5. Common Stock/Partners’ Capital

Medical Properties Trust, Inc.

On March 11, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering of 7.7 million shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $100.2 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses. We also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.2 million shares of common stock. The option, which was exercised in full, closed on April 8, 2014 and resulted in additional net proceeds of approximately $16 million.

In January 2014, we put an at-the-market equity offering program in place, giving us the ability to sell up to $250 million of stock with a commission of 1.25%. During the first quarter of 2014, we sold 0.9 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, at an average price of $13.21 per share resulting in total proceeds, net of commission, of $12.3 million.

On February 28, 2013, we completed an offering of 12.7 million shares of our common stock (including 1.7 million shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at a price of $14.25 per share, resulting in net proceeds (after underwriting discount and expenses) of $172.9 million.
