Investor Verification Checklist
- SHOP Segment Conversion: Verify the long-term impact of converting NNN properties to the SHOP segment on overall portfolio stability and operating expense volatility.

- Equity Forward Sales: Monitor the settlement of unsettled equity forward sales agreements ($1.5 billion as of June 30) and potential dilution effects.
- Tenant Concentration: Assess the financial health of major tenants/managers, specifically Kindred (Scion) and Ardent, given their significant contribution to NOI.
- Impairment Trends: Track the frequency and magnitude of impairment charges in the SHOP segment as the company continues to acquire and reposition assets.
