COVID-19—The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United States, to impose measures intended to reduce its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business limitations and closures (subject to exceptions for essential operations and businesses), quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. Although most of these governmental restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, resurgences of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants thereof have resulted in the reimposition of certain restrictions and may lead to other restrictions being reimplemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances and the related adverse impact these restrictions have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the economy generally and the Company’s business, results of operations and financial ~~condition may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

condition. The duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance, and the operational and financial performance of the Company’s tenants, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the rate of public acceptance and usage of vaccines and the effectiveness of vaccines in limiting the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, resurgences of COVID-19 and, in particular, new and more contagious and/or vaccine resistant variants, actions taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

5.6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. GAAP guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and, depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or

liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (dollars in thousands):

Mezzanine loan receivable: The fair value of the mezzanine loan receivable was estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows of the investment, the underlying collateral value, market interest rates and other credit enhancements. As such, the Company classifies the instrument as Level 3 due to the significant unobservable inputs used in determining market interest rates for investments with similar terms. Future changes in market interest rates could materially impact the estimated discounted ~~cash~~cash flows. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company did 0tnot have any loans measured at fair value that were 90 days or more past due.

For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there were no classification changes in assets and liabilities with Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The 2025 Notes were issued at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $300.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $294.0 million after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. The 2025 Notes were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2025 and bore interest at a rate of 5.25% per year. Interest on the 2025 Notes was payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. On July 1, 2021, the Issuers redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. See Note 12, ~~Subsequent Events,~~ ~~for additional information.~~

~~2028 Senior Notes.~~ ~~On June 17, 2021, the Issuers~~ completed a private offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $400.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $393.8 million after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. The Notes mature on June 30, 2028. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021.

The Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to March 30, 2028 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. At any time on or after March 30, 2028, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, at any time on or prior to June 30, 2024, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 103.875% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, an issuing bank and swingline lender, and the lenders party thereto (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the Company’s prior credit agreement, provides for: (i) an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, including a letter of credit subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and a swingline loan subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and (ii) an unsecured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Amended Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility is subject to no default or event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement having occurred at the time of borrowing. ~~The proceeds of the Term Loan were used, in part, to repay in full all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s prior term loan and revolving facility under its prior credit agreement.~~ Future borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility will be used for working capital purposes, for capital expenditures, to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

The interest rates applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.55% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.55% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). The interest rates applicable to loans under the Term Loan are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.20% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.20% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). In addition, the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Revolving Facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (unless the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt and the Operating Partnership elects to decrease the applicable margin as described above, in which case the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum based on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior long-term unsecured debt). As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership had ~~$200.0~~$200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan and $~~50.0~~105.0 million ~~of borrowings~~ outstanding under the Revolving Facility. ~~Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the Revolving Facility. See Note 12,~~ ~~Subsequent Events~~ ~~for additional information.~~

The Revolving Facility has a maturity date of February 8, 2023, and includes, at the sole discretion of the Operating Partnership, 2, six-month extension options. The Term Loan has a maturity date of February 8, 2026.

The Amended Credit Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries that are party to the Amended Credit Agreement (other than the Operating Partnership). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, amend organizational documents and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, consisting of a maximum debt to asset value ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum cash distributions to operating income ratio, a maximum secured debt to asset value ratio, a maximum secured recourse debt to asset value ratio, a maximum unsecured debt to unencumbered properties asset value ratio, a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio and a minimum rent coverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under the Amended Credit Facility or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy certain covenants (including the financial maintenance covenants), the occurrence of change of control and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

~~who had unvested shares~~As of ~~restricted stock were given one share of CareTrust REIT unvested restricted stock totaling 207,580 shares at~~March 31, 2022, the ~~Spin-Off. These restricted shares were subject to a time~~weighted-average remaining vesting provision only and the Company did not recognize any stock compensation expense associated with these awards. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 1,760 shares were forfeited. At June 30, 2021, there were 0 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding.

In January 2021 and February 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) granted 140,514 and 99,189 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to officers and employees. Each share had a fair market value on the date of grant of $22.48 and $22.18 per share, respectively, based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date, and the shares vest in 3 equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

In January 2021, the Compensation Committee granted 108,414 performance stock awards to officers. Each share had a fair market value on the date of grant of $22.48 per share, based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Performance stock awards are subject to both time and performance based conditions and vest over a ~~one-to three-year period. The amount~~period of such ~~performance~~ awards that will ultimately vest is dependent on the Company’s Normalized Funds from Operations per share, as defined by the Compensation Committee, meeting or exceeding a specified per share amount for the applicable vesting period.

Additionally, in February 2021, the Compensation Committee granted 99,189 performance stock awards to officers. Each share had an estimated fair market value on the date of grant of $27.98 per share. Performance stock awards are subject to both time and performance based conditions and cliff vest after a three-year period. The amount of such performance awards that will ultimately vest is dependent on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to a custom TSR peer group consisting of 16 other publicly traded healthcare REITs and will range from 0% to 200% of the TSR awards initially granted. Compensation expense for awards with performance-based vesting conditions is recognized based upon the grant date fair value per share multiplied by the estimated number of performance stock awards to be earned after considering the Company’s expectation of future performance and is recognized provided that the requisite service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur.

The fair value of the TSR-based performance stock awards is estimated on the date of the grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the expected performance period. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility for the most recent 2.84 year period ending on the grant date for the Company and the selected TSR peer group, and is calculated on a daily basis. The following are the key assumptions used in this valuation:

~~Risk-free interest rate~~

~~0.27~~

~~Expected stock price volatility~~

~~52.93~~

~~Expected service period~~

~~2.84 years~~

~~Expected dividend yield (assuming full reinvestment)~~

In April 2021, the Compensation Committee granted 20,266 shares of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Each share had a fair market value on the date of grant of $24.18 per share, based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date, and the shares vest in full on the earlier to occur of April 30, 2022 or the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.was 1.6 years.

~~10.~~11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are and may become from time to time a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, which are not individually or in the aggregate anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability asserted against the Company’s tenants, which are the responsibility of the Company’s tenants and for which the Company is entitled to be indemnified by its tenants under the insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases.

Capital expenditures for each property leased under the Company’s triple-net leases are generally the responsibility of the tenant, except that, for the facilities leased to subsidiaries of Ensign and ~~The~~ Pennant, ~~Group, Inc. (“Pennant”),~~ the tenant will have an option to require the Company to finance certain capital expenditures up to an aggregate of 20% of the Company’s initial investment in such property, subject to a corresponding rent increase at the time of funding. For the Company’s other triple-net master leases, ~~subject to approval by the Company,~~ the tenants ~~may~~also have the option to request capital expenditure funding that would generally be subject to a corresponding rent increase at the time of funding, ~~and~~ which are subject to tenant compliance with the conditions to the Company’s approval and funding of their requests. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had committed to fund ~~certain~~expansions, construction and capital improvements at certain triple-net leased facilities totaling ~~$13.1~~$5.5 million, of which ~~$11.6~~$4.4 million is subject to rent increase at the time of funding.

~~11. CONCENTRATION OF RISK~~

~~Major operator concentrations~~ – As of June 30, 2021, Ensign leased 93 skilled nursing, multi-service campuses, assisted living and independent living facilities which had a total of 9,907 beds and units and are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington. The 4 states in which Ensign leases the highest concentration of properties by rental revenues as of June 30, 2021 are Texas, California, Arizona and Utah. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ensign represented 31% and 32%, respectively, of the Company’s rental income,

~~Senior Unsecured Notes Payable~~

On July 1, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), the Issuers redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $10.8 million, including a prepayment penalty of approximately $7.9 million and an approximately $2.9 million write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of the 2025 Notes.

~~Recent Acquisition and Amended Lease Agreement~~

In August 2021, the Company acquired 2 skilled nursing facilities for approximately $32.5 million, which includes estimated capitalized acquisition costs. The facilities were leased to affiliates of Ensign. In conjunction with the acquisition of the 2 facilities, the Company amended and extended the initial term of an existing triple-net master lease with Ensign to include the 2 skilled nursing facilities. The Ensign lease, as amended, has a remaining initial term of approximately 17 years, with 3 five-year renewal options and CPI-based rent escalators. Annual cash rent under the amended lease increased by approximately $2.2 million, with GAAP rent increasing by $2.5 million due to a $5.0 million prepayment of rent made at closing, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Operating Partnership drew on the Revolving Facility to fund the acquisition.

~~Asset Held for Sale~~

In August 2021, the Company met the held for sale criteria on 1 assisted living facility operated by affiliates of Noble Senior Services, and is in the process of estimating its fair value, which is expected to be below the net carrying value of $4.9 million. The associated impairment loss is expected to be recorded in the quarter ending September 30, 2021.

Overview

CareTrust REIT is a self-administered, publicly-traded REIT engaged in the ownership, acquisition, financing, development and leasing of skilled nursing, seniors housing and other healthcare-related properties. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned and leased to independent operators, ~~223~~228 skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), multi-service campuses, assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) and independent living facilities (“ILFs”) consisting of ~~23,301~~23,834 operational beds and units located in 2829 states with the highest concentration of properties by rental revenues located in California, Texas, Louisiana, Idaho and Arizona. AsAs of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we also had other real estate investments consisting of one mezzanine loan receivable with a carrying value of ~~$15.2 million~~.$15.2 million.

We generate revenues primarily by leasing healthcare-related properties to healthcare operators in triple-net lease arrangements, under which the tenant is solely responsible for the costs related to the property (including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs and capital expenditures, subject to certain exceptions in the case of properties leased to Ensign and Pennant). From time to time, we also extend secured mortgage loans to healthcare operators, secured by healthcare-related properties, and secured mezzanine loans to healthcare operators, secured by membership interests in healthcare-related properties. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment for internal reporting and internal decision-making

purposes. We expect to grow our portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional properties that will be leased to a diverse group of local, regional and national healthcare providers, which may include new or existing skilled nursing operators, as well as seniors housing operators, behavioral health facilities and related businesses. We also anticipate diversifying our portfolio over time, including by acquiring properties in different geographic markets, and in different asset classes. In addition, we actively

~~Table of Contents~~

monitor the clinical, regulatory and financial operating results of our tenants, and work to identify opportunities within their operations and markets that could improve their operating results at our facilities. We communicate such observations to our tenants; however, we have no contractual obligation to do so. Moreover, our tenants have sole discretion with respect to the day-to-day operation of the facilities they lease from us, and how and whether to implement any observation we may share with them. We also actively monitor the overall occupancy, skilled mix, and other operating metrics of our tenants on at least a monthly basis including, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, any stimulus funds received by each tenant. We have replaced tenants in the past, and may elect to replace tenants in the future, if they fail to meet the terms and conditions of their leases with us. The replacement tenants may include tenants with whom we have had no prior landlord-tenant relationship as well as current tenants with whom we are comfortable expanding our relationships. We have also provided select tenants with strategic capital for facility upkeep and modernization, as well as short-term working capital loans when they are awaiting licensure and certification or conducting turnaround work in one or more of our properties, and we may continue to do so in the future. In addition, we periodically reassess the investments we have made and the tenant relationships we have entered into, and have selectively disposed of facilities or investments, or terminated such relationships, and we expect to continue making such reassessments and, where appropriate, taking such actions.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 and Market Conditions Update

Tenants of our properties operating pursuant to triple-net master leases have been adversely impacted, and we expect that they will continue to be adversely impacted, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our tenants are experiencing increased operating costs as a result of actions they are taking to prevent or mitigate the outbreak or spread of COVID-19 at their facilities, including in connection with their implementation of safety protocols and procedures and other regulatory requirements. ~~To help offset these costs as well as~~Our tenants are also experiencing labor shortages resulting in limited admissions, reduced occupancy ~~declines, various relief programs have been enacted by federal~~ and ~~state governments, including the~~higher agency expense.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which have provided, and we expect will continue to provide some benefits to our tenants subject to the programs’ respective terms and conditions (the “Provider Relief Funds”). The estimated federal and state relief ~~approved, received and retained to date by our operators, as reported by our operators, is approximately $132.2 million.~~ ~~At June 30, 2021, two of our operators who received Provider Relief Funds have disclosed that they have returned all or a portion of the Provider Relief Funds issued to them.~~

At a portfolio wide level, occupancy levels at our seniors housing facilities remained relatively stable from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic until the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020, ~~during~~at which time we began to see a decline. This decline ~~and~~in occupancy ~~levels declined further in~~continued through the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 then remained flat through the fourth quarter of 2021. Seniors housing occupancy modestly increased during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Occupancy levels at our ~~skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”),~~SNFs, which declined at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued to decline through January 2021, ~~have~~had been on a ~~steady~~slow incline ~~since~~from February ~~2021 and continued~~through December 2021. SNF occupancy held stable during the first quarter of 2022 compared to ~~increase through~~ the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2021. Beginning in early 2020, the federal government temporarily suspended the three-day hospital stay requirement for a patient’s Medicare benefits to refresh. Providers can now “skill in place,” eliminating the risk of transferring the patient to the hospital. Because of ~~this~~the temporary ~~rule change,~~waiver of the three-day hospital stay requirement, overall skilled mix remained slightly elevated in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the pre-pandemic skilled mix during the three months ended March 31, 2020. An increase in skilled mix can, but may not necessarily, offset some or all of the adverse financial impact to the operator of the SNF from a decline in occupancy. However, the skilled mix in our SNFs during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was lower than the peak level seen in December 2020, and we anticipate that the skilled mix in our SNFs will continue to decline as cases of COVID-19 ~~decline.~~decline or if the suspension of the three-day hospital stay requirement is lifted.

The ~~higher operating costs affecting our tenants,~~U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) recently renewed the ~~impact~~COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, which is currently set to be in force through July 2022, and that allows HHS to continue providing temporary regulatory waivers, including the waiver of ~~lower occupancy levels, have adversely impacted~~the three-day hospital stay requirement for a patient’s Medicare benefits to refresh. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and ~~may continue~~Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) included a temporary suspension of a 2% Medicare sequestration cut through the end of March 2022. Beginning April 1, 2022, a 1% sequestration cut went into effect through June 30, 2022 with the full 2% cut resuming thereafter. A temporary increase in Federal Medical Assistance Percentages, which was approved retroactive to ~~adversely impact the ability~~January 1, 2020, is effective through June 30, 2022.

The current limited availability or unavailability of ~~our tenants to satisfy their rental obligations to us in full or on a timely basis. Provider Relief Funds not~~grants and other funds being made available to our seniors housing facilities for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, as well as the tapering of grants and other funds for our SNFs, has also impacted some of our tenants’ ability to continue to meet some of their financial obligations, as they continue to experience lower occupancy levels and higher operating costs. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, one seniors housing operator failed to pay rent for July and proposed a rent deferral for the months of July, August and a portion of September under a plan that would bring all rent deferrals current by the end of 2021. We are currently considering their request. Approximately 100.0% of our contractual rent obligations due for the second quarter of 2021, and approximately 96.2% due for July 2021, have been collected from our tenants before considering any cash deposits on-hand from which we may offset any shortfalls in rent received.

~~A number of COVID-19 vaccines were issued emergency use authorization by the United States Food and Drug Administration.~~ As of August 5, 2021, based on information provided by operators who have reported such information to us, almost three-quarters of our operators’ residents have been fully vaccinated, while almost half of such operators’ staff have received at least one dose.

~~The duration and extent~~As a result of the foregoing impacts of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic’s effect~~pandemic, our tenants’ ability to continue to meet some of their financial obligations to us has been negatively impacted. See “Impairment of Real Estate Assets, Assets Held for Sale and Asset Sales” below. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we collected 94.9% of contractual rents due from our operators including cash deposits used to offset rent shortfalls, and 91.8% excluding cash deposits. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual obligations from four existing and former operators and, accordingly, we reversed $0.7 million of operating expense reimbursements, $0.2 million of contractual rent and $0.1 million of straight-line rent. In addition, we determined that the collectibility of contractual rents from two operators is not reasonably assured and we moved these two operators to a cash basis method of accounting during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Approximately 93.2% of our contractual rent obligations due for April 2022 have been collected and no cash deposits on hand were applied.

For more information regarding the potential impact of COVID-19 on our ~~operational~~business, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On April 11, 2022, the Centers for Medicare and ~~financial performance,~~Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a proposed rule that would decrease the aggregate net payment by 0.7% for fiscal year 2023. CMS estimates that the aggregate impact of the payment policies in the proposed rule would result in a decrease of approximately $320 million in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets, Assets Held for Sale and ~~the operational~~Asset Sales

In connection with our ongoing review and ~~financial~~monitoring of our investment portfolio and the performance of our tenants, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the rate of public acceptance and usage of vaccines and the effectiveness of vaccines in limiting the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, ~~resurgences of COVID-19 and, in particular, new and more contagious and/or vaccine resistant variants, actions taken~~we determined to contain the spread of COVID-19 and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition could be material.

~~Senior Notes Issuance and Redemption~~

On June 17, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, CTR Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, CareTrust Capital Corp. (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Issuers”) completed a private offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). See Note 12, ~~Subsequent Events,~~ ~~for additional information. The aggregate net proceeds from~~pursue the sale of 27 properties and repurposing three properties, representing an aggregate of approximately 10% of contractual cash rent as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we determined that these 27 properties met the ~~Notes were approximately $393.8~~criteria to be classified as assets held for sale and, in connection with this determination, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $59.7 million ~~after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. We used a portion~~related to 20 of the 27 held for sale properties, which is reported in impairment of real estate investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impairment charge was recognized to write down the properties’ aggregate carrying value to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As of March 31, 2022, the net ~~proceeds from~~book value of these 27 properties was $141.7 million.

During the first quarter of 2022, we determined that one ALF that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2021 no longer met the held for sale criteria. We reclassified this ALF’s carrying value of $4.8 million out of assets held for sale and recorded catch-up depreciation of approximately $0.1 million during the Notes to redeem all of the Issuers’ outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and the remaining proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility (as defined below).

On July 1, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), the Issuers redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of their outstanding 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were redeemed at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but not including, the Redemption Date.three months ended March 31, 2022.

~~Sale~~During the first quarter of ~~Real Estate and Asset Held for Sale~~

~~On February 1, 2021,~~2022, we closed on the sale of one ~~skilled nursing facility~~SNF consisting of 9083 beds located in Washington with a carrying value of ~~$7.2~~$0.8 million, for net sales proceeds of ~~$7.0~~$1.0 million. WeDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a ~~loss~~gain of $0.2 million in connection with the sale. ~~The facility was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020.~~

In August 2021, we met the held for sale criteria on one assisted living facility operated by affiliates of Noble Senior Services, and are in the process of estimating its fair value, which is expected to be below the net carrying value of $4.9 million. The associated impairment loss is expected to be recorded in the quarter ending September 30, 2021.

At-The-Market Offering of Common Stock

On March 10, 2020, we entered into a new equity distribution agreement to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $500.0 million in aggregate offering price of our common stock through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). In connection with the entry into the equity distribution agreement and the commencement of the ATM Program, our “at-the-market” equity offering program pursuant to our prior equity distribution agreement, dated as of March 4, 2019, was terminated (the “Prior ATM Program”).

Results of Operations

In the first quarter of 2022, we elected to discuss any material changes in our results of operations by comparing our most recently completed quarter to the immediately preceding sequential quarter, as permitted under the recently amended Item 303 of Regulation S-K. Because our business is not seasonal, we believe this comparison provides a more relevant and informative representation of the changes to our results of operations over time. For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we also continue to discuss any material changes in our results of operations for the most recently completed quarter compared to the corresponding prior year period pursuant to Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, to our stockholders on an annual basis. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly dividends to common stockholders from cash flow from operating activities. All such dividends are at the discretion of our board of directors.

AsOur short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of ~~June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalen~~operating and interest expenses directly associated with our properties, including:

•tsinterest expense and ~~restricted cash~~scheduled debt maturities on outstanding indebtedness;

•general and administrative expenses;

•dividend plans;

•operating lease obligations; and

•capital expenditures for improvements to our properties.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of ~~$311.0 million. The~~ ~~$309.2 million~~ ~~in restricted cash as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021 related to the cash deposited with the trustee~~funds necessary to pay ~~the redemption price of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were redeemed on July 1, 2021. See above under “Recent Developments”~~for acquisitions, capital expenditures, and ~~Note 12,~~ ~~Subsequent Events,~~ ~~for additional information.~~

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold 288,000 and 990,000 shares of common stock under our ATM Program for gross proceeds of $6.9 million and $23.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, we had $476.5 million available for future issuances under the ATM Program.

~~As of June 30, 2021, we also~~ ~~had $50.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $550.0 million of~~ availability remaining under the Revolving Facility (as defined below). We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, and the availability under the ATM Program and Amended Credit Facility (as defined below) will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt ~~service payments and projected dividend payments for at least the next twelve months.~~

maturities. We intend to invest in and/or develop additional healthcare and seniors housing properties as suitable opportunities arise and so long as adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in and/or development of properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, borrowings available to us under the Amended Credit Facility (as defined below), future borrowings or the proceeds from sales of shares of our common stock pursuant to our ATM Program or additional issuances of common stock or other securities. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions and refinancing of existing mortgage loans.

We believe that our expected operating cash flow from rent collections, interest payments on our other real estate investments, and borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility, together with our cash balance of $26.6 million, available borrowing capacity of $495.0 million under the Revolving Facility (as defined below) and availability under the ATM Program of $476.5 million, each at March 31, 2022, will be sufficient to meet ongoing debt service requirements, dividend plans, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other needs for at least the next 12 months. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs with cash flows from operations and financing arrangements. While we are currently pursuing the sale, re-tenanting or repurposing of certain of our assets in connection with our ongoing review and monitoring of our investment portfolio as described under “Recent Developments” above, we currently do not expect to sell any of our properties to meet liquidity needs, although we may do so in the future. Our quarterly cash dividend, any share repurchases under our Repurchase Program (as defined below) and any failure of our operators to pay rent may impact our available capital resources.

On March 20, 2020, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the Repurchase Program, which expires on March 31, 2023, may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, structured or derivative transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other methods of acquiring shares, in each case subject to market conditions and at such times as shall be permitted by applicable securities laws and determined by management. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may also be made pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We expect to finance any share repurchases under the Repurchase Program using available cash and may also use short-term borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Through March 31, 2022, we have not repurchased any shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program and, as

Table of Contents

of March 31, 2022, we had $150.0 million of remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time.

We have filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that expires in March 2023, which will allow us or certain of our subsidiaries, as applicable, to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units and debt securities through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, in one or more offerings on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering.

Although we are subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing common stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

We currently are in compliance with all debt covenants on our outstanding indebtedness.

The net increase of ~~$2.6~~$0.6 million in cash provided by operating activities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 is primarily due to increased rental payments as a result of new investments, ~~and a decrease in cash paid for interest on outstanding indebtedness due to lower weighted average interest rates,~~ partially offset by moving certain tenants to a ~~decrease in interest and other income due to the repayments~~cash basis method of ~~our other real estate investments~~accounting and an increase in cash paid for general and administrative expenses.

The Notes mature on June 30,~~ 2028. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

The indenture governing the Notes requires CareTrust REIT and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions. The indenture also contains customary events of default.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the indenture governing the Notes.

~~5.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 and Issuer and Guarantor Financial Information~~

On May 10, 2017, the Issuers completed a public offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes were issued at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $300.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $294.0 million after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. The 2025 Notes were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2025 and bore interest at a rate of 5.25% per year. Interest on the 2025 Notes was payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2017. On July 1, 2021, the Issuers redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. See ~~above under “Recent Developments” and~~ Note ~~12,~~7, ~~Subsequent Events,~~Debt, ~~for additional information.~~

The obligations under the 2025 Notes were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by CareTrust REIT (the “Parent Guarantor”) and all of CareTrust REIT’s existing and future subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that guaranteed obligations under the Amended Credit Facility; provided, however, that such guarantees were subject to automatic release under certain customary circumstances, including if the Subsidiary Guarantor was sold or sold all or substantially all of its assets, the Subsidiary Guarantor was designated “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of other indebtedness which resulted in the creation of the guarantee of the 2025 Notes was terminated or released, or the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indenture had been satisfied.

~~The~~ ~~following provides information regarding the entity structure of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the 2025 Notes:~~

CareTrust REIT, Inc. – The Parent Guarantor was formed on October 29, 2013 in connection with the separation of Ensign’s healthcare business and its real estate business into two separate and independent publicly traded companies (the “Spin-Off”). The Parent Guarantor was a wholly owned subsidiary of Ensign prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off on June 1, 2014. The Parent Guarantor has not conducted any operations or had any business since the Spin-Off.

CTR Partnership, L.P. and CareTrust Capital Corp. – The Issuers, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, were formed on May 8, 2014 and May 9, 2014, respectively, in anticipation of the Spin-Off and the related transactions. The Issuers did not conduct any operations or have any business prior to the date of the consummation of the Spin-Off related transactions. The Operating Partnership directly invests in real estate and real estate related assets and therefore does not rely solely on the cash flow generated by the Subsidiary Guarantors and their ability to make cash available to the Issuers, by dividend or otherwise. However, in the event that the earnings or available assets of the Issuers were insufficient, the Issuers’ ability to pay principal and interest on the 2025 Notes could have been dependent on the cash flow generated by the Subsidiary Guarantors and their ability to make such cash available to the Issuers. CareTrust Capital Corp., a co-issuer of the 2025 Notes, has no material assets and conducts no operations. Therefore, it had no independent ability to service the interest and principal obligations under the 2025 Notes.

Subsidiary Guarantors – The Subsidiary Guarantors consisted of all of the subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor other than the Issuers. The Parent Guarantor conducts a substantial portion of its business operations through the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The assets and liabilities and results of operations of the combined guarantors (the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors) and the Issuers of the 2025 Notes are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in our condensed consolidated financial ~~statements.~~

~~The indenture governing~~statements included in this report for further information about the 2025 Notes contained customary covenants such as limiting the ability of CareTrust REIT and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, and pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock, including a restriction on the ability of the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to the Issuers, subject to certain other exceptions, unless: (i) there was no default or event of default under the indenture; (ii) the

~~Table of Contents~~Notes.

Issuers were in compliance with specified limitations on indebtedness under the indenture; and (iii) the payments did not exceed a specified restricted payment basket. Dividends or distributions were also permitted if the Parent Guarantor’s board of directors believed in good faith they were necessary to maintain Parent Guarantor’s REIT status or to avoid any excise tax or income tax imposed on Parent Guarantor, provided there was no default or event of default under the indenture. Further, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries were not permitted to create or cause to become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of the Issuers to, among other things, pay dividends or make distributions, pay indebtedness, make loans or advances to the Issuers or their restricted subsidiaries or transfer property or assets to the Issuers or their restricted subsidiaries, other than in connection with certain customary exceptions such as in respect of the indenture or the Amended Credit Facility.

~~As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes.~~

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

~~On February 8, 2019, the Operating Partnership, as the borrower, the Company, as guarantor, CareTrust GP, LLC, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries entered into an~~Our amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, an issuing bank and swingline lender, and the lenders party thereto (the “Amended Credit Agreement”)~~. The Amended Credit Agreement~~ provides for: (i) an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, including a letter of credit subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and a swingline loan subfacility for 10% of the then available revolving commitments and (ii) an unsecured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Amended Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility is subject to no default or event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement having occurred at the time of borrowing. The proceeds of the Term Loan were used, in part, to repay in full all outstanding borrowings under our prior term loan and revolving facility under our prior credit agreement. Future borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility will be used for working capital purposes, for capital expenditures, to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $200.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan and $105.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility has a maturity date of February 8, 2023, and includes, at our sole discretion, two, six-month extension options. The Term Loan has a maturity date of February 8, 2026.

The interest rates applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.55% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.55% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of ~~the Company and its~~our consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if ~~the Company obtains~~we obtain certain specified investment grade ratings on ~~its~~our senior long-term unsecured debt). The interest rates applicable to loans under the Term Loan are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.20% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.20% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of ~~the Company and its~~our consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if ~~the Company obtains~~we obtain certain specified investment grade ratings on ~~its~~our senior long-term unsecured debt). In addition, the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Revolving Facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, based on the debt to asset value ratio of ~~the Company and its~~our consolidated subsidiaries (unless ~~the Company obtains~~we obtain certain specified investment grade ratings on ~~its~~our senior long-term unsecured debt and the Operating Partnership elects to decrease the applicable margin as described above, in which case the Operating Partnership will pay a facility fee on the revolving commitments ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum based off the credit ratings of ~~the Company’s~~our senior long-term unsecured debt). ~~As of June 30, 2021, we had $200.0 million outstanding under~~Interest payments on the Term Loan and ~~$50.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under our~~ Revolving Facility ~~to fund the acquisition of two SNFs in August 2021. See Note 12,~~ ~~Subsequent Events~~ ~~for additional information.~~are due monthly and facility fee payments are due quarterly.

~~The Revolving Facility has a maturity date of February 8, 2023, and includes, at our sole discretion, two, six-month extension options. The Term Loan has a maturity date of February 8, 2026.~~

The Amended Credit Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries that are party to the Amended Credit Agreement (other than the Operating Partnership). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, amend organizational documents and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, consisting of a maximum debt to asset value ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum cash distributions to operating income ratio, a maximum secured debt to asset value ratio, a maximum secured recourse debt to asset value ratio, a maximum unsecured debt to unencumbered properties asset value ratio, a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio and a minimum rent coverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains certain

~~Table of Contents~~

customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under the Amended Credit Facility or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy certain covenants (including the financial maintenance covenants), the occurrence of change of control and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for each property leased under our triple-net leases are generally the responsibility of the tenant, except that, for the facilities leased to subsidiaries of Ensign and Pennant, the tenant will have an option to require us to finance certain capital expenditures up to an aggregate of 20% of our initial investment in such property, subject to a corresponding rent increase at the time of funding. For our other triple-net master leases, subject to approval by us, the tenants may request capital expenditure funding that would generally be subject to a corresponding rent increase at the time of funding and which are subject to tenant compliance with the conditions to our approval and funding of their requests. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had committed toto fund ~~certain~~expansions, construction and capital improvements at certain triple-net leased facilities totaling ~~$13.1~~$5.5 million, of which ~~$11.6~~$4.4 million is subject to rent increase at the time of funding. We expect to fund the ~~majority of the funding of these commitments to be completed over~~capital expenditures in the next one to two years. See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further information regarding our obligation to finance certain capital expenditures under our triple-net leases.

Dividend Plans

We are required to pay dividends in order to maintain our REIT status and we expect to make quarterly dividend payments in cash with the annual dividend amount no less than 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. See Note 8, Equity, to our condensed consolidated

financial statements included in this report for a summary of the cash dividends per share of our common stock declared by our Board of Directors for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with ~~GAAP~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification, as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC

~~Table of Contents~~

on February ~~10, 2021,~~16, 2022, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes in such critical accounting policies during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our variable rate indebtedness.

Our Amended Credit Agreement provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million and an unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions.

The interest rates applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility are, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.55% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.55% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). The interest rates applicable to loans under the Term Loan are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.20% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.20% per annum based on the debt to asset value ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to decrease at the Operating Partnership’s election if the Company obtains certain specified investment grade ratings on its senior long-term unsecured debt). As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had a ~~$200.0~~$200.0 million Term Loan outstanding and had ~~$50.0~~$105.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us more costly as well as increase the costs of our variable rate debt obligations. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. Increased inflation may also have a pronounced negative impact on the interest expense we pay in connection with our outstanding indebtedness, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents.

In addition, the Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, has announced that the FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. However, for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the relevant date was deferred to June 30, 2023 for certain tenors (including overnight and one, three, six and 12 months), at which time the LIBOR administrator will cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR. Despite this deferral, the LIBOR administrator has advised that no new contracts using U.S. dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021. These actions indicate that the continuation of U.S. LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after June 30, 2023. Moreover, it is possible that U.S. LIBOR will be discontinued or modified prior to June 30, 2023. When LIBOR ceases to exist, we will need to enter into an amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and we cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with our lenders. If our lenders have increased costs due to changes in LIBOR, we may experience potential increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt, which could adversely impact our

Table of Contents

interest expense, results of operations and cash flows. Based on our outstanding debt balance as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 described above and the interest rates applicable to our outstanding debt at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, assuming a 100 basis point increase in the interest rates related to our variable rate debt, interest expense would have increased approximately ~~$1.3~~$0.8 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

We may, in the future, manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements. However, the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, substantially limit our ability to hedge our assets and liabilities. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT — Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities,” which is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had no swap agreements to hedge our interest rate risks. We also expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange ~~Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”))~~Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the

~~Table of Contents~~

desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
