Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This report and other materials the Company has filed or may file with the SEC, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made, or to be made, by management of the Company, contain, or will contain, disclosures that are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “target,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “continue,” “should,” “could," "budget" and other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current plans, objectives, estimates, expectations and intentions and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following: the Company’s expected results may not be achieved; failure to realize the expected benefits of the Merger; risks related to future opportunities and plans for the Company, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the Company; the possibility that, if the Company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors, the market price of the Company’s common stock could decline; pandemics or other health crises, such as COVID-19; increases in interest rates; the availability and cost of capital at expected rates; competition for quality assets; negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of the Company's tenants, including, but not limited to, their ability to pay rent; the Company's ability to reposition or sell facilities with profitable results; the Company's ability to release space at similar rates as vacancies occur; the Company's ability to renew expiring leases; government regulations affecting tenants' Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and operational requirements; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to future acquisitions and developments; changes in rules or practices governing the Company's financial reporting; the Company may be required under purchase options to sell properties and may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from such sales at rates of return equal to the return received on the properties sold; uninsured or underinsured losses related to casualty or liability; the incurrence of impairment charges on its real estate properties or other assets; other legal and operational matters; and other risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, including those described from time to time under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s filings and reports with the SEC, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which the Company is not currently aware may also affect the Company's forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were made, except as required by law. Stockholders and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in the Company’s filings and reports, including, without limitation, estimates and projections regarding the performance of development projects the Company is pursuing. For a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors, please refer to the Company's filings with the SEC, including this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources and Uses of Cash The Company’s primary sources of cash include rent receipts from its real estate portfolio based on contractual arrangements with its tenants, proceeds from the sales of real estate properties, joint ventures, and proceeds from public or private debt or equity offerings. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 billion available to be drawn on its unsecured credit facility ("Unsecured Credit Facility") and available cash. The Company expects to continue to meet its liquidity needs, including funding additional investments, paying dividends, and funding debt service, through cash flows from operations and liquidity sources, including the 20 Table of Contents Unsecured Credit Facility. Management believes that the Company's liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs. Dividends paid by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were funded from cash flows from operations and the Unsecured Credit Facility, as cash flows from operations were not adequate to fully fund dividends, primarily as a result of the timing of interest payments. The Company expects that cash flows from property operations will generate sufficient cash flows such that dividends for the full year 2024 can be funded by cash flows from operations or other sources of liquidity described above. Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $58.6 million. Below is a summary of the investing activities. Acquisitions The Company had no acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Dispositions The Company had no real estate dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company disposed of two medical outpatient buildings totaling 39,000 square feet for $5.8 million. The two properties were held for sale as of March 31, 2024. Capital Expenditures During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred capital expenditures totaling $58.6 million for the following: • $10.5 million toward active development and redevelopment of properties; • $11.1 million toward completed development and redevelopment of properties; • $11.8 million toward first generation tenant improvements and planned capital expenditures for acquisitions; • $19.9 million toward second generation tenant improvements; and • $5.3 million toward capital expenditures. Financing Activities Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $17.1 million. See Notes 4 and 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this report for more information about capital markets and financing activities. Debt Activity As of March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding interest rate derivatives totaling $1.1 billion to hedge one-month Term SOFR. The following details the amount and rate of each swap (dollars in thousands): EXPIRATION DATE AMOUNT WEIGHTED AVERAGE RATE May 2026 $ 275,000 3.74 % June 2026 150,000 3.83 % December 2026 150,000 3.84 % June 2027 200,000 4.27 % December 2027 300,000 3.93 % $ 1,075,000 3.92 % 21 Table of Contents Changes in Mortgage Notes Payable During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repaid in full at maturity a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 4.77% per annum with an outstanding principal balance of $11.3 million. The mortgage note encumbered a 63,012 square foot property in California. Additionally, the Company repaid in full at maturity a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 4.12% per annum with an outstanding principal balance of $5.6 million. T he mortgage note encumbered a 40,324 squ are foot property in Georgia . Supplemental Guarantor Information The OP has issued unsecured notes described in Note 4 to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. All unsecured notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, and the OP is 98.6% owned by the Company. Effective January 4, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements which permit subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent to omit separate financial statements if the consolidated financial statements of the parent company have been filed, the subsidiary obligor is a consolidated subsidiary of the parent company, the guaranteed security is debt or debt-like, and the security is guaranteed fully and unconditionally by the parent. Accordingly, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for the OP because the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the OP are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in the Company's consolidated financial statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors. Operating Activities Cash flows provided by operating activities increased from $69.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $76.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Items impacting cash flows from operations include, but are not limited to, cash generated from property operations, interest payments and the timing related to the payment of invoices and other expenses. The Company may, from time to time, sell properties and redeploy cash from property sales into new investments or to repay indebtedness. The income from the new investments or reduction in interest expense could be less than the income from properties sold which would adversely affect the Company's results of operations and cash flows. Trends and Matters Impacting Operating Results Management monitors factors and trends important to the Company and the REIT industry to gauge the potential impact on the operations of the Company. In addition to the matters discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, below are some of the factors and trends that management believes may impact future operations of the Company. Economic and Market Conditions Rising interest rates and increased volatility in the capital markets have increased the Company’s cost and availability of debt and equity capital. Limited availability and increases in the cost of capital could adversely impact the Company’s ability to finance operations and acquire and develop properties. To the extent the Company’s tenants experience increased costs or financing difficulties due to the economic and market conditions, they may be unable or unwilling to make payments or perform their obligations when due. Additionally, increased interest rates may also result in less liquid property markets, limiting the Company’s ability to sell existing assets or obtain joint venture capital. Expiring Leases The Company expects that approximately 15% o f its leases will expire each year in the ordinary course of business. There are 1,146 leases totaling 3. 5 million square feet that will expire during the remainder of 2024. Approximately 75% of t he leases expiring during the remainder of 2024 are for space in buildings located on or adjacent to hospital campuses, are distributed throughout the portfolio, and are not concentrated with any one tenant, health system or market area. The Company typically expects to retain 75% to 90% of tenants upon expiration, and the retention ratio for the first three months of the year was within this range. 22 Table of Contents Operating Expenses The Company historically has experienced increases in property taxes throughout its portfolio as a result of increasing assessments and tax rates levied across the country. The Company continues its efforts to appeal property tax increases and manage the impact of the increases. In addition, the Company historically has incurred variability in portfolio utilities expense based on seasonality, with the first and third quarters usually reflecting greater amounts. The effects of these operating expense increases are mitigated in leases that have provisions for operating expense reimbursement. As of March 31, 2024, leases for approximatel y 92% of the Company's total leased square footage allow for some recovery of operating expenses, with approxima tely 28% h aving modified gross lease structures and approxima tely 64% h aving net lease structures. Purchase Options Information about the Company's unexercised purchase options and the amount and basis for determination of the purchase price is detailed in the table below (dollars in thousands): YEAR EXERCISABLE NUMBER OF PROPERTIES GROSS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT AS OF MARCH 31, 2024 1 Current 2 6 $ 110,891 2025 5 93,860 2026 6 181,744 2027 4 110,574 2028 5 134,893 2029 3 81,846 2030 — — 2031 4 106,016 2032 2 23,415 2033 — — 2034 and thereafter 3 9 319,710 Total 44 $ 1,162,949 1 Includes three properties totaling $45.4 million with stated purchase prices or prices based on fixed capitalization rates. 2 These purchase options have been exercisable for an average of 14.1 years. 3 Includes two medical office buildings that are recorded in the line item Investment in financing receivable, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators Management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical consolidated operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income and cash flows from operations as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 23 Table of Contents Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Normalized FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, impairment, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” In addition to FFO, the Company presents Normalized FFO and FAD. Normalized FFO is presented by adding to FFO acquisition-related costs, acceleration of debt issuance costs, debt extinguishment costs and other Company-defined normalizing items to evaluate operating performance. FAD is presented by adding to Normalized FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, non-cash financing receivable amortization, loan origination cost amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, stock-based compensation expense and rent reserves, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid and straight-line rent income, net of expense. The Company's definition of these terms may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing these amounts. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of the Company's liquidity. FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD should be reviewed in connection with GAAP financial measures. Management believes FFO, Normalized FFO, FFO per common share, Normalized FFO per share and FAD ("Non-GAAP Measures") provide an understanding of the operating performance of the Company’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The Company believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, Non-GAAP Measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. The Company reports Non-GAAP Measures because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management deems it appropriate to disclose and discuss these Non-GAAP Measures. However, none of these measures represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Further, these measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 24 Table of Contents The table below reconciles net income to FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Management considers these to be supplemental measures that allow investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level operating results. The Company defines Cash NOI as rental income, interest from financing receivables less property operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes non-cash items such as above and below market lease intangibles, straight-line rent, lease inducements, financing receivable amortization, tenant improvement amortization and leasing commission amortization. The Company also excludes cash lease termination fees. Cash NOI is historical and not necessarily indicative of future results. Same Store Cash NOI compares Cash NOI for stabilized properties. Stabilized properties are properties that have been included in operations for the duration of the year-over-year comparison period presented. Accordingly, stabilized properties exclude properties that were recently acquired or disposed of, properties classified as held for sale or intended for sale, properties undergoing redevelopment, and newly redeveloped or developed properties. The Company utilizes the redevelopment classification for properties where management has approved a change in strategic direction for such properties through the application of additional resources including an amount of capital expenditures significantly above routine maintenance and capital improvement expenditures. Any recently acquired property will be included in the same store pool once the Company has owned the property for five full quarters. Newly developed or redeveloped properties will be included in the same store pool five full quarters after substantial completion. The following table reflects the Company's Same Store Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Impairment of Real Estate Properties In the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized impairments totaling $15.9 million on four properties with changes in the expected holding periods, including one property reclassified to held for sale. Impairment of Goodwill The Company determined that the carrying value if its single reporting unit exceeded estimated fair value and therefore recorded a $250.5 million full impairment of its goodwill, which is recorded as a non-cash charge in “Impairment of goodwill” in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this report for more details. 28 Table of Contents Equity loss from unconsolidated joint ventures The Company recognized its proportionate share of losses from its unconsolidated joint ventures. These losses are primarily attributable to non-cash depreciation expense. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this report for more details regarding the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures.
