Frequently Asked Questions

Healthpeak’s monthly dividend payments provide shareholders with several advantages over quarterly dividends. While all dividend payments are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and are not guaranteed, monthly distributions can offer the following benefits for investors seeking reliable, passive REIT income:

• Frequent and Predictable Income: Monthly dividends deliver a more regular and predictable income stream, which can simplify budgeting and financial planning—especially for those who rely on investment income for living expenses.
• Compounding Potential: Monthly dividend payments allow for more frequent reinvestment, which can accelerate portfolio growth through the power of compounding.
• Budgeting and Stability: Investors, including retirees, may appreciate the transparency and consistency of monthly payments for managing ongoing expenses.
• Portfolio Diversification and Stability: Healthpeak’s diversified real estate portfolio and long-term lease structures help support consistent dividend distributions, providing additional stability for shareholders.

Please note: There can be no assurance that future dividends will be paid or that the amount will remain consistent. Dividend payments are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and may be affected by various factors, including operating results, cash flow, and market conditions.

Healthpeak (NYSE: DOC) builds, owns, and manages world-class facilities for healthcare Discovery and Outpatient Care (“DOC”). Our properties fuel innovation in patient care and research—accelerating scientific discovery, enhancing healthcare delivery, fostering healthier populations, and driving shareholder value.

Our diversified portfolio of high-quality healthcare properties supports essential needs across the continuum of care. The portfolio is focused on three core asset classes: Outpatient Medical buildings, strategically located on or adjacent to hospital campuses and outpatient hubs that deliver convenient, lower-cost care; Life Science campuses in San Francisco, Boston and San Diego, where leading biopharma companies develop new and innovate treatments; and Senior Housing properties which offer seniors a full spectrum of living and healthcare services.

We invest in and manage our real estate portfolio for the long term to maximize the benefits to our stockholders and support the growth of our dividends. Our strategy consists of four core elements:

• Our real estate: Our portfolio is grounded in high-quality properties in desirable locations. We focus on three purposely selected private pay asset classes, outpatient medical, lab, and continuing care retirement community, to provide stability through inevitable market cycles.

• Our financials: We maintain a strong investment-grade balance sheet with ample liquidity as well as long-term fixed-rate debt financing with staggered maturities to reduce our exposure to interest-rate volatility and refinancing risk.

• Our partnerships: We work with leading healthcare companies, operators, and service providers, and are responsive to their space and capital needs. We provide high-quality management services to encourage tenants to renew, expand, and relocate into our properties, which drives increased occupancy, rental rates, and property values.

• Our platform: We have a people-first culture that we believe attracts, develops, and retains top talent. We continually strive to create and maintain an industry-leading platform, with systems and tools that allow us to effectively and efficiently manage our assets and investment activity.

A Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) is a corporation that combines the capital of many investors to acquire or provide financing for income-producing real estate. A corporation must meet several requirements to qualify as a REIT, but one of the most important is that it must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income, excluding capital gains, to its shareholders annually. When a corporation elects REIT status, it is permitted to deduct dividends paid to its shareholders from its federal tax bill. For additional information about REITS, please visit our industry trade association’s website at www.reit.com.

Healthcare REITs invest in healthcare-related properties such as outpatient medical buildings, laboratory buildings, senior housing facilities, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities. Healthcare REITs do not provide healthcare services since they cannot typically operate the properties they own.

• Access/Affordability: REITs allow everyday investors to invest in income-producing real estate by purchasing shares in a REIT rather than making the large capital investments typically required to buy real estate. Investors can determine the level of their investment by adjusting the number of shares they purchase and hold.
• Professional Management: Healthpeak is led by a seasoned management team with decades of healthcare real estate expertise, executing strategies that drive durable internal growth while capitalizing on accretive capital allocation opportunities. Supported by over 150 property management professionals, we are focused on delivering best-in-class service and meeting our tenants’ specialized real estate needs.
• Liquidity and Corporate Governance: As an NYSE-listed company, Healthpeak offers investors deep daily trading liquidity, transparent financial reporting, and strong corporate governance under one of the world’s most established regulatory frameworks.
• Operational Oversight: Independent directors, independent financial analysts, independent auditors, and the business and financial media regularly monitor a publicly traded REIT’s financial reporting. This scrutiny provides investors with a measure of protection and more than one barometer of the REIT’s financial condition.
• Portfolio Diversification: Real estate can help minimize risk by adding diversification to an existing investment portfolio. Moreover, an investment in a REIT can represent an investment that is diversified across a range of real estate properties in a variety of geographic locations.
• Total Return Opportunity: REITs typically provide attractive dividend income and the potential to realize long-term capital appreciation. There can be no assurances that investors in Healthpeak will reap any or all of these advantages.
