(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of September 30, 2024, are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. The lease for the Clive facility is guaranteed on a several basis by UHS (52%) and Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa (48%).

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and three behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at September 30, 2024, accounted for approximately 24% and 25% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and approximately 24% and 25% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the six UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty properties consisting of medical/office buildings and free-standing emergency departments ("FEDs") that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 40% and 41% of our consolidated revenues during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 41% of our consolidated revenues during each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates, which was amended during the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the terms of which: (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million; (ii) two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $26.0 million, and; (iii) we paid approximately $4.1 million in cash to UHS.

As a result of UHS’ purchase option within the lease agreements of Aiken and Canyon Creek, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale leaseback in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the properties acquired by us in connection with the asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS, as amended, were accounted for as financing arrangements. Our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include financing receivables related to this transaction of $82.9 million and $83.3 million, respectively.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases as amended, (with us as lessor), for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined

in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. Pursuant to the leases, as amended during the first quarter of 2022, the aggregate annual rental rate during 2024 on the acquired properties, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, is approximately $5.9 million ($4.1 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). The portion of the lease payments that is included in our consolidated statements of income, and reflected as interest income on financing leases, was approximately $1.4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and approximately $4.1 million for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases.

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021, as amended), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for a specified period after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for a specified period after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.

In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health. This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020, and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. On each January 1st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of September 30, 2024, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

On each January 1st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis.

In October, 2024, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS each exercised their 5-year renewal options on two FEDs located in Weslaco and Mission, Texas, covering the period of February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030 (the current lease terms were scheduled to expire on January 31, 2025; with aggregate annual lease rates of approximately $979,000). Pursuant to terms of the leases, and consistent with

the terms of the leases currently in effect for each property, the lease rates are scheduled to increase 2% per year through the end of the renewed lease terms. The wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS have five, 5-year renewal options remaining on each of these FEDs, with the first three renewal options (covering the years 2030 through 2044) providing for 2% annual increases to the lease rates, and the remaining two, 5-year renewal options (covering the years 2045 through 2054) providing for lease rates at the then fair market value. These leases are cross-defaulted with one another and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS have the option to purchase the leased properties upon the expiration of each five-year extended term at the fair market value at that time.
