PROXY STATEMENT

Questions and Answers

1. Q: Why am I receiving these materials?

A: This Proxy Statement and enclosed forms of proxy (first mailed to shareholders who requested to receive printed Proxy Materials on or about April 26, 2022) are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Trustees for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment thereof. A Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials was first mailed to all of our other shareholders beginning on or about April 26, 2022. The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The Annual Meeting will be accessible via live audiocast on the internet. To participate at the Annual Meeting online, please visit www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59. For additional information on the virtual meeting review the instructions under the Q&A section entitled “How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?” below. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting online and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.

2. Q: What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

A: The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes: (1) elect two Class III Trustees, who will serve for a term of three years until the annual election of Trustees in the year 2025 or the election and qualification of their successors; (2) conduct an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation; (3) ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and (4) transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. We will also discuss our business and be available for your comments and discussion.

3. Q: Why did Shareholders receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of Proxy Materials?

A: In accordance with “notice and access” rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, we may furnish Proxy Materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to Shareholders, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the Proxy Materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to shareholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the Proxy Materials on the internet. Please visit www.edocumentview.com/UHT. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your Proxy on the internet. If you would like to receive a paper or e-mail copy of our Proxy Materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. 

4. Q: Who may attend the Annual Meeting?

A: All shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 11, 2022, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting online at www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59. For additional information on the virtual meeting review the Q&A below entitled “How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?”.

5. Q: How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?

A: We are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns our shareholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose as it relates to the current, ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted exclusively by a live webcast. No physical meeting will be held.

For registered shareholders: If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), then you are a shareholder of record (also known as a “record holder”). Shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online, ask a question and vote by visiting www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59 at the meeting date and time and entering the 15-digit control number located in the shaded bar of the proxy card or notice they received. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. Online access will begin at 9:45 a.m., Eastern Time.

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 1

Questions and Answers

For beneficial owners: If on the record date your shares were not registered directly in your name with Computershare but instead held by an intermediary, such as a bank, broker or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”. The organization holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting, vote and submit questions. To register in advance and vote at the meeting you will need to obtain a legal proxy from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Once you have received a legal proxy form from your bank, broker or other nominee, forward the email with your name and the legal proxy attached or send a separate email with your name and legal proxy attached labeled “Legal Proxy” in the subject line to Computershare, at legalproxy@computershare.com. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 3, 2022. You will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by email from Computershare. At the time of the meeting, go to www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59 and enter your control number. If you do not have your control number you may attend as a guest (non-shareholder) by going to www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59, clicking on the “Guest” link and entering the requested information. Please note that guest access in listen-only mode is also available, but you will not have the ability to ask questions or vote during the Annual Meeting.

6. Q: Do I need to register to attend the Annual Meeting virtually?

A: Registration is only required if you are a beneficial owner as set forth above.

7. Q: What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually?

A: The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. A link on the meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it, or you may call 1-888-724-2416.

8. Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A: Only shareholders as of the close of business on April 11, 2022 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 13,786,277 shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding.

9. Q: Who is soliciting my vote?

A: The principal solicitation of proxies is being made by our Board of Trustees by mail. Certain of our officers and employees and certain officers and employees of UHS of Delaware, Inc. (our “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”), or its affiliates, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone or other personal contact. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares. In addition, we may retain a third-party proxy solicitation service, to assist in the solicitation of proxies who may solicit proxies personally, by telephone and by mail.

10. Q: What items of business will be voted at the Annual Meeting?

A: The items of business that will be voted are: the election of two Class III Trustees, who will serve for a term of three years until the annual election of Trustees in the year 2025 or the election and qualification of their successors; an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation; and the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP, as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

11. Q: How does the Board of Trustees recommend that I vote?

A: The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote your shares FOR the nominees for Class III Trustees (Proposal No. 1).

The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote your shares FOR the approval of our named executive officer compensation (Proposal No. 2).

The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote your shares FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP, as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 3).

2 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Questions and Answers

12. Q: How will voting on any other business be conducted?

A: Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we know of no other business to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. As for any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, your signed proxy confers discretionary authority in the persons named therein. Those persons will vote or act in accordance with their best judgment.

13. Q: What is the difference between a “shareholder of record” and a “street name” holder?

A: These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., our transfer agent, you are a “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a “street name” holder.

14. Q: How do I vote my shares if I am a shareholder of record?

A: For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the instructions on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail or, if you received printed proxy materials, your enclosed proxy card. If you received printed proxy materials, you may vote by signing and dating each proxy card you receive and returning it in the enclosed prepaid envelope, or you may vote by telephone or internet. Unless otherwise indicated on the proxy, shares represented by any proxy will, if the proxy is properly executed and received by us prior to the Annual Meeting, be voted “FOR” the nominees for Trustee, “FOR” the approval of our named executive officer compensation, and “FOR” the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP, as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. You may also vote by telephone or internet.

15. Q: How do I vote by telephone or electronically?

A: Instead of submitting your vote by mail on the enclosed proxy card (if you received printed proxy materials), your vote can be submitted by telephone or electronically, via the internet. Please refer to the specific instructions set forth on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you received printed Proxy Materials, on the enclosed proxy card. For security reasons, our electronic voting system has been designed to authenticate your identity as a shareholder.

16. Q: How do I vote my shares if they are held in street name?

A: If your shares are held in street name, your broker or other nominee will provide you with a form seeking instruction on how your shares should be voted.

17. Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?

A: Yes. Any proxy executed and returned to us is revocable by delivering a later signed and dated proxy or other written notice to our Secretary at any time prior to its exercise. Your proxy is also subject to revocation if you are present at the meeting and choose to vote in person.

18. Q: How do I vote during the meeting?

A: If you have not already voted your shares in advance as described above, provided you are a registered shareholder or a registered beneficial shareholder with a control number, you will also be able to vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting by clicking on the “Vote” tab on the virtual meeting site. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of or during the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials.

19. Q: How do I ask questions during the meeting?

A: If you are attending the meeting as a shareholder of record or registered beneficial owner, questions can be submitted by accessing the virtual meeting site at www.meetnow.global/MFCWV59, entering your control number and clicking on the “Q&A” tab. Please note that guest access is in listen-only mode and you will not have the ability to ask questions or vote during the Annual Meeting.

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 3

Questions and Answers

20. Q: What are my voting choices and what is the vote required to approve each of the proposals?

A: The following chart describes the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the voting choices for each proposal, the vote required to elect trustees and to adopt each other proposal, and the manner in which votes will be counted:

Item of Business	Voting Options	Votes Required for Approval	Abstentions	Signed But Unmarked Proxy Cards	Broker Non- Votes
Proposal 1: Election of Trustees	For or withhold vote in respect of each nominee.	The vote of a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of the Class III Trustees. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a Trustee’s election exceeds the number of shares “withheld” from that Trustee. A nominee currently serving as a Trustee not receiving a majority of the votes cast will tender his or her resignation, promptly following certification of the shareholder vote, for consideration by the Nominating & Governance Committee.	Not applicable.	Count as votes FOR.	No broker discretion to vote.
Proposal 2: Advisory (Nonbinding) Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation	For, against, or abstain.	Affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at the meeting.	No effect on voting.	Count as votes FOR.	No broker discretion to vote.
Proposal 3: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm	For, against, or abstain.	Affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at the meeting.	No effect on voting.	Count as votes FOR.	Brokers have discretion to vote.

21. Q: What constitutes a “quorum”?

A: The shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting representing a majority of the total number of votes authorized to be cast by shares of beneficial interest then outstanding and entitled to vote on any question present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at any such meeting for action on such question. Proxies received but marked with instructions to withhold authority to vote or abstain from voting and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares to be considered present at the meeting.

22. Q: What are our voting rights?

A: Each share is entitled to one vote on the matters to be presented at the meeting.

23. Q: Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card or do not vote by internet or telephone?

A: If you are a registered shareholder and you do not sign and return your proxy card or do not vote by internet or telephone, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name and you do not issue instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares at its discretion on routine matters, but may not vote your shares on non-routine matters.

Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, the proposals relating to the election of the Trustees and the advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation are deemed to be non-routine matters with respect to which brokers and nominees may not exercise their voting discretion without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

4 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Questions and Answers

24. Q: What is a “broker non-vote”?

A: “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Under the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, member brokers generally may not vote shares held by them in street name for customers unless they are permitted to do so under the rules of any national securities exchange of which they are a member. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange-member brokers who hold shares in street name for their customers and have transmitted our proxy solicitation materials to their customers, but do not receive voting instructions from such customers, are not permitted to vote on non-routine matters.

Since the election of the Trustees and the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation are non-routine matters, a broker may not turn in a proxy card voting shares without receiving instructions from you.

25. Q: What is the effect of a broker non-vote?

A: Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but will not be considered present and entitled to vote on any matter for which a broker, bank or other nominee does not have authority. For the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote for you without instruction only with respect to Proposal 3 regarding the ratification of KPMG LLP. A broker non-vote will not have any impact on the outcome of any other proposals.

26. Q: Who will count the votes?

A: Our Secretary will count the votes and serve as inspector of elections.

27. Q: When are shareholder proposals and trustee nominees due for the 2023 Annual Meeting?

A: Shareholder Proposals Submitted Pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 for Inclusion in Next Year’s Proxy Statement. Shareholder proposals intended to be included in the proxy materials for the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by us no later than December 27, 2022. Such proposals should be sent in writing by courier or certified mail to the Secretary of the Trust at 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406. Shareholder proposals that are sent to any other person or location or by any other means may not be received in a timely manner. The proposal will also need to comply with the SEC’s regulations under Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company sponsored proxy materials.

Trustee Nominations for Inclusion in Next Year’s Proxy Statement (Proxy Access). Our bylaws permit a shareholder, or group of up to 20 shareholders, owning 3% or more of the Trust’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Trust’s proxy materials trustees constituting up to 20% of the board, provided that such nominating shareholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified therein for a nomination pursuant to the proxy access provisions, including timely submission of a notice of such a nomination to the Secretary of the Trust at its principal executive office (no earlier than 150 days and no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date that the Trust mailed its proxy statement for the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders) that contains certain information specified in our bylaws. Any shareholder who wishes to use these procedures to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Trustees for inclusion in the Trust’s proxy materials relating to the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders must satisfy the requirements specified in our bylaws and must provide written notice to the Secretary of the Trust at 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406, which must be received not earlier than November 27, 2022 and not later than December 27, 2022. However, if our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders is held more than 30 days before or after June 8, 2023, then the Secretary must receive this notice by the later of the 150th day prior to such annual meeting and the tenth day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Trust.

Other Shareholder Business for Presentation at Next Year’s Annual Meeting For a shareholder proposal that is not intended to be included in the proxy materials for the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, or if you want to nominate a person for election as a trustee outside of the proxy access process described in the paragraph above, you must provide written notice to the Secretary of the Trust at 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406. The Secretary must receive this notice not earlier than February 8, 2023 and not later than March 10, 2023. However, if our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders is held more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after June 8, 2023, then the Secretary must receive this notice not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th

A copy of the bylaw requirements will be provided upon request to the Secretary at the address above.

28. Q: Can I receive more than one set of Annual Meeting materials?

A: If you share an address with another shareholder, each shareholder may not receive a separate copy of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to any shareholder upon written or oral request to our Secretary at Universal Health Realty Income Trust, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, telephone (610) 265-0688.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

Election of Two Trustees

We were organized under the laws of the State of Maryland as a real estate investment trust on August 6, 1986. Pursuant to our Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have been divided into three classes, with staggered terms. The terms of the Trustees in Class III expire at this meeting, the terms of the Trustees in Class I will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting and the terms of the Trustees in Class II will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting. At each Annual Meeting, Trustees are elected for a term of three years to succeed those in the class whose term is expiring at such Annual Meeting.

The persons listed below include our Board of Trustees and nominees. The terms of the current Class III Trustees, Messrs. Michael Allan Domb and James P. Morey, expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The nominees for the Class III Trustees are Michael Allan Domb and James P. Morey. They have been nominated to be elected for a three-year term that expires at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The Trustees have no reason to believe that the nominees will be unavailable for election; however, if a nominee becomes unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted for the person, if any, who is designated by the Board of Trustees to replace the nominee. The nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected.

Pursuant to our Declaration of Trust, a majority of our Trustees must be “Independent Trustees” with each class of Trustees containing at least one Independent Trustee. The Declaration of Trust defines an “Independent Trustee” as a Trustee who is not an affiliate of UHS, the parent company of our Advisor, and does not perform any services for us, except as Trustee. The vote of a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of the Class III Trustees. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a Trustee’s election exceeds the number of shares “withheld” from that Trustee. A nominee currently serving as a Trustee not receiving a majority of the votes cast will tender his or her resignation, promptly following certification of the shareholder vote, for consideration by the Nominating & Governance Committee.

The Board of Trustees believes that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of Trustees to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board has one female member and has refreshed the Board by replacing 75% of the Independent Trustees of the Board (comprising 50% of the Board) within the last five years. The Board believes that it is important to further increase the diversity of the Board. In that regard the Board of Trustees has decided to pursue adding a member of an underrepresented minority group to the Board. The executive recruiter of our Advisor has recently commenced the candidate search.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation

Pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are asking you to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below, the compensation tables below, and any related narrative discussion contained in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

As a result of shareholder feedback received in recent years, we made several significant changes to our disclosures, as provided in this Proxy Statement, in Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the caption Disclosures Regarding Advisory Fee, Elements of Compensation from our Advisor (UHS subsidiary) to our NEOs, Stock-based Compensation from UHT to our NEOs and Comparison of Our Advisory Fee and Other General and Administrative Expenses to Selected Healthcare REIT Peer Group.

These enhanced disclosures were designed to:

• Improve disclosure of the Advisory Fee calculation

• Enhance transparency of the executive compensation program of our Advisor (UHS)

• Convert restricted stock grants to performance-based awards

These enhanced disclosures increased our shareholders’ support for our Say on Pay vote to 92% during each of the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years (as tabulated at the June, 2021 and June, 2020 annual meetings, respectively), from 65% support from our shareholders for the 2018 fiscal year (as tabulated at the June, 2019 annual meeting).

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking the shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Trust’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Trust’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Trust’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion contained in this Proxy Statement.”

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required for approval of the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation. For purposes of the vote on Proposal No. 2, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

The “say-on-pay” vote is advisory and will not be binding upon the Trust, the Board of Trustees or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future named executive officer compensation arrangements.

KPMG LLP has served as our independent registered public accountants since 2002. If a favorable vote is not obtained, the Audit Committee may reconsider the selection of KPMG LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select different independent auditors if it subsequently determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Trust and its shareholders.

KPMG LLP representatives will attend the Annual Meeting and respond to questions where appropriate. Such representatives may make a statement at the Annual Meeting should they so desire.

Shareholder Approval

We are submitting the selection of the independent registered public accountants for shareholder ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. Ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accountants by the shareholders requires that the votes cast in favor of ratification exceed the votes cast opposing ratification. If a favorable vote is not obtained, the Audit Committee may reconsider the selection of KPMG LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select different independent auditors if it subsequently determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Trust and its shareholders. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies will be voted FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

Disclosures Regarding Advisory Fee, Elements of Compensation from our Advisor (UHS subsidiary) to our NEOs, Stock-based Compensation from UHT to our NEOs and Comparison of Our Advisory Fee and Other General and Administrative Expenses to Selected Healthcare REIT Peer Group

As a result of shareholder feedback received in recent years, we made several significant changes to our disclosures as outlined below. These enhanced disclosures were designed to:

• Improve disclosure of the Advisory Fee calculation

• Enhance transparency of the executive compensation program of our Advisor (UHS)

• Convert restricted stock grants to performance-based awards

These enhanced disclosures increased our shareholders’ support for our Say on Pay vote to 92% during each of the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years (as tabulated at the June, 2021 and June, 2020 annual meetings, respectively), from 65% support from our shareholders for the 2018 fiscal year (as tabulated at the June, 2019 annual meeting).

	Advisory Fee Computed at 0.70% of UHT’s Average Invested Real Estate Assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheets

“Average Invested Real Estate Assets” for Advisory Fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, base and bonus rent receivables, deferred charges, and other assets.

Allocation of Advisory Fee + UHT Stock-Based Compensation Expense

16 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation

As described more fully below, for estimation and analyses purposes, a portion of the Advisory Fee could be attributed to NEO compensation. We do not pay salary or other cash compensation to our NEOs. For illustrative purposes only, we estimated that $1,152,000 of the Advisory Fee for 2021 could be attributed to salaries ($757,000) and cash incentive bonus ($395,000) expense incurred by the Advisor in connection with the NEOs.

The chief element of our compensation program is the annual granting of long-term incentive awards, as discussed in greater detail below. On June 2, 2021, we granted shares of restricted stock to each of our NEOs which had an aggregate grant date value of $558,464. These shares vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant. As discussed below in Long-Term Incentives, the restricted share grants awarded in June, 2021 were determined based upon performance metrics which compared UHT’s 3-year average total shareholder return for 2018 through 2020 to the 3-year average total shareholder return for our peer group and the average for the NAREIT Index.

The remainder of the Advisory Fee could be attributed to various other operating expenses incurred by the Advisor on our behalf including, but not limited to, salaries of other employees of the Advisor that routinely provide services on our behalf (approximately 20 individuals), benefits expense, lease and rental expense, salaries expense for additional employees of the Advisor that, from time-to-time, and as warranted, provide services on our behalf and all other general and administrative expenses.

Elements of Compensation from our Advisor (UHS subsidiary) to our NEOs

UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, among other things, provides administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. Our officers are all employees of the Advisor and although as of December 31, 2021 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards directly from UHT (as discussed below) in the form of performance based restricted stock. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive special compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses. There were no special compensation awards made in 2021, 2020 or 2019.

In return for the above-mentioned services, we pay an Advisory Fee to the Advisor. While each of our NEOs dedicates a significant portion of their time and effort to rendering services on our behalf, the Advisory Fee ($4.4 million for 2021) represents an extremely small portion of UHS’s pre-tax income (approximately 0.3% for 2021). The aggregate compensation our NEOs earned from UHS during 2021 exceeded our Advisory Fee. As a result, our Advisor (UHS) does not directly attribute any portion of the compensation expense it incurs for our NEOs, to services provided by those individuals on our behalf.

Estimated salary and cash incentive bonus allocation assumptions:

Since, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisory Fee is derived from our consolidated balance sheet, the nature of amount of the various underlying operating expenses incurred by the Advisor, including compensation paid to our named executive officers, is not determinable and not related to the amount of the Advisory Fee. However, for illustrative purposes only, based upon a calculation that includes certain assumptions and estimates related to the portion of time spent by each of our four named executive officers while directly providing services on our behalf, as well as certain other estimation assumptions, we estimate that an aggregate of $1,152,000 of our Advisory Fee for 2021 could be allocated to salaries and cash incentive bonus expense incurred by the Advisor in connection with those individuals as follows:

• We estimate that $757,000 of our Advisory Fee for 2021 could be attributed to salaries expense incurred by the Advisor in connection with our four named executive officers. This estimate can vary substantially from year-to-year based upon the relative level of our acquisitions, divestitures and other business activities. The estimate is based upon a portion of the fixed salaries paid by the Advisor to of our named executive officers for services provided on our behalf.

• In addition, we estimate that approximately $395,000 of our Advisory Fee for 2021 could be attributed to cash incentive bonus expense incurred by the Advisor in connection with our four named executive officers. The cash bonus estimation methodology is discussed below.

Variable/incentive stock-based compensation assumptions:

The estimates above do not include any portion of variable/incentive stock-based compensation awarded by the Advisor to these individuals since, as discussed below, those awards made by the Advisor to each individual are entirely measured and based upon stock performance metrics related only to UHS. Therefore, no portion of the variable/incentive stock-based

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 17

Executive Compensation

compensation awarded by the Advisor to our named executive officers is attributable to services provided by those individuals on our behalf. Rather, the stock-based incentive compensation awarded to these individuals for their services rendered on behalf of UHT occurs in the form of performance based restricted stock grants awarded directly from UHT, as mentioned above, which had a grant date value of $558,464 for 2021.

Enhanced Disclosure on Elements of Compensation from our Advisor to our NEOs

As a result of suggestions received from our shareholders, we are providing the information below as an additional means for our shareholders to fully evaluate the Advisor’s executive compensation program for the purpose of making an informed decision related to the Say on Pay vote.

The Advisor has provided the information below in connection with the compensation expense it incurred for our NEOs for 2021. During the year, each of our four NEOs received, from our Advisor, a base salary, cash incentive bonus, incentive stock-based compensation awards, pension benefits and other compensation (if applicable).

Pay Element	Aggregate paid by UHS		Estimated Compensation Attributed to UHT		Calculation Assumptions Used
Salary	$	2,156,000	$	757,000	Estimated portion of time spent by each of our four named executive officers while directly providing services on our behalf.
Cash Incentive Bonuses	$	1,459,000	$	395,000	See Note A. below.
Equity Awards (UHS)	$	12,125,000	$	—	Pursuant to Note B. below, these are grants made by UHS, not UHT.
Equity Awards (UHT)		N /A	$	558,000	These awards are made directly by UHT and reflect the reported grant date fair value.
Other	$	1,159,000	$	—	These payments primarily relate to insurance premiums and UHS-related pension benefits that are not attributable to services provided on our behalf.
Total	$	16,899,000	$	1,710,000

Note A.

• The estimated pro rata portion of the cash incentive bonuses awarded by UHS, that for illustrative purposes can be attributable to UHT, was computed as follows:

^¡  Since the cash incentive bonuses awarded by UHS to Messrs. Miller and Boyle and Ms. Ramagano are discretionary, the portion of their cash incentive bonuses attributed to UHT for estimation purposes was based upon the estimated portion of their time spent rendering services on our behalf. Factors considered by UHS in determining the amount of cash incentive bonuses awarded to these individuals include evaluation of individual performance during the year and, if applicable, UHS’s achievement of pre-established financial metrics.

^¡  Since the cash incentive bonus awarded to Mr. Fowler from UHS is entirely based upon certain pre-established targets related solely to UHT, including return on investment of previous acquisitions and development projects, as well as transaction completion incentives, it was all attributed to UHT for estimation purposes.

Note B.

• The stock-based compensation awarded by our Advisor during 2021 to Mr. Alan B. Miller, who is also an NEO of UHS, consisted of options to purchase shares of UHS’s Class B Common Stock that vest ratably over a 4-year period:

^¡  50% of the total award value was delivered in stock options with an exercise price equal to the grant date market price of UHS’s Class B Common Stock of $138.80 per share, and;

18 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation

^¡  50% of the total award value was delivered in stock options with a premium exercise price of 110% of the grant date market price of UHS’s Class B Common Stock, or $152.68 per share.

• The stock-based compensation awarded by our Advisor during 2021 to Messrs. Boyle and Fowler and Ms. Ramagano, none of whom are NEOs of UHS, consisted of:

^¡  75% of the total award value was delivered in options to purchase shares of UHS’s Class B Common Stock, that vest ratably over a 4-year period, at a grant date market price of $138.80, and;

^¡  25% of the total award value was delivered in shares of UHS restricted stock that vest ratably over a 4-year period.

The aggregate compensation earned by our NEOs from the Advisor during 2021, as disclosed above, is for informational purposes only and not at all reflective of, or based upon, amounts due from us to the Advisor.

Our aggregate 2021 Advisory Fee paid to UHS was approximately $4.4 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, we are not liable for any additional amounts due to the Advisor for 2021, regardless of the compensation paid to our NEOs by the Advisor. Since the Advisory Fee is derived from our consolidated balance sheet, the nature of amount of the various underlying operating expenses incurred by the Advisor, including compensation paid to our NEOs, does not impact the amount of the Advisory Fee.

Elements of Compensation from UHT to our NEOs

Since we do not pay cash compensation in the form of annual base salaries to our NEOs, and typically do not pay cash bonuses, the chief element of our compensation program is the annual granting of long-term incentive awards.

On June 2, 2021, we granted shares of performance based restricted stock to each of our named executive officers which had an aggregate grant date value of $558,464 for the entire group. Threshold and target ranges of awards were developed for each NEO based on UHT’s relative performance to peers. The June, 2021 awards were made at target level for each NEO based upon UHT’s above average performance, as measured by UHT’s three- year average total shareholder return (“TSR”) for 2018 through 2020, as compared to the average TSR for the peer group and the average TSR for the NAREIT index. UHT’s TSR for the three-year period was 13.7% which outperformed the peer group average of 8.3% and the NAREIT index average of 6.3%.

Comparison of Our Advisory Fee and Other General and Administrative Expenses to Selected Healthcare REIT Peer Group:

The Advisory Agreement with UHS is scheduled to expire on December 31^st of each year. However, it is renewable by us on an annual basis, subject to a determination by the independent members of our Board of Trustees that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. As part of the annual review process, our Independent Trustees review the performance of our Advisor, as well as the performance of our NEOs. The annual review process also includes a review and benchmarking of our operating cost structure to that of a selected peer group of other healthcare REITs.

Data prepared by us on an annual basis calculates the percentages of our aggregate operating cost structure (“Operating Expenses”) consisting of our Advisory Fee and other general and administrative expenses (we have no salaries, wages and benefits expense), to our revenues, net assets and gross assets. Those percentages, calculated utilizing our financial data, are then compared to the percentages of the Operating Expenses of a selected peer group of other healthcare REITs consisting of their general and administrative expenses, including salaries, wages and benefits expense, to their respective revenues, net assets and gross assets.

Based upon the information outlined above, our Independent Trustees believe that the aggregate of our Advisory Fee and other general and administrative expenses are reasonable in comparison to the average general and administrative cost structures of the selected healthcare REIT peer group.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives:

Our compensation program is aligned with our philosophy by practices that are regulatory compliant, financially sound and provide long-term value to shareholders and generally include the following:

• Review of peer group market data

• Performance discussion is included on incentive decisions

• Practices are reviewed annually by our outside consultants

• Do not provide values generally outside of current market practices

• Do not offer excessive perquisites to our executives

In designing our stock-based compensation program for our named executive officers, we follow our belief that compensation should reflect the value created for shareholders while supporting our strategic business goals. Because of our management structure and advisory arrangement, historically, our compensation program has been basic. The Compensation Committee is guided by the following objectives:

• Compensation should encourage increased shareholder value;

• Compensation programs should support our short-term and long-term strategic business goals and objectives, and;

• Compensation should motivate our executive officers and other personnel toward outstanding performance and reward them for contributions toward business goals.

These objectives govern the decision-making process with respect to the amount and type of compensation payable to our named executive officers and other personnel. The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation programs annually to ensure that these objectives continue to be met.

Elements of Compensation:

In light of our management structure and advisory arrangement, we have historically provided limited compensation to our named executive officers and other personnel. The chief element of our compensation program is the periodic granting of long-term incentive awards. We typically do not pay cash compensation in the form of an annual base salary or cash bonuses to our named executive officers. All of our named executive officers are employees of UHS and, as such, are compensated by UHS.

The Compensation Committee believes that linking executive compensation to corporate performance results in a better alignment of compensation with corporate business goals and shareholder value. Long-term incentive awards are granted to motivate and encourage excellent service and to reward our named executive officers for their respective contributions. Long-term incentive compensation is based, in part, on our performance and the value received by shareholders. As we improve our performance, resulting in increased value to shareholders, our executives and other personnel are rewarded commensurately.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Setting Process:

Each year, the human resources personnel of our Advisor reviews general financial and compensation related information for companies identified as our peers. Such information includes a summary of revenues, assets, market capitalization and dividend yield. In addition, the stock-based compensation levels of our named executive officers are compared against those of comparable positions in other comparable companies. The compensation market data compiled by the human resources personnel of our Advisor is reviewed on an annual basis by our third-party consultant, Board Advisory, Inc., for accuracy and reasonableness.

In determining the amount of stock-based compensation awards granted to each of our named executive officers each year, the Compensation Committee considers our overall performance as compared to the peer group, our business activities conducted during the year, and an evaluation of each named executive officer’s individual performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee has traditionally relied upon the input and recommendations of our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alan B. Miller, who reviews and advises the Compensation Committee with respect to our compensation programs, including the compensation arrangements for our named executive officers and other personnel other than himself. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Miller’s role as Chief Executive Officer of the Trust since its inception in 1986 provides a valuable resource to them. Mr. Miller attends Compensation Committee meetings by invitation, however, he does not have the right to vote on matters addressed by the Compensation Committee and he does not participate in the discussions with respect to his own compensation. Compensation for Mr. Miller is determined by the Compensation Committee and typically guidance and advice is requested from the human resources department of our Advisor.

In March, 2020, the Board of Trustees adopted an amendment to the Universal Health Realty Income Trust Amended and Restated 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Amended and Restated Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders in June, 2020. This stock plan was originally approved by our shareholders in June, 2007 and was subsequently amended and restated and approved by our shareholders in June, 2016. The 2007 Amended and Restated Plan is designed to implement our compensation objectives stated herein. The 2007 Amended and Restated Plan, is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has full authority in its discretion, from time to time, and at any time, to select those officers to whom awards will be granted, to determine the number of shares subject thereto, the times at which such awards shall be granted, the time at which the awards shall vest, and the terms and conditions of the agreements to be entered into by our officers and other personnel. Our Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, requested guidance from a third-party compensation consulting firm with respect to the concepts and practices used for development of the original stock plan. The full Board of Trustees is responsible for administering incentive grants to our Independent Trustees. We do not have any plan to select grant dates for our named executive officers and trustees in coordination with the release of material non-public information.

The 2007 Amended and Restated Plan permits the granting of restricted shares of beneficial interest. The Compensation Committee believes restricted stock awards are more effective than stock options in achieving our compensation objectives, as restricted stock is subject to less market volatility and, depending on the total number of shares granted, is potentially less dilutive to our shares of beneficial interest. Recipients realize immediate value as restricted stock awards vest, with the value increasing as our stock performance increases. Commencing in 2020, quarterly dividends applicable to unvested restricted stock awards are deferred and accumulated until the restricted stock becomes vested. Dividends applicable to restricted stock awards made prior to 2020 were paid on a current basis. The Compensation Committee believes that periodic grants of long term incentive awards to our named executive officers and other personnel will serve to motivate and encourage excellent service and reward them for their respective contributions. Further, the Compensation Committee believes that this will enhance shareholder value and support our business goals because such long-term incentive compensation is based, in part, on our performance and the value received by shareholders.

Commencing in 2019, the restricted stock grants issued to our named executive officers under the 2007 Amended and Restated Plan were performance-based awards. Threshold and target ranges of awards were developed for each named executive officer based upon our relative performance to peers, as measured by our three-year average total shareholder return (“TSR”), as compared to the average TSR for the peer group and the average TSR for the NAREIT index. Vesting of restricted shares has historically been based upon continuing service. The Compensation Committee has the option to condition the vesting of a restricted stock award on the achievement of specified performance goals. Performance goals, if applicable, may be based on business criteria such as earnings per share, share price, total shareholder return, pre-tax profits, net earnings, return on equity or assets, revenues and funds from operations per share. Performance goals may be applied to an individual, the Trust and/or any one or more of our properties or other operating unit(s) as the Compensation Committee may designate. While attainment of the performance targets remains substantially uncertain, the Compensation Committee will be responsible for determining

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 21

Executive Compensation

whether and the extent to which the performance goals have been attained and the amount of compensation, if any, that is payable as a result. The Compensation Committee must certify in writing prior to payment of the compensation that the performance goals and any other material terms of the award were in fact satisfied.

2021 Compensation:

Since we do not pay cash compensation in the form of annual base salaries to our named executive officers, and typically do not pay cash bonuses, the chief element of our compensation program is the periodic granting of long-term incentive awards.

On June 2, 2021, we granted shares of performance based restricted stock to each of our named executive officers which had an aggregate grant date value of $558,464 for the entire group. Threshold and target ranges of awards were developed for each named executive officer based on UHT’s relative performance to peers. The June, 2021 awards were made at target level for each name executive officer based upon UHT’s above average performance, as measured by UHT’s three-year average total shareholder return (“TSR”) for 2018 through 2020, as compared to the average TSR for the peer group and the average TSR for the NAREIT index. UHT’s TSR for the three-year period was 13.7% which outperformed the peer group average of 8.3% and the NAREIT index average of 6.3%.

As discussed herein, the Compensation Committee believes that in the general absence of cash compensation, it is important to provide our named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, an incentive to increase shareholder value by awarding equity-based compensation. For a description of the long-term incentive awards granted to our named executive officers during 2021, you should read the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table included in this Proxy Statement.

In determining the number of shares of restricted stock granted to our named executive officers during 2021, our Compensation Committee reviewed competitive incentive pay and TSR data of a selected peer group. Incentive pay data was prepared by the human resource personnel of our Advisor and reviewed for accuracy by our outside consultant. The data compared the compensation levels of our named executive officers against those of comparable positions in a selected peer group consisting of other advisor managed healthcare real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in addition to peer companies of self-managed REITs with similar asset size and comparable dividend yield. TSR was reviewed for peer companies of similar REITs in addition to the average TSR for the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT Index).

The companies in the advisor peer group, which had no salaried employees since they are managed pursuant to advisory or management agreements, consisted of Service Properties Trust (formerly Hospitality Properties Trust) and Diversified Properties Trust (formerly Senior Housing Properties Trust). Companies included in the self-managed and comparable asset and dividend yield peer group were Agree Realty Corp., BRT Apartments Corp, Care Trust REIT, Community Healthcare Trust, Four Corners Properties Trust, Getty Realty Corp., Gladstone Commercial Corp., LTC Properties, Inc., One Liberty Properties, Inc., Sotherly (formerly MHI Hospitality), Stratus Properties, UMH Properties, Inc., and Wheeler REIT.

22 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee also considered Mr. Alan Miller’s recommendations and took into account each named executive officer’s position, responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance as well as his or her contribution to our growth and productivity. In addition, historical internal practices for stock awards were also reviewed and used as a basis for determining individual award amounts.

During the period analyzed, it was difficult to compare to the Advisory peer group since one company’s market capitalization dropped more than half as compared to the prior year value, and the other company recently hired its chief financial officer. The value of the equity grant awarded in June, 2021 to our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers were below the 25^th percentile of the self-managed and comparable asset and dividend yield peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation of our named executive officers during 2021 is reasonable in comparison to market rates based on the review of the compensation levels and TSR performance of the selected peer group.

We anticipate that the chief element of our compensation program will continue to be the periodic granting of long-term incentive awards issued pursuant to the terms of the 2007 Amended and Restated Plan. We do not intend to pay cash compensation in the form of an annual base salary to our named executive officers in 2022. The peer group and market data prepared by the human resource personnel of our Advisor during 2022 will be reviewed by our outside consultant for accuracy and reasonableness.

Rewards/Compensation Risk Analysis:

Since we typically pay no cash compensation and have historically had no incentive plans that are directly correlated to earnings, revenues or cash flows, we believe there were no excessive risks encouraged by the Trust’s stock-based compensation awards and that the awards do not produce compensation that have a material impact on the financial performance of the Trust.

Summary:

The foregoing discussion describes: (i) the compensation objectives and policies that were utilized with respect to our named executive officers and other personnel during 2021, and; (ii) our anticipated compensation program for 2022.

In the future, as the Compensation Committee continues to review each element of the executive compensation program with respect to our named executive officers and other personnel, the objectives of our executive compensation program, as well as the methods that the Compensation Committee utilizes to determine both the types and amounts of compensation to award to our named executive officers and other personnel, may change.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management; and based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Trust’s Proxy Statement.

(4) Non-management, non-Independent Trustee.

In June of 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed selected peer group data to assess the competitiveness of our Independent Trustee compensation. At the time of this analysis, no proxy filings were available for Condor Hospitality and Monmouth Real Estate Investment Group.

The data was prepared by the human resource personnel of our Advisor and reviewed for accuracy and reasonableness by our outside consultant, Board Advisory, Inc. The selected peer group included companies comparable to us based upon the following criteria: (i) total assets (selected companies with 2020 year-end total assets ranging from $366 million to $3.9 billion), and; (ii) scope of operations (selected companies with investments in commercial real estate). The selected peer group contained the following 13 companies: Agree Realty Corp., BRT Apartments, Care Trust REIT, Community Healthcare Trust, Four Corners Properties Trust, Getty Realty Corp., Gladstone Commercial Corp., LTC Properties, Inc., One Liberty Properties, Inc., Sotherly (formerly MHI Hospitality), Stratus Properties, UMH Properties, Inc. and Wheeler REIT.

During 2021, each Independent Trustee was paid annual compensation of $20,000 for service on the Board of Trustees. In addition, each Independent Trustee was paid $1,000 for attendance in person at each regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, or $500 for telephonic participation. An additional $500 was paid for participation in each Committee meeting or special meeting of the Board of Trustees.

During 2021:

Gayle L. Capozzalo, was compensated $1,250 for her services as the Compensation Committee Chairperson, $1,250 for her services as a member of the Audit Committee and $8,000 for meeting fees.

Michael Allan Domb was compensated $2,500 for meeting fees.

Robert F. McCadden, Lead Trustee, was compensated $2,500 for his services in that capacity, $1,250 as Nominating & Governance Committee Chairman, $5,000 as Audit Committee Chairman, and $8,000 for meeting fees.

James P. Morey, was compensated $1,250 for his services as a member of the Audit Committee and $7,000 for meeting fees.

Travel expenses incurred in connection with their duties as Trustees were reimbursed to the Trustees, if applicable.

Trustee Independence

The Board of Trustees has affirmatively determined that four of its six current members (Gayle L. Capozzalo, Michael Allan Domb, Robert F. McCadden and James P. Morey) are “independent” under the applicable SEC rules and regulations and the

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 27

Trustee Compensation

NYSE listing standards. In determining independence, the Board of Trustees affirmatively determines each year whether Trustees have any material relationship with us. When assessing the materiality of a Trustee’s relationship with us, the Board of Trustees considers all relevant facts and circumstances, not merely from the Trustee’s standpoint, but also from the standpoint of the persons or organizations with which the Trustee has an affiliation. Material relationships can include commercial, banking, industrial, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. The Board of Trustees has concluded that no material relationship exists between us and any of our Independent Trustees other than each such person’s position as one of our Trustees.

Meetings of the Board of Trustees

Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees are generally held quarterly, while special meetings are called when necessary. Before each meeting, Trustees are furnished with an agenda and background materials relating to matters to be discussed. During 2021, there were four regular meetings of the Board of Trustees. All Trustees participated in substantially all of the Board meetings and all of their applicable committee meetings of the Board of Trustees. All of our Trustees attended the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders virtually, via a live audio webcast. All of the Trustees are expected to attend future Annual Meetings of Shareholders.

Our Governance Guidelines provide that the Board of Trustees shall hold, in accordance with a schedule determined by the Nominating & Governance Committee, executive sessions where non-management Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not our officers, but who do not otherwise have to qualify as “Independent Trustees”) meet without management participation (except as otherwise specifically requested by the non-management Trustees). The Independent Trustees met without management participation in December, 2021. Interested parties may communicate directly and confidentially with the Lead Trustee (Robert F. McCadden) or with the non-management Trustees of the Board of Trustees as a group by writing to that person at Universal Health Realty Income Trust, c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

Board Leadership Structure and Board of Trustees

Mr. Alan B. Miller serves as the Trust’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Robert F. McCadden is the Lead Trustee. The Trust believes this structure allows all of the non-management Trustees to participate in the full range of the Board’s responsibilities with respect to its oversight of the Trust’s management. The Board has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate given the size and complexity of the Trust, the number of trustees overseeing the Trust and the Board’s oversight responsibilities.

The Board holds four regular meetings each year to consider and address matters involving the Trust. The Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. These meetings may take place in person or by telephone. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive sessions outside the presence of management. The Board has access to legal counsel for consultation concerning any issues that may occur during or between regularly scheduled Board meetings. As discussed below, the Board has established a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee and a Nominating & Governance Committee to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.

The Nominating & Governance Committee annually oversees a self-evaluation of the current Board members and those committees as the Board shall specify from time to time and reports to the Board with respect to whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. The full Board discusses each evaluation report to determine what, if any, actions should be taken to improve the effectiveness of the Board or any committee thereof.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Consistent with its responsibility for oversight of the Trust, the Board, among other things, oversees risk management of the Trust’s business affairs directly and through the committee structure that it has established. The principal risks associated with the Trust are risks related to a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States; indirect dependence on payments from the government and other third party payors; the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the tenants of our properties, reductions or changes in Medicare funding; failure of the operators of our hospital facilities to comply with governmental regulations related to the Medicare and Medicaid licensing and certification requirements which could materially, adversely impact our future revenues and underlying value of the property; uncertainties regarding health care reform; competition for patients from other hospitals and health care providers; operators’ inability to meet their obligations to us; the deterioration of credit and capital markets; dependence on one operator (UHS) for a substantial portion of our revenues; potential conflicts of interest with UHS; lost revenues resulting from the exercise of purchase options, lease expirations/related hospital property vacancies, loan repayments and other restructuring; non-controlling equity ownership interests we hold in various limited liability companies; the bankruptcy, default, insolvency or financial deterioration of our tenants; real estate ownership; significant potential liabilities and rising insurance costs and availability; the impact on property values and results of operations from severe weather conditions and other damaging events; failure to maintain our REIT status; the fact that dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates; U.S. federal tax reform legislation that could affect REITs in ways that are difficult to anticipate; strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs; the market value of our common stock could be substantially affected by various factors; ownership limitations and anti-takeover provisions in our

declaration of trust and bylaws and under Maryland law and in our leases with UHS; dependence on key management personnel; increasing investor interest in our sector and consolidation at the operator or REIT level; failure to comply with all applicable corporate regulation as a public company; the potential impact of cyber security breaches, and different interpretations of accounting principles could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Board’s role in the Trust’s risk oversight process includes regular reports from senior management on areas of material risk to the Trust, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks. The full Board (or the appropriate committee) receives these reports from management to identify and discuss such risks.

The Board periodically reviews with management its strategies, techniques, policies and procedures designed to manage these risks. Under the overall supervision of the Board, management has implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls to address these risks.

The Board requires management to report to the full Board on a variety of matters at regular meetings of the Board and on an as-needed basis, including the performance and operations of the Trust and other matters relating to risk management. The Audit Committee also receives regular reports from the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. These reviews are conducted in conjunction with the Board’s risk oversight function and enable the Board to review and assess any material risks facing the Trust. Robert F. McCadden, the Lead Trustee, periodically meets with management and the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the activities of the Trust and to provide direction with respect thereto.

Policy on Hedging Transactions

The Trust has a policy that prohibits the Trust’s employees and the Trustees from engaging in any hedging transaction that would result in lack of exposure to the full risks of stock ownership. Prohibited hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, collars, forward sale contracts, trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls or other derivative instruments related to Trust stock or debt.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who wish to send communications to the Board of Trustees or an individual Trustee should address such communications to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406. The Secretary will forward such communications to the Board of Trustees or the specified individual Trustee to whom the communication is directed unless such communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding such communication.

Copies of these documents also are available in print free of charge to any shareholder who requests a copy. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K relating to amendments to or waivers of any provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by promptly posting the information on our website.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met once in 2021. Current members of the Compensation Committee are Gayle L. Capozzalo, who serves as the Chairperson, Michael Allan Domb, and Robert F. McCadden. The members of the Compensation Committee are independent pursuant to the applicable SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the NYSE.

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities, which are discussed in detail in its charter, include, among other duties, the responsibility to:

• Review and approve our goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer, other executive officers and other personnel;

• Determine and approve the compensation levels of our chief executive officer, other executive officers and other personnel and review and determine the compensation of our Independent Trustees;

30 UHT 2022 Proxy Statement

Trustee Compensation

• Administer our Amended and Restated 2007 Restricted Stock Plan, as Amended (“2007 Amended and Restated Plan”) and discharge the duties set forth therein, and;

• Perform such other duties as the Board of Trustees may from time to time direct.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to establish one or more subcommittees which shall have the responsibilities and consist of those members of the Compensation Committee as the Compensation Committee may determine from time to time.

In its administration of the 2007 Amended and Restated Plan, the Compensation Committee has full authority in its discretion from time to time, and at any time, to select those officers and/or other personnel to whom awards will be granted, to determine the number of shares subject thereto, the times at which such awards shall be granted, the time at which the awards shall vest, and the terms and conditions of the agreements to be entered into by our officers. The full Board of Trustees is responsible for administering incentive grants to the Trustees. In determining the amount and terms of long-term incentive grants to be made to our named executive officers and other personnel other than Mr. Miller, the Compensation Committee relies heavily on the input and recommendations of Mr. Miller. See the section titled “Compensation Setting Process,” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement for an additional discussion of the role of Mr. Miller in determining compensation.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee requested guidance from the human resource personnel of our Advisor, along with third-party validation of the accuracy and reasonableness of the compensation market review, with respect to the compensation for the named executive officers and Independent Trustees. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Trustee Compensation” included in this proxy statement for additional information.

Nominating & Governance Committee. The Nominating & Governance Committee met once in 2021. The current members of this Committee are Robert F. McCadden, who serves as the Chairman, Gayle L. Capozzalo and James P. Morey. The members of the Nominating & Governance Committee are independent pursuant to the applicable SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the NYSE.

The Nominating & Governance Committee was appointed by the Board of Trustees to: (1) assist the Board of Trustees by identifying individuals who are qualified, consistent with criteria approved by the Board of Trustees, to become Trustees, and to recommend to the Board of Trustees the Trustee nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders; (2) develop and recommend to the Board of Trustees a set of governance principles in the form of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Trust; (3) lead and oversee the Board of Trustees in its annual review of its performance and the performance of our management, and; (4) recommend to the Board Trustee nominees for each committee of the Board of Trustees. The Nominating & Governance Committee adopted our Governance Guidelines.

The Nominating & Governance Committee will consider Trustee nominees recommended by shareholders. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee for the Nominating & Governance Committee’s consideration may do so by submitting the individual’s name and qualifications to the Nominating & Governance Committee, Universal Health Realty Income Trust, c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406. Recommendations must be received by the Nominating & Governance Committee no later than the date by which shareholder proposals for presentation at the next annual meeting must be received, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Recommended nominees will only be considered if there is a vacancy or if the Board of Trustees decides to increase the number of Trustees.

The Nominating & Governance Committee identifies and evaluates recommended nominees by considering, among other factors, the following minimum qualifications: the individual’s integrity, experience, education, expertise, independence and any other factors that the Board of Trustees and the Nominating & Governance Committee deem would enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Trustees and our governance. The Board of Trustees believes that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of Trustees to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board has one female member and has refreshed the Board by replacing 75% of the Independent Trustees of the Board within the last five years. The Board believes that it is important to further increase the diversity of the Board. In that regard the Board of Trustees has decided to pursue adding a member of an underrepresented minority group to the Board. The executive recruiter of our Advisor has recently commenced the candidate search.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Policies are available on the Trust’s website at: www.uhrit.com. The Nominating & Governance Committee will evaluate a nominee on the same basis if the individual is recommended by a shareholder. The

Nominating & Governance Committee does not currently pay a fee to a third party to identify or evaluate nominees, but may consider from time to time engaging a search firm to identify trustee candidates.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met ten times in 2021. Current members of this Committee are Robert F. McCadden, who serves as the Chairman, Gayle L. Capozzalo and James P. Morey.

Our Board of Trustees has determined, in its business judgment, that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as independent in accordance with the applicable SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the NYSE and is financially literate and that Robert F. McCadden qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC regulations and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The Audit Committee is responsible for providing assistance to the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to corporate accounting and reporting practices and in maintaining a direct line of communication between the Trustees and the independent registered public accounting firm. It appoints our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the scope and results of the audits with the independent registered public accounting firm and considers the adequacy of our internal accounting and control procedures.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain properties from subsidiaries of UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. The base rentals and lease and renewal terms for each of the hospitals leased to subsidiaries of UHS as of January 1, 2022 are provided below. The base rents are paid monthly. The lease on McAllen Medical Center also provides for bonus rent which is paid quarterly based upon a computation that compares the hospital’s current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The hospital leases with subsidiaries of UHS, with the exception of the lease on Clive Behavioral Health Hospital (which is operated by UHS in a joint venture with an unrelated third party), are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the three acute care and one behavioral health care hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS at December 31, 2021, (McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare and Clive Behavioral Health), before giving effect to the December 31, 2021 asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates as discussed below, accounted for approximately 23% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 25%, 22% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively). In addition to these four UHS hospital facilities, we have twenty properties consisting of MOBs (including one under construction) and FEDs that are either wholly or jointly-owned by us that include, or will include, tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively).

On December 31, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with UHS and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the terms of which:

• a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS purchased from us, the real estate assets of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System located in Wildomar, California, at its fair market value of $79.6 million.

• two wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS transferred to us, the real estate assets of the following properties:

^¡  Aiken Regional Medical Center (“Aiken”), located in Aiken, South Carolina (which includes an acute care hospital and a behavioral health pavilion), at its fair-market value of approximately $57.7 million, and;

^¡  Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (“Canyon Creek”), located in Temple, Texas, at its fair-market value of approximately $26.1 million, including land.

• in connection with this transaction, since the fair-market value of Aiken and Canyon Creek, which totaled approximately $83.8 million in the aggregate, exceeded the $79.6 million fair-market value of the Inland Valley Campus of Southwest Healthcare System, we paid approximately $4.2 million in cash to UHS. This transaction generated a gain of approximately $68.4 million which is included in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We have accounted for the asset sale and purchase agreement with UHS as a financing arrangement and have recorded a financing receivable for the $83.8 million fair market value of the real estate assets that we received as part of the transaction. Additionally, we structured the purchase and sale of the above-mentioned properties as a like-kind exchange of property under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Also on December 31, 2021, Aiken and Canyon Creek (as lessees), entered into a master lease and individual property leases (with us as lessor), as amended in March, 2022, for initial lease terms on each property of approximately twelve years, ending on December 31, 2033. Subject to the terms of the master lease, Aiken and Canyon Creek have the right to renew their leases, at the then current fair market rent (as defined in the master lease), for seven, five-year optional renewal terms. The aggregate annual rental during 2022 pursuant to the leases for these two facilities, which is payable to us on a monthly basis, amounts to approximately $5.7 million (consisting of $3.9 million related to Aiken and $1.8 million related to Canyon Creek). There is no bonus rental component applicable to either of these leases. Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2033, the annual rental will increase by 2.25% on a cumulative and compounded basis. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the Inland Valley Campus, we earned $4.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.9 million in bonus rental) and $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 (consisting of $2.6 million in base rental and $1.8 million in bonus rental).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Pursuant to the terms of the master leases by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 and December 31, 2021 (the “Master Leases”), which govern the leases of McAllen Medical Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center (governed by the Master Lease dated December 24, 1986), Aiken Regional Medical Center and Canyon Creek Behavioral Health (governed by the Master Lease dated December 31, 2021), all of which are hospital properties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option, among other things, to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities from us at their appraised fair market value upon any of the following: (i) at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms; (ii) upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, or; (iii) within the time period as specified in the leases in the event that UHS provides notice to us of their intent to offer a substitution property/properties in exchange for one (or more) of the four wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities leased from us, should we be unable to reach an agreement with UHS on the properties to be substituted. Additionally, UHS has rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is the managing, majority member in a joint-venture with an unrelated third-party that operates, and leases from us, Clive Behavioral Health. This 100-bed behavioral health care facility is located in Clive, Iowa and was completed and opened in late December, 2020 and the hospital lease commenced on December 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, we earned $2.5 million of lease revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. The lease on this facility is triple net and has an initial term of 20 years with five 10-year renewal options. Beginning on January 1, 2022, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2040 (and potentially through 2070 if the first three of five, 10-year renewal options are exercised), the annual rental will increase by 2.75% on a cumulative and compounded basis. The first three of the five 10-year renewal options will provide for annual rental as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the two additional 10-year lease renewal options will be at fair market value lease rates (2071 through 2090). Pursuant to the lease on this facility, the joint venture has the option to, among other things, renew the lease at the terms specified in the lease agreement by providing notice to us at least 270 days prior to the termination of the then current term. The joint venture also has the right to purchase the leased facility from us at its appraised fair market value upon either of the following: (i) by providing notice at least 270 days prior to the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms, or; (ii) upon 30 days’ notice anytime within 12 months of a change of control of the Trust (UHS also has this right should the joint venture decline to exercise its purchase right). Additionally, the joint venture has rights of first offer to purchase the facility prior to any third-party sale.

The table below details the existing lease terms and renewal options for each of the hospital leases that are related to UHS as of January 1, 2022, consisting of three acute care hospitals and three behavioral health hospitals:

Hospital Name	Annual Minimum Rent		End of Lease Term	Renewal Term (years)
McAllen Medical Center	$	5,485,000	December, 2026		5	(a)
Wellington Regional Medical Center	$	6,319,000	December, 2026		5	(b)
Aiken Regional Medical Center/Aurora Pavilion Behavioral Health Services	$	3,895,000	December, 2033		35	(c)
Canyon Creek Behavioral Health	$	1,761,000	December, 2033		35	(c)
Clive Behavioral Health Hospital	$	2,628,000	December, 2040		50	(d)

(a) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at existing lease rates (through 2031).

(b) UHS has one 5-year renewal option at fair market value lease rates (through 2031; see additional disclosure below).

(c) UHS has seven 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2034 through 2068).

(d) The UHS-related joint venture has five 10-year renewal options; the first three of the five 10-year renewal options will be at computed lease rates as stipulated in the lease (2041 through 2070) and the last two 10-year renewal options will be at fair market lease rates (2071 through 2090).

Upon the December 31, 2021 expiration of the lease on Wellington Regional Medical Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its fair market value renewal option and renewed the lease for a 5-year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026. Effective January 1, 2022, the annual fair market value lease rate for this hospital, which is payable to us monthly, is $6.3 million (there is no longer a bonus rental component of the lease payment). Beginning on January 1, 2023, and thereafter on each January 1^st through 2026, the annual rent will increase by 2.50% on a cumulative and compounded basis. Pursuant to the hospital’s previous lease, we earned aggregate lease revenue of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.5 million of bonus rental) and $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 ($3.0 million of base rental and $2.1 million of bonus rental).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Management cannot predict whether the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates or fair market value lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease term. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates or the fair market value lease rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases. In addition, if subsidiaries of UHS exercise their options to purchase the respective leased hospital or FED facilities upon expiration of the lease terms, our future revenues could decrease if we were unable to earn a favorable rate of return on the sale proceeds received, as compared to the rental revenue currently earned pursuant to these leases.

In January, 2022, we entered into a ground lease and master flex-lease agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS with the intent to develop, construct and own the real property of Sierra Medical Plaza I, an MOB located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of approximately 86,000 rentable square feet. This MOB will be located on the campus of the Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, a newly constructed hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, which is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2022. Construction of this MOB, for which we have engaged a non-related third party to act as construction manager, commenced in January, 2022. The cost of the MOB is estimated to be approximately $34 million. The master flex lease agreement, which is subject to reduction based upon the execution of third-party leases, is for approximately 68% of the rentable square feet of the MOB.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we purchased the 5% minority ownership interest held by a third-party member in Grayson Properties, LP which owns the Texoma Medical Plaza, an MOB located in Denison, Texas for approximately $3.1 million. The MOB is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. A third-party appraisal was completed to determine the fair value of the property. As a result of this minority ownership purchase during the fourth quarter of 2021, we own 100% of the LP and are therefore consolidating this LP effective with the purchase date. We do not expect a material impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of this LP subsequent to the transaction.

In May, 2021, we acquired the Fire Mesa office building located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of approximately $12.9 million. The building is 100% leased under the terms of a triple net lease by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. The initial lease is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2027 and has two five-year renewal options. The acquisition of this office building is part of a series of planned tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

In September 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby we own a 95% non-controlling ownership interest in Grayson Properties II L.P., which developed, constructed, owns and operates the Texoma Medical Plaza II, an MOB located in Denison, Texas. This MOB, which was substantially completed in December 2020, is located on the campus of Texoma Medical Center, a hospital that is owned and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. A 10-year master flex lease was executed with the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS for over 50% of the rentable square feet of the MOB and commenced in December 2020 upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We account for this LP on an unconsolidated basis pursuant to the equity method since it is not a variable interest entity and we do not have a controlling voting interest.

We are the lessee on twelve ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS (for consolidated and unconsolidated investments). The remaining lease terms on the ground leases with subsidiaries of UHS range from approximately 28 years to approximately 77 years. The annual aggregate lease payments on these properties are approximately $508,000 for the year ended 2021 and $508,000 for each of the years ended 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and an aggregate of $29.0 million thereafter.

Officers and Employees: Our officers are all employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and although as of December 31, 2021 we had no salaried employees, our officers do typically receive annual stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. In special circumstances, if warranted and deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, our officers may also receive one-time compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and/or cash bonuses.

Advisory Agreement: UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an advisory agreement dated December 24, 1986, and as amended and restated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). In performing its

UHT 2022 Proxy Statement 35

services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement was renewed for 2022 with the same terms as the Advisory Agreement in place during 2021 and 2020.

Our advisory fee for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was computed at 0.70% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet. Based upon a review of our advisory fee and other general and administrative expenses, as compared to an industry peer group, the advisory fee computation remained unchanged for 2021, as compared to the last three years. The average real estate assets for advisory fee calculation purposes exclude certain items from our consolidated balance sheet such as, among other things, accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, lease receivables, deferred charges and other assets. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $4.4 million during 2021, $4.1 million during 2020 and $4.0 million during 2019 and were based upon average invested real estate assets of $629 million, $592 million and $568 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share Ownership: As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, UHS owned 5.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS: UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the aggregate revenues generated from UHS-related tenants comprised approximately 32% of our consolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2021 (approximately 37%, 33% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively), and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SEC’s website. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all employees, officers and Trustees of the Trust, including family members and entities in which such persons have an interest (except any other publicly traded company in which such persons have less than a 5% interest) should avoid any relationship or financial interest which gives rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest between us and the employee, officer or Trustee. If an employee, officer or Trustee becomes aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest, he or she should promptly bring it to the attention of, and disclose all material facts to, one or more of a supervisor, a member of our legal staff, or the Chairperson of the Nominating & Governance Committee of the Board.

Pursuant to Section 4.9 of our Declaration of Trust, we may not engage in a transaction with any employee, officer, agent or Trustee of the Trust or with any employee, officer, agent or director of the Advisor, or any affiliate thereof except to the extent that such transaction has been approved or ratified by a majority of the Trustees who do not have an interest in the transaction. We may not engage in a transaction with our Advisor or any affiliate thereof (such as UHS) except to the extent that such transaction has been approved or ratified by a majority of the Independent Trustees. In approving or rejecting the proposed agreement, the Trustees will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant, including but not limited to, the risks, costs, and benefits to us, the terms of the transactions, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on Trustee independence. In general, the Trustees shall only approve those agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in our best interests and that are fair and reasonable to us and our shareholders. For certain transactions with related persons, our Declaration of Trust requires that, based on an independent real estate appraiser, the total consideration is not in excess of the appraised value of the interest in the real property being acquired or disposed of, as applicable. If a transaction involves payments by us for services rendered (other than as Advisor, officer or Trustee), our Declaration of Trust requires that the payments made by us may not be in excess of payments made by third-parties to the related person for comparable services in the same geographic area and may not be in excess of fees charged by parties unrelated to us for comparable services in the same geographic area. All of our transactions with UHS and our Advisor were approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability

The Board of Trustees and its committees oversee the environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives across our facilities.

We recognize the need to protect the natural environment as well as serve our tenants and the communities in which our facilities operate. Keeping our surroundings clean and minimizing pollution is of benefit to all. We are committed to following best practices when managing our energy usage and consumption and disposing of waste. Stewardship continues to play an important role in our commitment to a clean environment and strong communities.

Environmental Stewardship

We are determined to provide efficient, well-designed properties for our healthcare tenants while partnering with third-party management providers who support the core tenets of sustainability. In addition to our newly constructed properties, our existing buildings, which make up the bulk of our portfolio, continually undergo evaluation and capital reinvestment that result in long-term benefits to both our tenants and the environment. When considering capital reinvestment into our properties, we closely examine and evaluate each project’s energy efficiency, pay-back period, reduction in carbon footprint and sustainability. Capital reinvestment projects authorized by us, which help to promote energy efficiency, reduce waste, as well as protect the environment, include the following features:

• Updated/Upgraded building automation systems installed at our buildings which monitor tenant and common area temperatures while optimizing start/stop equipment times, maximizing energy savings without sacrificing comfort.

• As we remodel our second-generation tenant space, we typically upgrade older style lighting systems to LED lighting, as it is often required in order to obtain a building permit. Therefore, we are continually reinvesting and upgrading to LED lighting which contains no hazardous materials, and longer typical lightbulb lifespans resulting in less waste and uses significantly less energy for light output comparable to older technologies. In addition, LED lighting creates significantly less heat, lowering electricity costs to power major HVAC systems. LED retrofits are built into all new and revised building construction standards.

• In buildings where available, trash recycling programs are in place.

• Interior lighting in stairwells and restrooms are installed with timers and motion sensors to reduce energy consumption and prolong equipment life.

• Third-party janitorial partners are requested to use “green” cleaning products and methods designed to preserve human health and environmental quality.

• New roofing systems if/when required where insulation upgrades result in overall energy savings.

• New construction and building improvements, when applicable, includes water-saving devices.

• Updated HVAC systems and controls, saving energy and further eliminating the use of ozone-depleting refrigerants, are replacing older HVAC systems, as and when applicable.

• Major elevator retrofits and modernizations are occurring as and when applicable, utilizing less energy.

• Xeriscape, or dry-scape, has been installed in place of more traditional landscape design to limit or eliminate turf and, instead, install water efficient plants and minimize water consumption.

In addition, our newest developments are built to codes where it is now typical that sustainability and green building practices are mandated. Below are features included in certain of our newer buildings that were recently constructed during the five years ended December 31, 2021:

• The Henderson Medical Plaza, located in Union Village, Henderson, NV, is part of a master planned integrated medical village. Henderson Medical Plaza’s development was committed to sustainable design and direction from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”). LEED is the term used for a building that is built green and Henderson Medical Plaza meets the minimum standard for certification under the LEED rating system for new healthcare construction as established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

• Texoma Medical Plaza II, located in Denison, Texas, has been developed utilizing an environmentally responsible design, including high-performance building envelope, energy efficient systems and water conserving fixtures. The new building

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability

envelope exceeds the requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (“IECC”), providing greater thermal performance for all exterior walls, roof systems, and high-performance glazing. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for the new facility exceed IECC requirements, through strategies such as variable frequency drives, variable speed exhaust fans, energy management systems, high efficiency plumbing fixtures, touchless sensor faucets, car charging stations, lighting occupancy sensors, and LED lighting.

• Clive Behavioral Health, located in Clive, Iowa, has been developed with an eye towards sustainable and energy efficient systems, including strategies for storm water management, high-performance building envelope, and energy usage efficiency. An underground retention and water quality system allows for the storage and treatment of surface water within the confines a tightly restricted site without affecting neighboring properties. The new building envelope exceeds the requirements of the IECC, providing greater thermal performance for all exterior walls, roof systems, and high-performance glazing. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for the new facility exceed IECC requirements, through strategies such as variable frequency drives, 95% efficiency boilers, total heat recovery, variable speed exhaust hoods, lighting occupancy sensors, and LED lighting.

• Sierra Medical Office Building, currently under development, is being constructed in strict conformance with the International Energy Code, resulting in an inherently energy efficient property. In addition to many of the attributes of the Clive Behavioral Hospital, Sierra Medical Office Building will include the installation of eight electric vehicle charging stations. In addition, we have added environmental sustainability language to our standard lease language requiring cooperation to implement a sustainability plan for the property and adopting initiatives aimed at improving the sustainability performance of the property.

• Aiken Regional Medical Center, located in Aiken, South Carolina, is an acute care hospital that we acquired in December, 2021. This hospital facility earned the prestigious distinction of ENERGY STAR Certification for their existing buildings. To be certified as ENERGY STAR, a building must meet stringent energy performance standards established by the EPA.

Audit Committee Report

The Board of Trustees is committed to the accuracy and integrity of the Trust’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee takes an involved and active role in delivering on this commitment.

The Audit Committee provides independent, objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls.

The Audit Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses and consults with our management and the internal audit personnel and the independent registered public accounting firm about the following:

• the plan for, and the independent auditors’ report on, each audit of our consolidated financial statements and internal controls;

• changes in our accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies, or in our financial statements;

• significant developments in accounting rules;

• the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, and accounting, financial and auditing personnel; and

• the establishment and maintenance of a work environment that promotes ethical behavior.

The Audit Committee acts under a written charter which was originally adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2004 and is reviewed and approved on an annual basis. The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Trustees with respect to various auditing, accounting, financial reporting, internal control and regulatory compliance matters. In discharging its oversight role, the Audit Committee may engage independent counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee also has the direct responsibility to select, evaluate, determine the compensation of, oversee, and where appropriate, replace our independent auditors, and has the authority to resolve disagreements between management and our auditors. The Audit Committee may establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Trust regarding accounting and auditing matters, as well as confidential, anonymous submission by employees. The Board of Trustees has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Audit Committee took a number of steps in making this recommendation for 2021:

• First, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audits.

• Second, the Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their audits, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

• Third, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

• Fourth, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

• Fifth, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Trust, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

• Finally, the Audit Committee obtained and reviewed a report from the independent auditor describing: (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures; (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent auditor, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years inspecting one or more independent audits carried out by the independent auditor, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (iii) all relationships between the independent auditor and the Trust.

The Audit Committee reviewed our financial statements with the Board of Trustees and discussed them with KPMG LLP during the 2021 fiscal year, along with the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended, and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Audit Committee received from KPMG LLP the written disclosures, including the letter, required by PCAOB 3524 and 3526 and discussed with KPMG LLP its independence.

Based on the discussions with KPMG LLP and management and the consolidated financial statement review, and such other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on February 24, 2022.

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

KPMG LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2021 and 2020 fiscal years and has been selected to serve in that capacity for us for the 2022 fiscal year. It is anticipated that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to any appropriate inquiries of the shareholders or their representatives.

Set forth below are the fees paid or accrued for the services of KPMG LLP during 2021 and 2020:

	2021		2020
Audit fees	$	633,000	$	595,000
Audit-related fees		—		140,000
Tax fees		227,810		239,610
All other fees		—		—
Total	$	860,810	$	974,610

Audit fees for 2021 and 2020 consisted primarily of professional services rendered to us or various audits of limited liability companies in which we hold equity interests. Such audit services include audits of financial statements, audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and audit services provided in connection with regulatory filings. Included in the 2021 and 2020 audit fees were fees related to our 2021 and 2020 acquisitions.

Audit-related fees for 2020 consisted primarily of professional services rendered to us related to our at-the-market equity issuance program which commenced during the second quarter of 2020.

Tax fees for professional services rendered in 2021 and 2020 consisted primarily of the preparation of federal and state income tax returns and consultation on various tax matters related to us or limited liability companies in which we hold equity interests.

The Audit Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services by our principal auditor is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

All audit and permissible non-audit services provided to us by the independent auditors are pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which considers whether the proposed services would impair the independence of the independent auditors. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services during the time between Audit Committee meetings if the fees for the proposed services are less than $25,000.
