Additionally, cyber threats and the techniques used in cyberattacks change, develop and evolve rapidly, including from emerging technologies, such as advanced forms of artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Removed
The 20 risk of security incidents has also increased with our increased dependence on the Internet while our employees work remotely due to our health and safety policies.
Added
We have engaged a third-party cybersecurity firm who serves as our dedicated information technology (“IT”) team and helps us oversee, implement and manage our processes and controls to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats. It is possible that our processes and controls will not detect or protect against all cybersecurity threats or incidents.
Removed
For our tenants, borrowers and operators, the trend toward increased remote work and rapid implementation of telehealth within the healthcare industry in response to the pandemic may have created new or increased cyber risks. A data security incident or breach occurring at or involving us could have a material adverse impact on our company.
Added
In addition, any failure on the part of our outsourced IT team to effectively monitor and protect our information systems could make us more vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents.
Removed
If we incur additional debt, the related risks described above could intensify. Furthermore, the Senior Notes Indentures do not impose any limitation on our ability to incur liabilities that are not considered indebtedness under the Senior Notes Indentures.
Added
Although, to our knowledge, no cybersecurity incident has been material to our business to date, we have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to cybersecurity threats and attacks of varying degrees, and there can be no assurance that we will not experience a material incident.
Removed
Changes and uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions and disruptions in the financial markets could adversely affect the value of our real estate investments and our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Added
In addition, the Senior Notes Indentures (as defined below) permit us to incur substantial additional debt, including secured debt (to which the Senior Notes will be effectively subordinated). If we incur additional debt, the related risks described above could intensify.
Removed
Moreover, the 2017 Tax Act amended the Code such that income must be accrued for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is taken into account as revenue in our financial statements, subject to certain exceptions, which could also create timing differences between net taxable income and the receipt of cash attributable to such income.
Removed
In addition, non-deductible expenses such as principal amortization or repayments or capital expenditures in excess of non-cash deductions also may cause us to fail to have sufficient cash or liquid assets to enable us to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement.
Removed
We will be treated as owning, under the applicable attribution rules, 10% or more of a lessee’s stock, capital or profits at any time that a stockholder owns, directly or under the applicable attribution rules, (a) 10% or more of our common stock and (b) 10% or more of the lessee’s stock, capital or profits.
Removed
The provisions of our charter restrict the transfer and ownership of our common stock that would cause the rents received or accrued by us from a tenant of ours to be treated as non-qualifying rent for purposes of the REIT gross income requirements.
Removed
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that such restrictions will be effective in ensuring that we will not be treated as related to a tenant of ours.
Removed
If we have significant amounts of non-cash taxable income, we may have to declare taxable stock dividends or make other non-cash distributions, which could cause our stockholders to incur tax liabilities in excess of cash received. We currently intend to pay dividends in cash only, and not in-kind.
Removed
However, if for any taxable year, we have significant amounts of taxable income in excess of available cash flow, we may have to declare dividends in-kind in order to satisfy the REIT annual distribution requirements. We may distribute a portion of our dividends in the form of our stock or our debt instruments.
Removed
The IRS issued a Revenue Procedure treating certain distributions that are paid by an SEC-registered REIT partly in cash and partly in shares as dividends that would satisfy the REIT annual distribution requirement and qualify for the dividends paid deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes so long as at least 20% (10% for (i) distributions declared on or after April 1, 2020 and on or before December 31, 2020 and (ii) distributions declared on or after November 1, 2021 and on or before June 30, 2022) of the total dividend is available in cash.
Removed
However, if we make such a distribution, U.S. holders would be required to include the full amount of the dividend (i.e., the cash and stock portion) as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Removed
As a result, a U.S. holder may be required to pay income taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash received.
Removed
If a U.S. holder sells our stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of the stock at the time of the sale.
Removed
Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. holders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock.
Removed
In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, these sales may put downward pressure on the trading price of our stock.
Removed
No assurance can be given that the IRS will not impose additional requirements in the future with respect to taxable dividends payable in cash and/or stock, including on a retroactive basis, or assert that the requirements for such taxable dividends have not been met.
Removed
Our charter restricts the transfer and ownership of our stock, which may restrict change of control or business combination opportunities in which our stockholders might receive a premium for their shares.
Removed
The ownership limits may have the effect of discouraging an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors, which might involve a premium price for our common stock. We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the market price of our common stock.
Removed
We cannot predict with 26 certainty whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws applicable to us or our stockholders may be changed. Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
Removed
For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026, the 2017 Tax Act temporarily reduces the maximum individual U.S. federal income tax rate from 39.6% to 37% and the effective tax rate on ordinary REIT dividends (i.e., dividends other than capital gain dividends and dividends attributable to certain qualified dividend income received by us) for U.S. holders of our common shares that are individuals, estates or trusts by permitting such holders to claim a deduction in determining their taxable income equal to 20% of any such dividends they receive.
Removed
A domestic TRS will pay U.S. federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that it earns, but net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of TRS losses may be deducted only to the extent of 80% of TRS taxable income in the carryforward year (computed without regard to the NOL deduction).
