Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 28, 2014, Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE:HTA) (“HTA”) and Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP (“HTALP”) entered into an amended and restated equity distribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Jefferies LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC for an offering of shares of Class A common stock of HTA from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million. This Agreement amends and restates the existing equity distribution agreement among HTA, HTALP and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, dated November 1, 2013, under which no sales have been made.

Sales under the Agreement are anticipated to be made primarily in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Sales may also be made in negotiated transactions. HTA intends to use any proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and investment in real estate. In addition, HTA may use a portion of any proceeds to pay certain outstanding long-term debt obligations. The Class A common stock will be offered under HTA’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185668), effective December 24, 2012.

The Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
