| Statement |

| Maplewood continues to see strong performance across the portfolio with 16 of the 17 facilities fully stabilized |
| So it’s well collateralized, high net worth individual with great track record |
| However, longer term, we believe all of these assets, but in particular, Maplewood, are well positioned to generate reliable and growing cash flows and related rent |
| He has an excellent history |
| Operators representing 1.2% at third quarter and October EBITDAR coverage above 1.0x, benefiting from state rate increases and operational improvements that we expect to continue on a go-forward basis |
| There continues to be positive momentum on the staffing front, albeit with wide variation by market |
| Our balance sheet continues to remain strong |
| Again, it’s really – it’s going to be dependent on the pipeline from a capital funding standpoint, but I think we are well positioned just where the balance sheet sits today |
| We can break the 13.2% into a handful of buckets; operators representing 7.5% of the 13.2%, our strong credits and therefore, payment of rent should not be an issue |
| This remarkable achievement reflects the dedication and commitment of the Maplewood employees |
| We ended the quarter with over $440 million of cash on the balance sheet and over $1.4 billion in credit facility borrowing capacity and are well positioned to pay off our April 1, $400 million bond maturity and fund new investments |
| With AHCA’s strong track record in getting improvements made to proposed rules, and more than 40,000 comments received by CMS, all of which need to be reviewed and considered, it is too soon to tell what the ultimate mandate will look like |
| Overshadowing these improvements, however, is the promise by CMS that they will finalize the staffing mandate sometime this year |
| Fourth quarter FAD funds available for distribution of $0.64 per share was as expected, reflecting several portfolios that are in the process of being transitioned, which will result in meaningful FAD upside over the next few quarters |
| As Dan will discuss, key tenant occupancy and rent coverage metrics continue to improve, including the under 1x EBITDAR coverage operator metric, which dropped from 27.5% of total rent to 13.2% of total rent |
| But we’re able to pick and choose the right deals, and we are able to – we are holding pretty firm on our 10% yield requirements |
| I will tell you, though, the important thing is, as Dan mentioned, those assets performed well |
| But I think you’ll just continue to see as the occupancy improves as that coverage is going to improve |
| Maplewood was recently awarded Best of Senior Living Awards at all 17 facilities, which places the communities in the top 1% to 2% of senior housing care providers nationwide |
| Great |
| And as expected, with the staffing shortages easing, we see occupancy continue to slowly improve with a slight slowdown in the winter months as is typical |
| But with that many comments, it’s likely that there are going to be some improvements in it |
| This compares favorably to the standalone second quarter of 1.21x and 1.15x with and without $13.2 million in federal stimulus funds respectively |
| Tayo Okusanya Great |
| We appreciate the time |
| Michele Reber Thank you and good morning |
| Good morning |
| Good morning |
| The number of core facilities recovered is now at 42%, up from the 37% reported in the second quarter |
| Good morning everyone |

| Full year FAD was $2.62 per share, slightly below our full year dividend of $2.68 per share, resulting in a payout ratio of 102% |
| And then there are certain states, Texas has staffing issues, our operators personally doing pretty well there, but there are staffing issues in the state |
| And then as occupancy builds across markets, and there is still staffing shortages, have you seen pockets of your portfolio that haven’t needed to go back to the agency labor from pretty hard and pull that lever just to compete with, again, just the demand of healthcare rising in the markets? Megan Krull So, I would say, in general, I mean like I noted, the agency has come down pretty substantially over the last few quarters |
| Our NAREIT FFO for the fourth quarter was $129 million or $0.50 per share as compared to a loss of $30 million or a loss of $0.13 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| We continue to have a handful of cash basis operators, including Maplewood that will impact our go-forward AFFO and FAD, making first quarter 2024 FAD difficult to predict |
| Megan Krull I think what we’re hearing from our operators is mostly the fact that the staffing is easing up, right? Some of the agency has come down |
| And then maybe one on rent coverage, so curious to see if there are any expectations for that number trending into 4Q? We have mid data suggesting that occupancy had more or less flattened down as expected given the seasonality |
| Occupancy for our overall core portfolio has continued to recover from a low of 74.6% in January of 2022 to 80.2% as of mid-January 2024 based upon preliminary reporting from our operators |
| Recall that the mandate as currently proposed is already slated to have a delayed implementation with the 24/7 RN requirement going into effect 2 years after the mandate is finalized for urban facilities and 3 years for rural and the required hours per resident day for RNs and nursing aids going into effect 3 years after the mandate is finalized for urban facilities in 5 years for rural |
| Assuming nothing else happens – unusual happens |
