Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2021, as such discussion may be amended or updated in other reports filed by us with the SEC, before making a decision to invest in our notes. </I></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are a new issue of securities for which no established trading market exists. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities

holders may not be able to resell the notes at all or at prices acceptable to them. The liquidity of any trading market for, and future trading prices of, the notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the number of holders of
the notes, our operating results, financial performance and prospects, prevailing interest rates, changes in our credit rating or outlook, the market for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by
unfavorable changes in these factors. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>We may be able to

Notes&#151;General&#148;) does not limit the amount of indebtedness we may issue and we routinely incur additional indebtedness (both secured and unsecured) for various purposes, including in order to finance existing and new properties. However,
the additional covenant provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, including the limitation on liens provision and the limitation on indebtedness provision, limit the amount of secured and total debt that we may incur, as more fully explained in
&#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Certain Covenants.&#148; Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants, we will be able to incur a substantial amount of additional total debt and secured debt in the future. </P>

respect to the notes. Although we intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to Eligible Green Projects as described in &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; it will not be an event of default under the Indenture or the

Green Bond Register (as defined in &#147;Use of Proceeds&#148;) will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of debt and investing in health care and seniors housing properties. An external auditor, appointed by us, will examine,
on an annual basis, the proceeds so allocated and the remaining balance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There can be no assurance that the Eligible Green Projects funded with the net

law or regulations or by its own bylaws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates (in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any Eligible Green Projects or uses, the subject
of or related to, the relevant Eligible Green Projects). Adverse environmental, sustainability or social impacts may occur during the design, construction and operation of the Eligible Green Projects or the Eligible Green Projects may become
controversial or criticized by activist groups or other stakeholders. In addition, although we intend to limit the use of the net proceeds from the notes to Eligible Green Projects, there can be no assurance that one or more development,
redevelopment and/or tenant improvement Eligible Green Projects that we expect to receive a BREEAM (as defined in &#147;Use of Proceeds&#148;) or other sustainability related certification will actually receive such certification. </P>

interest from March&nbsp;31, 2022 at the rate per year shown on the front cover of this prospectus supplement payable semiannually in arrears on June&nbsp;15 and December&nbsp;15 of each year, commencing December&nbsp;15, 2022, to the persons in

premium, if any, and/or interest will be made on the next business day as if made on the date the payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after that interest payment date or the maturity date, or
such redemption date, as the case may be. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes may be reopened and we may from time to time issue additional notes of the same series. The notes

subsidiaries. Accordingly, such prior indebtedness and liabilities will have to be satisfied in full before you will be able to realize any value from our encumbered or indirectly held properties. Our subsidiaries, which owned approximately 97% of
our real estate investments as of December&nbsp;31, 2021, are separate legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due pursuant to the notes. As of December&nbsp;31, 2021, we and/or certain of our subsidiaries had indebtedness and other

Participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those
Direct Participants to whose accounts the Global Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Global Securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or
such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146; accounts, upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the Trustee, on
payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to
time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is our responsibility or that of the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. </P>

clearance and establishment of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the
Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear

simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interfaces with domestic markets in several markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear
Bank SA/NV (the &#147;Euroclear Operator&#148;), under contract with Euroclear plc, a U.K. corporation. All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts

financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters or other affiliates. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Settlement for the notes will be made by the underwriters in immediately available funds. All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect

settled in clearing-house or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">next-day</FONT> funds. In contrast, the notes will trade in DTC&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Same-Day</FONT> Funds Settlement System until maturity or earlier redemption or
until the notes are issued in certificated form, and secondary market trading activity in the notes will therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in
immediately available funds on trading activity in the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Clearstream and Euroclear will record the ownership interests of their participants in much
the same way as DTC, and DTC will record the total ownership of each of the U.S. agents of Clearstream and Euroclear, as participants in DTC. When notes are to be transferred from the account of a Direct Participant to the account of a Clearstream
Participant or a Euroclear Participant, the purchaser must send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one day prior to settlement. Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, will instruct its U.S. agent to
receive notes against payment. After settlement, Clearstream or Euroclear will credit its participant&#146;s account. Credit for the notes will appear on the next day (European time). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because settlement is taking place during New York business hours, Direct Participants will be able to employ their usual procedures for sending notes to the
relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Clearstream or Euroclear Participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. As a result, to the Direct Participant, a cross-market transaction will settle no
differently than a trade between two Direct Participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When a Clearstream or Euroclear Participant wishes to transfer notes to a Direct Participant,
the seller will be required to send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream or Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these notes against
payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream or Euroclear Participant the following day, with the proceeds back-valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York.
If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream or Euroclear Participant&#146;s account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You should be aware that you will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the notes through Clearstream and
Euroclear on the days when those clearing systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the U.S. In addition, because of time zone differences
there may be problems with completing transactions involving Clearstream and Euroclear on the same business day as in the U.S. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Events of Default

Report&#148;) under the caption &#147;Taxation.&#148; This discussion is for general information only and is not tax advice. This summary is only a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the discussion in our Annual Report under the
caption &#147;Taxation.&#148; The tax treatment of the notes will depend on the holder&#146;s particular situation, and this summary only applies to U.S. holders that hold notes as capital assets. This summary applies to you only if you are the
initial holder of the notes and you acquire the notes for a price equal to the issue price of the notes. The issue price of the notes is the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold other than to bond houses, brokers or similar
persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. This summary does not address all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to certain types of holders of the notes (including, but not limited to,
insurance companies, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entities, financial institutions or broker-dealers, persons holding the notes as part of a hedging, integrated conversion, or constructive sale transaction or a straddle,

relevant to you in light of your particular investment or other circumstances. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state or local income taxation or foreign income taxation or other tax consequences. This summary is based on current U.S.
federal income tax law. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
acquiring, owning and disposing of the notes. Before you purchase the notes, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the
notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income taxation of holders of our notes and the U.S. federal income taxation of the Company as

purchases a note for an amount in excess of its principal amount (excluding any amount properly allocable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-issuance</FONT> accrued interest) will be considered to have purchased the note with amortizable bond
premium in an amount equal to such excess. A U.S. holder may generally elect to amortize this bond premium, using a constant yield method, over the remaining term of the note. A U.S. holder may generally use the amortizable bond premium allocable to
an accrual period to offset stated interest required to be included in its gross income with respect to the note in that accrual period. A U.S. holder must reduce its tax basis in the note by the amount of premium amortized in any year. An election
to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations owned by the U.S. holder at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all taxable debt obligations thereafter acquired by the U.S. holder and may be
revoked only with the consent of the IRS. If the U.S. holder does not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss it would otherwise recognize on the disposition of the note. </P>

Sales of notes made outside the U.S. may be made by affiliates of the underwriters. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters&#146; right to reject any order in whole or in

must close out any short position by purchasing notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing

subordinated indebtedness. The debt securities may be guaranteed on a secured or unsecured, senior or subordinated basis, by one or more of our subsidiaries. The debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures between us and a specified
trustee. Any indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any indentures and the debt securities to be issued under the indentures are summaries of
certain provisions or anticipated provisions of the indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of the material terms of our debt securities.
Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. If you want more information, you should read the forms of indentures to be entered into between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as trustee, for senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities and junior subordinated debt securities which we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See &#147;Where You Can Find
Additional Information.&#148; The summary set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the descriptions of the particular terms of the securities described in the applicable
prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>

securities that we refer to as &#147;senior&#148; will be our direct obligations and will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with our other indebtedness not subordinated. We may issue debt securities that will be subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of senior debt, as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus, and may rank equally and ratably with the other senior subordinated indebtedness. We refer to these as
&#147;senior subordinated&#148; securities. We may also issue debt securities that may be subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated securities. These would be &#147;junior subordinated&#148; securities. We have filed with the
registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, separate forms of indentures for senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities and junior subordinated debt securities. We refer to each of these three indentures as an
&#147;indenture.&#148; We refer to senior subordinated and junior subordinated securities as &#147;subordinated.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the
debt securities without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as we establish in one or more supplemental indentures. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time. Unless we otherwise
provide, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of the series, for issuances of additional securities of that series. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities, the debt securities will not constitute obligations of
our subsidiaries. Creditors and preferred equity holders of our subsidiaries are entitled to a preferred claim on the assets of those subsidiaries. Consequently, in the event of a liquidation or reorganization of any subsidiary, creditors and
preferred equity holders of the subsidiary are likely to be paid in full before any distribution is made to the Company and holders of debt securities, except to the extent that the Company is itself recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary, in
which case the Company&#146;s claims would still be subordinate to any security interests in the assets of such subsidiary and any debt of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company. </P>

common stock or other equity securities ranking junior to the applicable series as to distributions and upon liquidation. If the applicable series is noncumulative, we need only declare, and pay or set aside for payment, the distribution for the

this option, we will appoint a depositary to issue depositary receipts representing those fractional interests. Shares of preferred stock of each series represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us
and the depositary. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will provide the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each owner of depositary shares will be entitled
to all of the dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, liquidation and other rights and preferences of the shares of preferred stock represented by those depositary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement will evidence ownership of depositary shares. Upon surrender of

the surrendered depositary receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Distributions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A depositary will be required to distribute all dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the applicable shares of preferred
stock to the record holders of depositary receipts evidencing the related depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary receipts owned by the holders. Fractions will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the distribution is other than in cash, a depositary will be required to distribute property received by it to the record holders of
depositary receipts entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. In that case, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the
holders of depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary shares that represent shares of preferred stock converted or exchanged will not be entitled to
distributions. The deposit agreement also will contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights we offer to holders of shares of preferred stock will be made available to holders of depositary shares. All

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we redeem a series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, the depositary will redeem those shares from the proceeds it
receives. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the preferred stock. The redemption date for depositary shares will be the same as
that of the preferred stock. If we are redeeming less than all of the depositary shares, the depositary will select the depositary shares we are redeeming by lot or pro rata as the depositary may determine. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding. All rights of the
holders of the depositary shares and the related depositary receipts will cease at that time, except the right to receive the money or other property to which the holders of depositary shares were entitled upon redemption. Receipt of the money or

entitled to instruct the depositary as to how the holder&#146;s depositary shares will be voted. The record date for the depositary shares will be the same as the record date for the preferred stock. The depositary will vote the shares as you
instruct. We will agree to take all reasonable action that the depositary deems necessary in order to enable it to vote the preferred stock in that manner. If you do not instruct the depositary how to vote your shares, the depositary will abstain
from voting those shares. The depositary will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instruction, or for the manner or effect of any vote, as long as its action or inaction is in good faith and does not result from its negligence
or willful misconduct. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation Preference </B></P>

securities or property. Nevertheless, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary receipts may be surrendered by holders to the applicable depositary with written instructions to it to instruct us to cause the conversion
of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. Similarly, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may require you to surrender all of your depositary receipts to the applicable depositary upon our requiring the
conversion or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares into our debt securities. We will agree that, upon receipt of the instruction and any amounts payable in connection with the conversion or exchange, we will cause the
conversion or exchange using the same procedures as those provided for delivery of shares of preferred stock to effect the conversion or exchange. If you are converting only a part of the depositary shares, the depositary will issue you a new
depositary receipt for any unconverted depositary shares. </P>

certificates of designation (for our preferred stock) provide that no person may acquire securities that would result in the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 9.8% of our common stock or more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding
capital stock by such person. For purposes of application of such limitations to any person, all options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire our capital stock held directly or indirectly by such person will be treated as if
all such rights had been exercised. If any securities in excess of this limit are issued or transferred to any person, such issuance or transfer shall be valid only with respect to such amount of securities as does not exceed this limit, and such
issuance or transfer will be void with respect to the excess. The board of directors may grant limited exemptions from the ownership restrictions set forth in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> to specified persons if the board

equivalent of treasury securities for such purposes, the excess securities will not be entitled to any voting rights, will not be considered to be outstanding for quorum or voting purposes, and will not be entitled to receive dividends, interest or
any other distribution with respect to such securities. Any person who receives dividends, interest or any other distribution in respect of the excess securities will hold the same as our agent and for the transferee of the excess securities
