Item 8.01. Other Events

Amendment to Share Repurchase Program

On August 20, 2019, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s existing share repurchase program (the “SRP”) changing the date on which repurchases are to be made in respect of requests made during the period commencing January 1, 2019 up to and including June 30, 2019 to no later than October 31, 2019, rather than on or before August 31, 2019. This SRP amendment will become effective on August 22, 2019.

All other terms of the SRP remain in effect, including that repurchases pursuant to the SRP are at the sole discretion of the Board. The foregoing summary of the SRP amendment is qualified by the text of the SRP amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the notice with respect to the SRP amendment provided to each stockholder who participated in the SRP during the period commencing January 1, 2019 up to and including June 30, 2019 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
