DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256055) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2021 is being filed to deregister all securities that were registered for issuance on the Registration Statement and remain unsold thereunder.

On February 7, 2023, the company formerly known as Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (“Old Healthpeak”), a Maryland corporation, announced that it intended to implement a corporate reorganization into a new holding company structure commonly referred to as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust, or UPREIT. On February 7, 2023, in connection with such intended reorganization, Old Healthpeak entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the company formerly known as New Healthpeak, Inc. (“New Healthpeak”), a Maryland corporation, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Healthpeak, and Healthpeak Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Maryland corporation, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of New Healthpeak.

Effective on February 10, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Healthpeak, with Old Healthpeak continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Healthpeak (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger, (a) the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased and (b) each share of Old Healthpeak common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger converted on a share-for-share basis into an issued and outstanding share of New Healthpeak common stock. In connection with and immediately following the Merger, Old Healthpeak converted from a Maryland corporation to a Maryland limited liability company called “Healthpeak OP, LLC”, and New Healthpeak inherited the name “Healthpeak Properties, Inc.” and became the successor issuer to Old Healthpeak pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

As a result of the Merger, Old Healthpeak terminated all offers and sales of its securities registered for issuance on the Registration Statement that remained unsold thereunder as of the date hereof.
