Amendment to Share Repurchase Program

On March 26, 2019, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s existing share repurchase program (the “SRP”) changing the date on which repurchases are to be made in respect of requests made during the period commencing March 13, 2018 up to and including December 31, 2018 to no later than April 30, 2019, rather than on or before March 31, 2019. This SRP amendment will become effective on March 28, 2019.

All other terms of the SRP remain in effect, including that repurchases pursuant to the SRP are at the sole discretion of the Board. The foregoing summary of the SRP amendment is qualified by the text of the SRP amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the notice with respect to the SRP amendment provided to each stockholder who participated in the SRP during the period commencing March 13, 2018 up to and including December 31, 2018 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
