CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, property performance, and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics, and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe,” “expect,” “outlook,” “continue,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “intend,” “plan,” “pro forma,” “estimate,” or “anticipate” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, expectations, or intentions.
 
These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and projections about future events and are based on currently available information. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

Physicians Realty Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the use of the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” refer to Physicians Realty Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Physicians Realty L.P.
 
Note 1. Organization and Business
 
Physicians Realty Trust (the “Trust” or the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on April 9, 2013. As of September 30, 2023, the Trust was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. The Trust filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Commission with respect to a proposed underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) and completed the IPO of its common shares and commenced operations on July 24, 2013.
 
The Trust contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Physicians Realty L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.
 
The Trust is a self-managed REIT formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage health care properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and health care delivery systems.

ATM Program

In May 2021, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2021 Sales Agreement”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. in their capacity as agents for the Company and/or forward sellers and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated in its capacity as sales agent for the Company (collectively, the “2021 Agents”) and Bank of Montreal, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investments Bank, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as forward purchasers for the Company (the “2021 Forward Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million through the 2021 Agents (the “2021 ATM Program”). The 2021 Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Trust’s common shares through the 2021 Agents, the Trust may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements from time to time in the future with each of the 2021 Forward Purchasers.

In August 2023, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2023 Sales Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated as sales agents for the Company and/or forward sellers (collectively, “2023 Agents”), and Bank of Montreal, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (collectively, “2023 Forward Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million through the 2023 Agents (the “2023 ATM Program”). The 2023 Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Trust’s common shares through the 2023 Agents, the Trust may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements from time to time in the future with each of the 2023 Forward Purchasers. Upon entry into the 2023 Sales Agreement, we terminated the 2021 ATM Program.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, the Trust issued and sold common shares through the 2021 ATM Program as follows (net proceeds in thousands):

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Trust’s 2022 Annual Report. The Company has consistently applied its accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own in entities that it controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interests and classifies such interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from the Company’s total shareholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Operating Partnership: Noncontrolling interests in the Company include partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held by other investors. Net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests (limited partners) based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Issuance of additional common shares and OP Units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions. 

As of September 30, 2023, the Trust held a 96.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Trust consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Partially Owned Properties: The Trust reflects noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties on the consolidated balance sheets for the portion of consolidated properties that are not wholly owned by the Company. The earnings or losses from those properties attributable to the noncontrolling interests are reflected as noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties in the consolidated statements of income.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Partially Owned Properties

In connection with the Company’s acquisitions of the outpatient medical facility, ambulatory surgery center, and hospital located on the Great Falls Hospital campus in Great Falls, Montana, physicians affiliated with the sellers retained non-controlling interests which were, at the holders’ option, able to be redeemed at any time after May 1, 2023. Due to the redemption provision, which was outside of the control of the Trust, the Trust classified the investment in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets. On July 14, 2022, the Company disposed of these three properties and removed the related redeemable noncontrolling interests from its consolidated balance sheets.

Through a consolidated joint venture with MedProperties Realty Advisors, LLC (“MedProperties”), the Company acquired Calko Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. As part of the joint venture, MedProperties can redeem its interest, at its option, at any time after September 9, 2025. Due to the redemption provision, which is outside of the control of the Company, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value.

Dividends and Distributions
 
On September 21, 2023, the Trust announced that its Board of Trustees authorized, and the Trust declared, a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The dividend was paid on October 17, 2023, to common shareholders and holders of record of OP Units as of the close of business on October 3, 2023.
 
10

Tax Status of Dividends and Distributions

The Company’s distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.

Any cash distributions received by an OP Unit holder in respect of its OP Units generally will not be taxable to such OP Unit holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that such distribution does not exceed the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units. Any such distribution will instead reduce the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units (and OP Unit holders will be subject to tax on the taxable income allocated to them by the Operating Partnership in respect of their OP Units when such income is earned by the Operating Partnership, with such income allocation increasing the OP Unit holders’ basis in their OP Units).

The Company has elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for certain of its corporate subsidiaries and, as a result, these entities will incur both federal and state income taxes on any taxable income of such entities after consideration of any net operating losses. To date, these income taxes have been de minimis.

Real Estate Loans Receivable, Net
 
Real estate loans receivable consists of nine mezzanine loans, three term loans, and two construction loans as of September 30, 2023. Generally, each mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, each term loan is secured by a mortgage on a related outpatient medical facility, and construction loans are secured by mortgages on the land and the improvements as constructed. The reserve for loan losses was $0.4 million as of September 30, 2023.

Rental and Related Revenues

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for leases may result in recognizing revenue for amounts more or less than amounts currently due from tenants. Amounts recognized in excess of amounts currently due from tenants are included in other assets and were approximately $105.0 million and $101.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not probable, income recognition is limited to the lesser of cash collected, or lease income reflected on a straight-line basis, plus variable rent when it becomes accruable.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, Topic 842, if the collectability of a lease changes after the commencement date, any difference between lease income that would have been recognized and the lease payments shall be recognized as an adjustment to lease income. Bad debt recognized as an adjustment to rental and related revenues was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Rental revenue is adjusted by the amortization of lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents on certain leases. Lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. Rental and related revenues also include expense recoveries, which relate to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses that are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded gross, as these costs are incurred by the Company and reimbursed by the tenants. The Company has certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses and the Company does not recognize expense recoveries.

Derivative Instruments

When the Company has derivative instruments, it records them either as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sale exception. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met or if the Company does not elect to apply for hedge accounting, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently in earnings. If hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument, the entire change in the fair value of its derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

11

To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and one interest rate swap that was de-designated as a hedging instrument during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 but remains outstanding. Further detail is provided in Note 7 (Derivatives).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 consolidated financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or any balance sheet total or subtotal.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional relief to applying reference rate reform to changing reference rates, contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this update may be applied through December 31, 2024.

On March 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as the reference rate for the purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. The Company also amended its fixed interest rate swap agreement on its mortgage debt to update the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. As a result, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients maintains the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Investment and Disposition Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company executed contractual commitments related to a $40.5 million development project, with $12.7 million spent on construction in progress thus far, completed the acquisition of three outpatient medical facilities and three medical condominium units for an investment of $38.5 million and two parcels of land adjacent to existing outpatient medical facilities for an investment of $1.7 million, and paid $2.2 million of additional purchase consideration under six earn-out agreements. The Company also closed on a $35.8 million construction loan, funding $10.7 million to date. Additionally, the Company funded an aggregate of $13.2 million on new term loans, previously announced loan commitments, and other investments, including an $1.3 million investment in IJRI Properties, LLC, which is an entity constructing and operating an outpatient medical facility in Indiana. The Company contributed $2.0 million to the joint venture with Davis Medical Investors, LLC (the “Davis Joint Venture”) to fund additional purchase consideration related to the venture’s acquisitions. Investment activity totaled approximately $81.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As part of these investments, the Company incurred approximately $2.0 million of capitalized acquisition costs.

Investment activity for the three months ended September 30, 2023, included the acquisition of one outpatient medical facility and a parcel of land adjacent to one of our existing properties for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million. Additionally, the Company funded an aggregate $5.9 million under two earn-out agreements, previously announced loan commitments, and other investments, including an $1.3 million investment in IJRI Properties, LLC, which is an entity constructing and operating an outpatient medical facility in Indiana. The Company also funded construction in progress of $7.4 million, resulting in total investment activity of approximately $16.8 million as of September 30, 2023.

The Company entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps for the full borrowing amount, fixing the SOFR component of this rate at 3.59%, and a current all-in fixed rate of 4.69%.

On September 24, 2021, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to September 24, 2025 and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings. The Credit Agreement included an unsecured revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion and contained a term loan feature of $250.0 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $1.25 billion. The Credit Agreement also included a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provided an accordion feature allowing the Operating Partnership to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.75 billion. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement also included two six-month extension options.

On March 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement which expanded the accordion feature allowing the Operating Partnership to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500.0 million, and replaced the LIBOR-based benchmark rates applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement with SOFR based benchmark rates plus a SOFR index adjustment of 0.10%.

On May 24, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which added a new $400.0 million unsecured term loan with a scheduled maturity date of May 24, 2028 and expanded the accordion feature, which allows the Operating Partnership to increase borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, for a maximum aggregate principal amount of all revolving commitments and term loans under the Credit Agreement of $1.9 billion. On the same day, the Operating Partnership borrowed $400.0 million under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to 1.10%, inclusive of a 0.10% SOFR index adjustment, plus Daily Simple SOFR as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company simultaneously entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps for the full borrowing amount under the term loan, fixing the Daily Simple SOFR component of the borrowing rate at 3.593%, for a current all-in fixed rate of 4.693%. Both the borrowing and the fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps have a maturity date of May 24, 2028.

As of September 30, 2023, the borrower had investment grade ratings of BBB from S&P and Baa2 from Moody’s. As such, borrowings under the revolving credit facility of the Credit Agreement accrue interest on the outstanding principal at a rate of SOFR plus 0.95%, inclusive of a 0.10% SOFR index adjustment. The Credit Agreement includes a facility fee equal to 0.20% per annum, which is also determined by the borrower’s investment grade rating.

Base Rate Loans, Adjusted SOFR Loans, and Letters of Credit (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be subject to interest rates, based upon the borrower’s investment grade rating as follows:

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that, among other things, require compliance with leverage and coverage ratios and maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as well as covenants that may limit the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, or make distributions. Subject to the restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the Company may voluntarily prepay any revolving or term loan under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part without premium or penalty. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Agreement.

Note 7. Derivatives

In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instruments are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair market values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income if such derivatives do not qualify for, or the Company does not elect to apply for, hedge accounting. As a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2019, the change in the fair value of our derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company de-designated an interest rate swap upon the repayment of the related debt instrument and reclassified the $1.8 million accumulated gain from other comprehensive income to earnings. This derivative instrument has a fair value of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2023, and is classified in other assets. Future changes in value on this derivative instrument, which matures on October 31, 2024, will be recorded directly in earnings.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for a further discussion of our derivatives. In

Note 9. Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Share-based payments classified as liability awards are marked to fair value at each reporting period. Any common shares issued pursuant to the Company's incentive equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans will result in the Operating Partnership issuing OP Units to the Trust on a one-for-one basis, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net cash proceeds of such issuances.
 
Certain of the Company’s employee stock awards vest only upon the achievement of performance targets. ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost only when achievement of performance conditions is considered probable. Consequently, the Company’s determination of the amount of stock compensation expense requires judgment in estimating the probability of achievement of these performance targets. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.

In connection with the IPO, the Trust adopted the Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, which made shares available for awards for participants (the “2013 Plan”). At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 3, 2023, shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2013 Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan increased the number of common shares authorized for issuance to a total of 11,000,000. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan also extended the term of the plan from 2029 to 2033, among other changes.

Restricted Common Shares

Restricted common shares granted under the 2013 Plan are eligible for dividends as well as the right to vote. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Trust granted a total of 342,939 restricted common shares with a total value of $5.0 million to its officers and certain of its employees, which have a vesting period of one to three years. In January 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted restricted common shares to certain of its officers under a salary deferral program, part of which vests after one year, with the remainder vesting after two years.

A summary of the status of the Trust’s non-vested restricted common shares as of September 30, 2023 and changes during the nine month period then ended follow:

For all service awards, the Company records compensation expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $3.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense on September 30, 2023 was $2.9 million.

Restricted Share Units

In January 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted 11,274 restricted share units to certain of its trustees in lieu of all or a portion of such trustee’s 2023 cash retainer. These units are subject to certain timing conditions and a one-year service period. Each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. Each recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend. With respect to the performance and timing conditions of the January 2023 grants, the grant date fair value of $14.47 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant.

In March 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted restricted share units at a target level of 355,388 to its officers and certain of its employees and 62,586 to its trustees. Units granted to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan are subject to certain performance and market conditions and a three-year service period. Units granted to trustees are subject to certain timing conditions and a two-year service period for full vesting. Each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. Each recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend.

Approximately 30% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan in 2023 vest based on a certain market condition. The awards containing the market condition were valued with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $18.71 per unit for the March 2023 grant using the following assumptions:
 
Volatility23.4 %
Dividend assumptionreinvested
Expected term in years2.83 years
Risk-free rate4.70 %
Share price (per share)$14.70 
 
The remaining 70% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan, and 100% of other restricted share units issued to trustees vest based upon certain performance or timing conditions. With respect to the performance and timing conditions of the March 2023 grants, the grant date fair value of $14.70 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant. The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the March 2023 restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees was $15.90 per unit.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires certain assets and liabilities be reported and/or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.
 
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability. As part of the Company’s acquisition process, Level 3 inputs are used to measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
The Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 consist of four interest rate swaps, of which three are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, as detailed in the Derivative Instruments section of Note 7 (Derivatives) and Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) of this report.

The interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs described above. The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivatives.
 
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. There were no such assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023.
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, payables, and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for real estate loans receivable and mortgage debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities and are based primarily on Level 2 inputs.

Note 11. Tenant Operating Leases
 
The Company is a lessor of outpatient medical facilities and other health care facilities. Leases have expirations from 2023 through 2042. As of September 30, 2023, the future minimum rental payments on non-cancelable leases, exclusive of expense recoveries and minimum rental payments for assets classified as held for sale, if applicable, were as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $134.5 million and $128.6 million, respectively, of rental and other lease-related income related to our operating leases, of which $39.8 million and $36.6 million, respectively, were variable lease payments. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $397.1 million and $385.8 million, respectively, of rental and other leased-related income with respect to our operating leases, of which $115.2 million and $107.5 million, respectively, were variable lease payments.
 
Note 12. Rent Expense
 
The Company leases the rights to parking structures at two of its properties, the air that one property occupies, and the land upon which 97 of its properties are located from third party landowners pursuant to separate leases. In addition, the Company has nine corporate leases, primarily for office space.

The Company’s leases include both fixed and variable rental payments and may also include escalation clauses and renewal options. These leases have terms of up to 92 years remaining, excluding extension options, with a weighted average remaining term of 43 years.

At the inception of a new lease, the Company establishes an operating or finance lease asset and operating or finance lease liability calculated as the present value of future minimum lease payments. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company calculates a discount rate that approximates its incremental borrowing rate available at lease commencement in order to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The approximated weighted average discount rate was 4.4% as of September 30, 2023. There are no operating or finance leases that have not yet commenced that would have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, the future minimum lease obligations under non-cancelable parking, air, ground, and corporate leases were as follows (in thousands):
2023$1,261

Note 15. Subsequent Events

On October 29, 2023, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Trust, the Operating Partnership, Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (“Healthpeak”), Alpine Sub, LLC (“Alpine Sub”) and Alpine OP Sub, LLC (“Alpine OP Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for (a) the merger of the Trust with and into Alpine Sub (the “Company Merger”), with Alpine Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthpeak (the “Company Surviving Entity”), (b) immediately following the effectiveness of the Company Merger, the contribution by Healthpeak to Healthpeak OP, LLC (“Healthpeak OP”), of all of the outstanding equity interests in the Company Surviving Entity (the “Contribution”) and (c) immediately following the Contribution, the merger of the Operating Partnership with and into Alpine OP Sub (the “Partnership Merger”), with Alpine OP Sub surviving as a subsidiary of Healthpeak OP (the “Partnership Surviving Entity”). The consummation of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including the approval of both the Trust’s and Healthpeak’s shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the date and time the Company Merger becomes effective (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each common share of the Trust (other than common shares to be canceled in accordance with the Merger Agreement), will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.674 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Healthpeak common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Healthpeak Common Stock”) (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, but subject to any withholding required under applicable tax laws. Holders of the Trust’s common shares will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Healthpeak Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, immediately after the Contribution and at the date and time the Partnership Merger becomes effective (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), each OP Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, will automatically be converted into and become a number of units in the Partnership Surviving Entity equal to the Exchange Ratio.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of Healthpeak and the Trust. The Trust has agreed to customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to carry on its
23

business in all material respects in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and to refrain from taking certain actions without Healthpeak’s consent. Healthpeak has agreed to customary pre-closing covenants, including a more limited set of covenants to refrain from taking certain actions without the Trust’s consent and to use commercially reasonable efforts to carry on its business in all material respects in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice. Each party has agreed to additional covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (i) the Trust’s obligation to call a meeting of its shareholders to approve the Company Merger, (ii) Healthpeak’s obligation to call a meeting of its stockholders to approve the Healthpeak Common Stock Issuance (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Parent Charter Amendment (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iii) each party’s non-solicitation obligations related to alternative acquisition proposals. Healthpeak’s board of directors and the Trust’s Board of Trustees each have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Mergers are expected to close during the first half of 2024.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Trust suspended the 2023 ATM Program.

Overview

We are a self-managed health care real estate company organized in April 2013 to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage health care properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and health care delivery systems. We invest in real estate that is integral to providing high quality health care services. Our properties are typically located on a campus with a hospital or other health care facilities or strategically affiliated with a hospital or other health care facilities. We believe the impact of government programs and continuing trends in the health care industry create attractive opportunities for us to invest in health care related real estate. In particular, we believe the demand for health care will continue to increase as a result of the aging population as older persons generally utilize health care services at a rate well in excess of younger people. Our management team has significant public health care REIT experience and has long-established relationships with physicians, hospitals, and health care delivery system decision makers that we believe will provide quality investment and growth opportunities. Our principal investments include outpatient medical facilities, outpatient treatment facilities, as well as other real estate integral to health care providers. In recent years, we have seen increased competition for health care properties, and we expect this trend to continue. We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders through a combination of stable and increasing dividends and potential long-term appreciation in the value of our properties and our common shares.

We grew our portfolio of gross real estate investments from approximately $124 million at the time of our IPO in July 2013 to approximately $5.9 billion as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 278 health care properties located in 32 states with approximately 15,644,254 net leasable square feet, which were approximately 95% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 5.3 years. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 91% of the net leasable square footage of our portfolio was either on the campus of a hospital or strategically affiliated with a health system.

We receive a cash rental stream from the health care providers under our leases. Approximately 93% of the annualized base rent payments from our properties as of September 30, 2023 were from absolute net and triple net leases, pursuant to which the tenants are responsible for operating expenses subject to specific lease terms relating to the property, including but not limited to real estate taxes, utilities, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, and property management. This structure helps insulate us from increases in certain operating expenses and provides more predictable cash flow. Approximately 6% of the ABR payments from our properties as of September 30, 2023 were from modified gross leases which allow us to pass through certain increases in future operating expenses (e.g., property tax and insurance) to tenants for reimbursement, thus protecting us from increases in such operating expenses.

We seek to structure our triple-net leases to generate attractive returns on a long-term basis. Our leases typically have initial terms of 5 to 15 years and include annual rent escalators of approximately 1.5% to 4.0%, with an annual weighted average rent escalator of approximately 2.4%. However, certain of the Company’s leases contain annual rent escalators indexed to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), often with a floor or ceiling. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 5.8% of the Company’s annual rent escalators had CPI provisions. Our operating results depend significantly upon the ability of our

tenants to make required rental payments. We believe that our portfolio of outpatient medical facilities and other health care facilities will enable us to generate stable cash flows over time because of the diversity of our tenants, staggered lease expiration schedule, long-term leases, and low historical occurrence of tenants defaulting under their leases. As of September 30, 2023, leases representing approximately 1.0%, 5.6%, and 6.9% of leased square feet will expire in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.

Subject to the restrictions in the Merger Agreement, we intend to grow our portfolio of high-quality outpatient medical facilities leased to physicians, hospitals, health care delivery systems, and other health care providers primarily through acquisitions of existing health care facilities that provide stable revenue growth and predictable long-term cash flows. We may also selectively finance, subject to the restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the development or redevelopment of new health care facilities through joint venture or fee arrangements with health care real estate developers or health system development professionals. Generally, we expect to make investments in new development properties when approximately 80% or more of the development property has been pre-leased before construction commences. We seek to invest in properties where we can develop strategic alliances with financially sound health care providers and health care delivery systems that offer need-based health care services in sustainable health care markets. We focus our investment activity on outpatient medical facilities and ambulatory surgery centers.

We believe that trends such as shifting consumer preferences, limited space in hospitals, the desire of patients and health care providers to limit non-essential services provided in a hospital setting, and cost considerations, continue to drive the industry towards performing more procedures in outpatient facilities versus the hospital setting. As these trends continue, we believe that demand for outpatient medical facilities and similar health care properties away from hospital settings and in convenient locations to patients will continue to rise. We intend to exploit this trend and seek outpatient properties consistent with our investment philosophy and strategies.

While not our focus, we may choose to invest opportunistically in life science facilities, senior housing properties, skilled nursing facilities, specialty hospitals, behavioral health facilities, and treatment centers. Consistent with our qualification as a REIT, we may also opportunistically invest in companies that provide health care services, and in joint venture entities with operating partners, structured to comply with the REIT Investment Diversification Act of 2007.

The Trust is a Maryland real estate investment trust and elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We conduct our business through an UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or other subsidiaries. The Trust is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2023, owned approximately 96.1% of the OP Units. As of October 27, 2023, there were 238,487,448 common shares outstanding.

Revenues
 
Total revenues increased $7.0 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. An analysis of selected revenues follows.
 
Rental and related revenues. Rental and related revenues increased $5.9 million, or 4.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Rental and related revenues were comprised of the following based upon contractual billing terms (in thousands):
20232022Change%
Rental revenues$94,744 $92,073 $2,671 2.9 %
Expense recoveries39,776 36,563 3,213 8.8 %
Rental and related revenues$134,520 $128,636 $5,884 4.6 %

Rental revenues increased $2.7 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Rental revenues increased $1.9 million from properties acquired in 2023 and 2022, and $1.0 million from our existing portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million related to properties sold in 2023 and 2022.

Expense recoveries increased $3.2 million, or 8.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Expense recoveries increased $2.4 million due to higher reimbursable operating expenses on our existing portfolio and $0.8 million from properties acquired in 2023 and 2022.

Interest income on real estate loans and other. Interest income on real estate loans and other increased $1.2 million, or 40.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income on real estate loans and other increased by $2.3 million due to interest earned on the remaining proceeds of $214.0 million from our $400.0 million term loan which was entered into in the second quarter of 2023. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million related to lower average real estate loan balances in 2023 compared to 2022, and $0.2 million of non-cash changes in the fair value of an interest rate swap.

Expenses
 
Total expenses increased $6.3 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. An analysis of selected expenses follows.
 
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.8 million, or 9.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense increased $6.5 million from the $400.0 million term loan executed on May 24, 2023, and $0.6 million from increasing interest rates on our variable mortgage debt. This growth was partially offset by a $1.8 million reduction due to the derecognition of an interest rate swap, $1.7 million of proceeds from the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps, and a decrease of $1.7 million due to lower debt balances on our credit facility.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 3.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower travel costs of $0.3 million.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $4.0 million, or 9.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Operating expenses on the existing portfolio increased by $3.1 million, or 7.1% quarter over quarter, mainly due to higher maintenance costs of $1.7 million and real estate taxes of $1.2 million. Operating expenses from properties acquired in 2023 and 2022 increased by $1.0 million.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.9 million, or 1.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.9 million for properties purchased in 2023 and 2022.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities. Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities increased $0.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to a decrease in revenue related to property dispositions within our unconsolidated joint venture portfolio and an increase in operating expenses.

Expenses
 
Total expenses increased by $19.8 million, or 5.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. An analysis of selected expenses follows.
 
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $7.5 million, or 14.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense increased $9.1 million from the $400.0 million term loan executed on May 24, 2023, and $3.2 million from increasing interest rates on our variable mortgage debt. These increases were partially offset by favorable effects of our interest rate swaps, including $1.8 million due to the de-designation of an interest rate swap.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 2.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increased professional fees of $0.8 million.
 
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $10.0 million, or 7.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Operating expenses on the existing portfolio increased by $7.5 million, or 5.9% year over year, mainly due to additional building maintenance costs of $4.3 million, property administration costs of $1.3 million, insurance expense of $1.1 million, and utility charges of $0.6 million. Net operating expenses from properties acquired in 2023 and 2022 also increased by $2.6 million.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million, or 1.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased $3.3 million for properties purchased in 2023 and 2022. These increases were partially offset by $1.0 million from properties sold during 2023 and 2022, and $0.6 million from our existing portfolio primarily due to fully amortized lease intangibles.

Equity in gain (loss) of unconsolidated entities. The $1.7 million change in equity in gain (loss) of unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to a $1.8 million gain on our share of the sale of two assets held within our unconsolidated joint venture portfolio.

Gain on sale of investment properties, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold one property in Pennsylvania containing 30,000 square feet for approximately $2.6 million, realizing an insignificant gain. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold five properties with 212,295 net leasable square feet in three states for approximately $124.7 million, recognizing a net gain of $57.4 million.

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $205.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $202.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $3.6 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the timing of payment on our tenant receivables and accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities was $64.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $41.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $23.0 million. The change in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the decrease in proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $120.6 million and an increase of net cash spent on the development of real estate and capital expenditures of $14.0 million. This was partially offset by less cash spent on the acquisition of investments of $81.6 million, additional returns on our investment in unconsolidated entities of $3.7 million, and net real estate loan payoffs which provided an increase in cash of $26.0 million.
30


Cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities was $46.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $168.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, representing a change of $214.9 million. The change in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from credit facility borrowings of $274.0 million, an increase in the sale of common shares pursuant to the ATM Program of $34.5 million, an increase in contributions from noncontrolling interests of $7.6 million, a decrease of distributions to noncontrolling interests of $1.4 million, and a decrease in the purchase of OP Units of $2.3 million. These sources of cash were partially offset by an increase in paydowns under the credit facility of $55.0 million, the repayment of senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt of $36.0 million, an increase of dividends paid to shareholders of $8.6 million, an increase in debt issuance costs of $3.8 million, and an increase of $1.6 million for payments of employee taxes withheld for stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
This report includes Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Normalized FFO, Normalized Funds Available For Distribution (“FAD”), Net Operating Income (“NOI”), Cash NOI, Outpatient Medical Same-Store Cash NOI, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this report, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”), we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

FFO and Normalized FFO
 
We believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP units, excluding preferred distributions, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment write-downs on depreciable assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). Our FFO computation includes our share of required adjustments from our unconsolidated joint ventures and may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition or that interpret the Nareit definition differently than we do. The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, impairments, and noncontrolling interests. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from the operations of our properties. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in our financial statements. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered to be an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

We use Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, acceleration of deferred financing costs, net change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other normalizing items. Our Normalized FFO computation includes our share of required adjustments from our unconsolidated joint ventures and our use of the term Normalized FFO may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance or of cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Normalized FAD

We define Normalized FAD, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes from Normalized FFO non-cash share compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above-market or below-market leases and assumed debt, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of deferred financing costs, and loan reserve adjustments, including our share of all required adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures. We also adjust for recurring capital expenditures related to building, site, and tenant improvements, leasing commissions, cash payments from seller master leases, and rent abatement payments, including our share of all required adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Other REITs or real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Normalized FAD, and accordingly, our computation may not be comparable to those reported by other REITs. Although our computation of Normalized FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe Normalized FAD provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance due to its frequency of use by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance as a REIT. Normalized FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss attributable to controlling interest (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our financial performance. Normalized FAD should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

NOI, Cash NOI, and Outpatient Medical Same-Store Cash NOI
 
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income or loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from our total portfolio of properties and other investments before general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, corporate high yield interest income, swap income, net change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment losses, including our share of all required adjustments from our unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
 
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from NOI straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above and below market leases, and other non-cash and normalizing items, including our share of all required adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures. Other non-cash and normalizing items include items such as the amortization of lease inducements, loan reserve adjustments, payments received from seller master leases and rent abatements, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. We believe that Cash NOI provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because it excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. Our use of the term Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

Outpatient Medical Same-Store Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes from Cash NOI assets not held for the entire preceding five quarters, non-outpatient medical facility assets, and other normalizing items not specifically related to the same-store property portfolio. Management considers Outpatient Medical Same-Store Cash NOI a supplemental measure because it allows investors, analysts, and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. Our use of the term Outpatient Medical Same-Store Cash NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as such other companies may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre
 
We calculate EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by Nareit and define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, corporate high yield interest income, swap income, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment loss, including our share of all required adjustments from unconsolidated joint ventures. We define Adjusted EBITDAre, which excludes from EBITDAre non-cash share compensation expense, non-cash changes in fair value, pursuit costs, non-cash intangible amortization, corporate high yield interest income, the pro forma impact of investment activity, and other normalizing items. We consider EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating and interest expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including:
 
property expenses;
interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;
general and administrative expenses; and
capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
 
In addition, we will require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common shareholders and OP Unit holders in our Operating Partnership.
 
As of September 30, 2023, we had a total of $195.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion of near-term availability on our unsecured revolving credit facility. Our primary sources of cash include rent we collect from our tenants, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, and financing of debt and equity securities. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, and borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund any existing contractual obligations to purchase properties and other obligations through the next year. However, because of the 90% distribution requirement under the REIT tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code, we may not be able to fund all of our future capital needs from cash retained from operations, including capital needed to make investments and to satisfy or refinance maturing obligations. As a result, we expect to rely upon external sources of capital, including debt and equity financing, to fund future capital needs. If we are unable to obtain needed capital on satisfactory terms or at all, we may not be able to make the investments needed to expand our business or to meet our obligations and commitments as they mature. We will rely upon external sources of capital to fund future capital needs, and, if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future acquisitions necessary to grow our business or meet maturing obligations.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, unsecured borrowings, issuances of equity and debt securities, proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP Units of our Operating Partnership.

35

Our ability to access capital in a timely and cost-effective manner is essential to the success of our business strategy as it affects our ability to satisfy existing obligations, including repayment of maturing indebtedness, and to make future investments and acquisitions. Factors such as general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt and equity securities, expectations of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the market price of our common shares, each of which are beyond our control and vary or fluctuate over time, all impact our access to and cost of capital. In particular, to the extent interest rates continue to rise, we may continue to experience a decline in the trading price of our common shares, which may impact our decision to conduct equity offerings for capital raising purposes. We have experienced and will likely continue to experience higher borrowing costs as interest rates rise, which may also impact our decisions to incur additional indebtedness, or to engage in transactions that we may need to fund through borrowing. We expect to continue to utilize equity and debt financing to support our future growth and investment activity.

We also continuously evaluate opportunities to finance future investments. New investments are generally funded from temporary borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility and the proceeds from financing transactions such as those discussed above. Our investments generate cash from net operating income and principal payments on loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which generally replaces funds drawn under our primary unsecured credit facility, has historically been provided through a combination of the issuance of debt and equity securities and the incurrence or assumption of secured debt.
 
We intend to invest in additional properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We are currently evaluating additional potential investments consistent with the normal course of our business. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any portion of these investments will be completed. Our ability to complete investments is subject to a number of risks and variables, including our ability to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with sellers and our ability to finance the investment. We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions or investment opportunities, which may impede our growth and negatively affect our results of operations and may result in the use of a significant amount of management’s resources. We expect that future investments in properties will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, borrowings, including under our unsecured revolving credit facility, or the proceeds from additional issuances of equity or debt securities.

We currently do not expect to sell any of our properties to meet our liquidity needs, although we may do so in the future. 

We currently are in compliance with all debt covenants on our outstanding indebtedness.

The foregoing discussion regarding the Company’s liquidity and capital resources is subject to applicable restrictions in the Merger Agreement.

Credit Facility

On September 24, 2021, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to September 24, 2025 and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings. The Credit Agreement includes an unsecured revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion and contains a term loan feature of $250.0 million, which the Company borrowed on, bringing total borrowing capacity to $1.25 billion. The Credit Agreement also includes a swingline loan commitment for up to 10% of the maximum principal amount and provides an accordion feature allowing the Trust to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.75 billion. On October 13, 2021, the Company paid off the $250.0 million term loan feature of the Credit Agreement and the term loan feature is no longer available to the Company. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement also includes two six-month extension options.

On March 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement which expanded the accordion feature allowing the Operating Partnership to increase borrowing capacity by up to an additional $500.0 million, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $2.25 billion, and replaced the LIBOR-based benchmark rates applicable to borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement with SOFR based benchmark rates.

On May 24, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which added a new $400.0 million unsecured term loan with a scheduled maturity date of May 24, 2028, expanded the accordion feature, and allows the Operating Partnership to increase borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, for a maximum aggregate
36

principal amount of all revolving commitments and term loans under the Credit Agreement of $1.9 billion. On the same day, the Operating Partnership borrowed $400.0 million under the five-year term loan feature of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the term loan feature of the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate which is determined by the Trust’s credit rating, currently equal to 1.10%, inclusive of a 0.10% SOFR index adjustment, plus Daily Simple SOFR. The Company simultaneously entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps for the full borrowing amount under the term loan, fixing the Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) component of the borrowing rate to 3.593%, for an all-in fixed rate of 4.693%. Both the borrowing and the fixed-for-floating rate swaps have a maturity date of May 24, 2028. A portion of the proceeds from the term loan were used to repay all amounts outstanding on the unsecured revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility or the $500.0 million accordion feature, as defined by the Credit Agreement. Of the aggregate $1.9 billion available under the Credit Agreement, the Company had $400.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan feature as of September 30, 2023. See Note 6 (Debt) to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our credit facility.

Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued and outstanding by the Operating Partnership, comprised of $25.0 million maturing in 2025, $70.0 million maturing in 2026, $425.0 million maturing in 2027, $395.0 million maturing in 2028, and $545.0 million maturing in 2031. See Note 6 (Debt) to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our senior notes.

ATM Program
 
In May 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 Sales Agreement, pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million. In accordance with the 2021 Sales Agreement, the Trust may offer and sell its common shares through the 2021 Agents, from time to time, by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or other existing trading market, or sales made to or through a market maker.

In August 2023, the Company entered into the 2023 Sales Agreement, pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million. In accordance with the 2023 Sales Agreement, the Trust may offer and sell its common shares through the 2023 Agents, from time to time, by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or other existing trading market, or sales made to or through a market maker. Upon entry into the 2023 Sales Agreement, the Company terminated the 2021 ATM Program. As of September 30, 2023, the Trust has $600.0 million remaining available under the 2023 ATM Program. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Trust suspended the 2023 ATM Program.

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
 
In December 2014, the Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”). Under the DRIP:

existing shareholders may purchase additional common shares by reinvesting all or a portion of the dividends paid on their common shares and by making optional cash payments of not less than $50 and up to a maximum of $10,000 per month;
new investors may join the DRIP by making an initial investment of not less than $1,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000; and
once enrolled in the DRIP, participants may authorize electronic deductions from their bank account for optional cash payments to purchase additional shares.
 
The DRIP is administered by our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Our common shares sold under the DRIP are newly issued or purchased in the open market, as further described in the DRIP. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had issued 231,183 common shares under the DRIP since its inception.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report are prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information set forth in the ASC, as published by the FASB, which require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our 2022 Annual Report for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
 
REIT Qualification Requirements
 
We are subject to a number of operational and organizational requirements necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT or fail to remain qualified as a REIT in any taxable year, our income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and potentially increased state and local taxes and we could incur substantial tax liabilities which could have an adverse impact upon our results of operations, liquidity, and distributions to our shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2023, we have investments in two unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests of 46.5% and 12.3%, respectively. The aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partners’ share, incurred by these ventures was approximately $766.2 million (of which our proportionate share is approximately $141.5 million). See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) of Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of our 2022 Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources.

Item 3.                                 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Our future income, cash flows, and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. Our derivative instruments consist of four interest rate swaps of which three are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 7 (Derivatives) and Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further detail on our interest rate swaps.

Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our consolidated financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Fixed Interest Rate Debt

As of September 30, 2023, our consolidated fixed interest rate debt totaled $1.5 billion, which represented 74.6% of our total consolidated debt, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. We entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps for the full borrowing amount of our $400.0 million term loan, fixing the Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) component of the borrowing rate to 3.593%, for an all-in fixed rate as of September 30, 2023 of 4.693%. Both the borrowing and the fixed-for-floating rate swaps have a maturity date of May 24, 2028.

Assuming the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, our fixed interest rate debt would represent 94.7% of our total consolidated debt. Interest rate fluctuations on our fixed interest rate debt will generally not affect our future earnings or
38

cash flows unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt.

As of September 30, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated fixed interest rate debt were approximately $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The fair value estimate of our fixed interest rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on September 30, 2023. As we expect to hold our fixed interest rate debt instruments to maturity, based on the underlying structure of the debt instrument, and the amounts due under such instruments are limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed interest rate debt instruments, would have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.

Variable Interest Rate Debt

As of September 30, 2023, our consolidated variable interest rate debt totaled $504.8 million, which represented 25.4% of our total consolidated debt. Assuming the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, our variable interest rate debt would represent 5.3% of our total consolidated debt. Interest rate changes on our variable rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows but would not significantly affect the fair value of such debt. As of September 30, 2023, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $104.8 million of consolidated borrowings. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if PRIME and SOFR were to change by 100 basis points, total interest expense on our variable rate debt as of September 30, 2023 would change by approximately $1.0 million annually.

Derivative Instruments

As of September 30, 2023, we had four outstanding interest rate swaps of which three are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $436.1 million. See Note 7 (Derivatives) within our consolidated financial statements for further detail on our interest rate swaps. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to our interest rate swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the agreements. If we were not able to replace the swaps in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, we would be subject to variability of the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our debt that is fixed through the use of the swap.
 
Indebtedness
 
As of September 30, 2023, we had total consolidated indebtedness of approximately $2.0 billion. The weighted average interest rate on our consolidated indebtedness was 4.07% (based on the 30-day SOFR rate of 5.31% and a PRIME rate of 8.50% as of September 30, 2023). As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $104.8 million, or approximately 5.3%, of our outstanding long-term debt exposed to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. See Note 6 (Debt) to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 to this report for a summary of our indebtedness as of September 30, 2023.

Item 4.                                 Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Trust’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2023, the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information it is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Trust’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Trust’s system of internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.

39

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II.       Other Information

Item 1.                                 Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations if determined adversely to us.
 
Item 1A.                       Risk Factors

Information on risk factors can be found in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report, other than risks related to the Mergers and the Merger Agreement set forth below.

Risks Related to the Mergers

The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the stock prices of either Healthpeak or the Trust.

Upon the closing of the Company Merger, each outstanding common share of the Trust (other than common shares to be canceled in accordance with the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive 0.674 shares of Healthpeak common stock, without interest, but subject to any withholding required under applicable tax law, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. The Exchange Ratio was fixed in the Merger Agreement and, except for certain adjustments on account of changes in the capitalization of Healthpeak or the Trust, will not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of shares of Healthpeak common stock or the Trust common shares. Changes in the market price of shares of Healthpeak common stock prior to the closing of the Company Merger will affect the market value of the Merger Consideration that the Trust shareholders will be entitled to receive upon completion of the Company Merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond the control of either Healthpeak or the Trust), including the following factors:

market reaction to the announcement of the Mergers and the prospects of the combined company;
changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of Healthpeak, the Trust or the combined company;
changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of Healthpeak, the Trust or the combined company;
market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will close;
interest rates (including changes or anticipated changes in interest rates), general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of Healthpeak common stock and the Trust common shares;
federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which Healthpeak or the Trust operate; and
other factors beyond the control of either Healthpeak or the Trust, including those described or referred to elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.

The market price of shares of Healthpeak common stock at the closing of the Mergers may vary from its price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, on the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, on the date of the Healthpeak special meeting and on the date of the Trust special meeting.

If the market price of shares of Healthpeak common stock increases between the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the Healthpeak special meeting or the date of the Trust special meeting and the date of the closing of the Mergers, the Trust shareholders could receive shares of Healthpeak common stock that have a market value upon completion of the Mergers 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 joint proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the Healthpeak special meeting or the date of the Trust special meeting, respectively. Conversely, if the market price of shares of Healthpeak common stock declines between the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the Healthpeak special meeting or the date of the Trust special meeting and the closing of the Mergers, the Trust shareholders could receive shares of Healthpeak common stock that have a market value upon the closing of the Mergers 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 joint proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the Healthpeak special meeting or the date of the Trust special meeting, respectively. Furthermore, at the time of the Healthpeak special meeting and the Trust special meeting, Healthpeak stockholders and the Trust shareholders will not know with certainty the value of the Healthpeak common stock that the Trust shareholders will receive upon completion of the Mergers.
41


Therefore, while the number of shares of Healthpeak common stock to be issued per the Trust common share is fixed, Healthpeak stockholders and the Trust shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Merger Consideration the Trust shareholders will receive upon the closing of the Mergers.

Completion of the Mergers is subject to many conditions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Mergers will not be completed, which could result in a requirement that the Trust pay certain termination fees.

The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the receipt of approval from the Trust’s shareholders; (ii) the receipt of approval from Healthpeak’s stockholders; (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Commission by the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of Healthpeak Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers or reserved for issuance in connection therewith; (v) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or judgment being in effect enjoining, preventing, restraining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers; (vi) no law having been enacted, issued, entered, promulgated or enforced by any governmental authority being in effect which would have the effect of enjoining, preventing, restraining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers; (vii) accuracy of each party’s representations, subject in most cases to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) qualifications; (viii) material compliance with each party’s covenants; (ix) absence of a Material Adverse Effect on either Healthpeak or the Trust; (x) receipt by each of Healthpeak and the Trust of an opinion to the effect that the Company Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and (xi) receipt by Healthpeak of an opinion that the Trust qualifies as a REIT under the Code and receipt by the Trust of an opinion that Healthpeak qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the Mergers will be satisfied or waived or that the Mergers will be completed. Failure to consummate the Mergers may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and business prospects for the following reasons, among others: (i) the Company has incurred and will incur certain transaction costs, regardless of whether the proposed Mergers close, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders; and (ii) the proposed Mergers, whether or not they close, will divert the attention of certain of the Company’s management and other key employees from ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to the Company. In addition, the Trust or Healthpeak may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other reasons, if the Mergers are not completed by July 31, 2024.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, the Trust may be required to pay Healthpeak a termination fee of $111 million, or the maximum amount that can be paid to Healthpeak without causing it to fail to meet its REIT requirement for such year, and/or reimburse Healthpeak’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $20 million, or Healthpeak may be required to pay the Trust a termination fee of $365 million, or the maximum amount that can be paid to Healthpeak without causing it to fail to meet its REIT requirement for such year, and/or reimburse the Trust’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $20 million. If the Mergers are not consummated, the price of the Trust common shares might decline.

Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively impact the stock prices and the future business and financial results of the Trust.

If the Mergers are not completed, the ongoing business of the Trust could be materially adversely affected and without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Mergers, the Trust will be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Mergers, including the following:

the market price of the Trust common shares could decline;
the Trust being required, under certain circumstances, to pay to Healthpeak a termination fee of $111 million depending on the circumstances and/or reimburse Healthpeak’s reasonable expenses up to $20 million, as applicable;
if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Board of Trustees seeks another business combination, the Trust shareholders cannot be certain that the Trust will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that Healthpeak and the Trust have agreed to in the Merger Agreement;
the Trust may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or its tenants, property managers or employees;
the Trust having to pay certain costs relating to the Mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees whether or not the Mergers are completed; and
diversion of the Company’s management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Mergers.

42

If the Mergers are not completed, these risks could materially affect the business, financial results and price of the common shares of the Trust. In addition, if the Mergers are not completed, the Trust could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Mergers or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against the Trust to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact the Company’s ongoing business.

The pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect the business and operations of the Company.

Prior to the effective time of the Mergers, some tenants, prospective tenants or property managers of the Company may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively affect the revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses of the Company, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. In addition, under our ground leases, certain hospitals or health systems could exercise purchase rights and rights of first offer and first refusal with respect to sales of the property subject to the ground lease. Similarly, current and prospective employees of the Company may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the Mergers, which may materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Mergers. Further, due to operating restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the Mergers, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could make it difficult for a third party to acquire all or a significant portion of the Trust prior to the Mergers.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Trust has agreed not to (i) solicit proposals relating to certain alternative transactions, (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations or provide non-public information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction from a third party or (iii) approve or enter into any agreements providing for any such alternative transaction, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, including to permit members of the Board of Trustees to comply with their duties under applicable law. Notwithstanding these “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the Trust shareholder approval, under specified circumstances the Board of Trustees may change its recommendation of the transaction, and the Trust may also terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal upon payment of the termination fee described below.

The Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Trust may be required to pay to Healthpeak a termination fee of $111 million and/or reimburse Healthpeak’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $20 million. These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Trust from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the Mergers, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share value than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Trust determines to seek another business combination, the Trust may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

If the Mergers are not consummated by July 31, 2024, either Healthpeak or the Trust may terminate the Merger Agreement.

Either Healthpeak or the Trust may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Mergers have not been consummated by July 31, 2024. However, this termination right will not be available to a party whose material breach of any provision of the Merger Agreement was the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Mergers to occur on or before July 31, 2024.

If the Company Merger does not qualify as a reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.

The Company Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is a condition to the completion of the Mergers that Healthpeak and the Trust receive written opinions from their respective counsel to the effect that the Company Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The foregoing opinions, however, are limited to the factual representations provided by Healthpeak and the Trust to counsel and the assumptions set forth therein, and are not a guarantee that the Company Merger will, in fact, qualify as a reorganization. Furthermore, such opinions are not binding on the IRS. Neither the Trust nor Healthpeak has requested or plans to request a ruling from the IRS that the Company Merger qualifies as a reorganization. If the Company Merger were to fail to qualify as a reorganization, then each United States holder of the Trust common shares generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the shares of Healthpeak common stock and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Healthpeak common stock received by such holder in the Company Merger; and (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Trust common shares.

43

An adverse outcome in any litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, could have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Transactions like the Mergers are frequently the subject of litigation, shareholder demands, or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that either party’s board of directors breached their respective duties to their shareholders or other equity holders by entering into the Merger Agreement, by failing to obtain a greater value in the transaction for their stockholders or other equity holders or otherwise, or any other claims (contractual or otherwise) arising out of the Mergers or the transactions related thereto. 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 the parties’ ability to consummate the Mergers in a timely manner, or at all, or their respective business, results of operation or financial position, including through the possible diversion of either company’s resources or distraction of key personnel.

Risks Related to the Combined Company Following the Mergers

The combined company expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Mergers.

The combined company expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the Mergers and integrating the operations and systems of the Trust with those of Healthpeak. There are a number of factors that could affect the total amount or the timing of the combined company’s expenses relating to the completion of the Mergers and the combined company’s operations. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the expenses associated with the Mergers could, particularly in the near term, reduce the savings that the combined company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings related to the integration of the operations of the Trust following the completion of the Mergers.

Following the Mergers, the combined company may be unable to integrate the operations of Healthpeak and the Company successfully and realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Mergers or do so within the anticipated time frame.

The Mergers involve the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies and their respective operating partnerships. The combined company is expected to benefit from the elimination of duplicative costs associated with supporting a public company platform. However, the combined company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the operations of Healthpeak and the Trust. Potential difficulties the combined company may encounter in the integration process include the following:

the inability to successfully combine the operations of Healthpeak and the Trust, including, among other things, the integration of employees, customer and tenant records in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the synergies anticipated to result from the Mergers, which would result in the anticipated benefits of the Mergers not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
the inability to dispose of former Company assets or operations that the combined company desires to dispose of;
the complexities associated with managing the combined businesses out of different locations and integrating personnel from the two companies;
the failure to retain key employees of either of the two companies;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the Mergers; and
performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the Mergers and integrating the companies’ operations.

For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of the combined company’s management, the disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in the combined company’s operations, services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of the combined company to maintain relationships with tenants, property managers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, or could otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

The market price and trading volume of the combined company common stock may be volatile or may decline as a result of the Mergers.

The combined company’s common stock may experience significant price and volume fluctuations, and investors in shares of the combined company common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to the combined company’s operating performance or prospects. We cannot assure you that the market price of the combined company common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.

44

In addition, upon consummation of the Mergers, Healthpeak stockholders and the Trust shareholders will own interests in a combined company operating an expanded business with a different mix of properties, risks and liabilities. Current Healthpeak stockholders and the Trust shareholders may not wish to continue to invest in the combined company, or for other reasons may wish to dispose of some or all of their shares of the combined company common stock. If, following the Company Merger Effective Time, large amounts of the combined company common stock are sold, the price of the combined company common stock could decline.

The combined company may incur adverse tax consequences if Healthpeak or the Trust has failed or fails to qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes.

The Trust has operated in a manner that it believes has allowed it to qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes under the Code and intends to continue to do so through the closing date or the Company Merger Effective Time, respectively. The combined company intends to continue operating in such a manner following the Mergers. The closing of the Mergers is conditioned on the receipt by Healthpeak of an opinion of the Trust’s counsel to the effect that, commencing with the Trust’s taxable year ended December 31, 2015 and through the Company Merger Effective Time, the Trust has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and on the receipt by the Trust of an opinion of Healthpeak’s counsel to the effect that, commencing with Healthpeak’s taxable year ended December 31, 2015, Healthpeak has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and Healthpeak’s proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for its taxable year that includes the Company Merger Effective Time and future taxable years. The foregoing REIT opinions, however, are limited to the factual representations provided by Healthpeak and the Trust to counsel and the assumptions set forth therein, and are not a guarantee that Healthpeak or the Trust has, in fact, qualified, or that the combined company will continue to qualify, as a REIT. Moreover, such opinions are not binding on the IRS, and neither Healthpeak nor the Trust has requested or plans to request a ruling from the IRS that it or the combined company qualifies as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable regulations (as in effect from time to time) of the United States Department of the Treasury under the Code is greater in the case of a REIT, like Healthpeak and the Trust, that holds assets through a partnership. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within Healthpeak’s and the Trust’s control may affect their ability to qualify as REITs.

In order to qualify as a REIT, each of Healthpeak and the Trust must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of its stock and the composition of its gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make distributions to stockholders annually equal, in the aggregate, to at least 90% of its net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains.

If Healthpeak or the Trust (or, following the Mergers, the combined company) loses its REIT status, or is determined to have lost its REIT status in a prior year, it will face material tax consequences that would substantially reduce its cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends to its stockholders, because:

it would be subject to United States federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates for the years it did not qualify for taxation as a REIT (and, for such years, would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing its taxable income);
it could be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes for such periods;
unless it is entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither it nor any “successor” company (including, potentially, the combined company) could elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which it was disqualified; and
for five years following re-election of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such re-election, it could be subject to corporate level tax with respect to any built-in gain inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.

Even if Healthpeak (or, following the Mergers, the combined company) retains its REIT status, if the Trust is determined to have lost its REIT status for a taxable year ending on or before the Company Merger, the Trust would be subject to adverse tax consequences similar to those described above. This could substantially reduce the combined company’s cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends to its stockholders, because, assuming that the combined company otherwise maintains its REIT qualification:

the combined company generally would be subject to corporate level tax with respect to the built-in gain on each asset of the Trust existing at the time of the Company Merger if the combined company were to dispose of the Trust asset during the five-year period following the Company Merger;
the combined company would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by the Trust for taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and the combined company would have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable
45

deficiency dividend procedures (including interest payments to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits (or if the combined company does not timely distribute those earnings and profits, the combined company could fail to qualify as a REIT); and
if the Trust incurred any unpaid tax liabilities prior to the Company Merger, those tax liabilities would be transferred to the combined company as a result of the Company Merger.

If there is an adjustment to the Trust’s taxable income or dividends paid deductions, the combined company could elect to use the deficiency dividend procedure in order to maintain the Trust’s REIT status. That deficiency dividend procedure could require the combined company to make significant distributions to its stockholders and to pay significant interest to the IRS.

As a result of all these factors, Healthpeak’s or the Trust’s (or, following the Mergers, the combined company’s) failure to qualify as a REIT could impair the combined company’s ability to expand its business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the value of its capital stock.

Exhibit 10.11
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
PHYSICIANS REALTY TRUST
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
1.Grant of Award. Pursuant to the Physicians Realty Trust Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for Employees, Consultants, and Outside Trustees of Physicians Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), the Company grants to
__________________
(the “Participant”)
an Award of Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan. The number of Restricted Share Units awarded under this Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is _____ units (the “Awarded Units”). Each Restricted Share Unit represents the right to receive one Common Share if the Restricted Share Unit becomes vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement. The “Date of Grant” of this Award is __________________. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Share Units or the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units unless and until the Restricted Share Units become vested and nonforfeitable and such Common Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. The Participant is not required to pay any cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Share Units.
2.Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control; provided that, in the event of any conflict among this Agreement, the Plan and an Employment Agreement in effect between the Company and the Participant (the “Employment Agreement”), the terms of the Employment Agreement shall control to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Share Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or in any non-vesting of any Restricted Share Units that otherwise would occur under the terms of the standard vesting provisions contained in Sections 3 and 4(b) and (c) of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.
3.Vesting. The Participant’s rights and interest in the Awarded Units shall vest as set forth in Exhibit A.
4.Forfeiture of Awarded Units.
a.In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, or the Employment Agreement (if applicable), Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) that are not vested in accordance with Section 3 shall be forfeited on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights and interest with respect to the forfeited Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.



b.Death or Total and Permanent Disability. In the event that the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to death or Total and Permanent Disability at a time that the Participant’s Awarded Units have not yet vested, all such Awarded Units shall vest in full at the target level of achievement.
c.Retirement. In the event that the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to Retirement and the Participant has provided the Company with at least twelve months’ advance written notice of the Participant’s Retirement date (unless the notice period is waived by the Committee in its sole discretion) and has remained in employment in good standing until the Participant’s Retirement date, then a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s Awarded Units shall not be forfeited but shall remain unvested until such time as such Awarded Units would otherwise have become vested in accordance with Section 3 (disregarding, for purposes of this Section 4(c), the requirement of continued service as specified in Sections 3 and 4(a)) based on the actual level of the performance goal achieved. Such pro-rata portion of the Awarded Units will be calculated by multiplying the total number of Awarded Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the Date of Grant through the date of Termination of Service (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued, and subject to the preceding limitations on the number of related Common Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 300% of the related Common Shares), any fractional Common Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Common Share. Any Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) that were unvested at the date of Termination of Service and that exceed the pro-rata portion of the Awarded Units calculated under this Section 4(c) shall be forfeited.
5.Restrictions on Transfer of Awarded Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, margin, assign or otherwise encumber any of the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, and the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Participant will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Awarded Units upon the death of the Participant, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Committee. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.
6.Timing and Manner of Settlement of Awarded Units.
a.Settlement Timing. The timing of settlement of Awarded Units is set forth in Exhibit B.
b.Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Common Shares in settlement of Awarded Units by either delivering certificates representing such Common Shares to the Participant (if requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the Plan and the Company has elected, in its sole discretion, to issue certificates (as opposed to electronic book entry form with respect to its Common Shares)) or by registering the
2


Common Shares in the Participant’s name. In no event will the Company issue fractional Common Shares.
c.Effect of Settlement. Neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Awarded Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Participant or beneficiary of a Participant shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Shares was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Common Shares and related dividend equivalents).
7.Legend. The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Shares issued under the Plan if the Common Shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:
“Common Shares represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”
8.Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that Common Shares are issued in settlement of Awarded Units, the Participant will accrue dividend equivalents equal to the cash dividend or distributions during that period that would have been paid had the Awarded Unit been an issued and outstanding Common Share. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Awarded Units to which they relate; (ii) will be payable with respect to the total number of Awarded Units that become vested and nonforfeitable; and (iii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 22 of this Agreement).
9.Adjustment to Number of Awarded Units. The number of Awarded Units shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 through 13 of the Plan. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Participant under Section 8 in connection with such transaction or event. Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Awarded Units prior to the adjustment.

10.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.
11.Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for the Participant’s review by the Company and represents that the Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) sales of Common Shares delivered in settlement of the Awarded Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees, Consultants and Outside Trustees, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Common Shares are not permitted, and (ii) Common Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy applied with prospective or retroactive effect.
12.Law Governing.

a.Notice to the Company shall be addressed and delivered as follows:
Physicians Realty Trust
309 N. Water Street, Suite 500
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53202
Attn: Corporate Secretary
Fax: (414) 249-4720
Notice to the Participant shall be addressed and delivered as set forth on the signature page.
22.Tax Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult immediately with the Participant’s own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement. The Company or, if applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 22, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include any applicable Subsidiary) shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash or other form in connection with the Plan, any federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with this Award. The Company may, in its sole discretion, also require the Participant receiving Common Shares in settlement of Awarded Units pay the Company the amount of any taxes that
5


the Company is required to withhold in connection with the Participant’s income arising with respect to this Award. Such payments shall be required to be made when requested by the Company and may be required to be made prior to the delivery of any certificate representing Common Shares, if such certificate is requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the Plan. Such payment may be made (i) by the delivery of cash to the Company in an amount that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax withholding obligations of the Company; (ii) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, the actual delivery by the Participant to the Company of Common Shares, other than (A) Restricted Shares, or (B) Common Shares that the Participant has acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior thereto, which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax withholding payment; (iii) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, the Company’s withholding of a number of shares to be delivered upon the vesting of this Award, which shares so withheld have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals (but does not exceed) the required tax withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), or (iii); provided, however, if the Participant is a Reporting Person, then the Company will withhold in shares as provided in (iii) hereof, unless otherwise approved in advance by the Committee. The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold any such taxes from any other cash remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Participant.
23.REIT Status. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust.
24.Unfunded Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Participant to the Participant’s Awarded Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Participant any right to or claim against any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Participant. With respect to the Participant’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company.
25.Code Section 409A. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”). Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 25 will apply in order that the Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company and the Committee reserve the right, to the extent the Company or the Committee deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Awarded Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) for any
6


taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A. The settlement of Awarded Units that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A (“409A Awarded Units”) may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate the vesting of 409A Awarded Units, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A Awarded Units. In the case of any settlement of 409A Awarded Units during a specified period following any date triggering a right to settlement, the Participant shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A, (ii) is payable upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death, and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Termination of Service, such payment shall be delayed and paid to the Participant on the day that is six months and one day following the Participant’s Termination of Service or, if earlier, within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death.

2.Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control; provided that, in the event of any conflict among this Agreement, the Plan and the governing Employment Agreement between the Company and the Participant as of the Date of Grant (the “Employment Agreement”), to the extent that the Participant and the Company have entered into such an agreement, the terms of the Employment Agreement shall control. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.
3.Vesting. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Awarded Shares shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Participant is employed by (or if the Participant is a Consultant or an Outside Trustee, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary on such anniversary.
All Awarded Shares not previously vested shall immediately become fully vested upon (i) the Participant’s death; (ii) the Participant’s Termination of Service as a result of the Participant’s Total and Permanent Disability; (iii) the occurrence of a Change in Control, if and to the extent that this Award is not continued, assumed or converted into a replacement award or awards in connection with such Change in Control or (iv) as specifically provided in the Employment Agreement.
In the event that the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to Retirement and the Participant has provided the Company with at least twelve months’ advance written notice of the Participant’s Retirement date (unless the notice period is waived by the Committee in its sole discretion) and has remained in employment in good standing until the Participant’s Retirement date, then on the Participant’s Retirement date, a pro-rata portion of the Awarded Shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable, calculated by multiplying the number of Awarded Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the Date of Grant through the date of Termination of Service (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is twelve. Any Awarded Shares (and related dividends) that were unvested at the date of Termination of Service and that exceed the pro-rata portion of the Awarded Shares that become vested and nonforfeitable under this paragraph shall be forfeited.

4.Forfeiture of Awarded Shares. Awarded Shares that are not vested in accordance with Section 3 shall be forfeited on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights with respect to the forfeited Awarded Shares shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.
5.Restrictions on Awarded Shares. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, from the Date of Grant until the date the Awarded Shares are vested in accordance with




Section 3 and are no longer subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 4 (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, margin, assign or otherwise encumber any of the Awarded Shares, provided that the Participant may designate a beneficiary of all or any portion of the Award on a form reasonably acceptable to the Company or may transfer all or any portion of the Participant’s Award on a form reasonably acceptable to the Company to (i) the spouse (or former spouse), children or grandchildren of the Participant (“Immediate Family Members”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, (iii) a partnership in which the only partners are (1) such Immediate Family Members and/or (2) entities which are controlled by Immediate Family Members, (iv) an entity exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any successor provision, or (v) a split interest trust or pooled income fund described in Section 2522(c)(2) of the Code or any successor provision, provided further that (x) there shall be no consideration for any such transfer, and (y) subsequent transfers of transferred Awards shall be prohibited except those by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except for these limitations, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, remove any or all of the restrictions on such Awarded Shares whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or changes in circumstances after the date of this Agreement, such action is appropriate.
6.Legend. Awarded Shares electronically registered in a Participant’s name shall note that such shares are Restricted Shares. If certificates for Awarded Shares are issued, the following legend shall be placed on all such certificates:
On the face of the certificate:
“Transfer of these Common Shares is restricted in accordance with conditions printed on the reverse of this certificate.”
On the reverse:
“The Common Shares are subject to and transferable only in accordance with that certain Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. No transfer or pledge of the shares evidenced hereby may be made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement. By acceptance of these Common Shares, any holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement.”
The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Shares issued under the Plan if the shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:
“Common Shares represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”
All Awarded Shares owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing legend, as applicable.
    - 2 -


7.Delivery of Certificates; Registration of Shares. The Company shall deliver certificates for the Awarded Shares to the Participant (if requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the Plan and the Company has elected, in its sole discretion, to issue certificates (as opposed to electronic book entry form with respect to its Common Shares)) or shall register the Awarded Shares in the Participant’s name, free of restriction under this Agreement, promptly after, and only after, the Restriction Period has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.
8.Rights of a Shareholder. Except as provided in Section 4 and Section 5 above, the Participant shall have, with respect to the Participant’s Awarded Shares, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any dividends thereon. Any share dividends paid with respect to Awarded Shares shall at all times be treated as Awarded Shares and shall be subject to all restrictions placed on Awarded Shares; any such share dividends paid with respect to Awarded Shares shall vest as the Awarded Shares become vested.
9.Voting. The Participant, as record holder of the Awarded Shares, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Awarded Shares until such time as the Awarded Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement or are forfeited pursuant to Section 4; provided, however, that this Section 9 shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Awarded Shares otherwise have no such right.
10.Adjustment to Number of Awarded Shares. The number of Awarded Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11-13 of the Plan.
11.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance.

12.Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant will not acquire any Awarded Shares, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Awarded Shares to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance or holding of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. In such case, any determination by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.
13.Investment Representation. Unless the Awarded Shares are issued in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by the Participant’s execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Shares which may be purchased and or received hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for the Participant’s own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Shares are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Shares shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.
14.Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for the Participant’s review by the Company, and represents that the Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.

b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is removed from the Board by the shareholders of the Company for cause, or the Participant resigns or decides not to stand for reelection as a member of the Board following delivery of notice to the shareholders of a proposal to remove the Participant for cause (for these purposes, “cause” shall mean, with respect to any particular Participant, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such Participant caused demonstrable, material harm to the Company through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty), then all Awarded Units which have not




previously become vested shall immediately be forfeited. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights and interest with respect to the forfeited Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.

6.Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity (or its parent corporation) may continue or assume this Award or may convert this Award into a replacement award, which award will remain outstanding and be governed by its terms. If and to the extent that this Award is not continued, assumed or converted into a replacement award or awards in connection with such Change in Control, the vesting of the Awarded Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated, any previously unvested Awarded Units shall vest immediately, and the Participant shall become entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of previously unvested Awarded Units.
7.Restrictions on Transfer of Awarded Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, margin, assign or otherwise encumber any of the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, and the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any settlement in respect of the Awarded Units upon the death of the Participant, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Committee. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 7 shall be deemed null and void.
8.Timing and Manner of Settlement of Awarded Units.
a.Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Awarded Units become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3, 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the Participant will have no right to settlement of any such Awarded Units. Awarded Units will be settled under this Section 8 by the Company delivering to the Participant (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Awarded Units that have become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3, 5 or 6 of this Agreement and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Awarded Units that become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3, 5 or 6 of this Agreement such Awarded Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the vesting date but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the applicable vesting date.
b.Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Common Shares in settlement of Awarded Units by either delivering certificates representing such Common Shares to the Participant (if requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the Plan and the Company has elected, in its sole discretion, to issue certificates (as opposed to electronic book entry form with respect to its Common Shares)) or by registering the Common Shares in the Participant’s name. In no event will the Company issue fractional Common Shares.
c.Effect of Settlement. Neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Awarded Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates
    - 2 -


for settlement are specified above, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Participant or beneficiary of a Participant shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Shares was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Common Shares and related dividend equivalents).
9.Legend. The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Shares issued under the Plan if the Common Shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:
“Common Shares represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”
10.Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that Common Shares are issued in settlement of Awarded Units, the Participant will accrue dividend equivalents equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid had the Awarded Unit been an issued and outstanding Common Share on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Awarded Units to which they relate; (ii) will be payable with respect to the total number of Awarded Units that become vested and nonforfeitable; and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.
11.Adjustment to Number of Awarded Units. The number of Awarded Units shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 through 13 of the Plan. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Participant under Section 10 in connection with such transaction or event. Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Awarded Units prior to the adjustment.
12.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.
13.Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his review by the Company, and represents that he is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) sales of Common Shares delivered in settlement of Awarded Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Outside Trustees, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Common Shares are not permitted, and (ii) Common Shares delivered in settlement of Awarded Units will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy applied with prospective or retroactive effect.
14.Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Maryland law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this agreement to the laws of another state).
    - 3 -


15.No Right to Continue Service. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary as an Outside Trustee, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company to remove the Participant as an Outside Trustee at any time.
16.Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.
17.Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each covenant and agreement that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.
18.Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the said subject matter. All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement or the Plan and that any agreement, statement or promise that is not contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.
19.Parties Bound. The terms, provisions, and agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall apply to, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns, subject to the limitation on assignment expressly set forth herein.
20.Modification. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company may amend the Plan or this Agreement to the extent permitted by the Plan.
21.Headings. The headings that are used in this Agreement are used for reference and convenience purposes only and do not constitute substantive matters to be considered in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
22.Gender and Number. Words of any gender used in this Agreement shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise.
23.Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered only when actually received by the Company or by the Participant, as the case may be, at the addresses set forth below, or at such other addresses as they have theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:
a.Notice to the Company shall be addressed and delivered as follows:
Physicians Realty Trust
309 N. Water Street, Suite 500
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
Attn: Corporate Secretary
Fax: (414) 249-4720

b.Notice to the Participant shall be addressed and delivered as set forth on the signature page.
24.Tax Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult immediately with his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement. The Company shall issue to the Internal Revenue Service and to the Participant a Form 1099 and any other reporting form that may be required to report the amount of tax which the Participant has incurred under applicable federal, state and local tax laws. The Company will not withhold such taxes, and the Participant acknowledges that the Participant may need to adjust his or her estimated tax payments to take the additional taxable income into account.
25.REIT Status. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust.
26.Unfunded Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Participant to the Participant’s Awarded Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Participant any right to or claim against any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Participant. With respect to the Participant’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company.
27.Code Section 409A. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”). Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 27 will apply in order that the Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company and the Committee reserve the right, to the extent the Company or the Committee deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Awarded Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Participant (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A. The settlement of Awarded Units that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A (“409A Awarded Units”) may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate the vesting of 409A Awarded Units, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A Awarded Units. In the case of any settlement of 409A Awarded Units during a specified period following any date triggering a right to settlement, the Participant shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A, (ii) is payable upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death, and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Termination of Service, such payment shall be delayed and paid to the Participant on the day that is six months and one day following the Participant’s Termination of Service or, if earlier, within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death.

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
PHYSICIANS REALTY TRUST
2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
1.Grant of Award. Pursuant to the Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”) for Employees, Consultants, and Outside Trustees of Physicians Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), the Company grants to

_________________________________
(the “Participant”)
an Award of Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan. The number of Restricted Share Units awarded under this Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is _____________________ (__________) units (the “Awarded Units”). Each Restricted Share Unit represents the right to receive one Common Share if the Restricted Share Unit becomes vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with this Agreement. The “Date of Grant” of this Award is __________________. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Share Units or the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units unless and until the Restricted Share Units become vested and nonforfeitable and such Common Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. The Participant is not required to pay any cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Share Units.
2.Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.
3.Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Awarded Units shall vest in full on __________________ (the “Scheduled Vesting Date”), provided that the Participant continues to provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary from the Date of Grant until the Scheduled Vesting Date, or at such earlier time as Awarded Units may vest pursuant to Sections 4(a), 5 or 6 of this Agreement.
4.Termination of Service on the Board.
a.Except as provided in Sections 4(b), 5 or 6 below, if prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, the Participant resigns from service as a member of the Board, decides not to stand for reelection at the expiration of the Participant’s term of office as a member of the Board, is not nominated by the Board to stand for election at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at which the Participant’s term of office as a member of the Board expires, or, if nominated, is not reelected, then any Awarded Units held by the Participant which have not yet vested shall not be forfeited but shall remain unvested until the Scheduled Vesting Date, and the Participant shall vest, on the Scheduled Vesting Date, in that number of units equal to the Awarded Units multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months from __________________ to the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 12. Any Restricted Stock Units that are unvested at the Scheduled Vesting Date and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Awarded Units that become vested under this Section 4(a) shall be forfeited. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights and interest with respect to the forfeited Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.
b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, the Participant is removed from the Board by the shareholders of the Company for cause, or the




Participant resigns or decides not to stand for reelection as a member of the Board following delivery of notice to the shareholders of a proposal to remove the Participant for cause (for these purposes, “cause” shall mean, with respect to any particular Participant, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such Participant caused demonstrable, material harm to the Company through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty), then all Awarded Units shall immediately be forfeited. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights and interest with respect to the forfeited Awarded Units (and related dividend equivalents) shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.
5.Effect of Death or Total and Permanent Disability.
a.If the Participant ceases to serve as a member of the Board as a result of the Participant’s death before the Scheduled Vesting Date, vesting of any unvested Awarded Units granted to the Participant under this Agreement shall be accelerated.

6.Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity (or its parent corporation) may continue or assume this Award or may convert this Award into a replacement award, which award will remain outstanding and be governed by its terms. If and to the extent that this Award is not continued, assumed or converted into a replacement award or awards in connection with such Change in Control, the vesting of the Awarded Units granted under this Agreement shall be accelerated, and the Participant shall become entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of previously unvested Awarded Units.
7.Restrictions on Transfer of Awarded Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, margin, assign or otherwise encumber any of the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, and the Awarded Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any settlement in respect of the Awarded Units upon the death of the Participant, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Committee. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 7 shall be deemed null and void.
8.Timing and Manner of Settlement of Awarded Units.

Neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Awarded Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Participant or beneficiary of a Participant shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Shares was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Common Shares and related dividend equivalents).
9.Legend. The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Shares issued under the Plan if the Common Shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

11.Adjustment to Number of Awarded Units. The number of Awarded Units shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 through 13 of the Plan. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Participant under Section 10 in connection with such transaction or event. Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Awarded Units prior to the adjustment.
12.Specific Performance.

The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

16.Legal Construction.

17.Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each covenant and agreement that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

27.Code Section 409A. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”). Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 27 will apply in order that the Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company and the Committee reserve the right, to the extent the Company or the Committee deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Awarded Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder).

In the case of any settlement of 409A Awarded Units during a specified period following any date triggering a right to settlement, the Participant shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A, (ii) is payable upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death, and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Termination of Service, such payment shall be delayed and paid to the Participant on the day that is six months and one day following the Participant’s Termination of Service or, if earlier, within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death.

This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control; provided that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement, the Plan and an Employment Agreement in effect between the Company and the Participant (the “Employment Agreement”), the terms of the Employment Agreement shall control to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Awarded Shares (including the Premium Shares), and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or any non-vesting of any Awarded Shares (including any Premium Shares) that otherwise would occur under the terms of the vesting provisions contained in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.

3. Vesting. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Awarded Shares shall vest as follows:

The Awarded Shares (other than the Premium Shares) shall cliff vest on January 1, ___, provided that the Participant is an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on that date; and
The Premium Shares shall cliff vest on January 1, ___, provided that the Participant is an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

All Awarded Shares (including the Premium Shares) not previously vested shall immediately become fully vested upon (i) the Participant’s death; (ii) the Participant’s Termination of Service due to Total and Permanent Disability; (iii) involuntary Termination of Service by the Company without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Participant’s Employment Agreement); (iv) voluntary Termination of Service by the Participant for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined in the Participant’s Employment Agreement); (v) the occurrence of a Change in Control, if and to the extent that this Award is not continued, assumed or converted into a replacement award or awards in connection with such Change in Control; or (vi) as specifically provided in the Participant’s Employment Agreement.

In the event that the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to Retirement and the Participant has provided the Company with at least twelve months’ advance written notice of the Participant’s Retirement date (unless the notice period is waived by the Committee in its sole discretion) and has remained in employment in good standing until the Participant’s Retirement date, then on the Participant’s Retirement date, a pro-rata portion of the Awarded Shares (including the Premium Shares) shall vest and become nonforfeitable, calculated by (A) multiplying the number of Awarded Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of pay periods from the Date of Grant through the date of Termination of Service (rounding any partial pay period to the next whole pay period) and the denominator of which is 24, and (B) multiplying the number of Premium Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of pay periods from the Date of Grant through the date of Termination



of Service (rounding any partial pay period to the next whole pay period) and the denominator of which is 48. Any Awarded Shares that were unvested at the date of Termination of Service and that exceed the pro-rata portion of the Awarded Shares that become vested and nonforfeitable under this paragraph shall be forfeited.

The Participant shall be fully vested in any dividends or distributions with respect to the Participant’s Awarded Shares (including the Premium Shares).

4. Forfeiture of Awarded Shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement (if applicable), Awarded Shares that are not vested in accordance with Section 3 shall be forfeited on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights with respect to the forfeited Awarded Shares shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.

5. Restrictions on Awarded Shares. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, from the Date of Grant until the date the Awarded Shares are vested in accordance with Section 3 and are no longer subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 4 (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, margin, assign or otherwise encumber any of the Awarded Shares. Except for these limitations, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, remove any or all of the restrictions on such Awarded Shares whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or changes in circumstances after the date of this Agreement, such action is appropriate.

6. Legend. Awarded Shares electronically registered in a Participant’s name shall note that such shares are Restricted Shares. If certificates for Awarded Shares are issued, the following legend shall be placed on all such certificates:

On the face of the certificate:

“Transfer of these Common Shares is restricted in accordance with conditions printed on the reverse of this certificate.”

On the reverse:

“The Common Shares are subject to and transferable only in accordance with that certain Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. No transfer or pledge of the shares evidenced hereby may be made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement. By acceptance of these Common Shares, any holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement.”

The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Shares issued under the Plan if the shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

“Common Shares represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”

All Awarded Shares (including the Premium Shares) owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing legend, as applicable.

7. Delivery of Certificates; Registration of Shares. The Company shall deliver certificates for the Awarded Shares to the Participant (if requested by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.3(a) of the



Plan and the Company has elected, in its sole discretion, to issue certificates (as opposed to electronic book entry form with respect to its Common Shares)) or shall register the Awarded Shares in the Participant’s name, free of restriction under this Agreement, promptly after, and only after, the Restriction Period has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.

8. Rights of a Shareholder. Except as provided in Section 4 and Section 5 above, the Participant shall have, with respect to the Participant’s Awarded Shares, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any dividends thereon.

9. Voting. The Participant, as record holder of the Awarded Shares, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Awarded Shares until such time as the Awarded Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement or are forfeited pursuant to Section 4; provided, however, that this Section 9 shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Awarded Shares otherwise have no such right.

Physicians Realty Trust (the “Trust” or the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on April 9, 2013. As of September 30, 2023, the Trust was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. The Trust filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Commission with respect to a proposed underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) and completed the IPO of its common shares and commenced operations on July 24, 2013.
 
The Trust contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Physicians Realty L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.
 
The Trust is a self-managed REIT formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own, and manage health care properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals, and health care delivery systems.

ATM Program

In May 2021, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2021 Sales Agreement”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. in their capacity as agents for the Company and/or forward sellers and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated in its capacity as sales agent for the Company (collectively, the “2021 Agents”) and Bank of Montreal, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investments Bank, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as forward purchasers for the Company (the “2021 Forward Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million through the 2021 Agents (the “2021 ATM Program”). The 2021 Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Trust’s common shares through the 2021 Agents, the Trust may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements from time to time in the future with each of the 2021 Forward Purchasers.

In August 2023, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2023 Sales Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated as sales agents for the Company and/or forward sellers (collectively, “2023 Agents”), and Bank of Montreal, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (collectively, “2023 Forward Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Trust may issue and sell, from time to time, its common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million through the 2023 Agents (the “2023 ATM Program”). The 2023 Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Trust’s common shares through the 2023 Agents, the Trust may also enter into one or more forward sales agreements from time to time in the future with each of the 2023 Forward Purchasers. Upon entry into the 2023 Sales Agreement, we terminated the 2021 ATM Program.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, the Trust issued and sold common shares through the 2021 ATM Program as follows (net proceeds in thousands):

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Trust’s 2022 Annual Report. The Company has consistently applied its accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own in entities that it controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interests and classifies such interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from the Company’s total shareholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Operating Partnership: Noncontrolling interests in the Company include partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held by other investors. Net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests (limited partners) based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Issuance of additional common shares and OP Units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions. 

As of September 30, 2023, the Trust held a 96.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Trust consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Partially Owned Properties: The Trust reflects noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties on the consolidated balance sheets for the portion of consolidated properties that are not wholly owned by the Company. The earnings or losses from those properties attributable to the noncontrolling interests are reflected as noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties in the consolidated statements of income.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Partially Owned Properties

In connection with the Company’s acquisitions of the outpatient medical facility, ambulatory surgery center, and hospital located on the Great Falls Hospital campus in Great Falls, Montana, physicians affiliated with the sellers retained non-controlling interests which were, at the holders’ option, able to be redeemed at any time after May 1, 2023. Due to the redemption provision, which was outside of the control of the Trust, the Trust classified the investment in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets. On July 14, 2022, the Company disposed of these three properties and removed the related redeemable noncontrolling interests from its consolidated balance sheets.

Through a consolidated joint venture with MedProperties Realty Advisors, LLC (“MedProperties”), the Company acquired Calko Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. As part of the joint venture, MedProperties can redeem its interest, at its option, at any time after September 9, 2025. Due to the redemption provision, which is outside of the control of the Company, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of the carrying value or redemption value.

Dividends and Distributions
 
On September 21, 2023, the Trust announced that its Board of Trustees authorized, and the Trust declared, a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The dividend was paid on October 17, 2023, to common shareholders and holders of record of OP Units as of the close of business on October 3, 2023.
 
Tax Status of Dividends and Distributions

The Company’s distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.

Any cash distributions received by an OP Unit holder in respect of its OP Units generally will not be taxable to such OP Unit holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that such distribution does not exceed the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units. Any such distribution will instead reduce the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units (and OP Unit holders will be subject to tax on the taxable income allocated to them by the Operating Partnership in respect of their OP Units when such income is earned by the Operating Partnership, with such income allocation increasing the OP Unit holders’ basis in their OP Units).

The Company has elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for certain of its corporate subsidiaries and, as a result, these entities will incur both federal and state income taxes on any taxable income of such entities after consideration of any net operating losses. To date, these income taxes have been de minimis.

Real Estate Loans Receivable, Net
 
Real estate loans receivable consists of nine mezzanine loans, three term loans, and two construction loans as of September 30, 2023. Generally, each mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, each term loan is secured by a mortgage on a related outpatient medical facility, and construction loans are secured by mortgages on the land and the improvements as constructed. The reserve for loan losses was $0.4 million as of September 30, 2023.

Rental and Related Revenues

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for leases may result in recognizing revenue for amounts more or less than amounts currently due from tenants. Amounts recognized in excess of amounts currently due from tenants are included in other assets and were approximately $105.0 million and $101.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not probable, income recognition is limited to the lesser of cash collected, or lease income reflected on a straight-line basis, plus variable rent when it becomes accruable.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, Topic 842, if the collectability of a lease changes after the commencement date, any difference between lease income that would have been recognized and the lease payments shall be recognized as an adjustment to lease income. Bad debt recognized as an adjustment to rental and related revenues was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Rental revenue is adjusted by the amortization of lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents on certain leases. Lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. Rental and related revenues also include expense recoveries, which relate to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses that are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded gross, as these costs are incurred by the Company and reimbursed by the tenants. The Company has certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses and the Company does not recognize expense recoveries.

Derivative Instruments

When the Company has derivative instruments, it records them either as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sale exception. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met or if the Company does not elect to apply for hedge accounting, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently in earnings. If hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument, the entire change in the fair value of its derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and one interest rate swap that was de-designated as a hedging instrument during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 but remains outstanding. Further detail is provided in Note 7 (Derivatives).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 consolidated financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or any balance sheet total or subtotal.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional relief to applying reference rate reform to changing reference rates, contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this update may be applied through December 31, 2024.

On March 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as the reference rate for the purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. The Company also amended its fixed interest rate swap agreement on its mortgage debt to update the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. As a result, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients maintains the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On September 24, 2021, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to September 24, 2025 and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings. The Credit Agreement included an unsecured revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion and contained a term loan feature of $250.0 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $1.25 billion.

Derivative Instrument Detail [Abstract]  
Derivatives Derivatives
In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instruments are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair market values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income if such derivatives do not qualify for, or the Company does not elect to apply for, hedge accounting. As a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2019, the change in the fair value of our derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company de-designated an interest rate swap upon the repayment of the related debt instrument and reclassified the $1.8 million accumulated gain from other comprehensive income to earnings. This derivative instrument has a fair value of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2023, and is classified in other assets. Future changes in value on this derivative instrument, which matures on October 31, 2024, will be recorded directly in earnings.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for a further discussion of our derivatives. In
addition, the Company recognizes its share of other comprehensive income related to derivative instruments held by unconsolidated entities.

Stock-based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-based Compensation Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Share-based payments classified as liability awards are marked to fair value at each reporting period. Any common shares issued pursuant to the Company's incentive equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans will result in the Operating Partnership issuing OP Units to the Trust on a one-for-one basis, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net cash proceeds of such issuances.
 
Certain of the Company’s employee stock awards vest only upon the achievement of performance targets. ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost only when achievement of performance conditions is considered probable. Consequently, the Company’s determination of the amount of stock compensation expense requires judgment in estimating the probability of achievement of these performance targets. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.

In connection with the IPO, the Trust adopted the Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, which made shares available for awards for participants (the “2013 Plan”). At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 3, 2023, shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2013 Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan increased the number of common shares authorized for issuance to a total of 11,000,000. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan also extended the term of the plan from 2029 to 2033, among other changes.

Restricted Common Shares

Restricted common shares granted under the 2013 Plan are eligible for dividends as well as the right to vote. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Trust granted a total of 342,939 restricted common shares with a total value of $5.0 million to its officers and certain of its employees, which have a vesting period of one to three years. In January 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted restricted common shares to certain of its officers under a salary deferral program, part of which vests after one year, with the remainder vesting after two years.

A summary of the status of the Trust’s non-vested restricted common shares as of September 30, 2023 and changes during the nine month period then ended follow:

For all service awards, the Company records compensation expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized non-cash share compensation of $3.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense on September 30, 2023 was $2.9 million.
Restricted Share Units

In January 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted 11,274 restricted share units to certain of its trustees in lieu of all or a portion of such trustee’s 2023 cash retainer. These units are subject to certain timing conditions and a one-year service period. Each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. Each recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend. With respect to the performance and timing conditions of the January 2023 grants, the grant date fair value of $14.47 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant.

In March 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company granted restricted share units at a target level of 355,388 to its officers and certain of its employees and 62,586 to its trustees. Units granted to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan are subject to certain performance and market conditions and a three-year service period. Units granted to trustees are subject to certain timing conditions and a two-year service period for full vesting. Each restricted share unit contains one dividend equivalent. Each recipient will accrue dividend equivalents on awarded share units equal to the cash dividend that would have been paid on the awarded share unit had the awarded share unit been an issued and outstanding common share on the record date for the dividend.

Approximately 30% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan in 2023 vest based on a certain market condition. The awards containing the market condition were valued with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the weighted average grant date fair value of $18.71 per unit for the March 2023 grant using the following assumptions:
 
Volatility23.4 %
Dividend assumptionreinvested
Expected term in years2.83 years
Risk-free rate4.70 %
Share price (per share)$14.70 
 
The remaining 70% of the restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees under the Company’s 2013 Plan, and 100% of other restricted share units issued to trustees vest based upon certain performance or timing conditions. With respect to the performance and timing conditions of the March 2023 grants, the grant date fair value of $14.70 per unit was based on the share price at the date of grant. The combined weighted average grant date fair value of the March 2023 restricted share units issued to officers and certain employees was $15.90 per unit.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires certain assets and liabilities be reported and/or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.
 
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability. As part of the Company’s acquisition process, Level 3 inputs are used to measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
The Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 consist of four interest rate swaps, of which three are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, as detailed in the Derivative Instruments section of Note 7 (Derivatives) and Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) of this report.

The interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs described above. The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivatives.
 
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. There were no such assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023.
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, payables, and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for real estate loans receivable and mortgage debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities and are based primarily on Level 2 inputs.

The Company leases the rights to parking structures at two of its properties, the air that one property occupies, and the land upon which 97 of its properties are located from third party landowners pursuant to separate leases. In addition, the Company has nine corporate leases, primarily for office space.

The Company’s leases include both fixed and variable rental payments and may also include escalation clauses and renewal options. These leases have terms of up to 92 years remaining, excluding extension options, with a weighted average remaining term of 43 years.

At the inception of a new lease, the Company establishes an operating or finance lease asset and operating or finance lease liability calculated as the present value of future minimum lease payments. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company calculates a discount rate that approximates its incremental borrowing rate available at lease commencement in order to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The approximated weighted average discount rate was 4.4% as of September 30, 2023. There are no operating or finance leases that have not yet commenced that would have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

On October 29, 2023, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Trust, the Operating Partnership, Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (“Healthpeak”), Alpine Sub, LLC (“Alpine Sub”) and Alpine OP Sub, LLC (“Alpine OP Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for (a) the merger of the Trust with and into Alpine Sub (the “Company Merger”), with Alpine Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthpeak (the “Company Surviving Entity”), (b) immediately following the effectiveness of the Company Merger, the contribution by Healthpeak to Healthpeak OP, LLC (“Healthpeak OP”), of all of the outstanding equity interests in the Company Surviving Entity (the “Contribution”) and (c) immediately following the Contribution, the merger of the Operating Partnership with and into Alpine OP Sub (the “Partnership Merger”), with Alpine OP Sub surviving as a subsidiary of Healthpeak OP (the “Partnership Surviving Entity”). The consummation of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including the approval of both the Trust’s and Healthpeak’s shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the date and time the Company Merger becomes effective (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each common share of the Trust (other than common shares to be canceled in accordance with the Merger Agreement), will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.674 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Healthpeak common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Healthpeak Common Stock”) (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, but subject to any withholding required under applicable tax laws. Holders of the Trust’s common shares will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Healthpeak Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, immediately after the Contribution and at the date and time the Partnership Merger becomes effective (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), each OP Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, will automatically be converted into and become a number of units in the Partnership Surviving Entity equal to the Exchange Ratio.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of Healthpeak and the Trust. The Trust has agreed to customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to carry on its
business in all material respects in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and to refrain from taking certain actions without Healthpeak’s consent. Healthpeak has agreed to customary pre-closing covenants, including a more limited set of covenants to refrain from taking certain actions without the Trust’s consent and to use commercially reasonable efforts to carry on its business in all material respects in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice. Each party has agreed to additional covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (i) the Trust’s obligation to call a meeting of its shareholders to approve the Company Merger, (ii) Healthpeak’s obligation to call a meeting of its stockholders to approve the Healthpeak Common Stock Issuance (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Parent Charter Amendment (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iii) each party’s non-solicitation obligations related to alternative acquisition proposals. Healthpeak’s board of directors and the Trust’s Board of Trustees each have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Mergers are expected to close during the first half of 2024. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Trust suspended the 2023 ATM Program.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own in entities that it controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interests and classifies such interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from the Company’s total shareholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Operating Partnership: Noncontrolling interests in the Company include partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held by other investors. Net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests (limited partners) based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Issuance of additional common shares and OP Units changes the ownership interests of both the noncontrolling interests and the Trust. Such transactions and the related proceeds are treated as capital transactions. 

As of September 30, 2023, the Trust held a 96.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Trust consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Partially Owned Properties: The Trust reflects noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties on the consolidated balance sheets for the portion of consolidated properties that are not wholly owned by the Company. The earnings or losses from those properties attributable to the noncontrolling interests are reflected as noncontrolling interests in partially owned properties in the consolidated statements of income.
Tax Status of Dividends and Distributions
Tax Status of Dividends and Distributions

The Company’s distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.

Any cash distributions received by an OP Unit holder in respect of its OP Units generally will not be taxable to such OP Unit holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that such distribution does not exceed the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units. Any such distribution will instead reduce the OP Unit holder’s basis in its OP Units (and OP Unit holders will be subject to tax on the taxable income allocated to them by the Operating Partnership in respect of their OP Units when such income is earned by the Operating Partnership, with such income allocation increasing the OP Unit holders’ basis in their OP Units).

The Company has elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for certain of its corporate subsidiaries and, as a result, these entities will incur both federal and state income taxes on any taxable income of such entities after consideration of any net operating losses. To date, these income taxes have been de minimis.
Real Estate Loans Receivable, Net
Real Estate Loans Receivable, Net
 
Real estate loans receivable consists of nine mezzanine loans, three term loans, and two construction loans as of September 30, 2023. Generally, each mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of the borrower’s ownership interest in the respective real estate owner, each term loan is secured by a mortgage on a related outpatient medical facility, and construction loans are secured by mortgages on the land and the improvements as constructed.
Rental and Related Revenues
Rental and Related Revenues

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for leases may result in recognizing revenue for amounts more or less than amounts currently due from tenants. Amounts recognized in excess of amounts currently due from tenants are included in other assets and were approximately $105.0 million and $101.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not probable, income recognition is limited to the lesser of cash collected, or lease income reflected on a straight-line basis, plus variable rent when it becomes accruable.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, Topic 842, if the collectability of a lease changes after the commencement date, any difference between lease income that would have been recognized and the lease payments shall be recognized as an adjustment to lease income. Bad debt recognized as an adjustment to rental and related revenues was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Rental revenue is adjusted by the amortization of lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents on certain leases. Lease inducements and above-market or below-market rents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. Rental and related revenues also include expense recoveries, which relate to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses that are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded gross, as these costs are incurred by the Company and reimbursed by the tenants. The Company has certain tenants with absolute net leases. Under these lease agreements, the tenant is responsible for operating and building expenses and the Company does not recognize expense recoveries.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments

When the Company has derivative instruments, it records them either as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sale exception. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met or if the Company does not elect to apply for hedge accounting, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently in earnings. If hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument, the entire change in the fair value of its derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable-rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instruments are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair market values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income if such derivatives do not qualify for, or the Company does not elect to apply for, hedge accounting. As a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2019, the change in the fair value of our derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company de-designated an interest rate swap upon the repayment of the related debt instrument and reclassified the $1.8 million accumulated gain from other comprehensive income to earnings. This derivative instrument has a fair value of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2023, and is classified in other assets. Future changes in value on this derivative instrument, which matures on October 31, 2024, will be recorded directly in earnings.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for a further discussion of our derivatives. In
addition, the Company recognizes its share of other comprehensive income related to derivative instruments held by unconsolidated entities.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 consolidated financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or any balance sheet total or subtotal.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional relief to applying reference rate reform to changing reference rates, contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this update may be applied through December 31, 2024.

On March 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Trust, as guarantor, executed a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to update the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as the reference rate for the purpose of calculating interest under the agreement. The Company also amended its fixed interest rate swap agreement on its mortgage debt to update the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. As a result, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients maintains the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 consist of four interest rate swaps, of which three are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, as detailed in the Derivative Instruments section of Note 7 (Derivatives) and Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) of this report.

The interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs described above. The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivatives.
 
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This generally includes assets subject to impairment. There were no such assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023.
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, payables, and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for real estate loans receivable and mortgage debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities and are based primarily on Level 2 inputs.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Share-based payments classified as liability awards are marked to fair value at each reporting period. Any common shares issued pursuant to the Company's incentive equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans will result in the Operating Partnership issuing OP Units to the Trust on a one-for-one basis, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net cash proceeds of such issuances.
 
Certain of the Company’s employee stock awards vest only upon the achievement of performance targets. ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost only when achievement of performance conditions is considered probable. Consequently, the Company’s determination of the amount of stock compensation expense requires judgment in estimating the probability of achievement of these performance targets. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.
