Investment Strategy

Utilizing our significant experience in investing and managing healthcare real estate, Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. seeks to acquire quality properties that generate sustainable long-term growth in operating cash flow to pay regular cash distributions, currently at 7.25% per annum.* As such, we are focused on fostering strategic relationships with key healthcare providers.

The types of properties we look to acquire include:

Medical office buildings
Surgery Centers
Specialty/diagnostic buildings
Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTAC’s)
Acute Care Hospitals
Hospital-Occupied, Non-Clinical Assets

Our objectives are:

To acquire quality properties that generate sustainable growth in cash flow from operations to pay regular cash distributions;
To preserve, protect and return your capital contributions;
To realize growth in the value of our investments upon our ultimate sale of such investments; and
To be prudent, patient and deliberate, taking into account the current real estate market

*The REIT has paid, and in the future may pay distributions, or a portion thereof, using offering proceeds or borrowed funds. For example, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we paid distributions of $54,159,000 ($27,493,000 in cash and $26,666,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP), as compared to cash flow from operations of $15,968,000. In addition, distributions in excess of taxable income have resulted in a return of capital, which lowers a stockholder’s tax basis in our shares.
