that the other party qualifies as a REIT under the Code.
We cannot provide assurance that these conditions to completing the Merger will be satisfied or waived, and accordingly, that our pending Merger with HR will be completed on the timeline that we anticipate or at all. Failure to complete the Merger could negatively affect our stock price and our future business and financial results.
An adverse outcome in any litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the Merger Agreement could have a material adverse impact on our business and our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Transactions like the Merger are frequently the subject of litigation or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that either our board of directors breached their respective duties to their stockholders by entering into the Merger Agreement, by failing to obtain a greater value in the transaction for their stockholders or otherwise. We believe that any such litigation or proceedings would be without merit, but there can be no assurance that they will not be brought. If litigation or other legal proceedings are brought against us or against our board in connection with the Merger Agreement, we will defend against it, but we might not be successful in doing so. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs and efforts of a defense even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or financial position, including through the possible diversion of either company’s resources or distraction of key personnel.
The exchange ratio will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the stock prices of either us or HR.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of HR Common Stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive one share of Company Common Stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. The exchange ratio of 1.0 will not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of either shares of our Common Stock or shares of HR Common Stock. Changes in the market price of shares of HR Common Stock prior to the effective time of the Merger will affect the market value of the merger consideration that HR’s stockholders will receive on the closing date of the Merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond our or HR’s control), including the following factors:
market reaction to the announcement of the Merger and the prospects of the combined company;
changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of us and HR;
changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of either company or the combined company;
market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed;
interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of our Common Stock and HR Common Stock;
federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which we and HR operate; and
other factors beyond the control of us and HR, including those described or referred to in this “Risk Factors” section.
The market price of shares of HR Common Stock at the closing of the Merger may vary from its price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, on the date of the proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of our special meeting. As a result, the market value of the merger consideration represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.
If the market price of shares of Company Common Stock increases between the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or the date of our special meeting and the closing of the Merger, HR’s stockholders could receive shares of Company Common Stock that have a market value upon completion of the Merger that is greater than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or on the date of the special meeting, respectively. Alternatively, if the market price of shares of Company Common Stock declines between the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy
42


statement/prospectus or the date of our special meeting and the closing of the Merger, HR’s stockholders could receive shares of Company Common Stock that have a market value upon completion of the Merger that is less than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or on the date of the special meeting, respectively.
Therefore, while the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued per share of our Common Stock is fixed, HR’s stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the merger consideration they will receive upon completion of the Merger.
However, subject to the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated therein, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the last business day prior to the closing date of the Merger will receive a special distribution in the amount of $4.82 in cash per share of Company Common Stock held on such date (the “Special Distribution Payment”), regardless of the fluctuation in the market prices of shares of HR Common Stock and Company Common Stock.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and estimates regarding future MOB market performance. Additionally, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially and in adverse ways from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of such terms as “expect,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “opinion,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Annual Report is filed with the SEC. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Forward-looking statements regarding HR and HTA, include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Proposed Transaction, including the anticipated timing, benefits and financial and operational impact thereof; HR’s expected financing for the transaction; other statements of management’s belief, intentions or goals; and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on each of the companies’ current plans, objectives, estimates, expectations and intentions and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: HR’s and HTA’s ability to complete the Proposed Transaction on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to securing the necessary shareholder approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the Proposed Transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive transaction agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction; risks related to diverting the attention of HR and HTA management from ongoing business operations; failure to realize the expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction; significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the Proposed Transaction, including resulting

expense or delay; the risk that HTA’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the ability to obtain the expected financing to consummate the Proposed Transaction; risks related to future opportunities and plans for the Company, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the Company following completion of the Proposed Transaction; effects relating to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction or any further announcements or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction on the market price of HR’s or HTA’s common stock; the possibility that, if HR does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Proposed Transaction as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors, the market price of HR’s common stock could decline; general adverse economic and local real estate conditions; the inability of significant tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business; increases in interest rates; increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes; changes in the dividend policy for HR’s common stock or its ability to pay dividends; impairment charges; pandemics or other health crises, such as COVID-19; and other risks and uncertainties affecting HR and HTA, including those described from time to time under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in HR’s and HTA’s SEC filings and reports, including HR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, HTA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and other filings and reports by either company. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which HR or HTA are not currently aware may also affect each of the companies’ forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. The forward-looking statements made in this communication are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements, even if they are subsequently made available by HR or HTA on their respective websites or otherwise. Neither HR nor HTA undertakes any obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were made, except as required by law.
Any such forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide dividends to stockholders and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Factors that might impair our ability to meet such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors are included herein and other filings with the SEC.

45



Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to these inherent uncertainties, our stockholders are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to projections over time, except as required by law.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Executive Summary
HTA isWe are the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on MOBs in the U.S. as measured by the GLA of itsour MOBs. HTA conductsWe conduct substantially all of itsour operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery and MOBs that are primarily located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in core community outpatient locations. We also focus on our key markets that have certain demographic and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional full-service property management, leasing and development servicesoperating platform to generate strong tenant and health system relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing, building services and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions and developments of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage.  Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and could enhance our existing portfolio.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed the development of three new on-campus MOBs located in the key markets of Miami, Florida; Bakersfield, California; and Dallas, Texas. Total construction costs on these developments were approximately $110 million and totaled approximately 245,000 square feet of GLA and are currently 78% leased. Our development pipeline consists of five projects in the pre-leasing process, totaling over 850,000 square feet of GLA. These projects are located in Houston, Orlando and Raleigh and are highlighted by HTA's previously announced strategic partnership with Medistar Corporation to co-develop the Texas A&M Innovation Plaza - Horizon Tower located in Houston, Texas, a 485,000 square foot medical office and life sciences tower with anticipated costs of $215 million expected to commence construction in 2022.
Internal Growth through Proactive In-House Property Management and Leasing
We believe we have the largest full-service operating platform in the medical office spacesector that consists of our in-house property management and leasing functions which allows us to better manage and service our existing portfolio. In each of these markets, we have established a strong in-house propertyasset management and leasing platform that has allowed us to develop valuable relationships with health systems, physician practices, universities, and regional development firms that have led to investment and leasing opportunities. Our full-service operational platforms haveoperating platform has also enabled us to focus on generating cost efficiencies as we gain scale across individual markets and regions.
As of December 31, 2017,2021, our in-house propertyasset management and leasing platform operated approximately 22.425.1 million square feet of GLA, or 93%,96% of our total portfolio, a significant increase from 8.8 million square feet, or 70%, of GLA managed in-house in 2012.
As of December 31, 2017,2021, our leased rate (includes(which includes leases which have been executed, but which have not yet commenced) was 91.8%89.3% by GLA, and our occupancy rate was 91.0%87.5% by GLA.

Critical Accounting Policies
53


Table of Contents
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting principles, including making estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical as they may require more complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. For further information on significant accounting policies that impact us, see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies toin the accompanying consolidated financial statements.statements in Part IV, Item 15.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint venture entities in which we own a majority interest with the ability control operations. We consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when we are the primary beneficiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We make judgments with respect to our level of influence or control and whether we are (or are not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors includes,include, but isare not limited to, our ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, our form or ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of our investment, our ability and rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, replace the manager and/or liquidate the entity, if applicable. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity when determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE affects the presentation of these entities in our consolidated financial statements. If we perform a primary beneficiary analysis at a date other than at inception of the VIE, our assumptions may be different and may result in the identification of a different primary beneficiary.

48



Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is our primary source of revenue. At the inception of a new lease we assess the terms and conditions to determine proper classification. If the estimates utilized by us in our assessment were different, then our lease classification for accounting purposes may have been different, which could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. We recognize rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Tenant reimbursement revenue, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the revenue recognition process will beis based on a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For more detailed information on Topic 606, see “Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.statements in Part IV, Item 15.
Allowance for Uncollectible AccountsLeases
Tenant receivables, including straight-line rent receivables, are carried netIn February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, codified as ASC 842 - Leases (Topic 842). This new standard superseded ASC Topic 840 and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the allowancesentity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.
As a lessor, we lease space in our MOBs primarily to medical enterprises. The assets underlying these leases consist of buildings and associated land which are included as real estate investments on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All of our leases for uncollectible amounts. An allowance is maintainedwhich we are the lessor are classified as operating leases under Topic 842.
Leases, for estimated losses resulting fromwhich we are the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under theirlessee, are classified as separate components on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets - operating leases, net, with a corresponding lease liability - operating leases. Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances requires judgmentFinancing leases are included in receivables and is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition,other assets, net with a corresponding lease liability in security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees, current economic conditionsprepaid rent and other relevant factors. Our estimates may differ from actual results, which could significantly impactliabilities. A lease liability is recognized for our obligation related to the lease and an ROU asset represents our right to use the underlying asset over the lease term.

Investments in Real Estate
With the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in January 2017, we expect the majority of our future investments in real estate investments will behave been accounted for as asset acquisitions and towe record the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets primarily consist of land and buildings and improvements. Additionally, the purchase price includes acquisition related expenses, above or below market leases, above or below market leasehold interests, in place leases, tenant relationships, above or below market debt assumed, interest rate swaps assumed and any contingent consideration recorded when the contingency is resolved. The determination of the fair value requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions.
The fair value of the land and buildings and improvements is based upon our determination of the value of the property as if it were to be replaced or as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by market participants. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
The value of in place leases is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The factors considered include estimated lease-up periods, market rent and other market conditions.
We analyze the acquired leases to determine whether the rental rates are above or below market. The value associated with above or below market leases is based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be received using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease.
We analyze the acquired leasehold interests to determine whether the rental rates are above or below market. The value associated with above or below market leasehold interests is based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease.
We record debt or interest rate swaps assumed at fair value. The amount of above or below market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage. The value of interest rate swaps is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows, taking into account interest rate curves and the period to maturity.

49



We are required to make certain estimates in order to determine the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business investment. Our assumptions directly impact our results of operations, as amounts allocated to certain assets and liabilities have different depreciation and amortization lives. In addition, the amortization and depreciation of these assets and liabilities are recorded in different line items in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Recoverability of Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are evaluated for potential impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that itstheir carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the sum of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset over the remaining expected holding period. We would recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount is not recoverable to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. The fair value is generally based on discounted cash flow analyses. In performing the analysis we utilize a variety of methodologies, including undiscounted cash flow models for certain properties that meet quantitative and/or qualitative thresholds. Our methodology contemplates in-place cash flows from existing tenants, with certain assumptions for future anticipated occupancy levels, lease-up and absorption periods after known or estimated vacating tenants, inflationary adjustments for rents and operating expenses, market lease assumptions based on in-place rents and comparative properties' rates, ordinary tenant concessions, such as free rent, and planned tenant improvement and maintenance or other capital expenditures, as well as other initial direct costs, such as leasing commissions paid to third-parties. We also utilize capitalization rates to arrive at a final value of our property, less estimated selling costs. Further, we also will consider executed sales agreements or management’s best estimate of market comparables future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements.in arriving at our total undiscounted cash flows.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations
The economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for new strains of SARS-CoV-2 or entirely new types of viruses and/or global propagation of communicable disease continue to present risks to the Company and the future results of our operations. Should current and planned measures, including further development and delivery of vaccines and other measures intended to reduce or eliminate the spread of COVID-19, past and/or proposed economic stimulus, and other laws, acts and orders proposed or enacted by federal, state and local agencies or foreign governments, ultimately not be successful or limited in their efficacy, our business and the broader real estate industry may experience significant adverse consequences. These consequences include loss of revenues, increased expenses, difficulty in maintaining an active workforce, and constraints on our ability to secure capital or financing, among other factors. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors for a comprehensive summary of these and other risks associated with pandemics and other health concerns.
We are not aware of any other material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and the risk factors previously listed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the investment, management and operation of our properties.
Rental Income
The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that will become available from tenant vacancies or unscheduled lease terminations at the then applicable rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.
Investment Activity
During the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, we had investments with an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 billion, $700.8$308.8 million, $191.7 million and $280.9$560.5 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, we had dispositions with an aggregate gross sales price of $85.2$90.0 million, $39.5$24.3 million and $35.7$4.9 million, respectively. The amount of any future acquisitions or dispositions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in future periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We compute FFO in accordance with the current standards established by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO is defined as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to investments in real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Additionally, with respect to gains and losses on the sale of assets incidental to the main business of a REIT, the REIT has the option to include or exclude such gains and losses in the calculation of FFO. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders.
We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction expenses; (ii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) non-controlling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company); and (iv) other normalizing adjustments, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. Our methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs.
59


We present this non-GAAP financial measureFFO and Normalized FFO because we consider it anthem important supplemental measuremeasures of our operating performance and believe it isthey are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen based on market conditions, many industry investors have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, among other items, it provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders.
We also compute Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO: (i) transaction expenses; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments; (iii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) noncontrolling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company); and (v) other normalizing items, which include items that are unusual and infrequent in nature. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because it allows for the comparison of our operating performance to other REITs and between periods on a consistent basis. Our methodology for calculating Normalized FFO may be different from the methods utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternativealternatives to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicatorindicators of our financial performance, nor is itare they indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO and Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
TheIn addition, the amounts included in the calculation of FFO and Normalized FFO are generally the same for HTALP and HTA, except for net income or loss attributable to common stockholders/unitholders, noncontrollingnon-controlling income or loss from OP Units included in diluted shares (only applicable to the Company) and the weighted average shares of our common stock or HTALP OP Units outstanding.

NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) transaction expenses; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) impairment; (v) interest expense and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments;expense; (vi) gain or loss on sales of real estate;estate and corporate assets; (vii) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) income or loss from unconsolidated joint venture; and (ix) other income or expense. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the management of our properties. Additionally, we believe that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI: (i) straight-line rent adjustments; and (ii) amortization of below and above market leases/leasehold interests.interests and other GAAP adjustments; (iii) notes receivable interest income; and (iv) other normalizing adjustments. Contractual base rent, contractual rent increases, contractual rent concessions and changes in occupancy or lease rates upon commencement and expiration of leases are a primary driver of our revenue performance. We believe that Cash NOI, which removes the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, provides another measurement of the operating performance of our operating assets. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance of REITs. However, our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

To facilitate the comparison of Cash NOI between periods, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our owned and operational properties referred to as “Same-Property”. Same-Property Cash NOI excludes (i) properties which have not been owned and operated by us during the entire span of all periods presented excludingand disposed properties, (ii) our share of unconsolidated joint ventures, (iii) development, redevelopment and land parcels, (iv) properties intended for disposition in the near term developmentwhich have (a) been approved by the Board of Directors, (b) is actively marketed for sale, and land parcels, our share of unconsolidated joint ventures, notes receivable interest income(c) an offer has been received at prices we would transact and the sales process is ongoing, and (v) certain non-routine items. Same-Property Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Same-Property Cash NOI should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of cash include: (i) cash flow from operations; (ii) borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility; (iii) net proceeds from the issuances of debt and equity securities; and (iv) proceeds from our dispositions. During the next 12 months our primary uses of cash are expected to include: (a) the funding of acquisitions of MOBs, development properties and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry; (b) capital expenditures; (c) the payment of operating expenses; (d) debt service payments, including principal payments; and (e) the payment of dividends to our stockholders. We anticipate cash flow from operations, restricted cash and reserve accounts and our unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends to stockholders. Investments and maturing indebtedness may require funds from the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or proceeds from sales of real estate.
As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had liquidity of $1.2$1.1 billion, including $991.2 million$1.0 billion available under our unsecured revolving credit facility (which includes the impact of $8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit), $100.4and $52.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and a $75.0 million forward commitment.equivalents.
In addition, we had unencumbered assets with a gross book value of $6.2$7.9 billion. The unencumbered properties may be used as collateral to secure additional financings in future periods or refinance our current debt as it becomes due. Our ability to raise funds from future debt and equity issuances is dependent on our investment grade credit ratings, general economic and market conditions and our operating performance.
62


When we acquire a property, we prepare a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we estimate that our expenditures for capital improvements including lease commissions for 20182022 will range from $35.0$115 million to $45.0$135 million depending on leasing activity. AsIn addition, we have approximately $110 million inclusive of December 31, 2017,costs to complete on active development projects and incremental tenant improvements as part of our recently completed development projects. Although we had $3.1 million of restricted cash and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. We cannot provide assurance however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure levels.levels, our liquidity of $1.1 billion allows us the flexibility to fund such capital expenditures.
If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, or increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Our estimate of net cash available is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of our leasing activity and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs.

Dividends
The amount of dividends we pay to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual dividend distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We have paid monthly or quarterly dividends since February 2007, and if our investments produce sufficient cash flow, we expect to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders. Because our cash available for dividend distributions in any year may be less than 90% of our taxable income for the year, we may obtain the necessary funds through borrowings, issuing new securities or selling assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy our dividend distribution requirement. Our organizational documents do not establish a limit on dividends that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The dividend we pay to our stockholders is equal to the distributions received from HTALP in accordance with the terms of HTALP’sthe HTALP partnership agreement. It is our intention to continue to pay dividends. However, our Board of Directors may reduce our dividend rate and we cannot guarantee the timing and amount of dividends that itwe may pay in the future, if any.
For the year ended December 31, 2017,2021, we paid cash dividends of $207.1$281.8 million on our own common stock. In January 2018,2022, we paid cash dividends on our own common stock of $62.5$74.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. On February 15, 2018, our Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.305 per share/unit of common stock to be paid on April 10, 2018 to stockholders of record of our common stock and OP unitholders on April 3, 2018.2021.
Financing
We have historically maintained a low leveraged balance sheet and intend to continue to maintain this structure in the long term. However, our total leverage may fluctuate on a short-term basis as we execute our business strategy. As of December 31, 2017,2021, our leverage ratio, measured by net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)equivalents to total capitalization, was 29.9%27.7%.
As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had debt outstanding of $2.8$3.0 billion and the weighted average interest rate therein was 3.50%2.87% per annum, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps.cash flow hedges. The following is a summary of our unsecured and secured debt. See Note 78 - Debt to ourin the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Part IV, Item 15 for a further discussion of our debt.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2017, $991.2 million2021, the full $1.0 billion was available on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. Our unsecured revolving credit facility matures in June 2022.October 2025.
Unsecured Term Loans
As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had $500.0 million of unsecured term loans outstanding, comprised of $300.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement maturing in 2023,2025, and $200.0 million alsounder our unsecured term loan maturing in 2023.2024.

Commitments and Contingencies
See Note 910 - Commitments and Contingencies to ourin the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Part IV, Item 15 for a further discussion of our commitments and contingencies.
Debt Service Requirements
We are required by the terms of our applicable loan agreements to meet certain financial covenants, such as minimum net worth and liquidity, and reporting requirements, among others. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we believe that we were in compliance with all such covenants and we are not aware of any covenants that it is reasonably likely that we would not be able to meet in accordance with our loan agreements.

Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that protect us from the impact of normal inflation. These provisions include rent escalations, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of our leases, among other factors, the leases may not reset frequently enough to cover inflation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe the primary market risk to which we have exposure is interest rate risk.
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes on our variable rate debt. Interest rate changes on our fixed rate debt will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. In order to mitigate our interest rate risk, we enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps. To the extent we enter into such derivative financial instruments, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. It is our policy to enter into these transactions with what we believe are high quality counterparties, including those with whom we have a lending relationship. We believe the likelihood of realized losses from counterparty non-performance is remote. We manage the market risk associated with interest rate swaps or caps by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
The table below presents, as of December 31, 2017,2021, information about HTA's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table presents principal amounts of our fixedcash flows and variable debt and therelated weighted average interest rates excluding the impact ofby expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by yearexpected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in effect as of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changesDecember 31, 2021 (in thousands, except interest rates):

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, comprehensive income, (loss)equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2021, and the related notes and the consolidated financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2018,March 1, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’sCompany's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sCompany's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Recoverability of Real Estate and Real Estate Related Assets - Refer to Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s real estate investments are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the sum of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset over the remaining expected holding period. The Company’s undiscounted future cash flows analysis and the assessment of expected remaining holding period requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future occupancy levels, rental rates, lease-up periods and capitalization rates.

Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the real estate assets identified for further analysis. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $22.9 million on its real estate investments.

Given the Company’s evaluation of the sum of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset over the remaining expected holding period when indicators of impairment are present requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future occupancy levels, rental rates, and capitalization rates, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s undiscounted future cash flows analysis and assessment of expected remaining holding period required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our

fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of real estate assets for possible indicators of impairment included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s analysis for impairment indicators, including the identification of impairment indicator properties and significant estimates and assumptions used by management in preparing undiscounted future cash flows analysis for properties with impairment indicators.
We audited management’s impairment indicator analysis by:
Evaluating management's process for identifying impairment indicators and whether management appropriately considered the examples of impairment indicators provided within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
Conducting independent market analysis to determine if there were additional indicators of impairment not identified by management.
Conducting inquiries of property management, leasing, asset management, and other departments outside of the accounting department to determine if there might be additional indicators of impairment not identified by management.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated management’s undiscounted cash flow analysis for various properties that exhibited indicators of impairment by:
Evaluating whether the valuation method used was in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
Evaluating the undiscounted future cash flows analysis, including estimates of future occupancy levels, rental rates, lease-up periods and capitalization rates, in addition to the assessment of expected remaining holding period for each real estate asset with possible impairment indicators by (1) evaluating the source information and assumptions used by management and (2) testing the mathematical accuracy of the undiscounted future cash flows analysis.
Investments in Real Estate - Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had acquired investments in real estate with an aggregate purchase price of $308.8 million. The Company accounted for these acquisitions as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, the purchase price for assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated, based on relative fair value, to land, buildings and improvements, in-place leases, above or below market leases, and other intangible assets. The method for determining relative fair value varied depending on the type of asset or liability and involved management making significant estimates related to assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, and costs during the expected lease-up periods.

Given the relative fair value determination of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make significant estimates related to assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, and costs during hypothetical lease-up periods, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for investments in real estate included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the purchase price allocation, including management’s controls over the review of purchase price allocations prepared by third party specialists.
For properties selected for further evaluation by our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology, (2) current market data, (3) cost to replace certain assets, and (4) assumptions used in the discounted cash flows, including testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing our estimates to those used by management.
We assessed the reasonableness of management’s projections of rental revenue by comparing the assumptions used in the projections to external market sources, in-place lease agreements, historical data, and results from other areas of the audit.

Evaluating the undiscounted future cash flows analysis, including estimates of future occupancy levels, rental rates, lease-up periods and capitalization rates, in addition to the assessment of expected remaining holding period for each real estate asset with possible impairment indicators by (1) evaluating the source information and assumptions used by management and (2) testing the mathematical accuracy of the undiscounted future cash flows analysis.

Critical Audit Matter Description
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had acquired investments in real estate with an aggregate purchase price of $308.8 million. The Company accounted for these acquisitions as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, the purchase price for assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated based on relative fair value, to land, buildings and improvements, in-place leases, above or below market leases, and other intangible assets. The method for determining relative fair value varied depending on the type of asset or liability and involved management making significant estimates related to assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, and costs during the expected lease-up periods.
Given the relative fair value determination of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make significant estimates related to assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, and costs during hypothetical lease-up periods, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for investments in real estate included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the purchase price allocation, including management’s controls over the review of purchase price allocations prepared by third party specialists.
For properties selected for further evaluation by our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology, (2) current market data, (3) cost to replace certain assets, and (4) assumptions used in the discounted cash flows, including testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing our estimates to those used by management.
We assessed the reasonableness of management’s projections of rental revenue by comparing the assumptions used in the projections to external market sources, in-place lease agreements, historical data, and results from other areas of the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise the use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, collectively.
1. Organization and Description of Business
HTA, a Maryland corporation, and HTALP, a Delaware limited partnership, were incorporated or formed, as applicable, on April 20, 2006.2006. HTA operates as a REIT and is the general partner of HTALP, which is the operating partnership. As of December 31, 2017, HTA owned a 98.1% partnership, interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining partnership interest (including the LTIP Units) in HTALP. As the sole general partner of HTALP, HTA has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for HTALP’s day-to-day management and control. HTA operates in an umbrella partnership, or “UPREIT” structure. HTA has qualified and intends to continue to be taxed as a REIT structurefor federal income tax purposes under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
We own real estate primarily consisting of MOBs located on or adjacent to hospital campuses or in which HTALPoff-campus, community core outpatient locations across 32 states within the U.S., and its subsidiaries holdwe lease space to tenants primarily consisting of health systems, research and academic institutions, and various sized physician practices.  We generate substantially all of our revenues from rents and rental-related activities, such as property and facilities management and other incidental revenues related to the assets. HTA’s only material asset is its ownershipoperation of partnership interests of HTALP. As a result, HTA does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of HTALP, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debts of HTALP. HTALP conducts the operations of the business and issues publicly-traded debt, but has no publicly-traded equity.real estate. 
HTA is the largest publicly-traded REIT focused on MOBs in the U.S. as measured by the GLA of our MOBs. HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. We invest in MOBs that we believe will serve the future of healthcare delivery, and MOBs that are primarily located on health system campuses, near university medical centers, or in core community outpatient locations. We also focus on our key markets that have certain demographic and macro-economic trends and where we can utilize our institutional full-service property management, leasing and development services platform to generate strong tenant and health system relationships and operating cost efficiencies. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments that provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we: (i) seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing, building services and property management oversight; (ii) target accretive acquisitions and developments of MOBs in markets with attractive demographics that complement our existing portfolio; and (iii) actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage. Additionally, from time to time we consider, on an opportunistic basis, significant portfolio acquisitions that we believe fit our core business and couldwe expect to enhance our existing portfolio. HTA has qualified
COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020 the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As the virus continued to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposesspread throughout the United States and intendsother countries across the world, Federal, state and local governments took various actions including the issuance of “stay-at-home” orders, social distancing guidelines and ordering the temporary closure of non-essential businesses to limit the spread of COVID-19. While many businesses have reopened and vaccinations are becoming more widely available to the general population, the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be taxed as a REIT.
Since 2006,present risks to the Company and the future results of our operations. Although we have invested $7.0 billion to create a portfoliodid not experience significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended December 31, 2021, should current and planned measures, including further development and delivery of MOBs, development projectsvaccines and other healthcare assets consistingmeasures intended to reduce or eliminate the spread of approximately 24.1 million square feetCOVID-19, past and/or proposed economic stimulus, and other laws, acts and orders proposed or enacted by these various governmental agencies ultimately not be successful or limited in their efficacy, our business and the broader real estate industry may experience significant adverse consequences. These consequences include loss of GLA throughout the U.S. Asrevenues, increased expenses, increased costs of December 31, 2017, 70% ofmaterials, difficulty in maintaining an active workforce, and constraints on our portfolio was located on the campuses of,ability to secure capital or adjacent to, nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 33 states, with no state having more than 19% of our total GLA as of December 31, 2017. We believe these key locations and affiliations create significant demand from healthcare related tenants for our properties. Further, our portfolio is primarily concentrated within major U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) that we believe will provide above-average economic growth and socioeconomic benefits over the coming years. As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 1 million square feet of GLA in each of our top ten markets and approximately 93% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located in the top 75 MSAs, with Dallas, Houston, Boston, Tampa and Atlanta being our largest markets by investment.financing, among other factors.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and any consolidated VIEs. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the HTALP operating partnership not owned by us are presented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of changes in partners’ capital. The portions of other joint venture arrangements not owned by us are presented as redeemable non-controlling interests in ouron the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business, certain third parties have been issued OP Units in HTALP. Holders of OP Units are considered to be noncontrollingnon-controlling interest holders in HTALP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity inon the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of HTALP are allocated to noncontrollingnon-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion

HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA, INC. AND HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA HOLDINGS, LP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, there were approximately 4.1 million, 4.33.5 million and 1.93.8 million, respectively, of OP Units issued and outstanding.
VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; and (iii) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We consolidate our investment in VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is one that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements are VIEs because the limited partners in those partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Additionally, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs. Accordingly, we consolidate our interests in the HTALP operating partnership and in our other joint venture arrangements. However, because we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs. We will evaluate on an ongoing basis the need to consolidate entities based on the standards set forth in GAAP as described above.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are made and evaluated on an ongoing basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassification
In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of year and end of year amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2017, and as a result of the adoption, the guidance requires retrospective adoption for all periods presented. The following table represents the previously reported balances and the reclassified balances for the impacted items of the December 31, 2016 and 2015 consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash is comprised of (i) reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements as well asimprovements; (ii) collateral accounts for debt and interest rate swapsswaps; and (iii) deposits for future investments.

Revenue Recognition
Minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between rental income recognized and amountamounts contractually due under the lease agreements are recorded as straight-line rent receivables. If we determine that collectability of future minimum lease payments is not probable, the straight-line rent receivable balance is written off and recognized as a decrease in revenue in that period. Tenant reimbursement revenue, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other certain operating expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, isare recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period in which the related recoverable expenses are incurred.  Tenant reimbursements are recordedWe accrue revenue corresponding to these expenses on a grossquarterly basis asto adjust recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed. Subsequent to year-end, on a calendar year basis, we are generallyperform reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any differences between the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goodsestimated expenses we billed and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier, and have credit risk.actual expenses that were incurred. We recognize lease termination fees when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Rental income is reported net of amortization of inducements.
Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and corresponding amendments, the revenue recognition process will beis now based on a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize

revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. As a REIT,We have identified all of our revenue streams and we have concluded that rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and, therefore, is primarily generated through leasing contracts, which arespecifically excluded from Topic 606.606 and will be governed under Topic 842 - Leases. The impact ofother revenue stream identified as impacting Topic 606 will beis concentrated in the recognition of our non-lease revenue streams. For more detailed information on Topic 606 see “Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below.

Tenant Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible amounts. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their leases. Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions and other relevant factors. As of December 31, 2017 and 2015, we had $2.2 million in allowances for uncollectible accounts. As of December 31, 2016, we had $2.0 million in allowances for uncollectible accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded bad debt expense of $0.4 million. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded bad debt expense of $0.8 millionreal estate sales.
Investments in Real Estate
With the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in January 2017 we expect theThe majority of our future investments in real estate investments will beare accounted for as asset acquisitions and to record the purchase price toof tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are recorded based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets primarily consist of land and buildings and improvements. Additionally, the purchase price includes acquisition related expenses, above or below market leases, above or below market leasehold interests, in place leases, tenant relationships, above or below market debt assumed, interest rate swaps assumed and any contingent consideration recorded when the contingency is resolved. The determination of the fair value requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions.
With the assistance of independent valuation specialists, we record the purchase price of completed investments in real estate associated with tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The tangible assets (land and building and improvements) are determined based upon the value of the property as if it were to be replaced or as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by market participants. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable completed acquisition property is inclusive of above or below market leases, above or below market leasehold interests, in place leases, tenant relationships, above or below market debt assumed, interest rate swaps assumed, any contingent consideration and acquisition related expenses.
The value of above or below market leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be received using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods.  TheUnder Topic 840, the amounts associated with above market leases are included in other intangibles, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining lease term.  The amounts allocated to below market leases are included in intangible liabilities, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining lease term. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the amounts associated with above market leases are included in right-of-use assets - operating leases, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining lease term.  The amounts allocated to below market leases are included in lease liabilities - operating leases in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining lease term.
The value associated with above or below market leasehold interests is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term; and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods. TheUnder Topic 840, the amounts recorded for above market leasehold interests are included in intangible liabilities, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental expense over the remaining lease term. The amounts allocated to below market leasehold interests are included in other intangibles, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental expense over the remaining lease term. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the amounts recorded for above market leasehold interests are included in lease liabilities - operating leases in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental expense over the remaining lease term. The amounts allocated to below market leasehold interests are included in right-of-use assets - operating leases, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental expense over the remaining lease term.
The total amount of other intangible assets includes in place leases and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by us in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The amounts recorded for in place leases and tenant relationships are included in lease intangibles in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to amortization expense over the remaining lease term.
The value recorded for above or below market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage. The amounts recorded for above or below market debt are included in debt in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the assumed debt.

The value recorded for interest rate swaps is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows, taking into account interest rate curves and the remaining term. See derivative financial instruments below for further discussion.

The cost of operating properties includes the cost of land and buildings and related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service life of properties are capitalized and the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of buildings is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the buildings up to 39 years and for tenant improvements, the shorter of the lease term or useful life, typically ranging from one month to 193 months.10 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment is depreciated over five5 years. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, was $172.6$246.3 million, $118.7$235.8 million and $101.2$219.2 million, respectively.
Leases
As a lessor, we lease space in our MOBs primarily to medical enterprises for terms ranging from three to seven years in length. The assets underlying these leases consist of buildings and associated land which are included as real estate investments on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All of our leases for which we are the lessor are classified as operating leases under Topic 842.
Leases, for which we are the lessee, are classified as separate components on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets - operating leases, net, with a corresponding lease liability. Financing lease assets are included in receivables and other assets, net, with a corresponding lease liability in security deposits, prepaid rent and other liabilities. A lease liability is recognized for our obligation related to the lease and an ROU asset represents our right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Refer to Note 7 - Leases in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for more detail relating to our leases.
Through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to our leases as a result of COVID-19 have been in two categories. Leases are categorized based upon the impact of the modification on its cash flows. One category is rent deferrals for which the guidance above was utilized, which provided relief from requiring a lease by lease analysis pursuant to Topic 842. These deferrals are generally for up to three months of rent with a payback period from three to twelve months once the deferral period has ended. Deferrals do not have an impact on cash flows over the lease term, rather, payments are made in different periods while the cash flows for the entirety of the lease term are the same. However, we have continued to recognize revenue and straight line revenue for amounts subject to deferral agreements in accordance with Topic 842. In 2020, which is the period that we believe constituted the majority of our COVID-19-related deferral request, we approved deferral plans totaling approximately $11.1 million, of which approximately $10.8 million have been repaid through December 31, 2021.
The second category is early renewals, where the Company renewed lease arrangements prior to their contractual expirations, providing concession at the commencement of the lease in exchange for additional term, on average approximately three years. This category is treated as a modification under Topic 842, with the existing balance of cumulative difference between rental income and payment amounts (existing straight line rent receivable) being recast over the new term, factoring in any changes attributable to the new lease arrangement and for which we performed a lease by lease analysis. Cash flows are impacted over the long term as customary free rent, at an average of three months in conjunction with these agreements, and is offset by substantively more term and/or increased rental rates. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has entered into minimal new deferral arrangements or early renewal leases with substantive amounts of free rent or other forms of concession at the onset of the lease.
The Lease Modification Q&A had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, however, its future impact to us is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by us at the time of entering into any such concessions.
Development
We capitalize interest, direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In addition, we capitalize costs, including real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, that have been allocated to vacant space based on the square footage of the portion of the building not held available for immediate occupancy during the extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to ready the vacant space for its intended use. If costs and activities incurred to ready the vacant space cease, then cost capitalization is also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. We cease capitalization of all project costs on extended lease-up periods when significant activities have ceased, which does not exceed the shorter of a one-year period after the completion of the building shell or when the property attains 90% occupancy.

Real Estate Held for Sale
We consider properties as held for sale once management commits to a plan to sell the property and has determined that the sale is probable and expected to occur within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, we record the property at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and cease depreciation and amortization. The fair value is generally based on discounted cash flow analyses, which involve management’s best estimate of market participants’ holding period, market comparables, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements. We did not classify any assetsAs of December 31, 2021, we classified a single-tenant MOB located in the greater Atlanta, Georgia market as real estate held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale forsale. The following table represents the years endedmajor classes of assets and liabilities, and the balance sheet classification as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.2021 (in thousands):

Recoverability of Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators are assessed separately for each property and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in real estate property net income, significant decreases in occupancy percentage, changes in management’s intent with respect to the properties and prevailing market conditions. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the sum of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset over the remaining expected holding period. We would recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount is not recoverable to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. The fair value is generally based on discounted cash flow analyses. In performing the analysisanalyses we consider executed sales agreements or management’s best estimate of market comparables, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements. For the yearsyear ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,2021, we recorded impairment charges of $13.9 million, $3.1 million$22.9 million. During each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and $2.6 million, respectively.2020, we recorded no impairment charges.
Real Estate Notes Receivable
We evaluateReal estate notes receivable consist of mezzanine and other real estate loans, which are generally collateralized by a pledge of the carrying valuesborrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner and/or corporate guarantees. Real estate notes receivable are intended to be held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and allowance for credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we originated 3 mezzanine loans with commitments totaling $60.1 million, at an annual interest rate of 8%, maturing in 2024. Unpaid interest is capitalized, with principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. As of December 31, 2021, mezzanine loans outstanding, including accrued interest totaled $54.8 million, net of unamortized loan fees. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we originated a mortgage loan of $15.0 million, at an annual interest rate of 10%, maturing in 2022. Interest on the mortgage loan was prefunded through an interest reserve and will be recognized as interest income through maturity, with principal and any unpaid interest due on the maturity date. As of December 31, 2021, real estate notes receivable, on an individual basis. Management periodically evaluatesnet totaled $69.1 million. During the realizabilityyear ended December 31, 2021, we recognized interest income of future cash flows from$2.8 million related to real estate notes receivable.

Pursuant to Topic 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, we adopted a policy to evaluate current expected credit losses at the non-receiptinception of principalloans qualifying for treatment under Topic 326. We utilize a probability of default method approach for estimating current expected credit losses and interest payments and/or significant deterioration of the financial condition of the borrower, indicatehave determined that the carrying amountcurrent risk of the real estate notes receivable may not be recoverable. An impairmentcredit loss is recognized in current period earnings and is calculatedremote. Accordingly, we have recorded no reserve for credit loss as the difference between the carrying amounts of the real estate notes receivable and the discounted cash flows expected to be received, or if foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral securing the real estate notes receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, there were no impairment losses.2021.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operational policy decisions of the investments. Using the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and any distributions from the joint venture. As of December 31, 2017,2021 and 2020, we had a 50% interest in one such investment with a carrying value and maximum exposure to risk of $68.6$62.8 million and $64.4 million, respectively, which is recorded in investment in unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of net income (loss) in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized income of $0.8 million. Our unconsolidated joint venture was acquired in 2017 and as such, there was no income (loss) or distributions for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

As of January 1, 2017,2021, 2020, and 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-15, as described below in “Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements”, which clarifies the guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice. As part of this adoption we have elected the cumulative earnings approach for the treatment and classification of our distributions receivedrecognized income from our unconsolidated joint venture. As such, these distributions received from our unconsolidated joint venture will be included as a component to net cash provided by operating activities in our accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.$1.6 million, $1.6 million, and $1.9 million, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes in the normal course of business. We seek to mitigate these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures which include the occasional use of derivatives. Our primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We utilize derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, to effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative financial instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with our related assertions.
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are included as a component of interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. ChangesAs a result of our adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2018, the entire change in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Since we solely use derivatives to hedge interest rate risk, amounts paid or received pursuant to our derivative agreements are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations which then flows through to operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-12, we no longer disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of derivativeour derivatives financial instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships related to the effective portion are included in other comprehensive gain (loss) in our accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), whereas changes in fair value related to the ineffective portion are included as a component of interest expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.hedges.
The valuation of our derivative financial instruments areis determined with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist using a proprietary model that utilizes widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and observable inputs. The proprietary model reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard

methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.
In addition, we formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions prior to or contemporaneous with entering into the derivative financial instrument. We also assess, at inception of the hedging relationship and on a quarterly basis, whether the derivative financial instruments are highly effective in offsetting the designated risks associated with the respective hedged items.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is a market-based measurement and is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

86


Table of Contents
HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA, INC. AND HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA HOLDINGS, LP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect our assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
We use fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value.
Receivables and Other Assets
Deferred financing costs include amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the unsecured revolving credit facility which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred leasing costs are amounts incurred in executing a lease, both for external broker and marketing costs, plus a portion of internal leasing related costs. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis method over the term of the applicable lease. Deferred leasing costs are included in operating activities in our accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
Share-Based Compensation
We calculate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant. Restricted common stock is valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE. We amortize the share-based compensation expense over the period that the awards are expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures. See Note 1011 - Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital for further discussion.
NoncontrollingNon-controlling Interests
HTA’s net income attributable to noncontrollingnon-controlling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations relate to both noncontrollingnon-controlling interest reflected within equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests reflected outside of equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.equity. OP Units, including LTIP awards, are accounted for as partners’ capital in HTALP’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets and as noncontrollingnon-controlling interest reflected within equity in HTA’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests relate to the interests in our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned by us. As these redeemable noncontrolling interests provide for redemption features not solely within our control, we classify such interests outside of permanent equity or partners’ capital. Accordingly, we record the carrying amount at the greater of the initial carrying amount (increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions) or the redemption value.
Income Taxes
HTA believes that it has qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the provisions of the Code, beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2007 and it intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. To continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, HTA must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to pay dividend distributions to its stockholders of at least 90% of its annual taxable income. As a REIT, HTA is generally not subject to federal income tax on net income that it distributes to its stockholders, but it may be subject to certain state or local taxes on its income and property.fees.

Table of Contents
HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA, INC. AND HEALTHCARE TRUST OF AMERICA HOLDINGS, LP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
If HTA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will then be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the IRS grants it relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and net cash available for dividend distributions to its stockholders.
As discussed in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business, HTA conducts substantially all of its operations through HTALP. As a partnership, HTALP generally is not liable for federal income taxes. The income and loss from the operations of HTALP is included in the tax returns of its partners, including HTA, who are responsible for reporting their allocable share of the partnership income and loss. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We do not have any liability for uncertain tax positions that we believe should be recognized in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. The tax basis exceeded the carrying amount of the net real estate assets reported in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet by approximately $404.1$766.9 million as of December 31, 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents at major financial institutions in the U.S. and deposits with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, we regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe we are not currently exposed to any significant default risk with respect to these deposits. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we had cash balances at financial institutions of $56.2$62.5 million in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.
Segment Disclosure
We have determined that we have one1 reportable segment, with activities related to investing in healthcare real estate assets. Our investments in healthcare real estate assets are geographically diversified and our chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level. As each of our assets has similar economic characteristics, long-term financial performance, tenants, and products and services, our assets have been aggregated into one1 reportable segment.
Related Party Aircraft Use
HTA owns an airplane that is used for business purposes. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is permitted to use the aircraft for personal travel and, pursuant to a policy adopted by HTA relating to such personal use, the Company is reimbursed by the executive for the incremental costs of using the aircraft for personal travel.

ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which amends the scope of ASU 2020-04. The amendments of ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions to Topic 848 for contract modification and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. For information related to the Company's current cash flow hedges, refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. The amendments are elective and effective immediately for contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating how the transition away from LIBOR will effect the Company and if the guidance with respect to this standard will be adopted, however, if adopted, we do not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, which amends the lease classification requirements for lessors when classifying and accounting for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate. The update provides criteria, that if met, the lease would be classified and accounted for as an operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. At this time, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements:material impact on our financial statements.

Business Combinations:
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(Issued January 2017)
ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation.ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.We adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. We expect that the majority of our future investments in real estate will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 will impact how we account for acquisition-related expenses and contingent consideration, which may result in lower acquisition-related expenses and eliminate fair value adjustments related to future contingent consideration arrangements.
ASU 2016-15
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
(Issued August 2016)
ASU 2016-15 clarifies the guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
We adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2017 and applied the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. Based on our final assessment we have determined that the presentation of debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and distributions from equity method investments are directly applicable to us. Debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs are currently classified as a component to net cash used by financing activities in our accompanying statements of cash flows and will continue to be recorded as such. As part of the adoption, we have elected the cumulative earnings approach for the treatment and classification of distributions received from unconsolidated joint venture. These distributions will be reported as a component to net cash provided by operating activities in our accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. There will be no reclassifications or material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption.
ASU 2016-18
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash
(Issued November 2016)
ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.
ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
We adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2017 and applied the standard retrospectively for all periods presented. Restricted cash and escrow deposits consist primarily of cash escrowed for real estate acquisitions, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements. We will provide a reconciliation of the changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within our accompanying consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statement of cash flows. We will also provide a reclassification disclosure for the movement of restricted cash out of cash flows from investing activities.

Topic 606; collectively, ASU 2014-09, 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-05, ASU 2017-10, ASU 2017-13 and ASU 2017-14
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Issued May 2014, August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016, February 2017, May 2017, September 2017 and November 2017)
In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606. The objective of Topic 606 is to establish a comprehensive new five-step model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (i.e., payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue from lease contracts until the adoption of the new leases standard in ASU 2016-02, in January 2019.

ASU 2017-05 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and requires an entity to derecognize a nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the asset and has transferred control of the asset. Once an entity transfers control of the nonfinancial asset, the entity is required to measure any nonconrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest resulting in only partial gain recognition by the entity, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires the full gain to be recognized.

In adopting Topic 606, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.

Topic 606 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 along with the right of early adoption as of the original effective date.

We have identified all of our revenue streams and concluded rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and is specifically excluded from Topic 606 and will be governed and evaluated with the anticipated adoption of ASU 2016-02 as described below. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, Topic 606 may apply to executory costs and other components of revenue due under leases that are deemed to be non-lease components (such as common area maintenance and other reimbursement revenue), even when the revenue for such activities is not separately stipulated in the lease. In that case, the revenue from these items previously recognized on a straight-line basis under the current lease guidance would be recognized under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, while total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance, the recognition pattern would be different. Under Topic 606, revenue recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. Upon adoption, there will not be a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we have historically disposed of the majority of our properties with no future controls or contingencies. We will adopt Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
ASU 2016-02
Leases
(Issued February 2016)
ASU 2016-02 will supersede the existing guidance for lease accounting and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. Within ASU 2016-02 lessor accounting remained fairly unchanged. In adopting ASU 2016-02, companies will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
We are still evaluating the full impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, however, we will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 and anticipate that we will elect a practical expedient offered in ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess the following upon adoption (elected as a group): (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement; (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements; or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs. As a result of the adoption, all leases for which we are the lessee, including corporate and ground leases will be recorded on our consolidated financial statements as either financing leases or operating leases with a related right of use asset and lease liability. In addition, we expect that certain executory and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, will need to be accounted for separately from the lease component of the lease. Lease components will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and certain non-lease components will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606 as mentioned above.
ASU 2016-13
Financial Instruments Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(Issued June 2016)
ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis.
ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
We do not anticipate early adoption or there to be a material impact, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

7. Leases
The majority of our lease expenses are derived from our ground leases and a few corporate leases, which are primarily for office space. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many of our leases contain renewal options that can extend the lease term from one to ten years, or in certain cases, longer durations. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain of our ground leases have the option to purchase the land at the end of the initial term. Our leases have one of the following payment options: (i) fixed payment throughout the term; (ii) fixed payments with periodic escalations; (iii) variable lease payments based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or another similar index; and (iv) a combination of the aforementioned. Our leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants other than certain prohibitions as to the nature of business that can be conducted within the buildings which we own in order to limit activities that may be deemed competitive in nature to the ground lessor’s activities. As of December 31, 2021, we have no new ground leases or corporate leases that have not yet commenced.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we assumed 5 new ground leases as part of building acquisitions made during the year. The new ground leases were analyzed and 3 were classified as finance leases and 2 were classified as operating leases. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2021, 9 of our in-place operating ground leases were removed as a result of property dispositions. For more details on the dispositions, refer to Note 4 - Dispositions and Impairment.

Debt Covenants
We are required by the terms of our applicable loan agreements to meet various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, such as limitations on the incurrence of debt by us and our subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of HTALP’s business, and limitations on distributions by HTALP and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Our loan agreements also impose various financial covenants on us, such as a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value, rent coverage ratios and a minimum ratio of unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense. As of December 31, 2017,2021, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and reporting requirements. In addition, certain of our loan agreements include events of default provisions that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, including restricting us from making dividend distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default thereunder, except to the extent necessary for us to maintain our REIT status.
8.9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments
We may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. We do not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. We do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. We record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on interest rate swap derivative assets in order to properly reflect the credit quality of the counterparty. In addition, our fair value of interest rate swap derivative liabilities is adjusted to reflect the impact of our credit quality.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and treasury locks as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. A treasury lock is a synthetic forward sale of a U.S. treasury note, which is settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed upon treasury rate and the prevailing treasury rate at settlement. Such treasury locks are entered into to effectively fix the treasury component of an upcoming debt issuance.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded approximately $43,000 of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. We designated our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges in March 2017 as such there was no hedge ineffectiveness in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2016.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into and settled two treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million to hedge future fixed rate debt issuances, which fixed the 10-year swap rates at an average rate of 2.26% per annum. Upon settlement of these contracts during the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid and reported a loss of $0.7 million which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and a gain of $25,000 which was recorded in the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.2$4.9 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as an increase to interest related to derivative financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

We will record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period in which a change of event occurs that results in a transfer. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate swap derivativescash flow hedges fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our interest rate swap derivativecash flow hedge positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to their overall valuation. As a result, we have determined that our interest rate swap derivativecash flow hedge valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.For further discussion of the assumptions considered, refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, restricted cash and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities,also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to approximatemeasurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. We estimate fair value relating to impairment assessments based upon discounted cash flow and direct capitalization models that include all projected cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period, or the contractual sales price, if applicable. Such projected cash flows are comprised of contractual rental revenues and forecasted rental revenues and expenses based on market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these financial instruments becausemodels are based on a reasonable range of current market rates for each property analyzed. Based on these inputs, we determined that our valuation of properties using a discounted cash flow or a direct capitalization model were classified within Level 3 of the short period of time between originationfair value hierarchy. For assets for which the estimated fair value was based on contractual sales prices, we determined that our valuation was classified within Level 2 of the instruments and their expected realization. All of these financial instruments are considered Level 2.

In October 2017,During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered a forward sale arrangement pursuant to a forward equity agreement to sellissued approximately 2.69.4 million shares of our common stock throughunder our ATM at a price of $29.40 per share, for anticipatednet proceeds of approximately $75$251.3 million, adjusted for costs to be settled in April 2018, subjectborrow equating to adjustments as provided in the forward equity agreement. a net price to us of $26.68 per share of common stock.
To account for the forward equity agreement, we considered the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives and concluded that our forward equity agreement was not a liability as it did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares of common stock nor did it embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominately fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the shares, or varying inversely in relation to our shares. We also evaluated whether the agreement met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as an equity instrument and concluded that the agreement can be classified as an equity contract based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’agreement did not exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreement from being indexed to our own common stock.

For the forward equity agreement. Theyear ended December 31, 2021, the impact to our weighted-average shares-diluted was approximately 916,000 weighted-average incremental shares. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 819,000 weighted-average incremental shares of our common stock were excluded from the computation of our weighted-average shares - diluted, foras the year ended December 31, 2017,impact was 17,000, weighted-average incremental shares.anti-dilutive.
We include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” pursuant to the two-class method. The resulting classes are our common stock and restricted stock. Our forward equity agreement is not considered a participating security and, therefore, is not included in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, all of our earnings were distributed and the calculated earnings per share amount would be the same for all classes.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into HR, with HR surviving the merger (the “Merger”).
Prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company and the Company OP will take all requisite action so that, as of immediately after the Effective Time, the existing amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of the Company OP will be amended and restated to update the redemption provisions therein to account for the Merger Consideration described below.
The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of HR (“HR Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive 1.0 (the “Exchange Ratio”) share of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock” and, such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Subject to the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated therein, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the last business day prior to the closing date of the Merger will receive a special distribution in the amount of $4.82 in cash per share of Company Common Stock held on such date (the “Special Distribution Payment”).
Once the conditions to close the Merger have been satisfied or waived, the Merger Agreement requires HR and the Company to exchange irrevocable certifications that all such closing conditions have been satisfied or waived. At such time, the Company OP will transfer or cause the transfer, on the business day before the Effective Time, to HR or its designees certain of the Company OP’s assets

SCHEDULEas specified by HR for a cash purchase price equal to the reasonably equivalent fair market value of the assets transferred. To the extent the net proceeds to the Company of the asset transfer or joint venture transactions relating to such assets are insufficient to pay the full amount of the Special Distribution Payment, the Merger Agreement requires the Company to utilize new financing to fund the balance of the Special Distribution Payment. The Company has obtained a commitment letter from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a $1.7 billion bridge financing facility.
Each option to acquire HR Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will by virtue of the Merger be assumed by the Company with the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each HR stock option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for the same number of shares of Company Common Stock. Each share of restricted HR common stock and each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of HR Common Stock or benefits measured in whole or in part by the value of a number of shares of HR Common Stock granted by HR outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become an award, on the same terms and conditions as applied to each such HR stock-based award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of HR Common Stock subject to the HR stock-based award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest full shares.
Each share of Company Common Stock subject to forfeiture conditions outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will vest in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with any Company restricted shares that were granted subject to performance-based vesting conditions treated assuming attainment of the target level of performance. Each such Company restricted share will be entitled to receive $4.82 in cash and any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such Company restricted share.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed that following the closing of the Merger, the Company Board will consist of 14 members, nine of whom will be the directors of HR immediately prior to the Effective Time and four of whom will be individuals designated by the Company, consisting of W. Bradley Blair II, - VALUATION AND QUALIFYING ACCOUNTSVicki U. Booth, Jay P. Leupp and Constance Moore. John Knox Singleton, currently Chairman of the HR board of directors, will be Chairman of the Company Board and W. Bradley Blair, II, currently Chairman of the Company Board, will be appointed Vice Chairman.
(Each of the Company and HR have made certain customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and have agreed to customary covenants, including covenants that each party conduct its business in the ordinary course of business during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time and covenants prohibiting each party from engaging in certain kinds of activities during such period without the consent of the other party.
The Merger Agreement provides that, during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, subject to customary exceptions, the Company and HR will be subject to certain restrictions on (a) soliciting proposals relating to certain alternative transactions, (b) entering into discussions or negotiating or providing non-public information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction from a third party, (c) approving or entering into any agreements providing for any such alternative transaction, or (d) agreeing to or proposing publicly to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding these “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the approval of HR stockholders and approval of the Company stockholders, under specified circumstances, the Company Board and the board of directors of HR, respectively, may change their recommendations with respect to the Merger, and the Company and HR may each also terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal upon payment of the termination fees described below.
In thousands)accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form S-4 registering shares of Company Common Stock issuable in the Merger, and the parties will prepare a joint proxy statement with respect to the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be convened for purposes of approving the issuance of shares of Company Common Shares in the Merger and the special meeting of HR’s stockholders to be convened for purposes of approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The joint proxy statement will be included in the Form S-4 and will contain, subject to certain exceptions, the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the issuance of shares of Company Common Shares in the Merger and the recommendation of the HR board of directors that HR’s stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
The completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval by the Company’s stockholders and approval by HR’s stockholders, (ii) the effectiveness of the Form S-4, (iii) the absence of injunctions, restraints or government restrictions, (iv) approval by the New York Stock Exchange for listing of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable in the Merger, (v) the absence of a material adverse effect on either the Company or HR, (vi) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties and performance in all material respects of each party’s covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement, (vii) the receipt of tax opinions relating to the status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) of each company and the tax-free nature of the transaction, and (viii) other customary conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including by either party (i) if the Merger has not been consummated on or before August 28, 2022, (ii) if a final and non-appealable order is entered, or other action is taken permanently restraining or prohibiting the transaction, (iii) upon a failure of either party to obtain approval of its stockholders, (iv) upon a material, uncured breach by the other party that would cause the closing conditions not to be satisfied, subject to a 30-day cure period, (v) if the other party’s board makes an adverse recommendation change with respect to the transaction, or (vi) prior to obtaining approval of its

stockholders, and upon payment of the applicable termination fee, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a superior acquisition proposal.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated because (i) a party’s board changes its recommendation in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) a party terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a superior acquisition proposal, or (iii) a party consummates or enters into an agreement for an alternative transaction within 12 months following termination under certain circumstances, such party must pay a termination fee to the other party; provided, further, that HR must also pay the Company a termination fee (plus reimburse the Company for its actual transaction expenses up to $5,000,000) if, on the business day immediately prior to the Outside Date, the proceeds of the asset transfer, any immediate asset transfer and the financing available to the Company pursuant to the Commitment Letter or if applicable any alternative financing are insufficient to pay the aggregate Special Distribution and any unpaid cash payment obligations of HR under the Merger Agreement (so long as such termination is not in material breach of the financing, financing cooperation and sale activity provisions of the Merger Agreement). The termination fee payable by HR to the Company in such circumstances is $163 million. The termination fee payable by the Company to HR in such circumstances is $291 million. The actual amount of each termination fee described above is subject to an escrow and adjustment mechanism for REIT compliance purposes to provide for a lesser amount if necessary to be paid to the receiving party without causing such party to fail to meet its REIT requirements for such year.
The Merger Agreement also provides that if the Company’s stockholders have approved the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, but the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company because HR’s stockholders vote against the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, HR must pay the Company a fixed expense reimbursement base amount of $25,000,000, plus reimburse the Company for its actual transaction expenses up to $5,000,000. The Merger Agreement also provides that if HR’s stockholders have approved the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, but the Merger Agreement is terminated by HR because the Company’s stockholders vote against the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company must pay HR a fixed expense reimbursement base amount of $25,000,000, plus reimburse the Company for its actual transaction expenses up to $5,000,000).
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each party. The Merger is subject to certain conditions which are set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the approval of both companies’ stockholders. The boards of directors of the Company and HR have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Merger is expected to close mid-2022.
