Dividends
On February 1, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share. The common stock cash dividend will be paid on February 23, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2023.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company declared and paid common stock cash dividends of $1.20, $1.20, and $1.48 per share, respectively.
At-The-Market Equity Offering Program
In February 2020, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (as amended from time to time, the “ATM Program”), which was most recently amended in May 2021 to increase the size of the program from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion, pursuant to which shares of common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.5 billion may be sold (i) by the Company through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents or directly to the banks acting as principals or (ii) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement (each, an “ATM forward contract”). The use of ATM forward contracts allows the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares at the time the ATM forward contract is effective, but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date.
ATM forward contracts generally have a one to two year term. At any time during the term, the Company may settle a forward sale by delivery of physical shares of common stock to the forward seller or, at the Company’s election, in cash or net shares. The forward sale price the Company expects to receive upon settlement of outstanding ATM forward contracts will be the initial forward price established upon the effective date, subject to adjustments for: (i) accrued interest, (ii) the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs, and (iii) certain fixed price reductions during the term of the ATM forward contract.
At December 31, 2022, $1.18 billion of the Company’s common stock remained available for sale under the ATM Program.
ATM Forward Contracts
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company utilized the forward provisions under a previous ATM program established in 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) to allow for the sale of an aggregate of 2.0 million shares of its common stock at an initial weighted average net price of $35.23 per share, after commissions. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company settled 16.8 million shares previously outstanding under the 2019 ATM Program at a weighted average net price of $31.38 per share, after commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $528 million. At December 31, 2020, no shares remained outstanding under the 2019 ATM Program.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company utilized the forward provisions under the ATM Program to allow for the sale of an aggregate of 9.1 million shares of its common stock at an initial weighted average net price of $35.25 per share, after commissions. None of these shares were settled during the year and therefore, all 9.1 million shares remained outstanding at December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company settled all 9.1 million shares previously outstanding under ATM forward contracts at a weighted average net price of $34.01 per share, after commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $308 million. Therefore, at December 31, 2022, no shares remained outstanding under ATM forward contracts.
ATM Direct Issuances
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, there were no direct issuances of shares of common stock under the ATM program.
Forward Equity Offerings
November 2019 Offering. In November 2019, the Company entered into a forward equity sales agreement (the “2019 forward equity sales agreement”) to sell an aggregate of 15.6 million shares of its common stock (including shares sold through the exercise of underwriters’ options) at an initial net price of $34.46 per share, after underwriting discounts and commissions, which was subject to adjustments for: (i) accrued interest, (ii) the forward purchasers’ stock borrowing costs, and (iii) certain fixed price reductions during the term of the agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company settled all 15.6 million shares under the 2019 forward equity sales agreement at a weighted average net price of $34.18 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $534 million (total net proceeds of $1.06 billion, when aggregated with the net proceeds from settling ATM forward contracts under the 2019 ATM Program, as discussed above). Therefore, at December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, no shares remained outstanding under the 2019 forward equity sales agreement.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may acquire shares of its common stock in the open market up to an aggregate purchase price of $500 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Purchases of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program may be exercised at the Company’s discretion with the timing and number of shares repurchased depending on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The Share Repurchase Program expires in August 2024 and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. Under Maryland General Corporation Law, outstanding shares of common stock acquired by a corporation become authorized but unissued shares, which may be re-issued. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $27.16 per share for a total of $56 million. Therefore, at December 31, 2022, $444 million of the Company’s common stock remained available for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Arrangements with noncontrolling interest holders are assessed for appropriate balance sheet classification based on the redemption and other rights held by the noncontrolling interest holder. Certain of the Company’s noncontrolling interest holders have the ability to put their equity interests to the Company upon specified events or after the passage of a predetermined period of time. Each put option is payable in cash and subject to increases in redemption value in the event that the underlying property generates specified returns for the Company and meets certain promote thresholds pursuant to the respective agreements. Accordingly, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity and presents the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, one of the redeemable noncontrolling interests met the conditions for redemption and the related put option was exercised during the year then ended. Accordingly, the Company made a cash payment for the redemption value of $60 million to the related noncontrolling interest holder during the year ended December 31, 2021 and acquired the redeemable noncontrolling interest associated with this entity. During the year ended December 31, 2022, one of the redeemable noncontrolling interests met the conditions for redemption, but was not yet exercised. The three remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests had not yet met the conditions for redemption as of December 31, 2022. Two of the interests will become redeemable following the passage of a predetermined amount of time, which will occur in 2023 and 2024. The fourth interest will become redeemable at the earlier of a predetermined passage of time or stabilization of the underlying development property, which is expected to occur in 2023. The redemption values are subject to change based on the assessment of redemption value at each redemption date.
Noncontrolling Interests
The non-managing member units of the Company’s DownREITs are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). Upon exchange of DownREIT units for the Company’s common stock, the carrying amount of the DownREIT units is reclassified to stockholders’ equity. At December 31, 2022, there were five million DownREIT units (seven million shares of Healthpeak common stock are issuable upon conversion) outstanding in seven DownREIT LLCs, for all of which the Company acts as the managing member. At December 31, 2022, the carrying and market values of the five million DownREIT units were $200 million and $183 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the carrying and market values of the five million DownREIT units were $201 million and $264 million, respectively.
