Healthcare Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTIA / HTIBP) (“HTI”) announced today that, in anticipation of a potential future listing of HTI’s common stock on a national securities exchange, it has provided notice to Healthcare Trust Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), the external advisor to HTI, of its intent to transition to self-management and internalize management functions (the “Internalization”). The Company expects the Internalization to close no later than the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. The Company believes that the consummation of the Internalization will be an important step in the Company’s ongoing evaluation of a potential listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange, which could occur, subject to market conditions, as early as 2025.

“We are excited to embark on this next phase of our Company and believe this is a milestone event for HTI. We look forward to working with the Advisor to consummate this Internalization and better position ourselves for a potential listing, which we believe would provide HTI with access to additional capital and liquidity for our existing stockholders,” said Michael Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of HTI.

The Company intends to change its name to National Healthcare Properties, Inc. in connection with the anticipated Internalization.

There can be no assurance that the Internalization will close within the anticipated time frame or at all, or that the HTI will be able to list its shares of common stock on a national securities exchange.
