We plan to seek to profit from this demand in the future by, over time, investing in our properties, acquiring additional properties and entering into lease and management arrangements with qualified tenants, managers and operators which enhance our cash flow and generate returns that exceed our operating and capital costs to us, including structuring leases that provide for or permit periodic rent increases.

A portion of our medical office and life science property leases are “full service” leases where we receive fixed rent from the tenants and do not charge the tenants for any property operating expenses. Our leases for senior living communities and wellness centers are “triple net” leases.

To seek to achieve these objectives, we seek to: maintain a strong capital base of shareholders' equity; invest in properties with strong market fundamentals and high credit quality tenants and managers; use leverage to fund additional investments which increase cash flow from operations because of positive spreads between our cost of capital and investment yields; make structured investments, including joint venture arrangements, which generate a minimum return and provide an opportunity to participate in operating growth at our properties; when market conditions permit, refinance maturing debt with new debt or equity; and pursue diversification so that our cash flow from operations comes from diverse properties and tenants.
