All six lawsuits allege that the joint proxy statement/prospectus related to the proposed merger violated federal securities laws in purportedly omitting to disclose information necessary to make the statements therein not materially false or misleading. The lawsuits seek, among other things, an injunction of the proposed merger; dissemination of a revised registration statement; declarations that the registration statement violated federal securities laws; damages, including rescissory damages; and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. The lawsuits are in a preliminary stage. We, our directors, Sabra, Merger Sub, Care Capital LP, and Sabra LP believe that each of these actions is without merit. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the merger agreement or the merger may be filed in the future.

Litigation

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes, environmental matters, and litigation in connection with transactions including acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or our results of operations. We record a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Our tenants and, in some cases, their affiliates may be required by the terms of their leases and other agreements with us to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of their business and related to the operations of our properties. In addition, third parties from whom we acquired certain of our assets and, in some cases, their affiliates may be required by the terms of the related conveyance documents to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims related to the acquired assets and arising prior to our ownership or related to excluded assets and liabilities.
