As previously disclosed and reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2022 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “HR”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 28, 2022, with Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“HTA”), Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“HTA OP”), and HR Acquisition 2, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), to effect a strategic business combination of the two companies to be led by the HR management team.
On June 10, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement in connection with the Merger (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). As disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement, as of June 10, 2022, three purported stockholders of HR had filed actions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Preliminary HR Proxy Complaints”), captioned Irvin v. Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, Case No. 1:22CV02806 (E.D.N.Y.), Hopkins v. Healthcare Realty Trust, Inc., Case No. 1:22cv-02916 (E.D.N.Y.) and Justice v. Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, Case No. 1:22-cv-03041 (E.D.N.Y.), alleging that a preliminary version of the proxy statement filed with the SEC as part of HTA’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on May 2, 2022 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) was materially incomplete, false or misleading in certain respects, thereby allegedly violating Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. § § 78n(a), 78t(a)), and SEC Rule 14a-9 (17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9) or 17 C.F.R. § 244.100 promulgated thereunder.
In addition, as disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement, as of June 10, 2022, two purported stockholders of HTA had filed actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Preliminary HTA Proxy Complaints,” and together with the Preliminary HR Proxy Complaints, the “Preliminary Proxy Complaints”), captioned Stein v. Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., Case No. No. 1:22cv-03703 (S.D.N.Y.), and Tiso v. Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., Case No. 1:22CV03804 (S.D.N.Y.), alleging that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by HTA with the SEC on May 2, 2022, and which included the Preliminary Proxy Statement, was materially incomplete, false or misleading in certain respects, thereby allegedly violating Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. § § 78n(a), 78t(a)), and SEC Rule 14a-9 (17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9) or 17 C.F.R. § 244.100 promulgated thereunder.
Following the filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement and prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, two additional complaints have been filed as individual actions in United States District Courts (the “Definitive Proxy Complaints” and, collectively, with the Preliminary Proxy Complaints, the “Complaints”). One Definitive Proxy Complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Carlisle v. Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, Case No. 1:22-cv-05313 (S.D.N.Y.). Another Definitive Proxy Complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned Johnson v. Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., Case No. 1:22-cv-03692 (E.D.N.Y.).
The Definitive Proxy Complaints generally allege that the Definitive Proxy Statement failed to disclose material information in connection with the Merger and that, as a result, the Definitive Proxy Statement is materially misleading in violation of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
Each of the Complaints seeks, among other things, to enjoin HTA or the Company, as applicable, from consummating the Merger or, in the alternative, rescission of the Merger or damages. Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may also be filed in the future.
HTA and the Company believe that the claims asserted in the Complaints are without merit and that no supplemental disclosure is required under applicable law. However, in order to avoid the risk of the above captioned actions delaying or adversely affecting the Merger, to alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, to provide additional information to its stockholders, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, HTA has determined voluntarily to supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement as described in this supplemental disclosure. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein.
These supplemental disclosures will not affect the merger consideration to be paid to stockholders of HTA in connection with the Merger or the timing of the special meeting of HTA’s stockholders, which will be held in a virtual-only format on July 15, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time.

The additional disclosures herein supplement the disclosures contained in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information in this supplemental disclosure differs from, or updates information contained in, the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information in this supplemental disclosure shall supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of the Company Financial Advisor—Public Trading Multiples” is amended and supplemented as follows:
The Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby revised to include the following table between the third and fourth paragraphs on Page 61:
The P/2022E FFO and Implied Capitalization Rate for each selected company are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| P/2022E FFO | Implied Capitalization Rate |
| Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. | 16.2x | 5.5% |

(1) As of August 3, 2021, the trading day immediately preceding the date of the public announcement of the resignation of the Company’s chief executive officer.

The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of the Company Financial Advisor— Selected Transaction Analysis” is amended and supplemented as follows:
The Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby revised to include the following as the last paragraph on Page 61 and the first, second, third and fourth paragraphs on Page 62:
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan examined selected transactions involving businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be sufficiently analogous to the Company’s business (or aspects thereof).
None of the selected transactions reviewed was identical to the proposed Merger. However, the selected transactions were chosen because certain aspects of the transactions, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to the proposed Merger. This analysis necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the transactions differently than they would affect the proposed Merger.
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected transaction, the ratio of the target portfolio’s net operating income for the forward twelve month period to the implied real estate value of the target portfolio (the “Implied Acquisition Capitalization Rate”). The transactions selected by J.P. Morgan for its analysis, and the Implied Acquisition Capitalization Rate for each transaction, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Announcement Date | | Target | | Acquiror | | Implied Acquisition Capitalization Rate |
| October 2021 | | Landmark (MOB Portfolio) | | Physicians Realty Trust | | 4.9% |
| November 2019 | | Hammes Partners (MOB Portfolio) | | Welltower | | 5.3% |
| January 2019 | | CNL (MOB Portfolio) | | Welltower | | 5.6% |
| May 2017 | | Duke Realty (MOB Portfolio) | | Healthcare Trust of America | | 5.3% |
Based on the results of this analysis, J.P. Morgan selected an Implied Acquisition Capitalization Rate reference range for the Company of 4.9% – 5.6%. After applying such range to the Company’s projected same store net operating income, the analysis indicated the following range of implied per share equity value (rounded to the nearest $0.25) for Company Common Stock:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Implied Per Share Equity Value |
| Low | | High |
| Company Implied Acquisition Capitalization Rate | $29.75 | | $35.50 |
The range of implied per share equity value for Company Common Stock was compared to (i) the closing price of Company Common Stock of $28.30 as of August 3, 2021, the trading day immediately preceding the date of the public announcement of the resignation of the Company’s chief executive officer, and (ii) the closing price of Company Common Stock of $29.69 as of February 24, 2022, the trading day immediately preceding the date of The Wall Street Journal article regarding the potential Merger.
The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of HR Financial Advisor—Financial Analyses—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” appearing on page 69 is amended and restated as follows:
Discounted Cash Flow Analyses. Citi performed separate discounted cash flow analyses of HR and the Company as described below.
HR. Citi performed a discounted cash flow analysis of HR by calculating the estimated present value (as of December 31, 2021) of the standalone unlevered free cash flows that HR was forecasted to generate during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 based on the HR Forecasts. For purposes of this analysis, stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense. Citi calculated implied terminal values for HR by applying exit cap rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.50% (selected based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience) to an estimated NOI (as approved by HR management) for HR’s terminal year (derived by applying a 3.0% growth rate to 2026E NOI as reflected in the HR Forecasts and accounting for certain assumptions attributable to acquisitions, dispositions and developments). The present values (as of December 31, 2021) of the cash flows and terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 7.21% to 8.02% (derived from a weighted average cost of capital calculation for HR by Citi based on its professional judgment and experience). This analysis indicated an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for HR of $27.86 to $37.63.
The Company. Citi performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company by calculating the estimated present value (as of December 31, 2021) of the standalone unlevered free cash flows that the Company was forecasted to generate during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 based on the Company Forecasts. For purposes of this analysis, stock-based compensation was treated as a cash expense. Citi calculated implied terminal values for the Company by applying exit cap rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.50% (selected based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience) to an estimated NOI (as approved by HR management) for the Company’s terminal year (derived by applying a 3.0% growth rate to 2026E NOI as reflected in the Company Forecasts and accounting for certain assumptions attributable to acquisitions, dispositions and developments). The present values (as of December 31, 2021) of the cash flows and terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 7.00% to 7.78% (derived from a weighted average cost of capital calculation for the Company by Citi based on its professional judgment and experience). This analysis indicated an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for the Company of $28.51 to $36.49.
After adjusting implied values for the Company to account for the Special Distribution, Citi utilized the implied per share equity value reference ranges derived for HR and the Company to derive the following approximate implied exchange ratio reference range, as compared to the exchange ratio provided in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement:
| | | | | | | | |
| Implied Exchange Ratio Reference Range | | Exchange Ratio |
| 0.880x – 1.589x | | 1.0000x |
Certain Additional Information
Citi also observed certain additional information that was not considered part of its financial analyses with respect to its opinion but was noted for informational purposes, including the following:
•historical closing prices of HR Common Stock and Company Common Stock during the 52-week period ended February 25, 2022, which (a) reflected a closing sale price of HR Common Stock on February 24, 2022 (the last trading day prior to public media speculation about a potential transaction) of $30.26 and indicated low and high closing prices during such period of HR Common Stock of $28.52 per share and $33.77 per share, respectively, and (b) reflected a closing sale price of Company Common Stock on February 24, 2022 of $29.69 and indicated low and high closing prices during such period of Company Common Stock of $26.11 per share and $34.83 per share, respectively;
•price targets of publicly available Wall Street research analysts for HR Common Stock and Company Common Stock (consisting of 8 analysts for HR Common Stock and 9 analysts for Company Common Stock), which indicated (a) a low to high target stock price range for HR Common Stock of $30.28 to $38.00 per share (with a mean of $34.04 per share and a median of $34.00 per share) and (b) a low to high target stock price range for Company Common Stock of $31.86 to $38.00 per share (with a mean of $35.76 per share and a median of $36.00 per share);
•net asset value per share estimates of publicly available Wall Street research analysts for HR Common Stock and Company Common Stock (consisting of 9 analysts for HR Common Stock and 10 analysts for Company Common Stock), which indicated (a) a low to high net asset value per share estimate for HR Common Stock of $31.81 to $38.03 per share (with a mean of $34.57 per share and a median of $34.13 per share) and (b) a low to high net asset value per share estimate for Company Common Stock of $30.26 to $37.47 per share (with a mean of $33.70 per share and a median of $33.02 per share);
•the relative contributions of HR and the Company based on the HR Forecasts and the Company Forecasts, respectively, to, among other things, various financial metrics of the Combined Company for calendar years 2022 and 2023, which indicated implied exchange ratios ranging from 1.0075x to 1.2834x; and
•the illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of the pro forma Combined Company, based on the HR Forecasts and the Company Forecasts (adjusted to take into account certain potential pro forma implications of the Merger as directed by the management of HR, including among other things certain cost savings and the contemplated joint venture and/or disposal of certain properties), with respect to the unlevered free cash flows that the Combined Company was expected to generate during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026. Utilizing a selected range of exit capitalization rates of 4.75% to 5.50% and a selected range of discount rates of 7.21% to 8.02% (which reflected the ranges of exit capitalization rates and discount ranges, respectively, used by Citi in its discounted cash flow analyses of HR), this analysis indicated a range of implied values per share for the Combined Company as of December 31, 2021 (after giving effect to the exchange ratio of 1.000x and accounting for the Special Distribution), of $25.69 to $33.73 as compared to a standalone value of HR Common Stock under the discounted cash flow analysis described above of $27.86 to $37.63. Citi further illustrated the potential impact of a reduction in the discount rate range to 6.81% to 7.62% as well as a reduction in the assumed exit capitalization rate range to 4.50% to 5.25%, and noted that, assuming both changes were to materialize, the analysis would indicate an implied value per share of Combined Company Common Stock of $28.37 to $37.34.
Miscellaneous
HR has agreed to pay Citi for its services in connection with the proposed Merger an aggregate fee of $20.0 million, of which $2.0 million was payable upon delivery of Citi’s opinion and the balance is payable contingent upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, HR agreed to reimburse Citi for Citi’s expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel and to indemnify Citi and related parties against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, arising from Citi’s engagement.
Following announcement of the Merger, at the request of the Company and with the approval of HR, Citi or one of its affiliates agreed to participate in credit facilities of the combined company contingent upon consummation of the Merger, for which Citi and its affiliates will be entitled, subject to consummation of the Merger and establishment of such credit facility, to fees of approximately $2 million. At the request of HR, Citi or one of its affiliates may provide or participate in financings undertaken by prospective counterparties relating to joint ventures or sales of assets of HR and/or the Company entered into in contemplation of the Merger, for which services Citi or such affiliate would expect to receive compensation. In the ordinary course of its business, Citi and its affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of HR and the Company for its and their own accounts or for the account of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, Citi and its affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain relationships with HR, the Company and their respective affiliates.
HR selected Citi to act as financial advisor in connection with the proposed Merger based on Citi’s reputation, experience and familiarity with HR, the Company and their respective businesses. Citi is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that regularly engages in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.
