Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust. Since its formation in 2006, HTA has built a portfolio of acquisitions that totals approximately $2.4 billion based on purchase price and is comprised of 11.4 million square feet of GLA.  HTA’s portfolio is geographically diverse, with property portfolios located in 26 states.  With overall portfolio occupancy of 91%, over half of HTA’s current annualized base rent is derived from credit tenants. Ninety-six percent of HTA’s portfolio is strategically located on-campus or aligned with recognized healthcare systems.

As a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed REIT, our internal management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and outside service providers. Acquisitions and asset management services are performed in-house by our employees, with certain monitored services provided by third parties at market rates.

HTA provides stockholders the potential for income and growth through investment in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties. We focus primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. We also invest to a limited extent in other real estate-related assets. However, we do not presently intend to invest more than 15.0% of our total assets in such other real estate-related assets. We focus primarily on investments that produce recurring income.

HTA’s business model includes a compelling growth strategy by being patient and prudent, while still taking advantage of buying opportunities due to our strong balance sheet. Additionally, we believe that the recently enacted heath care reform law and regulatory changes will provide investment opportunities as more and more people become insured, and the need for medical office space increases. We believe HTA is well-positioned to take advantage of such market conditions and continues to seek out high quality health care facilities on or close to hospital campuses. Our current portfolio is strategically positioned in key metropolitan markets such as Atlanta, GA, Phoenix, AZ, Indianapolis, IN, Greenville, SC, and both Dallas and Houston, TX.

HTA’s strong sector fundamentals are driven by growing our portfolio in non-discretionary areas with high consumer demand and projected increases in annual growth. Our strategy is to continue investing in a diversified portfolio of medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities with the proceeds from our operating cash flows, the proceeds from debt and the net proceeds from our offerings. We stopped offering shares of our common stock in our follow on offering on February 28,2011. We continue to offer shares pursuant to our DRIP.

We have fully transitioned to self management, significantly reducing our cost structure. As a non-listed REIT, we believe we are unique in this respect. We did so because we believe this operating model offers our investors the opportunity for immediate creation of stockholder value through a substantially lower cost structure. Our seasoned management team has a proven track record of performance and established relationships with hospitals and other major healthcare entities. Leveraging this expertise in an environment without the conflicts associated with an external advisor, we believe this performance-driven model will enable us to achieve immediate cost savings, resulting in enhanced operating income that we can pass on to our stockholders.
