PART I

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

Organization

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  As described below, until July 9, 2020, the Company was externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management LLC (the “Former Advisor”).

On July 9, 2020, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Inter-American Group Holdings Inc. (“IAGH”), the parent company of the Former Advisor, for a cash purchase price of $18.1 million, subject to a working capital adjustment (the “Internalization”).  The Internalization was completed pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Zensun Enterprises Limited (“Zensun”) and Mr. Jeffrey Busch. Prior to the Internalization, IAGH was owned by Zensun (85%) and Mr. Busch (15%).

 A special committee (the “Special Committee”) comprised entirely of independent and disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), after consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, determined that the Internalization was advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company’s stockholders and recommended that the Board authorize and approve the Internalization. Upon such recommendation from the Special Committee, the Board authorized and approved the Internalization. Approval by the Company’s stockholders was not required.

 Upon completion of the Internalization, the Management Agreement (as defined in Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions”) was terminated, the employees of the Former Advisor became employees of the Company and the functions previously performed by the Former Advisor were internalized by the Company.  

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We conduct our business through an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure in which our properties are owned by wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2020, we owned 93.56% of the outstanding common operating partnership units (“OP Units”) of our Operating Partnership.

Business Overview

We believe that the aging of America and the decentralization of healthcare services are increasing the need for purpose-built healthcare facilities operated by strong physician groups and healthcare systems. Accordingly, we seek to invest in healthcare facilities that align with contemporary trends in healthcare delivery.

Our healthcare facilities are primarily located in secondary markets and suburbs of primary markets and are typically leased to single-tenants under triple-net leases. Most of our tenants are physician groups, regional or national healthcare systems or combinations thereof.

Our Business Objectives and Investment Strategy

Our principal business objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders through a combination of (i) reliable dividends and (ii) long-term capital appreciation. Our primary strategies to achieve our business objective are to:

construct a portfolio of healthcare facilities that are primarily located in secondary markets and suburbs of primary markets and are situated to take advantage of the aging of the U.S. population and the decentralization of the healthcare delivery system;

5

Table of Contents

lease our properties to healthcare tenants with profitable practices that are utilized by an aging population and are highly dependent on their purpose-built real estate to deliver core medical procedures, such as cardiovascular treatment, rehabilitation, eye surgery, gastroenterology, oncology treatment and orthopedics;
set aside a portion of our property portfolio for opportunistic acquisitions, including (i) certain acute-care hospitals and long-term acute care facilities (LTACs) that we believe provide premium, risk-adjusted returns, (ii) health system corporate office and administrative buildings, which we believe will help us develop relationships with larger health systems and (iii) behavioral and mental health facilities that are operated by national or regional operators and are located in markets that demonstrate a need for such services; and
lease our facilities under triple-net leases with contractual annual rent escalations.

Impact of COVID-19 and Business Outlook

The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources during 2020. While we are still navigating the actual and potential impacts the pandemic will have on our tenants and our business, the sections below summarize management’s view of the potential impacts the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and other various company-specific matters.

The COVID-19 outbreak and the measures taken by governmental authorities to contain its spread have resulted in substantial adverse effects on the U.S. economy, and specifically the healthcare industry. The full impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy and our tenants’ businesses and operations remains unknown, as the velocity of this economic slowdown and the subsequent job losses are unique and historical in many ways. While these events have already had a significant impact on the healthcare industry, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of such impact. However, at the onset of the outbreak, we began working with certain of our tenants that were experiencing significant disruptions in their businesses to help them navigate the pandemic, including assisting our tenants in applying for government financial relief and, in certain limited circumstances, entering into rent deferral agreements. The aggregate amount of such rent deferrals equaled $1.1 million and, as of December 31, 2020, $0.1 million was outstanding.  Because the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our tenants will depend on future developments, including a resurgence of COVID-19 or its variants, there can be no assurance that our tenants will continue to be able meet the requirements of these agreements, or that these tenants, or other tenants, may not seek additional relief in the future. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity and operational and financial performance will depend on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to return to normal patient volumes and whether a resurgence of COVID-19 or its variants causes further shutdowns or disruptions in our tenants’ businesses.

At the onset of the outbreak, many states banned elective and non-urgent medical procedures. Many states have since lifted these bans; however, the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases in many states, including many states in which our facilities are located, may cause such states to reinstitute these bans. For example, certain trauma service areas in Texas have restrictions on performing elective surgeries at hospitals if COVID-19 hospitalizations comprise 15% of more of total hospital capacity for seven consecutive days in such area. Given that many of our tenants depend on elective and non-urgent medical procedures as a major source of revenue, a reinstituted ban on these procedures may have a material adverse effect on our tenants’ businesses. In addition, in response to the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, local, state and federal agencies have or may reinstitute stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, which may result in many of our tenants experiencing significantly reduced patient volumes and, even where no such restrictions exist, patients may be reluctant to undertake certain medical procedures and our tenants may institute social distancing measures, each of which may cause our tenants to experience decreased patient volumes for an extended period of time. In addition, if additional government funding is not provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act"), subsequent stimulus and COVID-19 relief bills or new legislation, our tenants may not be able to rely on future government assistance programs to withstand another downturn in their businesses. Although we believe our acquisition pipeline has normalized since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a resurgence of COVID-19 could cause another disruption in the medical real estate acquisition market that could have a material adverse effect on our acquisition growth.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on our liquidity. However, a resurgence of COVID-19 that affects our tenants’ ability to pay rent to us, our lenders ability to lend to us, or our ability to raise equity capital could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Ground Leases

As of December 31, 2020, we leased the land upon which six of our buildings are located, representing approximately 3.1% of our total leasable square feet and approximately 4.1% of our December 2020 annualized base rent. The ground leases subject these properties to certain restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to re-let such facilities to tenants not affiliated with the ground lessor, rights of first offer and refusal with respect to sales of the facilities and restrictions that limit the types of medical procedures that may be performed at the facilities.

Recent Developments

Closed Acquisitions

Since December 31, 2020, we have completed three acquisitions encompassing an aggregate of 86,035 leasable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $25.4 million with annualized base rent of $2.0 million.

Table of Contents

Properties Under Contract

As of March 3, 2021, we had six properties under contract for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75.7 million. We are currently in the due diligence period for our properties under contract. If we identify problems with any of these properties or the operator of any property during our due diligence review, we may not close the transactions on a timely basis or we may terminate the purchase agreements and not close the transactions.

Lease Renewal Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we extended leases totaling 7.1% of our ABR, including two Encompass leases originally expiring in 2021 and the Kindred lease at Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for a weighted average additional term of 9.2 years.

Healthcare Industry and Healthcare Real Estate Market Opportunity

We believe the U.S. healthcare industry is continuing its rapid pace of growth due to increasing healthcare expenditures, favorable demographic trends, evolving patient preferences and evolving government initiatives.

U.S. Healthcare Spending Expected to Increase by an Average of 5.4% per Year Between 2019 and 2028

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, healthcare spending grew by 4.6% in 2019 to $3.8 trillion, and is expected to increase by an average of 5.4% per year through 2028, outpacing the gross domestic product’s (“GDP”) average annual growth rate of 4.3%. CMS projected that by 2028, health care spending would reach $6.2 trillion, and would account for 19.7% of GDP. We believe the demand for healthcare facilities by healthcare providers will increase as health spending in the United States continues to increase, which will increase the potential supply of healthcare facilities in the market.

Aging U.S. Population Driving Increase in Demand for Healthcare Services

The general aging of the population, driven by the baby boomer generation and advances in medical technology and services which increase life expectancy, is a key driver of the growth in healthcare expenditures. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the segment of the population consisting of people 65 years or older comprise the fastest growing segment of the overall U.S. population. We believe that demographic trends in the United States, including, in particular, an aging population, will result in continued growth in the demand for healthcare services utilized by an aging population, which in turn will lead to an increasing need for a greater supply of specialized, well-located healthcare facilities.

Clinical Care Continues to Shift Away from Large, Centralized Facilities

We believe the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare services away from large, centralized facilities to smaller, more specialized facilities will increase the need for smaller, more specialized and efficient hospitals and outpatient facilities that take advantage of these shifting trends. Procedures traditionally performed in large, general hospitals, such as certain types of surgeries, are increasingly moving to more conveniently located, specialized facilities driven by advances in clinical science, shifting consumer preferences, limited or inefficient space in existing hospitals and lower costs in the non-hospital environment.

We believe that healthcare is delivered more cost effectively and with higher patient satisfaction when it is provided outside of a large, centralized hospital environment. Increased specialization within the medical field is also driving demand for medical facilities that are purpose-built for particular specialties.

Opportunistic Acquisitions

Despite the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare services to smaller, more specialized facilities, we believe opportunities exist to acquire larger, acute-care facilities, such as acute-care hospitals and LTACs, with very attractive submarket fundamentals at

9

Table of Contents

compelling valuations. Despite the trends away from acute-care facilities, we believe that certain, well-located acute-care hospitals and LTACs will still be critical components of the U.S. healthcare system.

We also opportunistically invest in large health system’s corporate and administrative office buildings. We believe investments in these types of facilities helps us build relationships with large health systems, which could lead to us becoming a preferred landlord for such health systems’ medical facilities.

We may also invest in behavioral and mental health facilities that are operated by national or regional operators and are in markets that demonstrate a need for such services.  

Although not the primary focus of our investment strategy, we believe allocating a portion of our portfolio for opportunistic acquisitions helps diversify our portfolio and is consistent with our strategy of aligning ourselves with strong operators.

Qualification as a REIT

We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. Subject to a number of significant exceptions, a corporation that qualifies as a REIT generally is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on income and gains that it distributes to its stockholders, thereby reducing its corporate-level taxes. In order to qualify as a REIT, a substantial percentage of our assets must be qualifying real estate assets and a substantial percentage of our income must be rental revenue from real property or interest on mortgage loans. We believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. However, we cannot provide assurances that we will continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

Competition

We compete with many other real estate investors for acquisitions of healthcare properties, including healthcare operators, and real estate investors such as private equity firms and other REITs, some of whom may have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital than we do. The competition for healthcare properties may significantly increase the price that we must pay for healthcare properties, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring those properties or assets themselves. In addition, our potential acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive because they may have greater resources, may be willing to pay more for the properties or may have a more compatible operating philosophy.

Additionally, our healthcare facilities and tenants often face competition from nearby hospitals, other medical practices and other healthcare facilities, including urgent care and other primary care facilities, that provide comparable services. If our tenants’ competitors have greater geographic coverage, improved access and convenience to physicians and patients, provide or are perceived to provide higher quality services, recruit physicians to provide competing services at their facilities, expand or improve their services or obtain more favorable managed-care contracts, our tenants may not be able to successfully compete.

The CARES Act was passed on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and authorized more than $2 trillion to assist individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic.   Title III of the CARES Act focuses on the U.S. healthcare system and includes increases to Medicare payments and provisions to temporarily relax several provider-related Medicare requirements.  For example, the CARES Act authorizes a 20% increase in patient prospective payment system payments and provides expanded eligibility for advances in Medicare payments under its Accelerated and Advance Payment Program (AAP).  The CARES Act also provides for extended and flexible repayment provisions for AAP advances.  The AAP provisions of the CARES Act provided many healthcare providers, including some of our tenants, with needed liquidity during the spring and summer of 2020, when patient volumes severely reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act is a comprehensive healthcare reform law that contains various provisions that may directly impact our tenants. The primary goal of the Affordable Care Act is to broaden insurance coverage for the uninsured population by expanding Medicaid coverage, creating health insurance exchanges and mandating that uninsured individuals purchase health insurance. The Affordable Care Act also contains provisions aimed at lowering the cost of healthcare, including lowering increases in Medicare payment rates and promoting alternate reimbursement methods for providers that focus on patient outcomes rather than volume. In addition to expanding coverage and controlling costs, the Affordable Care Act also contains provisions intended to combat healthcare fraud, including Medicare fraud and abuse. On June 28, 2012, the United States Supreme Court partially invalidated the expansion of Medicaid and allowed states not to participate in the expansion without losing their existing Medicaid funding.

Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, there have been multiple attempts through legislative action and legal challenge to repeal or amend the Affordable Care Act. Although there continue to be judicial challenges to the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court has thus far upheld the Affordable Care Act, including, most recently, in their June 25, 2015 ruling on King v. Burwell. On January 20, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order aimed at seeking the prompt repeal of the Affordable Care Act and directed the heads of all executive departments and agencies to minimize the economic and regulatory burdens of the Affordable Care Act to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, on December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the TCJA. The TCJA eliminated the tax penalty for violating the individual mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act. Also, on December 14, 2018, in Texas v. Azar, the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas invalidated the Affordable Care Act based on the elimination of the tax penalty for violating the individual mandate provision by the TCJA, and on January 9, 2020, the Firth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision that the individual mandate component of the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional but did not invalidate the entire law. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the question of whether the remainder of the Affordable Care Act can exist without the individual mandate back to the lower court for further analysis. On November 10, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments on Texas v. Azar but has not yet rendered its decision. We cannot predict whether any future attempts to amend or repeal the Affordable Care Act will be successful or that the decision in Texas v. Azar will be overturned or confirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court of the United States. The future of the Affordable Care Act is uncertain and any changes to existing laws and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act’s repeal, modification or replacement, could have a long-term financial impact on the delivery of and payment for healthcare. Both our tenants and us may be adversely affected by the law or its repeal, modification or replacement.

Although the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of insurance coverage may benefit our tenants by increasing their number of insured patients, these benefits may be offset by the fact that (i) many of the newly insured under the Affordable Care Act are insured by policies that have high deductibles (and, thus, create higher patient credit risks for our tenants), (ii) some states have not implemented the Medicaid expansion or have implemented Medicaid expansion in such ways that may reduce potential enrollment (such as implementing work requirements), and, (iii) even if states have expanded Medicaid, Medicaid may not be accepted by some of our tenants. For our tenants that do accept Medicaid, they may receive lower reimbursements for Medicaid patients than for patients with Medicare or commercial insurance. Additionally, although the migration from Medicare fee-for-service, or volume-based, payments to an outcome-based reimbursement model may lower overall healthcare costs, these changes could negatively affect our tenants if they are unable to adapt to a more outcome-oriented healthcare delivery model.

Medicare and Medicaid Programs

Sources of revenue for our tenants typically include the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Healthcare providers continue to face increased government pressure to control or reduce healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under the Affordable Care Act. In some cases, private insurers rely on all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine payment rates, which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers.

The recent economic downturn in the United States could negatively affect state budgets, thereby putting pressure on states to decrease spending on Medicaid. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid eligibility requirements. Additionally, in early 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued guidance that would allow states to impose work requirements as a condition to Medicaid eligibility, which could dampen enrollment in the program.

Efforts by Medicare and Medicaid to reduce reimbursements will likely continue, which could negatively affect our tenant’s revenues and their ability to pay rent to us.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from, or are able to make referrals in connection with, government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Our leases with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws. These laws include, without limitation:

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the referral of any U.S. federal or state healthcare program patients;
The Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition (commonly called the “Stark Law”), which, subject to specific exceptions, restricts physicians who have financial relationships with healthcare providers from making referrals for designated health services for which payment may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship;
The False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including under the Medicare and Medicaid programs;
The Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts; and
State anti-kickback, anti-inducement, anti-referral and insurance fraud laws which may be generally similar to, and potentially more expansive than, the federal laws set forth above.

Violations of these laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, the Affordable Care Act clarifies that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The federal government has taken the position, and some courts have held, that violations of other laws, such as the Stark Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments to us. Further, we enter into leases and other financial relationships with healthcare delivery systems that are subject to or impacted by these laws. In the future we may have other investors who are healthcare providers in certain of our subsidiaries that own our healthcare facilities. If any of our relationships, including those related to the other investors in our subsidiaries, are found not to comply with these laws, we and our physician investors may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.

Other Regulations

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, and certification for participation in government programs, billing for services, privacy and security of health information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which provides for the privacy and security of certain individually identifiable health information, and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could negatively affect our financial condition and the financial condition of our tenants. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.

Many states regulate the construction of healthcare facilities, the expansion of healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of certain services, including by way of example specific bed types and medical equipment, as well as certain capital expenditures through certificate of need, or CON, laws. Under such laws, the applicable state regulatory body must determine a need

exists for a project before the project can be undertaken. If one of our tenants seeks to undertake a CON-regulated project but is not authorized by the applicable regulatory body to proceed with the project, the tenants would be prevented from operating in its intended manner.

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could adversely affect us directly and our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us.

Environmental Matters

Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and prior owners and tenants of real estate may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such healthcare facility. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or tenant of a healthcare facility from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage that results from such release, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or tenant knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or materials, may adversely affect the owner’s or tenant’s ability to lease, sell, develop or rent such healthcare facility or to borrow by using such healthcare facility as collateral. Persons who transport or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.

Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and tenants of real property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions.

Human Capital Resources

Upon completion of the Internalization, the employees of the Former Advisor became employees of the Company and the functions previously performed by the Former Advisor were internalized by the Company.  As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 22 employees.  

Our success is dependent on the success of our employees. We believe we offer a competitive benefits package and foster the development of our employees’ expertise and skillsets, and encourage our employees to build new skill sets, such as in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) space.  We have established policies to provide a safe, harassment-free work environment and have fostered a corporate culture based on fair and equal treatment. As a result, we believe our employees are committed to building strong, innovative and long-term relationships with each other and with our tenants.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been encouraging all of our employees at our corporate office to work remotely until further notice.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The following summarizes the material risks of purchasing or owning our securities. Our business, financial condition and/or results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be materially adversely affected by the nature and impact of these risks. In such case, the market value of our securities could be detrimentally affected, and investors may lose part or all of the value of their investment. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in this Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our and our tenants’ businesses could be materially and adversely affected in the case of a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or a new outbreak of a COVID-19 variant or a different virus.

We are dependent on our tenants for substantially all our revenues. Our tenants face a wide range of business risks, including economic, competitive, government reimbursement and regulatory risks, any of which could cause our tenants to be unable to pay rent to us.

Our assets are concentrated in healthcare-related facilities, making us more economically vulnerable to specific industry-related risks than if our assets were diversified across different industries.

The inability of any of our significant tenants to pay rent to us could have a disproportionate negative affect on our revenues.

Most of our healthcare facilities are occupied by a single tenant, and we may have difficulty finding suitable replacement tenants in the event of a tenant default or non-renewal of our leases, especially for our healthcare facilities located in smaller markets.

We have significant geographic concentration in a small number of states, including Texas, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. Economic and other conditions that negatively affect those states and our tenants in those states could have a greater effect on our revenues than if our properties were more geographically diverse.

We finance most of our portfolio with secured debt from our Credit Facility. We are subject to the risks associated with secured, floating-rate debt, including the potential of an increase in our interest expense, Credit Facility capacity, covenant restrictions and the risk of foreclosure.

We rely on external sources of capital to fund future capital needs, and, if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future acquisitions necessary to grow our business or meet maturing obligations.

Subject to certain requirements under Maryland law and REIT requirements, the Board has sole discretion to determine if we will pay distributions and the amount and frequency of such distributions, and past distribution amounts may not be indicative of future distribution amounts.

Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for distributions to our stockholders.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Our and our tenants’ business could be materially and adversely affected in the case of a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or a new outbreak of a COVID-19 variant or a different virus.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a massive downturn in the U.S. and world economy during 2020.  The healthcare industry was not spared from this downturn as patient volumes declined due to patients’ reluctance to seek non-emergency medical services during the pandemic and state and local government stay-at-home orders and bans on certain elective procedures in order to curtail the spread of the virus.  Although most of our tenants were able to operate during the height of the pandemic in the spring and summer of 2020, they did so at reduced patient volume levels that strained their finances and, in some cases, needed to enter into rent deferral agreements with us.  Even though COVID-19 vaccines are now being administered, it is uncertain when or if the COVID-19 pandemic will subside to the point where patient volumes return to pre-COVID-19 levels.  Furthermore, a resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic or an outbreak of a COVID-19 variant or a different virus could cause our tenants to experience lower patient volumes or be forced to close in order to curtail such outbreak, which could materially, adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and their ability to pay rents to us.  

The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused the U.S. to experience a historically high unemployment rate. Many of these unemployed workers have also lost their employer-based health insurance, which is a primary payor for our tenants. The extraordinarily high levels of U.S. unemployment and loss of health insurance may cause people to cancel or delay medical procedures even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, and it is unclear when, if ever, these workers will be able to regain employment or private health insurance. An extended period of high unemployment and loss of benefits could materially, adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and their ability to pay rents to us.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken by applicable governmental authorities, we have been encouraging all of our employees at our corporate office to work remotely until further notice. While we believe these measures are advisable and in the best interests of our employees and communities, such measures, in combination with other factors, have caused disruptions to our normal operations and may continue to do so during the pendency of such measures. Additionally, certain of our service providers have instituted or may institute similar preventative measures, which could result in reductions in the availability, capacity and/or efficiency of the services upon which we depend for our operations. Further, in the event any of our employees, and/or employees of our service providers, contract COVID-19 or are otherwise compelled to self-quarantine, we may experience shortages in labor and services that we require for our operations. Also, remote work arrangements may increase the risk of cybersecurity incidents, data breaches or cyber-attacks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, due to, among other things, the loss of proprietary data, interruptions or delays in the operation of our business and damage to our reputation.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Access to Capital

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial volatility in U.S. and international lending and capital markets. Although lending and capital markets have generally stabilized, a resurgence of COVID-19 or its variants could cause such markets to become volatile again, which could force liquidity constraints on our lenders and negatively affect our ability to access capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Acquisition Pipeline

A resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or its variants could alter the market for healthcare real estate, which, in turn, could decrease our investment pipeline and cause us not to achieve our acquisition goals.

Ultimately, the overall effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our tenants’ businesses, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, will depend upon future developments, including the severity of COVID-19 and the duration of the outbreak and potential resurgences; the duration of existing or future social distancing and shelter-in-place orders; further mitigation strategies taken by applicable government authorities; the availability of a vaccine, adequate testing and treatments and the prevalence of widespread immunity to COVID-19; the impacts on our tenants’ supply chain; the health of our and our tenants’ employees, service providers; and the reactions of U.S. and global markets and their effects on consumer confidence and spending. Such adverse effects, however, may

15

Table of Contents

include lower patient volumes or reduced revenues of our tenants, an increase in rent deferral requests, requests to extend the repayment periods for deferred rent, or a failure by our tenants to pay rent to us, which may materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operation, our ability to pay distributions on our common and preferred stock and the market prices of our common and preferred stock during 2021 and beyond, as well as our ability to satisfy the covenants in our existing and any future debt agreements, including the Credit Facility, and service our outstanding indebtedness. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Risk Factors section, any of which could have a material effect on us.

Risks Related to our Business and Healthcare Facilities

We are dependent on our tenants for substantially all our revenues. Our tenants face a wide range of business risks, including economic, competitive, government reimbursement and regulatory risks, any of which could cause our tenants to be unable to pay rent to us.

We are dependent on our tenants for substantially all our revenues. Our tenants face a wide range of business risks, including economic, competitive, government reimbursement and regulatory risks, which may adversely affect their businesses and, in turn, their ability to pay rent to us. If any of our tenants were unable to pay their rent to us and we had insufficient credit protections in place (such as rent reserves, guarantees, security deposits and letters of credit), our revenues and operating cash flows could be materially adversely affected, which in turn could affect our liquidity, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our assets are concentrated in healthcare-related facilities, making us more economically vulnerable to specific industry-related risks than if our assets were diversified across different industries.

We acquire and own healthcare-related facilities. We are subject to risks inherent in concentrating investments in real estate, and specifically healthcare real estate. Any adverse effects that result from these risks could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments outside of the healthcare industry. Any healthcare industry downturn could adversely affect the ability of our tenants to pay us rents and our ability to maintain current rental and occupancy rates. Our tenant mix could become even more concentrated if a significant portion of our tenants’ practice in a particular medical field or are reliant upon a particular healthcare delivery system. Accordingly, a downturn in the healthcare industry generally, or a particular medical field or healthcare delivery system specifically, may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating cash flows, which in turn could affect our liquidity, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

The inability of any of our significant tenants to pay rent to us could have a disproportionate negative affect on our revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, the annualized base rent from our top three tenants represented approximately 20% of our portfolio-wide annualized base rent, including our Encompass facilities, which comprised approximately 8% of our annualized base rent; our Memorial Health facilities, which comprised approximately 6% of our annualized base rent; and our Kindred Healthcare facilities, which comprised approximately 6% of our annualized base rent.

We have no control over the success or failure of our significant tenants’ businesses, and, at any time, our significant tenants may fail to make rent payments when due, which, in turn, may have a disproportionate adverse effect on our business, revenues and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our leases are generally long-term leases with annual rent escalators, however, some of our debt financing is subject to floating interest rates. An increase in interest rates may not be matched by an increase in our rent payments, which could expose us to a funding imbalance.

Our revenues are generated by our leases, which are typically long-term leases with fixed rental rates, subject to annual rent escalators. The unhedged portion of our Credit Facility debt is subject to LIBOR. The generally fixed nature of revenues and the variable rate of our debt obligations create interest rate risk for us. Increases in interest rates may not be matched by increases in our rental income, which could increase our expenses and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

16

Table of Contents

The bankruptcy of any of our tenants could bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the tenant or evict the tenant and take back control of the property.

Any bankruptcy filings by or relating to one of our tenants could bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or evict the tenant and take back control of the property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from a bankruptcy court, which we may be unable to obtain. A tenant bankruptcy could also delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. If a tenant rejects the lease while in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for pre-petition damages. Any unsecured claim that we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. It is possible that we may recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims that we hold, or nothing at all, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock and preferred stock. Furthermore, dealing with a tenant bankruptcy or other default may divert management’s attention and cause us to incur substantial legal and other costs.

Adverse economic or other conditions in our geographic markets could negatively affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent to us.

Adverse economic or other conditions in our geographic markets, including periods of economic slowdown or recession, industry slowdowns, periods of deflation, relocation of businesses, changing demographics, earthquakes and other natural disasters, fires, terrorist acts, public health crisis, pandemics and epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and civil disturbances or acts of war and other man-made disasters which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses, and changes in tax, real estate, zoning and other laws and regulations, may negatively affect our tenants’ businesses and ability to pay rents to us and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, business and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Most of our healthcare facilities are occupied by a single tenant, and we may have difficulty finding suitable replacement tenants in the event of a tenant default or non-renewal of our leases, especially for our healthcare facilities located in smaller markets.

Most of our healthcare facilities are occupied by a single tenant. Following expiration of a lease term or if we exercise our right to replace a tenant in default, rental payments on the related healthcare facilities could decline or cease altogether while we reposition such healthcare facility with a suitable replacement tenant. We also might not be successful in identifying suitable replacement tenants or entering into triple-net leases with new tenants on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, we may be required to fund certain expenses and obligations (e.g., real estate taxes, debt costs and maintenance expenses) to preserve the value of, and avoid the imposition of liens on, our healthcare facilities while they are being repositioned. Our ability to reposition our healthcare facilities with a suitable tenant could be significantly delayed or limited by state licensing, receivership, CON or other laws, as well as by the Medicare and Medicaid change-of-ownership rules. We could also incur substantial additional expenses in connection with any licensing, receivership or change-of-ownership proceedings. In addition, our ability to locate suitable replacement tenants could be impaired by the specialized healthcare uses or contractual restrictions on use of the healthcare facilities, and we may be required to spend substantial amounts to adapt the healthcare facilities to other uses. Any such delays, limitations and expenses could adversely impact our ability to collect rent, obtain possession of leased healthcare facilities or otherwise exercise remedies for tenant default, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

All of these risks may be greater in smaller markets, where there may be fewer potential replacement tenants, making it more difficult to replace tenants, especially for specialized space.

We have significant geographic concentration in a small number of states, including Texas, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma. Economic and other conditions that negatively affect those states and our tenants in those states could have a greater effect on our revenues than if our properties were more geographically diverse.

As of December 31, 2020, approximately 18%, 8%, 8%, 8%, 7% and 6% of our total annualized base rent was derived from properties located in Texas, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, respectively. As a result of this geographic concentration, we are particularly exposed to downturns in these states’ economies or other changes in local real estate market conditions. Any material changes in the current payment programs or regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in these states

Table of Contents

could have an amplified effect on our business, revenues and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock than if our properties were more geographically diverse.

We may be unable to successfully enter into definitive purchase agreements for or close the acquisition of the properties in our investment pipeline.

There is no assurance that we will successfully enter into definitive purchase agreements for the facilities in our investment pipeline. We could also determine through due diligence that the prospective facility does not meet our investment standards. We also may be unable to come to an agreement with the seller for the purchase of the facility. Additionally, there is no assurance that we will successfully close an acquisition once a purchase agreement has been signed. After a purchase agreement has been signed, we typically have a due diligence period of 45 to 60 days. If we identify problems with the property or the operator during our due diligence review, we may terminate the purchase agreement and not close. Failure to close acquisitions under contract or in our investment pipeline could restrict our growth opportunities, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property, which, in turn, would only provide us with limited recourse against the seller if issues arise after our purchase of a property.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase and sale agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk of having little or no recourse against a seller if issues were to arise at such property. This, in turn, could cause us to have to write off our investment in the property, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our healthcare buildings that are subject to ground leases could restrict our use of such healthcare facilities.

We lease the land upon which six of our buildings are located, representing approximately 4.1% of our December 2020 annualized base rent. These ground leases contain certain restrictions. These restrictions include limits on our ability to re-let the facilities, rights of purchase and rights of first offer and refusal with respect to sales of the healthcare facility and limits on the types of medical procedures that may be performed at the facilities. These restrictions could affect our returns on these facilities which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenues, business and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our healthcare facilities and our tenants may be unable to compete successfully, which could negatively affect our tenants’ businesses and ability to pay rent to us.

Our healthcare facilities often face competition from nearby hospitals and other healthcare facilities that provide comparable services, including urgent care and primary care facilities as well as home healthcare companies. These competitors may have greater geographic coverage, better access to physicians and patients and provide or are perceived to provide higher quality services. From time to time and for reasons beyond our control, managed care organizations may change their lists of preferred hospitals or in-network physicians, which may favor our tenants’ competitors. Furthermore, our tenants may lose physicians to their competitors or an increase in telehealth services could reduce the need for healthcare facilities. Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our tenants or their associated healthcare delivery systems to compete or due to a reduced need for healthcare facilities generally may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Long-term leases may result in below- market lease rates over time, which could decrease the market value of our properties.

Many of our leases are long-term leases with annual rent escalation provisions. However, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of such long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases, the rent under our long-term leases could be less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, the market value of our properties with long-term leases may be negatively affected.

We may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which may result in us having to absorb all or a portion of such loss.

Our tenants are generally required (either directly or through a reimbursement arrangement with us) to maintain comprehensive property and casualty insurance covering our properties. However, some types of losses may be uninsurable or too expensive to insure against, such as losses due to windstorms, terrorist acts, earthquakes, and toxic mold. Accordingly, we may not have enough insurance coverage against certain types of losses and may experience decreases in the insurance coverage available. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of our investment in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligation related to the property. Further, if any of our insurance carriers were to become insolvent, we would be forced to replace the existing coverage with another suitable carrier, and any outstanding claims would be at risk for collection. In such an event, we cannot be certain that we would be able to replace the coverage at similar or otherwise favorable terms.

We have obtained title insurance policies for each of our properties, typically in an amount equal to its original price. However, these policies may be for amounts less than the current or future values of our properties. In such an event, if there is a title defect relating to any of our properties, we could lose some of our investment in and anticipated profits from such property.

If we were to experience uninsured losses or if any of our insurance carriers were unable to pay insurance claims, we may lose all or a portion of our investment in a property and the revenues associated with such property, which could materially adversely affect our revenues, business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

We may incur environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with owning, leasing, developing and operating our healthcare facilities.

Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and prior owners and tenants of healthcare facilities may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such healthcare facility. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or tenant of a healthcare facility from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage that results from such releases, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or tenant knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or materials, may adversely affect the owner’s or tenant’s ability to lease, sell, develop or rent such healthcare facility or to borrow against such healthcare facility. Persons who transport or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person.

Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and tenants of real property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions. If we are held liable under these laws, our business, financial conditions, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock may be materially adversely affected.

The income from certain of our properties is dependent on the ability of our property managers to successfully manage those properties.

We depend upon the performance of our property managers to effectively manage certain of our properties. We do not control these third-party property managers and are accordingly subject to various risks generally associated with outsourcing of management of day-to-day activities, including the risk that a property manager may not be able to successfully manage a property. Additionally, because we do not control our third-party property managers, any adverse events such as issues related to insufficient internal controls, cybersecurity incidents or other adverse events may impact the income we recognize from properties managed by such third-party property managers. We may be unable to anticipate such events or properly assess the magnitude of any such events because we do not control our third-party property managers. If our property managers are unable to successfully manage our properties, our business,

financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock may be materially adversely affected.

We have now, and may have in the future, exposure to contingent rent escalators, which may hinder the growth of our rental income and therefore our profitability in the future.

We receive substantially all our revenues by leasing our healthcare facilities under leases in which the rental rate is generally fixed with annual escalations, including escalations tied to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). If, as a result of weak economic conditions or other factors, the CPI does not increase, our growth and profitability will be hindered by these leases, which could, in turn, materially adversely affect our results of business, financial conditions, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

We and our tenants face risks associated with security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber-intrusions, or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of information technology networks and related systems.

We and our tenants face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, company insiders, or persons with access to our and our tenants’ systems, and other significant disruptions of our and our tenants’ information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber-terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our and our tenants’ IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of each of our businesses and our and our tenants’ ability to perform day-to-day operations (including maintaining confidential patient data). Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of our IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Additionally, our tenants may not have enough risk mitigation measures in place or, even if they do, such measures may not be effective. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems, and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and may not be detected. Accordingly, we and our tenants may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and it is therefore impossible to entirely mitigate the risk.

A security breach or other significant disruption involving our or our tenants’ IT networks and related systems could:

Disrupt the proper functioning of our or our tenants’ networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of our tenants;
Result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive, or otherwise valuable information about us, our tenants or our tenants’ patients, which others could use to compete against us or our tenants or which could expose us or our tenants to regulatory action or damage claims by third-parties;
Result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines, and/or missed permitting deadlines;
Result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;
jeopardize the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;
Require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;
Subject us or our tenants to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties, or termination of leases or other agreements; or
Damage our and our tenants’ reputations.

Any or all the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Risks Related to our Financings

We finance most of our portfolio with secured debt from our Credit Facility. We are subject to the risks associated with secured, floating-rate debt, including the potential of an increase in our interest expense, Credit Facility capacity, covenant restrictions and the risk of foreclosure.

As of December 31, 2020, our total outstanding debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $586.6 million, of which $521.6 million was secured debt from our Credit Facility with approximately 85% of our properties pledged as security thereunder. If interest rates were to rise, or the interest rate spread on our Credit Facility increases based on our consolidated leverage ratios, our borrowing costs would increase, which could, among other things, increase our cost of capital (which would affect our ability to acquire assets) and decrease our earnings, liquidity, cash available to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Since our IPO, we have grown our healthcare portfolio significantly. In order to continue growing our portfolio and maintain appropriate leverage levels, we require access to both debt and equity capital. The Revolver component of our Credit Facility is the primary source of our acquisition funding, and we primarily rely on equity capital to reduce the balance of the Revolver to provide capacity for continued acquisitions. As of February 28, 2021, we had cash balances and available capacity under our Revolver of approximately $85 million.  If we are unable to increase our debt capacity or raise equity to reduce the balance of our Revolver, our growth prospects may be negatively affected.

The terms of our debt agreements require us to comply with several customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining certain leverage and coverage ratios and minimum tangible net worth requirements. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a description of these covenants. Our continued ability to incur additional debt, make distributions and conduct business in general is subject to our compliance with these covenants, which limit our operational flexibility. Breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness, in addition to any other indebtedness cross-defaulted against such instruments, which could accelerate the principal balance of our debt and cause our lenders to institute foreclosure proceedings against us. Therefore, any such default could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our interest rate hedges may not be successful in mitigating our interest rate risks.

We use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates on certain of our variable rate loans. As of December 31, 2020, we had six interest rate swap agreements that fixed the LIBOR component of our rates on $350 million of our outstanding Credit Facility balance. There is no assurance that our hedging instruments will adequately mitigate our interest rate risk or that our hedging strategy will not result in losses. Additionally, a hedging counterparty may fail to honor its obligations to us. If our interest rate hedges are unsuccessful in mitigating our interest rate risk, or if a hedging counterparty fails to honor its obligations to us, our borrowing costs would increase, which could, among other things, increase our cost of capital and decrease our earnings, liquidity, cash available to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

We finance our healthcare facilities with term indebtedness and we may place term indebtedness on our healthcare facilities in the future. We may not be able to refinance such debt when due or may be unable to refinance such debt on favorable terms.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $586.6 million of indebtedness outstanding (net of unamortized debt issuance costs). We may also place indebtedness on our healthcare facilities in the future. We run the risk of being unable to refinance such debt (including our revolver loan) when the loans come due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance debt, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance debt at appropriate times, which may require us to sell healthcare facilities on terms that are not advantageous to us or could result in the foreclosure of such healthcare facilities. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 may affect our financial results.

LIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Credit Facility provides that, on or about the LIBOR cessation date (subject to an early opt-in election), LIBOR shall be replaced as a benchmark rate in the Credit Facility with a new benchmark rate to be agreed upon by the Company and the administrative agent, with such adjustments to cause the new benchmark rate to be economically equivalent to LIBOR. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be enough liquidity in the SOFR markets.

On November 30, 2020, ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, with the support of the Federal Reserve and the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, announced plans to consult on ceasing publication of USD LIBOR on December 31, 2021 for only the one week and two month USD LIBOR tenors, and on June 30, 2023 for all other USD LIBOR tenors. While this announcement extends the transition period to June 2023, the Federal Reserve concurrently issued a statement advising banks to stop new USD LIBOR issuances by the end of 2021. In light of these recent announcements, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past or cease to exist.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.

If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our interest rate swap agreements is likely to vary by agreement. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.

Although regulators and IBA have made clear that the recent announcements should not be read to say that LIBOR has ceased or will cease, in the event LIBOR does cease to exist, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

We rely on external sources of capital to fund future capital needs, and, if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future acquisitions necessary to grow our business or meet maturing obligations.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute each year to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund our future capital needs from cash retained from operations, including capital needed to make investments and to satisfy or refinance maturing obligations. As a result, we expect to rely on external sources of capital, including debt and equity financing, to fund future capital needs. Our access to capital will depend upon several factors, many of which we have little or no control, including:

The extent of investor interest;
Our ability to satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to REITs;
The general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
Our financial performance and that of our tenants;

22

Table of Contents

Analyst reports about us and the REIT industry;
General stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest rates on fixed income securities, which may lead prospective purchasers of our stock to demand a higher annual yield from future distributions;
A failure to maintain or increase our dividend which is dependent, in large part, upon our funds from operations, or FFO, which, in turn, depends upon increased revenue from additional acquisitions and rental increases; and
Other factors such as governmental regulatory action and changes in REIT tax laws.

If we are unable to obtain needed capital on satisfactory terms or at all, we may not be able to make the investments needed to expand our business or to meet our obligations and commitments as they mature, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business prospects, liquidity, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry

Adverse trends in the healthcare industry may negatively affect our tenants’ businesses.

The healthcare industry is currently experiencing, among other things:

Changes in the demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services;
Competition among healthcare providers;
Consolidation of large health insurers;
Regulatory and government reimbursement uncertainty resulting from the Affordable Care Act and other healthcare reform laws;
Federal court decisions on cases challenging the legality of the Affordable Care Act;
Federal and state government plans to reduce budget deficits and address debt ceiling limits by lowering healthcare provider Medicare and Medicaid payment rates;
Changes in third-party reimbursement methods and policies; and
Increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by U.S. federal and state authorities.

These factors may adversely affect the economic performance of some or all of our tenants and, in turn, our lease revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, billing for services, privacy and security of health information and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. See “Business–Government Laws and Regulations” for a description of the laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.

Table of Contents

Violations of healthcare laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, the Affordable Care Act clarifies that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The U.S. federal government has taken the position, and some courts have held that violations of other laws, such as the Stark Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenants’ ability to operate or to make rent payments or affect the level of occupancy in our healthcare facilities, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us or renew their leases.

Sources of revenue for our tenants typically include the U.S. federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs and private insurance payors. Healthcare providers continue to face increased government and private payor pressure to control or reduce healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, estimates the reductions required by the Affordable Care Act over the next ten years following enactment of the act will include $415 billion in cuts to Medicare fee-for-service payments, the majority of which will come from hospitals, and that some hospitals will become insolvent as a result of the reductions. In some cases, private insurers rely on all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine payment rates, which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers. The Affordable Care Act also imposes new requirements for the health insurance industry, including prohibitions upon excluding individuals based upon pre-existing conditions, which may increase private insurer costs and, thereby, cause private insurers to reduce their payment rates to providers. Any reductions in payments or reimbursements from third-party payors could adversely affect the reimbursement rates received by our tenants, the financial success of our tenants and strategic partners and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

The recent downturn in the United States economy could negatively affect state budgets, thereby putting pressure on states to decrease spending on state programs including Medicaid. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid eligibility requirements. Many states have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, legislation designed to enroll Medicaid recipients in managed care programs and/or impose additional taxes on hospitals to help finance or expand the states’ Medicaid systems. Potential reductions to Medicaid program spending in response to state budgetary pressures could negatively impact the ability of our tenants to successfully operate their businesses, and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our tenants may be subject to significant legal actions that could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may affect their ability to pay their rent payments to us, and we could also be subject to healthcare industry violations.

As is typical in the healthcare industry, our tenants may often become subject to claims that their services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants may have experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained by these tenants may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available to these tenants due to state law prohibitions or limitations of availability. As a result, these types of tenants of our healthcare facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits.

We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or governmental

24

Table of Contents

investigation, any settlements of such proceedings or investigations in excess of insurance coverage, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on a tenant’s financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, if judgments are obtained or settlements reached in excess of the insurance coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to an uninsurable government enforcement action or investigation, the tenant could be exposed to substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenant’s ability to pay rent, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry

Changes in the general real estate market conditions may adversely affect us.

Real estate investments are subject to various risks and fluctuations and cycles in value and demand, many of which are beyond our control. Certain market conditions that may affect our business are as follows:

National or regional economic upturns could increase the value of real estate generally, which could make it more difficult for us to acquire new healthcare properties at attractive prices or prevent us from purchasing additional facilities at all;
National or regional economic downturns could adversely affect our tenants’ businesses, or the businesses located in our tenants’ geographic region, which could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent and the value of our healthcare properties;
A decrease in interest rates and financing costs could increase demand for real estate and, thus, the price of real estate. An increase in demand for real estate could make it more difficult for us to acquire additional healthcare facilities at attractive prices or prevent us from purchasing additional facilities at all; and
An increase in interest rates and financing costs could decrease the demand for real estate and, thus, the price of real estate. A decrease in demand for real estate could make it more difficult for us to dispose of our healthcare facilities at attractive prices or prevent us from disposing of our facilities at all.

If we experience one or more of the risks described above, our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock could be adversely affected.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our healthcare facilities.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more of our healthcare facilities in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any of our healthcare facilities for the price or on the terms set by us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of any of our healthcare facilities. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a healthcare facility can be sold. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements.

In acquiring a healthcare facility, we have in the past and may in the future agree to transfer restrictions that materially restrict us from selling that healthcare facility for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that healthcare facility. These transfer restrictions would impede our ability to sell a healthcare facility even if we deem it necessary or appropriate. These facts and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our healthcare facilities may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

25

Table of Contents

Uncertain market conditions could cause us to sell our healthcare facilities at a loss in the future.

We intend to hold our various real estate investments until we determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives. Our senior management team and the Board may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a healthcare facility, and we have no obligation to sell our facilities. We generally intend to hold our healthcare facilities for an extended period, and we cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our healthcare facilities, we may not be able to sell our buildings at a profit in the future or at all. We may incur prepayment penalties if we sell a healthcare facility subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned. Additionally, we could be forced to sell healthcare facilities at inopportune times which could result in us selling the affected building at a substantial loss. Accordingly, the extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will, among other things, be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions. Any inability to sell a healthcare facility could materially, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our assets may become subject to impairment charges.

We periodically evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based upon factors such as market conditions, lease re-negotiations, tenant performance and legal structure. For example, the termination of a lease by a major tenant may lead to an impairment charge. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, we would be required to make an adjustment to the net carrying value of the asset which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Several additional U.S. federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to our healthcare facilities, or restrict certain further renovations of the buildings, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines, an award of damages to private litigants and/or an order to correct any non-complying feature which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Our leases typically provide that our tenants shall maintain our healthcare facilities in compliance with such laws, however, we have not conducted a detailed audit or investigation of all of our healthcare facilities to determine such compliance, and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If one or more of our healthcare facilities is not in compliance with the ADA or other related legislation, then our tenants would be required to incur additional costs to bring the facility into compliance. These costs, if substantial, could have an adverse economic effect on our tenants, which could, in turn, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock and preferred stock.

Risks Related to Our Structure

We have no direct operations and rely on funds received from our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to meet our obligations.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 93.56% of the outstanding OP Units. Apart from this ownership interest in our Operating Partnership, we do not have any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to pay any dividends that we might declare on our common and preferred stock. We also rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to meet our obligations, including tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from our Operating Partnership (which might make distributions to us not equal to the tax on such allocated taxable income). Stockholders’ claims will consequently be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, claims of our stockholders will be satisfied only after all our and our Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full. If we do not receive enough funds from our Operating Partnership, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock may be materially, adversely affected.

Subject to certain requirements under Maryland law and REIT requirements, the Board has sole discretion to determine if we will pay distributions and the amount and frequency of such distributions, and past distribution amounts may not be indicative of future distribution amounts.

Any future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, the cash flow generated by our operations, FFO, AFFO, liquidity, our operating expenses, our debt service requirements, capital expenditure requirements for the properties in our portfolio, prohibitions and other limitations under our financing arrangements, our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, restrictions on making distributions under Maryland law and such other factors as the Board deems relevant. During 2020, we declared distributions aggregating $0.80 per share of common stock. The tax treatment of 2020 dividends included a $0.39 return of capital per share. We cannot assure you that our distribution policy will not change in the future or that the Board will continue to declare dividends at the same rate as in 2020, especially if we are unable to reduce the amount of our distributions that are treated as returns of capital.

Our use of OP Units as currency to acquire healthcare facilities could result in stockholder dilution and/or limit our ability to sell such healthcare facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We have acquired, and in the future may acquire, healthcare facilities or portfolios of healthcare facilities through tax-deferred contribution transactions in exchange for OP Units, which may result in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired healthcare facilities, and has required, and may in the future require, that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired healthcare facilities or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions could limit our ability to sell healthcare facilities at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions which, in turn, could materially, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our Operating Partnership may issue additional OP Units to third parties without the consent of our stockholders, which would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and could have a dilutive effect on the amount of distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our stockholders.

Holders of shares of our common stock will generally not have any voting rights with respect to activities of our Operating Partnership, including issuances of additional OP Units in amounts that do not exceed 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 93.56% of the outstanding OP Units. Our Operating Partnership may, in connection with our acquisition of healthcare facilities or otherwise, issue additional OP Units to third parties. Such issuances would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and could affect the amount of distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our stockholders.

We may be unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to provide a report by management on internal controls over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such controls. Because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud, effective internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls as a result of changes to our business or otherwise, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business, results of operations and financial condition, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock could be materially adversely impacted and we could fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Conflicts of interest could arise as a result of our UPREIT structure.

Conflicts of interest could arise as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our Operating Partnership or any partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to us under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, we, as the sole member of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have fiduciary duties to our Operating Partnership and to the limited partners under Delaware law in connection with the management

27

Table of Contents

of our Operating Partnership. Our duties, as the sole member of the general partner, to our Operating Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to us.

Unless otherwise provided for in the relevant partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of good faith, fairness and loyalty and which generally prohibits such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest.

Additionally, the partnership agreement expressly limits our liability by providing that we, as the sole member of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, and our directors or officers, will not be liable or accountable in damages to our Operating Partnership, the limited partners or assignees for errors in judgment, mistakes of fact or law or for any act or omission if the general partner or such director or officer acted in good faith. In addition, our Operating Partnership is required to indemnify us, our affiliates and each of our respective officers and directors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (whether joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of our Operating Partnership, provided that our Operating Partnership will not indemnify any such person for (1) acts or omissions committed in bad faith or that were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) any transaction for which such person received an improper personal benefit in money, healthcare facility or services, or (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe the act or omission was unlawful.

Our charter restricts the ownership and transfer of our outstanding shares of stock which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or change of control of our company.

In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year other than our initial REIT taxable year. Subject to certain exceptions, our charter prohibits any stockholder from owning actually or constructively more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of any class or series of our outstanding shares. The constructive ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) are complex and may cause the outstanding shares owned by a group of related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of our outstanding shares of any class or series by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity to own constructively in excess of 9.8% of any class or series of our outstanding beneficial interests and to be subject to our charter’s ownership limit. Our charter also prohibits any person from owning shares of our beneficial interests that would result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of our beneficial interest in violation of these restrictions may result in the shares being automatically transferred to a charitable trust or may be void.

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes of control, which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for shares of our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.

Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our common stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:

“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares of common stock or an affiliate thereof or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our shares of common stock at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question) for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes certain fair price and/or supermajority and stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
“control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our company (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing

28

Table of Contents

ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights with respect to their control shares, except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.

By resolution of the Board, we have opted out of the business combination provisions of the MGCL and provide that any business combination between us and any other person is exempt from the business combination provisions of the MGCL, provided that the business combination is first approved by the Board (including a majority of directors who are not affiliates or associates of such persons). In addition, pursuant to a provision in our bylaws, we have opted out of the control share provisions of the MGCL. However, the Board may by resolution elect to opt into the business combination provisions of the MGCL and we may, by amendment to our bylaws, opt into the control share provisions of the MGCL in the future.

Certain provisions of the MGCL permit the Board, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which (for example, a classified board) are not currently applicable to us. If implemented, these provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from making an unsolicited acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us under circumstances that otherwise could provide our common stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price. Our charter contains a provision whereby we have elected to be subject to the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL relating to the filling of vacancies on the Board.

We could increase the number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock, classify and reclassify unissued shares and issue shares without stockholder approval.

The Board, without stockholder approval, has the power under our charter to amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we are authorized to issue, to authorize us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock. In addition, under our charter, the Board has the power to classify or reclassify any unissued common or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of shares and set the preference, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption for such newly classified or reclassified shares. As a result, we may issue series or classes of common or preferred stock with preferences, dividends, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, that are senior to, or otherwise conflict with, the rights of holders of our common or preferred stock. Although the Board has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a class or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for shares of our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.

We may change our business, investment and financing strategies without stockholder approval.

We may change our business, investment and financing strategies without a vote of, or notice to, our stockholders, which could result in our making investments and engaging in business activities that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments and businesses described in this annual report. In particular, a change in our investment strategy, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to real estate market fluctuations. In addition, we may in the future increase the use of leverage at times and in amounts that we, in our discretion, deem prudent, and such decision would not be subject to stockholder approval. Furthermore, the Board may determine that healthcare facilities do not offer the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns for an investment strategy. Changes to our strategies with regards to the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited, which could limit your recourse in the event that we take certain actions which are not in your best interests.

Under Maryland law, generally, directors and officers are required to perform their duties in good faith, in a manner that they reasonably believe to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Under Maryland law, directors and officers are presumed to have acted with this standard of care. Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation

29

Table of Contents

and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Our charter authorizes us to indemnify our present and former directors and officers for actions taken by them in those and other capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Our bylaws obligate us to indemnify each present and former director or officer, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his or her service to us. In addition, we may be obligated to advance the defense costs incurred by our directors and officers. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers granting them express indemnification rights. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist absent the current provisions in our charter, bylaws and indemnification agreements or that might exist with other companies.

Our charter contains provisions that make removal of our directors difficult, which could make it difficult for our stockholders to effect changes to our management and may prevent a change in control of our company that is in the best interests of our stockholders. Our charter provides that a director may only be removed for cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. Vacancies may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if less than a quorum. These requirements make it more difficult to change our management by removing and replacing directors and may prevent a change in control of our company that is in the best interests of our stockholders.

Certain provisions in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay or prevent unsolicited acquisitions of us.

Provisions in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay, or make more difficult, unsolicited acquisitions of us or changes of our control. These provisions could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition of us or change of our control, although some stockholders might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others:

Redemption rights;
A requirement that we may not be removed as the general partner of our Operating Partnership without our consent;
Transfer restrictions on OP Units;
Our ability, as the sole member of the general partner of our Operating Partnership, in some cases, to amend the partnership agreement and to cause the Operating Partnership to issue units with terms that could delay, defer or prevent a merger or other change of control of us or our Operating Partnership without the consent of the limited partners; and
The right of the limited partners to consent to direct or indirect transfers of the general partnership interest, including as a result of a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, in the event that such transfer requires approval by our common stockholders.

Our charter and bylaws, Maryland law and the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership also contain other provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our shares of common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest.

We may be unable to obtain or retain key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our executive officers and other key personnel. In particular, we rely on the services of Jeffrey Busch, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board; Robert Kiernan, our Chief Financial Officer; Alfonzo Leon, our Chief Investment Officer; Danica Holley, our Chief Operating Officer; and Jamie Barber, our Secretary and General Counsel, to manage our operations. We cannot guarantee that all, or any one of these key personnel, will remain affiliated with us. We do not separately maintain key person life insurance on any person. Our failure to retain key employees and retain highly skilled managerial,

operational and marketing personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Risks Related to Our Qualification and Operation as a REIT

Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for distributions to our stockholders.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for distributions to our stockholders because:

We would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates;
We could be subject to increased state and local taxes; and
Unless we are entitled to relief under certain U.S. federal income tax laws, we could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT.

In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and it would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that could reduce our cash flows and negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Even if we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, taxes on income from some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) will be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal, state and local taxes. In addition, our TRS borrows funds either from us or a third party, it may be unable to deduct all or a portion of the interest paid, resulting in a higher corporate-level tax liability. Specifically, the TCJA imposes a disallowance of deductions for business interest expense (even if paid to third parties) in excess of the sum of a taxpayer’s business interest income and 30% (50% for non-partnership entities for their 2019 and 2020 taxable years under the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of the business, which is its taxable income computed without regard to business interest income or expense, net operating losses or the pass-through income deduction (and for taxable years before 2022, excludes depreciation and amortization). The TRS rules also impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to stockholders, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Failure to make required distributions would subject us to U.S. federal corporate income tax.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each year to our stockholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Code. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to stockholders which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.

We have engaged, and expect to engage in the future, in transactions in which we purchase healthcare facilities and lease them back to the sellers of such healthcare facilities. Although we have structured, and intend to continue to structure, any such sale-leaseback transaction so that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the healthcare facility for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge such characterization. If any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, all of the payments that we receive from the tenant may not be treated as qualifying income for the 75% or 95% gross income tests required for REIT qualification and we may fail to qualify as a REIT as a result. If any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would not be treated as the owner of the applicable healthcare facility and our deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such healthcare facility would be disallowed. As a result, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which might cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement required for REIT qualification. Although we may be able to cure such failure by making a distribution in a subsequent taxable year and paying an interest charge, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to make the required distribution or pay the required interest charge. If we lose our REIT status, our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock could be materially adversely affected.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our shares of stock. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.

In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities, securities of TRSs and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities, securities of TRSs and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets can be represented by the securities of one or more TRSs, and no more than 25% of our assets can be represented by debt of “publicly offered REITs” (i.e., REITs that are required to file annual and periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act) that is not secured by real property or interests in real property. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Certain taxes may limit our ability to dispose of our healthcare facilities.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. We may be subject to the prohibited transaction tax equal to 100% of net gain upon a disposition of real property. Although a safe harbor to the characterization of the sale of real property by a REIT as a prohibited transaction is available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Consequently, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of our healthcare facilities or may conduct such sales through a TRS, which would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation.

We may pay taxable dividends in our common stock and cash, in which case stockholders may sell shares of our common stock to pay tax on such dividends, placing downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

We may satisfy the 90% distribution test with taxable distributions of our common stock. The IRS has issued Revenue Procedure 2017-45 authorizing elective cash/stock dividends to be made by publicly offered REITs. Pursuant to Revenue Procedure

32

Table of Contents

2017-45, effective for distributions declared on or after August 11, 2017, the IRS will treat the distribution of stock pursuant to an elective cash/stock dividend as a distribution of property under Section 301 of the Code (i.e., a dividend), as long as at least 20% of the total dividend is available in cash and certain other parameters detailed in the Revenue Procedure are satisfied.

Although we have no current intention of paying dividends in our common stock, if we make a taxable dividend payable in cash and common stock, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend as income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, stockholders may be required to pay income tax with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash dividends received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the common stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to certain non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in common stock. If we make a taxable dividend payable in cash and our common stock and a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

The ability of the Board to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our stockholders.

Our charter provides that the Board may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which could materially adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Our ownership of our TRS is subject to limitations and our transactions with our TRS will cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on arm’s-length terms.

Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs. Several provisions of the Code regarding the arrangements between a REIT and its TRSs ensure that a TRS will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income taxation. For example, the Code imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. In addition, any income earned by a TRS that is attributable to services provided to its parent REIT, or on the REIT’s behalf to any of its tenants, that is less than the amounts that would have been charged based upon arm’s-length negotiations, will also be subject to a 100% excise tax. We will monitor the value of our investment in our TRS and any other TRS we may form for the purpose of ensuring compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with any such TRS on terms that we believe are arm’s length to avoid incurring the 100% excise taxes described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the 20% limitation or to avoid application of the 100% excise taxes. If we are subject to either 100% excise tax, our business, financial condition, results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock could be materially adversely affected.

The formation of a TRS lessee would increase our overall tax liability.

We may, in the future, form one or more TRS lessees to lease “qualified health care properties” from us. Any TRS lessee we may form will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income, which will consist of the revenues from the qualified healthcare facilities leased by the TRS lessee, net of the operating expenses for such healthcare facilities and rent payments to us. In addition, if a TRS borrows funds either from us or a third party, it may be unable to deduct all or a portion of the interest paid, resulting in a higher corporate-level tax liability. Specifically, the TCJA imposes a disallowance of deductions for business interest expense (even if paid to third parties) in excess of the sum of a taxpayer’s business interest income and 30% (50% for non-partnership entities for their 2019 and 2020 taxable years under the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of the business, which is its taxable income computed without regard to business interest income or expense, net operating losses or the pass-through income deduction (and for taxable years before 2022, excludes depreciation and amortization). Accordingly, although our ownership of a TRS lessee would allow us to participate in the operating income from our healthcare facilities leased to the TRS lessee on an after-tax basis in addition to receiving rent, that operating income would be fully subject to U.S. federal and state income tax, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

If leases of our healthcare facilities are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT and would be subject to higher taxes and have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified percentages of our gross income must be derived from certain sources, such as “rents from real property.” Rents paid to our Operating Partnership by third-party lessees and any TRS lessee that we may form in the future pursuant to the leases of our healthcare facilities will constitute substantially all of our gross income. In order for such rent to qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. If our leases are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

If a TRS lessee failed to qualify as a TRS or the facility operators engaged by a TRS lessee did not qualify as “eligible independent contractors,” we would fail to qualify as a REIT and would be subject to higher taxes and have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Rent paid by a lessee that is a “related party tenant” of ours will not be qualifying income for purposes of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs. We may, in the future, lease certain of our healthcare facilities that qualify as “qualified health care properties” to a TRS lessee. So long as that TRS lessee qualifies as a TRS, it will not be treated as a “related party tenant” with respect to our healthcare facilities that are managed by an independent facility operator that qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor.” We would seek to structure any future arrangements with a TRS lessee such that the TRS lessee would qualify to be treated as a TRS for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not challenge the status of a TRS for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in disqualifying a TRS lessee from treatment as a TRS, it is possible that we would fail to meet the asset tests applicable to REITs and a significant portion of our income would fail to qualify for the gross income tests. If we failed to meet either the asset or gross income tests, we would likely lose our REIT qualification for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Additionally, if the facility operators engaged by a TRS lessee do not qualify as “eligible independent contractors,” we would fail to qualify as a REIT. Each of the facility operators that would enter into a management contract with any TRS lessee must qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” under the REIT rules in order for the rent paid to us by such a TRS lessee to be qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. Among other requirements, in order to qualify as an eligible independent contractor a facility operator must not own, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of our outstanding shares and no person or group of persons can own more than 35% of our outstanding shares and the ownership interests of the facility operator, taking into account certain ownership attribution rules. The ownership attribution rules that apply for purposes of these 35% thresholds are complex. Although we would monitor ownership of our shares of common stock by any facility operators and their owners, there can be no assurance that these ownership levels will not be exceeded.

You may be restricted from acquiring or transferring certain amounts of our common stock.

The stock ownership restrictions of the Code for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in our capital stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.

In order to qualify as a REIT for each taxable year, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code, may not own, beneficially or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock at any time during the last half of a taxable year. Attribution rules in the Code determine if any individual or entity beneficially or constructively owns our shares of capital stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our shares of capital stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year. To help ensure that we meet these tests, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of shares of our capital stock.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by the Board, our charter prohibits any person from beneficially or constructively owning more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of our shares

34

Table of Contents

of capital stock. The Board may not grant an exemption from this restriction to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of 9.8% of the value of our outstanding shares would result in our failing to qualify as a REIT.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” payable to U.S. stockholders that are taxed at individual rates is 20% (plus the 3.8% surtax on net investment income, if applicable). Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates on qualified dividend income. Rather, under the TCJA, ordinary REIT dividends constitute “qualified business income” and thus a 20% deduction is available to individual taxpayers with respect to such dividends, resulting in a 29.6% maximum U.S. federal income tax rate (plus the 3.8% surtax on net investment income, if applicable) for individual U.S. stockholders. To qualify for this deduction, the stockholder receiving such dividends must hold the dividend-paying REIT stock for at least 46 days (taking into account certain special holding period rules) of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the stock became ex-dividend and cannot be under an obligation to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially similar or related property. Without further legislative action, the 20% deduction applicable to ordinary REIT dividends will expire on January 1, 2026. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are taxed at individual rates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our common and preferred stock.

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes.

At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation, or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in the U.S. federal income tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operation, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

If our Operating Partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.

We believe that our Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our Operating Partnership’s income. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of our Operating Partnership or any other subsidiary partnership in which we own an interest as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our Operating Partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership as an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our Operating Partnership or any subsidiary partnerships to qualify as a partnership could cause it to become subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common and preferred stock.

Tax protection agreements may limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties and may require our Operating Partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate our business.

In connection with contributions of properties to our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership has entered and may in the future enter into tax protection agreements under which it agrees to minimize the tax consequences to the contributing partners resulting from the sale or other disposition of the contributed properties. Tax protection agreements may make it economically prohibitive to sell any properties that are subject to such agreements even though it may otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interests to do so. In addition, we may be required to maintain a minimum level of indebtedness throughout the term of any tax protection agreement regardless of whether such debt levels are otherwise required to operate our business. Nevertheless, we have entered and may

in the future enter into tax protection agreements to assist contributors of properties to our Operating Partnership in deferring the recognition of taxable gain as a result of and after any such contribution.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GMRE.”

The Company declared and paid a dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock for each quarter within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The declaration and payment of quarterly dividends remains subject to the review and approval of the Board, see “Risk Factors — Subject to certain requirements under Maryland law and REIT requirements, the Board has sole discretion to determine if we will pay distributions and the amount and frequency of such distributions, and past distribution amounts may not be indicative of future distribution amounts.

The comparison assumes $100 was invested on July 1, 2016 in our common stock and in each of the foregoing indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends, as applicable. The MSCI U.S. REIT Index consists of equity REITs that are included in the MSCI US Investable Market 2500 Index, except for specialty equity REITS that do not generate a majority of their revenue and income from real estate rental and leasing operations. The SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index consists of all publicly traded (NYSE, NYSE MKT, NASDAQ, OTC) Healthcare REITs in SNL’s coverage universe. We have included the MSCI U.S. REIT Index and the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index because we believe that they are representative of the industry in which we compete and are relevant to an assessment of our performance.

As of March 1, 2021, there were 32 record holders, and 52,169,166 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held by banks, brokers and other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 49,460,566 and 43,805,739 outstanding shares of common stock, respectively.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On December 23, 2020, the Company issued 194,268 shares of its common stock to Luis Rene Roberto Moscoso (“Moscoso”) in connection with Moscoso’s redemption of 194,268 OP Units issued to him by the Operating Partnership on December 31, 2018 in connection with the contribution of certain assets to the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, OP Units may be redeemed by the holder after a one-year holding period for either cash or shares of common stock of the Company, such form of redemption consideration to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company. The issuance of these shares of common stock was effected in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the fact that the issuance was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, manner of the issuance and number of securities issued.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes to those financial statements, included elsewhere in this Report. Some of the statements we make in this section are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Report entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain risk factors may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a discussion of such risk factors, see the section in this Report entitled “Risk Factors.”

Overview

The Company owns purpose-built healthcare facilities and leases those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share.  Prior to July 9, 2020, the Company was externally managed by Inter-American Management LLC (the “Former Advisor”).  On July 9, 2020, the Company purchased the parent company of its Former Advisor and became an internally-managed company.  See “Business—Organization” for a description of the Company’s management internalization transaction.  

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We conduct our business through an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure in which our properties are owned by wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2020, we owned 93.56% of the outstanding common operating partnership units (“OP Units”) of our Operating Partnership.

Our Business Objectives and Investment Strategy

Our principal business objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders through a combination of (i) reliable dividends and (ii) long-term capital appreciation. Our primary strategies to achieve our business objective are to:

construct a portfolio of healthcare facilities that are primarily located in secondary markets and suburbs of primary markets and are situated to take advantage of the aging of the U.S. population and the decentralization of the healthcare delivery system;
lease our properties to healthcare tenants with profitable practices that are utilized by an aging population and are highly dependent on their purpose-built real estate to deliver core medical procedures, such as cardiovascular treatment, rehabilitation, eye surgery, gastroenterology, oncology treatment and orthopedics;
set aside a portion of our property portfolio for opportunistic acquisitions, including (i) certain acute-care hospitals and long-term acute care facilities (LTACs), that we believe provide premium, risk-adjusted returns, (ii) health system corporate office and administrative buildings, which we believe will help us develop relationships with larger health systems and (iii) behavioral and mental health facilities that are operated by national or regional operators and are located in markets that demonstrate a need for such services; and
lease our facilities under triple-net leases with contractual annual rent escalations.

2020 Executive Summary

Our Properties

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed 18 acquisitions encompassing an aggregate of 915,241 leasable square feet for an aggregate contractual purchase price of $226.5 million with annualized base rent of $17.7 million. We funded our 2020 acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under our Credit Facility, assumed debt and at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuances. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio consisted of gross investment in real estate of $1.1 billion, which was comprised of 86 facilities with an aggregate of 3.7 million leasable square feet and $87.6 million of annualized base rent.

Capital Raising Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated gross proceeds of $54.5 million through ATM equity issuances of 4.2 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average offering price of $12.84 per share.

Debt and Hedging Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we borrowed $238.4 million under the Credit Facility and repaid $64.5 million, for a net amount borrowed of $173.9 million. As of December 31, 2020, the net outstanding Credit Facility balance was $521.6 million.

On July 24, 2020, the Company received aggregate commitments of up to $100 million from certain of its lenders pursuant to the accordion feature (the “Accordion”) under its Credit Facility. With the closing of the Accordion, the borrowing capacity under the

41

Table of Contents

Company’s Credit Facility was increased to $600 million, consisting of a $250 million capacity revolver (the “Revolver”), a $350 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), and a remaining $50 million accordion. The remaining terms of the Credit Facility were unchanged.

On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with a notional amount of $50 million (the term component of the Accordion), a fixed interest rate of 0.16% and a maturity date of August 8, 2023. As of December 31, 2020, we had  six interest rate swaps with four counterparties to hedge the LIBOR component of our interest rate risk related to the Term Loan. Together, these swaps fix the LIBOR component of the entire Term Loan on a weighted average basis at 1.91%. An aggregate of $200 million of the swaps mature in August 2024 and an additional $150 million matures in August 2023.

In connection with the acquisition of the Dumfries Facility in April 2020, we assumed a CMBS loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $12.1 million, an interest rate of 4.68% and a remaining term of four years. In connection with the acquisition of the Rosedale Facilities in July 2020, we entered into a loan with FVCbank in the amount of $14.8 million with an annual interest rate of 3.85% and a term of five years.

Recent Developments

2021 Completed Acquisitions and Capital Raising

Since December 31, 2020, we have completed three acquisitions encompassing an aggregate of 86,035 leasable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $25.4 million with annualized base rent of $2.0 million.

Since December 31, 2020, we generated gross proceeds of $35.4 million through ATM equity issuances of 2.7 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average offering price of $13.07 per share.

Lease Renewal Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we extended leases totaling 7.1% of our annualized base rent, including two leases with Encompass Health originally expiring in 2021 and the lease with Kindred Healthcare at Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for a weighted average additional term of 9.2 years.

Properties Under Contract

As of March 3, 2021, we had six properties under contract for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75.7 million. We are currently in the due diligence period for our properties under contract. If we identify problems with any of these properties or the operator of any property during our due diligence review, we may not close the transactions on a timely basis or we may terminate the purchase agreements and not close the transaction.

Trends Which May Influence Our Results of Operations

We believe the following trends may positively impact our results of operations:

Growing healthcare expenditures. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, overall healthcare expenditures are expected to grow at an average rate of 5.5% per year through 2027. We believe the long-term growth in healthcare expenditures will help maintain or increase the value of our healthcare real estate portfolio.

An aging population. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the segment of the population consisting of people 65 years or older comprise the fastest growing segment of the overall U.S. population. We believe this segment of the U.S. population will utilize many of the services provided at our healthcare facilities such as orthopedics, cardiac, gastroenterology and rehabilitation.

A continuing shift towards outpatient care. According to the American Hospital Association, patients are demanding more outpatient operations. We believe this shift in patient preference from inpatient to outpatient facilities will benefit our tenants as most of our properties consist of outpatient facilities.

42

Table of Contents

Physician practice group and hospital consolidation. We believe the trend towards physician group consolidation will serve to strengthen the credit quality of our tenants if our tenants merge or are consolidated with larger health systems.

We believe the following trends may negatively impact our results of operations:

Continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic – Although COVID-19 vaccines are currently being distributed and administered in the U.S., it is unclear when or if the COVID-19 pandemic will subside and the U.S. economy will recover.  Although many of our tenants are continuing to operate during the pandemic, it is unclear when/if our tenants will return to pre-COVID-19 patient volumes.  Although we do not believe the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our ability to collect rents in the near term, a prolonged pandemic or resurgence could put additional strain on our tenants and could affect their ability to pay rents to us.  
Changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of healthcare services was increasing, and we believed that third-party payors, such as Medicare and commercial insurance companies, would continue to scrutinize and reduce the types of healthcare services eligible for, and the amounts of, reimbursement under their health insurance plans. Additionally, many employer-based insurance plans were continuing to increase the percentage of insurance premiums for which covered individuals are responsible. We expect these trends will only be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as federal and state budgets are likely to be under tremendous stress due to the pandemic and private insurers are likely to incur substantial losses due to COVID-19-related claims and the downturn in the financial and credit markets. If these trends continue, our tenants’ businesses will continue to be negatively affected, which may impact their ability to pay rent to us.
Our ability to grow our business depends on access to debt and equity capital. Since our IPO, we have grown our healthcare portfolio significantly. In order to continue growing our portfolio and maintain appropriate leverage levels, we require access to both debt and equity capital.  The Revolver component of our Credit Facility is the primary source of our acquisition funding, and we primarily rely on equity capital to reduce the balance of the Revolver to provide capacity for continued acquisitions. As of February 28, 2021, we had cash balances and availability under our Revolver of approximately $85 million.  If we are unable to increase our debt capacity or raise equity to reduce the balance of our Revolver, our growth prospects may be negatively affected.  

Critical Accounting Policy

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time-to-time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that it may require complex judgment in its application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Investment in Real Estate

We determine when an acquisition meets the definition of a business or alternatively should be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC Topic 805”), which requires that, when substantially all of the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or group of similar identifiable assets does not meet the definition of a business and therefore is required to be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Transaction costs continue to be capitalized for asset acquisitions and expensed as incurred for business combinations. ASC Topic 805 resulted in all of our post-January 1, 2018 acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets we acquire are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar

43

Table of Contents

identifiable assets. For asset acquisitions that are “owner occupied” (meaning that the seller either is the tenant or controls the tenant), the purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, will be allocated to land and building based on their relative fair values with no value allocated to intangible assets or liabilities. For asset acquisitions where there is a lease in place but not “owner occupied,” we will allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and any intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs, such as rent comparables, sales comparables, and broker indications. Although Level 3 Inputs are utilized, they are minor in comparison to the Level 2 data used for the primary assumptions. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimates. We make estimates to determine the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information obtained from multiple sources, including pre-acquisition due diligence, and we routinely utilize the assistance of a third-party appraiser.

Valuation of tangible assets:

The fair value of land is determined using the sales comparison approach whereby recent comparable land sales and listings are gathered and summarized. The available market data is analyzed and compared to the land being valued and adjustments are made for dissimilar characteristics such as market conditions, size, and location. We estimate the fair value of buildings acquired on an as-if-vacant basis and depreciate the building value over its estimated remaining life. Fair value is primarily based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. We determine the fair value of site improvements (non-building improvements that include paving and other) using the cost approach, with a deduction for depreciation, and depreciate the site improvements over their estimated remaining useful lives. Tenant improvements represent fixed improvements to tenant spaces, the fair value of which is estimated using prevailing market tenant improvement allowances. Tenant improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the lease.

Valuation of intangible assets:

In determining the fair value of in-place leases (the avoided cost associated with existing in-place leases) management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. In estimating carrying costs, management includes reimbursable (based on market lease terms) real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, as well as estimates of lost market rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods. The values assigned to in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the lease.

The fair value of above-or-below market leases is estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. An above market lease is classified as an intangible asset and a below market lease is classified as an intangible liability. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a reduction of or an addition to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases.

Intangible assets related to leasing costs consist of leasing commissions and legal fees. Leasing commissions are estimated by multiplying the remaining contract rent associated with each lease by a market leasing commission. Legal fees represent legal costs associated with writing, reviewing, and sometimes negotiating various lease terms. Leasing costs are amortized over the remaining useful life of the respective leases.

Fair Value Estimate Related to the Internalization

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the portion of the consideration paid for the Internalization that was attributed to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship (the Management Agreement) was $12.1 million. This amount was based on the estimated fair value of the Management Agreement that involved the use of significant judgment and estimates. The fair value was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”), a form of the income approach. The MPEEM is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to that asset. To quantify the cash flows attributable solely to the subject intangible asset, contributory asset charges are typically applied to account for the use of and/or required return on these assets. In applying the MPEEM, the earnings expected to be generated by the Management Agreement were forecasted over the estimated duration of the intangible asset. The earnings were then adjusted by taxes and the required return for the use of the contributory assets. The after-tax excess cash flows were then present valued, using discount

rates and available market information, to estimate the fair value of the Management Agreement as of July 9, 2020. We utilized the assistance of a third-party specialist in the determination of the fair value of the Management Agreement.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our real estate assets on an asset group basis for impairment. We identify an asset group based on the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In the impairment analysis we must determine whether there are indicators of impairment. For operating properties, these indicators could include a reduction in our estimated hold period, a significant decline in a property’s leasing percentage, a current period operating loss or negative cash flows combined with a history of losses at the property, a significant decline in lease rates for that property or others in the property’s market, a significant change in the market value of the property, or an adverse change in the financial condition of significant tenants.

If we determine that an asset has indicators of impairment, we must determine whether the undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset exceed the carrying amount of the asset. In calculating the undiscounted net cash flows of an asset, we must estimate a number of inputs. We must estimate future rental rates, future capital expenditures, future operating expenses, and market capitalization rates for residual values, among other things. In addition, if there are alternative strategies for the future use of the asset, we assess the probability of each alternative strategy and perform a probability-weighted undiscounted cash flow analysis to assess the recoverability of the asset.

In determining the fair value of an asset, we exercise judgment on a number of factors. We may determine fair value by using a discounted cash flow calculation or by utilizing comparable market information. We must determine an appropriate discount rate to apply to the cash flows in the discounted cash flow calculation. We use judgment in analyzing comparable market information because no two real estate assets are identical in location and price. The estimates and judgments used in the impairment process are highly subjective and susceptible to frequent change.

Revenue Recognition

Our operations primarily consist of rental revenue earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent and escalations. Several judgments and estimates are included in the rental property revenue recognition process including the treatment of the contractual rental stream and the determination of the treatment of lease modifications.

The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators, revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term. Differences between the rental revenue recognized and amounts due under the respective lease agreements are records as an increase to “Deferred assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. We also monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our tenants and operators and exercise judgement in assessing the probability of collection. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable, all tenant receivables, including deferred rent, are written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant is recognized only upon receipt of cash.

We periodically enter into amendments to our leases. When a lease is amended, we need to determine whether (1) an additional right of use not included in the original lease is being granted as a result of the modification and (2) there is an increase in the lease payments that is commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. If both of those conditions are met, the amendment is accounted for as a separate contract. If both of those conditions are not met, the amendment is accounted for as a lease modification. Most of our lease amendments result in a lease modification of our operating leases which will likely require us to reassess both the lease term and fixed lease payments, including considering any prepaid or accrued lease rentals relating to the original lease as a part of the lease payments for the modified lease.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The major factors that resulted in variances in our results of operations for each revenue and expense category for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 were (i) the increase in the size of our property portfolio and (ii) the impact of Internalization, including expenses related to the Internalization. Our total investments in real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was $1.0 billion and $849.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue

Total Revenue

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $93.7 million, compared to $70.7 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $23.0 million. The increase was primarily the result of rental revenue earned from the facilities we acquired during 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full year of rental revenue in 2020 from acquisitions that were completed during 2019. Within that increase, $8.9 million in revenue was recognized from net lease expense recoveries during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was partially offset by the recognition of reserves for approximately $1.4 million of rent, which includes $0.4 million of deferred rent.

Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $11.9 million, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $5.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of the Internalization and our recognition of compensation-related costs and other administrative expenses that prior to the Internalization were the obligation of our Former Advisor. In addition, reflecting the impact of LTIP unit grants made in connection with the Internalization, this increase was also due to an increase in non-cash LTIP compensation expense, which was $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2019.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $10.9 million, compared with $6.0 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $4.9 million. The increase results primarily from $8.9 million of recoverable property operating expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2019.  In addition, our operating expenses

46

Table of Contents

include $1.2 million of property operating expenses from gross leases for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2019.

Management Fees – related party

Management fee expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $4.0 million, compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $2.3 million. The decrease was the result of only incurring management fee expense for the first six months of the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a full year in 2019. This fee was calculated based on our stockholders’ equity balance.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $26.7 million, compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $7.6 million. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation expense incurred on the facilities we acquired during 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full year of depreciation expense in 2020 from acquisitions that were completed during 2019.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $9.6 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $4.0 million. The increase resulted primarily from amortization expense incurred on intangible assets related to the facilities we acquired during 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full year of amortization expense in 2020 from acquisitions that were completed during 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $18.7 million, compared to $17.5 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $1.2 million. This increase was primarily due to higher average borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the same period last year, the proceeds of which were primarily used to finance our property acquisitions during that time period.

The weighted average interest rate of our debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 3.41% compared to 4.24% in 2019. Additionally, the weighted average interest rate and term of our debt was 3.17% and 2.79 years, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Management Internalization Expense

Management internalization expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $14.0 million, compared to zero for the same period in 2019. This expense represents a one-time expense of $12.1 million related to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship and $1.9 million of professional fees associated with the Internalization.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $(2.5) million compared to net income of $9.6 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $12.1 million. The decrease resulted primarily from the recognition of $14.0 million of management internalization expense and the increase in expenses for the current year, partially offset from an increase in rental revenue during the current year.

Assets and Liabilities

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, our principal assets consisted of investments in real estate, net, of $1.0 billion and $849.0 million, respectively, and our liquid assets consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $10.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

The increase in our investments in real estate, net, to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2020 compared to $849.0 million as of December 31, 2019, was the result of the 18 acquisitions that we completed during the year ended December 31, 2020.

47

Table of Contents

The increase in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances to $10.8 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2019, was primarily due to cash inflows from net borrowings on our Credit Facility and additional borrowings, and net proceeds from common equity offerings. These cash inflows were partially offset by funds used to acquire real estate, pay the Internalization consideration, and dividends paid to our common and preferred stockholders and OP Unit and LTIP Unit holders of our Operating Partnership.

The increase in our total liabilities to $643.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $424.6 million as of December 31, 2019, was primarily the result of higher net borrowings outstanding from our Credit Facility during the current year, additional borrowings related to acquisitions, an increase in our derivative liability balance, and an increase in our acquired lease intangible liability balance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our short-term liquidity requirements include:

Interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, which includes a near term (under one year) debt maturity of $7.1 million;
General and administrative expenses;
Operating expenses; and
Property acquisitions and tenant improvements.

In addition, we require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and OP Unit and LTIP Unit holders in our Operating Partnership.

As of February 28, 2021, we had cash balances and available capacity under our Revolver of approximately $85 million. Our primary sources of cash include rent and reimbursements we collect from our tenants, borrowings under our Credit Facility, secured term loans, and net proceeds received from equity issuances.  In addition, we may generate cash from property dispositions.

Assuming our current level of COVID-19-related rent deferrals, we believe we will be able to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations. In order to continue acquiring healthcare properties, we will need to continue to have access to debt and equity financing. See “—Trends Which May Influence our Results of Operations” for a description of our liquidity trends.  

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, capital and tenant improvements at our properties, scheduled debt maturities, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and distributions. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, debt financing, sales of additional equity securities, the issuance of OP Units in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions.

Equity Issuances. In August 2017, the Company, the Former Advisor and the Operating Partnership entered into a Sales Agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, up to $50 million of its common stock (the “2017 ATM Program”).  In August 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a Sales Agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $150 million of its common stock (the “2020 ATM Program”).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated gross proceeds of $54.5 million through ATM equity issuances of 4.2 million shares of our common stock at an average offering price of $12.84 per share. Of our ATM equity issuances in 2020, (i) 1.2 million shares of our common stock were issued and sold pursuant to the 2017 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $14.2 million (which constituted the remainder of the amounts available under the 2017 ATM Program) and (ii) 3.0 million shares of our common stock were issued and sold pursuant to the 2020 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $40.3 million.

Since December 31, 2020, we generated gross proceeds of $35.4 million through ATM equity issuances of 2.7 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average offering price of $13.07 per share.  As of February 28, 2021, we had $74.3 million remaining under the 2020 ATM Program.

Credit Facility. On July 24, 2020, the Company received aggregate commitments of up to $100 million from certain of its lenders pursuant to the accordion feature (the “Accordion”) under its Credit Facility. With the closing of the Accordion, the borrowing capacity under the Company’s Credit Facility was increased to $600 million, consisting of a $250 million capacity revolver (the “Revolver”), a $350 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), and a remaining $50 million accordion. The remaining terms of the Credit Facility were unchanged. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate that is based on LIBOR plus a specified margin based on the Company’s leverage.  

We are subject to a number of financial covenants under our Credit Facility, including, among other things, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of less than 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $203.8 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity offerings subsequent to March 31, 2018 and (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00. Additionally, beginning at the end of fourth quarter of 2020, our distributions to common stockholders are limited to an amount equal to 95% of our AFFO (our AFFO payout ratio). As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility, and we do not believe our current level of COVID-19-related rent deferrals affect our ability to comply with such covenants.

Other Term Indebtedness.  In connection with the acquisition of the Dumfries Facility in April 2020, we assumed a CMBS loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $12.1 million, an interest rate of 4.68% and a remaining term of four years. In connection with the acquisition of the Rosedale Facilities in July 2020, we entered into a loan with FVCbank in the amount of $14.8 million with an annual interest rate of 3.85% and a term of five years.

Hedging Instruments. As of December 31, 2020, we had entered into six interest rate swaps with four counterparties to hedge the LIBOR component of our interest rate risk related to the Term Loan. Together, these swaps fix the LIBOR component of the entire $350 million Term Loan on a weighted average basis at 1.91%. An aggregate of $200 million of the swaps mature in August 2024 and an additional $150 million matures in August 2023. The table below provides details on our interest rate swaps:

LIBOR Transition. In July 2017, the FCA that regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

organized the ARRC which identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Credit Facility provides that, on or about the LIBOR cessation date (subject to an early opt-in election), LIBOR shall be replaced as a benchmark rate in the Credit Facility with a new benchmark rate to be agreed upon by the Company and BMO, with such adjustments to cause the new benchmark rate to be economically equivalent to LIBOR. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be enough liquidity in the SOFR markets.

Cash Flow Information

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $34.5 million, compared with $36.4 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease during 2020 was primarily due to the net loss for the year. The net loss was primarily the result of a one-time expense of $12.1 million related to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $223.7 million, compared with $258.2 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease during 2020 was primarily the result of less real estate investment activity in 2020 compared to 2019, partially offset by cash paid during the current year to acquire our Former Advisor in connection with the Internalization.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $192.7 million, compared with $224.1 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease during 2020 was primarily due to the fact that the current year had lower net proceeds from common equity offerings and higher dividends paid to our common stockholders, partially offset by higher net borrowings on the Credit Facility, and additional borrowings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Company considers FFO and AFFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results.

In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP Units and LTIP Units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, less preferred stock dividends, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of above and below market leases), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company did not record any adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Because FFO excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of debt issuance costs and above and below market lease amortization expense), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.

AFFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates AFFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company these items include management internalization costs (including a one-time expense related to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship), recurring acquisition and disposition costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, recurring stock-based compensation expense, recurring amortization of above and below market leases, recurring amortization of debt issuance costs, recurring lease commissions, and other items.

Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. The Company’s FFO and AFFO computations may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, or that compute FFO and AFFO in a different manner.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had tenant improvement allowances of approximately $30 million, subject to contingencies that make it difficult to predict when such allowances will be utilized, if at all.

Inflation

Historically, inflation has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our healthcare facilities. Many of our triple-net lease agreements contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses that enable us to receive payment of increased rent pursuant to escalation clauses which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. These escalation clauses often provide for fixed rent increases or indexed escalations (based upon the CPI or other measures). However, some of these contractual rent increases may be less than the actual rate of inflation. Most of our triple-net lease agreements require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This requirement reduces our exposure to increases in these costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business and investment objectives, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to acquire healthcare facilities, including borrowings under the Credit Facility. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the value of our variable rate financial obligations to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $175.2 million of unhedged borrowings outstanding under the Revolver (before the netting of unamortized debt issuance costs) that bears interest at a variable rate. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed discussion of our Credit Facility. At December 31, 2020, LIBOR on our outstanding floating-rate borrowings was 0.18%. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable interest rate debt, if LIBOR increased 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.8 million annually. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR were reduced 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $1.8 million annually.

As of December 31, 2019, we had $51.4 million of unhedged borrowings outstanding under the Revolver (before the netting of unamortized deferred financing costs) that bears interest at a variable rate. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed discussion of our Credit Facility. At December 31, 2019, LIBOR on our outstanding floating-rate borrowings was 1.84%. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable interest rate debt, if LIBOR increased 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $0.5 million annually. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR were reduced 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $0.5 million annually.  The difference in variable interest rate exposure from 2019 through 2020 was primarily due to an increase in unhedged borrowings under the Revolver.

Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or variable rates. As of December 31, 2020, in total we had entered into six interest rate swaps with four counterparties to hedge the LIBOR component of our interest rate risk related to the Term Loan. Together, these swaps fix the LIBOR component of the entire $350 million Term Loan on a weighted average basis at 1.91%. See Note 4 – “Credit Facility, Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments” for further details on our interest rate swaps. We may enter into additional derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on our future borrowings. We will not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants/operators and borrowers, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Global Medical REIT Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Medical REIT Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 8, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Acquisition of Real Estate Assets – Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed 18 property acquisitions which increased the Investment in Real Estate by approximately $226.5 million. For each acquisition, substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and, therefore, each acquisition represents an asset acquisition. For asset acquisitions that are “owner occupied” (meaning that the seller either is the tenant or controls the tenant), the purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, are allocated to land and building based on their relative fair values with no value allocated to intangible assets or liabilities. For asset acquisitions where there is a lease in place but not “owner occupied,” the Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets and any intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values utilizing

54

Table of Contents

the assistance of a third-party appraiser. For these type of asset acquisitions, tangible assets include land, building, site improvement and tenant improvements. Intangibles assets include in-place leases, leasing costs and above-market leases while intangible liabilities include below-market leases.

The fair value of land is determined using the sales comparison approach whereby recent comparable land sales and listings are gathered and summarized. The available market data is then compared to the land being valued and adjustments are made for dissimilar characteristics such as market conditions, size, and location. The fair value of buildings acquired are estimated on an as-if-vacant basis and the value is primarily based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. The fair value of site improvements is based on the cost approach with a deduction for depreciation, and the fair value of tenant improvements is based on prevailing market tenant improvement allowances.

In-place lease intangible assets are valued considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. Estimates used in developing the carrying cost are based on market lease terms and include costs related to real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses, as well as estimates of lost market rental revenue during the expected lease up periods. Leasing Cost intangible assets consist of leasing commissions and legal fees. Leasing commissions are estimated by multiplying the remaining contract rent by a market leasing commission. Legal fees represent legal costs associated with writing, reviewing, and sometimes negotiating various lease terms. The fair value of above-or-below market leases is estimated based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the lease and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease.

Given the relative fair value determination of assets acquired and liabilities assumed required management to use various valuation methodologies and make significant estimates related to assumptions including the selection of the discount rates, capitalization rates, determination of market rental rates, expected lease up period, and comparable land sales adjusted for dissimilar characteristics, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the approach and these assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgement and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of controls over the purchase price allocation, including management’s controls over the review of the third-party appraisals, review of assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, market rental rates, lease up period, and comparable land sales, and the valuation methodology for estimating the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, as well as various assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, market rental rates, tenant improvement allowance, lease up period, and comparable adjusted land sales. For the discount rate, capitalization rate, and lease up period assumptions we developed an independent range and compared the rate or period selected by management to the range, considering property specific factors. For assumptions related to market rental rates, tenant improvement allowance, and comparable adjusted land sales, we evaluated the market comparables selected by management, concluding whether they were reasonable based on property specific factors.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models.

Management Internalization Transaction – Refer to Notes 1, 2 and 6 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

On July 9, 2020, the Company internalized the function performed by the former Advisor by acquiring Inter-American Group Holdings Inc., which is the parent Company of the former Advisor (the “Internalization). A portion of the consideration paid was attributable to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship (the Management Agreement) and expensed based on the fair value of the Management Agreement. The fair value of the Management Agreement was determined by management with the assistance of a third-party specialist using the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach used to value intangible assets. To quantify the cash flows attributable solely to the subject intangible asset, contributory asset charges are applied to account for the use of and/or required return of these assets. Expected Management Agreement earnings were forecasted over the

55

Table of Contents

estimated duration of the intangible asset with adjustments made for taxes and the required return for the use of the contributory assets. The after-tax excess cash flows were then present valued to estimate the value of the Management Agreement as of July 9, 2020. This required the selection of significant assumptions such as the discount rate, and expected Management Agreement earnings.

Given the fair value determination of the Management Agreement required management to make significant estimates related to assumptions such as the selection of the discount rate, and expected Management Agreement earnings, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the approach and these assumptions required a high degree of audit judgement and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the fair value of the Management Agreement included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the Management Agreement, including management’s controls over the review of the third-party fair value analysis and valuation methodology as well as review of assumptions such as the discount rate and expected Management Agreement earnings.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology as well as the discount rate. For the discount rate, we developed an independent range and compared that to the rate utilized by management. We also evaluated the expected Management Agreement earnings developed by management through retrospective analysis and evaluation of growth assumptions.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the valuation model.

GLOBAL MEDICAL REIT INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Organization

Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share. The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary named Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company named Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was the 93.56% limited partner of the Operating Partnership, with an aggregate of 6.44% of the Operating Partnership owned by holders of long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) and third-party limited partners who contributed properties or services to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common limited partnership units (“OP Units”). The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GMRE.” The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GMRE PrA." As described below, until July 9, 2020, the Company was externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of the Company (the “Former Advisor”).

On July 9, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Inter-American Group Holdings Inc. (“IAGH”), the parent company of the Former Advisor, for total consideration, after a working capital adjustment, of $17,746 (the “Internalization”). The Internalization was completed pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Zensun Enterprises Limited (“Zensun”) and Mr. Jeffrey Busch. Prior to the Internalization, IAGH was owned by Zensun (85%) and Mr. Busch (15%).

 A special committee (the "Special Committee") comprised entirely of independent and disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"), after consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, determined that the Internalization was advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company’s stockholders and recommended that the Board authorize and approve the Internalization. Upon such recommendation from the Special Committee, the Board authorized and approved the Internalization. Approval by the Company’s stockholders was not required.

 

Upon completion of the Internalization, the Management Agreement (as defined in Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions”) was terminated, the employees of the Former Advisor became employees of the Company and the functions previously performed by the Former Advisor were internalized by the Company.  

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own but controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest in the Company includes the LTIP Units that have been granted to directors, officers and affiliates of the Company and the OP Units held by third parties. Refer to Note 5 – “Equity” and Note 7 – “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional information regarding the OP Units and LTIP Units.

The Company classifies noncontrolling interest as a component of consolidated equity on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, separate from the Company’s total equity. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the respective ownership or voting percentage in the Operating Partnership associated with such noncontrolling interests and is removed from consolidated income or loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to derive net income or loss attributable to common stockholders. The noncontrolling ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of LTIP Units and OP Units by the total number of units and shares outstanding. Any future issuances of additional LTIP Units or OP Units would change the noncontrolling ownership interest.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in Real Estate

The Company determines when an acquisition meets the definition of a business or alternatively should be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC Topic 805"), which requires that, when substantially all of the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or group of similar identifiable assets does not meet the definition of a business and therefore is required to be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Transaction costs continue to be capitalized for asset acquisitions and expensed as incurred for business combinations. ASC Topic 805 resulted in all of our post-January 1, 2018 property acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets the Company acquires are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets. For asset acquisitions that are “owner occupied” (meaning that the seller either is the tenant or controls the tenant), the purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, will be allocated to land and building based on their relative fair values with no value allocated to intangible assets or liabilities. For asset acquisitions where there is a lease in place but not “owner occupied,” the Company will allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and any intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs, such as rent comparables, sales comparables, and broker indications. Although Level 3 Inputs are utilized, they are minor in comparison to the Level 2 data used for the primary assumptions. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimates. We make estimates to determine the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information obtained from multiple sources, including pre-acquisition due diligence, and we routinely utilize the assistance of a third-party appraiser.

Valuation of tangible assets:

The fair value of land is determined using the sales comparison approach whereby recent comparable land sales and listings are gathered and summarized. The available market data is analyzed and compared to the land being valued and adjustments are made for dissimilar characteristics such as market conditions, size, and location. The Company estimates the fair value of buildings acquired on an as-if-vacant basis and depreciates the building value over its estimated remaining life. Fair value is primarily based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. The Company determines the fair value of site improvements (non-building improvements that include paving and other) using the cost approach, with a deduction for depreciation, and depreciates the site improvements over their estimated remaining useful lives. Tenant improvements represent fixed improvements to tenant spaces, the fair value of which is estimated using prevailing market tenant improvement allowances. Tenant improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the lease.

Valuation of intangible assets:

In determining the fair value of in-place leases (the avoided cost associated with existing in-place leases) management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. In estimating carrying costs, management includes reimbursable (based on market lease terms) real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, as well as estimates of lost market rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods. The values assigned to in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the lease.

The fair value of above-or-below market leases is estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. An above market lease is classified as an intangible asset and a below market lease is classified as an intangible liability. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a reduction of, or an addition to, rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases.

64

Table of Contents

Intangible assets related to leasing costs consist of leasing commissions and legal fees. Leasing commissions are estimated by multiplying the remaining contract rent associated with each lease by a market leasing commission. Legal fees represent legal costs associated with writing, reviewing, and sometimes negotiating various lease terms. Leasing costs are amortized over the remaining useful life of the respective leases.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s operations primarily consist of rental revenue earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent and escalations. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators, revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment, with the difference between the contractual rental receipts and the straight-line amounts recorded as a “deferred rent receivable.” Additionally, the Company recognizes “expense recoveries” revenue, which represents revenue recognized related to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses (“tenant reimbursements”). The Company recognizes these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company may sell properties from time to time for various reasons, including favorable market conditions. Assets, primarily consisting of real estate, are classified as held for sale when all the necessary criteria are met. The criteria include (i) management, having the authority to approve action, commits to a plan to sell the property in its present condition, (ii) the sale of the property is at a price reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (iii) the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying amounts or estimated fair value less disposal costs. Depreciation and amortization are not recognized on real estate classified as held for sale.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of the asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts included in restricted cash represent (1) certain security deposits received from tenants at the inception of their leases; (2) cash required to be held by a third-party lender as a reserve for debt service; and (3) funds held by the Company that were received from certain tenants that the Company collected to pay specific tenant expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, on the tenant’s behalf ("tenant reimbursements"). The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that sums to the total of those amounts at the end of the periods presented on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Tenant Receivables, Net

The tenant receivable balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5,596 and $4,957, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2020 consisted of $1,817 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $1,200 of loans that were made to two of the Company’s tenants, and $2,579 of tenant reimbursements. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $1,428 in funds owed from the Company’s tenants for rent that the Company had earned but had not yet received, $1,062 of loans that were made to two of the Company’s tenants, $2,342 of tenant reimbursements, as well as $125 in miscellaneous receivables.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-03”) effective January 1, 2020.  Receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of these receivables should be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic 842”).  The adoption of ASU 2016-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The Company assesses the likelihood of losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments at each reporting date. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable, all tenant receivables, including deferred rent, are written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant is recognized only upon receipt of cash. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, a portfolio level reserve of $450 was established on those leases that were probable of collection to ensure that the tenant lease receivables were not overstated.  

Escrow Deposits

The escrow balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,817 and $3,417, respectively. Escrow deposits include funds held in escrow to be used for the acquisition of properties in the future and for the payment of taxes, insurance, and other amounts as stipulated by the Company’s Cantor Loan, as hereinafter defined.

Deferred Assets

The deferred assets balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $20,272 and $14,512, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2020 consisted of $20,192 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $80 of other deferred costs. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $14,204 in deferred rent receivables resulting from the recognition of revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalations on a straight-line basis and $308 of other deferred costs.

Other Assets

The other assets balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5,019 and $3,593, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2020 consisted of $3,598 for right of use assets (refer to Note 8 – “Leases” for additional details), $484 in capitalized preacquisition costs, $588 in prepaid assets, and $349 for net capitalized software costs and miscellaneous assets. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of $3,077 for a right of use asset, $223 in capitalized preacquisition costs, and $293 in a prepaid asset.

Security Deposits and Other

The security deposits and other liability balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,340 and $6,351, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2020 consisted of security deposits. The balance as of December 31, 2019 consisted of security deposits of $4,968 and a tenant impound liability of $1,383 related to amounts owed for specific tenant expenses such as real estate taxes.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's net liability balance related to interest rate swap derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk was $18,086 and $6,491, respectively. In accordance with the Company’s risk management strategy, the purpose of the interest rate swaps is to manage interest rate risk for certain of the Company’s variable-rate debt. The interest rate swaps involve the Company’s receipt of variable-rate amounts from four counterparties in exchange for the

Table of Contents

Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Refer to Note 4 – “Credit Facility, Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments” for additional details.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders Per Share

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute diluted net income or loss attributable to common stockholders per share. Basic net income or loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus any potential dilutive shares for the period. OP Units and LTIP Units are not reflected in the diluted per share calculation because the exchange of OP Units and LTIP Units into common stock is on a one-for-one basis, and both are allocated net income on a per share basis equal to the common stock. Accordingly, any exchange would not have any effect on diluted net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share. The Company considered the requirements of the two-class method when computing earnings per share and determined that there would be no difference in its reported results if that method was utilized.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs include amounts paid to lenders and other third parties to obtain both fixed term and revolving debt and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt. Refer to Note 4 – “Credit Facility, Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments” for additional details.

Related Party Disclosures

The Company enters into transactions with affiliated entities, or “related parties,” which are recorded as receivables or payables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Related party disclosures are governed by ASC Topic 850, “Related Party Disclosures.” Refer to Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional information regarding the Company’s related party transactions.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants LTIP Unit awards, including awards that vest over time and awards that vest based on achievement of specified performance criteria, to its employees and its independent directors. The Company accounts for all these awards under ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation," ("ASC Topic 718") after the 2018 adoption of ASU 2018-07, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2018-07"), which simplified several aspects of the accounting for non-employee transactions by stipulating that the existing accounting guidance for share-based payments to employees, accounted for under ASC Topic 718 will also apply to non-employee share-based transactions, previously accounted for under ASC Topic 505, “Equity.” ("ASC Topic 505"). Refer to Note 7 – “Stock Based Compensation” for additional details.

Depreciation Expense

Real estate and related assets are stated net of accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the buildings, which are generally between 23 and 50 years, tenant improvements, which are generally between one and 19 years, and site improvements, which are generally between three and 14 years.

Management Internalization Expense

As described in Note 1 – “Organization,” the Internalization transaction closed on July 9, 2020. The total amount of consideration for the Internalization, after a working capital adjustment, was $17,746.

67

Table of Contents

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the portion of the consideration paid for the Internalization that was attributed to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship (the Management Agreement) of $12,094 was recognized as “Management Internalization Expense” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the $5,903 of excess consideration paid over the fair value of underlying identifiable net liabilities of the business acquired of $251 was recorded as “Goodwill” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also incurred $1,911 of expense related to the Internalization for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is also included in the “Management Internalization Expense” line item.  The Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes no revenue and $3,458 of net loss related to the operations of the business acquired subsequent to its acquisition.

The table below presents the unaudited revenue and net income attributable to common stockholders on a pro forma basis as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2018. Pro forma net income attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020, excludes non-recurring expenses incurred related to the settlement of the preexisting contractual agreement of $12,094. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the business combination had occurred on the first day of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of underlying identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $5,903 of Goodwill related to the Internalization. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of the first day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The Company has one reporting unit.  

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment either under a qualitative assessment option or a quantitative approach depending on the facts and circumstances of the reporting unit, consideration of the excess of the reporting unit's fair value over its carrying amount in previous assessments and changes in business environment.

When performing a qualitative assessment, the Company considers factors including, but not limited to, current macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, financial performance and other events relevant to the entity or the reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed.

When performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test, the reporting unit carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is deemed impaired if, and the impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which, the reporting unit carrying value exceeds its fair value.

Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires the exercise of significant judgment and assumptions including judgments about expected future cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, discount rates and expected long-term growth rates. A significant change to these estimates and assumptions could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting unit to decline and increase the risk of an impairment charge to earnings.

We performed a qualitative analysis during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of the reporting units carrying value, and as a result, a quantitative step one analysis was not necessary.

The amount attributable to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship was based on the fair value of the Management Agreement. The fair value was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”), a form of the income approach. The MPEEM is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to that asset. To quantify the cash flows attributable solely to the subject intangible asset, contributory asset charges are typically applied to account for the use of and/or required return on these assets. In applying the MPEEM, the earnings expected to be generated by the Management Agreement were forecasted over the estimated duration of the intangible asset. The earnings were then adjusted by taxes and the required return for the use of the contributory assets. The after-tax excess cash flows were then present valued, using discount rates and available market information, to estimate the fair value of the Management Agreement as of July 9, 2020. The Company utilized the assistance of a third-party specialist in the determination of the fair value of the Management Agreement.

Cash paid for the acquisition of the Former Advisor, after consideration of the settlement of preexisting contractual relationship of $12,094 and net of cash acquired of $559 was $5,093 and is included as an “Investing” activity in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for year ended December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. REITs are generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes if the Company can meet many specific requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax (including for 2017 and prior taxable years only, any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and the Company could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which the failure occurred. Even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state or local income taxes, and if the Company creates a TRS, the TRS will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income at regular corporate rates. The Company recognizes the tax effects of uncertain tax positions only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has not identified any material uncertain tax positions and recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense, if applicable. The Company is currently not under examination by any income tax jurisdiction.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

69

Table of Contents

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company considers the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, escrow deposits, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate the fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time since origination or the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. The Company considers the carrying value of its debt to approximate fair value. The fair values determined related to the Company’s interest rate swap transactions utilize Level 2 inputs, since there is heavy reliance on a variety of inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The fair values determined related to the Company’s acquisitions of real estate where the identification and recording of intangible assets and liabilities is required primarily utilize Level 2 inputs since there is heavy reliance on market observable data such as rent comparables, sales comparables, and broker indications. Although some Level 3 inputs are utilized, they are minor in comparison to the Level 2 date used for the primary assumptions as it relates to acquisitions of real estate.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in medical properties. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its investments on an individual asset level basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Modifications

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company has elected to apply such relief and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease-by-lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less. The Lease Modification Q&A has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact on the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions.

Reference Rate Reform

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), to simplify and reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance eliminates “Step 2” from the traditional two-step goodwill impairment test and redefines the concept of impairment from a measure of loss when comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount, to a measure comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment or “Step 2” of the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2020. There was no material impact to the Company’s Financial Statements or disclosures as a result of adopting ASU 2017-04.

Note 4 – Credit Facility, Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments

Credit Facility

The Company, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) are parties to a $600 million syndicated credit facility with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”), as administrative agent (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a $350 million term-loan component (the “Term Loan”) and a $250 million revolver component (the “Revolver”). The Credit Facility also contains a $50 million accordion. The term of the Revolver expires in August 2022, subject to a one-year extension option.  The term of the Term Loan expires in August 2023. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate that is based on LIBOR plus a specified margin based on the Company’s leverage.

The Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are guarantors of the obligations under the Credit Facility. The amount available to borrow from time to time under the Credit Facility is limited according to a quarterly borrowing base valuation of certain properties owned by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Operating Partnership is subject to a number of financial covenants under its Credit Facility, including, among other things, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of less than 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $203.8 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity offerings subsequent to March 31, 2018, (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00, and, (v) beginning at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, a quarterly requirement that the Company’s distributions to common stockholders and OP Unit and LTIP Unit holders be limited to an amount equal to 95% of its AFFO. As of December 31, 2020, the Company complied with all of the financial and non-financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk on the Term Loan. For additional information related to the interest rate swaps, see the “Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps” section herein.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $238,400 under the Credit Facility and repaid $64,550, for a net amount borrowed of $173,850. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company borrowed $244,250 under the Credit Facility and repaid $173,175, for a net amount borrowed of $71,075. Interest expense incurred on the Credit Facility was $14,669, $14,237, and $11,371 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Costs incurred related to the Credit Facility, net of accumulated amortization, are netted against the Company’s “Credit Facility, net of unamortized debt issuance costs” balance in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company paid $952 and $1,039 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to modifications to the Credit Facility and borrowing base additions. Amortization expense incurred was $1,225, $1,129, and $1,639 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and is included in the “Interest Expense” line item in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Credit Facility provides that, on or about the LIBOR cessation date (subject to an early opt-in election), LIBOR shall be replaced as a benchmark rate in the Credit Facility with a new benchmark rate to be agreed upon by the Company and BMO, with such adjustments to cause the new benchmark rate to be economically equivalent to LIBOR.  The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.

If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our interest rate swap agreements is likely to vary by agreement. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.

While the Company expects LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and potentially magnified.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, the Company records the swaps either as an asset or a liability measured at its fair value at each reporting period. When hedge accounting is applied, the change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is (i) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and (ii) subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. If specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently as an adjustment to net income.

The Company’s interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected size of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs within the framework of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was a net liability of $18,086 and $6,491 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross balances are included in the “Derivative Asset’ and “Derivative Liability” line items on the Company’s  Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(2)Approved by the Board on March 3, 2020. The number of target LTIP Units was based on the fair value of the Long-Term Awards as determined by an independent valuation consultant.

Annual Awards. The Annual Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Annual Award Agreements (“LTIP Annual Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee.

The Compensation Committee and Board established performance goals for the year ended December 31, 2020, as set forth in the 2020 LTIP Annual Award Agreements (the “Performance Goals”) that will be used to determine the number of LTIP Units earned by each grantee. As of December 31, 2020, management estimated that the Performance Goals would be met at a 135% level and, accordingly, estimated that 135% of the 2020 program target Annual Awards were expected to be earned at the end of the performance period. Cumulative stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects management’s estimate that 135% of these awards will be earned. As soon as reasonably practicable following the first anniversary of the Annual Awards grant date, the Compensation Committee and Board will determine the extent to which the Company has achieved each of the Performance Goals (expressed as a percentage) and, based on such determination, will calculate the number of LTIP Units that each grantee is entitled to receive. Each grantee may earn up to 150% of the number of his/her target LTIP Units. Any 2020 Annual Award LTIP Units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled.

Vesting. LTIP Units that are earned as of the end of the applicable performance period will be subject to vesting, subject to continued employment through each vesting date, in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP Units will become vested on the date in 2021 that the Board approves the number of LTIP Units to be awarded pursuant to the performance components set forth in the 2020 LTIP Annual Award Agreements and 50% of the earned LTIP Units become vested on the one year anniversary of the initial vesting date. Vesting may be accelerated under certain circumstances such as a “change-in-control” transaction or a “qualified termination” event.

Distributions. Distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP Units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Awards. The Long-Term Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of their related LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements (collectively the “LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee. The number of LTIP Units that each grantee is entitled to earn under the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements will be determined following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), which is determined based on a combination of appreciation in stock price and dividends paid during the performance period. Each grantee may earn up to 200% of the number of target LTIP Units covered by the grantee’s Long-Term Award. Any target LTIP Units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled. The number of LTIP Units earned under the Long-Term Awards will be determined as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the applicable three-year performance period based on the Company’s TSR on an absolute basis (as to 75% of the Long-Term Award) and relative to the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (as to 25% of the Long-Term Award).

Vesting. LTIP Units that are earned as of the end of the applicable three-year performance period will be subject to forfeiture restrictions that will lapse (“vesting”), subject to continued employment through each vesting date as follows; 50% of the earned LTIP Units will vest upon the third anniversary of the respective grant dates and the remaining 50% will vest on the fourth anniversary of the respective grant dates. Vesting may be accelerated under certain circumstances such as a “change-in-control” transaction or a “qualified termination” event.

Distributions. Pursuant to the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements, distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP Units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Under the provisions of ASU 2018-07, the Company’s prospective compensation expense for all unvested LTIP Units, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is recognized using the adoption date fair value of the awards, with no remeasurement required. Compensation expense for future LTIP Unit grants, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is based on the grant date fair value of the units/awards, with no subsequent remeasurement required.

As the Long-Term Awards involve market-based performance conditions, the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to provide a grant date fair value for expense recognition. The Monte Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical technique used, in this instance, to simulate a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and the members of the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (the “Index”) over the Performance Periods. The purpose of this modeling is to use a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the performance share award for purposes of accounting under ASC Topic 718.

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation include beginning average stock price, valuation date stock price, expected volatilities, correlation coefficients, risk-free rate of interest, and expected dividend yield. The beginning average stock price is the beginning average stock price for the Company and each member of the Index for the five trading days leading up to the grant date of the  Long-Term Award. The valuation date stock price is the closing stock price of the Company and each of the peer companies in the Index on the grant dates of the Long-Term Awards. The expected volatilities are modeled using the historical volatilities for the Company and the members of the Index. The correlation coefficients are calculated using the same data as the historical volatilities. The risk-free rate of interest is taken from the U.S. Treasury website and relates to the expected life of the remaining performance period on valuation or revaluation. Lastly, the dividend yield assumption is 0.0%, which is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity, which is part of the Company’s award agreement assumptions.

Below are details regarding certain of the assumptions for the Long-Term Awards using Monte Carlo simulations:

Note 8 – Leases

The Company operates as both a lessor and a lessee. As a lessor, the Company is required under ASC Topic 842 to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to ASC Topic 840’s guidance for operating leases and other leases such as sales-type leases and direct financing leases. In addition, ASC Topic 842 requires lessors to capitalize and amortize only incremental direct leasing costs. As a lessee, the Company is required under the new standard to apply a dual approach, classifying leases, such as ground leases, as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ASC Topic 842 also requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with an initial term of greater than a year regardless of their classification. The Company has also elected the practical expedient not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of a year or less.

Information as Lessor Under ASC Topic 842

To generate positive cash flow, as a lessor, the Company leases its facilities to tenants in exchange for fixed monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries, primarily common area maintenance (“CAM”). The Company’s leases were determined to be operating leases and have a portfolio-average-lease-years remaining of approximately 10 years. Payments from the Company’s tenants for CAM are considered nonlease components that are separated from lease components and are generally accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. However, the Company qualified for and elected the practical expedient related to combining the components because the lease component is classified as an operating lease and the timing and pattern of transfer of CAM income, which is not the predominant component, is the same as the lease component, for all asset classes. As such, consideration for CAM is accounted for as part of the overall consideration in the lease. Payments from customers for property taxes and insurance are considered non-components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them because they do not transfer a good or service to the customer. Fixed contractual payments from the Company’s leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the tenant assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements.

Some of the Company’s leases are subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Although increases in CPI are not estimated as part of the Company’s measurement of straight-line rental revenue, for leases with base rent increases based on CPI, the amount of rent revenue recognized is adjusted in the period the changes in CPI are measured and effective. Additionally, some of the Company’s leases have extension options.

Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the leasing of our facilities are capitalized when material as incurred. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the respective leases. All other costs to negotiate or arrange a lease are expensed as incurred.

Lease-related receivables, which include accounts receivable and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses, if applicable. To date the Company’s receivables have not had any credit losses. Such amounts would be recognized as a reduction to rental and other revenues. The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease-related receivables. The Company’s evaluation of collectability primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our tenant, historical trends of the tenant and changes in tenant payment terms. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectability of lease-related receivables prove incorrect, the Company could experience credit losses in excess of what was recognized in rental and other revenues.

The Company recognized $93,518 and $70,515 of rental revenue related to operating lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of these amounts $4,924 and $5,341, respectively, relate to variable rental revenue. The

Information as Lessee Under ASC Topic 842

The Company has six buildings located on land that is subject to operating ground leases with a weighted average remaining term of approximately 41 years. Rental payments on these leases are adjusted periodically based on either the CPI or on a pre-determined schedule. The monthly payments on a pre-determined schedule are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Changes in the CPI are not estimated as part of our measurement of straight-line rental expense. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of approximately 7.5%, which was derived, using a portfolio approach, from our assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments over appropriate tenors. Some of the Company’s ground leases contain extension options and, where we determined it was reasonably certain that an extension would occur, they were included in our calculation of the right of use asset and liability. The Company recognized approximately $140 and $107 of ground lease expense, of which $116 and $107 was paid in cash, during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows of our scheduled obligations for future lease payments on operating ground leases at December 31, 2020 and a reconciliation of those cash flows to the operating lease liability at December 31, 2020:

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, even an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with our management and directors’ authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention of or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Under the supervision of management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2020.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our internal control over financial reporting, and that firm’s report on our internal control over financial reporting is set forth below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Global Medical REIT Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Global Medical REIT Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated March 8, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
