Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) announced
today that it priced an underwritten public offering of 10,600,000
shares of its common stock in connection with the forward sale
agreement described below for gross proceeds of approximately $677
million before underwriting discounts and estimated offering
expenses payable by the Company. The shares will be offered from
time to time in one or more transactions on the New York Stock
Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated
transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time
of sale.
The underwriter has been granted a 30-day option to purchase up
to an additional 1,590,000 shares of Ventas’s common stock. If such
option is exercised, then Ventas plans to enter into an additional
forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser in respect of the
number of additional shares of Ventas’s common stock that is
subject to the exercise of such option. The offering is expected to
close on November 15, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of
customary conditions.
Wells Fargo Securities is acting as the underwriter for the
offering.
In connection with the offering, Ventas entered into a forward
sale agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, an
affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “forward purchaser”),
pursuant to which Ventas has agreed to sell shares of its common
stock to the forward purchaser at an initial forward sale price per
share equal to the price per share at which the underwriter
purchases the shares in the offering, subject to certain
adjustments. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the
forward purchaser or its affiliate is borrowing from third parties
an aggregate of 10,600,000 shares of Ventas’s common stock. Such
borrowed shares of Ventas’s common stock will be delivered by Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC or an affiliate (in such capacity, the
“forward seller”) for sale to the underwriter in the offering.
Ventas expects to physically settle the forward sale agreement (by
delivery of shares of its common stock) and receive proceeds from
the sale of those shares of its common stock upon one or more
forward settlement dates within approximately 12 months from the
date of the forward sale agreement. Ventas may also elect cash
settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of its
obligations under the forward sale agreement, subject to certain
conditions. If the forward purchaser or its affiliate does not
borrow and deliver to the forward seller for sale all of the shares
of Ventas’s common stock to be delivered and sold by it pursuant to
the terms of the underwriting agreement, Ventas will issue and sell
directly to the underwriter the number of shares of its common
stock not borrowed and delivered for sale by the forward purchaser
or its affiliate, and under such circumstances the number of shares
of Ventas’s common stock underlying the forward sale agreement will
be decreased by the number of shares of its common stock that
Ventas issues and sells.
Ventas will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of
the shares of its common stock by the forward seller to the
underwriter. Ventas intends to use any net proceeds that it
receives upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement
(and from the sale of any shares of common stock sold by Ventas to
the underwriter in connection with this offering) and the
additional forward sale agreement, if any, for working capital and
other general corporate purposes, which may include funding
acquisitions and investments or repayment of existing indebtedness,
and to pay related fees and expenses.
Ventas has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) and a preliminary prospectus supplement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the offering to

prospectus in that registration statement and the other documents

Certain factors that could affect our future results and our
ability to achieve our stated goals include, but are not limited
to: (a) our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and
synergies from, and effectively integrate, our completed or
anticipated acquisitions and investments; (b) our exposure and the
exposure of our tenants, managers and borrowers to complex
healthcare and other regulations, including evolving laws and
regulations regarding data privacy, cybersecurity and environmental
matters, and the challenges and expense associated with complying
with such regulation; (c) the potential for significant general and
commercial claims, legal actions, investigations, regulatory
proceedings and enforcement actions that could subject us or our
tenants, managers or borrowers to increased operating costs,
uninsured liabilities, including fines and other penalties,
reputational harm or significant operational limitations, including
the loss or suspension of or moratoriums on accreditations,
licenses or certificates of need, suspension of or nonpayment for
new admissions, denial of reimbursement, suspension,
decertification or exclusion from federal, state or foreign
healthcare programs or the closure of facilities or communities;
(d) our reliance on third-party managers and tenants to operate or
exert substantial control over properties they manage for, or rent
from, us, which limits our control and influence over such
properties, their operations and their performance; (e) the impact
of market and general economic conditions on us, our tenants,
managers and borrowers and in areas in which our properties are
geographically concentrated, including macroeconomic trends and
financial market events, such as bank failures and other events

inflation, changes in or elevated interest and exchange rates,
tightening of lending standards and reduced availability of credit
or capital, geopolitical conditions, supply chain pressures, rising
labor costs and historically low unemployment, events that affect
consumer confidence, our occupancy rates and resident fee revenues,
and the actual and perceived state of the real estate markets,
labor markets and public and private capital markets; (f) our
reliance and the reliance of our tenants, managers and borrowers on
the financial, credit and capital markets and the risk that those
markets may be disrupted or become constrained; (g) our ability,

prospect of our tenants, managers and borrowers; (h) the risk of
bankruptcy, inability to obtain benefits from governmental
programs, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants,
managers, borrowers and other obligors which may, among other
things, have an adverse impact on the ability of such parties to
make payments or meet their other obligations to us, which could
have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial
condition; (i) the risk that the borrowers under our loans or other
investments default or that, to the extent we are able to foreclose
or otherwise acquire the collateral securing our loans or other
investments, we will be required to incur additional expense or
indebtedness in connection therewith, that the assets will
underperform expectations or that we may not be able to
subsequently dispose of all or part of such assets on favorable
terms; (j) our current and future amount of outstanding
indebtedness, and our ability to access capital and to incur
additional debt which is subject to our compliance with covenants
in instruments governing our and our subsidiaries’ existing
indebtedness; (k) risks related to the recognition of reserves,
allowances, credit losses or impairment charges which are
inherently uncertain and may increase or decrease in the future and
may not represent or reflect the ultimate value of, or loss that we
ultimately realize with respect to, the relevant assets, which
could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and
financial condition; (l) the risk that our leases or management
agreement are not renewed or are renewed on less favorable terms,
that our tenants or managers default under those agreements or that
we are unable to replace tenants or managers on a timely basis or
on favorable terms, if at all; (m) our ability to identify and
consummate future investments in, or dispositions of, healthcare
assets and effectively manage our portfolio opportunities and our
investments in co-investment vehicles, joint ventures and minority

upon our business as a result of our status as a real estate
investment trust (“REIT”) and the adverse consequences (including
the possible loss of our status as a REIT) that would result if we
are not able to comply with such requirements; (q) the ownership
limits contained in our certificate of incorporation with respect
to our capital stock in order to preserve our qualification as a
REIT, which may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our
company; (r) the risk of changes in healthcare law or regulation or
in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, particularly as applied
to REITs, that could adversely affect us or our tenants, managers
or borrowers; (s) increases in our borrowing costs as a result of
becoming more leveraged, including in connection with acquisitions
or other investment activity and rising or elevated interest rates;
(t) our exposure to various operational risks, liabilities and
claims from our operating assets; (u) our dependency on a limited
number of tenants and managers for a significant portion of our
revenues and operating income; (v) our exposure to particular risks
due to our specific asset classes and operating markets, such as
adverse changes affecting our specific asset classes and the real
estate industry, the competitiveness or financial viability of
hospitals on or near the campuses where our outpatient medical
