Overview

Seeking to Deliver Yield and Stable Long-Term Growth in Healthcare Real Estate through Self-Management

We are Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a self-managed, existing, active and public, non-listed real estate investment trust, or REIT. We own a select real estate portfolio that is poised to benefit from fast-growing, non-discretionary consumer demand for healthcare. We have a proven management team with over 80 years combined experience. In 2009, we raised over approximately $633 Million and our total equity raise to date is $1.37 Billion. We have acquired 51 investments and two other real estate-related assets located in 21 states valued at 1.46 Billion based on purchase price. We have 7.4 million square feet under management and are continuously seeking new opportunities to expand our portfolio in markets with strong demographic growth, where there is potential future job growth and locations associated with high-quality health care systems.

Our attractive medical office building provides a focused asset mix for investors. In general medical office buildings and are a less risky sector to invest due to the healthcare sector being a more defensive sector. According the Healthcare Real Estate Insights “Many industry professionals are predicting an uptick in medical office sales as the economy stabilizes and certain investors look for the safe sectors in which to place their money. These same professionals also foresee an increase – perhaps later in 2010 or beyond – in demand for outpatient development as hospitals regain their bearings and focus once again on their business strategies”. 1

HTA’s. business model includes a compelling growth strategy by being patient and prudent, while still taking advantage of superior buying opportunities due to our strong balance sheet. Additionally, given the current situation with heath care reform, we see many investment opportunities as more and more people become insured, the need for medical office space will only increase. We believe HTA is well-positioned to take advantage of such market conditions and continue 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 initial offering and subsequent follow-on offering.

We previously announced our decision to transition to self-management. 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 & 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.

* We have 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. The distributions paid in excess of our cash flow from operations were paid using proceeds from our initial offering. 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.
