Chiron Real Estate Inc.

Previous wording

Under the REIT tax rules, the senior housing communities in our SHOP segment that are “qualified healthcare properties” generally must be operated and managed for us by third-party managers and we have limited rights to direct or influence the business or operations of those communities. Both our qualified and non-qualified healthcare properties in our SHOP segment are managed or sub-managed by third-party managers. However, in each case, we nonetheless participate directly in the financial performance of the communities’ operations and are ultimately responsible for all operational risks and other liabilities of such properties, other than those arising out of certain actions by our managers, such as gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. These risks include, and our financial performance is impacted by, among other things, fluctuations in occupancy levels, the inability to charge desirable resident fees (including anticipated increases in those fees), increases in the cost of food, supplies, energy, labor (as a result of labor shortages, unionization, inflation or otherwise) or other services, rent control regulations, national and regional economic conditions, the imposition of new or increased taxes, capital expenditure requirements, changes in management or equity, accounting misstatements, professional and general liability claims, litigation and regulatory actions and the availability and cost of insurance. Additionally, new or smaller third-party managers may have less experience in managing these senior housing communities and may require more oversight or attention. Any one or a combination of these factors could impact the performance of our SHOP segment, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

We are party to management agreements with our SHOP managers and sub-managers. While our management and sub-management agreements may be renewed, either pursuant to pre-negotiated renewal rights or through negotiation, there can be no assurance that our managers or sub-managers will renew with us. Even if a manager or sub-manager renews its agreement with us, we cannot assure you that the renewals will be on favorable terms. This risk may be exacerbated if market conditions at the time of the renewal are not as favorable as they were at the time the agreement was initially entered into or if the manager or sub-manager is subject to financial or operational difficulties.

From time to time, we or our managers or sub-managers may be subject to lawsuits, investigations, claims and other legal or regulatory proceedings arising out of our or their alleged actions or inactions. Also, in certain circumstances, regardless of whether we are a named party in a lawsuit, investigation, claim or other legal or regulatory proceeding, we may be contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our managers, sub-managers and other third parties against, or may otherwise be responsible for such actions, proceedings or claims. These claims may include, among other things, professional liability and general liability claims, commercial liability claims, unfair business practices claims, class action claims, employment-related claims, as well as regulatory proceedings, including proceedings related to our SHOP segment, where we are typically the holder of the applicable healthcare license. In addition, some of our properties may be in states in which the litigation environment may pose a significant business risk to us.

In our operating assets, we will be generally responsible for all liabilities of the properties, including any lawsuits, investigations, claims and other legal or regulatory proceedings, other than those arising out of certain limited actions by our managers or sub-managers, such as those caused by gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. As a result, we have exposure to, among other things, professional and general liability claims, employment-related claims and the associated litigation and other costs related to defending and resolving such claims, some of which may be uninsured, either as a result of insufficient coverage or unavailability of coverage at a reasonable price.

Previous wording

An unfavorable resolution of any such lawsuit, investigation, claim or other legal or regulatory proceeding could materially and adversely affect our or our managers’ or sub-managers’ liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, and may not be protected by sufficient or any insurance coverage. Even with a favorable resolution of litigation or a proceeding, the effect of litigation and other potential litigation and proceedings may divert the attention of management and materially increase operating costs we or our managers or sub-managers incur. Negative publicity with respect to any lawsuits, claims or other legal or regulatory proceedings may also negatively impact their or our or the affected properties’ reputation.

Additionally, if the managers engaged by our TRS lessee do not qualify as “eligible independent contractors,” we could fail to qualify as a REIT. Each of the managers that enter into a management contract with our TRS lessee must qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” under the REIT rules in order for the rent paid to us by our 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 manager must not own, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of our outstanding stock and no person or group of persons can own more than 35% of our

Among other requirements, in order to qualify as an eligible independent contractor, a manager must not own, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of our outstanding stock and no person or group of persons can own more than 35% of our outstanding stock and the ownership interests of the manager, taking into account certain ownership attribution rules. The ownership attribution rules that apply for purposes of these 35% thresholds are complex. Although we intend to monitor ownership of our stock by our managers and their owners, there can be no assurance that these ownership levels will not be exceeded.
