Risk Factors
Certain statements made in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which reflect the expectations of the Company regarding future events. The forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, market and other expectations, objectives, and intentions, as well as any other statements that are not historical facts.
Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section titled “Item 1A-Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed on March 15, 2024, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on March 22, 2024, and all other filings with the SEC after that date. We disclaim any obligation to update and revise statements contained in these materials to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties relating to us, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
- Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general.
- Our property portfolio has a high concentration of properties located in Florida and Pennsylvania. Our properties may be adversely affected by economic cycles and risks inherent to those states.
- We have not paid our distributions on our common stock in cash since 2020, and there can be no assurance we will pay distributions on our common stock in cash in the future.
- Inflation will have an adverse effect on our investments and results of operations.
- The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
- If a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.
- We assume additional operating risks and are subject to additional regulation and liability because we depend on eligible independent contractors to manage some of our facilities.
- Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of co-venturers and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
- We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire.
- Our level of indebtedness may increase our business risks.
- Our financing arrangements have restrictive covenants, which may limit our ability to pursue strategic alternatives and react to changes in our business and industry or pay dividends.
- We depend on our Advisor and Property Manager to provide us with executive officers, key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations and our operating performance may be impacted by any adverse changes in the financial health or reputation of our Advisor and Property Manager.
- All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our Advisor and Property Manager face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in entities related to AR Global, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy.
- We may terminate our advisory agreement in only limited circumstances, which may require payment of a termination fee.
- The Estimated Per-Share NAV of our common stock is based upon subjective judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events, and may not reflect the amount that our stockholders might receive for their shares.
- Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired and may discourage a third-party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
- The share ownership restrictions for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in shares of our stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.
- Our failure to remain qualified as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax and potentially state and local tax.
- Complying with REIT requirements may force us to forgo or liquidate otherwise attractive investment opportunities.
