None of the 2015 cash dividends are considered to be a capital gain
distribution or a return of capital (i.e. non-taxable distribution).
Stockholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding
the tax consequences of these distributions.
Separately, on August 17, 2015, the Company completed its spin-off (the
“Spin-Off”) of Care Capital Properties, Inc (“CCP”). Tax information
regarding the distribution of CCP shares made as part of the Spin-Off
can be found at http://ventasreit.com/investor-relations/dividend-information/form-8937-organizational-actions.
Following the Spin-Off, the combined cash dividends of CCP and VTR
increased by 10 percent from their prior level on an aggregate basis.
VTR’s dividend went from $0.79 per share to $0.73 per share to account
for the Spin-Off, and CCP’s third quarter dividend was $0.57 per share
($0.1425 per share on a pre Spin-Off 1:4 adjustment basis).
