Acquisition & Development Update Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. or “The Company” continues to target external investments that meet its disciplined criteria of being (i) core-critical real estate for healthcare delivery, either on-campus or in core community outpatient settings; (ii) located in fast growing, key markets, and (iii) with strong healthcare provider tenancy, which we believe allows for strong rental growth over time. HTA uses its national operating platform to source acquisition and development opportunities at attractive yields which the Company believes will generate shareholder value over the short and long-term. As of August 30, 2019, the Company announced year-to-date medical office building (“MOB”) investments of (i) $208 million in acquisitions and (ii) $85-90 million in new development projects. Acquisitions During 2019, HTA has now closed on $208 million of acquisitions totaling 527,000 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), with expected year one contractual yields over 5.5%, before any operating synergies. These properties are approximately 90% occupied as of closing, and are well located within in HTA’s key markets. Over 74% of the properties located on or adjacent to hospital campuses, however, all were acquired on a fee-simple basis.

The developments are expected to have commitments to lease of more than 73% of the space prior to the start of construction, and are being developed to anticipated stabilized yields of over 6.5%.

The tenant roster includes some of the leading healthcare providers in Southern California locked into long-term leases with annual escalators averaging over 2.5%. With this acquisition, HTA’s investment in the greater Los Angeles/Orange County market now totals more than $325 million with over 700,000 square feet of GLA. This allows for increased scale and efficiencies, allowing for an expansion of HTA’s property management and building services platform. 1Weighted Average Lease Term Acquisition Case Study 4

The property is located in the Downtown Chicago Medical and Academic Campus District on a fee-simple basis with attractive yields. The property benefits from a high visibility location, 1 ½ blocks from the famous “Magnificent Mile” in Northern Michigan Avenue’s growing medical district. Streeterville Medical Center is directly across from the Northwestern Medical Campus which occupies a 25-acre/7 block area. The campus includes 3 major hospital buildings and world renowned research facilities. In addition, Shirley Ryan Ability Lab recently completed a $550 million renovation that includes research and patient care. The University of Chicago is also expanding their outpatient facilities in the medical district. HTA will add this property to its internal asset management platform, generating long term value as HTA consolidates and expands tenant suites within the building. Acquisition Case Study 6

With these acquisitions, HTA’s Charlotte, NC presence will increase to over 400,000 square feet of GLA, allowing HTA to bring its assets onto its internal asset management platform. This will bring additional operating efficiencies and the ability to increase its local market knowledge and healthcare relationships. Acquisition Case Study 8


 
Westport Center for Health Westport, CT Investment: $18.75MM Four Medical Office Building Campus Totaling 38,000 SF Core Critical Off Campus Location with Superior Demographics 82% Occupancy, 9 year WALT Key Tenants: Yale New Haven Health System Strategic Rationale The Westport Center for Health is a core community outpatient location in which HTA seeks to invest. The property is located in Westport, CT, a highly affluent, high barrier market outside of New York City. The property’s location allows for easy access to I-95 making it attractive to healthcare providers. The property is anchored by investment grade credit tenant Yale New Haven Health System. The property is 82% occupied which allows for yield growth. In addition to the strong property features and location characteristics, the asset will be internally managed by HTA’s in-house platform as it is strategically located between two major existing campuses, which we believe will generate incremental value for shareholders.

As a result, we currently have commitments to lease over 75% of the GLA in this MOB, reducing lease-up risk to this project. HTA currently owns two existing MOBs on this campus that are over 90% leased as of June 30, 2019. With this development, HTA’s investment on this campus will increase to over 300,000 square feet of GLA of fee-simple, on-campus MOBs located in critical, Dallas medical real estate.

Announces $200 million in New Developments and Acquisitions SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, August 30, 2019 - Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE:HTA or the “Company”), announced investment activity of over $200 million in new development projects and acquisitions since June 30, 2019. These include the announcement of two on-campus medical office building (“MOB”) developments with total investments of approximately $85 to $90 million, and approximately $115 million of acquisitions closed in the third quarter of 2019. “These developments and acquisitions demonstrate HTA’s continued ability to find and create investment opportunities at attractive yields with leading health systems in our key markets,” stated Founder, Chairman and CEO Scott D. Peters. “The local knowledge and relationships generated from our national operating platform gives us the access and insight to make these investments with a focus on performing over the short and long-term to generate shareholder value.” New Development Projects HTA has reached agreements to develop two new on-campus MOBs with leading health systems in HTA’s existing markets. These developments will total approximately 190,000 square feet of GLA and will be developed at expected costs of $85 - $90 million. The developments are expected to have commitments to lease of more than 73% of the space prior to the start of construction, and are being developed to anticipated stabilized yields of over 6.5%. The projects include:  Pavilion III MOB (Dallas, TX). HTA will develop a Class A MOB with 107,000 square feet of GLA on the new Medical City Heart Hospital and Spine Hospital campus (formerly Forest Park). Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019 and be completed by the first quarter of 2021 at an expected cost of approximately $55– $60 million, including structured parking. This fee-simple development will support the recent expansion of this health system campus that will provide leading cardiac and orthopedic services to Dallas. HTA currently owns two existing MOBs on this campus that are over 90% leased as of June 30, 2019. With this development, HTA’s investment on this campus will increase to over 300,000 square feet of GLA of fee-simple, on-campus MOBs located in critical, Dallas medical real estate. The Company has also entered into a contract to purchase a 6 acre parcel of land located immediately adjacent to the campus which it intends to hold for future expansion.  Memorial Hospital MOB (Bakersfield, CA). HTA will develop a Class A MOB with 84,000 square foot of GLA located on CommonSpirit’s (formerly Dignity) Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield, CA. This MOB is expected to cost approximately $30 million to develop, with construction expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019 and be completed by the first quarter of 2021. This development will expand HTA’s relationship with CommonSpirit to a 10th hospital campus and will bring occupancy with HTA to over 470,000 square feet with this key health system.


 
Recent Acquisitions Between June 30, 2019 and the end of August, HTA had closed on approximately $115 million of primarily on-campus MOBs in the quarter at anticipated, in-place year-one yields of over 5.6%, prior to any synergies from the Company’s full service operating platform. These MOBs have 262,000 square feet of GLA, are 94% leased as of the time of acquisition, and are located in key markets that the Company intends to grow over the long term. During 2019, HTA has now closed on $208 million of acquisitions totaling 527,000 square feet of GLA, with expected year one contractual yields over 5.8%, before any operating synergies. These properties are approximately 90% leased as of closing, and are well located within dynamic submarkets in HTA’s key markets. Over 74% of the properties located on or adjacent to hospital campuses, however, all of them were acquired on a fee-simple basis. Third Quarter 2019 acquisitions include:  Third Street Medical Center (Los Angeles, CA). HTA acquired this Class A MOB with 147,000 square feet of GLA in August for $85.0 million. The MOB is 90% leased and is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, adjacent to the St. Vincent’s Medical Center. The building features a well-respected tenant roster including UCLA Health, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the internationally renowned House Ear Institute, AltaMed and U.S. Renal Care.

Factors which could have a material adverse effect on HTA’s operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: • changes in economic conditions affecting the healthcare property sector, the commercial real estate market and the credit market; • competition for acquisition and development of medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry; • economic fluctuations in certain states in which HTA’s property investments are geographically concentrated; • retention of our senior management team and our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel; • financial stability and solvency of HTA’s tenants, including the ability and willingness of HTA’s tenants or borrowers to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with us; • the ability and willingness of HTA’s tenants to renew their leases with us upon expiration of the leases or our ability to reposition our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant; • fluctuations in reimbursements from third party payors such as Medicare and Medicaid; • supply and demand for operating properties in the market areas in which HTA operates; • HTA’s ability to acquire or develop real properties, and to successfully operate those properties once acquired or developed; • changes in operating expenses of HTA’s properties including, but not limited to, expenditures for property taxes, property and liability insurance premiums, and changes in utility rates; • HTA’s ability and the ability of our tenants to obtain and maintain adequate property, liability and other insurance from reputable, financially stable providers; • restrictive covenants on certain of HTA’s properties subject to ground leases that may restrict or limit the uses of HTA’s properties and the types of tenants we are able to lease to, and our resulting ability to attract new tenants; • the impact from damage to HTA’s properties from, or increased operating costs associated with, catastrophic weather and other natural events and the physical effects of climate change; • legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs and changes to laws governing the healthcare industry; • changes in interest rates, including changes as a result of the potential phasing out of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); • the availability of capital and financing; • restrictive covenants in HTA’s credit facilities; • changes in HTA’s credit ratings; • HTA’s ability to remain qualified as a REIT; • changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs; and • the risk factors set forth in HTA’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in HTA’s most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
