PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OMEGA ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION

AND INDENTURE AMENDMENTS FOR 7% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2014

HUNT VALLEY, MARYLAND – November 23, 2010 – Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) announced today the successful completion of its consent solicitation with respect to its outstanding $310 million principal amount of 7% Senior Notes due 2014, or the 2014 Notes.

On November 8, 2010, Omega commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of the 2014 Notes and a solicitation of consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2014 Notes. The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 22, 2010. As of the expiration of the consent solicitation, Omega was in receipt of tenders and consents representing approximately 85% of the outstanding 2014 Notes. The percentage of consents received exceeds the requisite consents needed to amend the indenture governing the 2014 Notes. Accordingly, Omega and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, have executed a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments.

Omega made a cash payment of $1,025.83 per $1,000 principal amount, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount, to the holders of 2014 Notes tendered prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2010. Remaining holders who validly tender their 2014 Notes after the expiration of the consent solicitation and before the expiration of the tender offer will be eligible to receive $995.83 per $1,000 principal amount of 2014 Notes not validly withdrawn.

The consideration for the tendered 2014 Notes and consents are being paid from the proceeds of Omega's previously announced private placement of $350 million principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2022.

The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated November 8, 2010, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the depositary and information agent for the tender offer, at (800) 431-9643 (US toll free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550.
