Item 8.01
Other Events.
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) (“HTA”) announced today that its board of directors has declared a cash dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 in the amount of $0.295 per share. This represents an annualized rate of $1.18 per share and an annualized yield of 4.4% based on HTA’s closing share price as of February 17, 2016. The dividend will be paid on April 8, 2016 to stockholders of record on April 1, 2016.
The amount of dividends HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by HTA’s board of directors, at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, HTA’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain HTA’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. HTA’s board of directors may reduce its dividend rate and HTA cannot guarantee the amount of dividends paid in the future, if any.
