Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On February 28, 2011, Health Care REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with FC-GEN Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FC-GEN”), and FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OpCo”), to acquire 100% of the equity interests of FC-GEN Acquisition Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FC-GEN Acquisition Holding”) (the “Acquisition”). FC-GEN Acquisition Holding indirectly owns (1) 140 senior housing and care facilities (137 in fee simple and three pursuant to ground leases) and (2) the leasehold interests in and option to purchase seven senior housing and care facilities in 11 states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic operating under the name Genesis HealthCare. Prior to closing, FC-GEN Acquisition Holding will (a) contribute the assets, liabilities and equity interests relating to (i) the business of operating and managing senior housing and care facilities, (ii) joint venture entities and (iii) other ancillary businesses to OpCo, and then (b) distribute all of the equity interests of OpCo to FC-GEN. The purchase price for the equity interests of FC-GEN Acquisition Holding is $2.4 billion (subject to adjustment).

In addition, in conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company will have the option to acquire a 9.9% ownership interest in OpCo for a purchase price equal to $47 million (subject to certain adjustments) at any time during the initial 15-year term of the Master Lease (as defined below).

The Acquisition is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of various closing conditions, including, among other things, obtaining certain governmental and regulatory approvals and landlord consents, the absence of laws, regulations or orders of a governmental body prohibiting the Acquisition, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by, and the absence of a material breach in the performance of covenants by, FC-GEN and the Company in the Purchase Agreement. The parties have also made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, including among others, FC-GEN’s covenant not to solicit acquisition proposals or participate in discussions relating to an acquisition proposal.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been provided solely to inform investors of its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Purchase Agreement, and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. The Company’s stockholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Master Lease

Immediately after the closing of the Acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company will enter into a master lease (the “Master Lease”) with Genesis Operations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), under which Tenant will operate the 140 owned or ground leased facilities and will enter into a pass through master sub-sublease with an affiliate of Tenant under which such affiliate will operate the seven leased facilities. The Master Lease is supported by a guaranty from OpCo.

The initial term will be 15 years (the “Initial Term”). Tenant will have one option to renew for an additional term of 15 years. The renewal option is exercisable as to all facilities in the aggregate only.

The Master Lease will provide that the base rent for the first year will be $198 million, and will increase at least 1.75% but no more than 3.50% (subject to CPI changes) for each of the years two through six during the Initial Term and at least 1.50% but no more than 3.00% per year thereafter (subject to CPI changes).

Tenant and/or OpCo will be subject to certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain a minimum payment coverage ratio, a minimum net worth, a minimum cash balance, a minimum current ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Tenant will grant the Company the exclusive right and option to own any facilities that Tenant or its affiliates develop or acquire during the Initial Term.

The seven senior housing and care facilities leased by FC-GEN Acquisition Holding (the “Leased Facilities) are each subject to a fixed price purchase option (each an “Option”). Pursuant to the Acquisition, the benefit of the Options will be transferred to the Company. If the Company exercises an Option and acquires a Leased Facility (a “Purchased Facility”), the Purchased Facility will be leased to Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease.

The Master Lease will be structured so that Tenant will be responsible for all operating costs associated with the Facilities, including the payment of operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, building repairs and maintenance and all payments due under the three ground leases. Tenant will also provide indemnities against liabilities associated with the operation of the facilities.

The Company will have the right of first offer on the sale of any direct interest comprising less than a 20% ownership interest in OpCo, other than (1) a transfer between any direct or indirect owners thereof, or (2) transfers in connection with an initial public offering of OpCo.

Bridge Loan Facility

On February 28, 2011, the Company obtained a commitment from UBS Loan Finance LLC, UBS Securities LLC, as joint lead arranger, Bank of America, N.A., as co-syndication agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint lead arranger, Barclays Bank PLC, as co-syndication agent, Barclays Capital Inc., as joint lead arranger, Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as joint lead arranger and co-documentation agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agent, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arranger, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as co-documentation agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arranger, KeyBank National Association, as senior managing agent, and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. to provide a bridge loan facility to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $2.4 billion subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The $2.4 billion bridge loan facility is undrawn today, and the commitments thereunder are available until May 31, 2011. Proceeds from the borrowings under the $2.4 billion bridge loan facility, if made, will be used to fund all or part of the consideration for the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

Availability under the $2.4 billion bridge loan facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including, but not limited to, (i) the absence of any continuing default or event of default, (ii) the accuracy of all representations and warranties customary for transactions of this type, (iii) receipt of a customary borrowing notice, and (iv) there being no legal bar to the lenders making the loan or the issuance. Loans outstanding under the bridge loan facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.0% to 4.0%.

The Company’s obligations under the $2.4 billion bridge loan facility are senior unsecured obligations, ranking pari passu with other unsecured, unsubordinated general obligations of the Company.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 28, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the Acquisition. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

All information in the press release is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise be subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporated it by reference.

(b) “ Closing Date Debt ” means all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness that is assumed by OpCo and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement) as of immediately prior to the Closing determined on a consolidated basis (including all prepayment or other penalties, yield maintenance expenses, premiums, accrued interest, fees and other amounts due with respect thereto as of the Closing Date and which have not been paid as of the Closing).

(c) “ Closing Consideration ” means (A) $2,400,000,000, plus (B) an amount equal to the Cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding any Cash and Cash Equivalents that is transferred to OpCo and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement) as of the Closing Date, minus (C) Closing Date Debt, minus (D) the Company Transaction Cost Amount, plus / minus (as applicable) (E) the Actual Net Prorations.

Section 1.3 Determination of Estimated Closing Consideration . At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written calculation (the “ Price Calculation ”) setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s estimate of the Closing Consideration (the “ Estimated Closing Consideration ”) and the components thereof, including an estimate of Actual Net Prorations (“ Estimated Net Prorations ”) and the Closing Payment Amount. Such Price Calculation shall be prepared in good faith by Seller. Seller shall cause the Company to provide Buyer with reasonable access to the books and records of the Company, and other Company documents, to verify the information set forth in the Price Calculation prior to the Closing Date.

Section 1.4 Post-Closing Adjustments .

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, OpCo shall:

(i) prepare, in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and in good faith, a balance sheet with respect to the Company as of the close of business on the last Business Day preceding the Closing Date (the “ Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet ”);

(ii) determine the amount of the Closing Consideration (the “ Preliminary Closing Consideration ”) and each component thereof in reasonable detail in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(iii) deliver to Buyer the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and a calculation of the Preliminary Closing Consideration (the “ Preliminary Accounting Report ”).

(b) Following receipt of the Preliminary Accounting Report, Buyer may review the same and, within forty-five (45) days after the date of such receipt (the “ Notice Period ”), may deliver to Seller written notice setting forth its objections (if any) to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the computation of the Preliminary Closing Consideration as set forth in the Preliminary Accounting Report, together with a summary of the reasons therefor and calculations which, in its view, are necessary to eliminate such objections. In the event Buyer does not object to the Preliminary Closing Consideration within the Notice Period, the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Closing Consideration set forth in the Preliminary Accounting Report shall be final and binding as the “ Closing Balance Sheet ” and the Closing Consideration,

respectively, for purposes of this Agreement but, subject to Section 9.7, shall not limit the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c) In the event Buyer so objects to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet or the Preliminary Closing Consideration within the Notice Period, Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve by written agreement (the “ Agreed Adjustments ”) any differences properly set forth in such notice as to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Closing Consideration and, in the event Buyer and Seller so resolve all such differences, the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Closing Consideration set forth in the Preliminary Accounting Report as adjusted by the Agreed Adjustments shall be final and binding as the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Consideration, respectively, for purposes of this Agreement but, subject to Section 9.7, shall not limit the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

(d) In the event any objections raised by Buyer are not resolved by Agreed Adjustments within the thirty (30) day period next following the delivery of any objections notice by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4(b), then Buyer and Seller shall submit the objections that are then unresolved to PricewaterhouseCooopers LLP or another national accounting firm acceptable to both Buyer and Seller (the “ Accounting Firm ”), and such firm shall be directed by Buyer and Seller to resolve the unresolved objections (based solely on the presentations by Buyer and Seller as to whether any disputed matter had been determined in a manner consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles and this Agreement) as promptly as reasonably practicable and to deliver written notice to each of Buyer and Seller setting forth its resolution of the disputed matters. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Closing Consideration, after giving effect to any Agreed Adjustments and to the resolution of disputed matters by the Accounting Firm, shall be final and binding as the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Consideration, respectively, for purposes of this Agreement but, subject to Section 9.7, shall not limit the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto shall make available to Buyer, Buyer’s accountants, Seller, Seller’s accountants and, if applicable, the Accounting Firm such books, records and other information (including work papers) as any of the foregoing may reasonably request to prepare, review or analyze the Preliminary Accounting Report or any matters submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.4. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in proportion to the amount unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as determined by the Accounting Firm) as a fraction of the total amount in dispute.

Section 1.5 Payment of the Adjustment . Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4(b), Section 1.4(c) or Section 1.4(d), the following shall occur:

(b) If the Overestimate is greater than zero but less than the Indemnity Escrow Amount, then Buyer shall be entitled to be paid from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Overestimate.

(c) If the Closing Consideration exceeds the Estimated Closing Consideration (the amount by which the Closing Consideration exceeds the Estimated Closing Consideration being referred to herein as the “ Underestimate ”), then Buyer shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the Underestimate.

Section 1.6 Withholding Rights . Buyer and Seller shall agree ten (10) days prior to Closing regarding any amounts to be deducted or withheld from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller under the Code, or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law. To the extent the amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller.

Section 1.7 Valuation Opinion . Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to receive from the Valuation Firm an opinion designated as “final” by Seller with respect to the fair market valuation of OpCo as of the Closing Date determined on a marketable controlling-interest basis (the “ Closing Date Valuation Opinion ”). The parties hereto agree that the aggregate fair market value of the Equity Interests in OpCo, at the time of the transfer of such Equity Interests pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, shall be equal to (i) if the Closing Date Valuation Opinion provides a specific fair market value of such Equity Interests, such fair market value or (ii) as specified by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer. The parties agree that they shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates to, take a position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such determination.

Buyer shall not permit, without Seller’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under the Bridge Commitment if such amendment, modification or waiver would (a) reduce the aggregate

amount of the Bridge Financing in any material respect (other than as a result of any capital markets financing or asset sales) or (b) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Bridge Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (i) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (ii) make the funding of the Bridge Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Bridge Financing) less likely to occur in any material respect or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Bridge Commitment in any material respect; provided , however that Buyer may amend the Bridge Commitment and any related fee letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (and affiliates thereof) that have not executed the Bridge Commitment as of the date hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable notice (A) of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to the Bridge Commitment or definitive document related to the Bridge Financing of which Buyer or its Affiliates becomes aware and (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any person with respect to any (x) actual or potential material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Bridge Commitment or any definitive document related to the Bridge Financing or any provisions of the Bridge Commitment or any definitive document related to the Bridge Financing or (y) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Bridge Commitment or any definitive document related to the Bridge Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Bridge Financing or any definitive agreement with respect thereto); provided that in no event will Buyer be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege if Buyer shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege. If any portion of the Bridge Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Bridge Commitment and any related fee letter, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Buyer, than the terms set forth in the Bridge Commitment and any related fee letter, in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“ Alternative Financing ”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall apply to such Alternative Financing as though it was the Bridge Financing; provided that Buyer shall not be required to arrange for such Alternative Financing or execute any commitment letter or agreement in connection therewith (the “ New Commitment ”) on terms and conditions which are materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Buyer than those included in the Bridge Commitment and any related fee letter that such New Commitment is replacing; provided , further that Buyer shall not be required to arrange for such Alternative Financing or execute any New Commitment in the event that the proceeds from any

capital markets financings or asset sales are sufficient to finance the payments required under Section 2.3 on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, including the obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, are not conditioned on the availability of the funding under the Bridge Financing, any capital markets financing, any Alternative Financing or the receipt by Buyer or its Affiliates of any other funds.

At least five (5) Business Days prior to any due date that is after the Closing Date for any Tax Return covered by Section 6.1(b)(i)(A) above (other than the Final Company Consolidated Tax Return), OpCo shall pay Buyer the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax Return that exceed the amount reserved for Taxes on the Closing Balance Sheet, or Buyer shall pay OpCo the amount of Taxes that were included in the calculation of the amount reserved for Taxes on the Closing Balance Sheet that exceed the Taxes reported on such Tax Return. In the event that the amount of Taxes reported as due on the Final Company Consolidated Tax Return exceeds the amount remaining in the Tax Escrow, OpCo shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the Final Company Consolidated Tax Return. Buyer shall timely pay the Taxes reported on the Final Company Consolidated Tax Return and the other Tax Returns covered by Section 6.1(b)(i)(A) to the applicable Tax Authority.

Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Returns with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Periods without OpCo’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless required by applicable Requirements of Law.

(iii) Disputes . In the event that OpCo or Buyer disputes any item on any Tax Return provided to such party for its review and approval pursuant to Section

6.1(b)(i)(A) or Section 6.1(b)(ii), the disputing party shall notify the other party of the disputed item or items and the basis for its objection. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date for such Tax Return. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, such disputed item shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm related to any such disputes under this Section 6.1(b)(iii) shall be borne equally by OpCo and Buyer.

(i) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to determine the amount of U.S. federal income and state income Taxes that will be payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date. If the amount of such Taxes exceeds or is less than the Tax Escrow Amount, the Tax Escrow Amount shall be increased or decreased by the amount of such excess or shortfall. In addition, Buyer and the Company and their respective Affiliates shall provide the other party, promptly upon request, with such cooperation and assistance, documents and other information, at the reasonable expense of the requesting party, as may reasonably be requested by such party in connection with the calculation of (i) the Company’s historic earnings and profits for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and (ii) the amount of any depreciation recapture under Section 1245 of the Code resulting from the transactions described in the Reorganization Agreement.

(ii) Until ninety (90) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof), Buyer and OpCo and their respective Affiliates shall provide the other party, promptly upon request, with such cooperation and assistance, documents and other information, at the reasonable expense of the requesting party, as may reasonably be requested by such party in connection with (A) the preparation and filing of any original or amended Tax Return or any other filing with any Tax Authority, (B) the conduct of or defense against any Tax Proceeding, or (C) the verification by a party of an amount payable hereunder to, or receivable hereunder from, another party.

Each party shall make its employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation.

(iii) Buyer and OpCo shall retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns and all books and records, schedules, work papers and other documents relating thereto with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, in each case, owned or controlled by Buyer or OpCo or their respective

Affiliates, until ninety (90) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof). The parties shall promptly notify each other in writing of any waivers, extensions or expirations of applicable statutes of limitations.

(d) Contests .

(i) After the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other party of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding received with respect to Taxes for which OpCo or Buyer is liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided , however , that a party’s failure to give such notice will not affect the other party’s rights to indemnification under this Section 6.1 except to the extent that the other party is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Tax Authority or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(ii) At OpCo’s request and expense, Buyer shall contest (or cause to be contested) any asserted Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax liability for which OpCo may have an indemnity obligation under Section 6.1(a)(i). If OpCo so elects, OpCo shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, of any Tax Proceeding involving any asserted Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax liability with respect to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries relating to Pre-Closing Tax Period Taxes for which OpCo is liable pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i); provided that Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the right to participate in such Tax Proceeding, including through counsel of their choosing, at their own expense. OpCo shall keep Buyer fully informed on a timely basis of all matters relating to any Tax Proceeding controlled by OpCo hereunder. OpCo shall not accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise regarding any Tax Proceeding controlled by OpCo without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) In the case of a Tax Proceeding that relates to a Straddle Period, Buyer shall control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding, but OpCo shall have the right to participate in such Tax Proceeding at its own expense; provided that Buyer shall not accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise regarding any such Tax Proceeding without OpCo’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Payment by Buyer of any amount due under Section 6.1(a)(ii) shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by OpCo that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Tax Authority or

other applicable third party is due; provided that Buyer shall not be required to make any payment earlier than ten (10) days before it is due to the appropriate Tax Authority or applicable third party. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1(d), payment of such contested Tax will not be considered due earlier than the date a “final determination” to such effect is made by such Tax Authority. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall mean a settlement, compromise, or other agreement with the relevant Tax Authority, a deficiency notice with respect to which the period for filing a petition with the Tax court or the relevant state, local or foreign tribunal has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired.

For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to such period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the such period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

(f) Refunds; Credits . OpCo shall be entitled to, and Buyer shall promptly pay OpCo, the amount of any Tax refund or credit (except to the extent such refund or credit constitutes a Tax benefit that reduces under Section 9.8 an amount to which a Seller Group Member or Buyer Group Member seeking indemnification under Article IX or this Section 6.1 would otherwise be entitled) actually received by Buyer or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date to the extent such Tax refund or credit is attributable to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (net of any reasonable costs to Buyer or its Subsidiaries in obtaining such Tax refund or credit). Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any such refund or credit, including, subject to Section 6.1(b)(ii), through the filing of amended Tax Returns or refund claims. Buyer shall be entitled to, and OpCo shall promptly pay to Buyer, the amount of any Tax refund or credit (except to the extent such refund or credit constitutes a Tax benefit that reduces under Section 9.8 an amount to which a Seller Group Member or Buyer Group Member seeking indemnification under Article IX or this Section 6.1 would otherwise be entitled) actually received by OpCo or its Subsidiaries with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding OpCo and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) for any Tax period (or the portion of any Straddle Period) beginning after the Closing Date (net of reasonable costs to OpCo or its Subsidiaries in obtaining such Tax refund or credit). OpCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Tax refund or credit.

(g) Termination of Tax Sharing Arrangements . The Company and its Subsidiaries shall cause the termination, prior to the Closing Date, of all Tax Sharing Arrangements among the Company and its Subsidiaries, and after the Closing Date, none of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer, or any Affiliate of Buyer shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) Transfer Taxes . Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the preparation and filing of any returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns and, where required by applicable Requirements of Law, making or joining with Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) in making such filings, it being understood that Buyer and OpCo will work jointly and reasonably cooperate in identifying the Transfer Tax filing requirements and preparing the relevant materials for submission. Buyer shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, pay fifty percent (50%) of any and all real property or direct or indirect equity interest transfer taxes, stamp taxes, stock transfer taxes and other similar Taxes or expenses imposed, and all recording fees that may be imposed, as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any fines, penalties, interest or additions with respect thereto (collectively, “ Transfer Taxes ”) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if any component of Transfer Taxes consists of fines, penalties, interest or additions resulting from any delay or other inaction or omission by either Buyer or Seller in connection with the preparation or filing thereof, Buyer or Seller alone, as the case may be, shall bear all of such fines, penalties, interest or other additions; provided , further , that OpCo shall pay 100% of any Transfer Taxes and recording charges related to any transfers by deed pursuant to the Reorganization.

(i) Reporting . To the extent Section 6043A of the Code applies to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with all information as is reasonably necessary for the parties to satisfy the reporting obligations under Section 6043A of the Code.

(j) Unified Loss . Buyer shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries but excluding OpCo and its Subsidiaries) to, cooperate with Seller, OpCo and their respective Affiliates in making any elections (including protective elections) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 (and any similar provisions of state, local or foreign Requirements of Law) that Seller or OpCo desires to make with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Reorganization Agreement.

(c) For purposes of this Section 9.2 and for purposes of determining whether Seller is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered or made available in connection herewith shall be determined without regard to any qualification as to “materiality” set forth in such representation or warranty or in any document delivered or made available in connection herewith, and all references to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “materially” or any similar terms shall be ignored for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was true and correct; provided ; however , that any such qualifications or terms included in the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” incorporated in such representations and warranties shall not be so ignored.

A Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought (each, a “ Third-Person Claim ”) shall be given promptly and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the action or suit is commenced. The failure of any Seller Group Member or Buyer Group Member seeking indemnification hereunder (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”) to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 9.3 shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article IX except to the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “ Indemnitor ”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article IX shall be determined: (i) by written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; or (ii) by the final judgment or decree of a court, which shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(c) Upon the determination of any amount of indemnification payable to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(b), if cash remains in the Indemnity Escrow, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Indemnity Escrow to the Person or Persons entitled thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures with respect to notice of claims for any and all matters relating to Taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.1 and shall not be governed by the above provisions of this Section 9.3.

Section 9.4 Third-Person Claims .

(a) The Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, in good faith and at its expense, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Person Claim by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitor’s receipt of the Claim Notice relating to such Third-Person Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third-Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof; provided , further , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will bear the reasonable expenses of one such separate counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction (and shall pay such expenses as incurred) if the defendants in, or targets of, any such Action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are or are reasonably likely to be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor or that representation by the same counsel is or is reasonably likely to be a conflict of interest; and provided , further , that the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) pay, compromise or settle any such Third-Person Claim unless such payment,

settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, by its terms obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Person Claim and includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Third-Person Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third-Person Claim without such consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to have sole control over (and if it so desires, the Indemnified Party shall have sole control over) the defense, settlement or compromise of (but the Indemnitor shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses and Expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise to the extent required pursuant to this Article IX): (i) any Third-Person Claim that seeks only an order, injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates that does not involve the payment of money other than in a de minimis amount or (ii) any Third-Person Claim reasonably expected to have a material adverse financial impact on such Indemnified Party’s business relationship with such Third-Person or its Affiliates that is materially greater than the amount that would be reasonably expected to be indemnified by the Indemnitor if such Third-Person Claim were adversely determined against such Indemnified Party and Indemnitor.

(b) If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense, settlement or compromise of an asserted liability, fails to timely and properly notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or, at any time after assuming such defense, fails to diligently defend against such Third-Person Claim in good faith or fails to have sufficient financial resources to pay the full amount of such potential liability in connection with such Third-Person Claim (taking into account the balance of the Indemnity Escrow), the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnitor’s expense, pay, defend, settle or compromise such asserted liability (but the Indemnitor shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses and Expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such payment, defense, settlement or compromise to the extent required pursuant hereto, subject to the limitations on such Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder); provided , however , that no Indemnified Party will, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third-Person Claim; provided , further , that the Indemnitor may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third-Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor is not conducting and controlling the defense thereof pursuant to this Section 9.4(b). In connection with any defense of a Third-Person Claim (whether by the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party), each of OpCo and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith in the defense or prosecution thereof, including providing the Indemnitor and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, to all personnel who may have knowledge of the facts and circumstances, and to all their respective properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records, relating to any claim by an Indemnified Party and to retain and furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested by a party hereto in connection therewith.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures with respect to the conduct and control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Person Claim for any and all

matters relating to Taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.1 and shall not be governed by the above provisions of this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5 No Contribution by the Company . For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may not seek contribution from the Company with respect to any indemnification obligation hereunder.

Section 9.6 Application of Escrow . Any indemnification obligations of the OpCo Indemnitors under this Article IX shall be paid first from the Indemnity Escrow and, after the Indemnity Escrow has been depleted or is subject to pending Indemnity Claims in excess of the then-current balance in the Indemnity Escrow, then recovered directly from OpCo Indemnitors, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX.

Section 9.7 Limitations . Following the Closing, the indemnification obligations of the parties under this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and any parties claiming by or through any party (including the Indemnified Parties) with respect to this Agreement, and for Losses and Expenses in connection with this Agreement, except with respect to equitable remedies or in the case of claims relating to fraud; provided , however , that nothing in this Section 9.7 shall in any way limit or preclude any method of recovery or recourse against any party for breaches of this Agreement by such party prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 11.15. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnitor shall be liable for any punitive or exemplary damages, except for punitive or exemplary damages actually paid to a third party in a Third-Person Claim by an Indemnified Party. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery (i) due to facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, (ii) due to facts giving rise to such liability under more than one of Section 9.1(a)(i), Section 9.1(a)(ii), Section 9.1(a)(iii), Section 9.1(a)(iv), Section 9.1(a)(v) or Section 9.1(a)(vi), (iii) due to facts taken into account in determining any adjustment to the Closing Consideration or (iv) any Losses, liabilities or payments pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.

Section 9.8 Adjustments to Purchase Price; Net Recovery; Duty to Mitigate .

(a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary: (i) any Losses or Expenses paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article IX or Section 6.1 shall be deemed adjustments to the aggregate purchase price paid for the Membership Interests; and (ii) Losses or Expenses payable to an Indemnified Party under this Article IX or Section 6.1 shall be determined net of (A) any recovery actually received by any Indemnified Party (or, with respect to the Company as an Indemnified Party, by any of its Subsidiaries), including from any insurer or any seller of assets or securities to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided , however , that where receipt has not yet occurred, no adjustment shall be made until the time of such receipt (at which time the amount of any overpayment shall be immediately returned), and (B) any net Tax benefit actually realized by any Indemnified Party (or, with respect to the Company as an Indemnified Party, by any of its Subsidiaries) due to such Losses or Expenses in a Tax year in which such Losses or Expenses were incurred or as the result of the receipt of an indemnity payment by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX or Section 6.1 in that same Tax year. Buyer shall exercise reasonable best efforts to recover any amounts available to offset any

Losses or Expenses payable from the Indemnity Escrow hereunder, including from any insurer, any Tax Authority, or any seller of assets or securities to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided , however , that in connection with the efforts to recover amounts to offset such Losses or Expenses, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to (x) incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses or pay any other amounts to third parties, (y) make any claims or initiate any legal proceedings against third parties or (z) take any other action to the extent such action would adversely affect such party in any material respect. If any Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX or Section 6.1, at the election of the Indemnitor, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to the Indemnitor all of its claims for recovery against third persons as to such Losses, whether by insurance coverage, contribution claims, subrogation or otherwise.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses or Expenses for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification before such Losses or Expenses actually are incurred by the Indemnified Party.

Health Care REIT, Inc. to Acquire the Real Estate Assets of
Genesis HealthCare for $2.4 Billion

Toledo, Ohio, February 28, 2011....Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN) announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the real estate assets of privately-owned Genesis HealthCare (Genesis), a leading provider of short-term post-acute, rehabilitation, assisted living and long-term care services, for a purchase price of $2.4 billion.

Genesis’ highly respected and tenured management team will continue to operate the facilities pursuant to a long-term triple-net master lease. HCN will have the right to own certain facilities that Genesis currently leases from third-party landlords, pursuant to fixed price purchase options, as well as any facilities that Genesis acquires or develops during the initial 15-year term of the lease at pre-determined attractive lease yields. In addition, HCN has the option to acquire a 9.9% ownership interest in Genesis for a fixed price equal to $47 million throughout the initial lease term. This option will enable HCN to share in the future growth of Genesis.

The long-term triple-net lease with Genesis will provide for rent in the first year of $198 million with an initial cash yield of 8.25%. The rent, which includes a combination of fixed and CPI escalators, is expected to increase by 3.5% on the first five anniversary dates of the lease and 3.0% per year thereafter. EBITDAR coverage is expected to be 1.5x. Genesis will have a renewal option at the conclusion of the initial term for an additional 15 years with rent increased to the greater of 103% of the prior year’s rent or fair market value.

“We expect Health Care REIT’s acquisition and leaseback of Genesis HealthCare’s assets will be highly accretive to HCN’s earnings,” says George L. Chapman, Health Care REIT’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “The acquisition is consistent with our commitment to partner with best-in-class operators across the health care acuity spectrum. The investment provides embedded opportunities for both organic and external growth. Genesis is positioned to grow its quality payor mix and optimize occupancy as it continues to meet the needs of an increasing post-acute, short-stay patient population. In addition, Genesis has built a robust pipeline of potential acquisition and development opportunities as it expands its footprint along the eastern seaboard. This new partnership between Genesis and Health Care REIT is an exciting growth story.”

George V. Hager, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Genesis added, “We at Genesis are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with Health Care REIT. Together, we will continue our high level of investment in optimizing and expanding our facilities to meet the needs of our increasingly acute patient population. Genesis prides itself on providing patients and residents with outstanding clinical care, delivered by highly skilled practitioners in a warm and comfortable setting. We selected HCN as our partner because of this shared vision and its commitment to serve as a trusted, long-term partner in our growth.”

Health Care REIT will acquire from Genesis 147 post-acute, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities located in 11 states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Genesis’ largest markets include Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The portfolio has geographic density in attractive metropolitan markets with high barriers to entry, significant hospital system referral source

admission efficiencies and high replacement costs. These notable portfolio strengths are an unparalleled market differentiator for Genesis in the post-acute and skilled nursing sector. Genesis is the largest provider of post-acute and skilled nursing care in the majority of its markets.

The transaction is expected to be $0.39 accretive to FFO and $0.29 to FAD on an annualized basis, representing a pro-forma 12% and 9% growth over the midpoint of HCN’s 2011 guidance as previously issued on February 16, 2011. Accretion estimates assume HCN’s traditional 45% debt to undepreciated book capitalization structure. Actual 2011 guidance will be updated to reflect the timing of the closing of the transaction and the composition of the funding of the transaction. Pro forma for transactions announced to-date, HCN will have nearly $13 billion in assets comprised of a well-balanced portfolio of 880 properties. A reconciliation of FFO and FAD measures can be found in the exhibit at the end of the document.

Genesis HealthCare, based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is a leading provider of short-term post-acute, rehabilitation, assisted living and long-term care services. Genesis has successfully expanded its clinical capabilities in recent years to become a leading provider of short-term, post-acute services, demonstrated by the fact that 90% of patients are admitted from hospitals and 62% of Genesis patients are discharged to the home. As part of this post-acute focus, Genesis now has over 120 clinical specialty units. Given its strong clinical capabilities, Genesis facilities are well positioned as the lowest cost post-acute inpatient setting. With $405 million in investments in facility improvements and clinical programs, Genesis’ quality mix has increased from 47% in 2006 to a projected 55% in 2011 and is positioned for significant growth as the short-term, post-acute patient census accelerates. Driven by growth in quality mix, clinical capabilities and operational efficiencies, Genesis has generated 9% annual average revenue growth, 14% average annual EBITDAR growth and consistent average occupancy of 91% over the last five years. Genesis is privately-owned by affiliates of Formation Capital and JER Partners.

An overview document discussing further details of the Genesis transaction will be available on the Featured Partners page of HCN’s website at www.hcreit.com/featuredpartners.

Transaction Benefits

	•		Post-acute platforms are emerging as a critical component in the evolution of health care delivery and reimbursement: Changes in health care delivery models and health care reform favor the post-acute platform as a lower-cost alternative to hospitalization. Genesis’ strategy to focus its care model on the growing post-acute patient population includes $405 million in capital improvements in the last six years, the creation more than 120 clinical specialty units and an initiative to significantly increase the numbers of physicians or nurse practitioners in their facilities.

	•		Alignment with HCN’s relationship investment strategy and commitment to invest across the acuity spectrum: Health Care REIT and Genesis’ shared alignment in their relationship and partnership approach to business creates value for both companies. Additionally, the significant overlap with Health Care REIT’s health system, assisted living and senior housing portfolio partners in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic creates a continuum of care within Health Care REIT’s portfolio of operators, ensuring that patients can receive services in a facility owned by HCN at any point along the health care continuum. HCN’s health system, assisted living and independent living care partnerships provide the potential for referral relationships and a platform in which to share best practices with the goal of increasing quality while lowering the cost of care.

	•		Embedded opportunity for organic and external growth: Genesis is positioned for superior organic and external growth. Organic growth will be driven through increases in short-term, post-acute patient population, which in turn will drive higher quality payor mix. Since 2006, Genesis has increased the quality payor mix from 47% in 2006 to a projected 55% in 2011 with room for additional growth. External growth opportunities will be driven through an established pipeline of potential acquisition opportunities along the eastern seaboard through existing purchase options

			and rights of first refusal. Additionally, the company also has received Certificates of Need (CON’s) in key markets suitable to develop modern post-acute facilities.

	•		Geographic advantage: Genesis’ geographic focus in contiguous states along the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic provides for an industry-leading system of provider relationships. High barrier to entry markets and replacement costs create a portfolio that would be extremely difficult to replicate. Operational efficiencies and strong, local brand presence are additional benefits of geographic density.

	•		Strength of management team: Genesis’ executive management team, led by George V. Hager, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, has been in place for almost 20 years and will continue to manage the operations. The team’s forward thinking approach recognizes that coordination across the health care continuum is critical to efficient and effective health care delivery.

	•		Highly accretive transaction: The transaction is expected to be $0.39 accretive to FFO and $0.29 to FAD on an annualized basis, representing a proforma 12% and 9% growth over the midpoint of HCN’s 2011 guidance as previously issued on February 16, 2011. Accretion estimates assume HCN’s traditional 45% debt to undepreciated book capitalization structure. Actual 2011 guidance will be updated to reflect the timing of the closing of the transaction and the composition of the funding of the transaction. Proforma for transactions announced to-date, HCN will have nearly $13 billion in assets comprised of a well-ballance portfolio of 880 properties. A reconciliation of FFO and FAD measures can be found in the exhibit at the end of this document.

HCN expects the acquisition to close during the 2nd quarter of 2011, although there can be no assurance that the transaction will close or, if it does, when the closing will occur.

Health Care REIT has obtained a commitment for a bridge loan in an amount up to $2.4 billion which will be available to finance the acquisition of Genesis if needed.

Forward Looking Statements

This document may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When the company uses words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “pro forma,” “estimate” or similar expressions, it is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. The company’s expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, competition within the health care and senior housing industries (in particular the response to the transaction in the marketplace); the failure to make new investments as and when anticipated; negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of operators or tenants, including Genesis; the failure of closing, including this acquisition, to occur as and when anticipated; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to this acquisition and future acquisitions and the integration of the acquired facilities into the company’s portfolio; the attainment of third-party consents and the receipt of applicable healthcare licenses and governmental approvals; compliance with IRS guidance; and changes in rules or practices governing the company’s financial reporting. Additional factors are discussed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

HCN believes that net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, it considers funds from operations (“FFO”) and funds available for distribution (“FAD”) to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FAD represents FFO excluding net straight line rental adjustments, amortization related to above/below market leases and amortization of non-cash interest expenses and less cash used to fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and lease commissions. HCN believes that FFO and FAD are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use these measures to compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other REITs or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by unanticipated and/or incalculable items.

HCN’s supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. HCN’s management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating

decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. None of the supplemental reporting measures represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by the company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies.
