Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things&#59; the operating success of our tenants, managers and borrowers for collection of our lease and interest income&#59; the risk that our tenants, managers and borrowers may become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings&#59; risks related to the concentration of a significant percentage of our portfolio to a small number of tenants&#59; risks associated with pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks on our operators&#8217; business and results of operations&#59; risks related to governmental regulations and payors, principally Medicare and Medicaid, and the effect that changes to laws, regulations and reimbursement rates would have on our tenants&#8217; and borrowers&#8217; business&#59; the risk that the cash flows of our tenants, managers and borrowers may be adversely affected by increased liability claims and liability insurance costs&#59; the risk that we may not be fully indemnified by our tenants, managers and borrowers against future litigation&#59; the success of property development and construction activities, which may fail to achieve the operating results we expect&#59; the risk that the illiquidity of real estate investments could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties&#59; risks associated with our investments in unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on the financial condition of other interests&#59; risks related to our joint venture investment with Life Care Services for Timber Ridge&#59; inflation and increased interest rates&#59; adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions&#59; operational risks with respect to our SHOP structured communities, risks related to our ability to maintain the privacy and security of Company information&#59; risks related to environmental laws and the costs associated with liabilities related to hazardous substances&#59; the risk of damage from catastrophic weather and other natural or man-made disasters and the physical effects of climate change&#59; the success of our future acquisitions and investments&#59; our ability to reinvest cash in real estate investments in a timely manner and on acceptable terms&#59; competition for acquisitions may result in increased prices for properties&#59; our ability to retain our management team and other personnel and attract suitable replacements should any such personnel leave&#59; the risk that our assets may be subject to impairment charges&#59; our ability to raise capital through equity sales is dependent, in part, on the market price of our common stock, and our failure to meet market expectations with respect to our business, or other factors we do not control, could negatively impact such market price and availability of equity capital&#59; the potential need to refinance existing debt or incur additional debt in the future, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us&#59; our ability to meet covenants related to our indebtedness which impose certain operational limitations and a breach of those covenants could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations&#59; downgrades in our credit ratings could have a material adverse effect on our cost and availability of capital&#59; we rely on external sources of capital to fund future capital needs, and if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future investments necessary to grow our business or meet maturing commitments&#59; our dependence on revenues derived mainly from fixed rate investments in real estate assets, while a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates&#59; our ability to pay dividends in the future&#59; legislative, regulatory, or administrative changes&#59; and our dependence on the ability to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust and other risks which are described under the heading &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in Item 1A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
