Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On October 3, 2022, Pipeline Health System, LLC (“Pipeline”), announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Pipeline operates seven hospitals in three states, including the White Rock Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, an acute-care hospital owned by Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) where Pipeline is the sole tenant. According to the filed bankruptcy documents, although Pipeline has experienced the same labor and reimbursement pressures that many acute-care hospitals have been facing since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the primary reason for the filing relates to Pipeline’s facilities in Chicago, Illinois, and not the White Rock Medical Center. Additionally, Pipeline has stated that it intends to keep its hospitals open and operating during the Chapter 11 restructuring process and, to date, Pipeline is current in its rental payments to the Company. The Company is closely monitoring Pipeline’s reorganization process and will provide market updates as appropriate.
