Financial Performance Measures

As further described and defined in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, the following is an unranked list of financial performance measures that we consider most important in linking the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs for 2022 with our performance.

● Diluted FFO, excluding non-recurring items, per share

● Diluted FAD, excluding non-recurring items, per share

● Adjusted FAD per share

● Return on Equity

● Cumulative TSR

In addition to the financial performance measures listed above, we view our stock price, upon which the value of all of our long-term incentive awards is dependent, as a key performance-based component of our executive compensation program in order to further align the interests of our senior management team with the interests of our stockholders.
