1.	Organization and Description of Business

Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on April 20, 2006. We were initially capitalized on April 28, 2006 and consider that to be our date of inception.

We are a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Accordingly, our internal management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and outside service providers. Acquisitions and asset management services are performed in-house by our employees, with certain monitored services provided by third parties at market rates. We do not pay acquisition, disposition, or asset management fees to an external advisor, and we have not and will not pay any internalization fees.

We provide stockholders the potential for income and growth through investment in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties. We focus primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We also invest to a limited extent in other real estate-related assets. However, we do not presently intend to invest more than 15.0% of our total assets in such other real estate-related assets. We focus primarily on investments that produce recurring income. Subject to the discussion in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, we believe that we have qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue to be taxed as a REIT. We conduct substantially all of our operations through Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, or our operating partnership.

As of June 30, 2011, we had made 78 portfolio acquisitions comprising approximately 11,107,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, which includes 242 buildings and two real estate-related assets. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was $2,303,402,000. As of June 30, 2011, the average occupancy of these properties, including leases signed but not yet commenced, was approximately 91%.

On September 20, 2006, we commenced a best efforts initial public offering, or our initial offering, in which we offered up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in a primary offering and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. On March 19, 2010, we terminated our initial offering and commenced a best efforts follow-on public offering, or our follow-on offering, in which we offered up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in a primary offering and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. We stopped offering shares in the primary offering on February 28, 2011, but we continue to offer shares pursuant to the DRIP. In aggregate, we received and accepted subscriptions in our initial and follow-on offerings for 220,673,545 shares of our common stock, or $2,195,655,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP.
