expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.&nbsp;Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers&#146; intent, belief or expectations as identified by the use of words such as
&#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;could,&#148;

statements concerning our expected future operations, strategies, securities offerings, growth and investment opportunities, dispositions, capital structure changes, budgets and other developments. Readers are cautioned that, while forward-looking
statements reflect our good faith belief and reasonable assumptions based upon current information, we can give no assurance that our expectations or forecasts will be attained. Therefore, readers should be mindful that forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and that they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution when considering forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made. As more fully set forth

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">National Health Investors, Inc. (&#147;NHI&#148;), established in 1991 as a Maryland corporation, is a self-managed REIT specializing in sale-leaseback,
joint-venture, mortgage and mezzanine financing of need-driven and discretionary senior housing and medical facility investments. Our portfolio consists of real estate investments in independent living facilities, assisted living facilities, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">entrance-fee</FONT> communities, senior living campuses, skilled nursing facilities, specialty hospitals and medical office buildings. We fund our real estate investments primarily through: (1)&nbsp;operating cash flow,
(2)&nbsp;debt financing (both unsecured and secured), and (3)&nbsp;the sale of equity securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At&nbsp;September 30, 2020, we had investments in real
estate, mortgage and other notes receivable involving&nbsp;243&nbsp;facilities located in&nbsp;34&nbsp;states with 37 operating partners. Since 2017, we have announced approximately $1.1&nbsp;billion of investments, with significant diversification
by asset class and operator, formed seven new operator relationships, and grown from 218 total facilities in 2017 to 243 today. We generally seek to fund the purchase price of our investments with 60% equity and 40% debt, and target 4.0x to 5.0x Net
Debt to Adjusted Annualized EBITDA. These investments involve&nbsp;162&nbsp;senior housing properties,&nbsp;76&nbsp;skilled nursing facilities,&nbsp;three&nbsp;hospitals,&nbsp;two&nbsp;medical office buildings, representing approximately 24,600
units, and other notes receivable. These investments (excluding our corporate office with an original cost of&nbsp;approximately $2.7 million) consisted of properties with an original cost of&nbsp;approximately $3.3&nbsp;billion, rented under <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">triple-net</FONT> leases to&nbsp;34 lessees, and&nbsp;$292.2 million&nbsp;aggregate carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable due from&nbsp;11&nbsp;borrowers. Based on annualized contractual rent and interest
of approximately $300&nbsp;million, Senior Housing (discretionary) was our largest asset class, representing 37% of such rent and interest, Senior Housing (need driven) represented 32%, Skilled Nursing 27%, and Other 4%. </P>

due for January through January 14, 2021. The remaining balance for the month is comprised of the following: 1.2% of contractual cash not yet due per terms of the lease agreements; 2.8% for rent deferrals related to Bickford Senior Living
(&#147;Bickford&#148;); 1.6% for one previously disclosed tenant concession; and 0.5% related to lower forecasted revenue from transitioned properties prior to the start of the pandemic. Please see the Company&#146;s Form 10-Q for the third quarter

grade credit rating, we have the option to elect to have such interest rate spreads based on our credit ratings, in which case the stated interest rate spread over LIBOR can vary from 0.825% to 1.55% and the stated interest rate spread over the Base

accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer or its affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us may
routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of
credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The

contain the full text of certain contracts and other important documents that we have summarized in this prospectus or that we may summarize in a prospectus supplement. Since these summaries may not contain all the information that you may find
important in deciding whether to purchase the securities we offer, you should review the full text of these documents. The registration statement and the exhibits and other documents can be obtained from the SEC as indicated under the section

facts.&nbsp;Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our and our officers&#146; intent, belief or expectations as identified by the use of words such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;

the negative of these forward-looking phases or similar words or phrases. In addition, we, through our officers, from time to time, make forward-looking oral and written public statements concerning our expected future operations, strategies,
securities offerings, growth and investment opportunities, dispositions, capital structure changes, budgets and other developments. Readers are cautioned that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith belief and reasonable assumptions
based upon current information, we can give no assurance that our expectations or forecasts will be attained. Therefore, readers should be mindful that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that they are subject to
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by
law. Accordingly, investors should use caution when considering forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made. As more fully set forth under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual Report on <FONT

separate and apart from the trust or trusts administered by any other trustee under the indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in any applicable prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a trustee may be taken by such trustee only

obtain payment of claims in some cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee may engage in other transactions with us. If it acquires any conflicting interest under the Trust
Indenture Act relating to any of its duties with respect to the debt securities, however, it must eliminate the conflict or resign as Trustee. </P>

meaning that beneficial owners of the securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. If securities are issued in book
entry form, they will be evidenced by one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository identified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the securities. The Depository Trust Company is expected to
serve as depository. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of such
depository or by a nominee of such depository to such depository or another nominee of such depository or by the depository or any nominee of such depository to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor. Global securities may be issued
in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depository arrangement with respect to a class or series of securities that differ from the terms described here will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we anticipate that the following provisions will

&#147;participants.&#148; Such accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to the securities or by us if the securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security
will be limited to the depository&#146;s participants or persons that may hold interests through such participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only
through, records maintained by the applicable depository or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) and records of the participants (with respect to beneficial interests of persons who hold through participants). The laws
of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to own, pledge or transfer beneficial interest in a global security. </P>

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and of our charter and bylaws. This is a summary, and does not completely
describe Maryland law, our charter or our bylaws. For a complete description, we refer you to the MGCL, our charter and our bylaws. We have incorporated by reference our charter and bylaws as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transfer and Ownership Restrictions Relating to Our Common and Preferred Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our common and preferred stock in our charter that are intended to assist us in complying with the
requirements to continue to qualify as a REIT. Our charter prohibits the beneficial ownership of shares of common or preferred stock in excess of the ownership limit and any attempted transfer in violation of the ownership limit is void. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter provides that any transfer that (i)&nbsp;would result in a person owning shares in excess of the ownership limit, which as of the date of this
prospectus and as a result of the Excepted Holder Agreements discussed below, is (a)&nbsp;for all stockholders who are not Excepted Holders (as defined below), a percentage determined by a formula set forth in our charter designed to accommodate our
Excepted Holders, currently determined to be 7.5%, in the lesser of number or value, of our outstanding shares of common stock or (b)&nbsp;for Excepted Holders, the limit specifically set forth in the applicable Excepted Holder Agreement,
(ii)&nbsp;would cause NHI to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, or (iii)&nbsp;would cause NHI to be &#147;closely held&#148; under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), would be void. For purposes of the
ownership limit, shares are beneficially owned by the person who is the actual owner or who is treated as the owner of such shares, directly, indirectly or constructively under the Code. At any time when there are no Excepted Holders with limits
specifically set forth in the applicable Excepted Holder Agreements, our charter specifies that the ownership limit described above is 9.9%. With respect to preferred stock, we may, in articles supplementary creating any such preferred stock,
determine a limit on the ownership of one more classes or series of preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any shares that are owned in violation of the ownership limit or
that would cause us to be closely held will be automatically converted into shares of &#147;Excess Stock&#148; under our charter effective as of the day before the transaction giving rise to the conversion. Our charter provides that, upon
conversion, shares of Excess Stock will be deemed to be contributed into a trust held for the sole benefit of a tax exempt charitable organization designated by our board of directors. Shares of Excess Stock will carry the same voting rights and
rights to distributions and dividends as the shares from which they were converted. However, any distributions or dividends paid on the shares of Excess Stock will be held in the trust and all voting rights with respect to the shares of Excess Stock
may be exercised only by the trustee. The trustee may sell shares of Excess Stock provided that any such sale would not result in a violation of the ownership limitation. From the proceeds of such sale, the trustee is required to distribute to the
holder of such shares the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the price paid by the record owner for such shares (or, if no consideration was paid by such record owners, the average closing price for such shares for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
date the record owner acquired such shares) or (ii)&nbsp;the proceeds received by the trustee. All remaining proceeds will be distributed to the charitable beneficiary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may purchase shares converted into Excess Stock for a price per share equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the per share price paid by the holder in the
transaction that cause such shares to be converted into Excess Stock (or in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of such devise or gift) or (ii)&nbsp;the market price of the shares from which such Excess Stock was converted on
the date NHI exercises its purchase right. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our board of directors has the power to permit persons to own shares in excess of the ownership limit (thereby
becoming &#147;Excepted Holders&#148;) provided that the board believes that NHI&#146;s REIT status will not be jeopardized and otherwise decides that such action is in our best interest and any such persons enter into excepted holder agreements
with us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective April&nbsp;29, 2008, we entered into Excepted Holder Agreements with W. Andrew Adams and certain members of his family. These written
agreements are intended to restate and replace the parties&#146; prior verbal agreement. A separate agreement was entered into with each of the spouse and children of Dr.&nbsp;Carl&nbsp;E. Adams and others within Mr.&nbsp;W. Andrew Adams&#146;
family. We needed to enter into such an agreement with each family member </P>

because of the complicated ownership attribution rules under the Code. These agreements permit the &#147;Excepted Holders&#148; to own stock in excess of 9.9% up to the limit specifically
provided in the individual agreement and not lose rights with respect to such shares. However, if the stockholder&#146;s stock ownership exceeds the limit then such shares in excess of the limit become Excess Stock. The purpose of these agreements
is to ensure that NHI does not violate the prohibition against a REIT being closely held. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the Excepted Holder Agreements currently outstanding,
as of the date of this prospectus, the ownership limit of our outstanding common stock for all other stockholders who are not Excepted Holders is approximately 7.5%. This ownership limit may change if we enter into additional Excepted Holder
Agreements. Our charter gives our board of directors broad powers to prohibit and rescind any attempted transfer in violation of the ownership limit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon demand by us, each stockholder must disclose such information with respect to direct and indirect ownership of stock owned (or deemed to be owned after
applying the rules applicable to REITs under the Code) as our board of directors deems reasonably necessary in order that we may fully comply with the REIT provisions of the Code. Proposed transferees of stock must also satisfy the board, upon
demand, that such transferees will not cause us to fall out of compliance with such provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Structure and Election of Directors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter divides our board of directors into three classes (Class A, Class&nbsp;B and Class&nbsp;C), with directors in each class serving for three-year
terms and only one class up for election each year. Moreover, no director may be removed prior to the expiration of his or her term except for cause.&nbsp;These provisions in our charter may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender
offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company and may maintain the incumbency of our board of directors, because this structure generally increases the difficulty of, or may delay, replacing a majority of the directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws provide that our board of directors may establish, increase or decrease the number of directors, provided that the number thereof shall never be
less than three nor more than nine. Holders of common stock have no right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. Under our bylaws, a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is
present is sufficient to elect a director (with votes cast including votes to withhold authority and excluding abstentions). However,&nbsp;in the event of a contested election of directors, a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of
stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present is required. A vacancy which arises through the death, resignation or removal of a director or as a result of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the
entire board of directors, and a director so elected shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualified. </P>

meetings of the stockholders shall be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than 25% of the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Only matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting
may be considered and acted upon at such a meeting. Maryland law and our bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting by unanimous written consent, if that consent sets

committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii)&nbsp;such person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, such person had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The indemnity may include judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of <I>nolo contendere </I>or its equivalent or an entry of an order of
probation prior to judgment creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for permitted indemnification. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement,

legislation made many changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws that significantly impact the taxation of individuals, corporations (including <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> C corporations and corporations that have elected to be
taxed as REITs) and taxpayers with overseas assets and operations. These changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. However, a number of changes that reduce the tax rates applicable to <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayers (including a new 20% deduction for qualified REIT dividends that reduces the effective rate of regular income tax on such income) and limit the ability of such taxpayers to claim certain
deductions will expire for taxable years beginning after 2025, unless Congress acts to extend them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These changes impact us and our stockholders in
various ways, some of which are adverse relative to prior law, and this summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations incorporates these changes where applicable. To date, the IRS has issued only some guidance with respect to certain provisions
of the new law. There are numerous interpretative issues and ambiguities that still require guidance and that are not clearly addressed in the new legislative history that accompanied H.R. 1, and additional technical corrections are needed to
clarify certain of the new provisions and give proper effect to Congressional intent. There can be no assurance that technical clarifications or other legislative changes that may be needed to prevent unintended or unforeseen tax consequences will
be enacted by Congress in the near future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>U.S. Federal Taxation of NHI as a REIT </B></P>

to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual operating results, the various qualification tests and organizational requirements imposed under the Code, as discussed below, including qualification tests based on NHI&#146;s assets, income,
distributions and stock ownership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with this prospectus, Hogan Lovells US LLP has rendered an opinion to us to the effect that commencing

to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for the taxable year ending December&nbsp;31, 2020 and future taxable years. It must be emphasized that the opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP is based on various

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to satisfy various requirements under the Code relating
to qualification for REIT status (discussed below) and some of these requirements depend upon actual operating results, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership, asset composition, source of income and record keeping. Accordingly, while we
intend to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, the actual results of our operations for any particular year might not satisfy these requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Hogan Lovells US LLP will not monitor our compliance
with the requirements for REIT qualification on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operation for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements. Further, the anticipated U.S. federal
income tax treatment described herein may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any time. Hogan Lovells US LLP has no obligation to update its opinion subsequent to the date of such opinion, or to
advise us or our stockholders of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed in the opinion, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. For a discussion of the tax consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT. See

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An unincorporated domestic entity, such as a limited liability company, that has a single owner, generally
is not treated as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An unincorporated domestic entity with two or more owners is generally treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a REIT
that is a partner in a partnership, the REIT is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and as earning its allocable share of the gross income of the partnership for purposes of the applicable REIT qualification
tests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If, as in our case, a REIT is a partner in a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate
capital share of the assets of the partnership and will be deemed to be entitled to the income of the partnership attributable to that capital share. Also, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership will retain the same
character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the asset tests. In addition, for these purposes, the assets and items of income of any partnership in which we own a
direct or indirect interest include such partnership&#146;s share of assets and items of income of any partnership in which it owns an interest. The treatment described above also applies with respect to the ownership of interests in limited
liability companies or other entities that are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 changed the rules
applicable to U.S. federal income tax audits of partnerships (including partnerships in which we are a partner) and the collection of any tax resulting from such audits or other tax proceedings. Under the new rules, the partnership itself must pay
any &#147;imputed underpayments,&#148; consisting of delinquent taxes, interest, and penalties deemed to arise out of an audit of the partnership, unless certain alternative methods are available and the partnership elects to utilize them. The new
rules generally do not apply to audits of taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2018, and many of the details, including the means by which a partnership can avail itself of the alternative methods and the manner in which the alternative
methods may apply to REITs, will be determined through Treasury Regulations or other guidance. Although it is uncertain how certain aspects of these rules will be implemented, it is possible that in the future, we and/or any partnership in which we
are a partner could be subject to, or otherwise bear the economic burden of, U.S. federal income tax, interest, and penalties resulting from a U.S. federal income tax audit as a result of the changes enacted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have direct or indirect control of all partnerships and limited liability companies in which we own an interest and intend to continue to operate them

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may, from time to time, own interests in subsidiary corporations. We own and operate a number of properties through our wholly-owned subsidiaries that we
believe will be treated as &#147;qualified REIT subsidiaries&#148; under the Code. A corporation will qualify as our qualified REIT subsidiary if we own 100% of its outstanding stock and if we do not elect with the subsidiary to treat it as a
&#147;taxable REIT subsidiary,&#148; as described below. A corporation that is a qualified REIT subsidiary is not treated as a separate corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and
credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit (as the case may be) of the parent REIT for all purposes under the Code (including all REIT qualification tests). Thus, in applying
the U.S. federal income tax requirements described in this prospectus, the subsidiaries in which we own a 100% interest (other than any taxable REIT subsidiaries) are ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of
such subsidiaries are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not required to pay U.S. federal income tax, and our ownership of the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary does not
violate the restrictions on ownership of securities of any one issuer which constitute more than 10% of the voting power or value of such issuer&#146;s securities or more than 5% of the value of our total assets, as described below in

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest on debt secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property (including, in the case of a loan secured by real property and
personal property, such personal property to the extent that it does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property securing the loan), including, for this purpose, prepayment penalties, loan assumption fees and late payment
charges that are not compensation for services, generally is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. In general, under applicable Treasury Regulations, if a loan is secured by real property and other property and the highest
principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan determined as of: (i)&nbsp;the date we agreed to acquire or originate the loan; or (ii)&nbsp;in the event of a
&#147;significant modification,&#148; the date we modified the loan, then a portion of the interest income from such loan will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, but will be qualifying income for purposes of the 95%
gross income test. The portion of the interest income that will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test will be equal to the portion of the principal amount of the loan that is not secured by real property&#151; that is,
the amount by which the loan exceeds the value of the real property that is security for the loan. IRS guidance provides that we do not need to redetermine fair market value of the real property securing the loan in connection with a loan
modification that is occasioned by a borrower default or made at a time when we reasonably believe that the modification to the loan will substantially reduce a significant risk of default on the loan. </P>

extent that it does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property securing the loan) which will secure the loans and which are to be constructed from proceeds of the loan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We hold certain mezzanine loans and may originate or acquire other mezzanine loans. Mezzanine loans are loans secured by equity interests in an entity that

security interest in ownership interests in a partnership or limited liability company owning real property will be treated as real estate assets for purposes of the REIT asset tests described below, and interest derived from those loans will be
treated as qualifying income for both the 75% and 95% gross income tests, provided several requirements are satisfied. Although Revenue Procedure <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2003-65</FONT> provides a safe harbor on which taxpayers may rely, it
does not prescribe rules of substantive tax law. Moreover, we expect that some of our mezzanine loans may not meet all of the requirements for reliance on the safe harbor. To the extent any mezzanine loans that we originate or acquire do not qualify
for the safe harbor described above, the interest income from the loans may be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, but there is a risk that such interest income will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We must pay such dividends in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if we declare the dividend before we timely file our
U.S. federal income tax return for the year and pay the dividend on or before the first regular dividend payment date after such declaration and within the twelve-month period following the close of such year. These distributions generally are
taxable to our existing stockholders, other than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entities, in the year in which paid. This is so even though these distributions may relate to the prior year for purposes of the 90% distribution
requirement. However, if we declare a dividend in October, November or December of a taxable year, such dividend is payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in any such month and such dividend is actually paid before the end of the

classes of stock set forth in our organizational documents. A distribution of a preferential dividend may cause other distributions to be treated as preferential dividends, possibly preventing us from satisfying the requirements for REIT

to satisfy the distribution requirements. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and payment of
deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in determining our taxable income, or if the amount of nondeductible expenses (such as principal amortization or capital expenses) exceeds the amount of noncash deductions
(such as depreciation). If these timing differences occur, we may be required to borrow funds or sell assets to pay cash dividends or we may be required to pay dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends in order to meet the distribution

amended by H.R. 1, limits the deductibility of net interest expense paid or accrued on debt properly allocable to a trade or business to 30% of &#147;adjusted taxable income,&#148; subject to certain exceptions. Any deduction in excess of the
limitation is carried forward and may be used in a subsequent year, subject to the 30% limitation. Adjusted taxable income is determined without regard to certain deductions, including those for net interest expense, net operating loss carryforwards
and, for taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2022, depreciation, amortization and depletion. Provided the taxpayer makes a timely election (which is irrevocable), the 30% limitation does not apply to a trade or business involving real
property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, rental, operation, acquisition, conversion, disposition, management, leasing or brokerage, within the meaning of Section&nbsp;469(c)(7)(C) of the Code. If this election is available,
then depreciable real property (including certain improvements) held by the relevant trade or business must be depreciated under the alternative depreciation system under the Code, which is generally less favorable than the generally applicable
system of depreciation under the Code. If we do not make the election or if the election is determined not to be available with respect to all or certain of our business activities, the interest deduction limitation could result in us having more
REIT taxable income and thus increase the amount of distributions we must make to comply with the REIT requirements and avoid incurring corporate level tax. Similarly, the limitation could cause our taxable REIT subsidiaries to have greater taxable
income and thus potentially greater corporate tax liability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Recordkeeping Requirements </I></B></P>

provisions. Dividends of this kind will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of taxable U.S. holders that are corporations. Dividends made by us that we properly
designate as capital gain dividends will be taxable to taxable U.S. holders as gain from the sale of a capital asset held for more than one year, to the extent that such designated amounts do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable
year, without regard to the period for which a taxable U.S. holders has held its common stock. Thus, with certain limitations, capital gain dividends received by an individual taxable U.S. holder may be eligible for preferential rates of taxation.
Taxable U.S. holders that are corporations may, however, be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Capital gains on the sale of depreciable real property held for more than 12 months are subject to a 25%
maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for taxpayers who are individuals, to the extent of previously-claimed depreciation deductions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent that
we pay dividends, not designated as capital gain dividends, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, these dividends will be treated first as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> return of capital to each taxable
U.S. holder. Thus, these dividends will reduce the adjusted basis which the taxable U.S. holder has in our stock for tax purposes by the amount of the dividend, but not below zero. Dividends in excess of a taxable U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted basis
in its common stock will be taxable as capital gains, provided that the stock is held as a capital asset. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders may not include in their own
income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital losses. However, we generally are allowed to carry over such losses for potential offset against our future income, subject to certain limitations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may elect to retain, rather than distribute, all or a portion of our net long-term capital gains and pay the tax on such gains. If we make such an
election, we will designate amounts as undistributed capital gains in respect of your shares or beneficial interests by written notice to you which we will mail out to you with our annual report or at any time within 60 days after December&nbsp;31
of any year. When we make such an election, taxable U.S. holders holding common stock at the close of our taxable year will be required to include, in computing their long-term capital gains for the taxable year in which the last day of our taxable
year falls, the amount that we designate in a written notice mailed to our stockholders. We may not designate amounts in excess of our undistributed net capital gain for the taxable year. Each taxable U.S. holder required to include the designated
amount in determining the holder&#146;s long-term capital gains will be deemed to have paid, in the taxable year of the inclusion, the tax paid by us in respect of such U.S. holder&#146;s share of our undistributed net capital gains. Taxable U.S.
holders to whom these rules apply will be allowed a credit or a refund, as the case may be, for the tax they are deemed to have paid. Taxable U.S. holders will increase their basis in their stock by the difference between the amount of the
includible gains and the tax deemed paid by the stockholder in respect of these gains. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dividends made by us and gain arising from a taxable U.S.
holder&#146;s sale or exchange of our stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a result, taxable U.S. holders generally will not be able to apply any passive losses against that income or gain. A U.S. holder may elect to treat
capital gain dividends, capital gains from the disposition of stock and qualified dividend income as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation, but in such case, the holder will be taxed at ordinary income rates
on such amount. Other distributions made by us, to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital, generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When a taxable U.S. holder sells or otherwise disposes of our securities, the holder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an
amount equal to the difference between (a)&nbsp;the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition, and (b)&nbsp;the holder&#146;s adjusted basis in the security for tax purposes. This gain or loss
will be capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the security as a capital asset. The gain or loss will be long-term gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the security for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of an individual
taxable U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates (currently, a maximum of 20%). Any gain recognized by an individual stockholder on the sale of our securities held for less than one year will be taxed at ordinary income rates (currently,
a maximum of 37%). The characterization of income as capital gain or ordinary income may affect the deductibility of capital losses. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayer may deduct capital losses not offset by capital
gains against its ordinary income only up to a maximum of $3,000 annually. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayer may carry unused capital losses forward indefinitely. A corporate taxpayer must pay tax on its net capital
gains at corporate ordinary-income rates. A corporate taxpayer may deduct capital losses only to the extent of capital gains, with unused losses carried back three years and forward five years. In general,

profits tax may also apply if the stockholder is a foreign corporation. We expect to withhold U.S. tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any dividends, other than dividends treated as attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real

or indirectly, interests in various partnerships and limited liability companies which are treated as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may own interests in additional partnerships and limited liability
companies in the future. Our ownership interests in such partnerships and limited liability companies involve special tax considerations. These special tax considerations include, for example, the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status
of one or more of the partnerships or limited liability companies in which we own an interest as partnerships or disregarded entities, as opposed to associations taxable as corporations, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership or
limited liability company in which we own an interest, or one or more of its subsidiary partnerships or limited liability companies, were treated as an association, it would be taxable as a corporation and would therefore be subject to an
entity-level tax on its income. In this situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income would change, and could prevent us from satisfying the REIT asset tests and possibly the REIT income tests. See &#147;U.S. Federal Taxation of
NHI as a REIT&#151;Asset Tests&#148; and &#147;U.S. Federal Taxation of NHI as a REIT&#151;Income Tests&#148; above. This, in turn, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify as a REIT&#148; for a discussion of
the effect on our failure to meet these tests. In addition, a change in the tax status of one or more of the partnerships or limited liability companies in which we own an interest might be treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax
liability without any related cash distributions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Treasury Regulations that apply for tax periods beginning on or after January&nbsp;1, 1997, provide
that a domestic business entity not organized or otherwise required to be treated as a corporation (an &#147;eligible entity&#148;) may elect to be taxed as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless it elects
otherwise, an eligible entity in existence prior to January&nbsp;1, 1997, will have the same classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes that it claimed under the entity classification Treasury Regulations in effect prior to this date. In
addition, an eligible entity which did not exist or did not claim a classification prior to January&nbsp;1, 1997, will be classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless it elects otherwise. The
partnerships and limited liability companies in which we own an interest intend to claim classification as partnerships or disregarded entities under these Treasury Regulations. As a result, we believe that these partnerships and limited liability
companies will be classified as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Taxation of the Leases </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The availability to us of, among other things, depreciation on our properties will depend upon the treatment of us as the owner of such properties and the
classification of our leases as true leases, rather than, for example, financing transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on a number of court decisions, whether we will be treated as the owner of our properties and whether each
lease will constitute a true lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be determined by reference to the facts and circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No assurances can
be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge our status as the owner of our properties and the status of each lease as a true lease. For example, the IRS could take the position that NHC&#146;s original contribution of the real property to
NHI in 1991 and leaseback of the properties by NHC constituted a financing transaction in which NHC is the owner and NHI merely a secured creditor. In such event, we would not be entitled to claim depreciation with respect to any facility subject to
the lease. As a consequence, we might lack sufficient cash or liquid assets to meet the distribution requirements, or if the requirements were met, a larger percentage of distributions from us in a particular year would constitute ordinary dividend
income instead of a partial return of capital to our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>State and Local Taxes </I></B></P>

property or resides. The state and local tax treatment may differ from the U.S. federal income tax treatment described above. For instance, while some states recognize the status of REITs as corporations and permit them to substantially eliminate
corporate-level taxation via deductible distributions, other states may not. Consequently, holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws upon an investment in our securities. </P>

other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-</FONT> U.S. entities. Under these rules, the failure to comply with additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements could result in withholding tax being imposed on
payments of dividends, interest and sales proceeds to U.S. holders who own our capital stock and indebtedness through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holders. Specifically, a
30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends and interest, and, after December&nbsp;31, 2018 (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below), gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of capital stock
and indebtedness paid to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> entity, unless (i)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations or
(ii)&nbsp;the foreign <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. If the payee is a foreign
financial institution, it must enter into an agreement with the United States Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain
information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to certain other account holders. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules. </P>

discussion assumes the debt securities will be issued with no more than a <I>de minimis</I> amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P>

U.S. holders of debt securities will be required to include stated interest on the debt securities in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with their methods of accounting for tax purposes. Purchasers of debt securities
should be aware that the holding and disposition of debt securities may be affected by the market discount provisions of the Code. These rules generally provide that if a U.S. holder of a debt security purchases it at a market discount and
thereafter recognizes gain on a disposition of the debt security, including a gift or payment on maturity, the lesser of the gain or appreciation, in the case of a gift, and the portion of the market discount that accrued while the debt security was
held by the U.S. holder will be treated as ordinary interest income at the time of the disposition. For this purpose, a purchase at a market discount includes a purchase after original issuance at a price below the debt security&#146;s stated
principal amount. The market discount rules also provide that a U.S. holder who acquires a debt security at a market discount and who does not elect to include the market discount in income on a current basis may be required to defer a portion of
any interest expense that may otherwise be deductible on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt security until the U.S. holder disposes of the debt security in a taxable transaction. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. holder of a debt security acquired at a market discount may elect to include the market discount in
income as the discount on the debt security accrues, either on a straight line basis, or, if elected, on a constant interest rate basis. The current inclusion election, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired by the U.S.
holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. holder of a debt security elects to include market discount in income in accordance with the
preceding sentence, the foregoing rules with respect to the recognition of ordinary income on a sale or particular other dispositions of such debt security and the deferral of interest deductions on indebtedness related to such debt security would
not apply. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. holders that use an accrual method of accounting generally are required to include amounts in income no later than the time such amounts
are reflected as revenue on such financial statements. Recently issued proposed regulations provide that original issue discount and market discount will not be subject to these special timing rules. U.S. holders that use an accrual method of
accounting should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of these rules to their particular situation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amortizable Bond
Premium</I>. Generally, if the tax basis of a debt security held as a capital asset exceeds the amount payable at maturity of the debt security, the excess may constitute amortizable bond premium that the U.S. holder may elect to amortize under the
constant interest rate method and deduct the amortized premium over the period from the U.S. holder&#146;s acquisition date to the debt security&#146;s maturity date. A U.S. holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the tax basis in the
related debt security by the amount of the aggregate deductions allowable for amortizable bond premium. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amortizable bond premium deduction is treated
as an offset to interest income on the related security for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of the treatment of this premium as an offset to interest income
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payments in Excess of Stated Interest and Principal</I>. In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to make
payments in excess of stated interest and the principal amount of the debt securities. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement pursuant to which any such debt securities are issued, we intend to take the position that the debt
securities should not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments because of these additional payments. This position is based in part on assumptions regarding the likelihood, as of the date of issuance of the debt securities, that such
additional amounts will have to be paid. Assuming such position is respected, any amounts paid to a U.S. holder pursuant to any such redemption or repurchase, as applicable, would be taxable as described below in &#147;&#151;U.S.
Holders&#151;Disposition.&#148; This position is binding on a U.S. holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. The IRS, however, may take a position contrary to NHI&#146;s
position, which could affect the timing and character of a U.S. holder&#146;s income and the timing of deductions with respect to the debt securities. U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to
our debt securities of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Disposition</I>. In general, a holder of a debt
security will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption, payment upon maturity or other taxable disposition of the debt security. The gain or loss is measured by the difference between (a)&nbsp;the amount of cash and the fair market
value of property received and (b)&nbsp;the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in the debt security as increased by any market discount previously included in income by the U.S. holder and decreased by any amortizable bond premium deducted over the term
of the debt security. However, the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property received excludes cash or other property attributable to the payment of accrued interest not previously included in income, which amount will be taxable as
ordinary income. Subject to the market discount and amortizable bond premium rules described above, any gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss, provided the debt security was a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. holder and
had been held for more than one year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> Holders </B></P>

Any agent may, and if acting as agent in an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;at-the-market&#148;</FONT></FONT> equity offering will, be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities
Act, of the offered securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders, we may enter into a standby
underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. Additionally, before the expiration date for the subscription
rights, the standby underwriters may offer the securities, including securities they may acquire through the purchase and exercise of subscription rights, on a when-issued basis at prices set from time to time by them. After the expiration date, the
standby underwriters may offer the securities, whether acquired under the standby underwriting agreement, on exercise of subscription rights or by purchase in the market, to the public at prices to be determined by them. Thus, standby underwriters
may realize profits or losses independent of the underwriting discounts or commissions we may pay them. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us. Any
dealer-manager we retain may acquire securities by purchasing and exercising the subscription rights and resell the securities to the public at prices it determines. As a result, a dealer-manager may realize profits or losses independent of any
dealer-manager fee paid by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to solicit from third parties offers to purchase securities under
contracts providing for payment and delivery on future dates. The third parties with whom we may enter into contracts of this kind may include banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions,
and others. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the material terms of these contracts, including any conditions to the purchasers&#146; obligations and will include information about any commissions we may pay for soliciting these
contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately
negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale
transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those
derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). </P>

in connection with the offering, thus creating a short position in their account. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the offered securities by underwriters in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to
cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing and syndicate covering transactions may cause the price of the offered securities to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions, if commenced, may be
