News Release: MedProperties, Capital Security Advisors form JV with DOC REIT to acquire Delaware property

MedProperties, Physicians Realty Trust and Capital Security Advisors all have an equity interest in the Class A, 140,205 square foot, multi-tenant Eden Hills Medical Center in Dover, Del.

The Class A, 140,205 square foot Eden Hill Medical Center is located on a 23-acre site in Dover, Del., that will provide future development opportunities.

DOVER, Del., and DALLAS, Jan. 8, 2020 MedProperties Realty Advisors, LLC announced that it has formed a joint venture (JV) with Capital Security Advisors and Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) to acquire its first healthcare property in Delaware – the 140,205 square foot, multi-tenant Eden Hill Medical Center in Dover. The acquisition closed on October 31.

The Class A, three-story facility at 200 Banning St. is less than a mile from Bayhealth Kent General Hospital, part of the region’s leading healthcare system. The medical office building (MOB) is 94 percent leased to a diverse roster of 23 tenants representing Dover’s leading physician practices that include gynecology, urology, and cardiology, including some practices affiliated with Bayhealth.  The MOB also includes a very successful, 24,000 square foot surgery center.

The seller of the property was Eden Hill Medical Center,  LLC, which was formed by some of the physician group tenants that originally developed the building in 2008 as part of a 23-acre master planned site that is owned by an affiliated entity. To date, the only other facility developed on the site is a rehabilitation/skilled nursing facility.

Darryl Freling, Managing Principal of MedProperties Realty Advisors, a national healthcare real estate private equity firm headquartered in Dallas, says MedProperties executives are pleased with their first acquisition in Delaware, which now gives the firm investments in 24 states.

“We acquired the MOB on an off-market basis after being introduced to the investment opportunity by Dennis Irvin, the CEO of Capital Security Advisors who had a relationship with the seller. The MOB checked every box for us. The project is a Class A, institutional facility with a long, weighted average lease term from the area’s leading practice groups as well as tenants affiliated with the area’s leading hospital system, and has been over 90% leased since it was developed in 2008.  The MOB includes a very successful surgery center, and Delaware is a CON state.” says Mr. Freling.

Capital Security Advisors, a Boston-based investment management and advisory firm focused on infrastructure and real estate, brought the deal to MedProperties and holds an equity position in the JV.

“Capital Security Advisors had an agreement in principle with the seller to purchase the property, but we needed a partner with capital and healthcare real estate experience,” explains Dennis Irvin, Principal of the firm. “We didn’t know MedProperties, but they were recommended to us, so we introduced them to the project. We are now very pleased with our successful partnership with MedProperties as well as DOC REIT.”

Mr. Freling noted that MedProperties is the majority owner and manager of the JV, and DOC committed to a 49 percent equity stake in the project.

“We invest better and grow through our relationships” says John Thomas, President and CEO of Physicians Realty Trust, a Milwaukee-based self-managed healthcare real estate investment trust that acquires, owns and manages healthcare properties. “Eden Hill Medical Center is an outstanding example of the future of healthcare delivery, with a healthcare ecosystem anchored by an ambulatory surgery center and opportunity for future growth.  We appreciate the MedProperties team for inviting us to participate in the Eden Hill Investment.”

 “This transaction required months of legal work to revise and amend aspects of the original, 23-acre master plan” Mr. Freling continues. “We had to make a number of changes, including breaking out the MOB with a separate tax ID, and creating a REA that will govern all of the parcels within the master plan”.

“We also negotiated rights of first refusal on the remaining, undeveloped parcels within the 23-acre property. We’ve been building close relationships with the landowner, tenants and other local healthcare providers, so we’re excited to work with them on potential future development opportunities on the site.”

Debt for the acquisition was provided by Capital One, with a participation by Siemens Financial Services.

News Release: Anchor Health Properties Continues Expansion in Atlanta and Seattle MSAs with Off Market Acquisitions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 7th, 2020

(Media, PA) Anchor Health Properties (Anchor) a national full service healthcare real estate development, management, and investment company focused exclusively on medical facilities, has recently invested in two Class A medical office buildings in separate off market transactions across two of the firm’s targeted growth markets.

The Peachtree Professional Center, located in the heart of the high-growth Peachtree City, Georgia submarket south of the Atlanta airport, is a key driver of outpatient services to the local community. Peachtree City is one of the largest master planned communities in the United States. Originally designed in the 1950s, Peachtree City now extends over 100 square miles and houses an affluent population of nearly 50,000 people, including a significant population of retirees. The two story, 45,000 square foot Peachtree Professional Center was built in 2011 featuring ownership by several key physician practices of complementary specialties and is currently anchored by Piedmont Healthcare. The facility features a modern brick and glass façade, and is located on State Highway 54 West, which bifurcates the Peachtree City community.

The Edmonds Medical Center is located adjacent to the Swedish Health Edmonds Hospital Campus in the northern Seattle submarket of Edmonds, Washington. The 32,000 square foot, two story best in class building was originally built in 2012 for local physicians and was later leased by The Everett Clinic, a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group (Moody’s A3). The building houses a CON governed ambulatory surgery center and imaging suite. The Edmonds submarket features a highly affluent population and a high concentration of 65+ residents who drive a need for health services in the community.

Anchor acquired the Peachtree Professional Center on behalf of its co-managed Chestnut Healthcare Fund I. Several previous physician owners have also remained in the building ownership post-closing. Anchor sourced the Edmonds Medical Center and closed it with a repeat institutional capital partner. Anchor will manage and lease both buildings going forward. Anchor now manages and leases more than 6,000,000 square feet of medical office space across the US. Anchor is looking to add to its current property management team in each market with new hires in the coming weeks.

Anchor’s Chief Executive Officer Ben Ochs stated, “We are extremely excited about these particular acquisitions. Both the Atlanta and Seattle markets continue to have strong demand for healthcare services along with growing populations, and we continue to find prime assets with potential for us to create value by positioning the buildings as high-quality institutional medical office facilities specifically for healthcare tenants. The prominent locations and high-growth areas have already attracted best-in-class medical providers, including Piedmont Healthcare and The Everett Clinic/UnitedHealth Group, as well as top regional medical tenants, and we are looking forward to partnering with them in providing high quality care to the surrounding communities.”

“Atlanta and Seattle are among the highest growth markets for Anchor’s investment and management platforms across the United States,” noted James Schmid, Chief Investment Officer with Anchor. “The acquisition of these two best in class assets at attractive valuations adds to the overall quality of the Anchor investment portfolio. Throughout 2019, Anchor was able to differentiate itself in the investment market through its access to creative off market acquisitions driven by the firm’s local market relationships. We expect these efforts to continue to bear fruit in the years ahead.”

Synovus Financial Corporation provided debt financing on the Peachtree Professional Center transaction. The Seller of the Peachtree Professional Center was an affiliate of South-Tree Enterprises and Quantum Commercial Real Estate.

Steve Perovich, Paul Carr, and Marcus Yamamoto of CBRE’s Seattle office advised on the Edmonds Medical Center transaction. The Seller of the Edmonds Medical Center was an affiliate of First Western Development Services. The Edmunds Medical Center closed without secured debt financing.

About Anchor Health Properties

Anchor Health Properties is a national, full service healthcare real estate development, management, leasing, and investment serving investors and health systems. Anchor takes a strategic approach to navigating the extremely competitive healthcare marketplace, considering multiple angles, such as retail drivers, customer experience, branding and efficiency of the project. We develop and manage projects across the United States that respond to the new landscape of employed physicians, team-based care, the need to optimize assets and reduce duplication, and the integration of care and technology. Anchor manages and leases roughly six million square feet of medical office space, inclusive of numerous projects under construction. Anchor maintains ten offices nationally and features more than 60 professionals in its ranks. Over the past five years, Anchor principals have acquired and/or developed over $3 billion of medical real estate across the country. Healthcare today calls not only for new and more efficient ways of delivering outpatient services, but also a different kind of healthcare development and management company.

Feature Story: How to find MOB opportunities in a crowded market

Panelists at GlobeSt. conference say pinpointing a strategy is the key

By John B. Mugford

The “Notable Deals & Investment Strategies for 2020 and Beyond” panel discussion featured (from left to right): moderator John Chang of Marcus & Millichap, Jason Signor of  Caddis, Darryl Freling of MedProperties Realty Advisors and Caroline Chiodo of HTA. (HREI photo)

It has become obvious that investors of all types and sizes are keenly aware of the potential upsides of investing in healthcare real estate (HRE) — medical office buildings (MOBs) in particular.

And yet, at a time when investment yields, or capitalization (cap) rates, for MOB acquisitions and developments have been at historic lows in recent years — falling even further in 2019 — competition remains rabid for the product type, making it a difficult market to enter.

In addition, the healthcare industry itself is in a state of flux, making investing in the space more complicated than ever.

“The business model for the delivery of healthcare is changing,” said Jason Signor, CEO and partner of Dallas-based HRE firm Caddis. “So, underwriting the healthcare side of this, the tenant side of this, with an everchanging delivery model … providers are making less money while construction costs are going up and, therefore, rents are going up. The underwriting part can be very treacherous. The sector still provides great opportunity, but it is difficult to implement and execute.”

“Look, just because an asset class may be recession proof and have great demographic drivers doesn’t mean it’s without risks. Healthcare real estate has its own risks. Our tenants are healthcare providers and as a real estate investor … we have to ask, ‘Can our tenants pay their rent today, and tomorrow? The tomorrow part is the hard part.’”

Mr. Signor was part of a panel session titled “Notable Deals & Investment Strategies for 2020 and Beyond” at the annual GlobeSt. Healthcare Real Estate (HRE) Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.,  Dec. 3-4.

The panel, titled “Notable Deals & Investment Strategies for 2020 and Beyond,” was moderated by John Chang, senior VP of Research Services with Marcus & Millichap Inc. (NYSE: MMI). The other panelists were: Darryl E. Freling, managing principal with MedProperties Realty Advisors; and Caroline Chiodo, senior VP of acquisitions with Healthcare Trust of America (NYSE: HTA), a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT).

“When we initially purchased the Metrocenter office buildings in 2014, they were under-preforming at 55% occupancy, but offered unrealized potential in terms of location and quality,” said Grover Corlew Partner Mark Corlew. “With key upgrades and strong management direction we transformed these buildings into an attractive asset for the right investor. Cushman & Wakefield’s market knowledge and highly professional marketing efforts ultimately connected us with that investor, allowing us to meet our goals.”

“Fully leased, 2440–2478 Metrocentre Boulevard provides a contractually stable and secure investment via long-term leases with limited rollover exposure, which was especially attractive to a number of 1031 and offshore investors,” said Miller. “2500 Metrocentre offers tremendous upside via the lease-up of existing vacancies.”

Metrocentre Corporate Park is ideally located in close proximity to the Interstate 95 interchange at 45th St. in central Palm Beach County. The park is one of the few premier, master-planned business campuses in West Palm Beach, offering excellent access to all of Palm Beach County and a full range of nearby amenities.

Metrocentre Corporate Park boasts a roster of long-standing medical and professional tenants with an average duration of occupancy of eight years. The hospital systems and the extensive roster of existing medical tenants in this corridor serve as a great source of potential tenancy, providing the opportunity to target and attract more medical tenants.

“True value-add office opportunities are rare, and with limited capital infusion required, Metrocentre Corporate Park is well positioned for medical and professional tenants preferring the immediate access to I-95 or the nearby JFK Medical Center,” said O’Donnell.

News Release: Norvin Healthcare acquires trophy Philadelphia medical office building from Liberty Property Trust

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The 96,000-square-foot, 100-percent-occupied outpatient healthcare facility in the fast-growing Navy Yard is part of the firm’s strategy to continue its expansion on the East Coast

PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2020 Norvin Healthcare Properties announced that as part of its expansion strategy throughout the East Coast, it has acquired 3 Crescent Drive, a 96,000-square-foot, 100-percent-occupied outpatient medical building leased to Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Inc. (Jefferson Health). The property is located at the gateway to the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Norm Livingston, Norvin’s President, said the off-market acquisition of this “trophy” asset was the culmination of more than a year of work.

“We approached Liberty upon hearing of their plans to divest of all non-industrial assets in their portfolio. We knew they had a few interesting medical assets and we were able to secure a contract for 3 Crescent Drive.” He adds, “Norvin’s healthcare portfolio is largely leased to strong-credit, non-profit health systems, including NYU, Mt Sinai, Methodist Health System, MD Anderson, UT Health, LifeBridge, CHI and many others. We are delighted to add Jefferson Health to this prestigious list of healthcare tenants.”

Mr. Livingston noted that 3 Crescent Drive is a high-quality, Class A, mission-critical medical facility that has earned coveted Leadership in Energy and Environment Design® (LEED) Gold Certification.

Steve Rooney, Norvin Senior Director of Acquisitions, said the newly acquired property is ideally located in the fast-growing Navy Yard, a 1,200-plus-acre campus with 6.3 miles of waterfront and 165 businesses employing more than 13,500 people. The Navy Yard has become a real magnet for businesses with a critical mass of life science companies operating in the master development which will soon include a large-scale residential component and additional hospitality and retail outlets. The 3 Crescent Drive site is positioned at the gateway to the Navy Yard, is highly visible from U.S. Interstate 95 and Broad Street, and lies just across the highway from the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, home to all of Philadelphia’s professional sports teams.

Mr. Rooney said another benefit of the acquisition is the quality of the tenancy.

“The property is anchored by Jefferson Health, an investment grade health system and one of the two leading healthcare providers in the Philadelphia area. The balance of the property is occupied by Jefferson Health Surgical Center, a joint venture including Jefferson Health, The Rothman Institute and Nueterra Healthcare. This type of facility represents the future of healthcare, serving patients in South Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.”

He added, “The quality of the tenancy and the long lease term should provide a strong, reliable stream of cash flow for our investors for years to come.”

Mr. Livingston said the asset will be added to the Norvin Core Plus Fund, which targets healthcare properties leased to credit tenants with long-term leases.

“The 3 Crescent Drive acquisition is a perfect fit for the Norvin Core Plus Fund,” says Mr. Livingston. “We’re very pleased with this acquisition and look forward to acquiring similar assets as we expand our portfolio in Philadelphia and throughout the East Coast.”

Feature Story: HRE firms remain optimistic about 2020

61.5% of HREI’s editorial board foresee their business increasing 10% or more

HREI Editorial Advisory Board members discussed the outlook for 2020 during their meeting in November. (HREI photo)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As we head into 2020, some of the top executives in the healthcare real estate (HRE) space are quite optimistic about how their business will fare in the new year.

Perhaps they are not expecting 2020 to be quite as successful as 2019, but they’re still quite bullish about their prospects for the year ahead.

The executives who responded to the survey are members of the Healthcare Real Estate Insights Editorial Advisory Board (EAB). They gathered in Nashville in early November for the annual HREI EAB meeting consisting of a daylong discussion about the current and future state of the HRE sector.

As part of the meeting, the 26 board members in attendance were asked to respond anonymously to a survey asking them how their businesses performed in 2019 and how they expect them to fare in 2020.

Their responses can be considered a good barometer of the overall prospects for the year ahead because the EAB comprises high-ranking executives with many of the HRE sector’s top brokerage firms, developers, investors and owners, health systems, advisors, and other firms involved in the space.

As they have for a number of years, EAB members were quite optimistic about their companies’ business prospects for the coming year, with 17 of the 26 responding, or 65 percent, saying they foresee an increase in business for their organizations in 2020.

Half of the EAB members said they anticipate growth of more than 10 percent in the year ahead. Although that’s an optimistic view, it is less than the percentage of board members – 61.5 percent — whose companies experienced that level of growth in 2019.

That’s because 16 of the 26 EAB members, or 61.5 percent, report that their businesses saw increases of 10 percent or more in 2019.

On the other side of optimism, just two of the 26 board members responding said they foresee decreases in their businesses in the year ahead.

Seven respondents, or 28 percent, said they foresee their businesses staying about the same in 2020.

Why the optimism for 2020?

News Release: Senior Housing Properties Trust Announces a Name Change to Diversified Healthcare Trust

December 30, 2019

Company Common Shares to Trade Under the Ticker “DHC” Beginning January 2, 2020

NEWTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Senior Housing Properties Trust (Nasdaq: SNH), today announced that it will change its name to “Diversified Healthcare Trust” effective January 1, 2020 at 12:02 a.m. SNH’s common shares will continue to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq, but under the new ticker symbol “DHC” beginning as of the opening of trading on January 2, 2020. The company’s new website will be www.dhcreit.com.

“We are excited to change our name to Diversified Healthcare Trust, which we believe more accurately depicts both our portfolio of diverse, high-quality healthcare real estate and our strategy moving forward,” said Jennifer Francis, President & Chief Operating Officer. “Over the past 10 years, we have made considerable progress in diversifying and enhancing what was once a pure-play senior living portfolio by strategically acquiring state-of-the-art life science properties and well-located medical office buildings in order to meet the broader real estate needs of the continually evolving healthcare industry.”

Rebranding to Diversified Healthcare Trust marks a key milestone in the company’s transformation, which includes the anticipated conversion of SNH’s existing triple-net leases with Five Star Senior Living Inc. (Nasdaq: FVE) into management agreements, which is expected to occur on January 1, 2020, pursuant to the transaction agreement that SNH entered into with FVE in April 2019, along with SNH’s continued investment and recycling of capital into high quality healthcare real estate, including, but not limited to, the life science and medical office property types.

Also effective January 2, 2020, SNH’s 5.625% senior notes due 2042 will no longer trade under the ticker “SNHNI” but will trade under “DHCNI”. Similarly, SNH’s 6.25% senior notes due 2046 will no longer trade under the ticker “SNHNL” but will trade under the ticker “DHCNL”.

A REAL ESTATE PLATFORM FOCUSED ON THE DIVERSE SPECTRUM OF HEALTH SERVICES

With an $8.6 billion investment portfolio, Diversified Healthcare Trust is one of the leading owners of real estate focused on healthcare and life sciences located throughout the United States. DHC seeks to acquire and own properties that take strategic advantage of demographic trends, investments in biological breakthroughs and the development and implementation of medical services and technologies.

DIVERSIFIED ACROSS CARE DELIVERY AND PRACTICE TYPES

From elective procedures to life-saving treatments, DHC’s properties provide a platform for healthcare delivery. Nationally renowned health systems as well as individual specialist physicians and health practitioners lease DHC’s properties which house clinics, outpatient centers, surgery centers and doctors’ offices. DHC is also poised to benefit from changing demographic trends, with a portfolio of more than 270 active adult, independent living, assisted living and memory care facilities to serve the anticipated ‘silver tsunami.’

DIVERSIFIED ACROSS RESEARCH SCIENCE DISCIPLINES

DHC’s life sciences properties include laboratory and research space, manufacturing facilities and corporate offices, and are home to forward-thinking companies delivering and supporting the development of tomorrow’s cutting-edge therapies, which cover a wide variety of ailments.

DIVERSIFIED ACROSS GEOGRAPHIES, LOCATIONS AND SETTINGS

With over 12 million square feet of lab and medical office space and more than 32,000 living units, DHC has no “typical” property or location. Properties range from multi-specialty physician offices, to more than 270 senior living communities, to multi-building life science campuses. DHC’s properties are located in both urban and suburban settings across the U.S., in 41 states and Washington, D.C.

DIVERSIFIED FINANCIAL PROFILE

The foundation of DHC’s solid financial profile includes revenue sources lacking concentration in any one property type, a well-laddered lease expiration schedule for over 600 tenants, strong tenant credit profiles and a conservative capital structure with a healthy balance sheet. The diversification of DHC’s revenue streams allows the company to produce cash flows from the entire healthcare continuum, leading to more stable and predictable returns on investments.

WARNING REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever DHC uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, DHC is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon DHC’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by DHC’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond DHC’s control. For example:

  • DHC expects that the changes in ticker symbols to “DHC” for the listing of its common shares, “DHCNI” for its 5.625% senior notes due 2042 and “DHCNL” for its 6.25% senior notes due 2046 will begin on January 2, 2020. However, effecting these changes are subject to conditions and will depend on actions of third parties. As a result, these changes could be delayed.
  • Ms. Francis states that DHC has made considerable progress in diversifying and enhancing its portfolio in order to meet the broader real estate needs of the continually evolving healthcare industry. This may imply that this progress will enable DHC to meet these needs and that DHC may make further progress that addresses the broader real estate needs as the healthcare industry continues to evolve. However, DHC’s progress may not continue to address these needs and DHC may not be able to make further progress to address any changing needs. As a result, DHC may not achieve the benefits it expects from the progress it has made in these regards.
  • DHC intends to continue to invest and recycle capital into high quality healthcare real estate, including, but not limited to, the life science and medical office property types. However, the competition for these types of investments is significant. As a result, DHC may not be able to acquire additional properties of these types in the future or it may overpay for any such acquisition. Moreover, DHC not be able to successfully recycle capital at the amounts it expects. Further, DHC may not realize the returns or benefits it expects from any additional acquisitions it may make.
  • DHC believes that it is poised to benefit from changing demographic trends. However, the demand for senior living communities, wellness centers and other medical and healthcare related properties and healthcare services may not increase, despite the aging U.S. population and increasing life spans of seniors, due to a variety factors, including improved medical advances and seniors’ electing to age in place, to delay or forego relocating, to not purchase the products and services DHC’s tenants and manager provide, or due to other changes in market demands. In addition, DHC may be unable to retain its existing tenants, attract new tenants and maintain or increase current rental rates. Further, circumstances that adversely affect the ability of seniors or their families to pay for DHC’s tenants’ and manager’s services, such as economic downturns, weak housing market conditions, higher levels of unemployment among DHC’s residents’ family members, lower levels of consumer confidence, stock market volatility and/or changes in demographics generally could affect the profitability of DHC’s senior living communities. As a result, DHC may not benefit from changing demographic trends.
  • DHC expects to complete the conversion of its existing master leases with FVE into management agreements, as of January 1, 2020. These transactions are subject to conditions, including, among others, the continued effectiveness of FVE’s registration statement on Form S-1 for the related FVE common share issuances and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. DHC cannot be sure that any or all of such conditions will be satisfied. Accordingly, these transactions may not become effective as of January 1, 2020 or at all, or the terms of such transactions may change. Further, if the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement are completed, the conversion of the master leases to management agreements will be a significant change in DHC’s arrangements with FVE and may result in DHC realizing significantly different operating results from its senior living communities, including increased variability.
  • DHC believes the foundation of its solid financial profile includes diversified revenue sources lacking concentration in any one property type, a well-laddered lease expiration schedule for over 600 tenants, high credit quality tenants and a conservative capital structure with a healthy balance sheet. Some of DHC’s tenants may not renew expiring leases, and DHC may be unable to obtain new tenants to maintain or increase the historical occupancy rates of, or rents from, its properties, its tenants may experience losses and default on their rent obligations to DHC, rents that DHC can charge at its properties may decline upon renewals or expirations because of changing market conditions or otherwise and continued availability of borrowings under its revolving credit facility is subject to DHC’s satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions that DHC may be unable to satisfy. In addition, DHC’s tenants and manager may realize deteriorating financial conditions if they cannot successfully operate their businesses or if they are adversely impacted by factors beyond their control, including deteriorating market conditions or changes in market demands. Further, DHC may not be successful in conducting its business activities in a manner that will afford it reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, which may result in DHC’s capital structuring becoming less conservative and a decline in the health of its balance sheet.
  • DHC believes the diversification of DHC’s revenue streams allows it to produce cash flows from the entire healthcare continuum, leading to more stable and predictable returns on investments.

The information contained in DHC’s filings with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in DHC’s periodic reports, or incorporated therein, identifies other important factors that could cause DHC’s actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by DHC’s forward-looking statements. DHC’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, DHC does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
