Healthcare Market Overview 7 x Medical office fundamentals remain healthy . x Medical office remains an attractive sector with stable cap rates, minimal direct government reimbursement exposure and growing demand from tenants and investors . x Senior housing is expecting some growth in supply, however, acceleration in aging demographics should provide a strong tailwind to this segment along with all other Healthcare REIT sectors . x We remain cautious on skilled nursing facilities as many operators are facing difficulties with government reimbursements . x HTI continues to focus on local markets where supply/demand fundamentals are attractive .

Important Information Risk Factors For a discussion of the risks which should be considered in connection with our company, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on March 14 , 2019 . Forward - Looking Statements This presentation may contain forward - looking statements . You can identify forward - looking statements by the use of forward looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases . Please review the end of this presentation and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q for a more complete list of risk factors, as well as a discussion of forward - looking statements . 12
Risk Factors Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section titled “Item 1 A . Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2018 and updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q from time to time . The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward looking statements : • Certain of our executive officers and directors are also officers, managers, employees or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in Healthcare Trust Advisors, LLC (our "Advisor") and other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global"), the parent of our sponsor . As a result, certain of our executive officers and directors, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor's compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by affiliates of AR Global and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us . These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us . • Due to a dispute with the developer, we have funded excess development costs at our development property in Jupiter, Florida and have not yet received any rental income from the property . There can be no assurance as to when we will begin to generate cash from this investment, if at all . • Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other investment programs advised by affiliates of AR Global, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders . • Although we intend to seek a listing of our shares of common stock on a national stock exchange when we believe market conditions are favorable to do so, there is no assurance that our shares of common stock will be listed . No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid . • We focus on acquiring and owning a diversified portfolio of healthcare - related assets located in the United States and are subject to risks inherent in concentrating investments in the healthcare industry . • If our Advisor loses or is unable to obtain qualified personnel, our ability to continue to achieve our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered . • 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 tenants to make lease payments to us . • We are depending on our Advisor to select investments and conduct our operations . Adverse changes in the financial condition of our Advisor and its affiliates or our relationship with our Advisor could adversely affect us . • We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates . 13
Risk Factors (Continued) • Our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants, as well as our ability to collect rent from defaulting tenants, which has and may continue to adversely impact our results of operations, and replace them with new tenants, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis, or at all . • We may not be able to achieve our rental rate objectives on new and renewal leases and our expenses could be greater than we anticipate, which may impact our results of operations . • Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions . • Provisions in our revolving credit facility (our "Revolving Credit Facility") and the related term loan facility (our "Term Loan"), which together comprise our senior secured credit facility (our "New Credit Facility"), currently restrict us from increasing the rate we pay distributions to our stockholders, and contains other restrictions that limit our ability to pay distributions in the future . There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue paying distributions at the current rate, or at all . • We have not generated, and in the future may not generate, operating cash flows sufficient to fund all of the distributions we pay to our stockholders, and, as such, we may be forced to fund distributions from other sources, including borrowings, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all . • Any distributions, especially those not covered by our cash flows from operations, may reduce the amount of capital available for other purposes, including investment in properties and other permitted investments and may negatively impact the value of our stockholders' investment . • We are subject to risks associated with any dislocations or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in the credit markets of the United States from time to time . • We are subject to risks associated with changes in general economic, business and political conditions including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes in conditions of United States or international lending, capital and financing markets . • We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for U . S . federal income tax purposes ("REIT"), which would result in higher taxes, may adversely affect our operations and would reduce the value of an investment in our common stock and the cash available for distributions . • The offering price and repurchase price for our shares under our distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") and our share repurchase program (as amended, the "SRP") may not, among other things, accurately reflect the value of our assets and may not represent what a stockholder may receive on a sale of the shares, what they may receive upon a liquidation of our assets and distribution of the net proceeds or what a third party may pay to acquire us . 14

Exhibit 99.2
Operator’s Opening Script:
Welcome to the First Quarter 2019 Healthcare Trust, Inc. webcast. All participants will be in listen-only mode.
Please note, this event is being recorded. Also note that certain statements and assumptions in this webcast presentation which are not historical facts will be forward-looking and are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward looking statements are subject to certain assumptions and risk factors which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We refer all of you to our SEC filings including the Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 14, 2019 and all other filings with the SEC after that date for a more detailed discussion of the risk factors that could cause these differences.
Also during today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures of Global Net Lease, Inc., or GNL, and Healthcare Trust, Inc., or HTI. Both REITs are advised by affiliates with our advisor and also make filings with the SEC. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The performance of these other entities should also not be used to predict the performance or business plan of HTI. Each company has provided a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as part of the most recent earnings release for GNL (available on GNL’s website at www.globalnetlease.com) and part of the 1st quarter 2019 investor presentation for HTI (available on HTI’s website at www.healthcaretrustinc.com).
You may submit questions during today’s webcast by typing them in the box in the lower right of the screen and a member of our investor relations group will follow-up to answer questions directly after the presentation. Also, please note that later today a copy of the presentation and replay of this webcast will be available on the company’s website at www.healthcaretrustinc.com.
I would now like to turn the call over to Michael Weil, Chief Executive Officer of AR Global. Please go ahead.
Opening Script
Hello everyone, this is Mike Weil, CEO of AR Global and Healthcare Trust, Inc. I would like to review a few updates about the AR Global platform before going through the 1st quarter webinar materials for Healthcare Trust, Inc.
AR Global now manages two non-traded REITs and two publicly traded REITs, as we recently completed the planned liquidation process for Healthcare Trust III, Inc. Regarding Healthcare III, the second and final distribution of $2.29 per share was issued to shareholders on March 7, 2019. For our two operating non-traded REITs, New York City REIT and Healthcare Trust, Inc., we remain focused on readying each company for an eventual full-cycle liquidity event. Key initiatives for these REITs include executing upon additional lease-up opportunities to drive occupancy and earnings, to actively manage the capital structure through select financing transactions, and deploying all available capital to grow these portfolios.
American Finance Trust, one of our publicly traded REITs, listed its shares on the Nasdaq in July 2018. 100% of AFIN’s outstanding shares are now freely tradeable, as the final 25% of those outstanding shares became tradeable in January 2019. AFIN’s $3.6 billion portfolio consists of single-tenant and multi-tenant properties in the U.S. with a high concentration of service-retail assets. At the end of the first quarter, the company has expanded to 682 properties with an overall portfolio occupancy of nearly 94% and an average contractual rent growth of 1.3% per year. The weighted-average remaining lease term for the portfolio at the end of the year was 8.8 years.
Global Net lease, or GNL, is our other publicly traded REIT, and the REIT saw first quarter revenue increase 11% year-over-year to $75 million and first quarter AFFO increased year-over-year to $40 million. GNL finished the quarter very strong as the company closed on $35 million of properties and capital expenditures in the first quarter, at an average cap rate of 7.7% with 9.3 years weighted-average lease term. GNL continues to see buying opportunities in the market as it maintains a robust pipeline of high quality net-lease assets leased long-term to creditworthy tenants. GNL continues to have success in the capital markets, and it recently issued a gross amount of $153 million of additional common equity in January of 2019. Net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Consistent with our intention to use these proceeds to fund acquisitions, we have and will continue to re-borrow portions of the amounts repaid under the Revolving Credit Facility as funding is needed.
The majority of HTI’s Net Operating Income is generated by two key segments, Medical Office Buildings and Senior Housing Operating Properties, and these segments account for over 90% of the REIT’s NOI. HTI plans to continue to identify and acquire new quality medical properties, while focusing on organic NOI growth within the existing portfolio through the implementation of new property operators and other asset management initiatives.
New York City REIT continues to improve occupancy at 9 Times Square and 123 William Street through its comprehensive lease-up plan. First Quarter 2019 occupancy for NYCR’s entire portfolio was 94.6%, an increase of approximately 7% from 88.0% at the end of the first quarter 2018. We believe this positive leasing momentum will lead to improved earnings for the REIT by increasing revenue from tenants and NOI. We will continue to monitor opportunities for a potential liquidity event as the portfolio continues on its upward trajectory.
I would like to thank you for joining us on today’s call, and now we will begin today’s presentation.

Healthcare Trust Inc. owns $2.6 billion of healthcare real estate focused on two strong and healthy sectors – Medical Office (“MOB”) and Seniors Housing Operating Properties (“SHOP”). These two segments represent over 90% of HTI’s net operating income. Medical Office continues to be a consistent performer within the HTI portfolio, with predictable and stable rent along with contractual rent increases.
The Company’s SHOP portfolio continues to benefit from operating improvements resulting from the addition of John Rimbach and his team as they actively manage the senior housing portfolio. John brings strong expertise in senior housing management, which he has built over a successful 30-year career and an experienced operating team with him to our advisor. The team is actively transitioning some properties to new operators in order to simplify asset management and drive incremental earnings. Additionally, John will take the lead on the acquisition of new SHOP properties while also identifying select disposition opportunities within this segment of HTI’s portfolio.
Management is committed to proactive asset management and continues to drive improvement in the portfolio through incremental leasing, which includes new leases and the extension and expansion of existing leases, replacement of underperforming operators, and select property acquisitions and dispositions. HTI successfully closed on $30 million of new acquisitions during the first quarter, consisting of three multi-tenant, triple net leased medical office buildings with long-term leases, further improving HTI’s overall portfolio.
Slide 3: Portfolio Snapshot - (Mike Weil)
As of March 31, 2019, HTI owned a $2.6 billion, 189 property U.S. healthcare portfolio with approximately 9.0 million square feet. The portfolio consists of 109 medical office buildings, 58 senior housing operating properties, 4 triple net leased senior housing properties, 9 post-acute and skilled nursing facilities, 6 hospitals, 2 land parcels and 1 development property.
The medical office buildings were 91.1% occupied with a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.2 years. The senior housing operating properties were 84.4% occupied and the senior housing triple-net leased properties were 100% occupied with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.8 years. The post-acute/skilled nursing properties were 100% leased at quarter-end with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.1 years and the hospitals were 90.7% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.8 years.
We are very pleased with HTI’s portfolio mix, with a significant focus on two strong and healthy sectors: Medical Office and SHOP. As we grow the portfolio, we plan to continue emphasizing these property types within our acquisition strategy.
I would now like to turn the call over to Katie Kurtz, HTI’s Chief Financial Officer.
Slide 4: Credit Facility Recast – (Katie Kurtz)
Thank you, Mike. I would like to highlight the successful completion of the refinancing of HTI’s credit facility. On March 13, 2019, HTI successfully closed on the recast of the corporate credit facility which upsized the total commitments under the credit facility from $565 million to $630 million, representing a $65 million increase. Additionally, the new facility provides a new 5-year term through 2024, if the Company elects its one-year extension option on the revolving portion of the credit facility. Closing on this upsized credit facility with favorable terms illustrates the Company’s ability to effectively manage HTI’s balance sheet and capital structure.
Slide 5: Capital Structure Overview – (Katie Kurtz)
Turning the page, Slide 5 provides a snapshot of HTI’s capital structure at the end of the first quarter 2019. As you can see here, our total debt outstanding was $1.1 billion with a net debt position of $991 million. With real estate assets of approximately $2.6 billion, our net debt to real estate assets ratio was 38.5%.
As of March 31, 2019, HTI’s New Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $234 million. The weighted-average interest rate for the Credit Facilities at the end of the first quarter 2019 was approximately 4.8%. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $462 million in secured mortgage debt. We continue to seek to improve the Company’s capital structure by extending HTI’s debt maturity profile, and locking in long-term attractive financing rates.
I would now like to turn the call back to Mike for some discussion about HTI’s Corporate Initiatives.
Slide 6: Corporate Initiatives – (Mike Weil)
Thanks Katie. The Company has identified, and continues to pursue, the following key initiatives:
1. | HTI will continue to focus on the most attractive sectors in healthcare, particularly medical office and senior housing operating properties, and is actively pursuing acquisitions in these spaces. |
2. | HTI will seek to actively manage assets for optimal profitability, including incremental leasing of vacant space, transitioning select triple-net senior housing properties to a senior housing operating structure, extending current leases, and replacing underperforming managers and tenants for improved earnings and value, and |
3. | HTI will remain committed to maintaining its strong balance sheet. The company has a conservative leverage profile to support its real estate portfolio. As Katie mentioned, net leverage remains under 40%, and the recently closed $630 million refinanced credit facility provides additional liquidity and flexibility. |
Slide 7: Healthcare Market Overview - (Mike Weil)
As it relates to continued investment in the sector, in our view, the healthcare real estate market remains healthy. Medical office fundamentals have remained strong, and this asset class continues to be a central piece of the HTI portfolio.
Investor demand for senior housing properties remains strong and cap rates have remained relatively stable, and in a similar range to the medical office buildings. Accelerated aging demographics should provide a positive tailwind for this segment.
We do remain cautious on skilled-nursing facilities and we are more oriented towards selective dispositions for this asset type.
Our acquisition strategy continues to focus on the quality healthcare sectors of MOBs and senior housing operating properties, along with the acquisition of select triple-net properties.
Slide 8: Organizational Leadership – (Mike Weil)
Our management team has significant experience both in the industry and with AR Global sponsored programs, including previous healthcare offerings on the AR Global platform. We are confident we have the right team in place to execute our strategy to drive long-term value for HTI shareholders.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Katie to walk us through the Share Repurchase Program in more detail and then I will follow up with some closing remarks.
Slide 9: Supplemental Information – (Katie Kurtz)
Please turn to slide 9 entitled ‘Supplemental Information’
The most recent redemption cycle commenced on March 13, 2018 and went up to and through December 31, 2018. On March 27, 2019, the Company announced that the Board approved an amendment to the SRP extending the date on which any repurchases are to be made in respect of requests made during this period to no later than April 30, 2019. This SRP amendment became effective on March 28, 2019. The Company completed the repurchases in April 2019.
As a reminder, HTI’s SRP allows the company to process only those share repurchase requests submitted in connection with a shareholder’s death or qualifying disability. SRP requests are processed following the end of each six-month period ending on June 30th and December 31st of each year. Repurchases are processed and paid in the timeframes identified by the board subsequent to these periods in an amount equal to the estimated per share net asset value or NAV in effect on the last day of the fiscal semester, or the six-month period ending June 30 or December 31.
