Land & Buildings Urges NHI Stockholders to Vote FOR Land & Buildings’ Two Highly Qualified Nominees on the GOLD Proxy Card

Today, Land & Buildings Investment Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Land & Buildings”), a significant stockholder of National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE: NHI) (“NHI” or the “Company”), announced that independent proxy advisory firm Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) has recommended that stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Land & Buildings’ independent nominees – Jim Hoffmann and Adam Troso – to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), scheduled for May 21, 2025.

In its report, Glass Lewis supported Land & Buildings’ case for change, stating:¹

• “[Robert Adams and Jimmy Jobe’s] prolonged tenure and historical ties to [National Healthcare Corp. (‘NHC’)] continue to raise legitimate questions about their ability to provide fully objective oversight in connection with one of the Company’s most sensitive and strategically significant leases.”

• “… [S]hareholder confidence in the outcome of the NHC lease renewal, and in the board’s governance posture more broadly, would be better served by more substantive change.”

• “…[O]ngoing concerns regarding legacy relationships and board independence remain unresolved...”

Glass Lewis outlined NHI’s persistent underperformance, noting:

• “… [T]he Company’s underperformance over longer horizons may raise concerns regarding the board’s long-term capital deployment decisions and strategic oversight, particularly in light of the long tenures of directors Adams and Jobe…”

Glass Lewis highlighted the strong qualifications of Land & Buildings’ nominees, stating:

• “… [T]he election of both Dissident Nominees in place of Management Nominees Adams and Jobe, would enhance the board’s independence and credibility while bringing complementary experience in real estate investment, governance, and capital allocation.”

• “… [Messrs. Hoffmann and Troso’s] skill sets appear additive to the board’s existing composition and well-aligned with the oversight and analytical demands of the upcoming lease renewal and capital deployment efforts.”

Land & Buildings Founder and Chief Investment Officer, Jonathan Litt stated: “We are pleased that Glass Lewis has recognized the need for change in the NHI boardroom and shares our concerns regarding the Board’s interconnections and oversight of long-term underperformance. In its report, Glass Lewis agrees that Land & Buildings’ nominees, Jim Hoffmann and Adam Troso, would bring the necessary skill sets and objectivity to enhance the Board’s independence, restore credibility and help manage the analytical demands of the upcoming NHC lease negotiations. Now is a critical time to improve stewardship. If elected, Jim and Adam are prepared to work collaboratively in the boardroom to prioritize stockholder value and help realize NHI’s true potential as a best-in-class REIT.”
