Organization</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in healthcare related real estate, primarily senior housing, long-term care properties and medical office buildings. Whenever we refer herein to “NHP” or to “us” or use the terms “we” or “our,” we are referring to Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">We primarily make our investments by acquiring an ownership interest in senior housing and long-term care facilities and leasing them to unaffiliated tenants under “triple-net” “master” leases that transfer the obligation for all facility operating costs (including maintenance, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures) to the tenant. We also invest in medical office buildings which are not generally subject to “triple-net” leases and generally have several tenants under separate leases in each building, thus requiring active management and responsibility for many of the associated operating expenses (although many of these are, or can effectively be, passed through to the tenants). Some of the medical office buildings are subject to “triple-net” leases. In addition, but to a much lesser extent because we view the risks of this activity to be greater due to less favorable bankruptcy treatment and other factors, from time to time, we extend mortgage loans and other financing to operators. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 94% of our revenues were derived from leases, with the remaining 6% from mortgage loans, other financing activities and other miscellaneous income. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We intend to continue to qualify as such and therefore distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding capital gain) to our stockholders. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, and we distribute 100% of our taxable income to our stockholders, we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our income that is distributed to stockholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">As of September 30, 2010, we had investments in 636 healthcare facilities, one land parcel and one development project located in 43 states, consisting of: </div> <div align="center"> <table style="font-size: 10pt;
