ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY

We acquire and invest in senior housing, medical office buildings, life science, research and innovation centers and other healthcare properties primarily to achieve an expected yield on our investment, to grow and diversify our portfolio and revenue base, and to reduce our dependence on any single tenant, operator or manager, geographic location, asset type, business model or revenue source. The following summarizes our acquisition activities during 2022, 2021 and 2020. Each of our acquisitions disclosed below was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

2022 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2022, for an aggregate purchase price of $453.2 million, we acquired 18 MOBs leased to affiliates of Ardent, one behavioral health center, one research and innovation center (all of which are reported within our office operations segment) and two senior housing communities (which are reported within our SHOP segment).

2021 Acquisitions

On September 21, 2021, we acquired New Senior Investment Group Inc. (“New Senior”) for a purchase price of $2.3 billion in an all-stock transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 28, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Ventas, Cadence Merger Sub LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and New Senior. Under the Merger Agreement, on the acquisition date, Merger Sub merged with and into New Senior, with New Senior surviving the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “New Senior Acquisition”). The New Senior Acquisition was valued at approximately $2.4 billion. We funded the transaction through the issuance of approximately 13.3 million shares of our common stock, with each New Senior stockholder receiving 0.1561 shares of Ventas common stock for each share of New Senior common stock that they owned immediately prior to the acquisition. In addition to the equity issuance, we funded the acquisition through the assumption of $482.5 million of New Senior mortgage debt and $1.1 billion of cash paid at closing. The New Senior Acquisition added 102 independent living communities to our SHOP reportable business segment and one independent living community to our triple-net lease properties reportable business segment. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and the financial results of New Senior have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we acquired six Canadian senior housing communities reported within our SHOP reportable business segment and a behavioral health center in Plano, Texas reported within our office operations reportable business segment for aggregate consideration of $240.7 million.

2020 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we acquired two research and innovation centers reported within our office operations reportable business segment, seven senior housing communities reported within our SHOP reportable business segment and one LTAC reported within our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment for an aggregate consideration of $249.5 million.
